Russia - worrying?

[lookout]

Fortunately the Russians need the railway. They cannot move their men equipment, etc by road as we have seen and it is easily attacked. They will need a functioning rail system to keep control if they succeed

Yes, of course Bubo bubo. I should have known that or they'd have bombed it otherwise.

Ukraine is ‘defending all of us’ from Putin - Timothy Snyder Interview

A very good explanation I thought, David. Zelensky has been brilliant in his determination to keep that mongrel from taking over his country.

It's the cyber attack that Putin's got in mind that bothers me ( security services comment ) so I'm hoping they're up to speed on this as an attack would crash all services here in the West.

He argues that Russia is inventing stuff about its neighbour, in order to provide a (false) pretext to justify invasion.  How is that any different that falsely stating Iraq had weapons of mass destruction as a pretext to invade Iraq?

There is no difference.  At best, Russia probably wants a neutral Ukrainian state separate from NATO.  At worst Russia wants a puppet Ukrainian state.

The USA probably approved which candidate should take over the running of Iraq.  That candidate would need to be a lot more pro USA than Saddam Hussein was. 

If Ukraine are protecting us all from Russia, then who is going protect any other states from the USA?
