Bronwyn,

These threats you speak of are clearly imaginary or fabricated. The west and US have been pouring investment into Russia. There has never been any indication that NATO planned to attack Russia.

The invasion of Ukraine is entirely unprovoked and unjustified. Putin has made the biggest blunder of his life and started a war that Russia cannot win and that will degrade Russia into a 3rd world economy and army.

Bronwyn,

The numerous war crimes of Russia are well documented. That the Russian army is being smashed is a blessing.

I begin to wonder whether this is what Putin wanted all along - to destroy his own army because it became too much of a political threat. Is this why he almost wouldn't use his air-force?
