Portugal might just be thinking. They will need to go over no fly zones to reach us and if they go the long way round, once they fly over us they will be in no fly zones.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Maybe a few young uns playing those games grown up and joins the military.
What kind of clown army is this.
Seems these guys are just not very well trained, nor are they interested in fighting a war they don't care about. They'd rather be home on their smartphones, endlessly scrolling on social media, which is probably what they were doing just in the months leading up to this.

Russia has completely failed in their logistical planning for this operation. You love to see it.
Switzerland will have to comply with all international regulations regarding money laundering, corruption etc. If pressed hard enough they will disclose all the information requested.
I see Troopz even made it to Kyiv.
Correct
The problem with Putin's Nuclear bluster (that he was always going to resort to) is how good clickbait is it for western media, it automatically gets amplified far and wide.
I wouldn't give it the time of day personally.

I think it is more than likely a bully boy tactic because of his desperation, a fairly predictable one at that. With that said it is still absolutely terrifying to even hear him start referencing the possibility.
If anyone is going to start Nato vs Russia, it's them mad feckers. They shot a russian jet down couple of years ago for violating their airspace, if they say it's closed, it's closed.
The closest I can compare this invasion to is if American conscripts were sent in the middle of the night to invade Canada.
There are so, so many ties between Ukraine and Russia, it's literally like attacking a family member.
Even if these guys didn't do it on purpose, they basically feel at home and it's not that strange that they think they'll get help. It's cognitive dissonance at a crazy level but it's not they surprising.
Not saying you’re wrong and certainly hope you’re not of course.
Genuine question - what gives you that confidence? Is it simply a case of “everyone loses” so why would anyone be that stupid?
This +1
The firm belief that even if Putin went insane, his generals and people in commant did not
Where would Putin aim his nukes?
He's got enough aimed already at Western Europe and the US, I think
Is there a chance of that genuinely? A lot of very rich people close to him must be looking on now and thinking "I don't want to lose everything I've got here".
I know Russia has 6500 war heads, but how could they actually launch at once?
Let's hope so! I've got to admit, all of this is really worrying me
Honestly think there’s a chance of a staged assassination from a “suspected” Ukrainian etc where everybody knows but they don’t know
Whatever happens next, stay safe @harms
The thing is Putin spreads himself thin by doing that. No doubt it would cause massive devestation but the combined nukes of Western Europe and the US would obliterate Russia no matter how big it is.
What would be left however is an uninhabitable world. How much room is there on Musk and Bezos' escape vessels?
I have been saying this for ages, that mods should put a halt to everything that comes from Russian side. They should get zero field in this informational warfare.
Probably tactical nukes to begin with (which could b as small as starting from less than 1kT to 100kT or circa 5 times as large as Nagasaki’s one), but that would escalate quickly to a full nuclear war.
It becomes evident why they shot that jet down now.
It is definitely this but yeah it's still a terrifying thought. It's meant as a display of strength rather than an actual threat.
it doesn't mean he's planning to launch nukes but it's an uncomfortable reminder that he or someone always could.
And there's a lot of escalation to come yet. They haven't even started on Kyiv yet really and half the world is sending weapons into the area
Agreed. So now that he mentioned it, Russia will be surrounded by NATO nukes in a fairly short time.
All well and good but what do you feel about your username being an anagram of Putin?
Its time America sends Big Boss to Russia. Drop him in Siberia and he'll make it to Kremlin easily.
