How can this maniac succeed? Almost the whole world is against him, and I'm pretty sure most Russians are.It wouldn't surprise me if someone assassinated him.

Ranting about Russian f**king animals with a British anti tank launcher on his shoulder.He signs off "I swear I'll never speak Russian again.They've just shown it again. I'm not sure if he's brave or just incandescent with anger. Whatever it's impressive, like something out of Apocalypse Now. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.I couldn't believe what I was watching when I saw this guy .I'm going with brave and highly motivated and prepared to die to defend his country .Has anyone got a link to this. I don’t have sky tv.Tried finding it on YouTube Hound but it's not listed for some reason .Don't know why .Yeah, I googled it too and it didn’t come up with anything.Maybe the Russians have blocked it.

I've ran the full range of emotions today - really strange as I have no connection to the Ukraine.I was in tears when saw a live report of all the people signing up and a work chain being formed to make Molotov cocktails..I was angered when I saw the false reports from the Putin pack and the Russian media..and I felt great pride in the united response of the European nations...... and the Russian public. I'm also fast becoming a fan of President Volodymyr Zelensky... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-europe-60539193I felt an overwhelming sense of doom on Thursday and Friday - but today I feel like I'm sitting in my Ukrainian T-shirt and willing them on...I've just given money to the cause, but can't help but feel that I wish I could do more for the people of my now second favourite country....... so very brave and resilient...
It's just mental watching those videos in 2022. Crazy.I do have some sympathy for the Russians fighting. Like any army they're following orders of their government and in many many cases paying the ultimate price.

It's fascinating in that for the very first time the reality of war is being beamed to people's phones almost in real time. I wonder if Putin has failed to grasp the effect that has on public opinion. Not in Russia, where his lackeys are controlling what people can see. But everywhere else.I'm guessing he was counting on a quick win, with Europe and America then accepting the fait accompli and going back to business as usual. But that's not going to happen. There's going to be carnage, street by street in Kviy and Kharkov. And voters in the West are going to see it on their screens. And no democracy is every going to find an accommodation with Putin ever again. f**k his gas.f**k his money.f**k his football teams.f**k him and the cancer he brings to the world.If civilians in Ukraine can stand in front of tanks, and prepare trenches in their own city centres, the least we can do, the absolute least, is to take some economic pain to make sure this evil bas**rd is isolated and forced to shrivel away. And hold to account any domestic politician who so much as breathes a word about business as usual with Russia until he has gone.

I've never known a conflict abroad that has captured so many hearts and minds .I'm personally massively emotionally involved where as in other conflicts I wasn't so .I don't know why but in any case it doesn't much matter .Maybe it's everything that's wrong with this world that's getting played out in Ukraine .Maybe this is a turning point , it fecking should be .
On flight radar at this very moment two Russian military planes, probably carrying airborne troops are fly directly toward Kyiv
Breaking. Russia is being kicked off SWIFT. This is big.
Genuine question lads.Can the average Russian citizen, living in Russia, see from the internet and FaceTime etc, what we can see.Or is there some kind of block in place preventing that.

Those with links abroad too. Those who rely on state TV news and RT are in the dark. There are still a lot of people in Russia who only get information from official sources.
