There was never anything other than the elimination of Ukraine on his agenda. When the leader of a sovereign state stands up and declares another sovereign has no right to exist, then follows it up with an invasion of the enemy's territory, there is only one possible way to interpret the intent. Couple that with Putin's reading of the Russian poet who stated that Russia must never lose the Ukraine, and if there is a danger of it happening then it must be brought back into the fold by whatever means are necessary, then I fail to see what ambiguity there is in his actions. I just hope that the west is thinking coherently enough to realise that if he goes through Ukraine, then he will also feel compelled to come to the aid of the Transnistran enclave in Moldova. Securing a safe corridor to Kaliningrad anyone? In his ideal world, Russian control would be as in the Cold War. The only way to stop this is to give Ukraine sufficient arms to enable them to force the Russians out and stick with them for the long term if we are not prepared to put boots on the ground. We need to stop clutching at straws in the hope that he will be satisfied with territory gained and stop because dictators always want to expand their control. The hope that he might be toppled internally will take time that Ukraine doesn't have.

You'll have to ask the person who wrote the post from where I found it that question, as stated, I didn't write it, I just copied and pasted it.

You could maybe send it to PMG or the equivalent body for grading and authenticity, at least it will give you peace of mind whether its real or not as its probably outside the realms of most of our knowledge here.

The lateral flow test positivity depends on viral load, which declines gradually. My wife tested negative today, 10 days after first positive. But risk of transmission declines sooner, and is usually negligible after 5-7 days. I hope to be fit for Pub and BEER come the weekend. Jerry

The other odd thing was the lateral flow test. The second "covid" line doesn't just disappear overnight, it gradually fades over a period of about 7 days. I was testing myself daily to see whether or not I was fit to return for my two days a week in the office, or just continue working from home full time. In the end I went back after 4 weeks, even though I felt a lot better after about 10 days. I agree with you about Nicola Sturgeon. She obviously just forgot in the immediacy of the moment, and then remembered. Human error.

I mentioned at the end of the post that it came from elsewhere, it also says Rishi Sunak' wife at the beginning, there was no mention of a third party integrated into the marriage. Also, you mention that Labour would have made mistakes, but that's theory only as they weren't in power during the lockdown. How do we account for the billions to friends of MPs paying for PPE at hyper inflated prices at the expense of the taxpayer? Also Boris' lies about the 25 parties he held while everyone else had to stay away from their loved ones during their dying days?
