Today just a casual ballistic missile, hypersonic missile, and cruise missile test to demonstrate Russian nuclear forces. It's the sort of thing you do when you've got extreme tensions and a mere 150,000 to 190,000 troops on your neighbours border

Are You Kranian?
Maybe its time for a "nuclear defence test"? My personal recommendation is to fill lots of containers with water, and prepare to turn your window cavity and wheelie bin into dirt filled shields to stop the radiation coming in. Don't forget the threat from above, you will be wanting to have bags of dirty or other dense substances above the area you are hiding in.

Essential items to stockpile:
1. Toilet paper
2. Baking powder
3. Playstation 5's and graphics cards
4. Microprocessors and microcontrollers
5. Beer
6. Milk. Some to drink, some to watch go off
7. Solar panels to charge your phone, and porn so you have something to use your phone for
8. Pasta
9. More beer

All the sabre rattling, rhetoric , and posturing from the West will mean nothing.
If Putin/Russia want to roll into the Ukraine they will and the West won’t be able to do anything about it.
I’ll bet my last dollar that IF Russia wanted to, they could double or triple the number of troops they have there at the moment.

The West with all its separate/broken states and factions would have to be incredibly stupid to pick a fight with Russia.

Look into modern history.
WW2 = Germany and the axis forces swept into Russia and were repelled by the sheer numbers and size of Russia.
Napoleon and his combined armies couldn’t defeat Russia.

The West has to many different interests from to many different places to be united or co-ordinated to be of any significance.

With reference to the Cuban missile crisis, what did the US do when the Ruskies stuck a load of missiles on their doorstep?.... and a few years later what did they do to Grenada when they got too pally with the Ruskies...

Well, the Ruskies feel exactly the same way when the US/big business/elites payed millions in slush funds to cause shite in the countries surrounding the Ruskies neighbourhood, then low and behold the US want to offer them a sweet (for the US anyway) deal to make everything go away.

This senario is played out all over the world not just by the US, but by most of the western worlds governments, businesses and elites. Putin doesn't want US missiles on his doorstep, and if it looks like the current government of Ukraine are sidling up the the US, IMO, there's a pretty high probability Putin will go in, just to stop the US planting more weapons on his doorstep..

Unlike Brandon, Putin is NOT stupid, but we all know Biden isn't running the show, so it'll be chinky interests.

In WW2, the advantage of Russia's vast size meant a huge hinterland they could withdraw war industry into out of reach of the Germans. Also, once they were assured that Japan would not attack their eastern borders, they could free up large forces from there to bring to bear on the western enemy.

But the Russian campaign was where Hitler first started to show that he wasn't actually a military genius, when he stopped listening to his military commanders.

Of course we hear very little about these charmers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion we can only assume President Biden is a fan.

Would I be right in saying that the pro-Russian part of the Ukraine borders Russia? If so, let Putin have that, the rest can be whatever it wants; independent, pro-western, whatever. Or is the argument then going to be over location of resources?

I think I'm right in saying that all the countries under Soviet influence prior to the end of the Cold War had a sizeable influx of Russian settlers. Obviously a bit more meaningful at the border than say Cuba

Anyway, ethnic cleansing is definitely a European hobby. This article on WW2 Germans seems appropriate:

Maybe kicking all the Ruskies out after Ukraine independence might have headed off this affair. Anyone got a time machine?
