Would russian nukes reach england? As some of Putins armaments on telly don't look as advanced as we'd been led to believe.
And if they could reach here, where would be his main targets?

I have a view it doesn't really matter where they are targeted. Make a bit of a mess for a few miles round wherever they land.

Could do with some big players, like India, to step up

yes they look pretty useful

What is India’s military strength?

India seems to be modernising its military and its nuclear capabilities keeping an eye on China. India's declared policy is of nuclear deterrence and no first strike. However, the modernisation program, particularly the ballistic missiles program, shows that India is intent on bringing the whole...

I worry that the planned peace talks tomorrow will end in a standoff. Putin will offer the opportunity for Ukraine to surrender and they will decline.
Putin then sees this as giving him license to get meaner in terms of his methods of attack as he offered them a way out.

A lot in the media in how poorly the invasion is going for the Russians (strong defending from the Ukraine, international sanctions etc) but surely the Russians expected most of this?

God, how the world has changed in just a few days.
If this man is backed into a corner and the Russian economy is being destroyed, he will have a lot less to loose and I will be even more worried.

I've said in another thread my view on his plan. He starts a military campaign (soft at first), then offers a very firm olive branch (hence the nuclear rhetoric). Once this is refused he steps up to actual invasion level. May God bless the poor souls of Ukraine and I really hope NATO looks seriously at military options now, before it's too late. This is our chamberlain moment.

If the Russian people revolt to much he will shut down all social media platforms/internet/phones etc to silence them?

Yes, but only the ones known about. The Chinese government hasn't silenced its citizens, although it has made life difficult for them.

Can someone explain why Mr Putin hasn't yet ordered a reduction in gas supplied through the various pipelines. If I recall Russia reduced pressure a few years ago when in an earlier dispute. Just seems strange to me.

Turning off Nord stream 1 would probably be the quickest thing to end this sorry affair.

No expert but I think it depends on the yield of nuke and height of detonation. Certain death is limited to a couple of miles. The next 10 miles or so will suffer damage but many people in that zone would survive the blast though the may wish they hadn’t

God man. Volunteering? Knew there was a use for Upper Tweed valley. But hell what about the importance of retaining peat bogs towards UKs COP26 targets for Carbo sequestration. I am now going to be really troubled and lose sleep.

In the Times comments section earlier in the day a wag said in response to nuclear strike they were going to camp in local Waitrose as surely that would be safe!!

Think I am a little to close to Waddington, Coningsby and Marham to get off lightly!

What callus madman launches a soft invasion allowing the loss of hundreds of ones own armoured vehicles and thousands of troops?

Whilst the world watched Russia I do hope someone has an eye on chinas movements

I thought I’d be fine then realised one of the UK’s biggest refineries is 15 mile across the water from me, when they had an explosion there 25 years ago our windows all blew in

according to workers there last week, theyve nearly run out of oil, all storage tanks empty, waiting a shipload in, just bought at spot price, will take week to restart cracker, doesnt sound like very good planning
