Russia would be stooopid to attack UK. But Putin was stooopid enough to think invading Ukraine would be a cakewalk too.
Having said that, I think they are bluffing. Though big time consequences if they are not. Glad I'm not the one making these decisions.
That’s awesome.
I haven’t been able to ride as much lately as I would like. Due to work and family stuff going on. But hope to get out more now that fall is on the way.
Not sure what page 1 you are reading, but most everyone at the time predicted it would be over quick as Russia would overwhelm Ukraine and take control of Kiev in a matter of days / weeks.
They do... You see Finland, Sewden, Latvia, Estonia at the top of the list of % aide per GDP. Though US tops the list of total aide.

Pretty interesting interview with Wolfgang Van Halen.
For Wolfgang Van Halen, learning the drums, guitar and bass came easier than learning to deal with the trolling and resentment he faced for being the son of Eddie Van Halen. Wolfgang tells Marc how touring as part of Van Halen taught him...
OK, yeah you're right. Russia advanced to within miles of Kiev, and then just decided to turn around because Putin never wanted to take over Ukraine in the first place.
He could not just taken “that country if he went on an all out offensive”. Because he tried that in the first few weeks of the war and got spanked when he tried to take Kiev.
It’s no secret that Putin’s dream is to rebuild Russia to the borders of the USSR. Which includes some NATO countries.
How much money did we spend in Iraq when we were told Saddam had WMDs that were never found?
