What worries me more is the TU95 bomber with a BBC call sign on it's tail. Is this their new way of targeting anyone without a TV license? :-\

BBC is the abbreviation for the Russian phrase for air force

. . . the real refutation of the diatribe will be after the fact: unless Ukraine does something really stupid, Russia is not going to annexe chunks of it. Then, no doubt, the same interventionist cheerleaders who are now pouring scorn on 'our' pathetic response to "Putin's thuggery" will without shadow of a doubt switch their articles to how-our-robust-response-stared-down-the-evil-empire-and-saved-Ukraine.
Well, 100% right so far (that was 9th April).Russia has all the 'pretext' it was accused of wanting, although that was always a red herring - it could have created it at any time in the past few years, and - anyway - those that would object to the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine would object to the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine whatever the circumstances.
But now it is getting dangerous . . . Putin's main objective has always been to remain popular at home - thus pushback to the EU/US pissing in his backyard by encouraging regime change in Ukraine, using that to reverse a decision Russia has won by political means, was inevitable. Now the mood of the Russian people is staring to wobble as they see on their televisions footage that we don't see much on ours - unarmed Russian speakers confronting Ukrainian armoured vehicles, funerals, and men and women lying dead in the street. Once "why isn't our government helping these poor people resist fascism?" becomes a popular sentiment, heard on the Metro and in bars, then Russian military intervention and a unilateral peacekeeping mission is inevitable.
Ergo, we really really need to stop encouraging the regime in Kiev to "re-establish its authority" by military means, and negotiate, pdq . . .

Correct again.
