Johnson is still not putting in place any further sanctions against Russia, despite the news from Russia this evening. He is incapable of taking action at the right time just like at the start of the pandemic.

Also..big question for what Germany does...

 There's no let up...go from Brexit shite straight to covid shite and then just as covid ends we have a war in Europe to worry about.

Maybe they'll actually do something about that dirty russian money being washed in the London property market.

I do love a good laugh before bed.

Definitely no way Boris gets kicked out now.

It feels like we’ve been hearing that ‘x country’ will impose sanctions on Russia for ages now, just get on and do it if you are going too.

they might, that's why they haven't done sanctions before now, there's lots of businesses dependent on that Russian money, and a political party.

Yep, see Vlad went and asked a few weeks ago what he was allowed to do and what backing he would get, so sanctions will not bite as much Wonder if a build up around Taiwan will be seen while the west is distracted. Maybe a bit early

All quiet on the eastern front? What happens now..skirmishes at these new borders which spills over into an all out war and then invasion? Is Germany really going to stop buying Russian gas? Is UK going to do something about all that Russian oligarch money in UK economy? If sanctions happen, does that also push up energy prices even further?

In the end the west may just look on and watch Russia invade Ukraine and impose it's own kremlin friendly govt, and that will be the new status quo...for now.

its going nowhere, cos Ukraine wouldn't be admitted to NATO under normal rules (no existing conflicts), so nato has cooked up a defacto membership, countries won't dive in to defend Ukraine.
