What say ye, red?
I could have written that post myself.

Agree 100%.

One of my best ever Brit mates has been away since before lockdown in various places. He came down for Sun/Mon.

He said he thought it was gonna be war. I said no. The Russian media aren't even talking about it, whereas before Crimea in '14, they were all banging on non-stop about a crucified Russian baby. I said he's just trying to show Ukr that the west is too divided to support them.

On Monday, the Ukrainians said we'll put the Nato application on hold and then Putin said he'll start withdrawing.

I said "Look, aren't I clever? I was right."

My mate went "Fair play, you know your shît."

I was smug.

Don't feel so smug now.

So like you, dunno. Confused. Thought I got it but I don't.

{Been to Ukraine so I really don't want this to kick off. Esp as my mates are in Chernigiv near where Belarus, Rus and Ukr meet.}
