Ukraine

Would you rather he stayed in the UK and didn’t do anything?

He has a track record of making things worse when he opens his mouth, so I don't really see what good he's going to do! Especially as they're still trying not to let Ukranian refugees into the UK without lots of faff.

He is ,even if we don’t like it, the leader of a major nation,he cannot be told to stay at home because he is a bit tactless at times

Tactless? Oh dear, if that was his only failing we'd be in great shape.
And that Truss woman is no better. Her efforts earlier are thought to be what caused Putin to up the ante with Nuclear readiness.

@Hotrodder you seem to have become a victim of Kremlin diversion/misinformation. At no stage did Truss (for whom I have very little regard) suggest that the UK/NATO were going to use nuclear weapons against Russia.

There’s a bit of a Twitter rumour about it

Is fairly useless and her use of language leaves a lot to be desired. e.g. " Putin and his cronies" might have been better put as " Putin and his associates/inner circle.

Putin is like a child - never his fault - "a big boy made me do it" - or in this case "Truss made me say it".

All I can think of is the saying "loose tongues cost lives"

Bit unfortunate that coverage of bojo's "speech" on Sky News looked like the gremlins (not the kremlins) had got to the camera quality. Just a point of note, not once did bojo properly condemn putin's actions.....

[Pathca]

He's typical of the old style communists from Soviet days, surrounded by people of like mind. He's one of the richest men in Russia with the power and money to quell any opposition. I doubt mental or physical illness have anything to do with his actions - he seems no different from any other dictator - greedy for power and money which are unpleasant human characteristics.

I agree,don’t think it’s fair to assume Putin is mentally ill ,plenty of evil people would be clinically ‘sane ‘ they just have different priorities to the majority of people
