I see Vlad the Nuker is telling the west that he can use nuclear weapons if he wants to. Nothing quite like a desperate individual with his finger on the button.

He must though be quite pleased with himself, what with all the blame game going on here in the UK. On the Beeb's HYS yesterday the posters were getting in quite a state over the alleged links between the government and the oligarchs.

Impressive. At a time when we should be standing together the arguing between some sections of society is quite worrying.

It’s those who advocate a no fly zone over Ukraine that worry me more.

See sleepy Joe has opened his mouth without putting his brain into gear and gone off script. (No change there).

Not quite sure who the bigger danger is; someone who doesn't think before he speaks or someone who speaks what he thinks.

Once again. God help us.

No I don't agree. He said Putin has to go. Who would quarrel with that? He's honest. He's experienced, particularly in foreign affairs - unlike his predecessor who is heavily in debt to Russian banks. He has committed practical aid to Ukraine and NATO. Don't think much more can be done at present short of invading Russia.

Some of those Russian shells and missiles have landed perilously close to the Polish border.My worry is what the response will be if one 'accidentally' strays.It's quite possible with that amount of munitions being fired off.

Wouldn't take much. A mistake from one side or the other and Boooooom.

NATO blames Russia and Russia blames NATO. We all suffer the consequences.

If it did happen the Russians would certainly never admit it. Probably say the Ukrainians did it to provoke NATO into doing something.

He's saying what everybody thinks but probably not a good move when you're the president of the USA!
