I think if Putin was going to invade, he would have done it by now? He has flexed his muscles in order to test the West and got the reaction he was looking for, that in reality there is little they can do except posture and issue pointless weak warnings that will have little or no effect. Does he really want to enter a conflict of his own making with an invasion which would be resisted by the Ukraine, unwelcome by his own people and even if he won quickly would continue as a conflict for many years to come. He has made his point which is to threaten his neighbour about joining NATO and NATO about accepting them. If you were Putin would you want a NATO allies on you border and it is a very large border!
Johnson swans around making out he is this important international leader, when in fact we all know, as does the rest of the world, that he is an joke, with all the importance of a wet paper bag! He is a joke at home and and an even bigger one abroad. I urge you to watch John Bercow assessment of him on Sky’s The Great Debate. I could not have put it better myself. I should have been on that programme but was unable to take part as a member of the Zoom audience.
Stay well
