According to the daily Mail Russia will invade Ukraine on Wednesday. Not sure why they would leave it four days and notify the British press of their intention lol

Let’s face it, no one unfortunately has the ability to stop them or China taking over what they want without the use/threat of nuclear weapons
As a former soldier myself, I’m ashamed of how pitiful our own armed forces have become. I doubt we could even hold the Falklands or Gibraltar if it actually came to it.
Russia laugh at us and only thing we have going is that the PM had a Russian name. Expect them to take over Ukraine with no resistance and talks of restrictions are laughable when communist countries supply the world with goods and gas/oil etc.
Many years the threat of World War 3 has been on the back burner however when we along with allies are totally inferior to the Enemy then it only takes one Dictator to take their chance.
Our 1000 troops sent to Poland might as well be managing checkpoints as 1 to 150 ratio is only something that Rambo can deal with.
Our only grace is that we are an Island so hopefully with our own messes up economy, lack of absolutely anything of value, no mining. Infrastructure to take etc, then Putin would disregard the UK as not worthy of attacking. Boris is no Churchill and even then , surely Dunkirk was enough of a failure.
Market reaction… who knows as my opinion is a lot of empty threats will come from NATO but no of them will want to try to stop Russia from expanding
