It is a bit dramatic Cherie, Russia have struggled more than they thought to even take Ukraine, there's literally zero chance of them staging an effective invasion of Europe let alone the UK (the hardest part of Europe to invade).

Unless you're talking about nukes but we're obviously nowhere near that sort of worry yet. The important thing to remember on that front is that despite what the tabloids say... Putin is not insane. Power hungry and without conscience, maybe, but he hasn't "gone mad", its a completely false narrative.

I don't think he is mad either or ill, but he has seen how a virus can bring Western economies to their knees, who is to say he wont release one of those

unfortunately, i rate your position as somewhat optimistic. Nukes and other devastating ordinance could easily come into play from russia. Nukes are not the only catastrophic weapons they have available

The point is that using them on the UK or any EU country would essentially be a Russian murder-suicide of the entire planet. He can't survive it and Russia can't survive it, so the only scenarios where he does it, are ones where he has nothing left to lose OR if he was indeed insane.

Putin isn’t power hungry but has invaded Ukraine to get power over Crimea? Right

Depends really. If the migrants from the middle east bring their culture with them, it won't be long until there's an ISIS here too.

Though you were probably referring to nuclear war

Depending on who you ask he's either insane or cunning, conniving or impulsive, sick and dying or just power hungry, or the latest in the long line of Literally Hitlers I'm not sure how much time he's spent planning all this, but I'm still not sure if it'll be over soonish, create a new "crappy status quo" that drags on for ages and doesn't really touch us, or if it will end us all...
