So I presume all the people / businesses on the border where the Russians are camped have moved well away ??

I’m imagining a 20 mile deserted radius around the Russians

Most of the troop build up is concentrated on the border of areas which are already effectively under Russian control or have been in a state of conflict for years so the threat is not really a new one. If you've remained in place throughout the conflict then you're unlikely to leave now I think

Maybe if you're in the north of the country the threat is now increased as that was previously pretty safe but Russia could now invade from Belarus but it's still a massive call to make to uproot everything based on something that might happen if you've got nowhere to go and you're not sure when you'd ever return

Russia are just keeping everyone on the hop, trying to break up the universal condemnation they are facing from western governments. It's an obvious ploy. Half the german government support russia, hence why this was announced when the german leader was visiting. It's not rocket science. People forget very quickly that half of germany was part of russia and still support them massively

Russia's best bud China is hosting the whole world at the Winter Olympics... And allowing a Russian skater continue to compete despite the fact she failed a drugs test. The Russians are already competing under an ROC flag because of The country's acceptance of drugs and cheating. If kicks off in Ukraine Russia's biggest, scariest mate, China will be backing them.

for the moment yes, but that is why they made sure of a top 25 advance to the next round instead of usual top 24, in case Vallieva has to pull out after all, but for the time being no statement was made so she was able to take part in the first round

A Russian plus China tag-team doesn’t sound tooooo good tbh

if Russians are such cowards, then now is the time that Ukrainians have to invade Russia with help from USA and UK troops and drone strikes

Hopefully the end result will be that nobody gets invaded.

And tbh what does Russia expect to achieve, yes they have China and Belarus as allies, but do they really expect to beat USA, UK, Japan, France, Australia, Ukraine and Germany would have to join our side because of having more allies on our side than trying to maintain a decent relationship with Russia.

Basically they'd be causing havoc just to end up getting slaughtered, hopefully they can see this too.
