[11:17] <zxmpi_> who didn't see that coming
[11:22] <diddledani> putin apparently didn't - he was adamant it wasn't gonna happen
[11:26] <diddledani> you gotta be pretty oblivious when you don't realise that your plans that you planned in detail are progressing as you planned
[11:36] <davef> Just as the world is getting over covid, Russia is attempting to start WW3.
[11:38] <davef> I have colleagues in Kyiv, I really hope they're staying safe.
[11:38] <diddledani> 🤗
[11:43] <diddledani> my biggest fear is that putin might get red-button-happy and start firing nooks
[11:45] <diddledani> he's alluded to any interference in the Ukraine by other western nations would be met with a force you're never experienced before (paraphrase) which seems to be a veiled "I'ma nuke your ass" thread
[11:45] <diddledani> threat*
[11:47] <davef> I don't think he will, Ukraine is too close to his turf. 
[11:47] <davef> But if any one country launches nukes, you can kiss the world as we know it good-bye
