Russian invasion of Ukraine

I have been on anti-depressants for the last 20 years for generalised anxiety disorder. They saved my life many times and allowed me to function as normal as I could.

You will feel better and better from here.. and if worse comes to worse definitely try others or different dosages. One medication works for one person but maybe not the next, I tweaked mine many times and ended up finding Zoloft worked well for me

Yep, I was diagnosed with GAD a few years back.

every outcome will have been scrutinised by the gov't as to how each one can be used to the advantage of johnson and his band of billionaire backers
Bodycount will not be a major factor. See covid response, See £ billions to donors. In fact just see the bloody history of the party for the rich....
Will russia feel the heat from westminster? LMFAO, the most that happens is
Putin feigns outrage to save his puppet, the msm will join in with "it's the s*n wot won it" type bollox. and the whole shitshow rolls on. Public opinion is what the media says it is, johnson is still their useful idiot and fptp means three more years of lies and misery for all but a handful....first time turkeys have demanded christmas since 1979...wont be the last
If the assault on the NHS, ZHC's, bedroom tax, the pension travesty, the billions handed to cronies, the billions given to billionaire donors, the deaths directly due to the health minister, the ponzi scheme that is the housing market, the relationship with the most corrupt and racist police force in history, and everything else, then nothing will FFS...

Don't know where your figure of 34% is from.The BBC is reporting a figure of 3%..that's for gas, oil is probably far higher as Russia is the second largest exporter of oil.

Russia’s energy footprint in the United Kingdom has been anything but significant – a fitting example is Gazprom Export, which according to its statistics, supplied 16.3 BCm of gas last year to the UK (34 percent of its import volumes), without specifying the origins of the above gas or disclosing whether the volumes in question were physically delivered to Britain or were swapped elsewhere.

^^ Ignore that, it was from an article that referenced Gazprom Export and there was a typo in there that’s been corrected by Gazprom Export by the look of it.

But it’s gas, not oil which Russia is the biggest exporter of, between Russia and Iran they have 41.6% of the worlds known reserves, with Russia 1st at 24.3%.

Anyway, going off topic so I’ll leave that.

Comes to something when Russian propaganda is disseminated by domestic mass media in the US. Anyone who says Trump and his support base aren't bought and paid for by Russia are deluding themselves. There's probably a more balanced view coming out of RT!

Maybe Russia has kompromat on Trump - maybe not.

Trump is a bully - and respects other bullies. Witness his love affair with Kim Jong-Un.

Nonetheless, that a (former) US president somehow bought into Putin's lies is beyond belief... until you take a closer look at Trump. Trump is a lazy, egotistical individual who believes that he's smarter than anyone else. He rejects expert opinion outright - instead going with his gut feeling - however ill-informed.

That a major US broadcast network - Fox News - has gone along with Trump in his love affair with Putin is perhaps much less surprising. Fox values profitability above truth and moreover Fox ownership wants to promote Right-leaning politics.

Absolutely. I’ve been on venlafaxin for 22 years; keeps me on the straight and narrow; took me a while to find the right meds but these do the trick for me. And exercise; I swim every day, normally outdoors and it’s something I’d advise anyone (the exercise, maybe not the outdoor swimming!).

So sanctions against 3 Russians with not much investment here and Banks that won't be that badly affected, meanwhile other Russians that have heavily invested in the UK (and donated to the tories) are left alone.

Pointless

Who said three weeks ago that sanctions will 'come down like a steel trap in the event of the first Russian toe cap crossing into more sovereign Ukranian territory' ?
Was it
a) BoJo?
b) Boris?
c) Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson?

You never know somebody else's situation, mate.

I have suffered from panic attacks and anxiety for a number of years but recently decided to get help from the Doc.

Been put on 50mg daily of Sertraline to try and calm me down/sleep after all the stresses of losing business during Covid.

In to my second week of taking it and a few side effects and little improvement yet, but know I need to stick with it.

An anti-depressant but hoping it ticks a few boxes for me.

Don't suffer in silence mate, I've done CBT and all sorts to try and get through the fog.

My old boss was put on Sertraline (amongst other things) for severe PTSD. He said that by far it was the worst of the drugs for side effects when he first started taking it. It took him a few weeks for him to adapt, and now he's doing okay.

Hopefully it works for you.

I think it’s more to do with where Trump has got his funding from and the leverage that gives them.
Kompromat is of limited use when Trump will deny it’s real and his supporters will believe him.
 
I’m assuming the BBC has managed to interview some of the minority of Eastern Ukrainians who wish to be under Russian rule?

Perhaps this is saying the same thing as you've stated above...

Trump has had a years-long, financially lucrative relationship with Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_projects_of_Donald_Trump_in_Russia#:~:text=Trump subsequently announces a plan,doesn't come to fruition.

This would predispose Trump to believe in Putin. That Putin is a nationalist bully likely increases Trump's respect for Russia.

She was right. Man destroys every everything. And that's because a significant population of the world demand the right to not give a shit about anyone else and to sneer at those who do - right wing politics in a nutshell. Putin, Trump, Johnson...they are all guilty.
