While Putin has his hand on the tap to turn of the gas certain big counties(Germany) will do next to nowt.

I don’t know Germanys figures but we get less then 5% of our gas from Russia.

 

[Cheesy]

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Time for Boris and other western states to stop waving their Poundland plastic sanctions and actually impose some real ones.

Johnson wont as the Russians fund the Tory Party.

Oh fuck

“De-NAZI-flying Ukraine” is what Putin has told the Russian people, and the missiles start flying and the tanks and missiles batteries are pouring into Ukraine.

So, nothing to see here….

Energy markets spiking
Euro NatGas > 30% incr
Oil > $100/bbl
Asian Markets down 2-3%
Euro futures down 3-5%
US futures down 2.5-3.5%

…as a start!

Yep your right on us Germany around 34% according to this.

How dependent is Germany on Russian gas?

Russian forces invaded Ukraine on Thursday, sending European gas prices higher and increasing the focus on gas supply in countries including Germany, which is Europe's largest economy and imports most of the gas it consumes.

A lot of talk about how the West needs to do more and rightly so. But China could hold the key here, they need to step up and cut off Russia which would be a game changer.

Chinas foriegn policy is non interference unless it encroaches their border.

They will condem russia actions and privately tell Putin to not overstep, but ultimately won't get involved, India the next largest power after these two in Asia will do the same.

More likely they will move on Taiwan while we are all looking the other way.

If they move on Taiwan, we can all start to enjoy our last days.

Ukraine for America is one thing, but from a strategic point of view, nothing on the scale of China making a move.

tbf the Azov battalion are known to be neo nazis or have strong links, and as seen now he is using that as an excuse.

Extremely piss weak excuse only a madman would use mind.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

You can always rely on Italy when they call for sanctions that don't include against energy!

Perhaps Oliver Stone can go back and interview his misunderstood mate, Putin?

Our bluff has been called and we have got nothing, because we telegraphed it well beforehand.

 

[Blue Maverick]

He has just threatened to obliterate the world if anyone interferes, so we will sit back, condem the invasion but do little else but offer aid and more sanctions.

Unfortunately Ukraine has only 2 options atm
Fight to the end and see tens of thousands die
Or offer pece, the present government step down and a belarusian style puppet one takes over, ensuring independence but puppet rule and fielty

If they do the latter then we cut off Russia forever until Putin is replaced and they withdraw.

They’ve actually just called US “immoral,” so I’m not sure Xi will say a word about Putin or Ukraine. Why would he, it’s not like Chinese media is going to get an “exclusive interview!”

 

[mancityvstoke]

So we are letting them take it basically .

Disgusting and those poor people who were free and now are not

This fucker won’t stop

Asia will be where Russia will transfer its activities affected by the sanctions currently imposed, so Asia will do nothing. We need sanctions that cannot be compensated for elsewhere. A complete ban on flights in and out of Russia and client states, a ban on the nationals from said countries entering those countries supporting the Ukrainian position. No goods or technology to be imported or exported that have any Russian connection.

Stop the world...... I'm getting off.....

as of today members of the Russian parliament can no longer book U.K. local authority badminton courts at reduced rates

similarly the 3 for 2 offer on Toblerones in U.K. Duty Free shops will be denied to any member of said parliament

 

[Bill Walker]

This is the same guy whose forces also murdered people on British soil and shot down a passenger jet.

The **** wants taking out.

His face says pure evil

 

[mancityvstoke]

NATO or not we should help them ….. it’s the right thing to do …..
