[HelloCity]

Maybe just mind games from the Ukrainian side?

Boris about to tell us the next lot of sanctions in the commons.

Is he gonna suggest we build a wall around Russia?

Full asset freeze on VTB, fucking yes!!! Great news

When you capture an entire platoon (30-50 people), you don’t take a photo of 1 man.

Can't fault him so far.

This lecture from the University of Chicago, filmed in 2016.

02:04-45:45



Once you watch it, you will understand what is happening and what is going to happen.

He literally says around 10:30, “This of course is not the conventional wisdom of the United States, and in fact, except for Steve Cohen… Henry Kissinger and maybe a handful of other people, there are not many people who agree with me!”

Nope, should have done this first but they’ve acted properly now

If he actually does what he says that is a decent package of measures

Telling there about SWIFT, that we need consensus which we don’t have. Anyway completely removing banks from UK financial system is almost as good from our point of view.

I’ve just received a like in the “half rice, half chips” thread. We’re on the brink of nuclear war and people are commenting on the validity of half rice, half chips. Proud to be British!

So do we all abandon every day life, build a bunker in our back garden and just watch sky news all day ?

Agreed. Stronger than I thought he would, let's hope they carry it out.

He's connected to (friends?) with the Oligarch, Lebedev, so I'm suspicious.

Needs to also stop the lobbying (bribing) of Conservative politicians by people linked to Russia. Needs to ban the group Conservative friends of Russia.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

can only think Russia attacked before Ukraine joins Nato, which means it would be a different ball game altogether if they tried taking Ukraine

Ukraine couldn't have joined NATO unless they had recaptured the Donbass region from the separatists and resolved the dispute.

States with territorial disputes cannot join NATO.

Can’t send it back now ;) would be a good bit of PR to donate it to charity though
