Russian invasion of Ukraine

There’s always ways out. Don’t underestimate the impact of the sanctions both on normal Russian people and the oligarchs, they won’t want a return to the nineties.

If they eventually take Ukraine (which is more than likely still), it will be at huge cost and will require significant investment to even try and keep order. Trying to do that whilst trying to maintain public opinion at home when they’re having to suffer as a consequence is going to be nigh on impossible.

As is his right.

That thread is mirrored on several threads on here. It’s an echo chamber of abuse, politically biased with literally nothing new being said. Now don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean some of it isn’t true, it most definitely is but it isn’t new and to highlight a man saving his own money by pulling it before sanctions hit isn’t exactly a revelation and nor is it behaviour 100% of us of right mind wouldn’t do ourselves.

This thread is about Putin and his murderous attack on Ukraine and most of us are in it to discuss that and hear news about it. The financial history of Rees Mogg is not relevant imo but there are loads of threads in the political forum where it most definitely is and I’m certain you would find a far more receptive audience to your revelations in them.

Something you obviously crave and demand given your outburst ;-)

It's like being in a club and the tension is building. There have been a couple of skirmishes and posturing. Some people think it's under control but you just know at any minute the whole club is going to go up. It's on a crazy downward spiral nobody can stop. That's the world right now.

Yep.

I mean all this shit was going on all the time, same as today, its just we weren't as exposed to it all.
Some cases that's a good thing, we're more informed. Other cases it's bad because there are so many of these unverified "sources" it's hard to tell what's truth and what isn't.

So do what I do, stick Disney+ on and be ignorant to everything!

Nothing comes close to the carnage in Iceland when they were dragging toilet rolls and milk off the shelves when lockdown first began though
