Russian invasion of Ukraine

Again, you can't believe all the quotes and who knows what will really transpire, but this article claims the rouble may stabilise for a little while as the central bank in Russia forces gazprom and the like to sell off currency.

I wonder who the mysterious other backers of the rouble are? Oligarch back channels?

 
always been the Russian plan has that - they always have the numbers
Yep always had the men to lose 1939 in Finland they lost thousands without blinking an eye, millions when the Germans invaded mainly due to inept tactics losses in men could always be made good because of size of population.
 
I do think looking at the news we are in war crimes territory now - Putin needs to forget geo-political ambitions and look to getting out of Ukraine on the understanding he won't be whipped off to the Hague

when I read the post the first thing that came to mind was Enemy at the Gates - not everyone had a rifle ffs - just charge and take a weapon off the dead if you don't have one - at least in WW1 we did arm our lads before they went over the top
