Russian invasion of Ukraine

Kevin Costner had those ears in Waterworld. Just saying, as you were.

Are you suggesting James Mattis is one of the lizard people?

Russia suspended from the UN for human rights. Funny how the original communist states voted against

It’s a shame they can’t be suspended from the UN outright. But, still, a positive move all round.

.....and not of them is in anybodies top ten holiday destinations either. ( maybe China ;)

What actual impact does this have on Russia

Simply because it’s getting his approval ratings up in France.

It was at first. Latest figures show LePen hard on his heels. Another Trump?

The Once it’s in the system I hen it may well have been.

If you give me a tenner and I spend £8 that day on a bottle of cheap Cab Sav, it doesn’t matter if I used that exact ten pound note or not, I can rationalise the fact you bought me the bottle.

£8 cheap Cab Sav. You posh fucker

Surprised to see Hungary voting in favour, considering the mood music coming from there, recently.

State of this little weasel. Needs capturing and dropping into Mariupol....

He is one of the undead.

The UN is just an expensive talking shop where evil regimes get to display their faux legitimacy.
Its where Dictators get to buddy up with other Dictators after a free lunch and a fine bottle of wine.

Just caught a bit of the UN session, how the fuck Syria & Iran have membership to a human rights council is a perfect illustration of how ineffective the organisation is.

They are voted on to it. A fair number of dodgy states get together behind non western states to keep the latter from asking awkward questions.

Serious question; what is it with all the African countries abstaining or voting against? Too much Russian ‘investment’?

Pretty much I would have thought, Africa, corruption, Money. Seem to go together.

It's a sad state of affairs that almost half 'the world' won't effectively say Fuck Off to Russia.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I like the fact you classify a cheap bottle of Cab Sav at eight quid.

Wouldn't cook with it.

The answer is securing their grain supplies.

Yep. Russia has cosied up to them in recent years building infrastructure in return for rare earths and other minerals etc. The terms of some of these deals mean that Russia has them by the sort and curlies.

Yes along with their friends China.

Or source fossil fuel elsewhere. Don't cripple businesses and families with "green taxes" to disguise a procurement f*ck up.

If you rely on another country to source your energy, then you are always vulnerable to pressure. The obvious solution is to remove or lessen reliance on fossil fuels. As I said, no one is invading anyone for their wind farms.
