tough fucking shit - they knew who and what they were getting into bed with - anything that reduces the number or arse licking yes men around him is a good thing - he will find it strangely harder to promote others in their place as they probably don't fancy the same fate - he will run out of military leaders in the field too

Early on it was reported the war was costing Russia €20Bn a day - and that was before we realised how heavy their losses were and before they had to move people from all over the world to come back and fight.

So while €17.4Bn is an abhorrent number, it’s not financing the war which is nearing €500Bn in costs for Russia.

Not to mention the cost of sanctions that those countries did help enforce.

Nord Stream 1 has been pumping gas for 10 years




'As mentioned at the beginning of this article the policy literature about Nord Stream generally presents the project as uneconomic and concludes it is more part of Russia’s foreign policy than Gazprom’s business strategy'

It should be Russia as that’s part of the political calculus. However, Ukraine will have many benefactors following this if they come through and will be iron clad moving forward.

Unleash the full force of our cyber, fires, air and air defence on them but, please God, don’t expect too much from our Challenger, Warrior and 60’s built Bulldog fleet. We’d have to transport them just to sit in the battle.

Germany and in particular Merkel are going to come out of this severely tainted. Might prompt a complete change in attitudes.
