Russian invasion of Ukraine

Wouldn't worry not like we'd be stupid enough to write on the bombs, 'Made in Britain.'

We hope.

Haha in Boris’s Britain they’ll all be covered in Union Jacks, blasting out God Save the Queen and with a massive brass plaque saying ‘Made in ENGLAND’.

The Russians are firing missiles from it (so they can’t be taken out).

That's what I heard from my son, just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

I think the point he is making is that R-M had inside knowledge and was able to take advantage of that and dumped his shares. I thought this was ‘insider trading’ and is illegal?

There have been rumours for days this was gonna happen.

If I had money in a Russian bank it would have come out the day they invaded.

He didn’t have to be mystic Meg or being doing insider trading.

Like everything in life nowadays, it is relentless this now isn’t it, At least back in the Cold War, no one knew what was going on other then the spies and the leaders. Now it’s 24 hr news, Panorama specials, Twitter this, twitter that, Facebook this etc etc. You don’t know what to believe there is that much of it on TV and social media.

I remember living under fear of nuclear attack but you’d just read something once a day or see something once a day.

I don’t think anyone knew the true extent of how close the world came during the Cuban Crisis.

Nowadays you’ve got instant access to every single development and it makes for more nervous reading.

Not sure what has happened here, but I didn't write that post? Mackenzie did, lol

Well technically the Russians are responsible beings they are there uninvited like.

If true, I wonder from where they would operate:

I was trying to work this out yesterday as well and found this link which gives a few suggestions in the last paragraph.

Insider trading is. But things that are in the public domain don’t constitute insider trading. It was pretty well known that the Russians had 200k troops on the border and that the west was threatening sanctions.
