Ok and let's not talk about the Wuhan lab and....
Do you have a link to that, a chara?
You're retweeting far right (and pro-Putin) Twitter accounts here.
It effects the ordinary people, ok have the pregnancies in Russia get aborted and they have a generation who don't know anything but creature comforts and social media ,
They will be the one's taking to the streets
Putin is over. He's after making the biggest mistake in his life. Yes, many ordinary Russians support him but when the economic sanctions really start to kick in and hyperinflation becomes a reality, they'll change their minds very quickly.
Russians (mainly urbanites) are heading for a world of pain. Most of them don't know it yet.
What's interesting is that Putin is toast. He's done and dusted. There's no coming back for him now. How will he go or be taken out? That's anyone's guest.
I thought it was his mic? Zelenskyy trolling him was excellent
Far from pro Russian.
But I see only two options: peace, no matter how messy, or the west has to get militarily involved. What's happening now is just the slow death of Ukraine for nothing, because it is going to be destroyed the way things are going.
They released an image with a glass teapot but didn't Photoshop the reflection on it
Based on this...until it's cut off
Yeah really ... AFAIK they can use the Budapest memorandum to do it.
NATO bombing the **** out of the Russian Nazis and Putin meeting the same end as Gaddafi sounds good to me.
And then Russia being forcibly broken up and ceasing to exist as a state sounds even better.
That's what needed. Russian nationalism is a malignant cancer in the rectum of humanity.
The currency is effectively worthless, which means inflation will continue to soar so it will affect a lot of people, and like you say they can't buy a load of foreign currency now which is more likely to hold its value. expect hyper inflation to take hold quickly. I think similar happened in the 20s in Germany...you basically needed a wheelbarrow of cash to buy a loaf of bread.
The hostages being forced to stay at the plant and keep it running are not in a nice situation or being well treated, from something I heard yesterday.
Nonsence, they are now paid in bread.
I never realised until this war just how war mongering some Irish people are!
Luckily, NATO isn't going to take your approach.
Not if the fight they put up reduces Russian demands to something Ukraine can live with in security peace and freedom for the next generation.
Accepting a defenceless ally-less status for Ukraine now will be like Munich. Russia will be back for more next time. And it wont be pretty then either when anyone who speaks out against Russia is disappeared, imprisoned or meets an 'accident'.
Western countries are giving all help short of direct intervention. Putin has to choose now between moderating his demands or facing into a new Cold War.
If you think the price isnt worth it then thats your call. But acknowledge you are calling on Zelensky to surrender.
This is a big one : Fitch believes the Russian economy is about to go bust
The 'C' rating reflects Fitch's view that a sovereign default is imminent.

It's not up to you though.
The majority of Ukranians it seems would rather not lose their country to a dictator and are willing to fight for it. The west is clearly involved militarily at this stage (bar troops on the ground and air)...the deal with the migs is upping the ante.
How long do you think peace (whatever that would look like) would last? Ukranians will likely still try to fight back even if under Russian rule. How long before Putin moves on to other countries like Moldova or even Poland?
But you still won't be allowed get BBC in Russia comrade and now that Netflix has been cut off your old lady is probably up on the chimney trying to adjust the coat hanger!
Which also makes me think - how many of these companies are pulling out out of protest against Russia bar it has become unsustainable to operate there when your core costs have doubled making your end product too expensive to buy...
I don't understand the fuss about Ukraine surrending.
Even America offered refuge to the Ukrainian President in the first day or two of the war suggesting America wasn't too bothered if Ukraine surrenders.
The ship is sinking. The Russians just are probably starting to realise who is going to pay the bill for the "peace operation".
I'd say you have a point. Especially the ones who are pausing operations rather than totally pulling out.
EDIT: yeh got there first
What's remotely war mongering about it?
Were those who fought the Nazis war mongers?
The war mongers are those who start the war.
That would be the Russian Nazis, wouldn't it?
Fascinating how many bots we have here pushing the Russian Nazi line.
Unfortunately like it or not we are slowly edging towards WW3 ,the EU and NATO are supplying Ukraine with weapons and real time intelligence on Russian forces and now Poland are sending their Mig 29s to Rammstein base for American to deploy to Ukraine,
The Match was lit and now the petrol is slowly rolling towards the flame
You have me wrong and my feelings waver. I take your points about the value of fighting, I just find the suffering unspeakably sad and the keyboard warrior cheerleading by some people here extremely hollow. But obviously an unconditional surrender is not the answer either. I really don't know. If they do fight on, they need much more military support and I wish they could get it.
If they made that decision fine...but they haven't...quite the opposite...and the people clearly agree with Zelenskyy.
America offering safe passage to Zelenskyy isn't them not being bothered.
