The Eu is discussing easing sanctions on Russian coal to help combat the energy securites issues and food shortages .
Fauq me just when you think the eu can't really be that stupid they do this
Not much of hunt when it's on flight radar 24 🛩️
But its still only September?
It's like watching an over weight trapese artist struggling on the high wire, the options narrow on Putin with every step.
Somethings up with the Chechens
Take with a table spoon of salt.
To be fair, Putin making a speech at 10pm Moscow local, would be a bit insensitive considering the time differences in the East. Especially considering that's where he'll be dragging them from their homes.
However, why is was delayed for 2 hours previously is another issue.
There's a UN meeting on tomorrow. Lavrov is said to be aboard.
The meeting has been scheduled a while. The flight took off 7 hours ago.
I hope they declare the blood money to Revenue.
Why, it's Putin and family on their way to seek asylum, of course.
The hunt for red October in the sky.
There is a Russian delegation at UNGA, the flight across isn't that out of sorts.
IL-76 on its way to NY. What does this mean GP, in your opinion?
Jayus just realized guess who might appear as independent observers of these sham referendums ....
Wallace and Daly
And we're now hearing that his one hour speech tomorrow morning (9am) is recorded. It's quite possible this is all some bizarre wind up.
Good call. It's possible alright.
I see an IL-76 is on the way to New York....
Russian Airforce IL-76 on the way to New York..
So can't answer the question and just making it up.
Form indeed.
"In response to the "referendums" in Ukraine, the US Department of Justice asked Congress to legitimize the transfer of Russian assets to Ukraine
This was stated by the head of the ministerial working group on the application of sanctions against the Russian Federation Andrew Adams."
'Not the gold!...how much?'
'All of it? You can't be serious...and the embassy in Washington?
Most of the regulars here know your form. I’ll leave it at that.
Very odd indeed...
I would suggest that his inner circle have finally grown a pair of gonads and said enough is enough...?
The Despot stages some sham referendums, the Ukranians then cross these imaginary boundries, and hey presto!, that's the legal side of things taken care of...
The Inner Circle: No, no, no.... You deranged lunatic!! You draft an untrained army of kids, they become cannon fodder... NATO will flatten us, can't you see the bigger picture you eejit???
Despot: But I have nukes..
The Inner Circle: And how will the West respond to letting one off??
Despot: But I am the all powerful feared leader
*Sound of breaking glass*
Government statement: National address cancelled, Putin on the missing list, will update in the morning.
With the international focus now switched to New York and the gathering at the United Nations for the first time since Covid is it possible this could be some trolling by Putin? Considering he’s persona non gratis and not invited all eyes have now switched back to Moscow just the way he wants it.
Or am I been too optimistic?
My father's brother's hairdressers friend said....
Do you have evidence or any type of link otherwise it's just spreading disinformation and hearsay.
No one would really care if Putin had gone out and made a fool of himself on camera. Therefore, objections must have been raised to the course of action he was about to announce. It bodes well that he appears to be dependent on a certain level of approval.
Sure, the speech is deferred to tomorrow but that's probably in the hope that it's agreed on by then.
Triple Lol;
"We announce a referendum on the entry of the BNR (Belgorod region) into Ukraine.
Remote voting (as in the occupied territories of Ukraine). Do you support the reunification of the BNR with its historic homeland , Ukraine?
Anonymous Poll
Yes 75%
No 15%
Care 10%
"
Most sane and real experts are saying No nuclear weapons. This is the threat the Russians have always mentioned over the last two decades as a warning,now they have been utterly exposed as paper tigers ,
Nobody is using nuclear weapons in or on Ukraine,
I'm sure b&q and woodies will see an increase tomorrow from people buying new shovels
Thanks for the advice comrade.
3000 more and they have matched American losses in Vietnam, but considering several million us military forces personal served in Vietnam at one point or another,
Putin has lost 55,000 of 150 ,000 men deployed in 7 months
I hope not but this could be a very dangerous moment. The radio silence from the Kremlin is troubling to say the least. Could be intentional to stir anxiety among western capitals or something's afoot.
Even the fact Purin's speech is "rescheduled" is not they used to do things until today.
Odd.
So it’s if Ukraine attack the new sham referendum regions its nuclear war.
Yeah I’m sure China are happy to hear that..
