I hope they declare the blood money to Revenue.
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.
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.
Somethings up with the Chechens
Take with a table spoon of salt.
It's like watching an over weight trapese artist struggling on the high wire, the options narrow on Putin with every step.
But its still only September?
Not much of hunt when it's on flight radar 24 🛩️
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
If the mere discussion of this causes a reduction in spot and forward contract prices, then it will have done it's job. Read between the lines, not everything is always as it seems.
And yet when the mere mention of the EU rolling back on sanctions this winter was mentioned it was met with shouts of Putinbots and the such.
Its exactly what it is.
Oil prices per barrel is down but wait let Russia increase revenues to continue it's war on ukraine.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Kremlin tonight....
I'd love to see whats happening at the troll farm tonight,
We know Russia will call up more troops but considering how much of the NCOs and senior officers they have already lost in Ukraine who's going to train and prepare the next batch of poor unfortunates for the Ukrainans to turn into fertilizer
Calm down and think about how some of this propaganda stuff works. Announce "discussions", speculators wind back their forecasts for ever more expensive resource, announce more "discussions" and hopefully start negative feedback loop and reducing coal prices. Everybody in west wins and Russia gets SFA.
It doesn't work like that.
You cause a bigger issue of losing credibility when you utilize brinkmanship.
This is interesting coming out of Kazakhstan,not in the eu but enforcing sanctions .
"Enforcing sanctions" imagine that
Comedy gold , but utterly bizzare at the same time...
Everyone loses once these things kick off.
Plunge Ukraine into the 19th century With no electricity and internet so we can stop them trolling us with our social media (Russian)
These trolls do get quite antsy when they don't get their own way
Did they bus in the Retirement homes or something by the looks of it.
in other news-
Today, Saturday, September 17, Russian warplanes launched air strikes targeting two stone-cutting machines on the outskirts of the village of Hafsarja, west of Idlib, injuring a worker, and raids loaded with cluster ammunition targeted forests in the area
I am trying to explain the concept of subtle dropping of hints to "market creators" but some users on here have a lesser concept of subtlety than a Lambeg drummer or steam hammer driver, not picking on you btw. With them, if something is not minimum 105% pro Ukraine then it is anti Ukraine even if it has shag all to do with Ukraine. Hints about maybe having talks about maybe having discussions about importing some Russian coal is aimed at a whole non Ukraine and non Russian audience and also non physical coal customers.
First of the Russian prisoners recruited by Wagner.
Writes itself from the speech Wagner gave before telling convict recruits to blow themselves up before being captured and No surrender.
To then the state Duma realising wtf do we do in this situation. Ok we'll imprison anyone that surrenders for 10 years. That'll do it..
Civil war. Civil war. There's going to be civil war in Russia. Everyone sing along now. C.I.V.I.L war.
Yeah it really does...
Probably kgb retiree's bused in
Seems odd I get no issues. My only problem is handling of the refugee situation and Ireland has taken in to many. No ones accused me of being a bot. But then again I have never used both sides or some USA NATO this smoke and mirrors. Or Russia really bad but look Ukraine. It's been done to death here and people are well used to nonsense.
''Pro-Russian Zaporizhzhia governor Vladimir Rogov announces that Zaporizhzhia will declare independence after a referendum''
Can he tell the future, or is the vote corrupt😅
They really are dumb s hit s making comments like that.
I can see a mass exodus from Russia, people marching towards Europe, breaking out of the **** hole before they're threatened with jail unless they pick up a gun
Well there are issues. It's not the Soviet union now. Will you convince the police to mass arrest and then have to go fight in the place of people in jail.
I think Russia is well past subtle. The Wolf in sheep's clothing trick only works once. After that if you invite the wolf for dinner you've only yourself to blame.
