Ukraine

[Mrbean76]

It’s very very very sad! I really hope will close very soon!

I've a feeling it will be over very soon, either that or WW3 !!

I obviously hope it's not the latter.

Go wan Ukraine.

Russian people rise up against your oppressor. You are just like us and the Ukrainian people. We all want freedom and consumer goods and a government that are our masters and not the other way around.

. ‘The damage is done’: Russians face economic point of no return’

“
As markets opened in a panic on Monday, many Russians rushed to local cashpoints in Moscow to retrieve their savings before the damage got any worse.

“It said they had dollars so I came here immediately,” said Alexei Presnyakov, 32, pointing to an app for Russia’s Tinkoff Bank, indicating he could withdraw hard currency. About 20 people were queued in line. “Yesterday [the rate] was 80 [to the dollar]. Today it’s 100. Or 150.”

“I just made a spontaneous decision today that I would ask [out of work] and go around until I took out all my money,” he said. “Before it was worth zero.”

Within minutes, however, the word traveled down the queue: the dollars were gone.

Nearly half the queue walked off. “Who needs roubles?” one woman said sarcastically as she walked away.”

“ With its reserves frozen, the Central Bank announced it would more than double its main interest rates to 20%, the highest this century, and force major exporting companies, including large energy producers like Gazprom and Rosneft, to sell 80% of their foreign currency revenues, effectively buying roubles to prop up the currency rate.”

the only think i'm worried about crippling sanctions is what the long term result will be
in terms of the russian peoples sentiments
will it make them more anti Putin or more anti west?

history teaches us that it can be very dangerous to make a country and its people feel they have only
one option left
Germany was isolated and restricted after WW1 and it helped to give rise to something far far worse
blockades of Japan was one of the factors that led to pearl harbour

not saying that sanctions shouldn't be imposed,just that the west needs to be careful about how
tight the choke hold is,so to speak

Interesting , thought-provoking , perhaps hopeful look at the Sanctions and how they’re to be implemented >>>>

When it comes to cavemen like putin the pen is most definitely not mightier than the sword.

I'm afraid you've got the wrong guy.

I was only really banned around that time king samlad had his mental breakdown and started banning half the people on the boards for no reason, including a lot of seasoned old-timers.

I had a few run-ins with Lucy Chambers - but you could say that about dozens or hundreds of people. She was a very divisive figure, she attracted drama to herself and thrived off it - she used to spend all day here. T'was all in good fun.

I have no idea what headline you're talking about.

I was a friendly and curious poster who used to talk about issues at the time, most of my posts were made before your account were created.

Carlos Marvado, ninebythree (now both banned), Anna23 and Magnificent AnnaS were some of the real ones at that time.

I have also liked Putin for over a decade.

You like Putin , well psychopaths are attracted to each other
I wonder which mod had a mental breakdown now lad

[willie wacker]

All we can hope for now is the Russian people and the Rich Oligarch get rid of Putin

The Russian people with brain don’t like Putyin, everybody after spending a few min for using the brain a little bit cannot like any war. What to say? We are not all blessed with brain …
