It matters when it’s the thin end of the wedge for people who don’t want you to exist. not trying to derail the conversation, I have only read up to this point without contributing as I don’t have enough of a grasp on the situation to feel I could contribute so I’m just reading and learning. Your point is absolutely correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 The EU is reportedly stepping back from cutting Russian banks off from SWIFT because it would cost Europe too much. Will be very interesting if US cuts Russia off then threatens to sanction any EU banks that go against them. If Johnson doesn’t unleash every last thing the UK can possibly do in the sanctions domain then I hope they lynch him in the Chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are, of course, absolutely right. If arseholes like Putin and Farage and all their supporters spent a bit more time considering the feelings of others and concentrating on the important stuff, we wouldn’t now be in this mess. Dick waving midgets like Putin need to chill out, small c conservatives that love a good war film, they need to chill out. Right wing big talking macho men need to shove something up their own arse and chill out. I’m presuming here that you live in Russia? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh we are as neutral as they come. Just don't ask about the US planes stopping over on the way to Afghanistan and Iraq. Regarding Finland, I read ('Prisoners of Geography' by Tim Marshall) on how Finland has managed this delicate situation for so long - managing to keep close ties with Europe without antagonising Russia. I can't remember the details now but it was very interesting. It also details why Russia is very preoccupied with NATO expansion eastwards and how Putin is very paranoid and insecure.

sharkyvilla Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Looks like some of the On Topic village idiots have discovered Off Topic. For that alone Putin needs a bullet to the brain. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a distraction. Blame it all on vague notions of people going soft and the real issues, like massive Russian influence on our elected politicians, get forgotten about. It's the same tactic as all the people bringing up Barry Gardiner taking money from a Chinese spy. As if he ever even had any influence that could be bought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on. Instead of simply allowing men to become women, we should have been training them up to be fighting machines so this sort of thing could be dealt with swiftly and easily... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Surely Putin weighed up these impending sanctions before deciding to invade Ukraine. If they are as crippling as they say they are gonna be, he wouldn’t of made moves. He’s catered for this. Surprised how aggressively they are moving into Ukraine.

Its a big economy it would take such big to push it into recession - I doubt these sanctions will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d have weighed up pretty much the worst case scenario in terms of sanctions and their economy and he still thought the best option was to invade a country and kill hundreds of thousands of people.
