mjmooney Posted February 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2022 "We'll counter Russia's lies" - UK PM The UK will work with allies to target Russian finances, Boris Johnson tells the House of Commons. The PM promises to counter "the Kremlin's blizzard of lies and disinformation". We can do lies and disinformation better than you, Vlad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Good to see in the UK there are still two legitimate political parties In the USA we have the vile fascist Republicans who are, you guessed it, siding with Putin against Biden.

Johnnyp Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I think America doesn’t get involved until it becomes a Russia v Europe war. And i don’t think Europe will collectively make moves until America commits, so Ukraine is the real loser here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Despite a lot of noise is the west doing anything that will actually stop this ? BJ is spouting 'tough sanctions' to anyone who will listen - but in reality its like turning up at an earthquake site with a dustpan and brush.

Johnnyp Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Russia produces 10 million barrels of oil per day. Russian gold reserves are 2,300 tonnes. If oil goes up $10 per barrel, Russia adds $3 billion per month. If gold rises 10%, Russia adds $15 billion. Russia doesn’t feel any pain, just profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to me like Boris and the US plan is to impose sanctions that if they don't piss vlad off they will at least punish and piss off the Russian rich and influential, might not be enough to stop vlad but I'm sure he'll have some moaners in his camp, if they can successfully find a sanction that hits the general public then maybe vlad won't have enough popularity at home to carry on Or he'll bomb Pearl Harbour...

I'm not trying to police the conversation, and it's really nice to see you back on here, but I honestly don't think this kind of threat inflation is a good idea. Absolutely nothing has been said by Russia about these countries; these countries are NATO members; an attack on them would potentially or even likely be the beginning of a shooting war with Russia with a chance of leading to nuclear armageddon. I think it's better, on the whole, to just stick with what's actually happening. That's bad enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
