Would he get arrested if he ever left Russia? I would assume he has diplomatic immunity in other countries He can't and no-one else from there can leave for the foreseeable future. His money and power are in Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how hard can life be for them. I get overly upset as I cant control emotions for various reasons sometimes. I'm with you. It's heartbreaking. I'm at the stage now where I think all these sanction mean shit. The only thing that actually is 100% true in all this are that innocent people, including children are being murdered and nobody is doing shit because the bully said so. The Ukrainian theatre of War has become the coliseum for the plebs to witness death and murder whilst eating their bread in safety. The west pick and choose which under developed countries which to attack and then when the real dog comes along they scurry back into their homes crying about civility and care for the innocent. I have serious doubt as to whether he truly has the balls to go nuclear and think hes a bluffer. Why would you go to war knowing you'll come out of it with the arse end of nothing. That doesn't make sense. If I was the West I'd call his bluff. Give the Russians a period of notice before NATO/UN or the rest of the world(I don't give a shit) go into Ukraine and create a corridor for people to leave. No air cover, just impartial troops ensuring the safe evacuation for those that want to leave. Edited March 3, 2022 by avfc1982am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Russia has been a part of the last couple of decades where the world has evolved in tech and consumerism and their people will not want to become North Korea - but that is where their leader is dragging them, with no regard to their wants and needs. It might take a while, but I can see Putin being phased out, albeit once Ukraine is conquered - will take a while though. There'll be no justice for this war though, that's life.

Popular Post bobzy Posted March 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 I think it’s (very understandably) not covered much, but I also feel sorry for the millions of Russians who are also having their lives **** over for no real reason. The whole thing is just so, so tragic. **** people, eh? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 US Ambassador at the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield getting a lot of well deserved criticism for her remarks that Russia are threatening to invade Finland and Sweden yesterday. There is a reason (a couple reasons) why the people in Sweden and Finland have always been against joining NATO, and this kinda showed why. Always feel like the US are desperate for war and escalating things. Might be turning now with more and more political parties pushing for us to join. Would be extraordinary since Sweden has long had our own version of "neutral" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big business are learning some harsh lessons in supply chain resilience with the semiconductor crisis and this. Which is daft because they should pay attention to that anyway.

BMW China and America use different suppliers , don't know if that means they will re-route the supply chain Edited March 3, 2022 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
