Glory To Ukraine!



Still time to make this a collosal mistake by the evil despot.

I think your right Pat. Western leaders are a joke on the world stage. In comparison ranked Modi, Xi, and Putin.
Just one example China & Russia waited patiently for coalition forces to retreat from Afghanistan so they could exploit the vast lithium and coca reserves. But more importantly continue with the BRI, China's mega project one belt one road bringing east to west ....
Yeah China are clearly the new world leaders when it comes to diplomacy, and with the BRI they're building infrastructure all over the world. It's one of way of making friends and influencing people especially in countries where the West have cut foreign aid.

Tough on the Western leaders when sanctions will hurt the West as much as they hurt Russia. Think I read something like 25% of the worlds oil and 33% of gas would be blocked - prices would go crazy. Then any export blocks will hurt Western companies hugely as well. And Putin knows it.

There can't be anything worse than Brexit..... A pandemic.
There can't be anything worse than a pandemic....Russia invade Europe.
There can't be anything worse then Russia invading Europe....?

It's going to be hard not watching 24hr rolling news but that's not healthy. I can't imaging many people will be working on their betting today, too much to contemplate, all too trivial. Trying to sell a house at the moment which isn't ideal, when that's done we're moving to Central America.

Have all you experienced 'pro' traders missed your chances here? Surely, now is the time to invest in LEAD! Not Gold, not Silver, not Bitcoin - but LEAD! :-)

Failing that, I reckon 'Bacofoil' is the way to go. At least with the latter option, should 'our heroes' go nuclear, by wrapping yourselves in Bacofoil, if/when the time comes, you'll be both f*cked AND cooked! ;-)

Medellín Colombia. I've spent the last couple of years learning some basic Spanish to provide some options. Quite fancy teaching English but it's so cheap work won't be a necessity. Covid poverty has slightly worsened what had become much safe place though so Puerto Rico is the backup option, although they're not as relaxed about people just rocking up and staying.

The seriousness of what's going on in Ukraine can't be highlighted any more than the rant tread almost dropping off the 7-day page. :lol:

What's the flipping point in having a head of state that's so old she can't carry out even her superficial duties of attending ceremonies and walking a few hundred yards? Resign, or abdicate, to use the correct term.

Why do people make a vomiting sound just to spit???

I've never needed to do it. It's even worse late at night when the streets are quiet.

Bumfair have a habit of suspending the market after a goal and not unsuspending until another goal is scored!

A woman was in my way at the supermarket. She gave me a dirty look, as though it was my fault she was in my way!
