Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2022 I wonder how many of those crims sent to the front line will end up being deaded by their own? Survive the conflict only to be executed and have their loved ones told they died gloriously in battle. Keeps the costs down of looking after inmates.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 19, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2022 Sanctions inevitably hit both. Russia getting much less in now though, so buying goods and arms from elsewhere becomes more difficult. Obviously the gas situation (amongst some others) affects many others, however the rapid changes throughout Europe will mitigate the loss of Russian gas. It will just take time. Moreover, once weaned off it, then longer term the Russian economy suffers as its market has reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 15 hours ago, Casino said: Arent they still getting a billion a day in, despite sanctions? probably, there will be no shortage of countries wanting to buy their oil/gas - I think Pakistan were talking about doing a deal with them last week. The sanctions will work, but it'll take years to really start biting them, whilst people are still buying oil/gas. Interestingly, we've got one of our suppliers over here at the minute, from mainland China, and he reckons that from the Chinese side, it very much looks like NATO is the aggressor and Russia is the good guy. He won't really talk about it much, but you can tell that he's very much "on the side" of the Russians - which goes to show how much people can be influenced by whatever media they have access to. As an aside, when he travels back to China next week, he has to then stay in a Government sanctioned hotel for 2 weeks, and he'll be tested everyday for COVID. Once he leaves (provided he's clear) then he, and his family, have to stay housebound for a further week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
