But shared by immeasurably more Daltry or those he cheers for.
You never write anything constructive, Daltry. Just whinge on and on. And never resist the chance to have a personal dig at me, eh? Well, enough is enough - you are nothing more than a spiteful, vindictive old man - with neither manners nor grace
Simples - your excellent post of 0048 hrs- Russia and Ukraine- Totally agree. !
We are fed up with Senseman and his personal bias politic views which are not shared by many.
Sense, we’re you drinking last night?
The chap in the video isn’t the Indian PM! He’s a minister for external affairs - which when you consider British equivalents recently, including ex and future uk pms, he compares favourably. ;-).
Your view seems quite uk-centric, and there are other forums to discuss this sort of thing. I’m not going to pull apart your points except the one above which is just wrong, as the rest would be my opinion which would cause more ammunition for your rants.
Not trying to pick a fight here, but you keep coming like a paid ramper/de ramper trying to disrupt of which I assume you’re not.
india is a world leader both economically and population wise - with that comes responsibility. it needs to make better decisions not centred on short-termist economic advantage
I wouldn't call QE to infinity by the West as responsible.
Why are we involving ourselves with Ukraine/Russian politics anyway? To quote the Washington Times "In the 350 years since the Eternal Peace Treaty (actual name) was signed in 1686, Ukraine has been either a vassal state or province of Russia. Ukraine has been independent only since 1991, and that independence happened only as a consequence of the United States and its allies winning the Cold War" and nobody cared less then. We are under no legal or moral obligations to protect Ukraine, nor do we have any treaty obligations to Ukraine. I'm not asking for propogandist diatribe but for facts.
here's one for the muppets
the uk is not in the eu
if india buying cheap russia oil is ok - would the uk buying cheap russia oil be ok? and why don't we do it?
what would your opinion be tomorrow if the uk said - we are buying as much russia cheap oil as we can, for as long as we can? our economy needs the costs saving. would you agree with and vote for this? or not?
come on - don't be suddenly shy. it's the weekend and we know there will be no HUR news for a goodly while so we're hogging the board
i await your answers with interest!
pk - quite correct, you didn't post link, unreserved apology
but writing that a world PM is impressive and pragmatic is de facto implying approval, unless properly qualified - note how nutters extrapolate nonsense from your post
the indian pm will be re-elected - because economically india is doing well - and that is his narrow objective
but a pm (especially of such a populous country) is only half a pm without a responsible world view. he is not a statesman. can one imagine gandhi saying....'luvly jubbly, let's buy loads more russia oil 'cos it's cheap'?
(responsible) british posted the link to highlight how narrow minded and perfidious world leaders can be, and how Brent price & HUR's fortunes are linked
india is a world leader both economically and population wise - with that comes responsibility. it needs to make better decisions not centred on short-termist economic advantage
my expertise is world affairs and politics, not oil. if you consider i write sense about HUR, you should reflect even more carefully if i comment re world affairs. i stand by my substantive comments. in spades. in very big spades

You can't get anything right today, silly girl.....

By the way it was 'British' who posted the video rather than 'PK73' that you alleged to have posted the video. Something else you got wrong and something may I add I believe you should apologise to Pk73 over if indeed to follow your own rules regarding morality and etiquette.
"for god's sake. if we always bang on about what this and that country did badly in times past, all it does is give cart blanche for history to repeat itself. you have to judge each new situation on it's merits taking into account harsh lessons from the past."
You don't appear to see the contradictions and hypocrisy in your own posts. On the one hand you suggest "you have to judge each new situation on it's merits taking into account harsh lessons from the past" then in the other suggest "if we always bang on about what this and that country did badly in times past, all it does is give cart blanche for history to repeat itself". In other words What Putin does is wrong cos its happening now but what we did not that long ago, which was much worse, should be ignored, as its not relevant to today. However, past events should be considered, so that history doesn't repeat unless the past that is brought to the fore isn't agreeable with the current argument.
"eg. europe was dependant on russia oil and gas. it is now weaning itself off that dependency as fast as reasonably poss.
the fact that it WAS dependant and STILL (currently, out of necessity) uses russia oil and gas, is NOT a valid argument for India to use as it's raison d'etre for gobbling up as much bargain basement russia oil & gas as it can and thereby lengthening putin's tenure with all it's world-impacting negative consequences"
Why shouldn't India, China and Japan use Russian oil & gas? What is happening in Europe is by its own hand but you expect the East to do likewise when what is occurring in Europe has nothing to do with them? Eastern countries are taking advantage of a reduced price of energy which in turn bolsters their own economies which is the moral and responsible thing to do in the best interests of their citizens. You might agree with it because you're party by citizenship of a country putting sanctions on Russia but no sanctions exist from the East so why should they care what we choose to do to ourselves. If roles were reversed we wouldn't care about them, as past events have shown.
Dude.
With regards to HUR you’re one of the best posters on here, but I respectfully disagree with your POV since you’ve strayed off topic.
Give your head a wobble and get back to HUR. (Btw - I didn’t post the link to video, nor did I say I agreed or disagreed. Just that the guy sounded pragmatic and comes across impressively. Then you started this malarkey).
Tomorrows another day. Let’s leave it there.

this is simple stuff!
That's exactly what the Minister was doing though...calling out double standards.I'm not condoning Russia but the US has as much blood on its hands as the Russians probably more and where are the countries sanctioning them?I'll say no more as there are other threads for this kind of debate
pk - but it was you out the video up and praised the guy....!!!
you're as daft as island....and look who he is cheering on...)
don't post crap (or politics) if you don't want to be called out for it
you double-standards little tinker
Probably best to keep one’s political views off an LSE chat board..
I prefer hearing about drilling for oil rather than someone drilling their differing opinion and narcissistic comments into me like their opinion is the gospel.
GLA all. Pk.
someone didn't miss the point at all
it's just that you aren't very bright
Exactly I think someone missed the point completely
"namely should one act to stop a despot intent on ignoring the strived for world rules based system and destabilizing the world by invading and seizing another country"
Isn't that what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan not so long ago with the only difference being that we used the excuse of looking for something that didn't exist (WMD's) in one country and looking for a man (Bin Laden) that was found in a different country (****stan) which we chose not to invade as they're a nuclear power.. If you're seriously suggesting Putin is Hitler again you really need to learn your history.
my god.....you bozos are easily seduced by an intelligent speaker spouting the level one argument 'it's good for my people'. it would cost me a bottle of fanta and a bag of chips for someone to get you into bed!!
he is smart enough to knowingly avoid comment on the higher ethical more relevant level 2 issue, namely should one act to stop a despot intent on ignoring the strived for world rules based system and destabilizing the world by invading and seizing another country
the interviewer is too stupid to ask him the relevant world issue questions
putin is hitler again.
the logical conclusion of what you write is that it is ethically sound to support a country intent on destroying democracy because it helps your own country's economy
the erudite man knows he is talking drivel. and you fools fall for it?!
putin is a mid level intelligence gutless spiv, backed by ex kgb silovki, who has set back russia by 20 years. he is toast. russia cannot win in ukraine and is going to be severely smacked
history will not judge india or its current pm kindly
as i said....it would take just a bottle of fanta and a bag of chips to get you tarts into bed!!
Yep He certainly spoke very well and wasn't being backed into the European narrative corner.The West were happy enough to still take Russian gas so why shouldn't India take Russian oil
Thx for sharing the clip, British. First time I’ve come across this chap, and he seems a very impressive, pragmatic politician. Which is rare.
a year ago $ was 73p. Now it's 83p. suits us - it's whacking £ free cash up quicker
And if few of our allies just ban Russian oil completely
