D9Ber, almost impossible to say. I put a lot in to average down Easy J only to see another 15% drop. One thing is for certain, if/when the hostilities cease and oil supply is resourced, people recovery will make a lot is a lot of money.
Best hope is Putin is extinguished to use Ukrainian parlance. There will be a major spike on that news, too fast to buy in. So I'm sitting on what I have got for now, I won't be trying to average down further.

"We'll leave the terrorism against the world to one side for the moment."

Yet what do you start wit and focus on? Ys, the same old apologist propaganda tying to claim oppressive fundamentalist groups are all the fault of the US.

And you only have to look at the UN records to look through the long, long list of human rights atrocities and the never ending calls from a huge wide range of organisations and people tat 'something must done' and the never ending criticisms of the US, the west and others for NOT stopping the oppressions.

Go and subscribe to amnesty international, they have libraries full of evidence and appeals for help, desperate appeals that go years with no action.

Frankly you lobby an extraordinary argument that flies in the face of extensively documented history from multiple independent sources.

"So, stop with the 'terrorist agenda." in answer to "We'll leave the terrorism against the world to one side for the moment."

As I said earlier, you're not very good at this are you?

Paypal is used extensively now as it is far easier than online banking for most smartphone based people. This one will be felt.

Why fordm did the people in the places you ention beg to be liberated?
Now give us a summary of how many died or had lives destroyed by the likes of Gaddafi, Husain, Taliban, Al Qaeda and the rest.
We'll leave the terrorism against the world to one side for the moment.

That's one way to try and make a name for yourself. How long before we hear of the book he's publishing. The analysis tries to big up limited advances and conveniently ignores very limited or very slow progress. Also, the narrative is very much at odds with a very wide information from multiple sources. And don't say they are just swallowing US propaganda, there has been little out of the US, often late, and it is a falsehood to believe people just follow the US without question. The US exist, are allies but the reach in both Britain and Europe declined rapidly after the end of the cold war. The EU especially regards the US as a competitor and a very separate and different place economically and culturally.

You have a rather wishful thinking idea of how things are. A 30km exclusion zone is supposed to surround the reactors, The Russians have completely ignored the zones with the first two sites they have come across.

As for using power stations as a weapon, they have a limited scope. The worst impact is release of radioactive isotopes in water courses. For the reactors, following Chernobyl, the fail safes now would mean conventional weapons would not penetrate the core and the control rods drop under gravity with the smallest tremor. Chernobyl happened because the idiots turned of all safety and backup systems for engineering work and ignored overheating warnings. The core distorted and the boron rods couldn't fall down, hydrogen was released as the granite overheated and eventually went bang destroying the building and control equipment.

It isn't the reactor that's the main issue, it's the storage facilities that are the issue. There are no 'high level' contacts, only the peace talks.

It's a left of field thought, but is it possible Russian bots have hacked the markets somewhere??????

"big - blue do you really believe Russia would bomb a nuclear power plane. ?"

No idea? Why do you ask? I understand they went for an accomodation block presumably thinking there was a garrison inside?

Why? Is the tactic to panic us into believing if we don't force Ukraine to surrender to Russia we'll all dye from radiation or something? Has Russia set up it's own cold war style nuclear free zone or something, lol.

The standards of your psychological opps is very poor. You seem to think we have a low threshold. You saw you lot in the cold war despite your CND mob. We laughed them off.

Nobody said you made the claim. Are you being deliberately obtuse?

Errr... I think we all know that. Do you think you are so special you get exclusive replies? Are all you Russian trolls in the same room? oh crap, are you being paid in Rubals?

Ouch!

In years and decades and even century's in the future we shall hear the phrase, "look at that idiot over there, he's doing a Putin, throwing everything away. Numptie."

"actually queues were people moving money into accounts where they can get 22% interest for a minimum of 1 month. how do I know. because my future wife showed me pictures"

Yeah right, "I'm" losing it!

What hole? Putin has made a massive mistake, Russian people are going to hammered for some years even if they stopped this minute and pulled out.

Love to see a reference to this investment scheme giving 22%, but you had to queue and not do it online, only in brach by physically drawing the cash or from drawing cash from a machine.

Come on, let's see some proof.

Russian trolls resorting to lobbying for any no supportive post to be removed. You've lost the argument, and that is the real worl.

... and the idea Europe is under some sort of control of the US is so laughable. The EU is anti US by design. The whole point of the European project is to be a counterbalance to the US. The US is in a never ending fight with the EU. If it wasn't for the notion of a Russian threat, of which most of the EU core routinely dismiss and only the old Warsaw pact countries promoted, nato may well have been dissolved and replaced by an EU army by now, doing exercises with Russian friends!

Well clever, clever Putin managed to turn the clock back 40 years in a matter of hours. No nato us back on and even the neutral countries are taking sides. Wow, way to go big boy!

Putin's ploy is going to go down in history along with Custer's last stand and the charge of the light brigade.

Class 1A plonka!!

"Engage with our security concerns"

'our'? You expose yourself again as a Russian stooge. You're not very good at this by the way. There was no security threat in the first place! You Russians have been perpetually failing in the modern world and so revert to type, you invent enemy's and box shadows. You are not number 2, 3 or even 4. Kicked out of the G8 and even the seat on the security is being challenged. You lost the cold and then managed somehow to lose the peace. And look how little old men are kicking the sh.it out of your pathetic army. You didn't even bring a spare can of fuel. Your country deserves all that is coming to it, third world lowest level poverty stricken swamp.

Devaluation=inflation. Why do you think the first thing Russia did was slap a huge 30% tax on changing Rubbles into any other currency? Why was there instant queues outside banks and all cash machines to get savings out to buy gold from the pawnbroker or wherever?
By middle of next week inflation in Russia will already be double digit!

Putin has a small marginal land bridge in the south. He will want to secure and deepen that. One principle objective fulfilled.

Kyiv? Laying siege to the city will only intensify and exasperate the global response. In little over a week the Ruble is now confetti [mega inflation Russia to follow eg Zimbabwe style], Russia a pariah state, kicked out of virtually every sporting arena, banks are going bust, cut out of big parts of electronic transaction, and key supply chains being stopped [silicon chis for example]. He's got the hackers all over his back, the Ukrainians icking back like wild rabid bloodthirsty vampires and there whispers around the Kremlin. China is making increasingly negative statements, India and South Africa are waking up to the long game and tartingto shuffle their feet and Israel will soon feel he sanction effect as they filter down through the Russian jewish community to Israel.

And there is the solution. Everybody has been scratching their heads trying to understand what all Nazis rants are about. Well which audience would hear that more than most? There must be a faction within Israel powerful enough to keep Israel at arms length which Putin is playing too. And Syria will be in the mix there because Israel controls the skies with Russian say so.

So a lot balances on a knife edge. Israel needs guarantees from any new Russian regime, China needs assurances on ne energy contracts, nato will need guarantees and if their is one coup, there could be attempts at counter coups s last time.

Situation is exacerbating. I may write a strongly worded letter to the Kremlin. A long one too!
