Toeknee, Putin has commited 70% of is forces to the area. That leaves large parts of the eastern and southern borders xposed and Russia has all sorts of enemies all around the souternand eastern borders.

Hs force will be depleted by war with Ukraine, all concentrated in one area. Let him deplete his army, let them get battle weary, logistics get stretched.

Then send in NATO to completely crush them.

The big issue is the nukes. But if he has gone this ar, it should be presumed he will use them anyway. Whether or not the generals and lower ranks will follow orders to use them is another matter. I doubt it.

Seems to be reasonable site for live updates.

Does look like China staying out.

Predictably, not hint of saying sorryfor fu.cking up the 8 years they had to get a peaceful solution trying to be the brokes. The EU needs to be urgently sidelined by nato and UN before they do anymore damage.

RR relies on raw materials from Russia. Also a lot of Russian civie aircraft use RR engines so big trade issue and forex since Russia no longer use dollars.

Very risk punt, but if Putin is taken out or Russian forces look like they are going to suffer heavy losses, could catapult back quic. Too risky for me though

"Meanwhile, Ukraine's defence ministry claimed a total of six Russian Air Force aircraft and two helicopters had been shot down since the attack began. The defence ministry tweeted two tanks had also been destroyed and “about 50 Russian occupiers” killed. Media reports said two Su-24 jets, which are light bombers, were among the aircraft shot down."

I noted the other day the appalling state of the SUs in a picture of one.

Right, looking out for false good news that will cause a brief spike nsp back to at least a ball out point. Currently still sliding as oil goes up and iis switch to gold and safes. I expect big swings but short lived. I'm going to have to do a lot of quick in outs for a few months. Can not shake of m error yesterday. Bugging me like never before.

Do you know the sales commission for 100 offshore wind turbines? It is in the millions. Do you think the salesman is going to tell you the honest truth about the restricted operating range, the extensive and very expensive maintenance cost, the true failure rate of gear boxes and barings, the true cost of energy the turbine draws from the gid to start moving, the serious design flaw in the blade damping system, the significant environmental destruction of the sea floor from the wake and flow separation tens of kilometers downstream, the large loss of current getting the electricity to land???????

No, the salesman will tell you whatever you want to hear, and the campaign groups and one sided TV gods will repeat and broadcast the lies like a religious crusade. And they know you are not going to come back later asking for a refund because it means you admit making a mistake and were so easily led. Vanity, vanity, vanity.

There is so much money sloshing around if you are prepared to be a two faced liar, sacrifice all your personal and professional integrity and live the biggest lie around. You need to be able to look down on poorer people with absolute contempt in order to bully and force them to accept without question what you are selling and force them to pay ever larger sums towards funding the gravy train.

How many times have we heard over the years, "if only somebody had put a bullet in Hitler's head".

Fingers crossed, although Jotom would not wish it from his posts.

OMG, yuppies? You are still THERE? Are you J Corbyn in disguise? If I remember rightly the yuppie jibe had to be dropped as a lot of them were black which was unconscionable for the left as it tried to own the black vote - how very emancipated!

CFC's were found to have no actual effect on ozone concentration as the 'hols' turned out to be natural annular occurrences over both poles. The historics are to keep making the claim because to admit the whole hysteria was false is too much for media and science to admit. Identical to the current climate change con.

You really have a head swimming in woke snowflake crap. Keep paying all those direct debits to all those causes. You really don't want to know about what that money is spent on - the plush air conditioned lodges across Africa, all the diving sports equipment, high living in the best hotels and restaurants, worldwide travel, bottomless expense accounts, best luxuries and tech money can buy. Keep paying for it!

Well, as thing settle, checking the portfolio, I am between -6.8 and -5.8 down. Luckily I didn't buy back into RR so dodged a bullet there. What? Too soon?

So back to sitting on hands............................

It wouldn't be so bad all this renewable energy stuff, except every climate change claim has a qualified response, most of the CCC is based on false data and deliberate data manipulation and as corrupt as hell. It is all about money, getting hands on hundreds of billions for bloated pay packets and perks, massive commissions and vast wasteful research budgets. The energy crisis is very slowly starting to get questions raised about the unsustainable costs. What is needed is the BBC license to broadcast is revoked and handed to an organisation which will allow open and free debate. Within months, you will see a vast change of opinion as the truth is outed, and see he extent of the CC hysteria overseas as they try to hold back the 'awakening'.

Your text speaks for itself jotom. It's always somebody else isn't it? Never you. Never ever you.

My error staying in yesterday was assuming Putin would consolidate his position for a few days at least. Perhaps the only glimmer of hope here is tat it is now clear he is moving to wrap the situation up quickly and avoid a long drawn out conflict. So I'll be looking out for whether the invasion force simply takes airfields and barracks or sets up camps in cities and towns. Clearly this is a show of force and if he doesn't get what he wants with this play of an ace the threat of escalating further now as more weight. I think on review he has crossed the nuke mental barrier and battlefield nukes will be available against nato countries. Not Ukraine though, you do't sh.it on your own doorstep and in the wheat fields. He knows ho foolish and vain the europeans are, US is a very divided county and the UK can also be considered as divided whilst the EU and its agents and supporters within the UK continue to try and deny and reverse Brexit. His hand is looking pretty strong at the moment.

Still desperately trying to troll against people like me jotom? People who have a real world 360 view and see troubles and post the possibilities. Soyou resort to your poo flinging. It is getting very boring.

RR has been hammered. Does not bode well for IAG tomorrow.

asteroid bobbins, asteroid!

Its the air keyboard, bloody useless...

It's a long way back, but iis seem to be hoovering up the duped shares, mm raising prices only half hour into session.
