Putin being called a thief [lol] murdering son of Satan.
Yesterday I said it would go under £2 without a dividend, I don't wish any harm on anyone who has shares or still buying, But It's like going to the sink turning the tap on and watching the water going down the drain!.
I am not saying NATO is going to start ww3 - I think Russia might have already done that!.
You might be wright, i don't know, But soon NATO will have to get involved because mad man Putin will not stop at Ukraine weather its a nuclear war or not.
With no dividend tomorrow I would say under £2 !
So glad I got out on Thursday at a big loss ( thousands ) but it's better to have 50% of something than 100% of nothing. So surprise this is still trading but it's early day's yet, Putin is not going to stop at just Ukraine.
Very brave people if buying, this is going to play out for years or as said below putin is shot or worst he pushers that nuclear button.
Yes expecting big drop, shall be selling when markets open at big loss. NATO will have to get a lot stronger Putin will not stop at Ukraine!

Britain has sold more than £86m of sniper rifles, ammunition, drones and laser technology to Russia in just over a year, it can be revealed.
There are 271 arms export licences given for arms sales, air vehicles, military helicopters, and spy equipment to Russia that remain active, despite the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Between 2008-2013 UK licensed over £406 million in military and dual use licences to Russia, according to official Whitehall documents.

The ongoing licences would appear to be a breach of the government's own rules, with Foreign Secretary William Hague telling the House of Commons' Committees on Arms Export Controls last year that "the British Government will not issue licences where we judge there is a clear risk the proposed export might provoke or prolong regional or internal conflicts, or which might be used to facilitate internal repression.”

Andrew Smith, a spokesperson for Campaign Against Arms Trade, said: “This is another example of the shortcomings of a UK foreign policy that all too often promotes the profits of arms companies ahead of human rights.
"The UK should be using its political influence to promote peace, not arms sales.”

"The UK government needs to urgently explain it's arms sales to Russia and demonstrate what steps it has taken to ensure no UK supplied equipment is being used in the current Crimea crisis," Oliver Sprague, Amnesty International's director of military security and police told HuffPost UK.
"Without urgent explanation of who these arms were destined for and how they were going to be used, these figures seem to suggest we have been supplying exactly the kind of weaponry that risks being used to escalate the current military crisis in the region, with all the likely catastrophic consequences that such armed violence will inevitably bring."
The chairman of the government's own committee, Sir John Stanley, has previously said questions needed to be ask whether licences to China, Sri Lanka, Iran and, crucially, Russia, had been sufficiently scrutinised.
Deals with Russia account for £3m worth of ammunition, £86,000 of drones, and £22m on intelligence equipment, used to encrypt sensitive data.

An FCO spokesman has told the Sun that the Government is "urgently reviewing arms export licences for Russia and will make a decision in consultation with our allies."
Britain has been selling weapons to Russia for years and still doing so.
