Khrushchev was after influence in the region and that’s why he gave away crimea.
As for ignorance, better that than a patsy for a murdering invasion of a sovereign country.
USA poke their nose in everywhere but is Russia any different? See you didn’t reply to the article I posted about the Central African Republic eh NTH.

ND, if i had no legal basis to own that land then its out of my control.
Get back to your socialist worker weekend edition. Probably a column by the barmy Corbin nutter about how evil the west are even though he wanted to run the show….we dodged a bullet there….

ND, I’m not a yank lover and yes russia started it by annexing crimea and invading to try to rebuild the USSR

Razza, thats really everyone else has seven brain cells to your one…

Keep taking the propaganda pills ND….Time is coming!

As i said, time will be the arbiter…not you ND

The Kremlin cuddling bunch still talking a good job but lets see where we are in a month. The same softening up process from the AFU are smashing the supply lines and back areas of the invaders as happened with Kherson. Time will tell and then the RT bunch will disappear..
Seamore H probably on a payroll hence his constant BS…

Better than being Putin Bidet JohnNTH

The Ruble continues to lose value. 8% since March 2023 and dropping. When compared to the beginning of the year then the drop was even more than 12%, making it the 2nd worst performing currency in the market this year (only the Argentine Peso is performing worse).

You mean leave it for the Russians NTH?
US gets on my tits as much as anyone but trying to compare with what Russia is doing in Ukraine is a bit of a stretchy to say the least…
But on the flip side how much gold is russia taking from the CAR?

Yes Razza, you….

Fund and share account is HLs non tax wrapper account. They have SIPP, ISA and fund and share.
You are liable for tax etc on profits and can deduct losses as appropriate with HMRC if UK domicile.

If the requirements for a share to be eligible to be held in an ISA are no longer met they would be pushed into a fund and share account. HL did this with a couple of dogs i has a punt on.

Japan has begun purchasing Russian crude oil above the $60-a-barrel cap, breaking with Western allies thanks to an exception authorized by the United States.
Japan has almost none of its own fossil fuels, heavily relying on imports for much of its energy needs. Some analysts believe this dependency heavily influenced Japan’s hesitancy to fully back Ukraine against Russia. To date, Japan is the only Group of Seven members not to have supplied Ukraine with lethal weapons.

Despite the concession, Russian natural-gas imports to Japan are relatively small, accounting for around one-tenth of Japan’s supply and a fraction of Russia’s output, the Wall Journal reports. Most of what Russia exports to Japan comes from the Sakhalin-2 project in Russia’s Far East.

Bakhmut, just 41 square kilometres and its taken how long? 7 months, doesn’t bode well for further pushes as manpower and supply lines get stretched.
They will still have to fight for the west side past the 0513…

COUNTABLE NOUN
A ditch is a long narrow channel cut into the ground at the side of a road or field.

A trench 3metres wide or more and deeply dug is required to make a tank struggle. Then it isn't a ditch, that assumes some idiot doesn’t run into a ditch longitudinally.
Challenger is 8.3 metres long for reference.

Germany have been digging deep Pippazzzz

Plenty more coming from other sources as the nuke sabre rattling alienates the Russian gov more. Even Hungary has jumped ship and Turkey withdrawing the limited services at airports for Russian carriers.

Utter tripe NTH, Ukraine have a significant amount of soldiers out of country receiving training on new weapons systems and general combat training. Weather will improve over the next weeks and multi force tactics being trained in country.
The push will come soon and Bakmut has no real strategic value as secondary defence lines will be ready behind. Oh and how many months and lives have been expended trying to take it? Lots. Bit laughable really.
Zelensky is just pushing for as much equipment as he can get.

More of a knickers man as you seem to get them in a twist regarding POLY 8-)
