for today. Ross Kemp did a prog on Ukraine back in 2014-15 its available and russias concerns are there for all to see! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7vpslq grab it while its still there!

What has the west taken?... of course with the US being so indebted and we are not much better off? they are the ones who do the thieving.. Afghanisdtan facing starvation the US holds back sending Afghans the the 7 billion of their cash.. yes now they are giving half to charities.. I find it hard to believe that Putin would hold any of his 'assumed' wealth in the west? I dont know about the olies? May be they have houses & yachts but they could all be financed by western banks?

Tell me, what do you think Putin wants?

The fall has been due to the drop in the rouble.. which was 40-5 to the GBP before Crimea it has not climbed its way back since then.. will it this time?

.. that western voters are totally unaware of what Russia/Putin was asking and is now demanding! They don't want nukes or Nato on their border. If voters knew this there would be no drama because what they are asking for is not unreasonable. the USSR did not occupy Poland east germany etc for their natural resoucres because they don't have much..they occupied those countries which had been Axis allies as a buffer! That did not stop the US placing nukes in turkey & italy that started the Cuban crisis!..''.. an international crisis when American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba.''. And still Johnson's word after all the pork pies is now taken as gospel. We deserve all we get including a nuclear war! But never mind Srictly Come Dancing will be on TV soon! God help us We did it to ourselves!

DizzyJim.. but we are not out are we?.. in name only!

Bitcoin?.. on the first day of this tragedy bitcoin plummeted.. and then bounced back but why did it plummet in the first place? It was supposed to a be digital gold?

Doi you think the american aristos will put their mansions on the front line...??

You cant take notice of the media.. we just have to wait n see.. '' truth is the first casualty of war''... and we have boris Johnson?? eeeek!

''Russia has special forces in Ukraine now, but will never admit that.''
Hey Sycho....Daily Mail headline..
'''Raging' Putin praises his special forces for 'heroically carrying out their military duties' in new televised address...'' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10556813/President-lose-grip-power-doesnt-Ukraine-says-minister.html

Sycho
''Ukraine is now recruiting foreign voluntary fighters through their respective embassies. Anyone can join. ''
''.. I have a long military background.''
well there you go with your military experience.. just the type the Ukrainian President has asked for!! bravo.

Sycho
''Russia has special forces in Ukraine now, but will never admit that...'' Putin admitted it today?/
Who gave you the name Sycho?

"I wouldn't be at all surprised if NATO special forces are already on the ground in Ukraine."
Trust me when I say this...'' As far as I would trust boris Johnson!..
''Terror trial collapses after fears of deep embarrassment to security services
Swedish national Bherlin Gildo’s lawyers argued British intelligence agencies were supporting the same Syrian opposition groups as he was...'' https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/01/trial-swedish-man-accused-terrorism-offences-collapse-bherlin-gildo..

You might just wonder how we and europe will pay for our gas & oil.. Putin may insist on gold..upfront! Then what? We have £14 billion worth of gold! to put that into perspective russia has 7 times that amount. Our trade deficit is about £30 billion last 12 months. Russia's trade surplus was $27 billion in December alone! Russia has plenty of oil gas & food to survive alone. India & china populations 2.5 billion. are standing a little way back behind Russia! What have we or europe to offer?? strictly come dancing & the eu BMWs & Mercs!... And then I read today in the DT..''Britain's steel industry hammered by climate change taxes
Record carbon prices means industry is finding it 'all but impossible' to take on competitors''... Madness utter madness.. God help us!

It says nothing. There is no way you can believe anything that comes from our media.. or RT! (Which has been cancelled in a lot of eu countries) Listening now to the BBC a gas pipeline has been hit. And the talk of swift.. How will the west pay for oil and gas.. payment in gold?? Electricity prices at 30p per kWh come April Fools day?? (As I sit with my 600w bar fire in front of me). .. and if you recall last year December & January (I actually went into the garden last early Feb and got a red face for sitting in the sun) were mild but late february and March were cold...Russians won't starve or freeze. Inflation in the US 7.5% (& the rest) Inflation in the UK 5.5% (Aha ha ha ha ha) I don't know what will happen but I fear the worst a wealth tax maybe 1% of peoples assets to raise £50 billion! £50 billion when HMG owes £2,300 billion?? Debt payments increasing..''Spending on interest payments for the year so far is 80 per cent higher compared to the same period a year ago at £57.8bn''.. CityAM. I recall the 1993 Sterling ERM disaster.. Our government tried to keep the pound in the ERM, interest rates at 15% (work out interest rate on £2.3 trillion!! Government is running a deficit now?) They announced a rise to 18% but the markets said ''No you don't'' and the policy failed!
All the Russians are trying to prevent is not having Nato & nukes on its borders! I don't think that that is unreasonable.

Not been thought through?.... Government policy over the past 20-30 years has not been thought through??./.e.g... Yesterdays DT..''Britain's steel industry hammered by climate change taxes-- Record carbon prices means industry is finding it 'all but impossible' to take on competitors'' 26 February 2022
but Swift.. How will they pay for imported gas.. Will Putin ask for Gold to pay for gas?

this a.m. on BBC it was briefly being discussed that BP should dispose of their property in Russia. it was suggested that they would not be able to find a buyer. Peter Schiff in his podcast discussed the same re Russian stocks held in the US and he said that it would only hurt American investors. I wouldnt put anything past Johnson though!

What are we comparing the Covid figures with? We dont know how many people catch flu every year? from mild to fatal? How many people catch a cold every year..?? Yet they issue these tested positive numbers without any reference point??

I gave you the link! I recall both trump and johnson plyed this down at the outset.. and indeed trump did catch covid.. when he left hospital standing at the White Hose he did appear to have trouble breathing?.. did johnson have Covid?.. in a hospital being looked after by his own physician?..possibly, but the question is why wasnt his then pregnant girlfriend, who admitted having symptoms get tested as recommened by the NHS? How would it have looked had she lost the baby? Then of course we have our betters ignoring distancing..indeed with fergusson sneaking out to meet a bit of strange.. Why was there a hand out of cash... the recovery of 2008's QE was failing.. we (but not me) were put on a diet of ''helicopter money'' and now we have inflation.. ooopps better cover that up with a war.. Why should Russia not want nukes in Ukraine?
A lot of our frail died in carehomes where they should've been safest?.. the same in Sweden? I could not believe my eyes when on Ch 4 News inside a care home a carer was hugging a resident?? I mean FGS?? Why did it spread.. look at that market in Wuhan, the living conditions in Brazil overcrowded is an understatement!
When I was young the mantra was ''Coughs & Sneezes Spread Diseases'' and as kids we used to repeat it everytime someone sneezed! Ads were on TV & the cinema.. heres one altho a bit before my time https://youtu.be/bGop2QiSWLU I urge you to watch.. let me know if it doesnt raise a smile!

..won't starve... ,Wheat exports or freeze to death , Gas exports I received an e-mail from Uswitch yesterday
Old gas price cap 4.07p per kWh....... New gas price cap 7.37p per kWh an increase of 81%
Old Standing charge 26.12p per day...New Standing charge 27.22p per day inc of 4.2%
Old Electricity Cap 20.8p per kWh...New Electricity Cap 28.34p per kWh an increase of 36%
Old Standing charge 24.88p per day...New Standing charge 45.34p per day increase of 82%

And this is before any effect from this current unpleasantness because Russiua doesnt want american nuclear weapons being placed on its border as was in Turkey in the early 60's?
