watching Al Jaz today they had a Prof Sawaka from Kent Uni on and he said the west are jointly to blame when Kiev said they would renuclearise and Nato did not come out against it.. and judging by previous statements from people like Yulia Tymoshenko they will use them to hit Russia. They don't care about the outcome?..He also said he was surprised that military ragets around ukraine were hit..but the Ukrainian forces in the Donbass region do not appear to have been badly hit and to me that suggests that Ukrainian forces in the Donbass are unable to be backed up or resupplied.? and dare I say less likely to put up much of a fight. I'd also suggest that putin wants rid of the Azov battalion in mariupol . Ross Kemp Extreme World Ukraine S04 E01 Ukraine did a documentary about them in 2015. Used to be able to see it on the tube but no more daily motion still have it. ABC News Australia visited Mariupol & reported ''Ukraine crisis: Inside the Mariupol base...''..'The first thing you notice as you walk through the corridors of the Azov battalion's base in Mariupol are the swastikas.'' What will happen now.. who knows we can only hope that this will be over quickly! Opinion?.. They should have a 'Don't Know' option.
Me I have a huge hole in this!about 17,000 of the top of my head.
How can it get worse.. The Us has said it won't fight and reading AEP on the telegraph.. the west has nothing.. Putin called johnson's bluff and his hand was.. a large wedge of birthday cake.. AEP tells of how Russia has sanction proofed herself.. AIDED by the 2014 devaluation.. cutting the value of the ruble in half.. making everything produced in russia half price.. a dollar went from 35 pybs to the $ to 70 pybs.. as usual the west scores own goal after own goal.. oil nigh on $100 was 3500 pybs now 7000 pybs??.. German cars twice the price no need for russian sanctions.. the west did it to themselves!.. and back in 2014 the eu had to bail out farmers..

..and johnson looked worried.... he has announced santions that ''Don't amount to a hill of beans..''.... Uk debt..Government interest bill hits highest ever level for a January
The amount the government spent on servicing its debt hit £6.1bn last month, up £4.5bn over the last year, according to the Office for National Statistics ...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. https://www.cityam.com/government-interest-bill-hits-highest-ever-level-for-a-january/ UK debt now £2.3 trillion..We, the UK ,are in deep do dos!.. German energy prices will soar. The German economy will have to import US gas... that'll make their economy uncompetitive. the economy that holds the eu together... meanwhile the hungarians have entered into a new gas contract with Russia. The europeons will be thinking what are the eu & German government doing?? The Russians can afford to write off NS2.. will it come to blows?/.. Who knows but Lugansk & Donyetsk declared independence 8 years ago and only now has Russia recognised them as independent. Ample time for an agreement to have been reached.. I am surprised that Johnson didnt try to claim donyets as British.. if he knew any history of the place?.. Donyetsk was founded by a Welsh engineer John Hughes.. take a shufti..https://john-hughes-hotel-donetsk.booked.net https://liverpool.hotels-of-ukraine.com/en/ how on earth did we fall out with these people?? That homage to the Beatles at the entrance to the hotel is 11 foot x 8 ft .. and when I was last there in 2012 there were so many wearing Union Jack T shirts?? A very pretty city I have to say my favourite 'Ukrainian' city. Why do we keep letting idiots run this country...''We did it to ourselves!''
triumph1....Well you got your answer to that!
Take a shufti at the telegraphs ''Putin is close to winning in Ukraine''...ussia has amassed foreign exchange reserves of $635bn, the fifth highest in the world and rising. It has a national debt of 18pc of GDP, the sixth lowest in the world, and falling...a budget surplus and does not rely on foreign investors to cover government spending. It has slashed its dependency on oil state revenues. The fiscal break-even cost of a barrel of oil fell to $52 last year, down from $115 before the invasion of Crimea in 2014... Putin’s .. runs one of the most orthodox policy regimes on the planet. “The macroeconomic team at the central bank and the treasury are exemplary,” said Christpher Granville from TS Lombard...
Not if you sold some??
Even though the Russians have recognised it.. accepted it but are going to regulate it? Why are they doing that?
''Prices in the US are 7.5 per cent higher than they were a year ago in January, according to fresh figures published today by the US Labor Department, the fastest rate of acceleration since February 1982.''...That was when it was on the way down..''The Federal Reserve board led by Volcker raised the federal funds rate, which had averaged 11.2% in 1979, to a peak of 20% in June 1981. The prime rate rose to 21.5% in 1981..''
Not a fan of the show but today's is worth a listen.. ''Inflating a cold war state of mind'' https://www.rt.com/shows/renegade-inc/548324-inflating-cold-war-state-mind/ Downloadable so you can listen to it while sitting on the loo...cos it'll relieve any constipation you may have!
I dont know who you are refering to over that 9 trillion of debt they may not want to raise intertest rates but whats the alternative others will start selling the currency and the outstanding debt. The markets will decide. We saw this in 1992 when the Major government couldn't bring itself to leave the forerunner to the euro, the Exchange Rate Mechanism. Major threw money at the markets and pushed interest raters to 15% and threatened 18%.. Top no avail and they had no choice but to give in. Left the ERM and reduced interest rates! If you cant sell your IOUs, and no one will accept your money..then what?
the USA is 'fortunate or maybe not, that the USD is the reserve currency and they can get away with printing money as it is still accepted globally.. well not totally,.. but look over the last 40 years. Every time the economy slows down they pump it up. The reduction in interest rates, on the pretence of low inflation an illusion of imp[orting cheap foreign goods. Americans refinance their homes, buy everything on tick. The money sloshes around the economy before leaving the country and heading east! And here we are interest rates rock bottom home refinancing not so easy.. They needed another scam.... the housing bubble, then sell the housing debt to foreigners. The world economy didn't recover from that and then we had the covid money printing. My friends in Florida tell me they have been partying for 15 months now...Wheres the next cash cow/excuse coming from?... Or is it crunch time?
I listen to Peter Schiff and I can't fault his logic!
''Putin has ensured Fortress Russia can withstand a long siege'' Ambrose Evans-Pritchard writes in the Telegraph
And of course we have the threat of the Fed raising rates.. but can they raise rates.. raising the interest rate on 30 trillion debt? Volker back in his day raised rates to nigh on 20%.. In fact the whole of the west are in trouble no matter how you look at it!
Are you still in here mr Tibbs.. I must say, I got in then Sukari happened and my instinct started to flash.. but things do go wrong.. but I find the older I get my instincts seem to be right more often than my 'judgement'!
