A few questions. Be realistic and nice please.12 Mar 2022 13:41
Obviously the answers will mainly be opinion only and not to be taken as gospel.
1. What is Putin trying to achieve? Forget the Ukraine Nazi and bio weapons rubbish.
2. Was the Putin and his allies agenda to eventually drag NATO into a full scale war and the Covid pandemic was introduced to soften us up for two years before doing so? Or do you think that the fukwit has just miscalculated all this?
3. It is highly likely that Ukraine will end up looking like Syria currently is ie, a building site. Therefore, I will go back to my first question. What is Putin trying to achieve? Would just like to say that it will be an absolute travesty if the beautiful cities of Kiev and Odessa end up like a building site. So much history. So much beauty.
4. What is Putin's get out clause? How does he get out this without losing the role of leader or in fact losing his life? A made up reason for retreat or going nuclear?
5. Do you think that the Russian people will finally get the true message about what is really happening in Ukraine?
6. Do you think that the Russian people have the balls to take out Putin and his regime?
7. I think that it inevitable (barring some miracle) that NATO will end up going to war militarily if this continues. Putin will find a way of dragging us in militarily. If so, do you think that China will then pick a side or stay neutral?
8. Do you think that we should take Putin out now before point 7. is reached. There will be less land to retake for one. I'm also of the opinion that if this continues for a year plus then life won't be worth living for the poorest of people in every country.
9. Can we now say goodbye to tackling climate change?
How many of you are going to mention nuclear war to the above if we do a) or b) etc? It's going to happen anyway if NATO gets dragged in.
Regarding EUA
10. Do you think that we'll get any significant news whilst this WAR goes on?
11. If the answer is yes and we get news on a sale, who do you think the buyer(s) will be?
12. If there is a special dividend due to a sale whilst these sanctions are in place, is it still possible for the funds from the sale to be released to EUA shareholders.
13. Now with a bit of hindsight. What do you think the reason is for EUA wanting to join MOEX?
14. If NN are the buyer of some or all of what is on offer. Are they are able to still do this whilst their share is suspended on the LSE and the markets are shut in MOEX?
15. Are NN's funds frozen in any way ie from the banks that are sanctioned etc? Don't know enough about NN by the way.
16. Are the licence transfers to EUA on hold until this WAR has calmed down or is over?
17. Do you think that a) the sale is close after reading the statement by Piper about winding down operations in Russia OR b) business as usual until this WAR is over?
18. Are you
a) no longer invested at all in EUA but were? b) invested in EUA but have reduced your holding? c) invested in EUA and have increased your holding?
