Read this AM from Moscow ....1 Mar 2022 07:50
...two stories of bussines people two companies, one advertising the other event planner, combined employees 500 in Moscow. Middle class middle income wages. Both Companies survived covid and had just achieved full order books for the spring/summer. On Friday they were advertising for staff by monday all events cancelled, except a few state " gatherings" No overseas manufacturers have even adopted a " wait and see" approach,instead mass cancelations or not accepting calls at all.
Today 500 muscovites are out of work.
Putrin has to be desperately looking for a way out and China has to step up and give him one.
Russia is not full of tired downtrodden pi55 poor " fishwives" ground down by a life of communism any more, happy that their is potatoes on the shelves.
As an aside i saw a 20 mile convoy of troop carriers on the road to the capital and couldnt help thinking there are a few old Tornado pilots out there thinking, that would be like fish in a barrel for drones and Jets !! Lets hope the Drones have arrived eh ???
As for eua the doom mongers will ply their poison but fact remnains Putin has enough backs up in every other sector he wont be keen to add mining to the list of rich Russians with the hump ! All my own thoughts not advice ill be buying sub 10p and holding you lot do what ya like :) gla Mental.
