for days Putin's regime was committed to finish military exercises and then return to barracks

''Seek a commitment from Russia to stop meddling in Ukrainian affairs and provide the same commitment from the Nato side.''

you are certainly good for a laugh

''A complete waste of time''

Not another one. Do you want to be invested in a bank that doesn't make investments to increase earnings?.
As I have already said - do you think that 100% of profits made are paid in dividends with no investments made?. If the BOD had a better investment to make then they wouldn't be investing in lloyds shares.

you are a red in the bed

with many hundreds of thousands where English is not a first language.

''although still a minority, regard themselves as being very much Russian. That's what led to Russia stepping things up.''

I think you will find that there are millions in the UK that would regard themselves as another nationality before British - maybe you think that India or P aki stan should invade England to take over London where the majority are not ethnic British.

''and the crucial bit here is "per share"; after all, if earnings stay the same but the number of shares in issue goes down, earnings per share automatically go up without senior management having to do a thing.''

who are these imbeciles.
As I said earlier a £2 Billion investment buying Barclays shares or other investments would increase earnings coming into Lloyds coffers, but there are idiots who think that investing in Lloyds shares is somehow different (cheating).

Are you a Russian spy?
ffs wake up

''Get round the table for goodness sake.''

Are you having a laugh. It is now clear that Putin has been planning an invasion for months/years. They said day after day after day recently that they were just conducting exercises - he cannot be trusted - someone needs to take him out - preferably from within Russia.
Nothing was going to stop him invading apart from Ukraine just handing themselves over to the authority of Putin.

I have NEVER heard in the media about NATO being obsessed for Ukraine to join - that is not the case.
The stance of Nato iwas that they were not going to be dictated to be Russia about who can and who cannot join Nato.
Nato had zero plans for a Ukrainian invitation.

''LBG is down, as usual, much more than peers. Why? the answer is above.''

don't think so.
All banks are down a lot more than the market due the possibility of city sanctions against Russia

There is talk of Russia being excluded from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication system

I would be happy to see them started tomorrow.

''The West have an unhealthy obsession with Ukraine becoming a Nato member''

did you make this up out of thin air?
I think listening to our news media would be more accurate than you.

''you are cheery picking post, as per usual.

I haven't cherry picked a post (no quotes from your previous posts) - just pointed out the timing of your return.

whimper

I would like to think that the Ukrainians will put up a better fight than the Afgan armed forces did against the Taliban - they basically gave up the country with a wimpier.
