I take zero pleasure in saying this, in fact the whole thing is making me sick, but when those Russian body bags start coming back home I think Putin will be under severe internal pressure to go, both from politicians and the Russian people.
I think he's gambling on an anti-West/pro-Russia wave of support, but we're already seeing anti-war demonstrations. I think he's got it wrong in so many ways.
The generation you see abroad now know how tough it was for those in the Soviet era, I don't think they're going to sit back and watch their own lifestyle, ambitions and futures be flushed down the toilet by Putin's crazy ideology. He's stabilised Russia, got it some respect back but now???
His cronies will be sharpening their knives...

Hopefully some better news soon?
(BritNRG outcome would be good too!)
Cannot believe the number of people apologising for how this cess pit of a market operates.
Fed by myths like "balanced books"...as someone just asked, where's all the stock coming from last couple of days?
The price is moved to wherever these people want it, they do what they want, all under the pretence of an orderly market (when it suits them) and without scrutiny.

Agreed. Was thinking the same this morning ie the one good thing to come out of this bloody awful mess (for us, not unfortunately for those fighting) is the Bod realise whilst they may not want to be rushed, time is not always your friend.
Agreed Tigra
This stock is OBVIOUSLY played outside of the normal rules of supply and demand. EVERY opportunity to pull it down is taken, regardless of the buying vs selling volumes.
It's been played every step of the way.
Not sold, not selling, only wish I could buy more at these prices.
They're determined to pollute the board. Thread after thread of S**t and people responding to bump it back up.
NOT ONE OF THEM HAS YOUR WELFARE IN MIND!
They are either short or want this even cheaper.
Ignore please
If you want a green economy, you'll need PGMs, which means you'll need to trade with Russia for them whether people like it or not, fact!
As Biden said "sanctions are there to hurt Putin and Russia, not us".
There obviously has to be some impact on the West, but you can see sanctions are measured.
There is also no appetite for direct military intervention.
Hopefully this will de-escalate soon, for all concerned.

Stop bring so f'ing sanctimonious.
There's not been many posts on here that haven't expressed concern at the actual and potential loss of life and suffering in Ukraine.
But you've also got to remember a lot have their own futures tied in to Eurasia's viability too. OK, maybe not life & death, but probably future quality of life.
It's Putin with blood on his hands, not us.
is demand. Timelines have gone to s**t but the deal is still on.
Politics and war is politics and war, not business.
Whoever wanted our assets yesterday will still want them tomorrow.
The price has been trashed for completely obvious reasons, but can someone tell me who's still buying if it's a bust?
Thanks Parfett
Laid a challenge this morning regards the much quoted "If" poem, not many passed the test today.
Sanctions mainly focused on finance and technology, so Eurasia flying under that 'radar', so far.
I think these will have some bite and yes, Putin really isn't making many friends here, internationally or domestically.
(Not sure how much China is bankrolling him and ergo how long he can carry on.)
Ukrainians not backing down, Russian bodies coming back already, it's not going to be a bloodless Coup.
Biden confirmed no direct military support.
I'm hoping sanctions bite soon, common sense prevails and lives, bodies and futures are saved.
I'll admit I didn't think he'd 'pull the trigger', but as I said the other day, I think this has more impact on timelines than outcome. I still believe that.
It is what it is. I hope this is over soon for for everyone's sake.
