Where do you live?
Where do you live?My husband is completely freaking out. We have applied for Irish passports (am Irish family) and we are just about to jump in car to cash and carry as he wants to buy water dried food medicines candles batteries etc.
my husband is a very highly respected highly qualified scientist and I am now scared to death
This is the thing - all well talking about sanctions but London is partly built on dirty Russian money. We housed so many oligarchs and other despots here and their families. We are hardly in any position to crow about sanctions when the times were good.The amount of oligarch money that's been laundered by the UK is disgusting
RT news is funded by the Kremlin. It’s 100% bias - I wouldn’t listen to them.The RT news is almost positive about the whole situation, articles that state nuclear weapons won’t be put in Ukraine, there won’t be a war etc. Western media seems far more hyped. I’m struggling.
I don’t see how going to Ireland will help unless you’re Ukrainian?My husband is completely freaking out. We have applied for Irish passports (am Irish family) and we are just about to jump in car to cash and carry as he wants to buy water dried food medicines candles batteries etc.

Most likely to happen is that fuel prices go up. The Russians don’t want a full blown war, especially on Western soil so I doubt there would be any military action. I can see the Russians maybe hacking things to disrupt the West but nothing too bloody. In my own personal opinion I don’t think we will see much of a change and the only change will the fuel price increases.Can someone please explain in the most simplest of forms what this means for us here in uk?
I mean, RT is a Russian state controlled network. The same state that is staging provocations left and right and, on its Twitter, claims that "Russia has made and is making efforts to resolve all matters peacefully."The RT news is almost positive about the whole situation, articles that state nuclear weapons won’t be put in Ukraine, there won’t be a war etc. Western media seems far more hyped. I’m struggling.
I dislike Trump but he was known as a hothead and mad so the other countries didn't really fuck with him. There was actually quite a lot of peace when he was in power Ironically they think they can walk all over Biden, Afghanistan falls and Russia invades Ukraine, the world stage thinks he's weak. I worry it will be China invading Taiwan next .I do wonder how things would have been different with trump in power. Seems like all the diplomatic negotiations yeilded nothing and troops crossed over shortly after the Olympic flame was extinguished as lots predicted.
Looks like the UK has never been importing as much as they do right now from Russia.

Can’t help but agree. Detest Trump but Biden is not the one. With the population of America being what it is, I can’t believe he’s the best they can do.I dislike Trump but he was known as a hothead and mad so the other countries didn't really fuck with him.

Here's a prime example of what Russian state propaganda looks like -
Then again I look at Boris and feel the sameVote Kanyejoking of course. There must be someone who is strong but also sane ?
That’s one way of looking at it, but it seemed to me that he spent most of his presidency trying to dismantle (or weaken) the alliances that had kept Europe largely peaceful since WW2. He certainly liked to portray a strongman image in his dealings with NATO, the EU etc., but he was far less bullish when meeting with the likes of Putin and Kim Jong-un.I dislike Trump but he was known as a hothead and mad so the other countries didn't really fuck with him.

I wonder how much dirty russian money is floating round our economy ?This by Edward Lucas a few weeks ago lays Britain’s position bare
“Britain stands out not for its mettle in resisting the Russian regime but for aiding and abetting it. Kremlin cronies have for years used London to launder their reputations and ill-gotten gains… One reason for inaction may be the role that wealthy, murky figures, often with Russian connections, play in the Conservative Party’s finances. From the shadows of Whitehall, I hear repeated grumbles that the prime minister is personally resistant to any discussion of this issue.”
Imagine if he could tell us what he actually knows
Honestly, I don't know - I have my favourites but I'm aware they're biased, too.Thanks, genuinely appreciate this. Is there any more balanced and reliable news sources?
yes as a nation I don't think we can criticise anyone's leader with us having a lying, cheating psycho as our PM.Then again I look at Boris and feel the same
