Russian invasion of Ukraine

Elsewhere, the US is concerned that Russia is well insulated against sanctions and will increasingly form a Eurasian block with China India and Pakistan and even concerns about some closer co operation with Brazil and this will quicken moves by many to increasingly move away from SWIFT and the US dollar.
I cannot imagine China, India and Pakistan ever forming a block. Given some of the mutual loathing there it's about as likely as an Israeli Palestinian block.

Yesterday BP withdrew as a major shareholder in the Russian State owned Rosneft, costing the Russian govt directly $35B. Today Shell withdrew from Russia, including a 25% stakehold in the largest LNG plant in Russia. The European arm of Russias largest bank Sberbank looks like failing. Many large international companies are getting out of dodge.

What is happening to the Ukrainians is unforgivable, but Putins actions in this war will hit the Russian people hard.

How awesome would it have been if BP sold its stake to Ukraine for a dollar.
 
The interesting thing about all this is that today there was a clip on a US newscast showing a guy who lives in Ukraine telling them that he fears the gangs in Ukraine more than the Russians..
Apparently Zelenky handed out weapons to the civillians and some were gang members who have created more crime in the cities than any damage the Russians have done...Also they had a clip of a woman with a rifle in her hand and told the reporter that she is fighting for the New World Order(Soros and co.)
Theres just 2 scenarios that were posted today...can you believe them or the news that shows bodies and damage from old footage of Saravejo,or the fighter planes that were bombing Kyev that were fact checked and found to be 2020 Russian air show in Moscow with war sounds dubbed in...

I said all along that there is more to this than what we are seeing....I dont really believe anything until it is genuine ....but then again in todays world,what is bloody genuine...
Do you believe the floods in SE QLD and Nth NSW being reported all over MSM.... or do you just pick.and choose?
 
I think the last time they used it to power eastern Ukraine was 2000 or 2001. It can be recommissioned anytime. Some say that the gas and oil companies like it decommissioned to make Europe reliant on their energy.
The reason Putin went for Chernobyl was he wouldn't incur street skirmishes. It's a desolate area. He can pass through without resistance.

A good estimate is that as an aggressor you need at least 6 times more soldiers on the ground to overcome the defence, as Russians had about 150k soldiers before the attack, and they needed more than 600k. It is not a surprise that they cannot occupy even some small towns!
Putin's only "quick solution"are biological/biochemical, nuclear and thermobaric weapons, and hopefully he still did not deploy them.

Had a laugh as I read it, though to be fair, you can often look at the Murdoch press and the narrative of their sister papers in capital cities on the same topic are polar opposites.

Haven't watched it since Sunday, but it was kinda funny watching Russia Today with British and American so called journalists parroting on like Baghdad Bob used to do.

I like to check out some of that which those with different thoughts are looking at, but can only venture a little way into the rabbit hole of conspiracies before common sense screams that there is nothing to gain by venturing further.
 
I would imagine that assets like this would be frozen by Russia's government.

Won't be sold anytime soon and a massive loss for the shareholders.

Mate..........the asset you talking about.....is owned by the Russian Government. The "shareholders" are the Russian people (more accurately probably a handful of Oligarchs). Unlikely they are going to "freeze" their own asset, but will have to trade on without $35B of BP's money. The massive loss is borne by Russian people.
 
Let me get this straight.....EVERY news outlet in the world, that is posting images of missile attacks, massive damage, death and destruction in Ukraine, as well as all the social media posts showing same.....ARE ALL in on it, all in the pocket of the cabal?

Mainstream Media is the greatest tool used for propoganda.
They mixed truth with falsehood to blur the line, point being they present the narrative they want in the end. We have enough evidence of that from the past few decades.

'Repeat a lie often enough & it becomes the truth'.

He's still waiting for someone to tell him how the floods were manufactured by Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi in order to steal children for an international child exploitation ring. Oh and throw in some nazis.
 

Isnt it ironic....dontcha think?

Again, let me get this straight. If I think it is unlikely that ALL of the worlds media and all of the independent media are part of a massive conspiracy and part of an international cabal that have all got together to agree to publish fake evidence of missile attacks, devastation and civilian deaths, then I'm the whacko and delusional?

Righto.....
 
Do you still get RT? Seems shut down by the Australian government here.

RT is actually useful aside from it's propaganda in that it seems to report news earlier than western sources about worldwide events usually 4 to 6 hours. Just read that Ukraine will receive 71 Migs from Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria based out of Polish airfields. That will give them parity with Russian air power atm because for reasons unknown they have only comitted less than 5% of their air force.
Even Sky news has some reasonable reporting, just not once the vampires come out.

Seriously though, the thing that will hold Putin back the most is your word that I highlighted above, in that he doesn't command a committed force. Sure, there will be a percentage amongst them that believes in the objectives no matter, but this isn't specialised units attacking Georgia.

These forces a group of mostly young men that have had much greater access to travel the world gaining knowledge and friendships, compared to those that were marching into Afghanistan 40 plus years ago or still guarding walls dividing countries a decade later.

Wake up dude. It's a conspiracy. Soros, Gates, Biden, Obama and the Clinton's own all the mainstream news.

It's obvious the world is flat and no one has ever flown to the moon. This is just another fake war in a long list of fake stuff.
