Left Back Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 4 hours ago, BFTD said: We just watched Threads last night. Bit eerie. The main difference seemed to be that the US were way more aggressive and assumed the Russians were bluffing. Spoiler: they weren't. It's inevitable we'll end up with a couple of absolute bawheeds in charge of America and Russia eventually, so it might as well be now, I suppose. Where would someone get hold of this film Threads? Lots of people have spoken about it on this thread. I lived in the time it supposedly terrified everyone but I’ve never seen it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you can get a DVD on eBay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Remember the disruption caused by one ship getting stuck in the Suez Canal? Well Maersk have just pulled out of Russia - https://trans.info/en/russia-maersk-281292 Quote The move represents a full departure from the sanctions-hit country. Maersk has stopped accepting new bookings on all of its services (both, sea, air and land transport) to and from Russia. The company has also decided to sell all of its assets in Russia following its annual meeting of shareholders. That's really going to hit the Russian economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Google translation from a Ukrainian journalist. Quote Roman Tsimbalyuk 2 h. Two armored personnel carriers of the 37th separate motorized rifle brigade (military unit 69647, Kyakhta) during the fighting in the Makarov area (Kyiv region) out of more than 1,500 military personnel, lost about 50% of their personnel, a lot of soldiers were injured of varying severity. A serviceman of the tank battalion of the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade accused brigade commander Colonel Medvedev Yuri of the death of his friends and colleagues. Having chosen a convenient moment, during the battle, he ran over the tank commander standing next to him, injuring both his legs. Now Colonel Medvedev is in a hospital in Belarus, waiting for monetary compensation for combat wounds received during the "special military operation to protect the Donbass." Colonel Medvedev was awarded the Order of Courage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Putin demanding gas payments from "unfriendly states" in rubles is one to watch. Short term it helps him shore up his currency but it makes it even more likely that the EU will go through with transitioning away from trade with Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
