DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/60589965 Several of these hoaxes (obvious ones as well) were shared by the Iranian / Lebanese journalist a few people had mentioned in here a few days ago. Worth bearing in mind when considering how seriously to take people.Several shared by [mention=73081]Steve55[/mention] - which is not surprising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 4 hours ago, WATTOO said: It's the indirect fall out which will hit us hardest as prices will rocket and supply will be curtailed. so basically Norway will now be expected to supply Germany and France etc as well as ourselves which will cause a huge spike in prices and impact on availability. As if they aren't rocketing enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Price controls have to come up for discussion. We are basically at war without the fighting at the moment. Profiteering should not be allowed. For once I am in complete agreement with you.A lot of the issues have bugger all to do with supply and everything to do with speculating leeches manipulating the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Putin's in a bad mood, this could be the final straw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just now, The DA said: If Putin's in a bad mood, this could be the final straw. Where would he attack though, Poland? You would imagine he would have to take Ukraine first. Or if he goes for more of Georgia would anyone be any more angry than they are now? Or I guess he could convince Belarus to go into Lithuania so the Russians have a land bridge to Kaliningrad? Let's just hope it doesn't come to any of these or random missile strikes against "the west" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Does anyone see a way back for Russia in terms of all these global brands that are pulling out? Even in a situation where they back off, apologise fully and offer reparations (none of which will happen) I don't see the catastrophic loss of business that has withdrawn so far, going back for a very, very long time indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Poland has 27 Mig-29s, Bulgaria has 19 and Sovakia 11. Not a game-changer but they'd put u a good fight if Ukraine has the pilots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly enough there are f16s based in Ramstein which happens to be the base that Poland dropped off the Migs 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I might have had a couple of beers but it's starting to look awfully like the following scene. Although Putin's a tad smaller than Marvin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
