Peter Zeihan has a short video up on the situation. I don't always agree with him, but he is good at getting to the core of things and explaining them simply. A decent watch regardless of your (ig)norance level. I sometimes need to try it twice, but it has always worked after a minute https://liveuamap.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 If this Telegraph article is true, the West have next to no leverage with sanctions. Its only suggestion is upping military expenditure to guard the ramparts.

SWIFT enables dollar hegemony. Russia leaving it hurts the USA which is why they didn't do it. Lol at Biden saying Putin wants to bring back the Soviet Union.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 There's also been a rush by some old style tankies to act as apologists for PutinSaw one post from an ex-FB acquaintance praising the Russians of Donbas gaining their independence.The same poster opposes Scottish Independence.Some on the left need to take a good hard look at themselves here and recognise that this invasion does no favours for the ordinary Ukrainians and Russians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
