Dominic Raab says "there will be severe economic consequences if Russia installs a puppet regime in Ukraine". Wow, I bet poor Putin is shaking in his boots! :rolleyes:
Does anybody find Raab authoritative and convincing? Just imagine him leading the country. I'd sooner rely on my dog!
aye there will be.. we wont have any gas for a start.;)
Ridiculous situation. Heads should roll! It's all about making money and not safeguarding our economy and infrastructure.Quote:

The rest comes from armchair pundits and news outlets :D
its enough to be a major issue tho, especially as it goes through ukraine. most is from norway i think.
I know, but we are too reliant across the board on resources from overseas.Quote:

And vegans too. Instead of worrying about Ukraine we should be looking at ways to harvest this increasingly plentiful supply.Quote:

dont get into wars at all... its pointless unless attacked of course.
Imagine Russia expanded into the countries around America, or rather islands like Cuba, Jamaica etc. That's exactly what the US is doing by expanding NATO ever closer to Russia's borders.As usual we mostly get the pro Western view on this from BBC, The Times, etc. Simon Jenkins was right in the Guardian last week, when he said it's got nothing to do with us.
