    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Ukrainian propaganda is just so much better than the Russian variety.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I wasn't aware of it being withdrawn. Or maybe I was, but I've forgotten it. However, I do remember reading something about Russia having access to it. Presumably, the same veiled threat (to remove access to it) can be made to Russia? I've no idea how it works, or if this would affect Ukraine...

    Here is the news agency who reported on the Trump/Musk-Zelensky call: There's some interesting stuff in there.... https://www.axios.com/2024/11/08/musk-trump-zelensky-ukraine-call This may be the time to impart something I - really - didn't see coming. It was only a reply to a tweet, so there...

    That sounds very plausible. Very Trump. A powerplay. The implication of course being that Starlink access can be withdrawn at any time.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I'm a bit confused. Is that the most recent version? The date is July 25? I quite like the content though. But not the ambiguity/vagueness. I completely agree on Putin. He won't change and he won't stop.

    Things seem to be moving, but Musk? In on the phone call with Zelensky?

    Where? C'mon, c'mon, it was only this morning. You can do this Ray ;) P.S. Yes, it was Jake Broe. Lucky that one of us has got a bit of memory left, eh? (y)

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    It may be useful to read beyond the headlines. What can we conclude? What are the implications? For instance, if Trump is considering a European peacekeeping force to man an 800 mile long border, it might mean he doesn't trust Putin not to attack again, even if he has signed a peace...

    It's from Paul Warburg again. Here's the video: Note that this video is from 4 months ago. Oh, and be sure to watch to the end.

    Jake Broe's update on the Trump election win for Ukraine: There's a lot of meat in this, but the detrimental effect of increased US and OPEC oil production is from 24:15 to 29:00. The Trump presidency could inadvertently accelerate the Russian collapse...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Perhaps my post was a little naive, but note that the discussion has moved on since I posted that yesterday morning. I would have thought that Zelensky will be focused on funding the war effort as best he possibly can, rather than risking scarce public funds on a risk-all punt on DJT stock...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I understand. There's no need to apologise. We are all different, and you are closer to the effects of the war than many on here. Of particular interest to me is the gradual economic collapse of Russia, which I believe if left alone, will happen. The only question is when. Nobody is going to...

    Not for the first time, you've reined me in @raymondo. You are quite right. Just because I want Russia to collapse, undergo civil war and be dismembered, it doesn't mean that others do, including western leaders.
