Saw this and it made me chuckle.

This made me smile and yes, absolutely pointless especially considering who my MP is.

FWIW, I have written to my MP, informing him that I think NATO should accept Ukraine's application and asked him tell HMG that. I don't know if it will do any good at all, but I'd rather do something, than nothing at all. :shrug:

There is a part in this thread specifically laying out the reasons why this is total oversimplification of the reality . Tweet no.17, to be prcise 1574668568519655424

Reports that Lyman is now completely cut off, trapping the Russian forces.

As if anyone believes a word that Russia says.

You're forgetting Corbyn. It's his fault too. And Milliband and his chaos.

Plus, if house prices tumble, a lot of people will be in negative equity, just like the last time interest rates went through the roof. Who was in power then? Oh yeah, the Tories...

I suspect any NATO/US response will be a mixture of all of those, but I still think the China/India piece will be key, even if it's only for 6 months. The Russian economy is fast approaching breaking point and if China and India stop trading in the rouble, evenfor a limited period, it would be...

There's a piece from the Telegraph that looks at what the West's (ie USA) options are, and basically it says the West has a choice between vertical retaliation, or horizontal retaliation. Vertical is resonding to a nuke with a bigger nuke, but that would lose all credibility with the rest of the...

Thought this thread on the reasons why Russia is actually bothering with blatantly fraudulant referenda was very interesting: 1574078065143353344

Everything you needed to know was in my post. You didn't need to read the Guardian, so I figured you either hadn't read my post or if you did, you didn't understand it.

It wasn't a Guardian opinion - it was the opinion of the Nomura bank, if you could be bothered to actually read, or indeed, to understand.

From the Guardian: "The Japanese bank Nomura now expects the pound to slide below parity with the dollar, to $0.95 by the first quarter of next year, and acidly notes: “Hope is not a strategy.”"

Well, whilst I'm not what I'd class as poor, I wasn't a top rate taxpayer, so this budget doesn't really help me. Instead, we've now cancelled our UK holiday that we had booked for February in the Lake District and any extra money I do get from this mini-budget will go towards paying off debt...

Glad you enjoyed it - that site can end up being a bit of a rabbit hole. What frustrates me as a failed scientist (got my Masters but not good enough and didn't want to do a PhD) is when non-scientists sneer and say, "Well, it's only a theory...", as if that invalidates whatever it may be...
