What a bloody mess disgrace to human democracy and humanity. Put a bullet through Putin's head. As Ukrainians run for their lives in shock and dismay...
I'll dig out a quote by Dostoyevsky that says the sameFWIW this is a pretty good analysis of Putin's motives by an expat Russian.

This one? It struck a chord with me many years ago.I'll dig out a quote by Dostoyevsky that says the same
It is actually the Russian mafia who are most likely to stop Putin, particularly if their overseas assets are frozen, they would not be happy, particularly in Londongrad.
"True story of how London became home to the Russian super-rich. A dazzling tale of incredible wealth, ferocious disputes, beautiful women, private jets, mega-yachts, the world’s best footballers – and chauffeur-driven Range Rovers with tinted windows.
A group of buccaneering Russian oligarchs made colossal fortunes after the collapse of communism – and many of them came to London to enjoy their new-found wealth. Londongrad tells for the first time the true story of their journeys from Moscow and St Petersburg to mansions in Mayfair, Knightsbridge and...."
Billions parked in ‘Londongrad’ undermines Britain’s tough talk on Russia sanctions
London: The ease with which Russian billionaires can stash billions of dollars in property and other assets in London is taking the bite out of the UK’s tough talk on sanctions against Russia for any incursions into Ukraine.
Reports this week that a key piece of legislation designed to fight money-laundering and dirty money inflows into the UK from Russia and elsewhere may be delayed aren’t helping.
As the West strives to take a united stance on possible sanctions, Britain is struggling to shake off its reputation as the place to be for wealthy Russians looking to park their billions – one that has earned the British capital the “Londongrad” moniker. The continued ability to bring funds from Russia into Britain with secret ownership of assets could dent the effectiveness of sanctions, said Tyler Kustra, a professor of politics at the University of Nottingham.
The price of petrol in the UK is £1.50 per litre A$2.82 a litre - diesel £1.53 a litre.Interest rates affect our market.
What is unleaded now, heading towards $2/litre?
And a shop at the supermarket, that's going up now.
So..inflation, and pressure to tighten monetary policy.
Russia-Ukraine: Stefanik says Biden's 'weakness' has made world less safe
House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik issued tough criticism of President Biden's "failed leadership" after Russia invaded Ukraine despite warnings from the White House and U.S. allies to stand down.www.foxnews.com
are they ??Don't understand European country alliances so apologies if this is a stupid question.
Was looking at an informative map on the WSJ which shows where Russia military is invading Ukraine. Russia is executing a ground troop incursion from Ukraine's north border with Belarus. Presumably these troops will be the ground troops marching in to take Kyiv.
My question: is Belarus complicit and aiding Russia's invasion via the north? I ask this because presumably Belarus has allowed Russian troops to build up in their country on the border with Ukraine in readiness for this invasion.
One of those US fund managers chasing the (then) 8% dividend yields was Jeremy Grantham's GMO. It's been a poor performer since 2020 at least, so it's likely to be way under water by now.Foreign funds now own 81% of all shares listed on Moscow Exchange -bourse
Global foreign funds increased their holdings of Russian stocks to more than 80% of all shares trading on the Moscow Exchange in the first half of this year, the bourse said on Thursday, attracted by higher dividend yields than in other emerging markets.www.reuters.com
Doesn't sound like that drop is going to be affecting ordinary Russians... investors from the United States and Canada accounted for 54% of the total, with 22% from the United Kingdom and 21% from the rest of Europe
A bloody mess is an understatement...What a bloody mess disgrace to human democracy and humanity. Put a bullet through Putin's head. As Ukrainians run for their lives in shock and dismay...

Yes, the leader of Belarus is a pro Russian dictator.Don't understand European country alliances so apologies if this is a stupid question.

are they ??
we have had the same media deceiving us over health matters for two years
are they 'marching; ( near Belarus ) or cleaning out government and CIA funded 'terrorist ' units and mercenaries ( some of them proudly Neo-Nazi )
time will tell .. but this may yet take out the underlying opposition to Zelensky in his own government
( Russia has enough helicopters and heavy air transport to get Kiev in hours/days , since the government side of the Ukraine is divided and faction-ridden )
BTW European politics is stupid and greedy ( nearly all of it )
