This is so insane – Putin's strategic goal is to bring Ukraine back into Russia's orbit. What do they think will happen to these children when they grow up? After their formative experience of hiding in the bomb shelters from Russian missiles while their fathers and sometimes mothers guard the entrances with their lives? Will they want to be anywhere near the Russian orbit, to be subservient to Russians or to be their friends? Will they fuck.

Is that a Ukranian civilian telling Russian convoy with tanks and missiles to fuck off?
Big balls...
Big balls...
A lot of the misinformation seems designed to make the world feel better for leaving the Ukraine to fend for itself.
But they don't sadly.
You'd also think there is a lot of anti aircraft artillery in that convoy.. but it's Russia, so who knows.
That's sad. But I doubt any of that is Putin's objective. He just wants Ukraine's resources and couldn't care less about the people or human cost.
Ukraine don't have an air force. Gone on Day 1. Hope the EU/UK are getting land to land missiles to Ukraine post-haste.
As a Ukrainian, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong here. We have next to nothing in terms of resources, certainly nothing so valuable to provoke this existential struggle. It’s all about the people, actually - not just Ukrainians, but also not allowing Russians to think a democracy could ever work for them.
Sorry Rurik but that's a little inaccurate. I was reading about their resources this week as a reason for Putin's covetousness (Ukraine acting as a NATO buffer aside) :
From Ukraine's own Govt agency : Ukraine has extremely rich and complementary mineral resources in high concentrations and close proximity to each other. The country has abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury.

Economy, resources, and the fight to lay claim to the abundant rare earth elements that Ukraine is immensely rich of are the reasons to influence the country’s political leanings.
Oil and Gas
Ukraine today holds the second-biggest known gas reserves in Europe, excluding Russia’s gas reserves in Asia, albeit largely untapped. When it comes to its natural gas, it has about 1.09 trillion cubic meters, which is an unimaginable amount. But to give you an idea, it’s enough to be stretched around the earth many times. This is second only to Norway’s known resources of 1.53 trillion cubic meters.

You've lots of good farmland though...
Salt n pepper chips sounds more appealing
Speaking of natural resources, this is pretty interesting:
Basically there is evidence that some European environmental NGOs made a hard turn to anti-nuclear activism shortly after receiving sizable tranche of funding from Gazprom. Germany's decision to close all of their nuclear plants was cited as the main reason for its pro-Russian stance until recently.

...a decision they're now reviewing apparently.
Yup.
There's going to a be a very large hit taken by banks and all the various legal and accounting cunts who help move the Russian money.
No, those banks have been subject to AML and KYC regulations for years. All the regulatory paperwork will be in order and they will demonstrate that all guidelines were followed at all relevant times that may or may not have occurred. The check box will be ticked, I'd like to see you stand up in court and claim the box wasn't ticked, when the tick will be there in the box for everyone to see. Good luck.
There's a new sheriff in town though
Who's this?
Yea like that Natwest branch taking in a million quid a week cash from a jeweller. Nothing funny to see here. All good. What’s this massive fucking fine?
Admit breach, get banged.
Interesting to watch this a few years later ...
In Ireland, some fat cunt.
Is he a ginger?
Fuck no
