Good catch @Razor. @HMS Astute, do you read the articles you post? Even that Bloomberg article about Mistral that you had posted, and the comment you had made, gave me the impression you had not read the link you were presenting.
russia just got kicked out of G8, an elite club consists of world's wealthiest countries and biggest advanced economies. the russian tycoons can no longer travel to europe and their assets have been frozen in world financial centres based in london and new york. in the mean time, the moscow stock exchange has plunged to the lowest recorded level and the russian billionaires are in very uncomfortable position to continue running their businesses as before.
the uk doesn't rely on any russian natural resources like germany, italy and other countries in eastern europe do. the us, uk, netherlands and poland etc are the only countries with the balls, putting more pressure and implementing tougher sanctions on russia. germany desperately needs to find alternative way to gain natural resources to run their economic powerhouse. if it continues this way, russians will always have the upper hand on those rely on it's oil/gas etc. in the uk, fracking is more and more favoured and popular as shown in recent polls although they are still a lot of oppositions. if we go ahead with it, we will be able to export and supply the natural resources, oil and gas etc to european countries on the continent.
G-8 is a nice opportunity for self aggrandizement, selfies, photo-shoot, nice dinners, for a bunch of self-centered leaders from countries that are on the decline (with exception).
Russia is not the one trying to disrupt the gas supplies. It is the EU that is sawing off the branch it is sitting on, on the "advice" of Washington.
so the world's largest global financial centres in london and new york are losing their grip because of russia? just lol. while the contribution made by russians billionaires, tycoons and businessmen to london's prosperity, economic activity and financial centre is just a drop of water in the pond. i'd strongly recommend you do some search on this issue before you brag about russia lol.
anyone that is so fond of russia and putin should go live in that cold, isolated big wasteland (with low living standard, inadequate welfare, infrastructure, education and healthcare systems, but a lot of nukes, nukes and nukes) where they will be working their @$$off to get a peanut a mount of money.Here is a picture of an angry crocodile:
No. Not because of Russia, but because of printing truckloads of paper currency of dwindling value. Ever heard of the Bretton-Woods Agreement? I bet you haven't.
Absolutely. I am waiting for UK to send them back to Russia along with their money. I think the French called the Brits out recently.
lol no wonders why the educated russian professionals, business tycoons , wealthy billionaires and their families and choose to live in a alpha++ global city like london.
anyone that is so fond of russia and putin is strongly recommended to should go live in that cold, isolated big wasteland (with low living standard, inadequate welfare, infrastructure, education and healthcare systems, but a lot of nukes, nukes and more nukes) where they will be working their @$$off to get a peanut a mount of money.I am really worried about this angry crocodile.
are you sure he is not a russian immigrant that lost his passport and no longer able access to public funds and look for a job? big bear lost in a big city.No, I think I will move to London. I heard it is very warm and cosy out there.
I am sure this is from the Soviet Socialist Commie Monarchy of the United Kingdom, where commie policies of housing benefits aren't helping, despite being a "wealthy" G-7 pipsqueak.
Russia seems to be warmer than this:it is significantly better than in russia and also in usa. no contest in this aspect.
its quite ironic seeing you dont live in russia.. thats a massive lol!Russia seems to be warmer than this:
Pardon me, but this seems to be from the US.Russia seems to be warmer than this:
Russia has more billionaires and billionaires per capita than the UK.
Common myth propagated by Western media that Russia has more nukes than everybody.
It is obvious you don't like the winter.
@Razor, we all know that all this "Ballistic Missile Defense" will not work if thousands of nukes and decoys are launched.
