2022-04-20 Russia tests new intercontinental ballistic nuke - as Putin warns the hypersonic 'Satan II' weapon that 'can destroy UK' will 'provide food for thought for our enemies'

He even used that same phrase I did a few days before the launch, "food for thought"! Could it be he reads CUK?!

That's one of the flaws in MAD (mutually assured destruction). It relies on both sides acting in a rational and measured way.

If the other side does something abhorrent (like invading a neighbouring country and bombing civilians), you're limited in how you can respond, especially if they've gone a bit mad and started waving their nuclear willy at you.

But so far he hasn't used his nuclear willy so its working the only country to use them in conflict was the USA. Same with poison gas the repercussions are so great few go there.

The man is obviously insane then.

For example, right now he is busy trying to finalise a deal with India which will decimate the UK IT contracting industry

Who cares about the UK contracting industry? We only exist to fill the gaps companies have. If they don't have gaps or can fill them elsewhere, we're defunct. It's not going to happen but even if it did, that's life.

Russia has imposed personal restrictions on 287 British MPs and banned them from entering the country on Wednesday.

Boris Johnson said the MPs sanctioned by Russia should regard it as a “badge of honour”.

The Kremlin accused the MPs of fuelling “unwarranted Russophobic hysteria”.

The ministry said the sanctions on members of the House of Commons were in response to Britain imposing similar restrictions on 386 members of its own lower house of parliament on March 11.

A translation of a statement reported by the state-owned Russian news agency RIA Novosti read: “In response to the decision taken on March 11 this year by the British government to include 386 deputies of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on the sanctions list, on the basis of reciprocity, personal restrictions are being introduced against 287 members of the House of Commons of the British Parliament.

Good way to find MPs with secret Russian links perhaps?

I thought he was going to wait until Sweden and Finland got their Nato applications in.

That's what he wants us to think, then he can have the element of surprise. One doesn't really know how worried to be, which in itself is quite worrying.
