Putin won't like that.
I wonder if there's anyone high up in Russia (eg. in the military) who could take Putin out if he ordered a nuclear strike?
That's my fear if things are going badly for him; that he might do something really desperate.Comment

I'm hoping Turkey closes the Black Sea to Russian warships.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan didn't tell Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Turkey would close the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to Russian warships, a senior Turkish official told Middle East Eye on Saturday.
"President Erdogan didn't promise to close the straits," the official, who is directly familiar with the call, said. "Turkey hasn't made a decision to close the straits to Russian ships yet."

I don't know how professional the Russian army are, or whether their hearts and minds are truly in this, but they won't be anywhere near as motivated as the Ukrainians. As the Americans found out in Vietnam, strength in numbers and superior firepower are no guarantee when you're up against people defending their own country.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Germany just announced that they will be spending more than 2% a year on defence, currently 1.4%, big increase in real terms. Strategically, not going well for Putin.Comment

Definitely, although I don't know how easy it is to identify who owns what when most Russian assets are held by a web of offshore companies.Comment

UK supposedly legislating this week.

Won't be easy, especially with our legal system, but I hope they go big.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
