P*** weak rationale provided in a vain attempt to extract ones self from a crazy notion. Some appear to hold to the comcept of "When you're in a hole, keep digging!"

well if they dug sideways attempting to form an upward ramp , that MIGHT work , however that doesn't seem to be an option being considered , currently

so far it looks to me deeper and deeper and hoping heavy rain doesn't fall ( or maybe full of water IS the strategy so they can swim to the top edge )

It's real. Thought I posted this before. There's video of the aftermath as well. Ukrainians standing around thinking the Russian tank was one of there's. Just before the tank rolls up one of the Ukrainians questions if it's one of theirs.
 
Russia invades Ukraine, countries respond. Sanctions imposed.

Western companies leasing to Russian airlines have their planes seized. And now China figures it has to take a side.

The risk of Russian invasion of Ukraine is now approaching certainty.

What implications are there for investment markets ?

and now 101 days in, since the eastern horde spilled across Ukrainian lands

Ukraine's central bank has more than doubled its interest rate to 25% to the highest level for any European country. The move is intended to slow soaring inflation and prevent a further collapse of its currency following Russia's invasion in February.
  • The World Bank predicts that Ukraine's economy could shrink by as much as 45% this year.
  • The rate of inflation - or the cost of living - has risen to 17% in Ukraine and is on track to hit 20% this year, according to the country's central bank.
  • The National Bank of Ukraine said the benchmark interest rate increase - from 10% to 25% - would help protect citizens' savings from being eaten by soaring inflation.
  • Ukraine's currency, the hryvnia, has also come under heavy pressure since Russia's invasion, falling sharply in value. The central bank said it hoped the rate rise would ease some of that strain and stabilise the currency.
  • It is Ukraine's first rate increase since the war broke out, with the bank signalling it would move to reduce rates again once inflation was back under control.
  • More than $100bn of infrastructure damage to Ukrainian cities has been caused by artillery fire and airstrikes, according to the Kyiv School of Economics, while 14 million citizens have been forced to flee their homes.
  • To mount its military defence, and support citizens who have lost their livelihoods, the government has rapidly increased its spending, pushing the budget deficit up 27% month on month to $7.7bn in May, according to Kyiv-based investment bank Dragon Capital. Banks have also been forced to accept that loans made to businesses in territory now controlled by Russia will probably never be repaid, another huge financial blow to the country's economy.
 
shame people seem to be suffering fatigue. War crimes still happening, as are politics. Europe is suffering the usual sclerotic argy -bargy.
I'd like Australia to send 100 Hawkei vehicles. (At least 2 Bushmasters have been blown up)
 
There was a huge shock when people realised how effective mechanised warfare was at killing during WWI because there was no precedent for it. I think people are feeling a similar way now seeing how effective the latest (non-nuclear) weapons and strategies are in Ukraine.
 
Don't know if this has been covered already. US now admits to 46 US military bio-labs in Ukraine after originally denying it and calling it Russian propaganda.
