    Simple solutions to these ...."problems".

    Mafiosi Dwarfstan should've stayed put and not embark on some "illusions of grandeur" tour....now his "military" is getting destroyed, mobilization is for $hit, no access to Western tech(or very little), Chinos getting Dwarfstan oil..."on the cheap", list goes on.:grin::grin:

    All UK citizens are paying 4 times as much now than we were 18 months ago. It's likely the same in Europe.

    I've bought a onesie. No need for heating so it's not bothering me but for the elderly and infants it's a different story.

    That's not really my point. This probably isn't even the most you have paid in your lifetime for gas. it's not unprecedented. You are going to have to suck it up.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with Russia's 2024 election if this is still going on by then.

    If Dwarfstan isn't removed or taken out by then....the results are a foregone conclusion.

    Gee maybe if the Germans et al had listened to us and not made themselves dependent on Russian gas they wouldn't have that problem.

    Maybe if they hadn't let a little swedish girl talk them in to closing their necessary power plants because she was anxious because she suffers from a plethora of mental illnesses and her parents intentionally spun her up for views, they wouldn't have that problem.

    My point was that gas wholesale prices have quadrupled recently. They now account for a much higher proportion of a households bills than at anytime in history. This is because Ukraine decided to fight it out with Russia with the help of NATO, the subsequent application of sanctions on Russia led to zero gas imports and the inevitable quadrupling of gas prices.

    This isn't rocket science.

    Ukraine decided to fight it out with Russia?

    Is that really what you think happened?

    Americans like to state it's rusty old weapons, merely to appease the anti war lobby in USA. They're probably telling porkies. It's just as likely it's high end state of the art weapons being sent to testing grounds in the Ukraine.

    That's not the point. Ithought I'd throw that in there in order to not back you into a corner and give you an easy get out.

    Good choice.

    If you think Ukraine is to blame for this war, then i hope your gas keeps going up.

    Do you not revile the steaming pile mate ? the premise of your Op is purile nonsense .. as first off Russia has not being destroyed.... nor is their economy.

    Your cost benefit analysis is non existent .. just another naked nonsense claim that doesn't make sense.

    Me too. The economy should then shrink to a sustainable and practical level and the green economy will be the only path to take, Yahs plan coming to fruition.

    40% of Russia's total supply of tanks including its old reserves of tanks have been destroyed or captured in Ukraine. An unknown number have been damaged. Most of theor remaining tanks are old reserve tanks which have sat unused in fields for decades and many do not even work.

    Watch the video of Russia conscripts without tents or winter clothing, a lack of winter boots, no body armor and helmets which don't even work. A sad state of affairs for Russia and they are going to have a difficult winter.

    The hard reality is on the day he ordered the invasion of Ukraine Putin declared that Poland, the Baltic states, Hungary, and Romania had to submit to Russian domination. He literally declared he wanted to control and dominate a third of NATO. He made it crystal clear Ukraine was only on the way to his final goals. So we either make sure Putin fails in Ukraine or we end up in a much more expensive WW3.

    This is the cheaper and less risky option.
