    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I imagine what he really wants is people who will “let them get on with it”, no?

    You've only got one song

    Social media really helps - takes much less time to nick songs off other teams now.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    No-one cares. Do you still think the best course of action in Ukraine is to let Putin have his way with them? And then ban Ukraine from NATO as the only sanction? Not a great night so far for Grendel Chamberlain.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So that’s a yes, then? Even Big Nige had the humility to admit he was wrong on a day like today, it’s not too late for you. Your track record on being wrong about foreign policy is almost as bad as his.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Clueless. The market moves are significant even if they’re not at systemic risk levels. But to claim that Putin doesn’t care about the ruble is laughable. He’s spent the past seven years trying to guard against this scenario. He’s already summoned a gang of oligarchs to the Kremlin this...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Are you sure about that? French and German stocks down 4% Major European banks down 10% or more Sterling with its biggest fall in two years Major US indices either in correction or bear market territory Eastern European markets with their worst day in two years Russian benchmark index down as...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Which markets were you originally referring to then? The reaction worldwide has been pretty stark. I get the feeling your only market expertise is at Wellesbourne.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Frankly insane that any would-be leader would admit to such a massive miscalculation when it comes to global security. But of course, any chance of that is a distant memory.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    (In all seriousness, I don’t understand what Russia would want with this)

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    We need to break off Lynx with Moscow

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Some would have you believe this was all NATO’s fault in the first place. They’re a bit quieter today.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I lived in America for many years and can only assume you were all hanging out with total headcases! (I got the Australian thing all the time though)

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Based on what? Going nuclear makes sense only in the context of an episode of 24.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Then the whole room stood up and clapped I think your brother just finally disproved the cliche that Brits do sarcasm better than Americans.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    So our response should be to cave to Putin’s demands as much as humanly possible?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Gotta love those clickbait agency articles. I spent too much time playing with the Nukemap yesterday.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    If only the Ukrainian military could harness this level of passive-aggression, the war would be over in hours.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I think it was supposed to be edgy

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    There are indeed. I'm not sure they're "massive" enough to change Lukashenko's thinking (the threat of being strung up by your own people is a powerful argument to ignore them), but they do exist. More to follow, you have to assume.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    On the contrary, I think they care very much, and Putin has spent years preparing their economy for this precise eventuality. They've built up huge reserves to try and operate an economy that has been trying to westernize for decades, but could soon be largely cut off from the west. It's a bold...
