Well done but hardly a gotcha moment
Again we are not and we should not get involved ever militarily in Ukraine it’s not a threat to us what happens there
Yes global food security has no potential impact on us.
Lol don’t try to pretend you were just talking about military intervention, you were specifically referring to sanctions as well!

Which would be what? Giving Russia part of Ukraine? Yeah, that'd go down well and pretty much say NATO is spineless. Imagine what the Kremlin would make of that with the Russian population. Not to mention how it would look to the Chinese.

Well again if we had ‘let them get on with it’ where would we be now?
Well yeah but petrol might be cheaper so it’s six of one, half a dozen etc etc
But how much of that was because of sanctions, which was your point, and how much of it was because of the war itself?

The pound crashing over the same period is at least as equal to blame. Crude oil like most commodities in the world are traded in dollars and at some point that’s converted into pounds and that’s driving the price of everything up.

This is interesting...... Obviously the likes of China & India etc. are continuing to do very nice business with Russia but whne you see the amount of companies from USA, France, Germany & Italy, for example, it certainly raises questions over how truly commited to the Ukranian cause some of these countries actually are....

I personaly think this war will be prolonged & exploited by "allies" of both sides for many years to come.......

Maintaining and propping up the Ukrainians to keep a war there for several years is the dream ticket for the West

Won’t that affect petrol and food prices or is that what you mean? It excuses anything bad happening

It occupies Russia and drains their resources and will take all their focus. The eu and other countries continue to pump billions into Russia while showing a concerned face

Well the USA uses all wars to increase american company market share and what's happened with LNG?

They've been able to focus on it for months now. The rest of that thread outlines clearly why it is getting worse for the Russian military.
Not unless they can find a way to get inflation down pretty quickly, which will be tricky whilst the wars continuing with oil, gas and some food (wheat etc) prices likely to remain high.
If they don’t they’ll all be out of office by the time the wars over. US inflation is a bit different but Europe will be pretty fucked if the war continues longer term unless alternatives/alternative providers to those items can be found quick

Fuel is a factor from the war but inflation is a combination of many factors - and Europe is a motley crew of coalitions that are hooked on Russian gas - the US will see huge benefits here from prolonging the war without actual involvement
They have been focused it for months!
Plus Ukraine are now targeting Russian supply and ammo hubs behind the lines with the missiles and artillery supplied by the west, hopefully this can have a big effect.

Agree that US will benefit (LNG) from a prolonged war, especially as they’re shielded from some of the ‘war inflation’ but the West generally won’t

Perhaps they might try and take the whole country after Donbas. Shock, horror !
Well they can try I suppose. They won't be able to though.
