Russia to lose 15,000 millionaires by end of year. Well, Xi put in place the restrictions on moving wealth out before he began his crackdown on HK. |

Thinking...... Putin appears to be ill, maybe a terminal illness. Also there appears to be no "nominated heir" to his seat. There appears to be some disquiet within the higher echelons of Russia, and that might lead to an assassination or coup. So..... What happens if Putin dies, either "in his sleep", or other means. Will there be a change of direction (away from suppression of truth/people)? Will there be a hardening of attitudes? Will there be a night of the knives? Lots of possibilities, some far less favourable than others. I think a coup/assassination would be the most damaging, as the knives would already be out of the draw, and those carrying them would be very ready to use them. Dies in his sleep. Hmmmmm, hard to call, but with no visible heir I think we would see a night of the the long knives as the possibility of a calm hand over needs a recognised successor.

There was a report very recently (BBC I think) that mentioned successors & named 3 potential ones. What I gathered from that report was that I could not see a hold in place or a withdrawal from Ukraine. |

There's also the suggestion that the henchmen immediately with Putin to replace him are likely to be an even greater evil of despots. Clearly, "appeasement" does not work... Stay safe folks!

Yep, yet the EU still tried. Their attempts at getting Ukraine to accept the loss of territory to secure a "peaceful" resolution to the war was an affront to those that fought & died hitting the beaches in 1944 to free them. They seem to have forgot "Der Kliene Korporal" & his Lebensraum. |

They are terrified of consequences and willing to put up with slavery. I believe that is cowardice defined. |

This is long overdue, but will a PooTin lover (or lovers) throw a spanner in the works? 'Long overdue': Pelosi affirms support for labeling Russia a sponsor of terrorism. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she's urging the State Department to label Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, just as a Senate-led effort on the subject gains momentum. |

As PooTin continues to hit up the rich at home. Rector of top Moscow university put under house arrest. It looks like domestic terrorism is also continuing. 1 killed, 13 injured in massive warehouse fire near Moscow. Those fires are getting bigger. |
