Vic.
Once they do that America will supply you at $12.6 mill a day. When China stopped Aussie Barley imports the States immediately stepped in with theirs, it's called making a quid, and stuff the reasons.

Re: Ukraine
That’s what they call free enterprise Des , that’s what the west fights for it’s their slogan. Have India , China, Pakistan , some of the European countries and South American ones agreed with all those who have signed up to avoid any wealth making for Russia by ceasing trade with them. What makes people think it will have such an amazing Effect with them. The Russians during the last war learned to live off the land and can do so again if the worse came to the worse for them. They won’t be complaining about not getting a cup of tea like some I remember who are lucky to be alive today. JS

Re: Ukraine
Many from Russia and leaving for Finland, not happy with the way it is going.
But what happens once the Russian force takes Kyiv, do things go back to normal??
Not on your life they will.
But for all the posturing by the west they will continue to buy from and trade with Russia in some round about way.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Ukraine
Like my posting of earlier John, he takes Kiev , and the other Cities until the Entire Ukraine is under his control, then its onwards mate, he is Power hungry now, wants to succeed in his dreams of a United USSR as it was, so a lot to go still i feel?? Again just my thoughts!

Re: Ukraine
Like others in the past with the same visions Vernon , to name a few , Julius Caesar, Ghengis Khan, Napoleon Bonaparte , Adolph Hitler, Mussolini , the leaders of the Slav nation’s in recent years dividing up Europe as it stood take Yugoslavia as an example , they all come and go. Power is the one dominant characteristic they all had, most were small men but made up for that with melogamania. Putin will never be brought before his equals , for the simple fact in his own mind he probably doesn’t have any. JS
