I understand this might make people uncomfortable and I'm happy to not talk about it but politely please stop labelling inconvenient facts as propaganda. every country may have far right or neo-nazi groups yet ukraine is the only country which has them openly in an official military unit.
They are also the only country fighting for their lives.

Re: World War 3 or just a local spat in Ukraine?

Sorry to interrupt the catfight. Is everyone ready for some supply chains disruptions?

As the Federal Office for National Economic Supply tells, no worries over the month timescale, but ugly things can happen over the days timescale. https://www.bwl.admin.ch/bwl/en/home...notvorrat.html

you may be right but Russia's economy is heavily dependent on natural resources and every $1 increase in the price of Brent is allegedly a $9m per day profit. China's Unionpay has already offered an alternative payment systems to Russia. Russia will look to China and India to trade with

@ mods: and why is vushka banned?
Russia does not sell Brent oil, it sells Urals crude oil.
This is currently selling at the largest discount ever to Brent oil because of a combination of lack of customers, difficulties in arranging payment, fear of sanctions and problems of shipping through a war zone (one major oil export terminal, Novorossiysk, is on the Black Sea).

China's Unionpay is a consumer to business payment system based on cards and point of sales terminals, it is not a business to business system.

When the 15 minute warning has sounded and you have hugged and kissed your loved ones for the last time, if you were able to reach them. I don´t think that your thoughts will that at least the west stood up for Ukraine and against Putin. Are you, yes you personally, willing to put your life and those who you love on the line for Ukraine?
I´m not.
This probably won´t happen, however it´s the "probably" that worries me.
No, not for Ukraine, but for Ukraine and all the other Ukraines that will happen down the line if Putin gets away with this one. I could imagine the nukes flying if Russia was invaded but not because Putin's expansionist plans were thwarted. From my point of view it's a risk worth taking.

Yes, same as when the pandemic started. I think it's what everyone that cooks at home already has in the cupboard, plus drinking water. It's a reasonable list, I did this before for hurricanes so nothing new. I guess the list is more aimed the people who cannot cook even if their life depends on it, people whose food relies on the next delivery ordered from the phone.

Got the message, next time I call for attention while being less of an idiot.

On a serious note, I hear you. I was too young to actually witness the Cold War (and on the other side of the curtain).

on the subject of military interventions by Nato, this guy makes a lot of sense to my ears.

Second on the list: weitere Getränke.

Indeed.

The Polish border guards are acting pretty much like master-race Nazis by preventing, sometimes with force, the entry into Poland of African and Indian students who were studying in Ukraine's Universities.
Not only that, there are reports of young Women and children being snatched directly on the border.
