Pap their currency took a battering today, they couldn't be isolated forever if they export a lot it means they are reliant on others, I have asked the question repeatedly and yet no answer how much oil and gas do we import from Russia?
The US could do an awful lot, your suggestion is to do nothing as Putin can do it we will just let him, that has happened before and look where it got us.
How much oil and gas do we actually get from Russia?
I have just been told there is a frigate sailing towards Costa Blanca after Tom Withenright got a slap of a Spanish market seller for nicking pickled onions in Benidorm.....................

Back to the thread, I think this shall escalate with hopefully a Russian back down similar to the Cuban missile crisis, Putin is very hard edged though so its difficult to say.
It is, not sure what your point is either way turn up tomorrow, dont be abusive today and as we are meeting tomorrow so all your animosity shall fade and when I have my apology it shall be good in the garden of this forum.
