I've just had a quick look at the super yachts moored in Monaco right now.

I'll believe the EU (and the UK) are turning the screw on the Oligarchs when they start seizing vessels like the Quantum Blue which is sitting in Monaco at the moment and owned by Russian Oligarch Sergey Galitsky
And Avanguard ii owned by Cyril Minovalov CEO of the russian Avangard bank

Until then it's just talk

I’m all for that, I’d add start decommissioning them all as well and we (the Russians) will do the same….but I’d happily see the US take everything out of Europe.

Could they not just agree to gradually remove them and build their own trident system? Would rather all sides decommission but that doesn't seem plausible at the minute. Plus I wouldn't believe a word Russia says.

I agree with he sentiment entirely but we're kind of hamstrung. We go in there or do anything in there and Vlad will take that as a declaration of war.......which will turn into ww3 and potentially nuclear war.

China on Monday reiterated its opposition to what it called “illegal and unilateral” sanction” on Russia amid Moscow launching war in Ukraine.

“China does not approve sanctions to resolve problems,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, as reported by Chinese public broadcaster CGTN.

He said Beijing “has always opposed unilateral sanctions above international law.”

Beijing’s reiteration of its stance came as Russia’s attack on Ukraine entered its fifth day on Monday, triggering international condemnation with barrage of sanctions on Moscow, including blocking access to the SWIFT international banking system.

“China asks all sides to show restraint to avoid exacerbating Russia-Ukraine tensions,” Wang said.

China opposed sanctions on Russia on Friday, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation against Ukraine.

“China opposes any illegal sanctions that harm Russia’s legitimate rights and interests,” Wang had told a news conference in Beijing.

“The US has imposed more than 100 sanctions on Russia since 2011, but this is not a fundamental and effective means to solve the problem,” he said.

China are condemning sanctions whilst ignoring an invasion on innocent people??

So if someone imposes them they deserved to be attacked by their logic

Also wouldn’t have Russia remained as “peacekeepers” just the east of the country if their only grievances were there?!

Russian military are clearly committing war crimes on a daily basis

Interesting article,

All the stop gaps we have in place as a non conflict alternative to war always seem to end up with I hope we don't push Putin too far. It all boils down to the fact that Putin is a war mongering c**t who would rather kill his own people and lay the world to waste that to damage is own ego and lose. He absolutely has to go, how is a different matter. Still believe it has to come from inside Russia, but the more I read there doesn't seem to be a lot of appetite for this. I don't blame the population, they are normal people, who in large pockets, are are probably brainwashed with state media and actual media blackouts. I blame his generals, just kill the old t**t.

The difference between now and 75 years ago is west can use the global economy as a weapon. The Russian people can be squashed but pressure from his Oligarch mates will be harder to ignore.

Xi now the power broker in this and he's another nutter. He'll be watching and seeing if it's an oportunity to smash the West once and for all via a Russia-China alliance, even if that means nuclear war, or if the time's not yet come for that.
