Anyone else think the Americans aren't quite doing enough here. Energy self-sufficient and largely food self-sufficient and won't be affected by the huge displacement of people. Reluctant to deploy troops after Afghanistan I just wonder whether they see this as more of a European problem. I think Biden has come across as weak in all this too.

Well it would be pretty ridiculous for them to come out and condemn an invasion of a country wouldn’t it. Has a day gone by in the last 20 years that they haven’t dropped a bomb? I think they should keep well out of this. For instance the first aggression towards Russia that Europe could show would be a no fly zone over Ukraine. Would you rather have NATO doing this or them lot?

Theyre a last resort in this for me.

😊😊In all seriousness I'd like to know their reasoning. Coca Cola is massive with big player share holders so has me a little concerned this decision.

Totally agree, from what I’ve seen read (admittedly I’m no expert) so I could be totally wrong, it seems the older, poorer Russians are in his thrall. The younger ones know there is a world out there not dictated by Putin

The younger ones today are so much more savvy than the older ones.

My now 79yo Mam would tell be some obvious bullshit (usually pro Brexit before the vote). I was pretty much non political and I remember her telling me that the EU want to break England up into regional areas and get rid of the country. I said that can't be true and she would bring the Daily Express with her next time as "proof".

On the other side my 13yo daughter seen some Air Jordan's online which were £50 and normally retail at £300 and could I buy her a pair? I said at that price she could have two pairs but she put the site on Trustpilot and they were an obvious scam site.

The difference between the young and the old and how much they believe what they're told.
