Be well hidden away thatAll true but we were discussing the context of how much this will eat into his gold reserves. It was suggested it's all gone.
Who is going to buy the gold when they’re sanctioned from near enough every corner of the western world?A bit on gold quickly as it is being discussed here and there.
Current value of a kilo of gold bullion is 61k usd.
2300000 Kg of 24K Gold
Price: $140,853,502,705.00 USD
The eastern world?Who is going to buy the gold when they’re sanctioned from near enough every corner of the western world?

he might come out of this as the new Czar!I heard you, it’s just batshit, isn’t it?
Thought that myself, big puffy cheeks on him which I've never noticed before.Think he looks bloated...could this be the sign of lots of drugs/ steroids to keep him breathing?
Read a really interesting piece on Russian re and then de-armament last nightI was quite surprised to read about the size of Ukraine's armed forces. I'd assumed the Russian 190k would outnumber them by multiples but apparently they have 200k active plus another 700k reservists. Throw in the general population arming themselves and that's substantial resistance. Obviously the Russians have greater weapons capability and that for me is the worry, I don't think they can win a war fighting street by street, town by town and ultimately they'll resort to more destructive weapons.
The best thing the West can do imo is to keep the flow of more advanced weapons going into Ukraine.
Back in the 80s the US made a big deal of their “Star Wars Program”, aka Global Defence Initative involving lasers, anti-missile missiles and all kinds of fancy counter-measures that had the USSR bricking it.Im not up on nuclear capabities and stuff like that, so am I wrong to assume if he fired something, Nato and us have the ability to block and render it useless?
Someone get me near to Putin, I’ll mind control him
Thats what I want to hear...Back in the 80s the US made a big deal of their “Star Wars Program”, aka Global Defence Initative involving lasers, anti-missile missiles and all kinds of fancy counter-measures that had the USSR bricking it.
Sadly it wasn’t all it was made out to be, but it led to anti-missile measures like Israel’s Arrow 3 or the US Aegis which could theoretically shoot down a nuke.
Isn’t he a close associate of putin? Could be possible he is trying to do something?Breaking News on Talk Sport:

Could it shoot down 6000 nukes simultaneously if Putin went for world destruction?Back in the 80s the US made a big deal of their “Star Wars Program”, aka Global Defence Initative involving lasers, anti-missile missiles and all kinds of fancy counter-measures that had the USSR bricking it.

Or it was the first blow in the cold war - it depends who you ask. What is beyond doubt is the first bomb may have been aimed at Japan. The second was to show the world (esp. the USSR) that it wasn't a one off.The world will never be the same again. When the yanks dropped the bomb in Japan it was to end the war. This one would be totally different

Read a really interesting piece on Russian re and then de-armament last night
Basically around the turn of the decade Russia was undergoing a really thorough and effective reform of its military. But it was too effective for Putin who purged the guy responsible.
His replacement and current head of the military is a) not a slav so and b) understands to keep his job he needs to be popular, so when he came in and he basically neutered the military which was scaring Putin and has kept it under thumb for that reason since
Second point it made was that Putin has managed multiple "special operations" successfully which is modern innuendo for war, but nonetheless its always been against separatists and interest groups.
This is a traditional clauswitzian land war closer to the sort fought in WW2. As a comparison when Hitler invaded Poland there were three echelons- one to take ground as soon as possible and then two two secure it and supply lines immediately afterwards.
This Russian offence has one echelon in its entirety.
Won't know until its tested. But obviously of all the military technology to develop, its the silver bullet because it renders the enemy's biggest weapon useless. So there won't be a shortage of options which claim to have this as their goal.Back in the 80s the US made a big deal of their “Star Wars Program”, aka Global Defence Initative involving lasers, anti-missile missiles and all kinds of fancy counter-measures that had the USSR bricking it.

Haven't a clueI heard you, it’s just batshit, isn’t it?
Very close, worried about losing his billions?Isn’t he a close associate of putin? Could be possible he is trying to do something?
Apart from China, can’t imagine many countries have the finance to buy their gold?The eastern world?
