Nature abhors a vacuum. If Putin goes, who steps in? Maybe he's got a bunch of yes-men played off against each other or something, and it would be a feeding frenzy.

@tim said in The country formerly known as The Ukraine:
To be fair to @NTA, it has been hard to see what the actual extent of the invasion is.
Which was exactly my point.
Does everyone here know who Barrie Cassidy is, BTW?
A bitter and twisted washed up ex-ABC presenter. He can’t even have the “oh but he’s a nice bloke” label attached to him.
Really? I always assumed he was a nice bloke if for no other reason than John Clarke had him in The Games.

I think this war is going to underscore how each country needs to be as energy independent as possible - even if it means using nuclear power or oil. Once renewables are truly up to speed and can support a country's energy needs as claimed, then dirty energy can be phased out. In their haste to phase out nuclear, but maintain reliance on Russia, certain Europe counties (Germany) have really fucked themselves. Biden is refusing to open up oil supplies in America by reducing the carbon tax on it, and the US imports 7% of its oil from Russia. With inflation getting out of control, surely it's better for their constituents to not have out of control gas prices.

I suspect Russian energy supplies to any country not called China will be ceased by the end of the day. Oh Goody.

Russia has hiked its interest rate to 20% to prevent a run on its currency. Panic stations!!No source, my guess.
