The Russian invasion of Ukraine (1 Viewer)

No but I assume he earned it legitimately, like all billionaires.

Even more legitimately than most.

Paid about 300 mill to buy a fuel company from the Russian state. Financed in part by a loan from the Russian government of approx 150 mill.

The fair market rate for the company would have been 3 billion.

10 years later he sold it back to the Russian government for 13.6 billion.

Basically nobody is going to question defense spending for any country, not just the US, from now on. Russia is the boogeyman that's going to militarize a generation.

F-35 orders will pick up over Europe, the machine keeps turning.

I said this to the missus when this kicked off. It’s trite to say the only winners in wars are the armaments industry - but it going to be very much the case after this.

I don't know if this is an Oxford comma thing. But either 3 people, or one Irish guy with an unIrish sounding name has died over there.

Neo-Nazis would be comically inept at running the place

That is exactly what loads of people said about Hitler, after all
