Yeah - Abramovich bought the oil business for 300 million half of which was loaned by the Russian government. 5 odd years later he sold the same company for £8 billion plus and in the interim Abramovich moved to London and bought Chelsea FC to help launder money.There was a bbc spotlight thing that went out the week after he was sanctioned that went into a lot of detail about how they claim he got the money. A lot of it was pre-Putin but he seemed very close to powerful people in the Yelstin era. The russian government basically loaned him the money to buy the oil company off them.
Only became ultra rich when he sold it back to the state after Putin came in.
Their fancy planes are more air-to-air planes rather than strike planes. Their strike planes are mostly still older, they're still in the process of building newer strike planes.No shit.

I have serious doubts about well informed in all honesty, they're probably reading the David Baddiel book and a few selected classic texts but we've all seen the nonsense they come out with when the discourse moves to a new topic, e.g. Northern Ireland. No fear of blustering through with their public schooling confidence and a few texts skimmed in college 25 years ago.yep, though it always makes more sense to me to presume they are well-informed and cynical rather than credulous — or, rather, that they are able to doublethink their way through being both
ouch . this war has to be going down as one of the biggest cock ups ever in historyReported that a number of buses carrying russian soldiers suffering from radiation have been brought to belarus. Apparently they were digging in at a highly contaminated area in chernobyl with little or no idea about the areas history .
Wow. That starts out reasonable and goes off the cliff pretty swiftlyAnne Applebaum making the case for a war of aggression against anyone who is not allied with the US, i.e. world war 3, for the good of humanity! Cool Anne, cool. Liberalism is so humane

This is the point though - pretty much everyone I know rails against the fucking unholy destruction of Iraq. Mention it and most Irish people I know get visibly angry.It's not. That's why the US and UK and co bombing the absolute fuck out of places like Iraq and Yemen for years needs to be called out too.
