But isn't that hypocritical of Putin?
He wants the rest of the planet to recognise Crimea as part of Russia but won't allow a country that has been independent from the Soviet Union for nearly 31 years to be......an independent country.

I never said it was good, I also hate how China views taiwan.

We can't change those things though, we have to work with them to find a way forward before people start getting in tanks and shiz.

"9000 permits" I see you took the headline as fact.

American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC) CEO Anne Bradbury "It's really a distraction from the fact that this administration has paused leasing on federal lands, something that we're concerned about and something that we think needs to continue right away,"

"Bradbury also said the Biden administration is "required under the law" to sell oil and gas leases on federal lands. "

American Petroleum Institute (API) president and CEO Mike Sommers
"when asked about Psaki's comments. "Once you lease land there is a whole process that you have to go through. First you have to actually discover whether actually there is oil and gas in that land. Second of all, you have to get a permit to actually develop that land."

"Sommers added: "Right now we actually are developing more leases than we have in two decades so the White House certainly doesn't have their facts straight on this."

More to it than meets the eye.

The fact remains that oil companies could increase production but these oil prices are incredible for their profits.

I didn't like the messaging in the media about zelenskiy, it felt produced, structured photo ops, hero messaging etc. He's one of the most corrupt politicians in one of the most corrupt governments on the planet, I can't get behind him.

The UKR people of course are legends, people always seem to rise to the challenge in these situations, we did it in WW2 so kudos to each and every one of them.

Who cares. The man has turned out to be an incredible war leader. His country is being destroyed, his people killed and he hasn't run, he's stayed and is wining the PR war against Putin as well as inspiring Ukrainians to fight. Churchill was a bit of a **** but I'd never deny he was exactly what the UK needed in WW2 and no doubt helped the country and its people whether the storm.

However, I bet if Boris was doing the same as Zelensky, people would still be on his back over other issues such as the bloody parties

do need to engage with them and discuss things before they go too far. At least we've learned that ignoring Putin isn't an option, he will back up his words with actions. I just wish those in charge had taken him seriously sooner otherwise we have to deal with the fallout.

As far back as the Kosovo War they were duplicitous. It's always like the Fox and the Scorpion with these guys. How do you negotiate with that?

More like “I’d love to say we will fight them on the beaches but i’m in hock to them for 400k”. Don’t bring Boris’ backbone into this it’s an embarrassment for us all. Events demand restraint but he will have to pay the bill.

You should read and understand what I posted.

Yes you have a right by law to have a permit.
But the biden lot are not letting companies on federal land so they can use the permit.

Again for you " this administration has paused leasing on federal lands,"
so 9000 permits with NO LAND TO SEARCH

I still don't know enough to know whether the citizens of UKR are happy to be so, the majority at least. It seems like certain areas definitely want to be RUS, that's all I know.

reminds you of those who wanted the sovereignty of the UK restored - the way it was, how are we succeeding trying to achieve that economically.

Personally, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt here. I've seen, as other on here who know Ukraine have seen, the country has been really trying to shrug off the corruption. It's slow and has taken steps forwards and backwards along the way. I think Zelensky, and whoever is behind him (the guy that owns the TV station) have been making progress on cleaning up Ukraine's act.

IMHO anyway.
