Agreed, pretty sure we have little to no trade with North Korea and they're not even invading and bombing another country to bits so why are we still trading with russia? Cut Putin and his revenue stream off at the base its madness we're still holding back.
Sanctions on Iran are far worse they can't even sell their oil on the international market and whatever their crimes are they're hell a lot less orders of magnitude bad than Russia's are currently

Funny when you think about it Russia needs to give back most of its land it took.
Ok, that makes sense.
Retroville (with a Sports Life) is in a different area of the city - it's not the Sports Life building.

Critical reporting?
1) How the hell was the media meant to know where defensive positions are? Pretty sure that reporters would be in quite some trouble for recording and reporting military positions.
2) It doesn't legitimize it. They are shelling the crap out of the places. Better there than in residential buildings.

Sanctions on Russia are already the strictest sanctions ever imposed on any country; and backed up by further "voluntary sanctions" from many companies who have decided Russian trade is not worth the bad publicity. What's more, many of the muted sanctions would likely backfire since so much of the Russian economy is extractive and there's enough of the world still willing to buy their oil, etc. All we'd achieve is pushing up prices.
I did see an interesting argument this morning that rather than stopping Oil/Gas imports we should tax them - now I think the numbers in that article are fanciful and it wouldn't work out as smoothly as he suggests, but the idea behind it seems sound.
This is a really powerful piece by the last journalists out of Mariupol:

Truly sickening seeing the destruction in Ukraine. Both lives and property.
We can only imagine how hard it is over there! Truly awful.
But, i applaud the Ukrainian people for their strength in fighting the evil poo head that is Puty and his gang of murderers.
Long live Ukraine!
