Because if they surrender they get killed....
They are with regards to the Russian army, also not sure what your little UK part has to do with anything?
Despite the headlines by certain publications no Ukrainian refugees are taking Mrs Patel to court.
Don't worry you're not the only one with reading problems here, the other guy was quoting my post and claiming it wasn't saying the exact same words he was quoting lol
TBH with so much misinformation being spread I don't even know if I believe these reports from either side anymore.
I mean they could have been civilians who took up arms and chose to fight and I can certainly commend those who chose to fight the invaders but I'm guessing the headline would still be civilians killed at bustop waiting to go home/work either way.
But the 100 who got freed didn't get raped or killed according to the UN, they should really release more civilians though.

OK so the UK legal companies involved are plotting to take Mrs. Patel to court "on their behalf". In other words they have been so instructed?

Explain what you've done to stick your neck out? Other than raising your hand each time Putin said his boot was dirty.
Thanks for this. I now understand!
New Perun video on Russia’s nuclear bluff.
Thoughts on his reliability in general? I pretty much knew everything he said in this vid beforehand, and I feel more and more like that with his most recent videos. Why I gravitated to him was he debunked 2 theories from Youtubers I respected.
The “Russia’s pulling its punches” myth even CaspianReport mentioned in their 1st war video, before the logistical nightmares were exposed. And the “real goal” of stealing Ukrainian coastal oil & gas, or denying them access so Europe stays dependent, which I first heard from RealLifeLore. Maybe it was on TV, radio or other stuff I don’t watch, but I’d never heard it mentioned before, to the point I where I doubted its factuality, as it wasn’t “common knowledge” like Russia “pulling its punches”.

Thanks for the writeup. There's a similar explanation from Money & Macro. Thoughts on his reliability too?

It's a good and easy to understand video.
As he said Russia makes up a very small fraction of the world economy and technically the west can absolutely destroy the Russian economy (stop gas imports) but if the west does it (Germany specifically) then the west will experience quite the depression, from which it will not recover, it will be a permanent reduction in standards of living by a good amount.
We are seeing some countries refusing to pay in roubles and stopping importing Russian gas officially but it is all theatrics, Poland is still getting Russia gas through Germany. In fact all countries that have a gas pipeline with Germany can join in on political theatrics and stop import of Russian gas to get some electorate brownie points, whilst getting their Russia gas through Germany.
Russia is already leveraging their power as a commodity exporter (a developed country can be very productive but if it does not have access to raw materials or these raw materials increase significantly in cost then you either can't physically produce or it becomes economically irrational to produce) with their dominate market position in wheat and fertiliser and some metals, which will drive further current supply side inflation we are seeing right now that is further destroying already stretched to the limited cost of living.
In essence globalisation is working here, the west and Russia cannot harm each other too much because they are dependant on each other.
That leverage wont last very long once it's abundantly clear that other sources of those materials are more trustworthy and increase production through investment that is no longer heading to Russia.
Of course always nice to keep the carrot dangling if the Kremlin wobbles.

Very true - putin is attempting to project a “if you are friends with US we will ruin your country just like syria” the concept is that any proxy war between US and putin results in no country thus russia’s threat becomes would be enough to dictate whatever relationship they want. Playing the stalemate/draw game.
Presumably the speech is linked to the purchases? I wondered how they were going to get China to not substitute for the cancelled orders from their oil embargoes, without applying the same rules to India and others whom they're trying to court into an anti-China bloc. Presumably secondary sanctions would have to apply to every importer of Russian oil, exporting inflation to them against their will?
Also, if Pompeo was secretary of state, and had the same intel last month as Blinken, stating that China wasn't sending arms or breaching sanctions, would he out-and-out lie and say the opposite, to try and force secondary sanctions from the EU and others?

Sounds like he won't go into much specifics, but just reiterate the same stuff as other officials have said previously based on the above.
Could've changed since then though, we will have to wait and see.
Don't think this move by China is largely surprising to anyone though really.
