Russian oil to be phased out by the uk by the end of the year. We only get 8% from there but it’s still a worthwhile statement

To be fair, changing where we get our energy from isn't going to something that's possible overnight - you can't build new power output overnight or even buy stuff up from other places (not least because I suspect the entire Western world is trying to do the same). UK govt is dragging its heels in lots of areas but the timescale here feels pretty much as fast as possible. |

The US have followed similar suit - US are banning Russian oil and gas imports.. this is certainly going to be a trigger for escalation I would expect, in what form? who knows with that lunatic

I agree, but an immediate ban on Russian oil would see huge profiteering from other oil exporting nations, driving fuel prices through the roof. |

McDonald’s finally bows to pressure and closes all 850 stores in Russia. Now for Coke to pack their bags.

I thought it was кола they drank anyway? It does get me thinking though. I wonder...the next time the UK or US goes and unjustly bombs the shite out of somewhere...will the normal UK/US citizen be faced with all these similar sanctions and business pulls?  It's a serious question though. If we don't agree to similar sanctions in future against ourselves (and Murica or others) then surely we're incredibly hypocritical? Past forays into Syria and Iraq 2 (WMDs anyone?) come to mind initially...and the ongoing situation with Israeli Defence Forces in Palestine. I'm sure there are many more... Meanwhile...just over two weeks on and Russian Oligarchs in the UK remain free to move their assets into moderate safety  Piece on "dirty money" can be viewed here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/03/russia-oligarchs-evade-sanctions-anonymous/626968/A little more on media hypocrisy can be read here: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/27/western-media-coverage-ukraine-russia-invasion-criticismThis is the tl;dr version of the Al-Ja article above: https://twitter.com/RedsssSeaside/status/1501528350573174787 |

Crude is up 20% per barrel just in the last week though and likely will rise higher Kremlin ran Russia >>>> bothered much The cynic in me thinks this is just the UK Gov cashing in on higher barrel prices. It certainly makes them look good whilst doing so in the present environment. I wonder who will be reaping the benefits of this profitable ROI? I'm sure a rather extravagant Downing St Party "Invite Email" will be sent out at some point  |

Abramovich sanctioned, including preventing him selling Chelsea (or it seems, Chelsea selling anything else including tickets or anything other than catering in the stadium... that will end well)

Where have you read that (not doubting it) the words from Dorries I have seen suggest it has some sort of licence which allows it to operate normally, which does rather seem to negate the point of sanctions on Abramovich. |
