I have stated my perspective- this war was thoroughly avoidable. An utter Failure of Diplomacy.



I would love to see some figures on that, if you have a source. EU assets in Russia exceed 137bn Euro. UK & US assets, I don't know- but BP owns 20% of Rosneft for example, and Shell has a lot invested in NS2.

Whatever the sums, it is clear that Europe has one helluva lot to lose here, as indeed does Russia.
The difference is that you are allowed to call it a war and we are discussing it. Scumbag OhOh still hasn't realized that there is a war going on. He is a good little Nazi listening to his Fuehrer and posting his propaganda.
