Sweet. Go get 'em Ukraine.
And in other news US is maybe banning Russian oil in a day or so. Here's hoping.
We've had most of our oil giants in the UK say that they are no longer purchasing oil after public pressure, but haven't addressed the rising price of fuel as a consequence.
Word on the grapevine is that the rising living costs here (which is being furthered by fuel prices) will bring about a mini recession. My guess is, this will also cause the housing market to collapse. Though this is also a by-product of people renovating their houses over the past two years during lockdown, selling and flooding the market.
I'm putting mine on the market next week in the hope to sell high and monopolise on the downturn later in the year.
I guess what I was trying to get at (before losing track) is that if the economy takes a serious hit this year it'll likely be responsible to what tone the UK continues to play with Russia.
@pariston_hill:
Word down here is that UK, Canada and Netherlands are gonna act outside NATO and send mercenaries to Ukraine. If confirmed truth, and in fact exposed, we could jump from the frying pan to the fire.
I think Putin is doing something similar with Syria in response (Syrian contractors/mercenaries).
