Looks pretty dismal right now for Fuhrer Vlad.

The Ukrainians are the proud owners now of dozens of abandoned Russian tanks. Ungracious Pootin however didn’t leave a drop of fuel in the tanks.

I'd like to claim to be a stock Oracle. Unfortunately not. Nevertheless, for a number of reasons (not to do with Ukraine), I pulled out a significant amount from stocks into cash at the end of last year. Lucky break.

Why have all those stock markets "plummeted" though?

I've always loved the way the stock/Forex people talk. Every movement's termed in shock/horror superlatives. :D

The swaths of captured territories are growing daily like a cancer… keep pushing all the way to find that treasonous yank-serving little weasel and his cronies!

Push… push… push… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… :lol:

I just can’t wait for the moment when they find him crouched in the corner of a bunker and this 6ft 5” Spetznas taps him on the shoulder and he looks up with his beady little eyes in horror!

pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… pressure… :lol:

:? The “oracle” you used is a noun, so why capitalize? For a born/bred Brit you should know better.

The most annoying development is that the weasel cowardly slipped out of Kiev and all the way to Poland!

He’s done a runner like Paphitis often does! :?
