Looked him up. Was it bill browder? Red notice is well worth a read. 

Listening to his voice on YouTube, I think it may well have been him. I'd not heard of Red Notice, but will take a look. Cheers.

Not that hard to understand their are risks in terms of global financial market from taking the money from countries we don't like.

Genuine question. How would a collective western agreement to use monies frozen under sanctions, then being held for Ukraine to pay for military hardware, impact markets?

Someone dropping a pin can spook markets, so as a complete layman i can assume upending financial norms could cause issues to international investment in the eurozone.

Bill Browder was on the James O’Brien show this morning and made a very compelling case for giving the frozen assets to Ukraine. We only have until July though as there will be another vote when Obàn will probably side with Russia and $200b will go back into Putin’s war chest. 
Another book worth reading is Freezing Order by the same author.

A risk worth taking imo. Putin wanted a war and until there's peace, Ukraine needs a war chest. Let Russia provide that war chest with their money. 

[sadoldgit]

And also use the Russian money to rebuild what they have destroyed in Ukraine.

I feel gutted for Zelensky, he must feel physically sick having to go back and, in effect, bend his knee to Trump. He had little choice and has been totally sold out by Putin’s puppet.

French news channel BFMTV are running a story that Trump wanted to cancel Zelensky's visit, but Macron persuaded him that it should go ahead.

Looking forward to the Canadians cutting off electricity to New York and Michigan (not for the Democrats there tbh), and also removing road and rail access to Alaska. Maybe they should thinking about annexing it?

Pity there isn’t a home Ryder Cup this year, could really have dished out some abuse. It’s over there in September instead, and their crowds tend to be full of MAGA’s very worst (yelling ‘get in the hole’ off the tee on a par 5, ‘USA, USA’, loads of personal abuse to the European players).

Sky News is normally more sensible than ITV or BBC but that was a huge mistake tonight having Bannon on there. That’s fascist propaganda not freedoms of speech. Times Radio a bit more sensible I find if you look their clips up on You Tube.

She wasn’t the strongest candidate by any means but voting for Trump over her is desperate stuff and most of the floating voters who did for a few dollars are going to be far worse off with tariffs and DOGE. Hope none of the small business owners in this link who will sink because of the Canada tariffs voted for Trump.

I'm not sure the US will ever be ready for a non white female president. Biden bailed too late, and they picked the wrong candidate. And the rest will be unpleasant history.

Biden’s legacy will always be the man who put Mad Donny back in the White House. The fact that neither he nor any of his advisors seemed to think that an 82 year old standing for election was in any way a bad idea, until that car crash debate where he could bare string a sentence together, is every bit as ludicrous as the people who are in power now.

Kept my Brexit friends - some regret it, a couple don’t - but none of us would have a MAGA supporter in the group ever. Family would be ex-communicated as well, not that they would with our grandfathers having medals for Dunkirk, El Alamein, Monte casino, and Burma respectively. Had it instilled in us how dishonest fascists are. Today’s Americans have forgotten what it is like - or they had until now….

Very fair, Democrats have done as much as to get Donny back in as he did, probably a lot more. Biden is one selfish cunt.

America, other than a few of the Aleutian islands, hasn't been attacked or invaded by a foreign power in an act of war since the 1840s. ( Hawaii wasn't a State until 1959 ). They sit with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Pacific on the other, meddling in other countries at arm's lemgth, and only getting seriously involved in Global conflicts at least 2 years late.

As for you nutty nic, you say you don’t support Trump but you constantly post laughing emojis when someone slags him or Musk off. Trump and Musk both like a conspiracy theory, as do you. You say that you have a great intellect but you have the intellect of a wooden chair. 
 

…

Nic, when are you going to realise that posting laughing emojis in supposed defence of your position doesn’t actually do anything other than make you look like a total twat.

I assume that means you feel the same when you do it to me and others? So are you admitting here that you are indeed a total twat?

All to easy.

Define “an awful snowflake group” please. Would they be people who disagree with unfounded conspiracy theories?

Calling someone on a football forum a dictator as much as Putin is makes you look beyond stupid. Sadly you can’t see that.

When have you ever respected different views? Just how many laughing emojis have you posted on other people’s posts that are different to your views?

When have you ever shown any respect to people with different views to you?

You end the post with another disrespectful comment.

You have no self awareness. You are a hypocrite. You are gullible and easily fooled. You believe that you are superior but have yet to post anything other than that which makes you look like someone who parrots conspiracy theories because you want to be seen as someone who knows things the rest of us don’t. It doesn’t work mate.

I cannot even begin on the levels of unawareness and irony you display here as you are the one that started to do this stuff to me and others. Now we give it back you squinny and accuse others of being all the things that you are. Quite amazing. I assume you must have serious mental issues as all you are doing is stating that anyone who does these things is a twat, while doing those exact same things yourself. Couldn't make it up.
