In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
That pipeline is a drop in the ocean now. Every day we move closer to a worldwide embago of everything to do with Russa.
there’s one hell of an opportunity for people that buy on bad news...
So the Russians aren't opening their stock markets?
I'm assuming that's because they know it'll just tank and lower morale/confidence amongst the population?

I was just basing it off the idea that it was true. Hopefully it isn't because the situation is shite enough as it is.
There will always be a customer for oil and gas.
But on the topic of fuel, how are the Russians running out of fuel over and over - seems like a pretty basic thing if you're going to invade a country??
Apparently the Evraz dividend yield is now 105 percent
First they said it was closed on Monday, then both Mon and Tue, and now its closed all week.
Difficult to censor the stock market.
I agree but the rule is not applied universally. British policians get insulted for doing much less than Putin aka Рutlеr.
How do you suppose Ukraine just gets everyone out? The whole country is at war and the infrastructure is on its knees.
It’s up to the individual embassies of citizens to make arrangements with the EU and Moldova to to take their citizens and assist their exit from Ukraine. It’s no good Ukraine allowing people to leave its border, unless people will subsequently be able to leave no man’s land and enter the EU or Moldova.
It’s tough being a man of principles
Is there a definitive list of things now, it’s so hard to keep up with?
-petrochemicals companies (BP, Shell)
-Google, apple
-airlines
-freight companies
-banking
-media
Fully expect the weather to announce it’s no longer going to rain over Russia next
Are they actually counting on those soldiers never coming back and telling the truth?
Name-calling doesn't usually lead to constructive discussion which is the point of this thread.

Can we Canadians send this guy to face him? The Kitchener-born boy is 57 years old right now and was known to always go after the other team's best players.
That pipeline you're talking about is the original Nord stream though?! With Germany at the end of it, who just killed NS2 and are building up their infrastructure to buy from other countries via the sea, as well as exploring options to move away from gas in general.
OK, I hadn’t used the phrase myself untiI I saw the ban and just used cyrillic text to be a dick. Anyway, he’s more Nikolai I than you know who: ageing autocrat, diplomatically isolated, army humiliated and (hopefully) heading for a fall.
Sure, but the thing with a pipeline is, you can't just deliver to everyone, you can only deliver to those who are sitting at the end of it. If they don't want to use it anymore, the pipeline is worthless.
Modern day open source intel is amazing, guy flying a drone over a battle and recording the whole thing. Non graphic.
It's disgusting. Really sad for the people at home seeking for answers.
BMW announced they would halt production and exports for Russia, too. Though I'm not sure how much of a dent luxury cars will make.
Where the hell is the kid?!?
How can the average Russian go about their daily business at this point.
I'm talking about Soyuz and Brotherhood.
At the moment, you're right that there won't be any European buyers because of sanctions. But come winter time (assuming major military operations in Ukraine are over) I think we'll see the EU backing down eventually.
Spare US and Qatari LNG capacity is very limited. They'd have to break existing contracts in order to supply Europe with all its energy needs. That'll be when that famous 'Western hypocrisy' could come back into play. Aiming for this is now Russia's last remaining gambit.
Exactly. Even if he annexed the gas fields of Ukraine, it's not like diamonds where he can smuggle out of the conflict areas easily. Transporting gas is very complex via pipes or liquidified. And who to?
If for whatever reason Putin gets outed, there needs to be a massive effort by the West to build Russia back up - so long as they are prepared to abandon authoritarianism and censorship.
In such an eventuality, I (as the EU, let’s say) would be saying that we would be prepared to lift all sanctions, but that Russia would need to cease media censorship and agree to independently ratified and observed elections (as well as withdrawing from Ukraine obviously, if they we’re still there)

Honestly, this sounds like a pipe dream.
True, very much a best case scenario, based on the assumption that the international economic response is utterly crippling Russia to the point where they can’t just carry on as is.

I have no deeper understanding of the current state of the energy market and I assume that the EU don't intend to cut off Russian gas entirely, even after this. But I find it hard to imagine that the West will have to capitulate to Russian gas.
How can embassies make arrangements if Ukraine isn’t letting people leave the country?
Edit: just to add the Nigerian embassy has made arrangements with Warsaw to charter flights for their students who managed to get into Poland.
I fear Putin will destroy Ukraine, and attack another country, before any possibility of him being outsed happens.
Good thread of fakes. Somehow avoided seeing and believing most of these:
They will be fine. When they get to the point of selling thier kidneys and children to feed their families, then its bad (i.e. Afghanistan at the moment).How can the average Russian go about their daily business at this point.
Stupid question but is there any point in buying roubles for future gain?
