Cyril, am still wondering whether you are as big a fan of the Light-giver as Pikey was.

Back to this thread, we'll know soon enough whether Putin's bluffing about unloading an AK47 into both the Euro and US dollar. Germany along with every other 'unfriendly' country can choose to lift the sanctions they imposed in order to pay for their energy needs as before.

The problem for the US and friends is they can't bully a country by via their go to method of bombing it mercilessly from 35,000 feet because Russia has the ability to Betty White all of them from the map.

I'm on the pop tomorrow. Will return with yet more necromancy on Saturday.
