Lol. Who will bell the cat? |
I'm trying to understand how it improves work efficiency. |
Lol. I'm trying to imagine what would happen with most of these companies when the war is over. Would they just stroll back into Russia and expect business to continue as usual? Would the government allow them or give them stringent conditions? It would be interesting to see what life after the war would be for these companies. |
Hmmm. |
Hypocritical USA. |
Wannabenz:Are you answering them. Those ones are talking like people who forgot their brains at home. How can 12000 soldiers die with civilian casualties in hundreds; do people even think at all? How many Ukrainian soldiers have been killed? |
seunny4lif:All of them are avoiding the responsibility cos they are very sure Putin isn't joking right now and they want to absolve themselves from the blame. |
The polish government are smart. If they hadn't come up with this, they would have been the ones to bear the brunt of Russia's response. Since everyone knows Putin isn't joking about his statements, it has become very necessary to act wisely when getting involved in the Ukrainian issue. |
constance500:Are you answering that one? He doesn't even understand what he posted. A country that was the first to go to space for that matter. This matter just shows you how dumb and badly educated people can be. |
Keegan:I'm telling you. They all are passing the responsibility around. |
CoronaVirusPro:What kind of lie is this? How can 1 naira be 20,000 ruble? How did you even convince yourself to type this kind of rubbish in public? Does it make sense to you at all? Russia that is an export driven economy will have her currency fall so poor that the Nigerian import driven economy would have a better currency than Russia? |
This one does not even make sense at all. |
JuanDeDios:Where do you want him to source dollars to pay them with all the sanctions against him? I'm sure you know the west is at war with him and in war, all is fair. At least, he hasn't said he is not going to pay. He's only willing to pay in the currency available to him. When I said that all these sanctions would also affect the west, some people thought I was just typing. Some decisions we take with the aim of hurting the other party, can have serious effects on us too. US, UK, EU and Russia all need themselves and that's just the simple truth. |
TroubleMaker47:You do realize that the west are in war with Russia, right? And in war, all is fair. Don't forget that the west are busy seizing assets of influential Russians... |
Abegunde993: |
tonididdy:Leave that dude. He sounds like a complete novice. I've always said that business, economics and finance should be made a major topic for Nigerians so it gives them proper knowledge before they get out of school. It's just like someone who wants to buy okro from his next door neighbor, going to maiduguri to buy the okro and thinking it would come at the same cost, forgetting that there are other costs associated with buying from maiduguri. |
CoronaVirusPro:At what cost? You think the cost of supplying Nigerian or Canadian gas to Europe is cheap? The question is not about whether there is gas or oil elsewhere but at what cost. Simple economics. |
wenogodie2:I should be asking you that. |
wenogodie2:Did you check the source? |
naija4life247:I tire for them. Nothing has changed. |
LONDON, March 7 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson rejected calls on Monday for Britain to ease visa demands on Ukrainian refugees fleeing conflict, saying Britain was a generous country but it needed to maintain checks on who was arriving. The United Nations estimates that more than 1.5 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia started bombarding its neighbour, with hundreds of thousands pouring into Poland, Romania, Slovakia and elsewhere. Responding to criticism Britain was not doing enough and was far behind its European neighbours in helping address the continent's biggest humanitarian crisis since World War Two, Johnson said: "We are a very, very generous country. What we want though is control and we want to be able to check." he told reporters. "I think it's sensible given what's going on in Ukraine to make sure that we have some basic ability to check who is coming in." The British government has been condemned by charities, opposition lawmakers and France after its insistence that refugees first acquire a visa meant some Ukrainians have been stuck in the French city of Calais, unable to enter Britain, and provoking a diplomatic row. read more The European Union has agreed to grant temporary residency to Ukrainians fleeing the invasion and give them access to employment, social welfare and housing for up to three years. Britain has announced visa schemes for those who have family in the country or a willing sponsor. Media reports at the weekend said Britain had only issued about 50 visas for Ukrainians so far, although Johnson disputed that without giving further details. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer said: "There should be a simple route to sanctuary for those that are fleeing for their lives." "The Home office is in a complete mess about this, they keep changing the rules," he told the BBC. Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Britain was not doing nearly enough. It should let refugees in and deal with the paperwork later, she said. "Having fleeing the terror in Ukraine, spending hours and hours and hours on arduous journeys, then having to jump through bureaucratic hoops is unconscionable," she told LBC radio. Interior minister Priti Patel told the Sun newspaper she wanted to create a humanitarian route that would allow anyone from Ukraine to come to Britain. But Europe minister James Cleverly said he did not expect the existing requirements to change. "We can't do with 'no questions asked' because when people come to the UK we need to make sure they are supported," he said. Asked to clarify whether Patel was working on a third visa route, Britain's interior ministry sent a statement detailing existing measures but did not rule out future changes. "This is a rapidly moving and complex picture and as the situation develops we will continue to keep our support under constant review,” it said. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/britain-may-ease-immigration-rules-ukrainian-refugees-sun-2022-03-07/ |
doctokwus:Lol. Where did you hear or read all these gibberish you are typing? Ukraine having a better bargaining position? This is very ridiculous to the ear. |
Lol. Putin na bad guy sha. Paying them in rubles would obviously affect them when they want to collect their money. Very smart decision. |
Just as I have predicted, the sanctions would affect not just Russia but the international community in different ways. |
Natural-gas prices shot to record highs in Europe as intensifying fighting in Ukraine threatened to reduce supplies of the heating and power-generation fuel from Russia. Russian gas is still flowing through Ukraine in large quantities to customers in Europe. However, traders fear those supplies could be cut off as Russia intensifies its fighting, and that Russian gas supplied via other pipeline routes might get disrupted by Western sanctions on Moscow. Alternatives such as liquefied-natural gas from the U.S. would struggle to fill the hole left if Russian exports were removed, and come at huge expense as Europe competes with other gas-consuming regions for scant supplies. Those concerns drove futures contracts for gas in the northwest European market up 42% compared with Friday’s close to more than 270 euros, equivalent to $293, a megawatt-hour Monday. Earlier in the session, prices hit a record high of 345 euros. Before Friday, prices had never topped 200 euros, according to FactSet data stretching back to 2013. Before last year, they had never surpassed 30 euros. The surge in prices for a fuel widely used to heat homes and generate electrical power threatens to cause economic disruption in Europe, where energy-intensive industries including fertilizer and metal producers already had cut output in 2021 when prices were well below where gas traded Monday. The rise will likely cause difficulties for the European Central Bank, which has taken a more cautious approach to raising interest rates than the Federal Reserve and Bank of England in the face of rising inflation. The prospect of rapidly rising energy prices in Europe, which gets about 40% of its gas supplies from Russia, prompted the European Union and U.S. to refrain from including oil and gas in their initial rounds of sanctions. The U.S., however, said this weekend it is working on plans for an embargo on Russian oil with its allies. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-03-07/card/natural-gas-prices-in-europe-jump-to-record-highs-as-war-intensifies-RZeWDEgiOYW2XbAIJjTh

neuf:Google is there to help you in case you need to confirm my assertion. |
neuf:That was just an academic exercise. You clearly heard the leaders of most NATO countries vehemently opposing the idea of a no fly zone over Ukraine and stating clearly that it would bring them in direct conflict with Russia which is something they are all avoiding. |
neuf:Not correct. Even if the UN approves a no fly zone over Ukraine, no country will try to enforce it. Doing that would amount to drawing NATO and the US into the conflict and it is something they all are avoiding. |
VirileNelly2420:Like, I don't even understand what he was thinking and what gave him that kind of foolish courage. |
Patriot9:I have reiterated on this forum here that Europe, US and Russia all need themselves. They can't survive economically without each other. I for one feel the west is just trying to put pressure on Russia with these sanctions and it could backfire. Now, check this out. America can't do away with Russian oil. If they do, gas price in the US would soar higher and before you know it, protest would start. The government won't want to put that kind of pressure on themselves and as such, would not do away with the supply from Russia. But guess what? They are the ones screaming about sanctions most. Germany halted the nordstream 2 but desperately needs cheap gas from Russia that they can't get elsewhere. They know what it means to be cut off from that supply. Not just them but most of Europe. Russia and Ukraine supply the largest percentage of wheat globally. The crisis there is already making the price of wheat in the market go high... Russia on her part with the sanctions, is already seeing her currency rumble so fast. What it means is that they would earn less money than they have been earning with same level of supply. But guess what, they based their budget on $40 per barrel and as such, would still have just enough to keep them afloat. They are not going to just capitulate overnight. Even the US issuing the sanctions isn't immune from the whole thing. Imagine Russia and China doing a lot of trade with the yuan/rubble, the demand for the dollar(which by the way is what is keeping the US economy), drops. If other countries key into it and start trading more with the yuan and the demand for the dollar drops, the US will find herself in a very bad position eventually. Like I said, they all are going to be affected one way or the other. There's not one of them who would not be affected. |
Patriot9:With the war on and despite all the sanctions, America is still spending over millions of dollars daily buying oil from Russia. Europe is still spending billions of euros daily buying oil and gas from Russia despite all the sanctions. That's outside the trade Russia has elsewhere. 5% of Russian oil exports goes to the US and 60% goes to Europe with 20% going to China. 40% of Russian gas goes to Europe... Despite all the sanctions, the leaders of the US and all European countries have rejected the demand that oil and gas imports from Russia be stopped cos of the way it would affect both the US and the whole of Europe. You guys need to read properly and understand what is at stake. Russia is not Nigeria. Those who are placing sanctions on them but left the oil and gas deals in tact, aren't stupid. |
drake49:Check this 2009 Acura tsx out.
