Just enjoyin' my coffee.
According to a post on Urban 75 (IC3D, 2022), the mayor is fash. That's the evidence.
Literally put a caveat in there so pftI suspect IC3D shoots first and asks questions later.
Duncan, a successful oil trader before he became an MP, said that this morning, in the course of just three hours, the price of natural gas on the futures market almost doubled. It has since settled, he said, but he explained why this was so worrying.We’ve got to be careful not to sanctions ourselves.
There is this auction of indignation, which all of us totally understand, against anything to do with Russia.
So they ban this, ban that and ban everything, but in the end, we’re going to end up banning our own supplies.
Now, we of course want to disadvantage Russia, as an essential tool of war. But we don’t want to disadvantage ourselves so that we fall into some kind of dystopian economic collapse. We are on the edge of that.
Asked if he was talking of the possibility of supplies of gas just not being available, Duncan replied:What this means is that the companies which supply gas throughout Europe, won’t be able to pay their margin calls in the futures market. They risk going bankrupt within a matter of days.
And the whole process of distribution of gas across Europe, which affects all of us in every single respect, is not just a matter of price now, it’s a matter of the logistics of actually being able to supply it.
And the danger of this massive spike in futures markets is that although the volume might still be there, the corporate mechanisms, the companies needed to keep it moving, will have folded.
Yes, I am. Price in the end you can cope with, although at the moment,we’re looking at gas which is in excess of the equivalent of $600 oil. Now, that’s the price.
But if the effect of that price is destroy the supply, then you have no gas.
And the thing about gas is you cannot substitute it in the way that you can more easily do so with oil. With oil, we can ship it from somewhere else.

This is where the fash are fighting so worth scrutiny esp whether they are going off piste regarding civilians and tactics. You want to trust them go for it they are violent neo Nazis fuck them
Lol
We know there are violent neo Nazis in both Ukraine and Russia. Your caveat was "I may be misremembering" but for such a serious allegation, you have to do better than that. Please substantiate that this is a fascist stronghold and the mayor is fash... or verify that you misremembered and were talking shite.Literally put a caveat in there so pft

Well, he looked at a friend of a friend in the kind of way that only a fash would. Or so I read somewhere.'The mayor is fash'? You got any evidence?
the caveat was you need to fact check. what has your fact check revealed?Literally put a caveat in there so pft

So has the company Mrs 2003 works for. They're owed millions by Russian companies-their biggest market.My company's actually donating a decent sum to charities supporting Ukrainian refugees and is matching any donations made by employees too. They've also stopped doing any business in Russia.
Gonna need to order some more tiny violins here
He's a centrist dad and, a couple of weeks ago, would have counted as pro-Russian.According to a post on Urban 75 (IC3D, 2022), the mayor is fash. That's the evidence.
my tiny violins have never been so popularGonna need to order some more tiny violins here
Could you please clarify what you mean by this?
tbh that may offer a way out but i think that putin has really shafted himself by being so utterly untrustworthy. i think it'd be signing his own death warrant for vz to sign anything like thatObviously this comes with the caviat that the source is a big teller of fibs, but this might suggest a way out:
Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms - Kremlin
Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations "in a moment" if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday.www.reuters.com
Thanks Raheem, so a centrist rather than fash... so I'm wondering what that makes IC3D - a red-brown shitstain, a Putinite disinformation bot or just someone foolishly applying the "scratch a liberal..." saying.He's a centrist dad and, a couple of weeks ago, would have counted as pro-Russian.
The mayor of Mariupol, not IC3D.
His party is basically from the ashes of Party of Regions, which was Viktor Yanukovych's party.
or simply 'misremembering'. surprised he's gone so quietThanks Raheem, so a centrist rather than not fash... so I'm wondering what that makes IC3D a red-brown shitstain, a Putinite disinformation bot or just someone foolishly applying the "scratch a liberal..." saying.

the only context i can imagine putin, time, and good behaviour all being in the same sentence is 'putin will be out in fifteen years if he gets time off for good behaviour' or similar.True, but I think he is the only one who could ever deliver it with any legitimacy in Ukraine. Trust can only be gained back now by time and good behaviour.

I'm not. He does that when asked to substantiate.
As well as doing it for the lols, the 'we're all in on this joke' morale booster, I think there's an underlying deeper, strategic message: I'm real, there's no fakery here, I'm truthful, what you see is what you get, I'm trustworthy, I'm here with you and for you. The messaging in terms of the nonverbal communication is very strong.Little touches like that are going to be a big morale-booster for Ukraine. He knows he doesn't have to say anything, he knows everyone knows what he just did, so it's a way of saying "I get the joke, too", which is going to make people believe he sees the same shit they do, and notices (and cares about) it.
Contrast that with, say, Boris Johnson's heavy-handed attempts to try and say "I'm just like you people, too", and in doing so makes himself look ever more out of touch.
I've just been speaking to a Polish colleague. He says there were rumours of shortages of petrol/food in Poland when this first started but those seem to have calmed down. He reckons the Polish government is doing very little and it's NGOs/charities/normal people who're putting what support there is in place. He's reasonably far away from the border with Ukraine but says there are a lot of settled Ukrainian families where he is and they're very involved in fundraising/collecting donations.
My company's actually donating a decent sum to charities supporting Ukrainian refugees and is matching any donations made by employees too. They've also stopped doing any business in Russia.
