"Furiously mastertweeting into an empty room." A dis for the ages. Dom rules.

I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion on seizing Russian assets and looking at paths for Russian funds to pay for the destruction they have caused.

"The big orange elephant in the room". Brilliant!

The rest of Europe should publicly ban playing matches against Russia.

It would seem obvious that when a truce or treaty is eventually signed, Russia will as a precondition require that the assets be RETURNED.

Among the very best of all the podcasts on the subject of the war in Ukraine

Lol Dom - "I do now"

Furiously master tweeting into an empty room.🤣🤣🤣

Pretty sure I did read euro clear actually has assets in Russia for clients at pretty close lvls... funny theft can always be made legal.

Washington's supplies to the Kiev regime will in no way affect the course or results of the special military operation, they only make things worse for the Ukrainians themselves, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Commenting on the words of US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland about "surprises" for Russia on the battlefield, the spokesman said: "As for surprises - yes, the United States, as a direct participant in this conflict, maintains and increases the degree of its direct involvement in this conflict, continues to provoke the Kiev regime to continue the war. This can in no way affect the course of the special military operation. And this can in no way affect the outcome of the special military operation, all goals will be achieved. The Americans are making it more painful for the Ukrainians, the Americans are making it so that more Ukrainians die. It is the Americans who are doing this, and they should understand this.".

Mastertweeting..... love it. Never heard that one before.

Why does sunak always sound like an awkward schoolboy.

Slava Ukraini!

Bill Browser interview with CNN explains how to get Russian assets too Ukraine

I’m a proud Anglo Saxon who lives in Angland…..

" The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." (Churchill always got the best quotes)....." History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."

together we are the biggest sea nations in the world

When did Turkey enter into a traditional role between East and West? 1919? Or at some time after the Armenian genocide and the expulsion of all the Greeks?

dom. " i do now." me too don. 🙂 always good to learn things. good useful important vital information. your work is very important to getting the word out. Bless Ukraine and Bless the AFU My heart is breaking for the peaceful people of Ukraine. May Ukraine have all defense systems to protect itself possible saint javelin #CrimeaIsUkraine saint Himars #WhatWeAreFightingfor

Also, all the most common, every day words are almost all Anglo-Saxon. A few are Norse.

This podcast reports a Ukrainian official as saying that there would be ''no strategic gains even if Avdiivka is taken by Russia.'' The thousands of Ukrainian soldiers that sacrificed their lives in Bakhmut heard the same rhetoric. If, as most accept, the fighting is attritional in nature, then even if more Russian than Ukrainians are being killed in the Avdiivka area, they can absorb the losses - Ukraine cannot. Zaluzhny's desperate call for an additional 500,000 mobilised men makes this clear.

I’m here Adam. I listen to Dom and then I usually fall asleep.

I do not agree that taking the assets of a country that has launched an unprovoked war would undermine the confidence of world markets. All it does is really set the precedent that wars of aggression have a direct financial cost to the aggressor so don't do it. It would also act like a canary in the coal mine if an agreesive state starts pulling their money back home perhaps they are planning to go to war.

'Mastertweeting'. 😆😆😆

Love these podcasts.Thankyou all.

The best daily information brief on war in Ukraine i have found on youtube.Thankyou for your efforts,keep up the great work.Fremantle Western Australia - Slava Ukraini

Nice to have some light brought onto the sports side of it. It may be worth looking into what the UFC are doing. I unsubscribed from their platform before Chris due to the number of Russians competing. Almost all big fights where dominated by Russians and that then gives them the chance to spew their thoughts after the match

the message he has to bring is to unite the new each and kingdoms once more stand up for the right in the world I don't care about the EU I care about the United Kingdom to get a within each and Kingdoms bring that into bear and the world will see something different we are human we always do the best we can to protect people around the world now let's Stand Together as the new each and Kingdoms as we were supposed to

The irony is that both the football clubs´ names, Slovan and Slavia, are related to the word "Slavic". The clubs were named in the late 19th / early 20th century as part of the Czech and Slovak defiance against Austria-Hungary. The Czech club Slavia is one of the best, and it has a Ukrainian star player, Taras Kacharaba. It was him who alerted me to the war on February 24th, 2022. The first thing I saw on Facebook was him singing, and the whole stadium with him! "UKRAINE! UKRAINE!" It was such a positive shock that Czechs, for whom "Ukrainian" had been a synonym for "blue collar worker" and had never been able to agree on anything, were so absolutely united in their support of Ukraine. At that moment, I understood a HUGE event had taken place and the world had changed.

In the meantime million dollars' worth of military equipment WENT MISSING😂

I was very interested to hear the response to the questions from Dom to Lord Ricketts as he appears to have a very common sense approach albeit with a diplomatic flavour. I have long held the view that despite the legal ramifications, of which I have little understanding of the details, a solution MUST be found to utilise Russian assets for the good of Ukraine. With all of the institutions involved such as the EU, NATO etc., I am constantly amazed that there were very few chess players around at the time the constitutions were established. How can there be a veto for example from one EU partner that can constipate the remaining 26! Even the UK jury system occasionally allows for a majority verdict when a unanimous one can't be found! For my part, I also cannot understand that in establishing a free world order where an international court also has jurisdiction over that agreed order, a means of utilising seized assets of a confirmed aggressor cannot be legally distributed to the victims of the aggressor. I'm no mathematician but if the war in Ukraine were to continue for any length of time, the interest from those assets alone could be mind-boggling and are we going to give this to Russia at the end of hostilities just because we cannot conceive of any fair way of using it constructively?

Russia should not be allowed to participate in any international sporting or cultural events while they illegally occupy Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! And go Anglo-Saxons.

TPP, WTO, Eutopean security, nah.

UK is pretending to support ucroina wearing down the mighty Russian bear, but the brits are very limited in their capacity. They will not be able to hold on to Islas Malvinas for long now it is a certain thing.

Shouldn’t Russia be banned from international sports due to alleged (and/or indicted) criminal war activities, such as violation their neighbor’s soverignty?

"The money is there" What about all the poor and disadvantaged people left behind?

Alfred, a man of Education, the law, and national defense is a man we are proud of. Winston Churchill was a man that admirably stood by Russia in it's darkest days when Hitler broke his treaty with Stalin. Dimitri, we will keep our heros; we want nothing to do with yours.

Plane could be carring both or would that be illegal with POW on board

In politics, countries have different allies than when it comes to defence. As a Norwegian, the Joint Expeditionary Force contains every country that we would look to in a war situation. Our closest ally for defence was always the UK.

Russian money in international banks to be loaned to Ukraine. 'If Putin thinks he owns Ukraine he should have no objection to directing to Ukraine.' Political will to enable Ukraine to win such as interest on frozen assets is a logičal next step.

Ukraine definitely needs a draft because apparently too many men are too reluctant to fight for their country. That is discouraging. I honestly expected millions to sign up.

In reply to Dom's point of is it okay for people to have fun during time of war. I compare it to London 20 years ago whilst we were having terrorist bombs exploding (7-7), I recall someone (it might have been BoJo) saying the best way to fight terrorism to is not let it hamper your life, to live, to enjoy and exercise the freedoms that those wish to disrupt. Basically giving terrorism the two-finger salute.

Also Fury 100% got into Vlads head before their fight. This clown has no idea about boxing

I can't imagine what Ukrainian soldiers on the front line and Ukrainians in general must think of this 'report' on sports; seems very tone deaf.

At the end of this conflict reconstruction will be an issue in russ as well as Ukraine. In the event democratic forces emerge in russ, as unlikely as that may seem now, resources will need to be found to support them.

Meanwhile, Clownsky committed a new terrorist attack in Lisichansk - 28 people were killed. 4 terrorist attacks in 2 months.

Spending the Russian assets is called STEALING.

The amount of rubbish here is hard to swallow 🤣🤣🤣

At least the Russians have a country, people and borders of their own, can describe what their own people look like and can define what a woman is. Unlike us in Britain. Moscow is Russian, Grozny is Chechen and Yakutsk is Yakut, whereas London resembles a cross between Pakistan and the Congo.

this is crap information. sorry

Russia at all times they denied their misdeeds. The plane carrying POWs was shot by Russians not Ukrainians as claimed by Russians.

Unless investors plan on invading a democratic country, I don't know why they'd worry about investing in the EU.

for "seizing Russian assets" substitute "stealing Russian assets"

It is frustrating to hear ongoing speculation about the sacking of Zaluzhny. We all have to stand in unity and stop commenting on it. This news talking is not good for Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Does anybody else find it funny that the Russian propagandists don't seem to know where the Anglo-Saxons come from 😂

Is Ukraine still exist in

Thieves

Is General Z a Russian asset or what? Ukraine has a democratically elected leader and that leader wants to can general Z, which makes sense given his epic failure in 2023. Additionally, his consistent op-eds in foreign newspapers is ridiculous and any nato leader would be court martialed for such actions. General Z needs to live is thats what the democratically elected leader of Ukraine has asked for. That's how democracies work.

Ukraine is losing. Stop the war.

I dare u! I double dare u. Nobody will invest in europe again
