Netanyahu outlines the post-war plan for the first time as as expected it's fluff that shows there's zero interest in bringing the conflict to an end anytime within the coming many years.Comment

Intelligence services know exactly who is buying what and and where it ends up, they could stop it all overnight if they wanted, I would put money on MP’s profiting from it and that’s why it hasn’t been shut off.Originally posted by Anpanman View PostThe video segment here is well worth a few minutes of your time;

It's a tricky business. Manufacturers have a list of places they can't export to and will obey those rules. Why would we impose sanctions on Georgia though? They've done nothing wrong. We can't impose sanctions of a country that we think might not follow the rules (the companies buying these goods will have stated that their final destination is not on the UK list of restricted countries).Comment

Anything that can and would go into weapons will be well known where it’s going and who it ends up in the hands of, then where it’s being sold onto.
Years ago before the war, but when sanctions started on Russia, I couldn’t even get fishing bait into a good customer I had over there, so how the F**K are they allowed to get their hands on weapons parts in the middle of a war? Because it’s been allowed by someone that’s how.Comment

You could have got fishing bait to someone in Georgia though. And they could have told you it was just for them and then forwarded it on to your russian customer. If your customer found a proxy buyer in Georgia no? Obviously we're talking about fishing bait so that's too much effort but if you're Russia and you need arms to fight a war then you make that effort. The UK can't impose sanctions on Russia and all companies in any country that they think might lie about the final destination of those goods. We know it doesn't work and I'm sure the government knows as well. It's just lip service but I don't really see how they can solve this issue.Comment

You really can when it involves weapons, weapons parts or guidance systems, basically anything technical Russia doesn’t have the know how to manufacture themselves.Originally posted by Brad View Post
This isn’t the 1800’s where you can slip someone a few bob to turn a blind eye, everything is checked, everything is watched from start to finish in transport, anyone dealing with weapons is vetted and watched, it’s major work to get these types of things out the UK or EU.
So if Russia if getting these parts out the UK, it’s because someone in government is helping them, it’s that clear cut.Comment

Given Isael won't be able to help itself (and because Netenyahu will be able to use it to stop elections from occuring and so not lose power), larger regional war.
Why are all world leaders such utter utter clowns?Comment
