Wisdom of the Crowd: 78% of the respondents said that Russia has a legitimate concern about Ukraine joining NATO as it will allow the NATO countries to place their missiles close to the Russian border.
In the case of PSP inquiring between the real and converted Singaporeans, they know that if they adopt the defensive and secretive response, it creates suspicion in the minds of the people. What we do know is that the vast majority of non-muslims from Muslim countries have taken up citizenships here. The reason they do not want to give a direct answer could be because we might be accused of snatching their skilled people. Countries would not want to admit that their people left, but we lured them? Another reason for avoiding a war?
Interesting side effect of European sanctions on Russia (as per Phil Seymour - President of the association of European Leasing Companies.
All over the word airlines don't own their own planes, they lease them.
The European Union has imposed sanctions on Russia and obliged European leasing companies to take back all leased aircraft from Russia by March 28th.
That's a total of 520 aircraft.
Phil Seymour, President of the Association of European Leasing Companies:
1. Return of 520 aircraft! How is this to be done? The Russians said if you refuse to lease them to us, get them back yourself! How can we get 520 crews to Russia when the airspace in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is closed? We can't fly in!
2. Once the handover has taken place in Russian airports, the planes will no longer be Russian. But a non-Russian plane is not allowed to fly in Russian airspace – the Russian airspace is blocked! We won't be able to fly out!
3. However, the leasing companies are the initiators of the termination of these leases. In the original calculation of the cost of fines in such a case, we will all be bankrupted at once. It's easier and cheaper to go bankrupt than to take back the planes.
4. February is over and Russia has to pay the lease payments for the month. Russia is willing to pay but cannot pay because it is excluded from SWIFT. We ourselves have to pay fines because of the terminations, but in view of the lack of incoming payments from Russia we have no money for such payments!
5. Even if we take back these planes, what are we going to do with them? We don't need them, nobody wants them and it's impossible to sell them!
6. The Boeings of American leasing companies are not affected. If Europe takes the planes away from the Russians, the US will supply Russia with its Boeing planes and become the world's No. 1 airline, bankrupting both the European leasing company and Airbus."
Vladimir Putin didn’t just invade Ukraine on 24/02/2022, he officially ended the petrodollar system.
Bad things happen to allow the world and countries to evaluate the importance of relevancies?
ReplyDeleteLooking at the way things are going in this country sometimes makes us wonder if there is anyone in charge?
ReplyDeleteDo you think Istana and 38 Oxley got bomb shelter?
ReplyDeletehe art of war. Do you know why reserves had to be a big secret? In my humble opinion,
ReplyDeletewould be if revealed we only have $100, neighbours will know that we have no money to
defend ourselves. If they hear that we have $100 trillion, they would also want to take
over a super-rich country? For security reasons, PMLEE did the right thing for the country.
Do reserves need to be highly protected?
