Their wheel was squeaking so the Nazi's took the only acceptable steps and used a machine mounted on a tank to kill them.

Knock on effects closer to home:

The Centre for Economics and Business Research has issued a chilling scenario analysis which calculates the likely knock on effect from Russian sanctions on global commodity prices and consequently UK inflation. They expect GDP growth this year will be halved – down from a previously forecast 4.2% in 2022 to 1.9%, with growth in 2023 reduced to zero. They calculate the reduction in GDP to cost more than £90 billion per annum…

Higher commodity prices will:

Reduce the level of disposable income by 1.9% in 2022 and by 2.1% in 2023. As a result they estimate disposable incomes will fall in 2022 by 4.8%, with a further fall of 1.4% in 2023. The fall in 2022 is the largest since records started in 1955.

The forecast fall in living standards this year is an estimated £71 billion – which amounts to £2,553 per household. The part of it due to invasion of Ukraine is about half – £35 billion (£1,259 per household) – with a further reduction from this source in 2023 of £29 billion (£1,043 per household).

The combined effects of sanctions and slower world trade growth reduce export growth in 2022 by 2.1% and by 0.5% in 2023. Export growth was previously predicted to be 3.0% this year and 0.4% next so these combined impacts more or less wipe out the predicted export growth.

Inflation by Q4 2022 is likely to be 4.1 percentage points higher than CEBR previously forecast. They now expect quarterly CPI inflation to hit 8.7% in Q2 and to remain above 7% until Q1 2023.

The CEBR now expects the Bank of England to guide interest rates to 1.25% in 2024 rather than the previous forecast of 2%.
CEBR’s analysis was based on oil and other commodities being at lower prices than they actually are today.

Don't hold your breath Steve. If tF were around in 1939 he'd have been justifying Germany's right to invade Poland.

He'll make up some convoluted bullshit, so as to not disagree with it, but also not to agree with it, that or deflection, deflection, deflection.

And that part won't necessarily be started by Putin, but by the crazy Christian fundamentalist politicians in the States. Their "Armageddon."
