USA and UK: Let's just sanction Russia, basically steal $300 billion of their foreign reserves and take over and use their assets. That will show the rest of the world they can trust us and our financial system. And if they don't trust us we will invade them, sanction them or support colour revolutions until they succumb to our way of thinking.

Nope. The assets are owned by shareholders. In only one refinery does Russia own just over 50%.

Of trust :
We are not going to invade Ukraine.
We will not target civilians.
We will not target civilian infrastructure.
The crew of Moskva was evacuated.

Not sure about you but I'd rather have someone steal my money than massacre my family.

Long range missiles:​

Arestovych compares MGM-140 ATACMS to iPhone 8, which is already outdated and not in production. Perhaps would receive latest 500km missile (PrSM).
MFA Kuleba admitted, long range missiles are being discussed with . There are also other ranges – 120, 166, 220km. Likely they will only be revealed after multiple uses, when independent experts have already confirmed their use.

Chinese products speak for China. Absolute rubbish. They cannot get anything right not even pop rivets. The rivet shafts are made of cheap "metal" which is really just Western car parts melted down into a mish mash of impure stuff that resembles metal and they make stuff out of this that we buy at exorbitant prices. The pop rivet shaft snaps off every time and you are left with this sharp protrusion.

Chinese nuts and bolts, tools, hammers etc all complete ****. The spanners bend and rust, adjustable wrenches snap off at the head.

You cannot repair anything electrical from China because the units don't have wiring, it's all thin sheet metal conductors all connected with the potentiometers, lights, transformers all actually part of the metal housing and body. It is built to break and built to not be able to be fixed. Assuming you can actually break it open in the first place. They snap shut everything deliberately and seal it with glue.
They are awful, truly awful as manufacturers.

Agree completely. As a young man I got given a set of made in China screwdrivers. On the first screw the screwdriver deformed and the shank started to twist. Decided to use them as hammer drivers for unlocking lock washers. The handles were so brittle they shattered with the first tap of a hammer.
