General discussion, page-2545

I am sitting here watching the war in the Ukraine unfold and I am not going to lie, I am slightly concerned. I am concerned about not only the people of the Ukraine, but for how the West is going to view Mali and it's 1000 Russian mercenaries they have brought in.
I think the conflict that has unfolded in the last couple of hours presents a huge possible risk to LLL as the West impose sanctions on countries see to be aiding the enemy, Russia. I don't think anyone can be naive enough to say that this couldn't be a possibility.
Lets just hope the world comes to its senses and leaves the POG and POL high.
Thoughts?
