Is "oan yer trolley" a legit weegie term? 

It looks like someone randomly compiling a selection of the slogans on those "hilarious" Scottish patter mugs and t-shirts you get in tartan shops...for starters, nobody would say "Oi" in Glasgow....it's "Haw" and always has been.

In other news, anyone attempting to access Pornhub from a Russian IP is apparently now greeted with a Ukrainian flag. Sanctions are biting.

Must be as no one east of Bishopbriggs has ever said bawbag.

Maybe oan yer trolley is some sort of Stranraer patter.

If he has now actually threatened Sweden and Finland, it has all ramped up several gears. 

The key player in all this is probably still China though. If they could be persuaded to distance themselves from Putin and fall in line with sanctions, it would make a significant difference, as moving forward a lot of Russian trade will be designed to be done with China, with them losing out on European markets. Of course the size of China's military is somewhat important as well.

We need to reach a situation where it is essentially Russia/Belarus v Everyone Else. Time for America to scrabble around and see what serious diplomatic offers they can make to the Chinese.

There's very little benefit to moving an ICBM a few hundred kilometres.

Willy waving.

The minimum range for that ICBM is 2000km, moving it to Moscow means its not able to be used against Ukraine and can only be used against a target in Europe west of Berlin.

Can't it zoom around the world a few times, cartoon style?
