Any idea?
Normally business planning involves looking at how long you need to keep your head down, but all the businesses I speak to have no idea how this ends.
We are looking at another rise in interest rates despite the fact that its not working (No surprise there)
What's your predictions?

When the usual remnants acknowledge the fact that the EU are not doing well now they no longer have treasure Island. |

The west is bankrupt, as is America, no one will call in chits, if one goes down we all do. God knows, many years. An additional handicap is the politics, we all suffer when its left v right, or left v yellow. As in any war there are casualties, and in Britain its common sense, progress, and wealth.
In war we unite, we need something like that now. Haiti is now worse off than Somalia and Afghanistan, children are starving etc, nothing will improve while Russia makes war, Britain will continue to deteriorate especially with the parties ignoring the electorate, something bad is coming. You could call the tories and labour psychotic.
Task no 1 is defeating Russia, you cant have a wild animal, madmen running wild. If the war continues for years, the economics of the world will go lower constantly. Revolution is in the air in America, the democrats are dictators, cheats, corrupt, nutters. Its going to kick off. Treump IS targeted.

If you listened to the press there would never be a right time to do it. The thing to remember is during a downturn the market wants value for money, so as usual think how you can improve it. I mean stay focused. |

Russians will defeat Putin eventually. Putin can't beat NATO and throwing civilians on the fire is stoking revolution. |

I actually have no idea. The last few board meetings the discussion has been how wrong the last predictions have been. Then best you put your hand in your pocket and pay some experts for an opinion rather than expect people on a forum, many of whom you regularly disagree with, to provide you with advice. Most unprofessional. |

They can't defeat Russia. It is too strong. You will have to learn to get on with Russians, like you will have to learn to get on with Chinese. Russians will defeat Putin eventually. Putin can't beat NATO and throwing civilians on the fire is stoking revolution. President Putin is already beating Nato. You will see more evidence of this in the coming weeks as they have a very large army which according to what I hear are just getting into position. We're talking about 650 000. Most of Ukraine's army is smashed to pieces. Washington looks like it wont back down, so this forces Russia to gain control of all of Ukraine. Their alternative is pretty much just take the Eastern half up to the Dnieper River, but if they do this and Washington is still feeding the other half with missiles they are going to have to wipe out the entire regime and take control of the nation, something I hear President Putin would prefer not to do.
You could say, well OK so Nato's army is huge, but think about it. Look at the political situation in Germany and similar. This is impossible politically. OK they could say push it through if they tried but as soon as body bags started to be returned from the frontline all hell would break loose in the country and the government would be forced out and an anti-war government elected.It only worked in Iraq because the Iraqis were crap military men. With Russia it is in their blood. They are battle-hardened.

Most unprofessional. Oh yes, the experts 😒 Its a discussion forum, I know that's not what you do here, but then my question was not directed at you. I'm interested in whether other people on here are finding the current situation unpredictable. |

You guess wrong again here Baron. Russia army has been seen for what it is, ill equipped and ill trained. Even the West was surprised at how poor they are. There own private militia refuse to fight alongside them. The soldiers are now untrained conscripts, the people of Russia are openly criticising Putin now despite the threats of 15 to 20 year jail sentences for doing so. |
