| Basically, pro Ukraine stuff seems to be being suppressed, and some Russian talking points tentatively echoed | |||

billynomates said: My first thought on that is that they don't know what they're talking about, but like a lot of things today it probably depends on where they're getting their news. I had thought that China didnt approve of the recent Russian actions in Ukraine, what is the coverage like on Chinese news sources? Yeah, they’re consuming propaganda/heavily censored social media, so that massively sways opinion. The official Chinese position (ie what you see on the media, which is 100% state controlled) seems tentative but more pro Russia position than with Ukraine. | |||

| Interesting the mood here in China is very pro Russia going on the offensive, including among totally normal, non-politically engaged people. | |||

| I could see it as useful for old people or physiotherapy for someone recovering from injury etc. But yes, it looks totally ridiculous! | |||

| # SSB box squat + 2x chains 80 in plates/bar x 8 90 x 6 100 x 1. Failed second rep. Plan was four haha. Legs still fatigued from yesterday + calorie deficit (this week only), I think # front squat hold/pause front squat 130 x 30s 90 x f… obviously I’m nackered and hadn’t realised it. Was feeling lethargic but not necessarily weak. The 80s last session were easy. Decided to sack off heavy stuff # partial db leg extensions Just the stretched part of the movement x 5 sets # triceps 11 sets various # single arm ring hangs 3 per hand Crap session. Oh well, it happens | |||

Post Edited: 01.03.2022 @ 01:10 AM by Nimble luki said:Sanctions have been overused for years on Russia and China. Russia has had sanctions since 2014! They will intertrade with BRICS and continue to ignore them. I was wondering if the lack of reaction by Europe and USA will embolden China to take Taiwan. The Americans sailed through the China straight again yesterday and are on a military mission there today. It's like they want war on two sides of the world. From what I’m seeing, the SWIFT and central bank sanctions are on a whole different level to what’s happened before? | |||

| Last year I made a 90ish stone and it’s now got a bit too easy so I made another. It’s 130-140. Tried a few picks today (with tacky) and it felt like it was going to pull the skin off my forearms. Not abrasion but like pulling. Is that normal? Anything bad actually ever happen in that regard? Do sleeves help? | |||

KevC86 said: Putin hasn't lost anything. The economic sanctions don't matter to him. The wider world's view of Russia doesn't particularly concern him. He will eliminate Ukraine as it currently exists because he won't let Nato get that close to his borders. There is no scenario in which he pulls out before victory is achieved. He will win, it's really just a matter of what shape that victory takes and what it costs. I don’t doubt he’ll “win”, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory. If you’re right that “The economic sanctions don't matter to him” — his actions suggest you are — then it would seem to be evidence that he’s insane. The jury was still out on that until a week ago. These sanctions are now very, very serious. Though I’m shooting from the hip here. I’ve not looked much into it in. | |||
