Ukraine - post your silver linings. Only positivity allowed!

[matticus]

I believe there is ALWAYS a silver lining. Here are some possibles:
- UK moving away from gas
- The West becoming more aware of the tragedy of refugees from war.
- The Russians overthrowing Putin
- The Brits finally kicking out anyone corrupted by Russian money (oh, and a few oligarchs as collateral damage :P )


Any more?

- UK moving away from gas - We'll buy it at great expense from the Arab States in those LNG ships at extortionate rates, we need a lot to generate electricity
- The West becoming more aware of the tragedy of refugees from war. - They know already having caused so much of it
- The Russians overthrowing Putin - Isn't going to happen
- The Brits finally kicking out anyone corrupted by Russian money (oh, and a few oligarchs as collateral damage :P ) - Giving them 30 days to move it out of London and out of all those MP's that have received Russian money not one has gone.

Any at all ?

After the end of the world.. the Rapture!

We're doomed! Doomed I tell yee

My cunning plan has worked - smoking out all the negativity pits who should be thrown overboard first in any crisis.

Hoorah!

You don't rate the Rapture as a positive?
How about this then:
The end of the world means the end of the Marvel franchise.

You failed at the first post and the backpedalling was lacking in effort . But hey at least you tried

Is that thing still going?

Having seen Eternals - that's a really big positive.

Any IT people who have ever wanted to have a go at a production implementation of RFC 2549??

If so there is a job opening in Russia.

( Sorry - very very geeky - look it up if you dare
if you already understand - isn't it nice on the dark side!!)

Putin has got our dearly beloved prime minister off the hook for now.

The one-time comedian, Zelenskiy, is demonstrating to our comic-turn in No10 how to do leadership. Not that Johnson will learn anything from him.

Anyone with shares in BAE systems might see all this as positive...

Nice to see you care Ian!

As always, I am sure there will be winners and losers, always a buying opportunity somewhere.

Comrade mjr has just inspired another one:

Huge fuel price hikes will effectively move car taxation almost entirely onto fuel - this will persuade at least one person (maybe 2?) to switch to active travel for a few (even several?) journeys a month.
