Hmm American diaspora whether Israeli Irish or Ukrainian - you can never rely on factual accuracy. Also unless Putin dies there is zero chance of those terms being anything but laughed at. That said would be happy if these reports are even half right.

Huge queues at one of our local filling stations this evening, whilst another was out of diesel, and another had no customers at all. Whether they had fuel I don't know. Panic buying for sure. Anyone else seen this? Noticed longer than usual queues, when I filled up but not like the driver scare.

I expect Steeleye's last words would be "we deserve it, Mr. Putin is totally justified in nuking us as we are warmongers and genocidal".

As I understand it there is no way back from proper radiation poisoning, Iodine might help with a mild dose but more likely it's an attempt to make the patient feel better that something is being done.

I wouldn't worry about it, he'll be holed up safe in his nuclear bunker with the rest of the establishment so I doubt he will care. On the other hand I can see Russian tanks being fined for non payment of the congestion charge and low emissions zone.
