Nick: fair point, but I didn’t comment about it being good or bad. Bernie, whether you like or dislike the horrible little man has made billions over the last 15 years. He has power, lots of power. Sanctions by governments can have a political effect but very rarely have a physical effect. Commercial blackmail by the real people with financial power is more effective, probably regarding agreements and obligations that the general public are totally unaware of.
My comment above was not related to the “evils” of Russia or any other country that has its own peculiarities that many of us in our own country cannot agree with. It was regarding mainly the dangers of having a high profile multi-million pound event happening so close to a dispute. Similar to Bahrain, but this time with heavily armed terrorists. Secondly, if it is proven that the Russians are in fact supporting the Ukranian separatists, probably responsible for the downing of MH17, and did in fact provide the weapons, then why take a hugely financial benefit to their country. Thirdly, the cowardly insensitive animals that have desicrated the site and refused access to the international bodies need to be brought to justice and maybe the F1 circus, (Bernie power) can persuade the Russian authorites to do something right for once.
Well, after the events of the last 24 hours I personally think that the F1 circus should boycott the new Russian Venue.
The circuit is less than 200 miles from the Crimea, and less than 500 miles from the disputed Ukranian territory. Based on the turmoil following the tragic, criminal, lawless shooting down of an innocent passenger airliner, it is obvious that the warring factions have too much firepower and no sense as to how to use it. The backpeddling of the 3 parties involved shows that there is absolutely no concern for the consequences of actions by any group. I wouldn’t go within 5000 miles of that place let alone spend a weekend visiting bringing money to it’s coffers. BOYCOTT RUSSIA.Will be watching HD pics from Spanish TV and 5live commentary… as I did this morning for Qualy. BBC hi-lights at 1 were very disappointing, no inbetween chatting. FAIL.
