If enforced, this "plan" is a big win for bunker gramps:
1) US is shown to be venal, corrupt and easily bought
2) Europe is weak, welfare-obsessed and divided
3) NATO has nice gear but zero decision-making power and inept at confronting asymmetric attacks
That more than offsets his military failures

Oh yeah first we'll debate whether it's significant.
Then debate whether it's deliberate
Not least, need to debate whether it's sustained (after all that debating time)
And finally, if all those conditions are satisfied, we'll discuss it

Isn't that precisely why the Panorama saga is so bad?
BBC news is a trusted brand for so many around the world. And someone made a conscious decision to sex up the programme, thereby letting down millions who came for proper investigative journalism

What went wrong/how to fix are relevant Qs
I (like many around the world) like BBC & would rather see it fixed.
Doesn't excuse what happened. Somebody made a conscious decision to sex up the story. If it was local news, fine, but this has a global audience.

Panorama is pitched as deep-dive investigative journalism
The whole point is to do the hard work others don't.
When the FT ran eg the wirecard project, it was done properly. And that's what subscribers pay for.
Except we have no choice, so the BBC should be held to a higher than average standard

💯. dictating would not be a good idea. I'm just saying there could be a way, if and only if the fund thought it a good investment, for them to insure (part) of the risk in bond form.
It's a niche but normal investment product

It could be structured though. A bit like a catastrophe bond issued by the government
Gov pays interest to SWF
If event happens within specified period, principal goes to 0 (ie government keeps the money, pays it on)
plenty legal/risk mgt work to do but possible

Why would they sell it back to Lukoil with all those pesky external shareholders? This way it can just be owned directly by Putin & friends at a discounted price

Their debt restructuring laws (yeah I know, laws in Russia..) are also not geared towards a rapid rehabilitation. Making it *much* harder for the economy to recover once bankruptcies start
