SL secures a long-term Credit Line from Russia to procure fuel

Americans and Europeans killed thousands in third world countries, in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. But then no body talked about human rights. Now Russia is attacking its neighbour these Americans and Europeans are crying “human rights being violated “ by the Russians. We must either be neutral or support Russia in this conflict .

Hope this is true... while the OPEC cartel/mafia is ever increasing oil prices, only cheap sources for us must be Russia and perhaps Iran. Cheapest sources will keep costs lower for transport which all our citizens will surely want!

Everything we talk is only credit, credit and nothing more. Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. What a policy. To get 2.9 billion dollars the government is squeezing blood out of the people, so why not run behind the 40 billion dollars stolen by the so called family.

@HR, in most Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq they are killing each other before and since they got independence. Look at Nigeria - boko haram to Mali, Bukinafaso - ISIS, Yemen - Shia vs Sunni, Somalia - Al Shabab etc. The warped interpretation of Islam is destroying these countries and weakening followers of Islam. Memorising by rote the Koran doesn’t transfer to the thought processes required in a technical world. This is why 15 million Jews worldwide can smash and humiliate 1.5 billion Muslims. I am also told that in the streets of Sydney Australia muslims are killing each other

Still borrowing and this time long term credit. Does it mean that we don't pay them one day? Twenty Ministers and 40 State Ministers, what are they doing at the cost to our purse? has anyone contributed with new ways of making Forex?

Russia just initiated a discussion with Sri Lnkans and now they seems to think they've secured a line of credit. When your country is bankrupt and the politicians are responsible for it, who would give you a line of credit ? It sure has to be a gift, and Russia certainly in NO POSITION today for this to happen. 'From Russia with love' is only limited to a movie of 007.
