    USSR invades Ukraine.

    It's exactly this. Western countries believing their way is best and trying to impose their belief systems on others regardless of their cultural, religious beliefs etc. China, Russia etc don't care what your LGBTQ etc rules are if there' s money or influence on offer. There's around 10...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    The bulk of corruption is at low levels - pretty much similar to what i encountered in my early years in Hungary. It's a cash to a policeman not to give you a speeding ticket or to a doctor to get preferential treatment or a local govt official to get paperwork processed quickly or get your kids...

    How poor is ECB spinner development when they're having to call up a 20 year old who has only played 6 first class games (just 10 wickets in those games) ?

    Gordon Milne - Highlights of a Remarkable Career

    Milne was my "first manager". 1977/78 we were top 2 or 3 for goals scored but we couldn't defend for love nor money - lot of injuries at the back Inc Graham Oakey who could have had an outstanding career.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Their actions have been condemned by many govts and the EU as terroristic. If they were a clearly organized group (s) then they'd likely be labelled a terrorist group (s).

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Said it before these settlers are a huge problem when it comes to time to hopefully seek a 2 state solution. Large number of religiously motivated armed settlers that are not going to be moved willingly. They are the ones voting in these extreme Nationalist parties that are propping up Netanyahu...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    It's becoming increasingly obvious that this was a planned attack designed to provoke a massive response from Israel. The aims of the attack were far more politically & psychologically- based than any military goals.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Doesn't care. No credible threat as they are either in prison or left the country. Hard to have a political debate when it's now a prisonable offence to criticize the govt.

    cricket 2023

    Just some rubbish bowling from the quicks. So many overpitched and full toss deliveries. Sam Curran's ODI career has nothing to suggest he should be your opening bowler regardless of conditions - number of full tosses he bowled took pitch conditions out of the equation anyway.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Should add Judaism to that list. That's a big issue particularly in the West Bank & Israeli expansionism there as well as with setting the current Israeli govt agenda on Gaza etc.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Agreed. From their military / security perspective they leave the hamas infrastructure and an armed force of between 30-40000 largely intact then they've achieved very little. From their political point of view if they don't largely complete their objectives then the extremists propping up the...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Anyone seen as a "viable" alternative by the West is either ostracized or in prison. There is no free political infrastructure for moderates or other parties to mount a challenge. Key roles including governorships are filled with Putin's own people. The "west" has still not learnt what they deem...

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Islam not being singled out in China. Other religions also being subjected to clampdowns. Churches also being destroyed etc. The extreme measures of reeducation camps seem to be limited to the Muslim ethnic groups but that also has geopolitical context rather than just religion. But money talks...

    F1 2023

    Pretty much the same. I think I've watched the same races plus the Hungarian - couldn't be bothered to go this year. For all the years of the various " dominations" this is by far the worst. Take out Red Bull and it could have been an amazing season with Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren and Aston...

    The official NFL Thread

    Was hoping Vikings would tank for the draft when Kirk got hurt - to find his replacement for the future. But Dobbs has been electric - not sure about his arm but his mobility has been an eye opener for Vikings fans used to a static Kirk. Plus Dobbs doing this without receivers 1&2 - JJ and now...

    Another game winning drive to beat Burrows and the Bengals.350+ yards. Get him a top receiver and watch out.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Who decides this? Is it imposed by outsiders? If it's imposed then highly likely neither side happy. Imposition of borders/controls are what has led to this mess. Seems little appetite for a 2 state solution on the Palestinian side. Who negotiates for the Palestinians - Hamas not likely to be...
