6 months ago no-one seriously thought he would invade Ukraine. He's deadly serious about NATO pulling out of former Eastern European states. Does this invasion of the Ukraine seem a rational act? Is it likely he invades a NATO state right now? Probably not. If these sanctions do seriously...

My late father in-law was involved in pouring barrels of oil on the steep roads in Buda to stop the tanks being able to go up and down. He was bombed by the Germans, Russians and Americans in WW2. October 23 remains a huge national holiday here and a very emotional one amongst those who...

Shock here but not surprise. Mistrust of Russia runs deep. Concern here seems to be any weakness from rest of the world will embolden Putin to continue to expand his territorial demands at later dates. Interviews published this week of recently retired Russian military commanders saying...

They are waiting to see how it pans out and that will affect their decision making on Taiwan.

For all his games with the EU and cosying up to Putin to wind up the EU Orbán is well aware of the sensitivity of Hungarians to Russian expansionism. 1956 is ingrained in the Hungarian consciousness as well as other memories of Soviet occupation. Bullet holes are deliberately left in a lot of...

Ramps it up a bit in your mind. Saw some massive convoys of troops, armoured vehicles on lorries, ambulances etc. go past me today on the way to the border.

Host of issues under the guise of Ukrainian NATO membership. Putin running unchecked in his country - nobody says no to him. Has played fast and loose with Russian democracy to keep himself in power for foreseeable future. Amassed a vast fortune for himself and his inner circle. Wants Russia...

Looks like Masi officially gone

I "hate" it when they keep wishing members of 1987 team happy birthday on the Facebook group - then I see they are in their mid 60s now!!!!

Close game finishes off an incredible post-season. Rams defensive class showed in the end. Refs inconsistent as usual (obvious face mask by Higgins on Ramsay for the TD). Needs some serious work before next season. Next season already looks exciting so many teams just need 1 or 2 pieces - Rams...

Don't get the Taylor hype. Been panned for last 2 seasons for making all sorts of mistakes particularly during games. Then with an elite QB he has a 10-7 record and he's apparently become another McVay wunderkind.

Head says Rams defense won't give Burrow the chances Chiefs did. Ramsey going to sit on Chase. Rams don't make the handling mistakes they made against Buccs. Bengals O line isn't good, pass rush heavily dependent on Hendrickson. But momentum is powerful. Bengals really aren't that good a team...

Has to go. has completely messed up the structure of English cricket. Need someone strong who can sort out the counties and bite the bullet on this Hundred fiasco.

Strauss wielding a big axe. Jimmy and Broad among the casualties. So relying on a load of quick bowlers - more than a few of those are injury prone. Batting doesn't seem much better. Going to play on some difficult wickets.

Dolphins making positive hires. Still this general trend to offensive coaches. McDaniel an interesting choice.

Didn't Ricky Gervais upset some people with his joke about an imaginary conversation between Hitler & Nietzsche about the Holocaust? I'll admit I laughed at that one despite the subject matter because of its absurdity

None of the final options were that great

Glad Silverwood gone. Need someone into shake these players up. Wonder if Morgan fancies a management role for the red ball team??

bowled well last night against players used to spin

Enjoyed the U19 game. Thought they had blown it. Maybe most impressive thing was the captain giving the leggy the 2nd to last over when it looked like the game could be getting away again. Took some guts and it paid off big time. Downside even at this level struggle against spin.
