Okay, how so?

NATO labelled a puppet state but this was disputed, I believe. I guess the only thing you could call it was a Soviet-occupied member of the Eastern Bloc?

I've already laid my evidence out and my statement quoted remains based on the available evidence, Russia has attacked and occupied three former Soviet states. The USSR was a composite of separate territories over many years. They don't have to attempt to attack all of them to prove Putin wants...

Never said he did want East Berlin back, but I reckon he would if he could. Why do I say this? Because Russia has meddled with multiple former Soviet states, just ask Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Nah, I am sure he just wants Ukraine and that's it...

You have a quite juvenile debating style, which is not conducive to a good discussion, so I might be wasting my time. However, I'll give you another chance. Do you know what evidence is? The evidence is; Russia agreed to uphold the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Russia illegally annexed...

What sort of logic do you use, my man? I ask the same thing of North Korea, why do they need to claim to be something apparently the people don't believe in or want? You say Russian people don't want democracy, how do you know this? how have they come to that conclusion if they have never had...

Sorry, it is. Based on the available facts, the only conclusion that can be drawn from Putin invading Ukraine, in defiance of a UN treaty, of a nation that once was part of the USSR, is that he wants to reclaim Ukraine or parts of it into the territorial regions of Russia.

Interesting... why do they constituently claim to be a democracy then?

Yeah, the fact that Putin invaded a sovereign nation in defiance of a UN Treaty explicitly stating they wouldn't. https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume%203007/Part/volume-3007-I-52241.pdf

Not really brought anything new to the conversation, as that is pretty much what I just said... cult of personality has been created, simple as that.

Except when Russia renounced all claims to Crimea, and Russia agreed with Ukraine and signed the Budapest memorandum agreeing to uphold its territorial integrity. Patent rubbish that Putin doesn't want a return to the the good old USSR days. You can ignore all evidence to the contrary if you...

Maybe the clientele of Binley Mega Chppy should go head-to-head with the clientele of the Wheatsheaf, winner is crowned the "undue publicity champions of the world"?

They'll pop to the Wheatsheaf pre-match? Hot place to be right now with the publicity, no doubt!

Receives praise one day for his national service policy from a certain cohort of people, and next minute leaves the D-Day anniversary and upset the same people who praised him. Starmer: Oh Sunak, can't you go five seconds without embarrassing yourself? (pisses people off by leaving D-Day...

I completely botched the grammar and syntax in that last message, but hopefully you can at least smell what the rock was cooking!

I say it should be an unwritten rule that if you sell your ST for a game, you should only sell it at the price of the ticket pro-rated for one game against the overall price of the ST. If you sell it a price above the price of one game for the ST and that below the value of the price of the...

It's a Simpsons quote, to be honest ("I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognise "Missoura") A staggeringly large percentage of my contributions on this site are Simpsons quotes or Simpsons quote-inspired.

I am still trying to figure out what their legal case is, would love to hear from someone who a) has a lot more understanding of what they are claiming than what I am about to say and b) actually slept last night. So, in my mind, this interlinks with several different aspects of rules and regs...

He's back to his usual pessimistic-self. Somehow, it almost makes the world feel right again!
