Of course he's not going to wave the white flag, but it wouldn't further encourage him. Doing the pathetic sanctions we have will have him getting his TimeOut book of Ukraine out looking for nice places to visit and wondering where he should visit next. It's incredible you keep asking what...

With Putin it seems like for him the only means to deescalation is complete capitulation. Anything else, even so much as wagging a finger at him, he will use as the West escalating things while he drives his tanks and soldiers into another country on the excuse it's just him protecting himself...

Sheaf given a rest. Fitness of O'Hare must be incredible to still be going. Jones still out too. Waghorn on bench so no Tavares today unless he takes off Gyok for a rest. Hopefully Bidwell will be solid defensively but think Gyok will be picking up scraps. 1-0 to them

At least it's not wasps.

Well they do like making cuts.

Putin thinks the USSR should still be a thing. Ukraine disagrees.

Well, first things first get the ex-KGB peer to publicly denounce it or lose his peerage. Sanctions on every single Russian billionnaire unless they publicly denounce the actions, not just 3. Freeze all UK assets over £1m of any Russian national unless they do the same. Prevent any Russian based...

Surely now the west has to realise they have to use their own natural, renewable resources for their energy needs.

So, the only way for Putin to back down is for Ukraine to completely demilitarise, thus leaving it totally open to Russia task forces (sorry, 'rebels') or invasion by the troops he's already sent into their country. It's completely barmy. Meanwhile, Liz Truss says we're 'prepared to go much...

I agree it's about what they ACTUALLY do in the end. A lot of 'could's' in that statement

I agree with your point about MAD, but it's looking forward to the endgame. if we don't do something to stop him now, he'll just get more and more emboldened and push further and further until we do. We've already mentioned that the west has a much better army than Russia, so he can't win that...

You're probably right. That was the U.S. plan for WWII. Kept out of it for ages, then swept in at the end to look like heroes and because they had tons of money from getting involved later on it loaned it to others to rebuild, thus giving them huge leverage over everyone else and end up pretty...

Maybe Crimea has just emboldened him to go full out. We all know he wants to get the band back together.

Did they declare themselves Russian, or independent? Not that it matters as they'll let Putin in, like Belarus does. As for China, it's a way off, but if it became a massive fight do you think China would side with Russia or the West? Ideologically they're closer aligned to Russia, but the...

Can't be current players.

But we all know the working man is lazy and you can't give them help or they'll bleed you dry. Tough love, that's what's needed! People perform at their best when they're desperate. Just last week Steven Barclay, the new Head of Staff, said Or, in layman's terms, cutting back services to let...

Of course he doesn't! He probably runs the place like Stalin and anyone who dares question him won't be around very long. Considering the stuff he's tried to do abroad (Salisbury for example) imagine what the fuck he does in his own country with huge frozen wastes to 'lose' people in. Biggest...

Truly fucking terrifying, yet I bet the Russian people lap it up because of the state control of the media and information. He's basically said Ukraine has bullied Russia (?!) and is being used as a base for a U.S. invasion of Russia! The man should be lobotomised!

Even Johnson himself said just yesterday we shouldn't throw caution to the wind on Covid. So what is ending all restrictions, especially the need to isolate after a positive test, if not throwing caution to the wind? It's got nothing to do with the science and everything to do with keeping the...

It's crazy. He says that an independent nation shouldn't be allowed to join an international body if it so chooses, then decides parts of same said country can do what they like. The fact he said Ukraine wasn't a real state is chilling and pretty much sets up his next move. He is very close...
