Ukraine would continue to fight. The South East takes away its ports and that's disasterous for a country heavily dependent on agricultural exports. Russia would find it difficult to hold the territory as it's such a comparatively narrow strip of land.

Whole thing shocking. Latest one reported here (some videoed) is that Russians are taking kids hostage to stop them being attacked as they retreat. Kids being made to sit on top of tanks, bonnets of lorries etc to stop them being attacked.

Seems a strange one as would have had to fly over largely Russian held territory and Ukraine haven't been able to use air capabilities much due to Russian anti-air capacity

Role of the media in war always different. Russia and Ukraine aren't going to be broadcasting anything that shows them in a negative situation - for political and morale reasons.

I suppose it depends where those forces are headed now. Disputed territories, Mariopul, south coast area?

Rather they picked Morgan as a bridge captain to sort things out. Actually has a better Test record than Vince. Proven man manager and will toughen some of the lightweights up.

The Lions & Dan Campbell this year's Hard Knocks - could be fun watching them practicising biting ankles etc.

Root needs to sit down with Morgan for some lessons on player management. But the cupboard looks bare for Root replacements. But it does come down a lot to the resources Root has available in terms of players. I'm a Woakes fan but he's never your opening bowler onan overseas tour. Batting...

No it's these new cars. Can follow closer and less need to take the risks they were taking previous seasons. Not jumping from deep. Plus Red Bull has the straight line speed advantage this season so less need to take risks. We'll see how drivers deal with Red Bull straight speed when season...

When Haas and Alpine are ahead of Mercedes thinking then you're in trouble. Also Mercedes have lost a lot of management/production/design people to other teams over last 18 months maybe that's what's hurting them ( and helping others).

Never really understand how cars can be that "bad" when they've spent so much time and money in designing them. can understand issues that arise from extended use (eg during a race likeRed Bull's last week) due to the limited testing times etc but flaws as obvious as Mercedes just seem to be a...

It's the wage rises in other key postions that are jeopardising things as well. The money for pass rushers (28-30m) , tackles (20m) and cornerbacks (20m) was moving at a quicker rate than for QBs. Teams now paying guards 15+ m a season. Also why nobody pays running backs any more - can always...

It's the "dream". Build a roster then find that rookie QB contract. Browns thought they had done it with Baker. Now paying a fortune for Watson and that roster will fall away over next 2 years. Jaguars, Dolphins and Jets now throwing bug money at roster based on rookie QB contracts. But teams...

no problem. I'll stand behind you :D Hard to believe it's so close when it's such a beautiful day here today.

embarrassing.

16-50 year olds here put on notice they'll be called up if Russia decides to "wander" across the border.

RIP Baz

Looking back and analysing decision-making is always different from the decision-making at the time. Issues at the time were Japanese were still fighting hard and an invasion of mainland Japan would have been extremely difficult in terms of loss of life. Relationship with Russia had already...

Escalation can take many forms particularly in the type of weapons used and general rules of engagement.

Fear for a real escalation now they've refused to surrender the city. Cynic in me wonders whether Ukranian leadership is "hoping" an escalation in civilian atrocities in Mariupol may push West/Allies into some sort of action.
