    Draw a decent result after start of day one but it's not a particularly strong opponent and pitch played it's part.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Not sure it's that big a thing. Assume any transport inside Ukraine is being done by Ukrainians. Not going to attack transports inside NATO countries.Would imagine the hand over weapons is happening outside Ukrainian borders.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Biden possibly playing to domestic elements rather than Russia with these statements?? Ideally he'd be making statements about options being kept open if certain lines are crossed - doesn't need to be confrontational. His statements atm do almost green light Putin to use whatever tactics or...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Again it's the numbers. 10000 out if population of 40+ million. Did nothing at the ballot box. Neo Nazi pro-Russian militias also been in Donbas and Crimea with Russian support since 2014. Recruiting from across Europe. Russia has these idiots, USA has these idiots, lots of Europe has these...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Don't think Putin does irony. His message of NATO pulling back their area of influence and demanding that they have to withdraw NATO weapons etc from post-1997 NATO countries yet he intends to put a load of his new weapons into Belarus that borders NATO states. He's actually advancing towards...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Don't think he cares what the so-called "liberal democracies" think of him as long as they "fear" him. he's got like minded allies in the likes of China, Belarus and certain middle East & Asian states. His approach to dissent is just to throttle it - much like those who ally themselves with...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Hungary gets a special price but are committed to reducing Russian gas - by letting the Russians build them a new nuclear power reactor for 15 billion and 10 billion of that is a Russian state loan !!!

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Got friends in UK who have raised over 50k plus vans loads of goods. Supposed to have left in a convoy last weekend but have had to repack everything into boxes by country of origin to get through customs. Going to be double the work when they get to Poland sorting it back into what supplies...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    We've had a story in the press here (last week??) that's there's been a crackdown in Russia as a lot of the money supposed to be spent on weapons,logistics etc has disappeared. The military resources have not matched what they were supposed to be on paper. Officials bank accounts & assets being...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Line in the sand was supposed to be crossing into NATO. Abhorrent as chemical etc weapons are they any worse than civilian bombing deaths? The manner of death is different but the end result is the same. Are chemical weapons any less indiscriminate than bombing civilian areas? Not sure I've put...

    Mercedes upsetting people with their new design. Brawn was saying last couple of years needed the new regulations and cap to make teams think outside the box. If all the cars look the same then maybe teams aren't trying hard enough or the movement of personnel between teams is making them copy...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Same here. People are posting on all sorts of social media trying to find places for these people to stay as hardly any Govt help in that area. Sad truth is we don't have the infrastructure to cope here. So far numerically it's the equivalent of about 1.4m people turning up in the UK over a...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Can't help feeling they don't want to set themselves some kind of precedent for the next inevitable global confict/crisis that isn't based in Europe?

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    That was 2013/14? Attacks happened up until at least 2018 and the Russians vetoed several proposed UN investigations into who was responsible and where the "weapons" came from since then.

    Still think Winston could be good . Showed signs of improvement at Saints before injury plus that Buccs scheme was so hit and miss before they bolstered the o line for Brady.

    Drive him there myself :) Seriously 2 3rds for a player Colts may even have cut!! Colts probably going to turn those 2 3rds into Jimmy G. Then spend another year telling everyone they have a Superbowl roster but for a QB - having spent a fortune in free agency and ending up with another 9 win...
