It's the picks that are traded - not the players. Each team gets 1 pick per round. These picks can then used as capital to exchange for other picks or for players (instead of our transfer fees). eg Vikings traded their 12th & 46th picks to Lions for their 32nd, 34th & 66th picks. Then Vikings...

Jets had a great draft but with 3 1sts they should do :)

It's a strange draft. Flat quality from almost halfway down 1st to near of the 3rd. Easily argue there's 9 or 10 1st rounders who wouldn't normally be 1st round picks. Lot of teams going for perceived need over BPA. Patriots taking Strange who was consistently graded as a 3rd rounder!! Arguably...

Kinda of liked your picks. Not flashy but 3 high ceiling picks. Dotson is a big assist for Wentz and Maclaurin. Mathis a beast who really stepped up last year - along term replacement for Payne if his contract becomes an issue. Robinson a good RB and if he improves his catching could be really good.

Vikings can't help themselves trading for the sake of trading despite new GM. Trading within division just naive though.

the "bigger" military powers all provide military advisors/training across the globe.

Going to be an interesting draft. Not so many elite players, plenty of decent ones. as is becoming the norm some deep positional classes, some shallow ones - strange how these vary from year to year.

Moving anything between Hungary and Ukraine by rail is slow as different gauge railways. We had long delays moving agricultural crops and inputs between the 2 countries by rail. That said still a lot of pro-Russian anti-ukrainian feeling amongst some Hungarian political groups. More noticeable...

Russian forces primarily in East and Southeast - long way from polish border. Attacks near Polish border are either by long range missiles or aircraft. Potential for strikes from Belarus territory also. Russians don't have capacity atm to send ground forces to deal with Polish border area.

Parliamentary elections in summer could "force" him to reflect

got to agree. DRS delay was a factor plus running so long on intermediates for rain that never came. Even though cars can follow so much closer DRS trains still hinder overtaking on so many circuits probably lowest overtaking race of the season? Plus highlights for all the talk of a more...

If Joshua can beat Usyk!! Just think it's about how big a cheque they flash in front of him. He's still talking about fighting Ngannou in a hybrid match for big money so cheque is big enough he'll fight Usyk or Joshua.

Whyte got overhyped to promote the fight. Class gulf between the 2 has always been huge. If Wilder and Klitschko couldn't put Fury away Whyte wasn't going to. Whyte not a bad fighter just nowhere near Fury. Usyk probably the only boxer out there that can match Fury's skills but then it would...

Adds a few quid when he comes out of "retirement" to fight winner of usyk Vs Joshua :) . Not convinced he'll be satisfied as having that Whyte fight as his finale.

Not just that. Cut off Ukraine from its ports and they strangle the economy. Massively reliant on their ports for agricultural exports in particular.

Mali wanted a more aggressive approach from French army and troops with a ruthless streak. So shifted the French and replaced them with the Wagner group.

Don't get it. What qualifies him for the job? Hasn't he just been doing tv work since he retired? Giles wasn't good but at least he had some coaching and managerial work on his CV

Happens all the time from many countries in many conflicts under the guise of military advisers. Russians recently were heavily involved in Syria and now in Mali. Lot of "adviser" involvement from various countries in the respective "wars on drugs and terror". Find a conflict and some country...

It's not the communist part behind the renaissance. It was the authoritarian leadership and the fact the Russia was "respected and feared" under Stalin according to Putin and like-minded Russians. One of Putin's recurring themes is that Russia has to be respected and not demonized by the...

"But it may not turn out how the Russians think. The momentum is with the Ukrainians. I think they’ll kick the Russians out. But they’ll lose 100k civilians doing it." Hope he's wrong on this - civilian deaths somewhere between 1600 (UN figures) and 7500 (ukrainian govt figures). There's got...
