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...

Racing is so much better this year just need more teams to bridge that gap to the current top 2. Despite all the changes to assist the midfield teams the gap to the top teams is still big. Don't care which teams it is just don't like seeing 20 second winning margins particularly when there are...

Damn. Only 24.

If the translation is accurate then this is a truly appalling statement about the intentions of the Russian leadership. Arguments about the levels of casualities needed to meet the definition of genocide are spurious when the intentions and methodology of the Russian leadership are laid out in...

Basically what Ukraine has done. Anyone over 16 issued with a weapon. Only real difference is more training probably needed for an offensive action. Reports here of Russia's own neo- nazi groups being rearmed and sent back to Donbas.

Going to be agents taking this to EU courts for sure. Also limiting transfer fees usually punishes clubs down the "food chain"

Getting so desperate. All sorts of "unsavoury" elements being brought in by both sides- Chechynians, Syrains, mercenaries, new neo-Nazi groups from Russia - none of whom are worried about the likes of the Geneva convention etc.

68 year old Darren Stevens to take 8 for not many! Good to see Brooks back for the Bears though.

Interesting perspective

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).
