    Odds on Raj-Sakyi happening as well? There’s noise on social media linking him to us again.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Did it? What examples would say demonstrates this. Most major interventions post-WW2 would have denounced by the other side. Not much has changed post-Cold War either. No, they just prop dictatorships across the world.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No, I haven’t at all. The post was there to demonstrate that this construct was always a sham. During the Cold War, the official policy was ‘peace through strength’ and both main adversaries were too strong for a war to be worthwhile. The same is true today and one of the main reasons Russia...

    Russia conducted its operations between both Trump administrations… Trump has nothing to do with the likes of Russia and China aggressively undermining the international law and the ‘rule based order’. Even during the Obama administration, the US was criticised for drone strike operations and...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    They already do what they want… As if you say that unironically whilst there’s a war in Ukraine. China ripped up the deal they had with the UK over Hong Kong and has backed several coups itself, typically after they take power see examples in Myanmar, Africa and even propping up Maduro in...

    That’s obviously the case, the point about it not being sovereign is that the Chinese are doing exactly what you accuse the US of trying to do. The number is small today, that’s correct. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and one of the reasons they’re not exporting as much as...

    Why are people panicking? There's not even been two working days in the month yet... Incomings will arrive and we're gonna have a right go at it. We signed Grimes for £4m last Jan when the season appeared to be a write-off...

    Perhaps sit and wait to see how this actually pans out rather than making sweeping statements to support a particular narrative? The US did say they will ensure a ‘judicious transfer’, but they said the opposition didn’t have the support to take over immediately. After all, the military/secret...

    How can he allow the Venezuelan opposition take control when the US is not even in control itself? You can’t hand something over that you don’t currently control…

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s not because you were talking as if Venezuelan oil was sovereign and it’s not. The Chinese were in the process of doing exactly what you accuse the US of trying to do. In this instance, which horse are backing? Benjamin Netanyahu is a legitimate leader of a sovereign country, whether you...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Iraq and Venezuela are two completely different societies. In any case, the Venezuelan people rejected Maduro at the ballot box twice, they were thwarted and had to watch the Chinese ‘pillage their natural resources’. To be honest, Maduro should’ve been ousted in Trump’s first presidency. At...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Of course you’d say that… The people of Venezuela v much disagree with you even if US foreign policy was You’re seemingly totally ignorant to the fact China was propping up the regime with ‘oil for loans’ deals and bringing its own companies to invest in Venezuelan oil infrastructure. Itself...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We will probably disagree on this point, China has been sabre rattling and posturing in and around Taiwan. The true target of the Venezuelan intervention is China. Outside of Russia and Central Asia, it’s China’s main provider of oil. Even so, the collapse of the Venezuelan regime would also...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Power politics will always be the default when push comes to shove, always has and always will be. Frankly, a Venezuelan government that’s pro-Beijing/Moscow is more likely to create the conditions for a conflict between the USA and China. You need oil to fight a war and China is the biggest...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Copy and paste for most major powers through history. Ironically, the whole ‘rule based international order’ was a US construction and backed up because it was the global hegemon. Now China and Russia flex their own muscles in the face of ‘international law’ the whole construct is dying if it...

    Is Norwich sold out?

    It’s probably the case that the block was being sold out and the club waiting to open a new one. I thought Ipswich was sold old way before it was and it was only before calling the ticket office that it became apparent there was loads left.

    Ref watch

    Apologies don’t get you any points. The amount of stonewall penalties that have been missed in a short space of time is not acceptable. Our lead at the top has been halved and frankly, it shouldn’t have been because these decisions have cost us about 5-7 points. That’s without bringing up the...
