    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Or pictures of Putin having a bit of fun time with a donkey and the head of the Russian Orthodox Church...just to show the population they are regular guys.

    Mrs Raymondo is good at that stuff...some mackerel was pickled only last week, and a friend in the village makes the best sauerkraut by the bucket load 👍

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Blimey...now I'm very confused 🤷🏼‍♂️. Was this the only role he could appoint a Fox news rep to, to say thanks for your support?! And how does this sit with a hawkish Waltz as national security advisor? I think I'll go away for a couple of months allotment work and then check back on how...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Trump picks Waltz as his national security advisor. This is potentially very positive for Ukraine. Waltz has visited Ukraine before, and criticised the slow supply of weapons under Biden's government. He a retired Colonel and green beret. Now, maybe Trump has done this because he wants strong...

    As things happen, leak, I'm thinking it's less likely Putin has kompromat on Trump 🤷🏼‍♂️

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    A good piece from the Atlantic too, thank you. You know, the more I read and ponder in recent weeks, the more it seems that Zelenskiy's simple statement is correct: it's either NATO (or some other bullet proof protection) or nukes to save Ukraine. The only other option is to increase sanctions...

    If Crimea is ceded to Russia ( and I think it likely if it comes to negotiations, whatever the rights and wrongs) maritime enforcement would have to be in place to ensure safe passage and normal operation of Odessa port. A big yes to your final paragraph.

    They are very uneasy bedfellows.Both very transactional and narcissistic, I'm hoping it all ends in tears. They both hated each other in the past, and Trump still hates electric cars apparently. I wonder how his threats on Chinese tariffs would affect Tesla imports? Or if China then helps BYD...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Putin's single minded focus on controlling or destroying Ukraine could perversely be beneficial to it's survival. A bad peace would be terrible,as Russia re-arms and awaits it's chance to go again. The west could well relax (phew it's all over, now where were we, ah yes trade deals...). BUT if...

    Good, so long as the US can't veto their use 🤔

    Exactly, it's not going to be a fast process with Putin, unless one side capitulates.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Funnily enough, I was probably listening to that as you posted,! Was indeed worth it - very good. A couple of points stuck in my head,: 1. Be clear that to Putin, a negotiation means negotiating the complete surrender of Ukraine 2. He bashed on a lot that the US should have done more and...

    I, and I think many others on this thread, do certainly consider Joe Blogs, Times Radio, Business Basics, Paul Warburg, Silicon Curtain, Kyiv Independent, Geraschenko, War Translated and others (as can be seen from many quotes and posts)...as the 'mainstream media ' for timely in depth news on...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City *** Official Match Thread ***

    Has anyone seen a lip reading translation of Pep's monologue to JPVH as they left the pitch? Weird side of Pep, focusing on an oppo player... possibly takes his mind off the: unhappy Citeh fans? post match questions 🤔?. Any ideas, people? - "you bossed Haaland, I'll buy you in August - " he only...

    It's as good as Haaland (spelling?) screaming his head off after our first goal. He's so humble 😉.
