Russia would be better off trying to save its economy rather than waste scarce money paying propagandists to issue threats to the whole world.

Here's Joe Blogs with 'Russian Ruble collapse accelerates'.

Despite the best efforts of the Russian central bank, the ruble is now worth less than one cent.

You might be right. I remember a dreadful 0-0 draw with Tunisia years ago. Our wingers, Chris Waddle and John Barnes were rubbish. Then someone pointed out that the Tunisians had made the pitch narrower than usual.

Roy Keane is right. We are at our best when we make fast runs off the ball. The tippy-tappy stuff is for Barcelona. When we do it, it doesn't work.

Nah. Project fear. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Good goal that...

There's no other football on tonight, so this will have to do. Pickford's got a good singing voice by the way.

Good article. Those last seven paragraphs are quite sobering.

As the pressure increases they're doubling down. They're reiterating their justifications for the initial invasion, and now extending the accusations of nazism to other countries. Expect more threats, more sabre-rattling, more scapegoating for Russia's internal economic and social problems...

Let's take a closer look at part of Anton Gerashchenko's tweet again. (thanks to @ raymondo in post 17705). 'The European Union is preparing a new sanctions package that would target Russia’s “shadow fleet”. The European Parliament will vote on a resolution that would hinder the ability of...

Talking of Kazakhstan, I was reading (and yes, would you believe it, I can't remember where...), there are great swathes of southern Russia which used to belong to Kazakhstan. Astrakhan is one of them. The vultures are circling. Let's hope they shortly have a darn good feed and can barely move...

They might. I'm not familiar with Russian negotiating tactics. Putin has been consistently insane throughout the entire war. There has never been any indication of compromise or flexibility. However, by using Solovyev to give the message to the Russian people, if he subsequently agrees to just...

Trump discovers that ending this war and stopping the killing, is not a five minute (or a 24 hour) job. Even if he were to make an overly-generous offer to Putin of a chunk of Ukraine, Putin doesn't just want a chunk. He wants it all, and all of it within Russia. Even in the face of an...

That's an interesting one. I would interpret that as reality leading the way for the newspapers, in that the press must in part reflect the unavoidable bits of the real world, and report the same things that readers experience in their day-to-day lives, otherwise people will stop reading them...

I fear we will never find out. They blanked me when I asked what the buttons were for. Can you believe that? No sense of public accountability whatsoever. They forget that the public pay their wages.

Unfortunately he didn't respond to my freedom of information request for answers to those questions. But at a guess, they were nothing to do with nukes. My guess is one of them would be to call security in case his guest, not necessarily Shoigu, tried to keel heem.

I saw a clip of him talking to Shoigu at a small desk, and I'm pretty sure there were at least two buttons within his reach.

Zelenskyy is a smart operator. All he needs to do is make sure he doesn't reject anything before he knows that Putin has already rejected it. Or hack Russian state TV with more nudey pics of Melania. Job's a good'un (y)

I think that's an automatic rifle tattooed on his arm.
