I don’t see how the NATO alliance can enforce either a no fly zone or put forces on the ground as this would give Putin far to many targets to retaliate against. However I think the US is in a different position. It would take a president with the courage of JFK to do so but they could...

Listening to the news during the day there appears to be a number of voluntary groups sending military equipment such as bullet proof vests, helmets etc. Why is this necessary? Surely the EU and UK should be satisfying any needs in this area. Likewise regarding refugee aid - if anything...

Unfortunately I doubt it will ever happen. Was listening to Radio 4 this evening and some “expert”, (didn’t catch his name), gave a pretty good explanation why not. The EU, UK and other countries may well not buy oil and gas from Russia, (sanctions), but they will need to buy them from...

You may well be right but my donation to an arms fund is totally insignificant compared to the billions in arms already being offered by governments. However even small amounts can make a very real difference to those who have fled from the fighting and are crossing the border out of Ukraine...

The simple unwelcome and sad truth is that there is not the almost universal support for one side or another in those conflicts that there is for Ukraine in their fight - that however doesn’t stop any individual from taking whatever action that they consider appropriate, demonstrative or...

No - I haven’t donated funds for arms - Red Cross :thumbsup: Lots of actions may be more effective than any action the club may take - by that logic however only the single most effective action would be ever taken. Every little thing that individuals, clubs and organisation can take all add...

Where’s the option for a rich cognac and orange sauce a la Crêpes Suzette?

I was - precisely the point of this thread, to show our disappointment.

Nothing wrong with making “people feel better”. Bozza has changed the banner at the top of this forum - why? I presume that it is because he wants to show his support for the Ukrainian people, (I’m sure he’ll soon correct me if I’m wrong). It also implicitly shows that other members of the...

There are a number of things they could do. Wembley, for example, lit the arch in yellow and blue, subtle but poignant. The digital hoarding around the pitch could have occasionally shown the Ukrainian flag for instance. It’s simply a matter of showing that the people of Ukraine are in our...

Did we ask? As I said I don’t know as much about the Falklands as I should.

Did we call on NATO for assistance? Not sure?

The Guardian spoke to the UK resident Nataliya Rumyantseva, the daughter of 69-year-old Valentyna Klymova who escaped from Kharkiv where fighting is under way and who has been denied entry to the UK...

They would be being attacked - “an attack on one is the same as an attack on all”

As I said a potentially dangerous scenario.

On the face of it an excellent development but a very dangerous one. Turkey are a member of NATO. What happens if Turkey tries to enforce the blockade on a Russian warship which then fires on Turkish forces?

Never understand this sort of attitude. Do you only read/listen to those with the same opinion as yourself? All that does is reinforce any prejudices you may have. I’m no believer in censorship even if a lot of what is being said is a lie or propaganda. Often listening to channels such as...

This - anyone heard a reason why Belarus hasn’t been targeted with sanctions?

I had no idea what we imported from Russia and decide to take a look - quite enlightening - no more barbecues :ohmy:

Is it wrong now to not be an LH supporter? A big part of being a fan of any sport is the ability to support “your man/team” and be able to hurl abuse at the opposition. I’ve decided this season “my man” will be George Russell - he’ll show that LH has only won races because of the car :clap:
