Great thread. Bluemoon at its finest :)

Fuck knows. Given todays allegation, and their current behaviour towards players on their books, we should be telling them to do one.

Probably more symbolic than anything else, still, it all helps and it’s good to see…

State of this nonsense from Russia… ’Russia quits Snake island. - Russian mil telegram: trying to retain control of the island under Ukrainian fire from French Caesar shore artillery was a suicide mission - Russian MoD: withdrawal is a voluntary gesture of goodwill to allow grain exports’...

Good piece of business…

No, it isn’t. Neither is it our place to tell the Ukrainians not to either. The West can provide the weapons the Ukrainians ask for, the decision to use those weapons and fight is entirely down to them.

That he isn’t, proves that ‘cancel culture’ does not exist :)

To be fair, the Colosseum has seen better days. No one is rewriting history. Events happen and are recorded as happening. The Atlantic Slave Trade happened. It is a fact. What people object to is the uncovering of other facts with regard to the slave trade that make people uncomfortable and...

Biden is betting a further $33 billion on Ukraine. They are upgrading Ukraine military capabilities on a day by day basis and supplying real time intelligence on Russian troop movements and god knows what else. Ukraine is becoming a NATO ready country, Sweden and Finland are being treated as de...

I think the reasoning and mindset has changed after seeing the shambles of the first two months. The West genuinely thought Russia would win this conflict in a week or two, hence support was limited to strong words, sanctions and some weapons. Two months on and we are now at the stage of...

Things clearly going well. From Eurasia Group... ‘A senior EU source: “Putin has now taken day-to day-control of the conflict and delegated the running of Russia to the Prime Minister’

Neither overlooked, and certainly not unnoticed. The latter would be difficult, given the adverts I keep tripping over for Piers Morgan brand new TV show where he will be railing against the evils of ‘cancel culture’. There will be a lot of loud railing, I imagine.

Difficult, given the never ending noise from people loudly proclaiming they have been ‘silenced.’

No, other than as a vehicle for making money or an excuse for doing or saying something twattish. The loudest voices are from those complaining they are being cancelled, which kind of sums it up really.

Good summation and an excellent punchline.

There is cold war Ostpolitik and fall of the Soviet Union and reunification of Germany, Ostpolitik. It’s a tale of two halves.

Americans really stepping up with regard to weapons. They clearly think Ukraine can win this conflict. ‘President Biden's new $800 million military aid package to Ukraine: Pentagon readout • 72 155mm Howitzers and 144,000 artillery rounds; • 72 Tactical Vehicles to tow 155mm Howitzers; • Over...

Change in tone from Zelensky. First public indication that Ukraine is getting the weapons it needs, also bearing in mind what is said publicly is bound to lag behind the reality. ’Zelensky, tonight: "I am very pleased to say, with cautious optimism that our partners started to understand our...

Ever heard of NATO?

Germany is in mourning for the death of its two decade old Russian policy and struggling to come to terms with the fact it turned out to be a strategic mistake. Even worst, it turned out that the Eastern Europeans were right all along. Germany is always reluctant to change course - nimble...
