This thread is pretty good and required reading for anyone tempted to blame NATO for this situation...

Maybe give that Twitter thread a read @Rascal so you can post from a position of education rather than ignorance when you get back from the pub tonight.

Piss poor that it's took FIFA 2 attempts to get it right.

I'm glad they're coming to the right decision though.

Infantino and company aren't fit for purpose.

That link is from 2017 so it’s definitely nothing to do with now.

The video he posted (which was swiftly removed) was to someone on Twitter sharing the video yesterday with the comment "currently in Maruipol." Plenty in the comments claimed it's a video from 2014.

But nukes have a bit of a PR problem. A country that uses nukes nowadays will forever be a pariah. America sort of got away with it because it was the first time and it was at the end of a huge war so they could spin it as saving lots of lives. Russia would never be able to spin it as necessary. Even in WW2, the firebombing of Tokyo was actually far more destructive and killed more people than the atomic bombs, but no-one gets criticised for that.

Because they won and don’t think there’s propaganda in their own country, same with all the German rapes by soviets forces, or Japanese PoW. Was only Hitler that was bad you see. People generally don’t do any research and believe what they’re told in the media.

Neutral Swiss join EU sanctions against Russia in break with past

Switzerland will adopt all the sanctions that the European Union has imposed on Russian people and companies and freeze their assets to punish the invasion of Ukraine, the government said in a sharp deviation from the country's traditional neutrality.

Pretty big message here, you can imagine alot of Russian wealth in Swiss banks.

Ukraine’s Ambassador to UN just said at Council meeting if Putin wants to kill himself, do what that guy did in a Berlin bunker in 1945, don’t use nuclear weapons.

Not holding back.

The fricasee prep is done. My only worry here is I had to buy dry tarragon. Not good.

Seriously folks, turn the news off. Do something. Put some music on and keep the spirits high. It is just so fucking depressing.
