The amount of movies that will come out of this will be ridiculous.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Zelenskyy is an absolute modern hero, and goes to show that perhaps the best leaders arent the millionaire career politicans, but the everyday people who want the best for their countries, not just themselves.
Maybe in 20-30 years, we will see the movies a lot for sure.
The number of nuclear weapons
Said so from the beginning - Merkel would have made a huge difference in this conflict, I'm sure.
I'm happy they finally seem to have a decent leader, as they don't exactly have the best track history.
Yes and yes for me, Putin has respected Merkel a lot for several years. They've respected each other and they are in the same age( 2 years difference).
Even in the unlikely event that it did happen, some nations would secretly reform its military which would then lead to all nations re-militarising.
What is even the point of having 6,000+ nuclear warheads? They must be expensive to make and you could basically destroy anyone with 50.The number of nuclear weapons
The number of nuclear weapons
Is that from an American source?
There’s something very weird going on with the Russian army. It’s almost as if there’s been communication between a lot of them just to give in.
Exactly, they kind of had some weird mutual respect, although Putin tried to intimidate her, she had influence on him. They also share some common history, as they worked for quite some time in eastern Germany.
You can argue that Merkel is at fault for German dependency on Russian gas...
He's really stepped up when he was needed, the sign of a true leader.

Of course, the "hosted" are all Americans, and under US control. It just helps the US detonate it quicker if they need to.
BBC News have a South Asian editor sharing baseless conspiracies that Ukrainians are treating Indians attempting to cross borders poorly due to their UN vote. C’mon.
I was just wondering, because they got the Dutch flag wrong.
Yes, I really searched from this source. It's reliable source ( although they got French flag instead of Dutch flag).
Haha. Yes. They got the french flag there.
It was a huge relief that our government unequivocally and immediately sided with the EU position on this. I was really worried that Orbán and co. would end up on the wrong side of such a conflict but this shows they have no intention of turning away from the EU any time soon.
You could definitely argue that, but considering our actual energy structure, it isn't really true, honestly. Only 8% (3rd quarter of 2021) of our energy comes from gas. It's the future plans that are a little worrying, but we are flexible enough to change. Obviously around 10% is quite a bit for a country of our size, but it's not like some make it out to be.
It is not as if the border staff have their feet up. Any processing of one person will mean the processing of others can’t happen. The capacity of the border staff is finite and there are ever more Ukrainians and EU citizens arriving at the borders too. My experience is that Shehyni-Medyka can process about four-six people on foot at once at both the Ukrainian border and Polish border heading into Poland. I imagine they have all the border staff they can there working.
Again, every sympathy with people trying to flee this now, but I have zero surprise that those that chose to stay, and are only attempting to leave now, will be having serious problems leaving. I would completely expect EU citizens and Ukrainian citizens to be given priority over me if I arrived at the border now.
People on the Ukrainian-Polish border are relatively safe though, even if in poor comfort. If they were in any immediate danger, I imagine policy would immediately change and the floodgates would open.
I don't think being ghosted is the goal on tinder.
What the actual feck did I just read.
Brilliant
That was a group effort of both big parties, after all they shared power for most of the last decade and it was Schröder who sold out to Nordstream/Putin in the first place.
Whether it is for UN vote or not, something like this is definitely happening. Seen a lot of report in Indian news sites. It mainly says that Poland has been extremely friendly and helpful for evacuation but the problem is from Ukraine side.
Eugenics, Russian version
Germany isn’t a nuclear power of its own. It holds some nuclear capability as part of a sharing agreement with the US, effectively meaning they hold some warheads in the country if needed but it goes through them first.
There’s obvious historic reasons for this but I don’t see the country becoming a full blown nuclear power of its own any time soon.
I really hope this is real.
As I have said previously, if you stick around until a country falls into war and you are a third-country national, don’t be surprised when officials from Ukraine and the EU prioritise their own citizens. There is a reason why Western countries told people to leave. It would be the same for UK citizens there.
I think the point is to be able to destroy all life on earth so that nobody thinks there is a plan B without you.
Horrible.
