Exactly, that'd be my expectation too.

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.
Looks like a bloke who collects guns, and whose fate results ultimately in getting blind drunk and accidentally blowing off his own foot with a loaded shotgun at 3 AM.
Or maybe Putin would just think they have shot down or captured a curious amount of mutes lately?
Feels like Germany emancipated itself all in the span of about 24hrs
At the same price as a new plane no doubt
They went from "should we halt Nord Stream certfication?" to "we're fecking investing 100 billion on the military".
Yep, telling them to avoid Poland due to the back up getting into there.
I'm starting to think the western world saw a chance to get rid of Putin once and for all, when the invasion stalled so quickly. Now they are doing everything they can to end his reign.
I see a lot of parallels here with the Cuban missile crisis. The US couldn't condone Russian missiles on Cuban soil in the same way Russia is not going tolerate NATO missiles in Ukraine. So this was a preemptive strike to quell the risk before it got out of hand.
This video helped me to at least understand Putin's perspective.

Good point. Because Ukraine only has Russian manufactured jets and none of the EU countries do.
Germany inherited a number of Mig 29 jets from East Germany. But these were retired some time ago and were not seen as particularly good.
I have to say that I am a bit sceptical about this announcement.
Let's hope so!
Nothing more dangerous than a cornered beast
Same vibe here. A golden and morally justified opportunity to probably eliminate Russia as a geopolitical rival for the foreseeable future.
Sounds reasonable. Maybe also a case of pilots being capable of flying most planes, but really excelling with their own models.
Russia, the next WC champions by default.

I belive Slovakia still has som mig-29s
If anything good comes of this I hope it’s the move to renewable energy. I know here in Ireland we have enormous potential with offshore wind farms but they keep getting refused because of being an eyesore but it’s time we powered through that nonsense and just start doing it
Ukraine were a long way from joining NATO. The Cuban missile crisis occurred during the Cold War when America was under threat and missiles were about to be stored in a country with a dictator. The situation here is different. The only point of view from Putin was that he didn’t like things going his way.
If we're learned anything about the past week, its that Putin's previous chest thumping about NATO was nonsense. He has wanted to invade and annex Ukraine all along to advance his neo-imperialist agenda, and NATO expansion was the perfect excuse for him to build a propaganda narrative around to justify that goal.
Aren't they providing them for free or did I misunderstood.
Maybe Jake Paul can call Putin out on YouTube
The tweet said on EU funding, so yeah
So you know what kind of information circulates on the other side, the Russian defense minister made a statement saying the Ukraine started to use white phosphorus bombs. It's very hard to navigate in this propaganda ocean.
His perspective? I'm still struggling to understand why he says Ukraine is run by Nazis and why he's threatening to end life on earth. Do you have a vid on that?
They have a couple of tanks in midfield, but a non existent attack and a defence that can be got at.
Thanks Vlad.
It's likely bullshit, but as we know, Russia uses bullshit as excuse or pretext for escalation. False flags and lies are part of their playbook.
I just hope Putin doesn't use it as a pretext to deploy a tactical nuke in Ukraine, or things are going to get really ugly.
Good video. It's very hard for us Europeans to understand what the hell is going through Putin's mind, but this has been brewing since the fall of the Soviet Union. The West literally promised Russia not to move an inch to the East, yet since then Czech Rep, Poland and the Baltics among others has been included in NATO. And NATO's flirt with Ukraine, pretty much on their doorstep, is probably what made Putin tip over. I've read that several Western high-ranking military officials warned about including Ukraine in NATO as they couldn't guarantee to completely secure the Eastern front border, yet the political side of NATO pretty much ignored those warnings and continued the flirt.
What Krushchev of Russia was actually not happy about was the basing of US ballistic nuclear missiles in Turkey. And had a willing partner in Castro of Cuba, a communist country.
While JFK is credited with forcing Russia to withdraw their ballistic missiles from Cuba hy naval blockade, in actual fact, the US agreed to withdraw their ballistic missiles from Turkey as well.
Have a little search on Stephan Bandera, that's a huge part of the Nazification of Ukraine, or at least it's supposed Nazification, according to Putin.
What the feck is that?
Slovakia and Poland have MiG-29s.
I stand corrected. Thank you for that.
For Ukraine but not for the countries providing them, those countries will have to replace them. Even the ones that are not in service have a purpose, like spare pieces which will have to be replaced by manufacturers.
Possibly a refinery or an munitions shelter going up.
I don't think it's what you're worried it is
