If you were flying over a capital city dropping bombs you’d have to be pretty naive not to think there’s a realistic chance you could be blowing up innocents. It’s a (relatively) indiscriminate way of fighting, there’s no way to be sure of what you’re hitting

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.
Pure scaremongering.
All to sell papers, Trump was suffering from dementia according to all and sundry and turned out to be bollocks.
Id rather he not be terminally ill as that gives him more of "fack this" mentality and go Nukey
Non that are reliable unfortunately.
Did it? He inadvertently admitted he undertook a dementia examination.
I've read the report in the daily star. He's got a puffy face and has been looking angry recently. Death is imminent.
I don't know. The Daily Star could have pulled off the scoop of the century.
This story has been floating around this evening on twitter.
What I saw, was it was someone's opinion from looking at him on TV and blaming his steroid usage for his ill health, so I wouldn't trust this.
They have form. I mean, they've already found out he's the reason Aliens won't make contact with Earth yet.
Well he will probably be on the Republican ticket so guessing he is far from ‘curtains’ can’t stand the fecker but sick of these clickbait headlines for clicks and likes.
I follow but try to avoid speaking in politics threads but remember seeing plenty of posts (here included) saying Trump is toast and feck all happens.
Pure scaremongering and playing on peoples fears
No amount of propaganda should override your basic human insight that bombing apartment buildings full of civilians is okay.
"Person man woman camera tv" really sold me on his mental health. Even if he doesn't have dementia, he has multiple mental illnesses that are plain to see.
Was it though?
Just because we don’t have proof it’s true doesn’t mean it isn’t ……
Mastercard also suspending usage in Russia
Game is up for Stupin, nowhere to run nowhere to hide.
For someone upheld as a sensible intelligence source, how idiotic is Rubio for posting images from the zoom call with the Ukraine president?
Ever listened to him speak? Our current & previous president had / had varying degrees of dementia.
Doesn’t mean it is true either.
Feck I hope Putin and Trump kick the bucket but to say Putin has cancer (which inadvertently means he doesn’t give a feck) is just scaremongering for profit.
Imagine an older person who has been locked up for a year or so due to covid and now has nuclear war to look forward to.
Scum of the earth just for money.

Nah, they are just old feckers. I’m early 40s and have to take a list for 5 things from Tesco’s
Apparently he was very friendly with Putin under Trump from some of the Twitter comments.
That’s a lot of vehicles!
Here’s a video the Russians have released to convince you that they are the goodies:
Well actually it’s not clear. Visa were much more specific in what they said as you noted. But Mastercard were not as clear, although no reason to suspect they’d be different. Visa and Mastercard are basically networks which facilitate messaging between the customers bank and card issuer, and the merchants bank and acquirer. If Mastercard are “suspending their network” in Russia, it means they could potentially mean they are processing NO transactions through their network at all. So it could mean Mr Average Joe Russki might not be able to use his card.
Does anyone reckon Edward Snowden is reassessing his life choices right about now?
That’s fecking terrifying and shameful. Like one of the World’s super-powers is run by a crazy paranoid husband… it’s just insane.
Yeah for sure. That needs to be SHUT DOWN. Sensible Americans seriously need to reclaim what it is to be patriotic from these Putin trolls.
Trump needs to be firmly cast as what he is - a Putin puppet and a danger to America and the free World.
Can win be a loss?
He certainly wasn’t expecting Russia to be his final destination. He tried France but was rejected.
The term “win” in this context is actually a bloody difficult thing to define.
Rod Dreher is such a toolbag. I'm sure he's just angling for another vacation to Russia like he got to Hungary. I've seen the map called out as BS by other people who know more.
1.5 million from a Russian oligarch to boot.
The first map is extremely inaccurate and totally misleading.
And yes the win will be a loss. Russia will probably occupy some important cities, but they will struggle to keep them and end up paying a huge price.
Most Ukraine wins to outsiders will still be a massive loss to them personally: cities destroyed, lives lost, lands likely still occupied…
Quintessential Pyrrhic victory pin the cards.
Karma is a thing after all... These guys showed 0 mercy in Syria, hope they get the same.
Yes but if you see it as you or them, what are you going to do? You can hardly just say no to your bosses and expect to avoid jail/death/whatever in the Russian military right now. They'd have to organise a co-ordinated strike/mutiny, very difficult to act alone. I'm not saying none of them are baddies btw, end of the day most people who join the military voluntarily like fighting, but I don't think they're on the same level of culpability as Putin, his government and the military top brass and secret service.
He was in China before that. Go figure why he didn't stay there.
`Assuming this is true of course. Reports of fuel shortages, with no actual evidence to back this up. So far the western military experts being paraded by the media have got nearly everything wrong. They make assertions with nothing to back those assertions up. Even dreaming up ridiculous stories about the Russians preparing a false flag attack. Using crisis actors as Russian casualties. This sort of nonsense would not look out of place on a QAnon website. What about the capture of Europes largest nuclear power station. These so called experts didn't see that one coming, did they. The trouble is that we in the west are being fed a totally one sided view by a media that is supposed to impartial. About as impartial as the state run TV in Russia. One thing is certain about these sanctions is that it will push the Russians into closer political and economic ties with China and is incredibly myopic.
