Shes been resident in the USA since 1994 so she would have just taken US citizenship I think...

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.
You can't have dual citizenship if you go US so would lose Russian
She would do that if at the height of her career I think
Also I think she can have 2 citizenships under both us and russian law
https://www.vorotagoroda.com/en/rus...ion allows a dual,it was obtained before 2015.
You can have dual citizenship with the US but you have to declare it your primary residence and pay taxes on earnings made outside the US.
You only pay US taxes on earnings over ~108k
The Russians have given up on the idea of trying to storm the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol and will now try to surround it so that no Ukrainian fighters can escape. At the same time they claim to have to taken the city and will hold a "victory" parade there on May 9th.
Several things strike me as problematic for the Russians here:
1) Sealing off an 8 mile perimeter around the steel plant (which is 4 square miles in size), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, is going to tie up a lot of troops.
2) The Ukrainians defenders (more than 2,000 apparently) could strike at the perimeter at almost any point, at any time of their choosing. I would think it'd be impossible to make an 8 mile perimeter strong enough at every point to potentially repel an attack by, say, 1,000 soldiers.
3) It's a hollow claim to say you have taken a city when 2,000+ enemy soldiers remain active inside it.
4) A "victory" parade through a city that's been reduced to rubble does not sound like good optics to me.
5) How many troops will they need to guard their "victory" parade lest it come under attack? I'd suggest to the Russians that they don't broadcast it live on Russian TV.

And due to sanctions he can't go there at the moment. He needs the Russian army to occupy Europe to be able to access his property again

I somehow can't see him ever traveling anywhere in Europe again.
The BBC reports:
"In his update at the White House, US President Joe Biden also says the US is banning Russian-affiliated ships from its ports, in a move to "ratchet up the pressure on Putin".
"No ship that sails under the Russian flag, or that is owned or operated by Russian interests, will be able to dock in a US port or access our shores. None, none," he says."

More pics in the thread.
More equipment.
I think if they publically denounce the war they should play. They won’t but at least we should give them that option rather than just say you are Russian and therefore evil. We should make it clear this isn’t about being Russian it is about Putin and give all players a choice.
It seems that Ukraine is fighting against the time here with these trainings/weapon deliveries into the battlefield.
They had 2 months for that, seemingly, no one did.
Just a little evidence that China will back Russia when it comes down to it. It's about authoritarian regimes working together to resist western pressure to be ethical.
Athletes have short careers, they’ve already missed yearly tournaments due to covid and Medvedev, in particular, actually has a good chance to win Wimbledon. I get they haven’t so far but they’ve not needed to, now there’s an actual tournament on the line it might prompt them to speak out.

He's an Italian cyclist wearing an Assos jacket. If that doesn't make him an expert, I don't know what else to say
(So many bots on Twitter, it's not even funny).
Unlike the selfless Greeks ;-)
Did Wimbledon adopt the same policy same towards American players when Dubya illegally invaded Iraq? Did they feck?
You know which thread I’m going to suggest to head over to don’t you?
Considering the UK’s 7th Armoured Brigade, 16 Air Assault Brigade, and 3 Commando Brigade also invaded Iraq that year…
If only there were a dedicated thread to discuss such topics.
Mariupol will still be falling in a month’s time at this rate. We still have at least one poster every day telling us that it looks like the end is near:
Putin sits like he's holding in a huge shit.
Come on Raoul, we're discussing the absurdity of sanctions on a bunch of Russian/Belarussian tennis players as a result of Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
I thought the goal of sanctions is to make Putin's war more difficult to wage, and don't see how banning tennis players who don't even compete under the Russian flag accomplishes that.
Tsar Bomba?
It's terrible, in war it's always the poor and the innocent in both sides that suffer the most.
During which you apparently opted to bring up the Iraq war and Dubya.
