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.
Things are escalating rapidly on that front.
Does that mean redeployment of existing forces, or the deployment of the new conscripts, or both?
Yeah it's a bit ambiguous...
Not saying it will happen soon, but Kherson being liberated would surely be bigger than anything we’ve since the Russian retreat from Kyiv.
It was just banter
They seem almost paralysed at the moment. Unable to make any significant attacks, and unable to really defend what they’ve taken so far. And seemingly with orders from on high that bear no real relation with the facts on the ground:
Musk is the biggest WUM on twitter. Don’t fall in his trap and ignore.
He's got 107 million followers, he's not just some random WUM. Whatever dumb shit he says actually has consequences, because for some reason there are lots of people who think he's smart and are influenced by his dumb shit.
Zelensky played this right.
He pinned this shit:
Even the Russian Dick Cheney at 3:45 looks at her with amazement.
Securing Kherson City means that Russia can never ever in a million years reach Odessa. It is a strategic victory. I would stop the Luhansk advance tomorrow if the extra forces are needed for a guaranteed win in Kherson City.
It is inevitable I think, as all bridges to send reinforcements to that side are blown, but it needs time to slowly drain the supplies and spirit of the remaining soldiers in that area.
If a Musk endorsed ceasefire is seriously considered, it won't be until after Kherson City is liberated at the very least.

Elon commented that the response to his poll is the biggest bot attack he's ever seen. The richer you are, the more disconnected to reality you are.
To be fair… kids that age are great at making TikToks
What a jerk!
They'll never see any action, they'll just roam the countryside with a gang of Chechan Tiktok rambos shooting at traffic lights and bushes.
So this musk fellow, just read his wiki page and he sounds like a cnut. Made most of his money from a rather dull looking car. Wtf?
Saw North Korea just sent an ICBM over Japan. I guess taking advantage of the focus being on Ukraine.
They any good at shooting traffic lights?
Exactly. Musk has an almost cult-like following, who take his word for gospel and will follow him through all of his weird (il)logical twists and turns. Pushing back won't convert them or Musk, but will reduce the influence his acolytes have on others. Definitely useful.

Reports of Svatove being evacuated of civilians.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by bombs that today would be on the low end of what is considered a tactical nuclear weapon.
I imagined something smaller. The images of such a weapon used on people would be politically devastating for Russia.

Do the Russians have their version of Davy Crocketts?

exactly. One of my friend is like this. Whatever Musk says must be the truth. It is crazy and my friend is by no means a dumb person but so blinded by the cult of Musk. He knows what influences he has but he chose to use it to troll (like this crypto tweets) just for the kick of it. Totally irresponsible prick.
It boggles the mind really. I bet if Musk wasn't rich he would have such an affliction. He is a zillionaire so he must speak the truth? Have people not learnt from the fraud that is Donald Trump?
It seems exact data on this is hard to come by, BBC says they can be less than a kiloton but isn't referring to Russia's arsenal in particular.

I mean this is perfect.
This guy is going to end up being so popular his kids will walk into office just on his name if they have a mind.
If I would be him, I would retire short after winning the war. Why tarnishing his legacy with the bickering of nasty politics
Would you if you went through what he's gone through? I might be wrong, but you might be inspired to do what you can to speed the recovery process, assuming there is one.
If Russia gets pushed back to their border i expect they'll continue to try to get back in for as long as Putin lives. It would prevent Ukraine from joining the EU at least.
