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.
Oh, you believed that.
There appear to have been some major Russian assaults recently in a few locations. It will be interesting to see if UKR can hold the line.
Is what's going on here that you pretended to ask a question while knowing perfectly well what I was referring to, just so you could set up a snarky reply saying that you believe either that the Washington Post or their sources are lying? If so, feel free to don't do that next time, or at least jump straight to the snark. Saves time.
I guess this Russian priest is now deployed to a "hot spot" for eternity.
The always reliable Def Mon illustrating why SW of Donetsk is one of the most critical sectors of the war. UA is not so far away from being in range of the not-so-robust rail infrastructure vital to Russia after the Kerch bridge bombing.

To be honest he has been betting on it his entire career and every time he was proven right up until now, it’s up to us to show that western values can withstand it.
DJ is well up for it.
27 minute video from the liberation of Kupiansk, filmed by soldiers from the Kraken regiment
Just seen a video of Russian soldiers giving a warm welcome to one of their mobilized in the Donetsk direction by collectively raping him. Sick sick country.
What kind of sick feck records and uploads this shite.
(and watches).
It came up on my Twitter feed I’m sorry. 
It was blurred as well!
It was blurred as well!What the feck.
It’s all over the Twitter now
That's seriously fecked up but on the list of fecked up things from Russian soldiers during the invasion it's pretty far down the list
As far as I understand it used to be/ is a common practice in their army where victims normally are those undergoing compulsory military service.That's seriously fecked up but on the list of fecked up things from Russian soldiers during the invasion it's pretty far down the list

Interesting report from 2020 of the Ukrainian perspective of Mariupol. Wonder if it will ever be possible to do a follow up taking into account the effects of Russian occupation

A very important one is to be able to mock religion. Life of Brian, 1979, that's 43 years ago. I don't know any other places in the world that would be able to create such a great movie that mocks their predominant religion.
Putin is KGB, but since he cannot sell the "Communist Values" any more, he has been selling religion to Russians.

‘Dogma’ is also a great flick in the same vein.
Civil liberties, the separation of power and democracy.
I suppose it says something about post modernism that so many people people are no longer able to discern their own societal context. Presumably because they have never known the alternative (the way a fish doesn't know what water is either). And why in the era of moral relativism, so many are also unable to distinguish the evils of Western societies from the evils of oppressive regimes.
This bothers me:

I wasn't aware that the LNG imports had continued at such volumes.

Volumes is a stretch, but as ever, Oh look! 46% more!! has more of an effect than the true numbers. In actuality it's only an increase of 5 billion cubic metres (LNG) versus a reduction of 60 BCM of the normal stuff. It's almost margin of error territory.
Buisness as usual for totalitarian states. They are totalty dependant on some sort of external existential treath to keep the people in line. Read the other day that the propaganda had taken a more religious tone now and that its wasnt only Nazis, but now also Satan worshippers they were fighting and this was some kind of holy war.
Russia defending the world against satanistic gay jewish Nazis
I can't wrap my head around that to be honest. I understand what the words mean, but the concept is just incomprehensible to me.
Please be more accurate when making sweeping generalisations like that.
They are on drugs as well.
Yes, that's it! Exactly!
I was thinking, how extraordinary it is that so many ordinary Russians consider this to be a reasonable explanation of what is happening. But then, I realised that some Americans believe that Trump is the messenger of God, so...
Religion has been and remains the root of many problems in the world. Perhaps it is not religion per se, it is the ability of so many people to accept bullshit as truth. But it is the same thing, isn't it?
Elon Musk's pal David Sacks talks about his idea of splitting up Ukraine.
This narrative seems to have magically emerged on both their twitter feeds around the time it was revealed Musk spoke to Putin.

140 million and captured NLAW, Javelin and Stinger missiles was paid to Iran for the Shahed munitions.
All that for 160 drones/loitering munitions? That's an excellent deal for Iran
Considering the rumoured actual price of 20k for a Shahed-136 140m would buy 7,000 units...
This is 99% of Russia. Only a few major cities are "modernized".
Yikes, that is scary.
