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.
Sanctions take time to take affect (watched a lot of tv yesterday as I didn’t quite understand how they work), so over time they will have an impact on Russia.
that being said, do we just let Russia invade another country and take it over without handing it back?
to the latter part, I hope itdoesn’t go further as we all know what that means
Ahhh ok, I must have missed it.
Ukraine isn’t NATO - what are you babbling on about
No. NATO should incorporate them immediately - if they want to join. And defend them if needs be. Not pussy footing around and then leave the country to fend for itself.
Not sure if this was posted, but the defiance in the face of death was highly commendable.
NATO can't do anything here so they are not toothless. US and EU are definitely toothless though but it has been confirmed long time ago.
You see if NATO had balls and really wanted to rid the world of Putin, now would be the time to do it. As Putin is occupied with moving
I dont mean on this site . God people take eveything so literally these days.
Maybe take a step back and a couple of deep breaths
i'm good. Log off and jog on pal
I struggle with this. I feel like there was no point having 13 border guards on that island when an invasion was imminent. Ukraine should have brought them back to the mainland and join defensive operations.
Just horror all around.
Russia has banned UK airplanes from using Russian airspace. Who gives a feck, who wants to go there anyway
Crazy Ukraine pulled this off at that point in time.
Which is a bad joke on two fronts. We spent between 30 and 40 billion every year on our military, that's not nothing. We probably have to increase that spending, but there is really no excuse to be in this state with a budget like that, absolute none, I have no idea where the money goes but apparently not into the equipment of the soldiers, so questions have to be asked what our military spends their money on, absolute travesty.
Retaliation for Aeroflot being banned, I assume
Aren't we paying a fortune to an army of advisers?
Absolutely this, Boris and Biden bumbling idiots and don't get me started on France, Germany and Italy.
Russian special ops group that broke into Kiev has been eliminated. #standwithukraine
Wonder if it was too late to pull them back by the time it kicked off.

There are a few different payment options listed here that might be better.
Are the Germans and Italians going to agree to the SWIFT sanctions or not?
This is going to impact everyone but they need to get with the program and stay consistent with the rest of Europe and the US.

That's every bit as idiotic as the opinion you're telling people to get fecked over.
That’s just like saying Hitler was rational.
I wouldn't count on it for the time being
Yeah but you’ll want to go Asia through Russian airspace.
Many of those states have joined, some have stayed in the orbit of Russia, not exactly sure what you're on about?
Very disappointing
This is fascinating to watch. I'm pretty sure I've seen the same military vehicles drive back and fourth twice now. Almost feels like they are pulling the old military parade trick of flying the same plane multiple times. (I know they're not, but this certainly isn't a one direction blitz as some would have you believe).
Edit: Well feck now the Russians noticed the camera.
Source please?
Lots of reports breaking that Russian saboteurs in Kyiv have been subdued. It wasn’t the front line.

Yup.
Yep it's a military doctrine called deep battle. Unlike traditional blitzkrieg, where you have one major attack to pierce the opponent's defenses, in deep battle you start by making a lot of small attacks along the entire front, you then find the weak point and then devote a ton of fresh reserves to exploit that weakness.
Maybe I'm paranoid here, but would a western airline feel safe flying over Russia right now? Wouldn't be the first "accident".
Sounds like air raid sirens going off right on Kyiv live streams
So will Russia actually claim any new territory after this? (Like everything east the Dnieper River? Or will they not stop there?) Or are they just going to instill a puppet regime in Ukraine?
Thing is I always look at Russia on a map and think to myself, "that country just isn't big enough..."

Yea. I think UK, EU and US (with some other countries potentially joining too) definitely have the power to basically kill Russia economically, if we really wanted to. We would of course have to take a hit also but we are supposed to be some of the strongest countries in the world, surely we can overcome that together. A complete isolation of Russia is the only thing that can stop them and prevent something that will cost even more money inevitably.
Yeah that's the fecking problem, the money goes straight into the pockets of Frau von der Leyen's adviser buddies. This shite needs to be cleaned up asap.
