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.
Doubtful, but we can hope.
Nah, I believe both of those two are Ukrainian
Some really ominous vibes coming from US intelligence w/r/t Kyiv falling to the Russians:
Even lil Marco is saying this:
Stiffer than expected Ukrainian resistance and Russia's own logistical missteps have bogged down Russia's advance, US and Western officials say, sparking a fragile optimism. The US has also continued sharing downgraded intelligence with the Ukrainians, including about Russian military moves, in an attempt to help Ukraine on the battlefield, two of the sources told CNN.
But intelligence and defense officials closely tracking the Russian campaign say Putin still holds a number of moves in reserve that could devastate the Ukrainian resistance.

Roughly a quarter of Russia's amassed troops have yet to enter Ukraine, a senior defense official told reporters on Monday — a potential "second wave," according to two sources familiar with the intelligence — and defense officials say Putin could yet order a far less restrained bombing campaign, including airstrikes, long-range missiles and artillery.
Even lil Marco is saying this:
It just sucks big time
After trickling attacks so far, looks like Russia are going to throw the kitchen sink at Kiev over the next couple of days. I don't want to imagine what happens next
Was thinking the same, plus Putin can't feasibly hit them while on NATO ground, unless he risks total escalation
It is very likely Kyiv will fall sooner or later. They will not be able to hold it for forever and the sheer number of Russian troops still coming towards Kyiv, they are very likely to break through. The biggest question here I think is, what's next after they take Kyiv? I think it's doubtful now that they can take over entire Ukraine, especially the western part of it, since they had much more time to prepare than the other parts, so does Russia just stop there?
It's actually not only the Czech republic, Slovakia punishes online comments supporting Russia with 10-25 years in prison.

My sense is that they’ll come on the negotiating table after. Right now, with nothing to show for they’re not in a position to bargain. But with Kiev control, however temporary, they can quickly come and negotiate something that remotely feels like a win and get it done with.
This is 'old' and debunked. Not sure why they are tweeting it now, unless it's suddenly true now.
Well, I was right about the "force" being used, it's no more than a few dozens of soldiers walking on foot into the city! Even without an armor! What I don't understand is why nobody is shooting at them. They're just walking in the city without any fight.
Surely there has to be somebody with a gun in the city and will pick them out...
Guess the objective is to eliminate/exile Zelenskiy and prop up a puppet government.
The disinformation is that just because strikes happened elsewhere does not mean that they matter less here in Ukraine now. You should be even fecking angrier about what is starting to happen in Kharkiv right now, because it is beginning to look like Russia will consider doing what they did in Syria and turn Kharkiv into another Aleppo.
You are doing the Kremlin’s job for them if you are engaging in whataboutery. They actively want black people, brown people and white people from the West to divide on these issues and not present a united front.
Was about to post this. Jesus feckin christ.
Bloody hell
Seems only a matter of time now that Kyiv will be taken over by russian forces. A bloody and devastating night and now so many russian forces are advancing into Ukraine.
Looks like it landed in the front garden.
Awful, it looks like the strike actually missed the target and hit Infront of the building.
Still in shock and can't get my head around this happening in Europe in 2022.
It’s bad for Ukraine at the minute but it’s worse in Yemen and about to get even worse.
There’s roughly 3 million children starving in Yemen and without Ukraine’s wheat it will get a hell of a lot worse.
The Arab states must be hoping that Russia takes Ukraine quickly.

That car, driving after the blast, it’s very sad they’re obviously dead and the car is just rolling forward.
Yea but will people suddenly stop fighting once this happens? Ukraine is way past the point of accepting any pro Russian government IMO.
It is true.
Very good point.
There are conflicting statements by the governments of the states mentioned, though
Ah no, I don't think thev resulting insurgency will be over in months, if not years.
Not necessarily, but hopefully.
Russia is no.1 supplier of wheat in the world and Ukraine 4th. I do not think much wheat will be produced this year in Ukraine. But the "arab states" could help their own. There are enough super rich states there so that they could support with food, water and medicines if they actually WANTED to help.
That's a big IF
We are seeing satellite images of the 40mile Russian military convoy.
But why are the roads not being mined or covered by IEDs in order to slow or stall them.
Or bomb them from the air with jets or attack helicopters.
They look to be a sitting target.

There is a separate thread for Yemen.
Help their own? I don’t think the Arab states would consider another Arab state as their own? Its like saying why don’t Poland help Ukraine, it’s never that simple.
I mean Saudi Arabia are bombing Yemen almost daily, Some Yemen’s are trying to bomb Dubai, missile intercepted two weeks ago.
I also don't understand this. Should be the easiest target to hit ever. Russia may have air superiority, but surely artillery or missile strikes would still be an option.
it sure did kill many. It directly hit one car, I think
what a pointless way to die, absolutely mindboggling..can't wrap my head around it
That's what I thought. Ukraine release footage of them hitting other convey'a which are smaller
