Well, that's what happens when you dabble in the overseas market. I bet RDZ has similar translation issues with his Spanish, German, Japanese, Portuguese, English, etc. speaking players ....

IIRC Russia were doing lots of "military exercises" on the Ukrainian border before the invasion and telling the world they had no intentions of invading Ukraine. With hindsight, the world now knows that Russia tells porkies, perhaps the Russians think that porkies are the norm and Finland are...

Day release? Try before you buy? Eurofighters are £multi-million bits of kit, can't see us gifting these.

I'm no Russian history expert but the only withdrawal (not defeat, so just like Vietnam) the Russians have ever made (in the last 100 years anyway) was Afghanistan in the 1980s when the penny dropped that the Mujahedeen were never going to be properly defeated [took 10 years for that to happen...

That would be clear and obvious escalation, so it won't happen officially. That said, unofficially I'd be confident that some NATO boots (special forces) are already on Ukraine soil, the likes of you and I will always be told that's not the case.

Indeed, a war of attrition where one side appears to hold no value for infantryman lives because they have significantly greater numbers. My fear is that Ukraine will eventually run out of soldiers. Female vet working as frontline medic, inspiring but so sad ...

Oooh, good news for me - I'd heard he was favourite so lumped a grand on him to win and I got exceptional odds. If he does manage to scrape a victory, I stand to win ... errr .... ## starts to do mental maths and count the fingers on one hand ... 1p YEY !! Good job its not a popularity...

With Russian naval and aircraft losses mounting, some of the Navy and Air Force personnel need to start being more careful else they'll find themselves being redeployed as boots on the ground alongside the conscripts.

Sorr, can't remember now. It was on Freesat, up around the Select and True Crimes channels. I've looked again on search but nothing coming up. Maybe try Google?

Anyone else been watching "Russia's wars" series on TV. Starts off way back with Peter the Great and works all the way up to Putin and Ukraine. Some good history in there, worth a watch.

I watched a TV programme last night. Documentary from a journalist inserted alongside the Russian army, close and right up to the front line. Poor bloke was scared out of his wits. Highlighted (to me) that war is truly dreadful / horrific. But the mindset of the Russian soldiers was telling...

Not sure if you're fishing, but I'll bite. UK government has an overdraft facility with the bank of England. Its called "the national debt". It's quite a big number and we all pay for it as interest via our taxes. It is often spoken of as something expensive that we should try to reduce, so...

Slightly off-topic. What's happening with the International Space Station these days? If memory serves, the only way to get there [and back] was via a Russian rocket - have missions ceased? Or is there a space exploration pact that keeps this show on the road?

Or repurpose all the migrant dinghies littering the Kent coast - just add a fast motor - 5 minute job ....

Bit like cricket [well not really], nobody is really winning until it's won [game over]. This may go down to a super-over, last ball victory, but impossible to say for who, just now.

Did you ask him why, with such strong pro-Russian views, he was still in the UK and not out in Ukraine fighting alongside his special operation comrades? Ooh, was he a spy?

As puppets go, Lavrov is not so far away from Pinocchio's level ...

My concern would be possible breach of the Official Secrets Act [not trying to lecture - honest]. What your lad is doing is admirable, but if he's in the military, engaging with foreign armed [or special] forces, maybe you should not be sharing this publicly [I fully recognise you must...

3-3 and heading for extra time. Could be 5-5 before going to penalties. Transfer window still open so both sides bringing in fresh blood (literally) ... If only it were a game ...

Hmmm, Novichok and Polonium 210 stocks must be low so resorting to cheaper tactics
