Hates Trump and his Russian supporting acolytes you mean?

Read the story of how the residents of Sumy, without any military support, hardly any of them with any training whatsoever, with a small stockpile of weapons and ammunition and homemade molotov cocktails held out against Russian forces using Whatsapp to organise themselves and incredible...

It’s a really tough watch, very real and personal. Great the BBC have made this as it starts to slip from people’s minds.

The doc on Mariupol on BBC One right now is absolutely brutal, really brings it home when you see the raw footage.

I'm not sure, revolutions have often led to dictators. Russia is a case in point, as was France, Spain - although Franco was a coup rather than a revolution. Power vacuums seldom lead to solid peaceful democratic outcomes.

"Man has always assumed that he is more intelligent than dolphins because he has achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But, conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more...

It’s almost like having confirmation all the health stuff has been made up!

Okay. There’s mindfulness for that. Annoying? :lolol:

It's easy to be critical of 'modern' Germany, but their reliance on energy goes back to decades to pre 1990 - much of what was East Germany's energy infrastructure still dates back to the Cold War. They've just layered over it over time, but that reliance is still there...

Matt Le Tissier, is he in our Bear Pit? 1511344295084793860

Yeah, just suspicious on nationality. I'm not going to watch it or read anything further as I'm sure a British PM would never lie or deceive the British people. God Save the Queen!

Had my third nuclear strike dream last night. I was in a meeting at the top of a high rise building, lots of glass, I don’t know whom I’m meeting or what it’s about but someone comes rushing in and they’re told we weren’t to be disturbed, but they’re not looking at us, and we follow their gaze...

It's rare escalating a conflict does either.

I would assume Covid ripping through your army isn’t a great idea during an invasion.

Just learn to ignore the odd post NB before reacting. You don’t do yourself any favours.

Good article. :thumbsup:

I was only thinking that the news coming out of Russia is completely 1984 and the ministry of truth. You can almost imagine Orwell's 3 quotes on the ministry building: "War is Peace" "Freedom is Slavery" "Ignorance is Strength"

Largely covering why you can't shut down the debate on history.

No words I can say can convey any understanding of what your wife, her family and you are going through. It's unimaginable. I hope you get good news at some point I really do.

I have no idea. BBC report officials have told them 17 wounded, 3 dead, tragic as that is. Looking at the damage, if the building was full the death toll would be in the 100s. Perhaps it is? I don't know. It's difficult to know.
