Time isn't on the side of the Ukrainians who are all dying.

Who said it was OK? Putin is a tyrant who hopefully gets killed ASAP. Doesn't change the fact that this imo is overshelmingly likely to end with some sort of deal.

They wouldn't view NATO troops on Ukrainian soil as not a provocation.

OK then. Let's imagine we do what you suggest. So it ends with what? Russia giving back the Donbas and Crimea and retreating back to Moscow? And that's the end of it? Worth remembering history and how punitive sanctions after ww1 greatly contributed to the conditions for ww2.

He hasn't gotten away with anything. He's killed countless thousands of his own people, will be significantly weakened for decades to come and will hopefully be assassinated or something similar. Pragmatic people with a deep knowledge of Russia and Ukraine have already stated that this ends with some sort of deal where Russia can save some sort of face whilst in reality having to climb down from the majority of their aims.

Neither do I. Sadly the world is imperfect and there are no easy answers. What's the alternative then?

If the thinking is that Russia can't be seen to benefit in any way then how does this situation end in that scenario?

I'm not an expert on these matters, but people who know a lot more than I do about the situation have suggested that this will only end with some form of deal that may involve Russia having Crimea for example. It's a grim reality but I don't see how things aren't solved without some form of deal. What's the alternative?

I get that but it seems like such an unnecessary risk to take when you can resolve our goalkeeping issues for such a small amount of money relative to the rest of the squad.

Double post.

Whatever the reason, he sounded absolute shit anyway so hope Torino get him.

I'm hoping for some quality in the loan market. Maybe spend big on Downes or equivalent, an AM and a striker and then another striker and winger as a loan option?

You're right. Either we are interested - in which case we will have been given an indication that he would be happy to sign for us or we wouldn't be wasting our time - or we have have never been interested. Given that Alfie house said the club claimed we have never been interested, I'd be inclined to believe that.

Indeed. My brother in law was a player and told me about loads of players who never watched the game or looked at results, they just weren't interested at all they just happened to be good at it.

Spiked?

Jesus christ is your response to every comment about Labour going to be talking about the bloody tories? Are you going to keep this up for the next five years? It's only been a few days and it's already interminable. To answer your question the tories record on immigration is absolutely appaling. It's why they were rightly kicked out for doing a terrible job.

So we have a minister for women who doesn't know what a woman is. Not the best start for that role...

Yet Alfie house says we have no interest. Battle of the club insiders.

Sorry I shiuld have been clearer. I was talking about the link from the hammers fan. Completely ludicrous way to look at transfers.

Lol. I love how many fans talk about transfers. Total fantasy land.

You miss the point again.

Depressing isn't it. The far left in France win by default because everyone is so preoccupied with preventing the far right from gaining power.

You could say the same about Labour here tbh. Given the voting figures, it's very much the case that the Conservatives rightly got punished and the public wanted them out rather than embracing Labour. I do wonder how long the enthusiasm will last if they can't resolve the issues like migration that people care about.

Agree. I don't think they have a hope of cobbling something together to last a term. The danger for everyone else is that support will grow for the national front in the meantime unless they sort things like immigration and national identity issues out.

Not all good news. Sounds like some on the far left are just as bad.
