Maybe if Putin was pressured into the invasion by some bloke whose father had invaded 10 years ago and... something about annexing Moldova and slant drilling, I don't know.

This is exactly the kind of meaningless, wafer thin political satire I love about you Bret. Keep it up.

The Swiss have made the groundbreaking decision to support sanctions after deciding that an invasion is, in their words, "not neutral."

That didn't work then.

It seems the Antonov 225 has been destroyed. Obviously not comparable to any loss of life but sad, it was a truly unique aircraft.

It just takes one Putin bodyguard to be a hero and end this madness...

Half of Americans couldn't even point to USA on a World map. Their ignorance is hardly evidence of anything.

My, grandma, what big eyes you have. 🙄

I think that’s been debunked as fake news, sadly. The footage was from a video game.

Officially, that’s what they’re sending. The public will probably never hear about some of the properly good stuff.

Weirder stuff has happened, especially with dictators. People like Putin surround themselves with yes men, scared to speak up if they think something is wrong. Stalin invaded Finland after having a lot of his elite officers executed and replaced with more desirably party affiliates, they got an arse whooping. A couple of Panzer divisions sat scratching their arses for several crucial hours on D-Day, because Hitler liked a lie in and none of his staff were brave enough to wake him up. True but our little jolly down there was much more recent and probably fresher in the minds of our military commanders. I doubt many still serving in Russia’s military saw action in Afghanistan.

If there’s one thing we’ll have learned the hard way from Iraq and Afghanistan, is how to run an effective insurgency and the kinds of attack an occupying force will dread facing.

If everyone stands firm and does that, they'll basically win the World Cup by default, without kicking a ball. FIFA wont stand for that kind of embarrassment, they'll probably kick them out to protect their own image.

3 (or more) goals conceded in five consecutive games for only the second time in PL history according to OPTA (Sunderland were the other in 2005).

I wasn't hopeful of Leeds doing much today but 2-0 down in 15 minutes against Spurs.

Ukraine are probably a good bet for Eurovision this year.

Back to back, 2-0 home wins, who can argue with that. Decent performance all round and we can enjoy the rest of the weekend knowing we’ve already done our job and gone home. Thought KWP, Salisu and Rom were excellent once again. Broja not a Chelsea player on that showing but hardly a poor performance.

That's as daft as Delldays' cake and pronouns argument.

Surreal media statement of the day.

Okay, everyone post your postal address on this thread. If t'internet goes tits up I'll send you all a print out of Tub Girl.

That’s not the same as saying cutting one cable will cripple our economy though and I never said there was, ‘nothing’ to worry about.

The idea of cutting just one cable, which can only be accessed by submarine, to crash our economy is a cool plot for a Bond film but I think there are a few more safeguards than that.

I understand that but with regards to the last sentence; why? What makes you think any NATO leaders, or their populations, wouldn't be willing to repel Russian military advances?
