I have slightly amended your text.

So much for liberating them from Nazism.

Never a penalty.

At least you acknowledge Crimea is in Ukraine 🙂

Oh come on, you spent weeks, ( months ? ), telling us that Ukraine was a lost cause. Of course things are very difficult over there, but so far they have not folded, and civilian morale seems to be strong. Almost every instance in the last 120 years where attempts have been made to force a nation to surrender by terrorising the civil populace has failed, including the British and Americans completely flattening every area oif habitation in Germany withover 5000 inhabitants. ( By 1945 Bomber Harris had actually run out of targets for the RAF ). The Ukraininas are putting an awful lot of effort into repairing the damaged infrastructure, and are getting huge amounts of supplies to assist in that area.

Half of the PL play other PL teams.

That is like saying the Germans after the battle of Kursk in 1943 were not losing the war on the Eastern Front. They have lost at least a third of the territory they occupied at the point of their furthest advance, thay have lost the only regional capital they had managed to capture, Their Black Sea Fleet is cowering in safe harbour after being forced back by a country without any operational surface warships, their aircraft are falling out of the sky due to lack of maintenance and spares, and despite months of effort they still have not got anywhere near taking Bakhmut. According to the MoD they have even resorted to removing the tactical nuclear warheads from some air launched missiles and replaced them with concrete, reducing these weapons to high velocity bricks.

Yes, but that does not alter the facts about their arms supplies to the Ukrainians. The statement that they had not reacted to the SMO was incorrect. Are the Russians still winning ?

And the Canadians since 2015 - what is your point ? Are the Russians still winning ?

I have posted a reply on the Russia thread.

Moved from the World Cup thread; Germany sent 1000 anti-tank and 500 anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine within a week of the invasion starting. On March 24, exactly a month after it started they sent 2000 more AT missiles, and committed to over 2000 more AA systems. By then they had also given permission for the Dutch and Estonians to release German manufactured heavy weapons to Ukraine. ( Remember, the German constitution had forbidden this before Putin forced them to re-assess things ). https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/26/germany-approves-delivery-of-rpgs-from-netherlands-to-ukraine https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-war-germany-to-send-2-000-more-anti-tank-weapons-to-ukraine-report-2839664

Taking things off topic, but this is just total bs. 5 days after the invasion started, every country in NATO had already committed to military assistance for Ukraine. Within 2 weeks of the invasion the non-NATO countries Sweden and Finland had also chipped in.

Children ( Cymraeg : When I lived in Wales I always imagined road signs indicating " Heavy plant crossing" meant there were large children about ).

Presumably you always contact online vendors before completing a purchase so as to verify that they exclusively use Royal Mail ?

You could be the better man and simply ignore them.

Canada !!!!! Goal scorer plays up front for his country, left back for Bayern Munich.

Fairly good chance of Argentina, Belgium, and Germany all failing to reach the knock-out stages.

So, in that case you should set an example in keeping it on topic.

On the left, Passchendaele in WW1. On the right Bakhmut, 2022.

4 out of 5 posts by you on this page have been sniping at a poster rather than adding to the discussion.

Red hot pokers. ( The plants, not the tools of medieval regicide ).

There is video of Raab in front of a Commons Committee failing to answer questions on why he wants to reform sections 2&3 of the Human Rights Act. He is asked to give one example of a Legal case that shows the Act isn't working and justifies his legislation, but he can't. ( Article 2 is the right to life, Article 3 is freedom from torture and degrading treatment. The proposed reforms intend to prevent Courts interpreting the Law in a manner that is contrary to pervading Government opinion ).

Post script to the non-delivery posted above; When we went to check at the house where the parcel had been 'delivered' they were out, so we decided to wait until today to pick it up. This morning, just after 09:00 we received another email from EVRI saying our parcel would be delivered this morning, before 10:00 ! Sure enough, at 10:05 it arrived. Luckily we hadn't yet gone to the other house for a parcel that wasn't there.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63754212 "Rishi Sunak has been criticised for re-appointing Dominic Johnson as a trade minister 26 days after he was sacked. The Conservative donor and ex-business partner of MP Jacob Rees-Mogg was given a lifetime peerage so he could serve in Liz Truss's government, but was later dismissed by Mr Sunak." This is the man who last week said the Government ".......should be more honest with farmers about how trade deals could harm their businesses. He argued ministers should instead explain how agricultural businesses will be helped to transition their buildings into “offices or whatever it is.”"
