I refer you to my previous post. I wouldn't trust Sky Australia to tell me the sun is in the sky.

I have watched George Best put the ball over the bar from a central position on the edge of the goal area, any chance can be missed.

Just tell him you played in the Southern League - he'll never know if it's true or not.

What everybody needs to remember is that AA, Che, and Schlong all look worldies in training ---- because they are practicing against Fraser and Macca.

I suggest you pose your questions to those who can actually make the relevant decisions : the NATO politicians and Generals who don't want a NFZ. Surely they are the ones in possession of the data and intelligence on which actions can be based. They stated before the war started that they would not put troops into Ukraine, whether that encouraged Putin or not I don't know, and they have consistently continued to maintain that position in the 3 weeks since the 'Special Military Operation' kicked off. Remember, Putin's brain is wired differently. If you want my opinion, the West should have brought in the sanctions when Crimea was annexed. Is it just because this is happening in Europe that you think NATO should act ? Why did they not put a NFZ over Syria ? Or intervene in the Armenia / Azerbaijan conflict ?

It's part of their game - it forces NATO to do as much as they can short of a NFZ. Zelenskyy and his Ministers know that this is a NATO red line, the optics of an F-35 or Typhoon actively engaging an SU25 or MiG-29 that has deliberately entered restricted airspace will give Putin all the "proof" he needs to support his maniacal conspiracy theories about Western expansionism into Eastern Europe.

Any story that brings you, Scally, and Alexei76 together with Rudi Giuliani, Fox News, and Sky Australia has to be, at best, suspect. And as for 'still denying', I have neither confirmed or denied it's existence. However, I like this take on the affair..... https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/18/forgotten-and-ignored-context-emergence-hunter-biden-laptop-story/

Oh, that fairy tale.

NFZ also stops the Ukrainian airforce, stops their drones, and doesn't stop Russia's major weapon systems - artillery and ground launched missiles such as Grad.

Which has what to do with Trump ?

That comment is wrong - in 2008/09 the Labour Government launched the "Next Generation" plan for nuclear power, it was the debate after Fukushima that stalled things, under the ConDem coalition.

So now the Russians have reverted to their default plan B - 'liberating' people by bombing their cities back to the stone age.

Do you, like GM, never actually proof read what you post ?

You are correct about the benefits of capitalism; just look at the example of the P&O workers sacked to make way for cheaper foreign labour. I am sure that the "opportunity" afforded them will be "embraced" with joy and thanks.

Of course, since I changed it some of the comments above no longer make sense.

Good job they are not coming back down any time soon; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60804949 "Russian cosmonauts have arrived at the International Space Station wearing Ukrainian colours, in what appears to be a statement opposing the invasion."

"The extremists who successfully make it to Ukraine could return home with new weapons and combat experience under their belts — or stay in Ukraine, where they can further influence their countrymen online." Or.......stay in Ukraine as fertiliser for sunflowers.

UK Law determines that you are governed by the jurisdiction you work in, reagrdless of where your employer is based. The Government were told the day before - legally it has to be 45 days before.

There is a link earlier on this thread which Alexei76 posted that goes to a Department of Defense document about the threat mitigation projects - not what he thought it would say. EDIT: https://sam.gov/opp/0bd0de5ba5f94fc29d85b37a0a4b253b/view

They said this last week when they were pushing the bio-lab meme. The labs are old facilities where the US have been assisting in work on threat mitigation technologies.

Would you want to be on the first sailing with the new crew, who have no idea how the ships operate, haven't done ang safety training, have never been into the harbours, and probably don't speak the language in use at either end of the route.

According to some reports their contracts were with P&O Ferries(Jersey). Regardless, even Government Ministers are up in arms at the company's actions. I am amazed that anybody might think there is even the slightrst justification for the company's behaviour.

At the moment they are fighting the Russians. That is the only measure that matters.
