Of course the Ukraine situation would not be as it is had he still been in the White House - Putin would have known the US would have sat on it's hands and given him free rein.

And he didn't even credit the Daily Telegraph.

No fly zone creates problems; it prevents Ukrainian flights as well as Russian, NATO IFF systems would not be able to discriminate. It also puts NATO assets at direct risk of Russian provocation and risk of escalation - what happens the first time an F16 shoots down a Russian MiG that has refused to co-operate ?.

I don't think this is anywhere near Article 5 territory. More likely increased air defence along the Ukraine / NATO border which co-incidentally will range across western Ukraine, so that any Russian munitions coming too near will be zapped, just in case.

It's about 4 miles over the border, almost directly north of Lviv

Putin's pal Gianni Infantino calls for a ceasefire during the World Cup. Self interested twat.

As you are probably the most abusive poster on the forum, you deserve them.

Less of a desperate scramble searching for semi-relianle streams every weekend you aren't going to the match.

Always found it amusing that it is known as "The Matthews Final". At least SM has a statue outside Bloomfield Road.

Whilst it is certain that Ukraine set up a conduit for crypto based donations to be fed into their central bank via FTX, this rumour seems to have, at present, very little substance other than online postings originating from RT. With regard to the premise of the OP, the whole crypto thing seems to be a handful of people trying to prove they are so much smarter than the majority.

If Saints are in the mix on the final day I don't think it would matter who we were playing.

To get to 35 points we need to average a point a game, realistically we need to get a minimum of 28 points from 23 matches, so that probably means 7 wins + 7 draws. Not an unrealistic target, assuming we improve our striker options, but certainly squeaky bum time if we manage to survive on 40 points.

Well, GM is full of something.

Some alternative views, from some surprising fellow travellers; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11414971/50bn-fiscal-black-hole-calculated-artificial-uncertain-manner-economists-claim.html "Fiscal black hole of £50bn is a myth because it was calculated in 'artificial and uncertain' manner, economists claim " https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/13/dont-be-taken-in-by-50bn-fiscal-hole-dodgy-tory-metaphor "........But there is no objectively measured “hole”. What Hunt is describing is the gap between how big the OBR forecasts the national debt will be in the future and where he would like it to be according to his own rules; at the moment, the government says it wants the size of the national debt to be falling relative to the size of the economy within three years. This rule is a political choice." https://www.newstatesman.com/quickfire/2022/11/fiscal-black-hole-myth-justify-austerity "The “fiscal black hole” is a dangerous myth to justify austerity Imposing unnecessary spending cuts would trap the UK in an economic doom loop." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63573989 "A group of economists has questioned UK assertions that a "black hole" in the public finances will need to be filled with austerity measures and tax rises. The centre-left Progressive Economy Forum said the £50bn "hole" disappears entirely if the debts are calculated differently. The government previously used a different measure of debt, returning to that would leave £14bn spare, they say."

Given the way the Rugby League men and Rugby Union women fluffed their lines it was nice to at least get 1 out of 3 World Cups.

NOBODY agrees with you ! They may hold the same opinions as the articles you read, and C/P from, ( in this case this article https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/14/still-wouldnt-want-democrat-right-now/ in the Telegraph ), but none of that is your original input.

Hey GM, I thought that you would like to know that the Democrats have retained control of the Senate, they could even improve their position if they win the Georgia runoff, and Biden has the best mid-term results in 20 years.

At least for a couple of seasons.

I think it is more to do with a Spec Ops raid to eliminate Russian missile batteries operating on the spit. On a lighter note; a retreating Russian claims to have stolen a racoon from Kherson zoo. Ukraine have offerred to exchange 10 captured mobiks to secure the racoon's safe return.

When was he last correct in anything he posted ?
