What would you have left to listen to ?

Now if it was 5000 Helmuts.......

They are pleading that they are a "special case". If everybody claiming an exemption had it granted, there would be no sanctons at all. There is no such thing as a one-way injunction.

Not that I for an instant think this is even a "thing", if it does happen, whilst Saints are taking instructions and gels are the other team just running on the spot ?

They would still be alive if the Russians had stayed out. Blue on Blue Russian casualties are sad for their families, but entirely the fault of Putin and his enablers.

Posting on two different threads only reinforces the idiocy of this statement. The EU was founded with, partly, the intent of removing the threat of another war between France and Germany, given that most European wars since the fall of the Roman Empire have involved those countries, or their precursors, but especially WW1 and WW2.

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, says that negotiations can start once Ukraine has surrendered and agreed to be "de-militarised".

War between France and Germany, yes, given that most European wars since the fall of the Roman Empire have involved those countries, or their precursors, but especially WW1 and WW2.

Try explaining this to your insurance company " It was like this, a bloody great Russian tank suddenly appeared......"

Of course, Russia doesn't use the Internet or international communications networks.

Alice ? Alice ? Who the fuck is Alice ?

Or "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" by R.E.M.

So, I again ask you, where do you draw the line ? Estonia ? Latvia ? Lithuania ? Poland ? Czechia ?

That is what the punctuation suggested. If NATO will not provide direct military intervention in support of an invasion of the Baltic states., surely it would be economically and humanitarily better to simply concede.

The same is probably true for the Russian general population.

So why not remove the possibility of a war and simply cede the 3 Baltic states to Russia now ?

Sanctions against Belarus is a good move.

Or Vlad dies and a more reasonable successor arrives on the international stage, one with less baggage hanging over from the Cold War.

The 82nd Airborne arrived last week to reinforce those already there. Also https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/ukraine/2022/02/22/us-attack-helos-f-35s-and-infantry-heading-to-baltics-amid-ukraine-invasion/ Obviously the bigger NATO members don't give a stuff about their smaller allies.

But it is the narrative he has sold his people. Remember, what we are dealing with is Russian Folk History, dating back to the summer of 1941, when many Ukrainians welcomed the Germans as liberators.

I wonder what underlying domestic problems Russia is undergoing have prompted this distraction.

And where, therefore, would you draw the line ?
