The man himself ; "“Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us, It is an inalienable part of our own history, culture, and spiritual space. Ukraine’s borders have no meaning other than to mark a former administrative division of the Soviet Union: “Modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia.”" He is currently attempting to create what is known as 'Novorossiya'. Also, try this..... http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181

Putin doesn't want to 'liberate' the 'Russians' in Donbas, he has openly admitted he wants the whole of Ukraine back as Russian territory, as he does not recognise Ukraine's right to exist independently. His next stop will be Moldova, not just Transnistra, and without NATO he would roll on to the Baltic states. His aim is to reinstate the Russian empire. He is as much an expansionist megalomaniac as Hitler was.

Presumably you have no issue with the statue in Kyiv celebrating 'Friendship' between Ukraine and Russia being dismantled.

How good is our squad really ? As good as we might reasonably expect given our ownership and finances since Marcus passed away. It might have been better if Les Reed had never been at the club and some of his 'Star Buys' had never materialised, but I think this is our level given our spending and "pulling" power.

Ritchie Benaud once said that when Jim Laker took his 19 wickets against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956, Tony Lock bowled better but only ended up with 'the other one'.

Apparently activists in Belarus disrupted the rail network in the early weeks of the invasion and caused severe problems for Russian supply lines. This was made easier because the Belarus rail network management system operates on Windows XP.

GM, as I was responding to his post, but obviously fits both.

Right, I refuse to waste any more of my birthday on this rubbish. I'm off to cut the grass and then wash the car. ( And hopefully see Hampshire win against Kent ).

At least we will now have a RB on the right and a LB on the left.

A war where probably thousands of civilians have been deliberately killed is bound to change opinions.

Thick twat doesn't understand the difference between the EU, an economic consortium, and NATO, a mutual defence pact.

We had the birthday cake today at a family party.

Greasy-Moggy needs to understand that the Government can only function with the goodwill of the Civil Service.

You forgot Portsmouth. ( I will now go and sanitise my keyboard ).

"For Russia. For the victory" After a few weeks in the sun it seems to have changed sides.....

Saints better win or it will spoil my birthday.

He said that if we don't apply strict sanctions then the Russians would spin it as 'the whole world being behind them', and effectively supporting the SMO. Try reading and understanding the posts you respond to.

This, with Valery left at Staplewood.

Use scissors.

A comment on the BBC; "Football historians will come, in time, to study the "Southampton effect" winning odd games against teams, never going on a run, and yet always being comfortably mid table with no one quite sure how they got there.."

Oh I know - calling Valery a "defender" in the first place is stretching a point.

How can you nominally play 3 CBs and yet give so many free headers inside the box ?
