O/T:- Ukraine [Incorporating 'Congrats to Russia' thread]

[jackal2]

Football fan forums must be one of the few last remaining corners of the internet that haven't become political echo chambers, we've got a genuine diversity of thoughts and ideas here.

True! This isn't a place for people who are "offended" by reading opinions different to their own.

so it would seem. Now I have visions of you guys at home in a sea of empty Special Brew cans with your razor blades sewn into your rosettes, scarves tied around your wrists all your bruises and missing teeth from Glaswegian kisses and Millwall bricks, meticulously elucidating the nuances of international relations.
It's a funny owd game!

Not clear yet, but looks like Putin might have caught up with Yevgeny Prigozhin...

He's gone for a ride with Die Walkure.

Or that's what they would have the world believe? What was the recent video about cleaning up in Africa all about, another diversion?

Would be nice to think it was good news but there may be worse lying in the wings.

Meanwhile Putin is blaming the West again for forcing him to invade Ukraine - how many Vodkas does he need to keep a straight face, I thought it was all about fighting the Nazi movement.

I thought it was all about fighting the Nazi movement.

Prighozin explained pretty clearly what it is all about, which along with the coup is what made him persona non grata.

Although it sounds like they got other high ranking Wagner people as well, including Dmitry Utkin (decorated ex Russian military intelligence officer and founder of Wagner) so I suppose you could say Russia has, after a year and a half, finally got round to killing fascists.

It's worth Googling Utkin (and his tattoos) if you don't know about him.

Maybe it dawned on the sensible people that any truce/peace treaty would be unenforceable in the future unless NATO were stationed there.

I would have thought the Germans would have been more aware of that than most.

Pile of blatant lies.
