It's all very odd. If we assume they've been waiting years to make this play but the perception is its a slapstick amateurish operation up to this point.

It looks and feels like a old Heavyweight boxer returning to the ring, absolutely zero chance versus the modern world.

Modern warfare bypassed Russia decades ago.
 
I see the Ukrainian Embassy has set up a funding site to allow cash donations for humanitarian and military aid.

It’s called WithUkraine.

Would be class if we could get enough together for our own SMB NLAWs.

It’s just a pity so many have to lose their lives to prove it!

I'm from South Hylton.

My favourite was having to bribe airport officials because I'd traveled gto somewhere that wasn't on my visa and they wouldn't let me return to Moscow. Always helps to have a couple of bottles of cognac at hand.

I'm likely being thick but what's does NLAWs stand for?
 
Watching the godfather atm. The scene with Clemenza showing Michael the gun before he kills solozzo.
He says something like “they should all be stopped at the beginning before they go to far”
“They should have stopped hitler in Munich, they should never have let him get away with that”

Found it quite fitting tbh.
 
I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere on this thread... but it advances faster than I do...

Doesn't the US and Russia co-operate on space these days? NASA uses Russian hardware to support the ISS doesn't it?

Is this a potential flash point if Russia but a block on this? Could NASA still supply the ISS without them or could the Russians take it over entirely if they were isolated on the ground?
