This is political, whether you like that or not. Just take @Cow ‘s advice and get on with it.

Anyway, I thought you had me on ignore?!

I think the NHL one is bollocks mind
 
You must be logged on to see media items

R.I.P. to all of those murdered by Putin’s dogs for the crime of being Ukrainian. 2000 killed in less than a week (almost certainly higher). This, along with Zelenskyy’s comments about Russians having instructions to “wipe out us all”, shows that we may be starting to head towards genocide now.
 
Fair comment.


It’s a thread about war, mate.

A sovereign nation being attacked by another one.

It’s impossible to keep politcs out of it.
you could use my full quote, you know the important bit about tit for tat arguing.

discussion on the politics of this is fine imo and important as politics has lead us to this point, getting the boring same few people fighting for the two sides of British political groups that fight on every thread posted on the politics forum is what the mods asked to stop, big difference.
 
With the sanctions on Russian banks any western company with operations and ltd company in Russia won’t be able to touch/ repatriate profits/cash back to their HQ

Can see why so many brands are ceasing operations in Russia ( over and above the moral viewpoint)

No mention of the ******* ban
 
i think if you were to google Stalingrad (well Volgograd now) you'd be surprised at how far east it is

For some reason I always assumed it was either in eastern Ukraine or just over the border
Volgograd, whilst further east than Moscow, is closer to the border than Moscow is. But aye, neither are a mere hop and a skip away from the border.

Agreed. The way I see it, everyone on this thread wants Russia to lose and get out of Ukraine regardless of U.K. domestic politics.
