Peace talks by the end of February

If there are they won’t be fruitful I’d wager. Ukraine isn’t going to give up territory and I don’t think they can put a big enough offensive together before then for Putin to concede.

Elbarad

That had to be a pen didn’t it? Literally pulled his shirt off.

Elbarad

Also get Twine on

Elbarad

That’s a death trap behind goal! Why on earth is the door open?

Elbarad

Wow this ref is horrible. And most have been in our favor!

Elbarad

hahahahahahahahaha

well that's just funny.

Wout for the hat trick in ET.

Twitter banned the New York Post's account, they were sharing emails from the laptop. At least as I remember it! So.. an actual legitimate news organization posting actual emails discussing potential corruption. This is not conspiracy theories. It's journalists doing journalism. Every single news ch...

Elbarad

You don't dispute my theory that the reason that twitter looks left leaning is because they suspended and banned accounts advocating either US Presidential election fraud or COVID denial, which are overwhelmingly right wing positions? Lockdown denial is a completely different thing btw, and I'm pre...

Thanks guys!

What are the rules on subs? Can teams make more in extra time beyond the 90 min limit?

Not that I'm aware, but I don't consider myself a rules expert. But I made my comment before the final sub. So I guess he won't get on.

Elbarad

He'd be a problem in extra time when Spain is tired. Hope he gets on.

Elbarad

I worry that at some point regardless if they want to send more aid to Ukraine, the NATO countries, with some exceptions, are going to run out of stuff to send without dipping past their own minimum requirements. Some of this I think is because of years of not fulfilling their required GDP expenditu...

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA. The rest of you enjoy your days at work!

Elbarad

As someone from rural central USA who is likely never going to be able to attend a Burnley game I very much enjoyed seeing the atmosphere and passion from the seats view. Yeah I’m a grumpy 55 year old, but I still enjoy his vlogs from games. Keep it up young man.

Elbarad

Sounding like a Ukrainian air defense missile now.

Elbarad

Great win! Only sorry someone didn’t bring a chicken to let loose this year.

Elbarad

Apart from the fact that we've spent tend of millions paying down debt and ALK have shown no previous interest in the January Window before. It's also poor value window hard to buy or sell players etc. but if we are to luxuriate in fantasy then I would go for a back up for Jay Rod... Well we did bu...

Elbarad

I’m going to raise my hand. I didn’t think it possible but it looks right now anyway that the Russians did a good job of pulling off the withdraw without it turning into a rout. I won’t expect to see long lines of prisoners like I expected. It remains to be seen how much kit was left behind or destr...

Elbarad

Even assuming they manage to cross the river in good order, not likely but anything's possible. What I think this will do is create kind of a reverse feature of what's going on on the Belarus border and Kharkov city fronts, where the Ukrainians will be able to pin Russian forces on the east side of ...

Elbarad

Totally agree. It should get very bloody for Russia if they make a good withdraw. If there is chaos it will be incredibly bad. You would think the worlds 2nd army could pull this off, but not based on recent experience.

Elbarad

Hope Long gets in, might be his last appearance for the club.

Elbarad

I'm not sure how a giant dildo would help the game progress. Would it vibrate like his watch does for goal line decisions? That might extend the game too long if so.

Elbarad

Can't wait to see the highlights!

Elbarad

No it hasn't slipped my mind, like I said I think he's crazy and liable to say stupid things at the drop of a hat. I don't think he'd support the Russian invasion and I believe he would have sent aid to Ukraine. But we'll never know I guess. At least hope we never know because I don't want him to ev...

Elbarad

With all the modern stuff these ships are full off, just flooding can put them out of action for years Yes of course it would. They would have to rewire the entire ship just for starters. Not counting replacing electronic chips with new ones that they can likely no longer acquire. Hopefully we will...

Elbarad

Even if the Russian ships were sank in Sevastopol they'd likely be able to refloat/salvage them. Of course they'd be out of commission a long time. Think what happened to the US fleet in Pearl Harbor. Badly damaging these ships is of course less useful then sinking them, but keeps it them in the har...

UEFA has a worship of badges and qualifications. And UEFA issue the badges as well, so it's in their interest to keep the system going. I do wonder what might happen if a non-league manager took his team right to the PL, and refused to take the badges, and took a different job title to avoid having...

Elbarad

No - but I think it will all be done by then So, as a USA fan, someone who has not grown up watching the PL, what exactly are the coaching badges about? I've heard them mentioned often in the past, just don't know what's involved. And also why the PL would insist on them. I mean if someone wants to...

Elbarad

Am wondering (along with everybody else) on how Russia, with an army low on morale, training and equipment, can successfully pull off a retreat under pressure over a major river with no bridges, without suffering a catastrophic defeat Closest example (successful) that I can think of is Army Group S...

Mountain Monsters

Though to be fair the episode where it looked like they had finally captured a chupacabra in a homemade trap until Bigfoot showed up and broke it free was pretty funny.

Elbarad

Its more to do with the sheer lack of access to the Crimea from mainland Ukraine, most of which is a huge salt marsh Russian artillery can completely dominate the area, and Russia controls the sea HIMARS and stuff could inflict heavy casualties on the Russians absolutely no doubt, but the Ukrainian...

Elbarad

Actually glad to see we're using the squad with 3 games in a week.

Elbarad

I'm pretty sure that Ukraine won't be able to retake Crimea sadly I think it depends on how much territory the Russians give up after they leave Kherson. If they somehow can be pushed so that the Himars are in range of the Kerch bridge I don't know how Russia KEEPS Crimea. If they can reach the bri...

I would not like to be Iran, when the USA flexes.

Biden is still trying to get the nuke deal done with Iran. Which they will never honor. Not sure there will be any flexing other then what’s required to give them a giant stack of cash if it’s anything like the last nuke deal.

Elbarad

Woke up to the nice news about the bridge. After this is over the stories that will be told will be fascinating. Probably only temporary as they can’t reach it regularly but a severe moral hit to those in Crimea for sure.

Elbarad

amazing we always let them score in the last 5 minutes. So frustrating.

Elbarad

It's nothing new. Here's a story from 1995 in Chechnya.

The whole northern front of Kherson appears to be collapsing. Instead of naming all the towns, here a link. https://twitter.com/militarylandnet/status/1577265181679570945?s=61&t=Nij5SdSdNmSsXJEjrIpEeA At least 40 square km have been taken in this region in the last couple of days.

There's no surprise, or should be. Both have said Russia are wrong, but hold back from condemning them. We've done the same, privately you voice your concerns, but publicly you say sod all. Having Russia on the Security Council is a complete joke. They need expelling, nor just from the the council,...

Every single convict put to death is an admission that the punishment is not a deterrent. The execution of the punishment contradicts the argument made in favour of the punishment itself. Were the death penalty truly a deterrent, no person would be put to death, for no person desiring to live would...

This Armenia v Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh disputed region has been simmering/boiling for a few decades now.

Really interesting read and analysis

Thanks for that link.

Elbarad

Amazing news to wake up to!

It's turning into The Great Skedaddle to borrow a headline from the US Civil War.

Supposedly there are around 20,000 troops in Izyum. I'd say it won't be easy to take, but I've never been less sure about anything in this war then I am about that now.

So let's give Phillips OBrian as an example. He's an excellent resource. He and I probably don't agree on much politically, but that's ok. He has every right to post his thoughts and have his own opinions. Even when I disagree with him, he has put good thought into what he says. Fair play to him. I ...
