10 days of not worrying about the clarets, the UK or this bloody, pointless war was much needed If I had a lot of money, I don't think I'd have come back to be honest We all agree it’s pointless. Most analysts are coming to conclusions that Russia has lost around 30% of the force that invaded, no r...

On the site that logs confirmed losses, it’s up to 2850 and 498 tanks. Now I know he has a big backlog of photo and videos to go through so it difficult to know if losses have slowed or not as he is adding about the same each day but probably from the backlog. https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/a...

In other news, just bumped into Mr Bardsley at the petrol station. Had a quick chat, nice chap was ready to stop and have chin wag with a complete stranger.
Said the lads are positive and really want to fight to get out of it.

Well they’ve spotted it… and Ukraine as we know has Kamikaze drones in the area as of yesterday, thanks to the US; so I should imagine some counter move is in the planning. I think the ones that have arrived are the 300 type, these are small drones with a limited range. I think around 4 km. they wi...

Sorry, thank you for posting it, I was just confirming that’s the movements I was referring to. It was meant as a positive!!

I find it very interesting that they are mentioning the UK at all with this I would have expected them to mention the CIA etc not us.

In the wider world, most people would fear the UK special forces above all others. And to be fair I think they earned that accolade.

Reports of Russia using chemical weapons in Mariapol.
It’s been reported they will take the city tomorrow, so they will be able to cremate the bodies and deny it even happened and the west will have no proof.

That’s a completely inaccurate statement and if you’d been following any of the finance related threads you might know why

Perhaps you can link the relevant part. It was kind of how I understood it. Feel free to re-educate me.

I think that’s pretty harsh. What if Garlick was willing to spend but Dyche reluctant to pull the trigger on certain players?

Thanks for the great thread, I look here before anywhere else. I've had a google and can't find the answer, do we know how much the equipment losses to date will have cost Russia (in ££££'s) just to get an idea of how long it will take them to afford to get their crap together again? They must be h...

Can you blame people for wanting a change from watching league Two standard football with 14 wins from the past 68 games?

Looks like an old sniper rifle, but care must be taken. A sniper trained with old kit may be so comfortable with the weapon he has used hunting all his life than a modern weapon. It could be too easy to make assumptions about supply based on individuals. Never been in the Army but did years of shoo...

For those who don’t want to click links, here are today’s estimated losses.
Even if these are inflated, it’s still not going well for Russia.

It’s looking like it’s going to be fairly quiet for a few days whilst the Russians regroup and try to re-arm. Now it’s difficult to read between the lines of all the stuff that’s written. If we try to go half way between reports, Russia has limited resources to deploy. I expect in a few days they (R...

Hi Lowbank, That's perfectly understandable. Whilst I doubt Putin would order his troops to take Johnson out - although one does wonder all the same - there are no guarantees all Russian troops have left Kiev. They are committing the worst possible crimes so assassinating a politician might seem qu...

It would cause Europe to go into recession that might take 5-10 years to get out off.
