Oh I can see his point entirely and don't disagree, but it just shows what a fucking shit show our leaders are when they are making stupid ill-informed statements which are easily grasped to inflame matters further Off topic slightly, but seeing the brilliant leadsership from the likes of Zelensky and Klitschko over the past week, could you imagine Johnson & Khan donning flak jackets and bearing arms? I couldn't. |

Recent events by Putin's Russia, and Europe's reactions, might re-kindle the pre-Brexit desire of elements of the European Union to form an integrated European Army, especially now with Germany's 2% of GDP on arms and fears abot NATO not being strong enough.
Its been interesting to see those who warned of an EU army now chiding the EU/Germany for not doing enough on defence. I think the big change that Putin has inadvertently facilitated is a pretty unified Ukraine, unified the EU, pushed Finland & Sweden to consider NATO membership, whilst there are more strategic views being taken, EU to announce for the first time ever EU funding for weapons to be immediately provided for the Ukranian army and EU to close down EU airspace to ALL Russian planes. Germany's decision to double its military budget is a major change. It will further enhance the development of EU military structures (Not an EU army) and also significantly strengthen NATO, downside for us is that it potentially renders the UK more marginal than ever. |

The UK (marginally) and then Government made it's bed so now we all have to sleep in it - for now. Part of me still thinks there is a potential route back in somewhere down the line. Albeit possibly a grovelling and begging type route back. |

Did you see this, thoughts and prayers are with all you in Swindon as you are in grave danger as the front line has apparently moved to Brize Norton!  |

Looks like FIFA are finally suspending Russia and Russian teams from competition. And rightly so.
Yesterday's ridiculous measures were an insult.

That's a relief, I feared he was directly implicated.  |

I notice they're carefully not mentioning Sergei's clear links to the Putin regime, or that baby Oleg is a KGB apparatchik.

Nope, no more, no less than Capt Hindsight. I could however, see Oh Jeremy Corbyn and the communist poster boy of this forum waving them up the beaches as they land in the U.K. |
