I think a partitioned Ukraine is inevitable, its just how long we take to get there. You make think that's a defeatist view, but let's not forget Russia annexed the Crimea in 2014 but held the World Cup in 2018 without a whimper of protest. You seem to think some sort of settlement in Ukraine will lead to Putin invading somewhere else, personally I can't see him taking on a NATO country, because even if he ends up with the Dombas the Crimea and Odessa make no mistake this has been a humiliation for him and Russia. Best outcome imo is negotiate a settlement, stop the war and stop buying his fucking oil.

Nobody is saying this, you're better than this

I've tried to avoid my main bugbear about this war, which is everything the US does, so by proxy the rest of the west, is about oil gas and other commodities. It's ludicrous to be advocating possible nuclear war when we ate funding arussia by buying its fuel
-
I don't disagree
-
Again I'm not trying to justify Putins position here but you can understand why he might have some paranoia about NATO intentions
-
I would point you back to the Guardian article you quoted. You have to somehow get to a negotiated settlement. I don't understand how you can think Putin is an insane psychopath bully obsessed with the Russian Empire, and be so confident he won't go nuclear if the west attack him
-
I want to know what you think this looks like or how it's achieved, because I can't see anyway it can happen without millions of people dying
-
Well I think the red line already exists and that is attacking a NATO country. We aren't there yet and if stopping us getting to WW3 and/or MAD then yes I think we should be willing to sit down and allow him some wins in Ukraine, as disgusting a situation as I readily admit that is
-
My overwhelming desire is for the war and the killing and the death to stop. Escalating the situation is the worst outcome. Unfortunately neither side appear to want this yet I hope Putin drops dead today to be frank, but it wouldn't guarantee what followed would be any better There are no good solutions, but at some point there has to be a negotiated peace and I would like to get there with as little death as possible
-
That's exactly my stance, unfortunately I think the West or specifically the US/UK is too invested to take the realpolitik option. The rest of Europe maybe able to take the lead I hope so. I hesitated to post this pic, but I think ghere is some truth to it

Good on you Rents, hope you keep it up
-
I've said this before as well but his palindromic nature beguiled me
-
The war drums are beating. The US are talking about regime change. The UK are saying you can use UK weapons to attack Russian targets It's Putins fault but the West is leaving him nowhere to go.

So I've been getting my funk on lately and came across this James Brown gig I went to at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 85. He was 50 odd so it's obviously not peak JB, but it stands up pretty well. And his band were tight! https://youtu.be/a01p46PmoyE

I'm surrounded by Palace fans at work, really hope we trash these cunts tonight

Both regular starters who people want to bin off but are worth a place in the squad. There you go, same breath and relatively sane
-
Like ASM he is good enough to be in the 25 for a couple of years even if his first team starts get less and less Thankfully we can start thinking of building a squad not just a first team

He annoys me as much as anyone but he is undeniably very talented, he's been playing for a shit manager with average players and he's coming back from injury. Madness to talk of getting rid of him, let's see how he does with a preseason with a good manager, with some better players around him, with nobody in the team a garuanteed starter

Just tried to explain Tommy to my (grown up) kids (soft southern fannies) It didn't really go down well as they though I was taking the piss, but the man was a legend
