There's no such thing as European NATO going it alone, the whole point of NATO is one in all in, if that breaks Putin has already won. On top of that NATO has an overwhelming advantage in conventional warfare, Russia would immediately have only one retaliatory option

I don't know if there is anyone who would be able to stop him, and lets be honest once a nuke goes off all bets are off. Either we respond in kind and it all goes off, or we don't and there's nothing to stop him

Personally I think the West should be doing everything we can to avoid nuclear war, and a desperate Putin with his finger on the nuclear button terrifies me. I've got no good answers by the way, I don't think there are any

Who is likely to wield the icepick, and who do you think follows him into power?

I dont think he is going to win, but i dont see how he accepts losing What does a Putin loss look like?

My worry, well one of many, is that sanctions that make the populace poorer usually make autocrats/dictators stronger. It makes it easier to portray the West as the enemy. The only end I can see to this is Putin winning, or being able to claim a win, or an escalation which would seem to lead to nuclear war. Callous aa it sounds, Ukraine being overrun quickly and a puppet regine being installed would have lead to the least death, and the earliest "peace" At the minute with the West rushing to arm Ukraine it looks like at best its going to be a long drawn out struggle with untold thousands dead The only people benefitting from this war at the moment are the arms manufacturers and the oil/gas producers. Same as it ever was

So there's loads less testing going on, so cases probably being undercounted. Shall we check the official figures... seems like not good news

Thinks to self, doesn't the cricket start today. ...........oh dear

Maths, Bitch!

New centrre half,(Botman looking nailed on) up and coming midfielder and a new number 9 and 10. Wilson is made of paper and much as i like Wood he ain't no prolific goalscorer

Jesus Christ Rents Eastenders wouldnt script the shit your having to live through at the moment. Hope you can keep it together and things turn for you soon

The big benefit of Bielsa leaving is I can go back to completely hating Dity Leeds

This article seems to be saying the engines are sealed for the season. Hope I'm wrong https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/yamaha-shares-quartararos-motogp-engine-frustration/7956333/ As per MotoGP's technical regulations, all manufacturers not running with concessions will have their engines homologated by the FIM and sealed for the first round of the season. As a result, engine development will be frozen for the entirety of the campaign. With MotoGP's final pre-season test taking place this weekend, Yamaha would only be able to bring an updated engine to Qatar prior to its homologation, and Quartararo has ruled out running anything he hasn't been able to test.

Urgh. Yamaha looking horribly off the pace in the MotoGP. Hope I'm wrong because there is no engine development this season

She's been dead for weeks

I must admit it's been more of a struggle to keep the cognitive dissonance quiet over the last week. Still just about managing to push it down deep
