    I mean, there's no way it was going to be allowed to fail. It SHOULD, but it won't.

    Clubs that suffer insolvency or financial irregularities get dumped out of their league, but a club that got to where it is by dint of dirty russian money gets a bailout. Seriously, **** Chelsea.

    I think you're being a bit overly kind there.

    I wish I could dismiss this argument and say we are doing enough but I worry that if we keep saying what we won't do, Putin will calculate that we won't do much whatever he does so he might as well do it.

    They're doing an awesome job pretty much on their own.

    It seems like the Russians, though well equipped, are poorly trained, poorly organised, not motivated and have low moral. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, are very determined.

    Meanwhile in Belarus, maybe an attempted military coup ? Or false flag operation to get BLR in the war with Ukraine ?

    Are they really?
    Very few optics (except tiktok battalion), looks like next to nothing in night or thermal vision, unencrypted radios, probably lack of GPS (glonass) devices (yet to see even one captured) and so.

    Fair enough, he makes fun gun video's featuring weapons not often seen on the usual Demo Range, Kentucky Ballistics etc. channels
    He's been doing run downs on the captured / abandoned weapons that are cropping up on line, OK so he's no Ian McCollum and you have to take it with a pinch of salt but it's interesting stuff.


    I'll give that a listen for sure

    They've been using it elsewhere, don't seem to care that apart from /insert any moral and thinking person's reason/ they're illegal.

    Very powerful speech, brought a tear to my eye as Arnold has been a hero of mine scince he came on to the bodybuilding scene and inspired me to start lifting weights as a teenager.
