LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They are already massive winners in all of this.
Absolutely this.
Yup.
Then again, there's a bit of a difference in terms of who is behind it and where it is.
Can you imagine if this was happening in Britain? Your James Delingpole, Laurence Fox and James Melville characters would be arguing that you can’t force them to wield a weapon and fight and we could easily learn to live under Putin.
Civilian injuries and casualties are propably a lot worse than the official Ukrainian numbers too.
I put this in a spoiler, due to the nature of the picture in tweet (seems stupid with "spoiler" but then people are warned there is blood in picture so better this way):
The sad thing is that Ukrainian people have not been a hostile country (at least from my memory) and the wars they are involved were only to defend their own territory.
Putin has instilled separatists in the last 8 years, kept crippling their economy and now this..
OSINT believe a Russian engineer battalion wiped out in Kherson.
Poland have said they will not play their World Cup playoff against Russia and are in discussion with other football federation to do the same. That will throw the World Cup into chaos.
I know it's war-related and your intentions will most likely be absolutely positive, but who gives a flying feck about that shitty world cup at the moment
no offense meant, hope none is taken either
You can really tell a lot about someone by how they react to a democracy being annihilated.
They did call for outsiders to come to ukraine and fight beside them, some will propably do that, though it will not help much. And the president of Ukraine says weapons and equipment is on the way to Ukraine, so some nations are now starting to help more at least.
Which is all rather funny in terms of all the stuff about actually having the World Cup in Qatar.
Wonder what FIFA will do, forcing them to throw out Russia won't be easy
Maybe Putin has gone full Hitler and taken over military strategy himself.
Be interesting to see FIFA's response. Giving Russia a bye if Poland refuse to play would presumably see a huge chunk of qualified nations drop out. This would not be insignificant, particularly after Russia hosted in 2018/really cozied up with FIFA.
She was on Newsnight last night in the UK. This isn’t some batshit Republican. This is someone very reluctantly taking up arms because it is a last resort.
Just heard it on Talksport, they said Poland should not have been put in this situation. FIFA should have been making the decision.
I’m sure that this has already been answered but it’s because Russia are one of the ‘big 5’ founding members of NATO
As Tom Peck and Barney Ronay wrote in their articles yesterday, unfortunately it is entirely predictable that footballers and individual clubs will have to be the ones to make the call as the blazerati won’t.
OSINT military advisers claim Russia lost a bridge building company and considering the state of the losses it could be a whole engineering battalion.
You mean the UN!
I think that might have something to do with rape by opposition forces. Not that I'm saying that men can't get raped, but it's a historical weapon of invading forces to rape the woman populous and impregnate them.
I meant setting foot out there in Ukrane, as just sending weapons and equipment whilst it helps is not decisive. And with time passing by and Russia advancing most of those supplies most likely will be captured.
Time to impose a no fly zone over Kyiv/western Ukraine. Putin isn’t blowing up the world just because he can’t have air superiority over a foreign country ffs.
you sure you want to test him?
Wars have literally been fought by Christian armies
Who guards it
Ukrainian Air Force is STILL ACTIVE!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
A good living Christian would prefer peace.
Appalling if so. One of the most inspiring things we've seen thus far has been the street protests in Russia. If people are deterred from these sort of acts by decisions like this it will be another casualty of this war.
I wonder if reinstating rule of fear over their own populous was part of the Kremlin's decision making behind this invasion.
