So what else do you want United to do?
Wouldn't Grozny be a better example, given it's more recent and also involved Russia?
It is supporters not players.
My mistake
I apologize mate. Should no have used a peoples name like that. I meant only about the nut jobs that swered loyalty to the dictator.
Apology again as I meant no disrespect to you or any peace loving people.

I’m not really wanting to derail this thread, but there’s an important distinction to be made with gestures that support a particular people and cause – and criticises their oppressors – and making an empty gesture that absolutely no-one would disagree with.
You could play what United did on Russian TV and nobody would really care.
Not saying United disgraced themselves, just disappointed they weren’t more pointed with their gesture, but again this probably reflects the make-up of our squad, which has no players from Eastern Europe, bar Matic.
It made no sense whatsoever to start this. Putin miscalculated everything and people are already dying. Feb 24 was Doomsday for Russian economy. The day their CB is sanctioned, it is welcome to hell.
This is probably the future warfare along with Cyber security hacks.
Troops mean little when you can crush a country with sanctions.
Could United fans not bring Ukraine flags in to display.
City's owners meanwhile bombing the shit out of starving Yemeni kids.
The future warfare is AI drones and dog type bots with machine guns.
This just highlights how a lot of people view statehood and the responsibility of being a citizen of a given country in the present. People are more than happy to moan about politicians from the comfort of their homes, but less interested putting their lives on the line to protect their country, family, and way of life.
You’re just picking for no reason in my opinion. United have led the way and others have now done similar things.
T-shirts or a sign, who cares, it’s about unity
Their shirts should say "no war but Yemen's ok".
I am not Chechen, and I took no offence, as you meant none, I know. We all know that all nations are equal. It is all about good and bad persons. I have just come across a video about volunteers from all over the Europe ready to join Ukranian army. There were Chechens amoung those as well. We are all united regardless of our nationality, race and religion. It is good vs evil, and this time around, it is all clear for all of us, no grey areas. Feck aggressors, feck war, feck instigators and traitors. Glory to people who are defending their land and to those who are helping them.
A lot of people view militarism and nationalism as a kind of disease, too, which is accurate in my opinion. The US and certain other countries (Russia) are definitely more militant than most.
Ok, this guy is obviously an idiot who is inventing nonsense to remain relevant on twitter.
Is there somewhat detailed documentary on how this war unfolded? Wasnt paying much attention back then. Maybe @Carolina Red knows..
Yes, these are likely the same folks who would run away when invaded, while the brave ones fight to save the country.
US coalition lost 173 soldiers till they captured Baghdad and overthrow Sadam.
Russia has probably lost 10 times more in the first 3 days.
Maybe, but they are also the same who would try to avoid war to begin with while the brave ones revel in it (too simplistic either way, isn't it?).
Incomparable. It was Iraq vs US led coalition. Now it is Russia on Ukranian soil against Ukraine supported by NATO. Huge difference.
Unbelievable. In 2022.
No matter how many times I say it, I feel it's not good enough. feck Putin
That wouldn't really work in the present context given that Putin planned on invading either way, irrespective of whether random individuals were anti-war. This is an existential struggle to save a country.
I thought it was the squad too!
The tweet surely makes it sound that way
Commodity stocks I believe. Oil, gas, wheat etc. I heard recently that Ukraine and Russia produce a massive amount of wheat so the price is expected to go up.
They should be masking those windowsLook how many lights are still on in apartments too. Just mental
Insanity on MSNBC now - Hotels in Moscow are apparently contacting their guests to try to get them to pay now before the SWIFT removal kicks in.
He seems to be one of those that is most desperate to break any negative news regardless of accuracy. Unfollowed him on Twitter yesterday.
I checked his profile and he's a cybersecurity guy in the US attempting to cosplay an international politics expert.
Would love to see those dumb fecks fight against a properly trained and equipped elite unit. They’d run like little girls, ‘tough boys’.
Finally.
