The guy "invades" de facto Russian soil while Russia is already at war with another European nation and has a brain fart afterwards while wondering if he's going to be arrested or shot or kidnapped or poisoned with Novachok by the Russians or what; and some keyboard warrior has a go at him on the Internet for mistakenly saying "Poland".
They've no way though of imposing a 'selective' ban on Russian artists and athletes though, it simply won't work. Many of the sportspeople across all sports and cultural artists etc that have already been banned may well be anti-Putin, but there's really no good way of separating them out.
Would all land be suitable for grain growth?
I find it very childish and immature to accuse me of swallowing propaganda or pushing their case.
I think Putin is a barbarian and i wish him gone one way or another, but until when that moment comes, he's a reality that should be dealt with with caution.
see this is exactly why people like you should not be in charge running a country.
But Fine, i'll bite:
You're turning your backyard into a zoo and your neighbour is spooked by lions
You're sheltering 500 cats into your backyard and your neighbour is allergic to cats
the idea is that whatever you're doing in your backyard is affecting your neighbour.
my personal opinion, is that the russian concern goes far beyond a military threat from a neighbouring country
the russians cannot tolerate a western influenced prosperous democracy so close to moscow that they're going to risk large exodus into it from their already declining population as well as risking certain groups getting ideas replicating the 'successful Ukrainian model' and starting looking to secede from the multi ethnic Russian federation.
It is very important to understand the russian concern and point of view before laying down judgments.
If you look into Russia's not so far history,
Russia was rejected a NATO membership when they showed willingness to join
Russia was rejected EU membership when they showed interest in joining
we made sure to let them know that they're rejects. leading us to our current geopolitical position and the fight over Ukraine.
I would not be shocked to discover that many Russians in Russia believe her level of bullshít. Their 'parliament' rushed through a law sentencing their own citizens to fifteen years in a Russian prison for suggesting otherwise.
That footage was indeed powerful. Personally when I saw the video and later the image of the family wiped out by Russian shelling I had a similar reaction.
The problem of course is that for Ukraine and Ukrainians the risk versus reward is fairly clearly in favour of getting NATO and the wider world militarily involved: their country's infrastructure is being eroded day by day and soon enough even if Russia fully withdraws fully they're looking at years of rebuilding to just try and get back to where they were.
However for just about every other nation on the planet the risk versus reward is much starker: they're being asked to choose courses of action which will put their military, their civilians, their territories directly in the firing line of a nuclear superpower. And this is ignoring the severe economic consequences which would inevitably follow.
I don't envy the people charged with making these decisions that's for sure.
Firstly, in this comparison, the MMA has an obvious anger problem and his course of action remains incorrect and illegal. He should contact the local authority in that situation.
Secondly, it is a rockery that was put in, but he regards it as odious trash due to his being allergic to some of the things planted within. He's entitled to his opinion and to ask his neighbour to plant something else, but he has little legal recourse if rebuffed other than further negotiation, and violence remains out of the question as a reasonable resolution.
Back to the actual situation, Russia must get its house in order before it can be a sound political, economic and security partner of Ukraine. Russia's leadership must go. Especially the man who has essentially made himself leader for life.
He has some military training, so what's the problem?
Dumping odorous trash in your own backyard
Not a good analogy for a country doing things its larger neighbour doesn't like for its own selfish and/or irrational reasons...
Sure, but given how Belarus and Russia was affected by that disaster and in the lifetimes of millions I seriously doubt they're going to play silly buggers with it.
The Uk is keen to know if it works, I'd imagaine, as it looks like it has never been fired in combat in 25 years. :-)
The problem is what damage will occur while it's disconnected ...
Of course it can be restored. The article didn't claim anything like that.
This one is some ghoul

Expect someone to come along and call it Photoshopped
Lol what a terrible analogy, equating Ukraine considering joining NATO or the EU with dumping trash is either you not understanding how analogies work or just swallowing putins propaganda, my bets on the latter.
Whatever you do, do not take a hammer to it.
lol
it rains a lot here
Russia will soon be unable to pay its debts, according to a leading credit ratings agency.
Fitch Ratings downgraded its view of the country's government debt, warning a default is "imminent".
i don't think the comparison is even remotely valid.
If i'm to fix it for you it'll be like the following:
You live next to a MMA fighter
and you keep dumping odorous trash in your own backyard leading mr MMA fighter getting enraged.
after many warnings, The MMA fighter comes over and gives you an ultimatum. you do nothing.
He breaks in and wrecks the place.
Great analysis, I watched a great vid earlier about how reliant they are on trains internally for logistics that explains why their logistics fell apart once they entered Ukraine
BREAKING:
Russia has disconnected the nuclear plant from the power grid leaving no way to restore it.
Chernobyl's Nuclear Plant Has Been Disconnected From Power Leaving Risk Of Radioactive Substances In Air
That is not the only alternative - another being to put non-NATO boots on the ground with aircover.
Makes me think of that episode of the Young Ones where a big unexploded bomb crashed down into the kitchen. I used to think of that as a ridiculous premise to setup some madcap comedy. Not so much, these days.
Dept of Agriculture has recommended that farmers grow more grain
Ireland’s agriculture minister Charlie McConalogue told RTE that farmers, many dairy and beef producers, should consider growing grain this year. He said the country imports 60% of its grain.
Why would there be?, I felt that the Polish integrated very well here back in the day, I dont see why the Ukranians would be any different. Any east europeans in general I've worked with seem to integrate well.
Imagine the tip just parting your hair as it comes to a stop. I'd redecorate around it and keep it there for posterity.
too wet. Watched Clarkson’s Farm last year and saw how rain ruins the crop.
