Did the Russian media provide an opinion on Irish Road Bowls, out of interest?

If they did, i haven't come across it.

Apparently Russia TV is reporting a possible 100,000 North Korean 'volunteers' may be going to Ukraine.

(Though this src claims it is a joke: https://youtu.be/o5hzTaX7chk )

Yeah, i still think they should be offering amnesty for surrendering troops, and paying those who bring Russian equipment with them/defect... But cutting them off and eroding their ability to fight will likely have some playoff in the long term. Again, it remains a question what the long term looks ...

Very negative, one thing is worth noting, why does the Ukrainian government keep announcing the imment retaking of Kherson (whether the whole region of just the city) - one simple explanation i have made is that they are trying to deter collaborators from making it easier to run the region. If the R...

Very pro-Ukraine video. As with all war news, i don't know how accurate the picture presented is

I think the chances are slim. Russia is happy to use troops raised from indigenous groups within their borders, so I'm sure they would be happy to throw Korean troops into the fray. North Korea on the other hand probably doesn't care what is happening in Ukraine, and I'm not sure any amount of Russi...

Yes, i think Hungary is not unified with the rest of the EU, but Poland (which was blocking any actions being taken against the increasingly authoritatian Hungarian government) is leading the EU in calls for sanctions against Russia and aid to Ukraine, so i suspect Hungary is feeling more isolated f...

Further, if they have faced a series of failures, they may attempt to fix them. And b'é in better shape than NATO forces some of whom have never seen combat, least of all against a near-peer force. But importantly, Russia can field impressive hardware - without being able to rely on their troops to ...

It is pretty easy to square a circle when you realise that what people precieve and reality can be different. Russia can think they are a peer to NATO and thus be a threat, while blaming the fact of Ukraine's western assistance for any failures... What they thought they could do and what they have d...

Not wanting to be their next target makes it out fault? Interesting logic.

Russia has a manpower issue, and can't mobilise massively because they don't have the training infrastructure to do so. Ukraine has a training issue but can send volunteers to Poland and other NATO countries to do crash course in specific aetillary systems and other weapons. Russia is paying for eve...

Further a far less pessimist view of the war: https://www.ft.com/content/84d79a0a-98b ... 7e76ca0391

Feckin' typos. Why can't i edit my post?

The Ukraine could he offered terms. And they will make a decision on whether to accept those terms. And the US is going to decide whether they should support Ukraine in whatever decision they make, or to screen them over and prove the Russia was right or invade, encouraging them to get ready for the...

If we accept them it will be a humiliating admission of defeat. If we don't, God help us.

Why would we be able to accept terms? We are not at war.

Just in case you honestly can't math. 30% of abortions is not 30% of people using contraception. No attempt at an answer? Fine. If you can't be arsed to explain your position then I guess the discussion is over. I honestly have no idea what you wanted to get out of this. If you don't want the conve...

Just in case you honestly can't math.

30% of abortions is not 30% of people using contraception.

It is a pity you can't have an genuine discussion. I will repeat myself, nobody chooses abortion as an alternative to contraception. It is expensive, painful and time consuming. Even ignoring the shame laid on by religious groups seeking to force their morality on all. It is a talking point created ...

But that is exactly what you just did :? What did i say? That 30% of abortions are for women who already have children and who have decided that an additional child is not right for their family. These are people who have both thought about the issue in advance and have a good working knowledge of ...
