    I watched “Ukraine: Enemy in the woods” last night (on BBC and available on IPlayer). It was a hard watch as it gave a small inkling as to what war must be like on the front line. It must be even worse for the Russian soldiers a lot of whom probably don’t want to be there and whose chances of survival are no doubt much lower than the Ukrainians. 

    Yep, Ukrainians are fighting for their existence, what are Russians fighting for?

  2. Can’t stand the daily mail, but they are one of the first to pick up on an AFP story about Lukashenko saying in an interview that the terrorists tried to get into Belarus as their escape route.

    Also ties in with what Belarus ambassador to Russia said the day after the attack.

    I read/saw a report/video last week where a reporter from the UK asked a Russian male citizen about invading Ukraine, There was a couple of barbed comments one of which was..."the English security service is crap" or words to that effect.

    So guessing that the Russian security is a good few rungs lower on the ladder than ours then 👍  

    And this is who all these statements and accusations are for………Russian citizens.

    We have to remember the stuff that Putin, the Kremlin and the propagandists are pumping out are primarily for Russian consumption, they don’t care what the outside world thinks. 

    They need to continually shore up support for the continued invasion and destruction of Ukraine.

    My only surprise so far in Moscow's response is that the suspects weren't killed "whilst escaping" and dressed up in Azov Regiment uniforms.

    They've missed a trick there.

    I mean if you’re into conspiracy theories then the obvious one is, how in a country that cracks down on dissent in such a draconian manner (as we saw with the Navalny memorials), can a group of terrorists spend as long as they did, doing what they did, with absolutely no response from the state. A state that had been warned of terrorist attacks at this kind of event a couple of days before?

    There was no one even there to martyr these guys!

    They even almost made it to the Belorussian border.

    Strange that that wouldn’t be the first question that people would have.

    Oh boy, am I on some list of dangerous individuals now, because I stray from getting all my info from the dubious MSM supply?  Every news outlet, tweeter and commenter is questionable, pro western and pro Russian alike.  Often the truth lies somewhere in between the opposing views, I have found.  It is important to ask questions and in my opinion dangerous not to.

    I´d urge folks to question everything, use discernment and critical thinking and not allow any side to bully them into submission for not automatically joining a choir.

    I am not convinced this atrocity was committed by ISIS, that's why I posted that tweet.  I also am beginning to doubt that the suspects are of clear enough minds to have pulled this off without some serious help.  They seem borderline mentally challenged, severely uneducated at the very least.  Something is very fishy about this whole thing.

    Odd response

    Seriously, posting up unsubstantiated claims from questionable sources without analysis or due warnings is a banning offence on many forums. 

    As unsavory as some of these links are, I’d rather they stay up……..obviously forum owners/moderators have a line they can’t cross and that is their right. 

    It gives us an insight into the people that post them, the places they visit to get their information and why they are  posting it.

    Id urge people to take a good long look at that Twitter feed and think about what these “questions” are aiming to achieve.

    Context is vital!

    Wildsmith

    Ward   Nelson   Cashin   Elder

    Smith   Adams

    Wilson   Sibley   Blackett-Taylor

    Waghorn

     

    Subs: Evans, DRobinson, Thompson, Hourihane, Weston, Washington, Collins

    Agreed, this is where I’d place my money given our injury crisis, but I get the feeling Warne will find a way to keep the current formation, I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like:

                          Wildsmith

              Nelson   Cashin    Elder

    Ward      Adams     Hourihane    Sibley

               Wash.   Waghorn  CBT

  8. Fridays line up is going to be interesting.

    Assuming NML is out then for me, 

                       Wildsmith 

    Ward     Nelson     Cashin     Elder

                   Smith     Adams 

                           Sibley

            Wilson Waghorn   CBT

     Not great but should be enough to beat a number of teams in this division. 

    That said, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Warne go 3 at the back again (not sure who’d fill that 3rd CB berth, maybe Elder shoehorned in) and include Hourihane.
