Mr Waldo Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 For anyone interested in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this YouTube channel looks full-geek informed. Not sure about the accuracy of the details, in particular, the individual named units, but, overall, it looks sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just picture that in the gym - you trying to strike up a conversation with the person on the machine next to you about the fake news media and their anti-Russian agenda, as everyone slowly moves further and further away from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit off topic but I honestly have no idea how I would have reacted if I was stuck on a plane with these folk... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10726463/Plane-passengers-flight-sing-Christian-songs.html Apols for the off topic slant! To go back (nearly) on topic, Wimbledon has banned players from Russia and Belarus this year. I heard some folk on the radio criticising that decision. I don't buy that. If it is felt appropriate to subject the entire population of the Russian Federation - the everyday bloke, woman and kid in the street - to punitive social and economic sanctions, it simply cannot be right that the "famous and powerful" are permitted to continue as if nothing has happened. I heard it said that sportspeople have no way to change Putin's mindset, so they should be left alone. Well neither does your average Russian. They are hit by sanctions. Of course, the tennis decision opens up boundless opportunities for the Forum's favourite pastime - "whataboutery". In my view the Wimbledon decision is quite correct. Let other sporting and other bodies take decisions as they may, and to justify those decisions. Any celebrations by Russia of any success, anywhere, would give me the boak. The idea that a Russian player's victory at any event, let alone the world's foremost tennis event, wouldn’t be lauded from the rooftops in Russia is ridiculous. No. Enough. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just googled that and seems Quayle didnt say that, could be it was a joke reported as fact at the time. Was well reported at the time too.
