Replying To Saynothing:  "Trump has his good and bad side. He'll not be fooled by Ukraine's leader and he has a point about immigration but the Epstein files could cost him and rightly so."
I think the Epstein files will be so redacted it won't matter much anyway, I think though if there was even a small chance of something in them implicating Trump then the Democrats and Biden's administration would have leaked that or released the file years ago.
My guess is there's high roller on both sides of the house in the firing line so the redactions etc will be well placed, just my opinion of course knowing the nature of politicians and humans in general, protecting your own rear end is motivation number 1.

Replying To updwell:  "Russia has spent billions as well and lost hundreds of thousands men over nearly 4 years of war and barely moved forward. The US has given nothing to Ukraine since Trump came into office again. Who the he'll is Trump and his worshippers to tell Ukraine give up their land to Russians including land the Russians can't take. The question has to be asked why is Trump rolling over for Putin every time he interacts with him, is he afraid of him or has Putin dirt on him."
Were you as worried when Ireland gave up the 6 counties or was it a case of " I'm alright Jack " . I'd say the latter.

I'm really baffled by this so called peace agreement that trump insists the Ukraine must agree to..
Why was it Russia/America who came with the plan and no input from Ukraine??
What has putin got on trump?must be huge..
It is really worrying now about all the friendships America are making with a lot of what I'd call dictators..

Replying To Bon:  "In fairness the Rugby PR department know how to promote these games, and fair play to them. The pyrotechincs before the game looked great and I'm sure added to the atmosphere."
It's needs those gimmicks, because the game is useless. They spend more time assessing foul play and kicking garryowens now, than they spend doing anything that's visually entertaining. Not men against boys versus SA, but definitely men against way bigger way stronger men. One of our poor devil's nearly got send off for putting his head in front of a dumptruck's head, but damningly there was 'mitigation' that he was 'too passive', and went for a HIA instead of being sent off. Some 'game'.

The best team in the world right now won the game. No shame in that. At least the team in White didnt surrender. We lost to them by less than New Zealand and France did this year.

They negotiated in same way mouse negotiates with cobra. With the mouse being the cobra's pet.

All those informers in Belfast had game sown up before the ball was thrown in.

Of course I'm an Irishman that would like a united Ireland when the majority in the North wants that.I thought most Nationalists in the the North like yourself would be anti Empire but your pro-Russian empire but anti- British Empire.
