Microsoft is no longer selling products to Russia. With any luck their nuclear warheads will be running Windows 10. :)
Fuck that, let them rollback to Vista - we'll all be dead and gone before anything finally loads!!

Regarding the nuclear plant being taken, I reckon it's a move to set up a military base there. Nobody in their right mind is going to bomb a military base in a nuclear plant that close to the European mainland/UK. If Ukraine goes under, then Georgia and Moldova will follow soon after I think, both non-NATO. Georgia borders onto Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former USSR and non NATO too. No reason for NATO to intervene.

It reeks of a dying man trying to implement a legacy of him reuniting the USSR, wanting Leningrad/St Petersburg/Putingrad. I just hope someone in his staff has the balls of a Claus Von Stauffenberg or Georg Elser to try put a stop to it soon.....but succeed.

Ireland isn't a NATO member either, but we won't be invaded - myself and Trader Pat are keeping watch with a pool cue and a broken golf club, 40 cans of beer, a litre of Jameson, a bag of weed, and 200 smokes each (24 hour rations are tough!)

We got this :shock: :x :evil:

I think an F1 team terminating the contract of a Russian driver is going a bit far, in that it's now individual sports people rather than teams being targeted. The way things are going men will soon be rejecting the advances of beautiful women just because they're Russian!

So, Putin has no fear of women. He's sitting around a table with 20 women and doesn't need a 20-metre gap!

Its a bit more than that. His old man has close ties to Putin and his company is the main sponsor of the Haas team.

I think its a good thing. Not because of the politics of it but because Mazepin isn't a great driver and is only in F1 because of Daddy's billions, just like Stroll at Aston Martin.

As for rejecting the advances of Russian women? Never! I'm still in love a girl from Siberia I briefly dated over 20 years ago :D

Sanctions aside, no doubt that cancel culture will reach new peaks now with Russia. The more harm they inflict on Ukraine, the more harm comes back to haunt them, potentially with a compounding effect for years to come.

Mazepin, alledgedly, attended a post-invasion meeting with Putin. And his son is only at Haas becuase of his father's money. So it's perfectly legitmate to kick him out and look for a more wholesome driver with no dodgy connections. Oh......bugger!

Russia's out of the Eurovision song contest. If that doesn't make the troops withdraw I don't know what will. :lol:

Russian troops have taken control of a psychiatric hospital. They're now preparing it for Putin. :)

Just as well they don't have boxing in the Paralympics, the judges would be biased.
