Why is the sports world in general such capitulating weasels?

In the case of FIFA/UEFA, it's corruption. It's as simple as that.

It's not suggesting they're the same, just that they're using tractors for recovery.

Do the Russian population know what is going on at all? I assume info is being tightly controlled there.

They know.

Easy pickings for the drones and NLAW if they planned some little ambushes.

Fifa has ordered Russia to complete their upcoming matches without their flag, anthem and as the Football Union of Russia in neutral territory, following the invasion of Ukraine.

Wow just ******* wow.

FIFA have now lost the plot. Maybe they really are lizard men.

Interesting to that Russia is the ONLY one talking nukes. This is fear talking right there.

As always it's Money over Morals - greed is more important to these organisations and, as hypocritical of me as this is, I'd quite like to see some cancel culture being dropped on them by having their multi-million dollar sponsors pull out of FIFA etc over this.

SPG · 27 Feb 2022 at 20:23

That would be lovely.

Broken Hope · 27 Feb 2022 at 20:23

Not that I want them to do it, but Russia were building forces on their border for months, almost 200,000 soldiers.

Why haven’t they sent in a larger attack?

Yes they are foreseeing this as the downfall of Russia. It will happen after this. The world has had enough of them now. The Russian people can change the regime.

If this is true it's bad for Ukraine:

But then you would think if it was true we would have seen a lot more evidence of Ukrainian losses, obviously they will have lost units but if they were losing tanks faster than Russia we should have seen more pictures or something.

It is fog of war.

If Ukrainian forces are being smashed, they won't report it, as it's bad for morale. If their troops are surrounded and captured they won't be talking to anyone but Russian interrogators. The Russians are most unlikely to release information while operations are active- as that is useful intelligence for their enemy.

Look back to the recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan for how a military operation can be conducted with close to total control of information.

I don't want the Russians to win, but I'm realistic enough to know they might have strategic objectives they can achieve.

Having said all that, I just don't see where they go when this ends.

how do you count grenades in the losses? if you throw one it counts as lost?

More likely RPGs perhaps?
