  1. Watched the highlights of the Wales-Czech match @cwmbrancity, your youth set up looked tidy going forward but a little sloppy in defence, not surprising really, young players need to learn a bit more discipline. Still, you have to feel good about the future of Welsh football. You just need to increase the amount of sister-in-law shaggers in the side and you'll be gold.

    Let's hope that Canada can put on another good performance in our final group match, if we win I think we are in Pot 3, which may offer a slight advantage in the draw over being in Pot 4.

    maybe if it was known knowledge that azov is full of actual nazis

    Everyone knows azov is full of nazis. Apparently you are the only one who can't recognize that the Azov battalion and neo-Nazis in Ukraine make up an insignificant percentage of both Ukrainian military forces and the Ukrainian population.

    instead people in this thread say every evidence is russian propaganda.

    The russian propaganda angle comes form saying that the Azov battalion has done all these horrific thing, and using that as a justification for furthering the war. Some of the material you have posted has already been clearly debunked, some of it is from before the war, and some of it the accuracy can not be determined one way or the other. Either way, you have fallen for the "fog of war", and spreading the disinformation and misinformation only further spreads that.

    So moving forward - any material that is not directly relevant to the current Russian invasion of Ukraine will be removed. Material that happened before this violation of Ukrainian sovereignty will be included in that.

    i don't see the point in releasing countless variations of the same tune, apart from the fact that it's a much safer and easier way to pay the bills than exploring new territory. it's the same song structure, the same modal jams over and over and over. so adventurous, much wow. all the lush reverbs in the world can't hide that fact. colundi my ass lol

    Anybody got a translation of the symbols (Chinese? Words) for 7? Is it “Cups”?

    I don't think it's cups, but I think I know where Aleksi got most of the inspiration for his pictograms in the bottom right of the album covers

    for sure. that really does seem to be the best way for people to feel their voice is heard when it comes to politics. I should do the same before the next election comes about, learn more about the local candidates instead of voting blindly.

    This is the way to make your voice heard as much as possible.

    this is really disingenuous also, what im saying roughly aligns with the view of the largest communist party in the world. and cpusa lol

    https://www.cpusa.org/article/the-communist-partys-position-on-russias-war-in-ukraine/

    The cpusa position contains the same internal logical fallacies as your position, so hardly a surprise that your views align (including blaming the US for everything - with accusations of installing Poroshenko (a notoriously pro-Russia inidividual) in 2014). In order to stop the war that Russia started, "Again, the U.S. must change course."

    "principled leftism" isn't when you support a right wing dictatorship that punishes its own citizens by cutting off their water supply in an act of attempted genocide when they vote to secede, over the country they voted to be a part of which liberated them by returning their water supply back to functioning

    That was a different Ukraine government.

    "principled leftism" isn't when you ignore how ukraine has ignored the minsk agreements for almost a decade, perpetrating violence against its own citizens to the point where putin decides, rightly or wrongly, to militarily invade in defense of the people of donetsk and luhansk

    All sides ignored the minks agreements, which were flawed from the get go both in theory and in practice. Putin used "the defense of the people of donetsk and luhansk" as cover, much the same as they tried to use the even flimsier "de-nazification" cover for this particular invasion.

    the only "principled leftist" position is to side with the citizens which right now means, for crimea and donbas regions, insisting that zelensky sign a peace treaty with putin and end the war immediately, meeting putin's demands.

    Zelensky won the 2019 election with 73% of the vote, and while his popularity did decrease (significantly), the citizens of Ukraine have clearly expressed their preference through supporting him during the war:

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/596806-russian-invasion-transforms-zelensky

    So if you want to side with the citizens, you would not surrender.

    ukraine keeps trying to fight knowing they will simply lose and result in much more death? 

    Why do you think they will simply lose? Would you have said the same (i.e. surrender) to the NVA during the Vietnamese War?

    the existential threat of the planet at the moment is ongoing nato encirclement of russia and refusing past promises to the soviets to not move an inch east, and refusing to let russia into nato.

    this may be the dumbest thing you've ever written on here, and that's saying a lot considering some of the things you've written, which will not be brought up again by me.

    Essentially, at this point, I'm going to ask you to ease up on presenting "an alternative viewpoint" from the "lamestream media". I think we have been very reasonable in allowing you to present alternative points of view, but the above shit is just pure garbage. The biggest existential threat that isn't climate change is Russia moving aggressively through military force to expand its borders. You'll notice that NATO didn't have to invade anyone to bring people into the fold.

    I think I've stood up for not censoring you with an honest effort. But if you continue along this vein, you will be suspended for the duration of the war.

    The "proof" for the lack of EU 5th gen hardware

    Even the f-35 is considered 4th gen I think? But I get your point now, and I did miss it earlier. 
    yes obviously right now as in this year they are going to have buy off the shelf, but I think they could ramp up production quite quickly if they wanted to, being more uhhh forceful? partners is NATO. 
    Which, even if they were, may not deter a nuclear state from invading.

    he proof is the fact that Germany is now panic-buying F-35s. The Eurofighter program is also a symptom of this, because the platform is not multi-role, but rather an air superiority design

    I don't see that as proof at all. The two fighter planes serve very different roles. You can't just have an air force made up of F-35s.

    Germany and France are capable to produce first rate military equipment, but the over-reliance on US protection (because of lobbying that ensured markets for their programs), this capability is on the back foot, where the main production is more focused on civilian stuff, and going back to increased military production would mean re-structuring mass production to accommodate it,

    Obviously, but I don't think the restructuring is going to be as significant as one might expect. Indeed, Germany, France, and Spain are already developing a next gen fighter. I don't disagree that there has been an over-reliance on the US, but again, I fail to see how it is a significant issue when NATO is doing what it was designed to do.

    I'm sure sharper military minds (mine is not) will be able to explain it better, but I see the Trump recession into isolationism as a temporary bump in the US-EU relationship. Moving forward, the two blocs will deepen economic and military ties.

  11. I think it's alright we had a loss (first one in the campaign) - some adversity is always good.

    I wouldn't have thought Neco would be that big a loss for your defense? You have quite a strong defensive core don't you with Amapadu, Rodon, Davies, and even Roberts is an adequate RB.

    It's a bit mad you're relying on AR and the Welsh Jesus to run your midfield - they're both 30+ and expected to run miles. The rest of your midfield is a bit shit - although Levitt shows promise but he's still just a young lad. Best to just bypass and boot it long for James and Bale to chase. James can't finish for shit mind, but he should at least win a fair few free kicks or be able to square it to Bale. Hopefully Bale manages to keep in shape between golf rounds, lord knows he's not playing an club football any time soon.

    I just want the Scots to go through because I love the banter.

  12. Motherfucker. Was always going to be a tough match in Costa Rica, going down to 10 men so early in the match didn't help at all. The second half Canada totally dominated Costa Rica (even with some comical, Maguire-esque levels of defending on our part), but we just couldn't find the back of the net. Hit the woodwork 4 times I think? Honduras even helped us out by getting a draw.

    Oh well, hopefully we clinch on Sunday against Jamaica. We're at home.

    @cwmbrancity congrats on your win - one more to qualify right?

    that wouldn't be difficult.. i mean.. has there ever ben any kind of banging set at lollapalooza? 

    97 had Orbital, Prodigy and the Orb (not banging but probably a trip) so I’m guessing they were good shows. 
    In 94 DJ Hurricane was playing with the beastie boys and he had about 20 minutes or so at the start and ripped it up. 
    But yeah you’re right, probably not much in the way of banging sets lol
