Mahrez started 51% of games for City in the league and 63% games in the CL

According to town planners and transport engineers train/rail travel requires the most hardwork and intricate details because you need to connect two points like those puzzle games. You can't just lay a track like a road.

These joint bids make no geographical sense

So much overhype around this bandwagon. BRICS: Even as an economic alliance its a motley. Fact that Putin couldn't go to the summit in South Africa over fears of arrest is enough to say about this 'alliance' SCO: Has great potential if it includes a military action like article 5 de-dollarization: It has started to take hits but still a long way to go. Some currencies like UAE dirham are pegged to dollar as well so doesn't matter if they trade in their own currencies. France in Africa: Agreed, China Russia Turkey are all increasing their footprint in Africa so France is retreating a bit Saudi dumping US: They are not. MBS is only showing muscles because Biden tried to prosecute him over Kashoghi murder, if some friendly POTUS like Trump comes, back to normal relations. As I said before Gulf states and West are like couple who divorce, bitch about each other but still keep dating secretly. Turkey buying Russian weapons: Turkey enjoys great geopolitical flexibility due to geography. Nothing new. They can piss off both Russia and West if they want. India siding with Russia: Too much capital and personal connections of Indian elite and regular people in UK US to let go of them. Military they always had good relations with Russia.

Coup successful in Niger. I lost the count of my attempted coups around the world since Biden took office but it was around 16 I think and now we've had in Niger, twice in some African country and the Wagner revolt which makes it around 19.

Serie A players are not deemed high enough ?

I don't think its a 50-50 thing definitely something is up this time (and we can count on natural stupidity for accelerating it) that we should be planning for. I would put it as an orange level threat, below red but above yellow.

Just a poll to see the majority views. Please don't attack other members and refer to the main Climate Change thread for arguments.

Wasn't one time someone called for ripping Australian team ffrom their citizenship for losing the ashes ? lol

If it's good I enjoy it

That's Salah and Drogba

Top 5 five African player in EPL all-time

That is all correct we all know Wagner is under Russian umbrella but invoking NATO article against Russia or Belarus for actions of a private military which doesn't exist on paper technically is tricky. I think Wagner would do hit and run border raids in Poland if any.

Ok I'll be honest. I'm starting to have a crush on Maria Zakharova

Plausible deniability.

Guys I'm moving to another football forum TalkSaudi Al-69. Sadly I won't be posting here anymore. The money is too tempting to let go.

I would say the xenophobia is not just America but Europe as well. I can understand it for countries that historically faced Russian revanchism but some of the racist caricatures of Russians in aftermath of this war 'orcs' and @nudge telling her own experience of her friends being racist towards Russians at least hints me that there is some 'Russophobia' which is a hindrance in Europe-Russia integration.

Obviously the public space is occupied by pro-Ukraine but they are a vocal minority.

It's not just left I'm seeing a lot of American right wingers also supporting Russia because they see Russia as the last standing traditional 'homogeneous' white nation.

Yes. Same way Russia is declaring it a Special Military Operation. Officially declaring a war will have consequences under UN charters afterwards.

U.K is ours only. We will outbreed you all ! Zindabad
