Re: Mathieu Raynal Gooooone.

Somehow fitting that his last 6N game was his absolutely shambolic display in the Wales-Italy match. That said, the calibre of referees replacing him (like Piardi) have managed to somehow seem even less competent. So is it the game that is too difficult to ref or we just consistently have poor refs...

Don't forget that he laughed in my face when I said NATO would steamroll the Russian army. What evidence is there that "NATO would steamroll the Russian army"?

The main question is what is NATO without the US. Today, it would be pretty toothless in a conventional war, starting with logistics. Without the US to move equipment around, our armies would be stuck. Remove the US from NATO what are you left with? Effectively 3 regional blocs - The Russia "hawks"...
