Re: War in Ukraine...Dozy possibly using alias
I don't think NATO will strike first as that would mean a world war. Yes, probably. How long do you think it would take NATO to clear Ukraine of Russian forces though? Ukraine defence, which uses older technology, has made it a nightmare for Russia so far. NATO could actually stop this pretty quick...

Ladies you're all on the same side for once. It's fair to say that the western countries have done pretty well here. Chipping away at Putin without provoking him in to pressing any red buttons (yet).

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
It's probably been said, but Lowry looks like our version of McKenzie. A lovely option to have against teams who will try to frustrate us. You'd have him covering 10 / 15 from the bench if Sexton wasnt guaranteed an injury every game.

That's actually a positive move by SF. It might hurt them in the polls as they alienate their crank / conspiracy theory element but they'll pick up a few more in the middle ground I reckon.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
That sounds a little bit naive. I agree with "if a development proposal is in accordance with the development plan..." but how often will a developer push his luck so to speak? There's a reason why it is so fruitful to appeal these things.

I would support congestion charges / car free city etc. But that is an infrastructure change.
