In Soviet Union all our football was in Ukraine and other south republics. In Russia was popular hockey and winter spotrs. When SU collapsed we were without football.
Liam Cruz
But where is football in Ukraine now?
David Watson
This shits actually intense. They're fighting to the last breath. A lot of bragging rights are on the table right now but, Yemenis, and to an extent, the Houthis are supposed to be conservative with their weapons no? Since the blockade and all.. I thought maybe they're shooting at something specifically
>violations of South West Syria Deal what fucking Deal? Any Factions that had deals with the Gov either broke their part of the bargain or already surrendered. The Gov doesn't have any deals with Al Nusrats and IsIs sympathizers.
>ITALY REFUSES TO CONTINUE PURCHASING F-35 FIGHTERS, MULLS WALKING OUT OF EXISTING CONTRACTS
Italy will not purchase any more US-made F-35 stealth fighter jets and will review the existing order for 90 planes, Italian Defense Minister Elisabetta Trenta said in a television interview with La 7 broadcaster.
Trenta also rulled out any new coontracts on with the US for the purchase of F-35 warplanes. The defense minister emphasized that the order for 60 F-35A and 30 F-35B jets, which Italy concluded in 2012, may be placed under review.
>“We won’t buy any more F-35s. We are assessing what to do regarding the contracts already in place,” she said noting that strong financial penalties could mean that “scrapping the order could cost us more than maintaining it.”
>“In view of the existing contracts signed by the previous government, we are carrying out a careful assessment that exclusively considers the national interest.”
According to Trenta, the termination of the contract can negatively impact Italian workers involved in the production. She listed other merits of the deal such as “technological activity” and “important research” in a Facebook post accompanying the interview.
In 2012, Italy already downsized its initial order for 135 F-35 jets to 90. 10 of these 90 jets were received.
Is that why all Russians wear that colorful Ukrainian clothing when cheering for their football team?

>SYRIAN ARMY CAPTURES ARMOURED VEHICLES SUPPLIED BY U.S. MILITARY OPERATIONS ROOM IN JORDAN TO MILITANTS
On July 7, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) released photos of several armored vehicles, which were captured by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) inside the Nasib border crossing in the western Daraa countryside.
Among the vehicles, four OT-64 SKOT amphibious armored personnel carriers (APCs), which was made by Poland and former Czechoslovakia. Despite that the SAA operated a number of these vehicles previously, experts believe that the ones found in Nasib had been supplied by the U.S. Military Operations Room (MOC) in Jordan to the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
On May 22 of 2017, Turkish photographers Alper Böler and Yörük Işık released photos of Danish cargo ship “Hanne Danica” carrying OT-64 SKOT APCs while passing the Bosporus en route to the Suez Canal. The ship likely headed from there to the Jordanian port of Aqaba. Later the APCs appeared with the FSA in Daraa.
so I did a little digging on this elusive "South-West Syria Deescalation Deal" and all I found was this >The source said the Russian Center offered the rebels reconciliation if they would agree to handover their heavy and medium weapons and join a neutral military police in their hometowns. >The Russian Center offered to transport any unwilling rebels north to the Idlib and Aleppo governorates. >Furthermore, any rebels that are willing to settle their cases with the government will be allowed to do so. >The source added that the 12 hour ceasefire is only between the Russian forces and rebels – the Syrian Army is not currently participating in these meetings.
what the fuck are these retards on about, Rebs didn't abide by any of these terms, and even if they did, it was between Russia and them, for 12 hours in June.
Cooper Rodriguez
They're talking about the original US-Russia deal lad. but it's effectively dead since the mutts said they won't intervene so whatever
Charles Reed
wow did you guys just see that loli croatian boy? he look right at camera

oh my bad I mistook the helmet for something else. I saw a Russian wearing this but I thought it had flowers on the top, like for Ukrainian clothing
#BREAKING: People of #Borazjan, #Bushehr province are protesting against #Iran's Islamic Regime due to lack of drinking water in their city. They are chanting: “Let #Syria Be, Do Something for Me”. #IranProtests #WeStandWithRezaPahlavi.
I think by default all the old de-escalation areas are dead in the water because it seemed that they only applied to SAA while the jihadists still kept on their thing. The SE syria deal was form july 2017 and I'm pretty sure there have been shooting on both sides ever since not to mention HTS who does not abide.. so not much of a deal..

>Pope Francis says ‘murderous indifference’ of great powers to blame for violence in Middle East
Pope Francis has blamed "murderous indifference" for the violence that continues to rage in Syria, Yemen, Iraq and other nations in the Middle East, driving thousands of people from their homes.
The head of the Catholic church said western powers had put profits before people in the region during a gathering of Orthodox patriarchs and Catholic leaders in the Italian port city of Bari.
And, along with releasing a dove of peace, he renewed his calls for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He's right but he's also said so much stupid stuff that I can't stand behind him. I'm just glad that he has something sensible to say from time to time.
Lucas Torres
ah thanks for that, I forgot the word.
oy vey regime change is a legit agenda this year I guess
I agree. I never liked him to begin with but his statements were really annoys most of the times. I was watching this tv show, where some orthodox talking head was asked of catholics and orthodox could become one, and he said the only way this will happen is if cahtolics will embrace orthodoxism
Dominic Ward
>indifference
not really; the great powers have been funding and arming the local parties involved, as well as participating directly
Chase Williams

How many innocent civilians will he murder in Syria now?
these are govts not corporations. while there are material interests involved, the conflict is primarily a struggle for control and survival. it's primal, existential, in the context of a greater war brewing between Israel and company, Russia vs NATO, etc.
human deaths come with war; some may be more callous than others, but what else do we expect? it is war, and this is just a drop in the bucket compared with what's coming
Thomas Phillips
I agree. If he was for real, he'd accuse the secular western states for destroying Christianity everywhere and militantly slaughtering Middle Eastern Christians.
