Our positions have been unequivocally clear from the outset with no deflection or prevarication. Absolutely no tolerance for the despot in the Kremlin along with no excuses or apologies for his and his regime's murderous, terrorist actions. Did it need to be spelled out in larger font for you?
Would it be moral for the US-UK allied forces to invade Russia right now in your opinion? I think it would be moral to invade Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea right now, along with one or two African countries (maybe more, who's counting the murderous butchers running some of those places?), just to depose their whole form of government, and make them be constitutional liberal democracies, like the US and the UK. We've got separation of powers, independent judiciary, civilian control of the military, rule of law, constitutionalism, and we defend human rights absolutely.
But it doesn't make it prudent, or smart. Just because it's not immoral. I'm pretty sure based on the Ukraine that we could take all of these guys in a world war and win. Their troop numbers and materiel wilt in light of the fact that they're not well-coached, to draw the analogy to sport.
But it doesn't make it a good idea. I just know that we the US-UK alliance need to pony up a fair share of our collective income to subsidize our militaries, in the looming threat of those enumerated and alluded to countries. We need to be able to stomp out any threat posed by any or all of them, and every combination in between, like a bug. Just stomp it out like a big juicy cockroach, splat. Or like a fag, stomp, stomp. Out.
(Cigrits I'm talking about, cigrit butts.)
In cricketing terms you've bowled 25 no balls in a row per over and have subsequently been sacked.
I have to laugh at this lol. This must be exactly how it sounds to you and Stripe when I'm talking NFL American football lol. I love baseball, and I know cricket and baseball are related (baseball borrows some ideas from cricket I think). So I'm just going to write how I process the above, knowing baseball and not cricket.
"Bowling" means nothing to me, it doesn't appear in baseball. "[propelling] balls" that sounds like baseball's pitcher position, the pitcher throws or pitches baseballs, to the catcher. The Pitcher pitches and the Catcher catches, iow lol.
"Balls in a row" appears in baseball parlance. If a pitcher throws three or four balls in a row that's typically not good, and if it's one of the rare times it's not abject failure it's because they were all just outside the strike zone (literally the term used to indicate where the baseball must be pitched in order for it to be a strike instead of a "ball"). By extension if a pitcher throws eight balls in a row, it means that the pitcher just walked at least one and maybe two batters, since throwing four balls (not four baseballs, four "balls" instead of "strikes" or "fouls" (which count as strikes up to two strikes, but then don't count as a strike at all, so that you never strike out by fouling off a pitch, speaking as the batter now) during an at-bat (the at-bat is the batter's turn with the pitcher) puts the batter on base, meaning you didn't record an out, and there is a new baserunner now, who might now go on to score a run. Every at-bat ends with another out and or another run, or with a baserunner.
"Per over" or "in a row per over" doesn't mean anything to me.
"Being sacked" doesn't appear in baseball parlance, but is it anything like being put out? There are three outs per inning in baseball. The defense's job is to record three outs as soon as possible, so that the offense (the batters take their at-bats during the offensive part of the game, when the defense cannot score any runs, they can only try to stop the offense from scoring runs while on defense) ends their at-bats, and your team can go back on offense instead. The pitchers play on defense, they are the one's dueling with the offense's batters, one at a time. If you throw three strikes, including fouls up to but not exceeding two, then the batter is out, and that at-bat ends. The next batter takes the plate, which means begins the next at-bat. The pitcher throws baseballs to the catcher, and the idea is to induce the batter to make another out, where it's by striking out the batter, or getting the batter to hit the baseball into an out in the field.
Professional baseball takes nine innings, an inning is one chance for the offense, followed by one chance for the defense. You get three outs as the offense, per inning. So there are 27 outs that have to be made by the winning team's defense to win the game, three outs per inning, and nine innings per game. Typical games take three-to-four hours.
