Discuss.
Also why is Putin always described in the media as this rugged strongman? He’s barely five foot tall with his high heels on.
But that’s another debate.

As someone who has done Judo for many years, he has a genuine black belt. His techniques look traditional old school judo, and I believe he has written books on Judo training. He's not exactly a midget at 5 ft 7 either |
Do you actually make things up as you go, along Putin has written a book on the history of Judo, does that prove he has a genuine black belt of course it does not, what proves he does not have a genuine black belt is when elite Russion athletes come out and tell us Putin is no black belt and has never competed at any official level, Ufc champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, world judo champ Ugo Legend, and ex champ Vladimir Nevzarov who is now chairman of the Russian Judo federation have come out and said in interviews that Putin has never officially gained a blackbelt are they making all this up, it was given to him because of who he is and then used for propaganda do you honestly believe what this guy and his cronies tell you when elite athletes from Russia tell you it is untrue.i have watched footage of him and even the guy he is grappling with is put there and just helps and allows Putin to go through the motions for the media and TV in attendance.

Putin apparently names Liz Truss as the reason for him putting his nuclear forces on high alert . |  |

So British politicians should say nothing, cower?
I thought the Left were arguing that our government wasn't doing enough?
They are of course, as usual, making both arguments at the same time. |  |

There’s absolutely no way he’s anywhere near 5’7. Maybe with his platform shoes on. He’s smaller than Merkel and she’s 5’5.

I don't roll with the racially pure, I think we are all equal, I can't stand the hypocrisy of little Englanders and their attitude to foreigners when their forefathers were probably Germanic invaders, the irony is not lost on me. |
Little Englanders
Think about that | |

A black belt is no real big deal in Judo. There are loads about. It takes a few years and lot's of practise. Go to any local club and you will see lot's of them, all ages and all sizes.
To get one, you have to compete in area gradings, usually held in Cardiff. You have to a get 100 points, 10 points for a win, but that can be over years, or you can win it on the day if you win a number of contests without a loss. It's tough yes, but you don't need to be superman. It's probably similar in most countries
He would probably have gained it 40 or 50 years ago when Khabib Nurmagomedov was still shitting yellow [Post edited 28 Feb 2022 14:32]

You attack Kilkenny and myself because we are proud to be Welsh that is xenophobic. |
Xenophobia, a dislike or prejudice against people from other countries. Ergo a Welsh person criticising another Welsh person cannot be accused of Xenophobia.
It's not being proud to be Welsh that is the issue, it is the constant denigration of anything British and English. | |

I wonder if his forefathers being of Mediterranean descent is an irony he can grasp?
Here's another one, I can trace my family roots back a fair way My Mothers side of the family, all Welsh, there is an Englishman on my Dads side (my great, great grandfather) but my roots are mainly Welsh right back until they are not, I am Welsh/British but apparently I could have ancestry from England, France or Germany.
Anybody who thinks they are pure Welsh is deluded. We are all mongrels.
How can somebody claim they have no mixed blood in their family, apparently a source of pride, then go on to say they aren't about racial purity? Hypocrisy much? | |

Maybe people who think they grasp complicated political situations, and better than others too, should reflect on the fact they don't even understand the meaning of words they use. | |

I don't think I'm pure Welsh, or that anyone else is come to that matter, I don't know of any other nationalities in my family tree mind. | |

All my fathers side were Cardies .
Yet I slag off Wales.
The tightest people I ever met.
My grandad was wealthy but incredibly mean in every way.
A miserable life in all
My mum s side were Irish Protestant in Co Cork. Imagine that in the 20s.
We are all mongrels . It’s all about degrees.
English are no different to Welsh | |

"There are no mixed nationalities in my background" but now you just don't know. Maybe you should take that ancestry DNA test, you may get a large shock. | |

You keep on telling me to do that, but I have no interest not for the reasons you think, but I would not want to revisit the past when all my lot died young, so I don't know close relatives birthdays or nothing because it's a defence mechanism to not bring back bad childhood memories.
What I do know is on one side they owned manor houses between Glamorgan and Pembrokeshire but on the other side they were all miners. [Post edited 28 Feb 2022 16:31]

I said there are no pure blood Welsh. We are all mongrels. My nationality is Welsh/British but my family heritage going back many hundreds of years embraces a very diverse range of people. | |

I'm patriotic I'm the last person that should be called a traitor, I won't live overseas as this is my country, I won't work overseas as I want my taxes to go to my country.
Some people are only patriotic when it suits them, like a lot of politician's from what I see as well as others. [Post edited 28 Feb 2022 10:29]

So you called somebody else Xenophobic when you won't leave this country because this is your country and you don't want other countries getting your taxes?
Patriotism, the last refuge of a scoundrel isn't it?
As far as it goes and despite my arguments on here, I'm not really keen on patriotism and nationalism. This horror show in Ukraine has its roots in both those things as do so many conflicts.
I am Welsh/British, it is a fact but not really anything to be very proud of. When humanity learns to stop destroying itself and just get on with each other, then maybe I'll feel some pride in being a citizen of planet earth | |

I don't know why you keep having a go at me for my views, everyone is entitled to having an opinion, it's up to me if I choose to live and work here and not abroad, if somebody attacks somebody for being proud to be Welsh and no other reason then that seems to be xenophobic to me. | |

Even the famously neutral Swiss are joining in with the sanctions. They have frozen the Swiss bank accounts of 36 people including Putins. Total may run into the trillions. | | | |
