There are alot of (wealthy) Russian's in the UK, it will be interesting to see if anything happens there. Its generally accepted that the English government, or rather its policies, are very racist right now, unless your rich AF. Abramovich looks to be the standout. I think I remember reading a story about his passport a few years ago hmmm ... (goes off to google).

Edit: The billionaire oligarch Roman Abramovich has become an EU citizen, three years after withdrawing his application for a UK visa amid diplomatic tensions between London and Moscow. Oh so he's not Russian, so he's ok then. right ?? He's not Russian, he just has benefitted from being Russian in the past.

off to google "russian players in the premier league" now...
I seem to remember something about Ozil a few years ago (Turkey? cant remember).

2 days ago: Premier League player BOOKED after showing message of support to Ukraine
1 day ago: Premier League referee's INSTRUCTED NOT TO PUNISH players who support Ukraine
1 day ago: Russian Football team kicked out of FIFA World Cup

You may not be aware of this but being dismissed and being fired are literally the same thing.
They didn't have to "do" anything. Gergiev is a conductor, he conducts orchestras. They confronted him and demanded he sign his name to a statement denouncing his mother russia or else they'd fire him. They chose to persecute him for his beliefs and associations proactively, rather than in response to anything he said or did, because he didn't say or do anything. He was minding his own business doing apolitical classical music, they went all spanish inquisition on him and not in the funny way

Tell that to the thousands of ukrainian people who are fucking dying because HIS president thermobombs them. I'm sure they feel as sorry for Gergiev as you do.

ehmm its not as if they can change their president, or place of birth you know.

latest headline:

Ukraine President urges EU "prove you are with us"
I dont think he should hold his breath for anything other then "we will give you food water and weapons and we feel sorry for you too". it looks like he was quite naive going into this.

They can change him, hardly. They can choose to not suppor him.
They cannot criticize him if they don't want to go in camp or worse.

Btw i would like to Thanks US:

"
https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/26/politics/us-intelligence-ukraine-russia/index.html

WHAT MATTERS: Biden has pledged repeatedly not to commit US military troops on the front lines of a war between Ukraine and Russia, so as not to start World War III. Given that pledge, how would and could the US intelligence community be utilized inside Ukraine?

WEINER: The CIA and the National Security Agency could support the Ukrainian resistance with battlefield intelligence. The CIA also could provide lethal weapons like Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. The CIA shipped billions of dollars in weapons to the Afghan rebels fighting the Soviet armed forces occupying Afghanistan in the 1980s. The CIA has been training small groups of Ukrainians in irregular warfare -- that is, paramilitary operations -- for eight years. It's conceivable -- if this conflict turns into a long and bloody occupation -- that CIA officers could join the battle themselves, which would be a risky proposition, to say the least. There is certainly a cadre of CIA paramilitary who would be only too happy to send Russian soldiers back home in body bags.
"

US help is decisive in this Russian agression.

If we do that it's global war, and global war is conventional until one starts to lose.
Not sure if i will be in the blast radius, i'm close to Paris. You are living in town ?
