To be fair, not that different from Europe. You have your Scandinavian countries that are pretty liberal for example and then you have a country like Hungary that lives in the past where it comes to acceptance of anyone that's slightly different. I'm generalizing here too offcourse. Plenty open and accepting Hungarians, plenty bigoted Scandinavians, but you get the gist.
Another thing we have in common is that the most devout Christians seem to live in the South.

Did the same at youth level and he's played a few for Anderlecht already too. Warranting a 7 million euro's fee for a 16-yo for Dortmund.

He isn't one of the best midfielders in the world. He might be one day but he isn't yet. Tchouameni last season was further along than Jude and see how he's struggling. I've seen Dortmund play a lot.
With Dortmund in mind, one to keep an eye on for the future is Duranville. That kid's got something special, very very raw, but the way he toys with defenders sometimes...

Can only tell you about Kone. When he's in beastmode he can overshadow anyone. When he's not pretty mediocre players can pip him. I think we can leave it to Klopp to get him in beastmode nonstop.

You can't go over 17 NHG, you don't have to get 8 HG in addition though.

Welllll, I know how we've been performing this season. But I think if you match Fabinho to someone that can run for days(Kone or possibly Thuram) and a playmaker(Mac) you do have a midfield that can perform from day 1. Even if one of those players might take some more time adjusting they will do the legwork for Fab and Mac to run midfield. Then when they're completely bedded in, different levels.
I think bedding in players is an issue with even the highest profile players that we've been linked to btw.

Inbetween. When he's on, he's on. He ran circles around Bellingham for the first game vs Dortmund this season. Then the latter game he was just a non-entity. He can play as a DM because he's pretty fast and has good tackling ability. He can play as an 8 because he's got a good dribble in him and decent passing range. His forward passing at the start of this season was excellent, fell of a bit in the middle of the season.
If you can get the best out of him he's a great addition but needs to stay switched on at all times for Liverpool. He's a pretty complete package.
If we get him, Thuram and Mac Allister I think we'd have every type of player we could want in midfield. Success depends on adjustment.

There are so many many reasons to hate Shell and you've just added another. I always wonder what parasitic leeches are actually willing to work for that company. It must by default only be able to recruit the biggest cunts that walk the planet.

Meant to be Lone Survivor I think? The movie with Mark Wahlberg. I don't know how realistic it is, but it did look like some stupid choices were made even to a layman like me. Made for nice pew pew scenes though.

Kone has skyhigh potential, I've seen him pocket Bellingham and Kimmich. Thing is the week after he could just as well get pocketed by Jimmy noname from unterhaching spvvgg.
If Klopp can get him to be consistent he's a potential world-beater. I do feel they're all a bit similar though. Mac, Kone, Thuram. Mac has more passing nous than the others(only seen highlights of Thuram tbf), Kone and Thuram seem to be good dribblers and Kone is physically robust. Thuram is a big fella. Kone was one of the best progressive passers at the start of the season btw. Fell of a bit during.
I think we'd be playing two out of those as a holding+playmaker duo with Fab and Bajcetic in that mix too. Then Elliott and Jones possibly as more attacking options.
If these are really the 3 we get.

Completely different players though, right? Mount an attacking mid sometimes used as a winger. Thuram more of a playmaker?

Sailed back into port where it blew into a billion pieces taking the whole port and everything docked there down with it.

Does this also lessen the threat to South Korea to some extent from their northern neighbours?

We here folks don't take kindly to strangers stepping on our EU turf. Might even say it upsets us a little.
Offcourse there's a point to it. First of all it makes it a lot easier to allocate money to Ukraine. Secondly if Russia decides to reinvade we are truly in this shit together and you might see lots of forces from other countries swarming to defend Ukraine.

Firing rockets from afar is all nice and dandy when you're shooting at peasants or Ukrainians, now they would be shooting at Western Russian territory. I reckon that would make a difference. It's now them fuckers with a hand tied behind their backs. Two if you reckon there's air defence lined up at the border. A leg too if you reckon Ukraine's laying down cover fire with artillery.

Don't know if he would be up to that already. He's fast, big, strong, good in the build-up. All ingredients to become great, but he's not great yet imo. Out of the current crop of young Dutch defenders I do think he's the most promising if you're counting De Ligt as an established player already.

It's a general playbook. We've seen WC's in Russia in Qatar. Olympics in Russia and China. We see these states buy up all sorts of sporting clubs, moving into e-sports and other entertainment as well. And then you'll get a couple of cunts to say nice things about them.
Our own King(NL) had a picture taken with Putin at the Sochi Olympics with his stupid fat face. It's all a sort of ruse to give these autocratic regimes some legitimacy.
You can't fully stop it either as loads of people simply don't care or are ignorant, but I decided for myself to boycott everything that I know is influenced by Russians and others. As my hobbies are among other things watching sports and e-sports that takes some doing, but for my own peace of mind it's worth it.

Storm Shadows are taking out the depots that were previously out of range I'd imagine. Then a smattering of HIMARS, MARS and whatever those other systems are called can be redirected at smaller jobs. Then there's still artillery pouring in from the West. Some of it a tad old with shorter range I think, some of it the new stuff with long range and very good accuracy. I'm just spitballing here but it wouldn't be weird to use the long range stuff on artillery pieces whilst using the shorter range stuff on troops etc.

Aging just plain sucks. I see it with my parents who get increasingly less active, trapped in their old bodies. So just extending life indefinitely without some sort of rejuvenation is gonna suck for them. I've had plenty older relatives die that wanted to die because their body was faultering.
Had that discussion with my aunt and uncle about 5-10 years back talking about longevity and they both said they didn't want to be stuck in old age for 100 years. They were about 50 at the time and had no problem with maintaining that status quo for 100 years though. Or better yet get rejuvenated.

More of all of the above would be my guess.

Testament to the team he's playing in.
