I did not ignore Trump's peculiar behaviour.
I 'm only stating that the issue dates from 2014.
If the 82nd was in Ukraine Putin would n't even dare.
If can't be done then declare Ukraine is neutral like Sweden and get over it.

any direct engagement of NATO/US troops with Russian troops will very likely kick off WWIII

and Sweden has multiple mutual defence pacts

Trump's peculiar behaviour

he is a Russian stooge, as are many of the MAGA Rethug US congress people

Trump cheers on Putin’s ‘savvy’ invasion of Ukraine. ‘This is genius’

Well, ok, it's a question of who gets scared first.
The yanks or Vladimir Vladimirovitch ?
If there was somebody around like general Patton or Barry Goldwater could Ivan play bold ?

As for Trump and brexit they were stooges indeed, since they perceived Europe (!) as the big adversary and not Putin.

I am disturbed that the club is owned by him after this week's events. Definitely want the club sold.

Just learned that Roman's mother is Ukrainian and he has relatives there.

For all we know he could be completely against Putin’s plans.

I would imagine 90% of Europe is against what Putin is doing. But him being for/against what Putin is doing is not why this is unfolding the way it is with Roman at current re his assets.

I think it means they will sell us

Sounds like a preemptive “I’ll step aside until the heat subsides” statement. Before the government step in and fuck with the club. He can now argue that since he will be hands off they shouldn’t punish the club that has nothing to do with what’s going on in Ukraine.

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

He's only stepping aside as the clubs chief, he's still going to own the club, just not run it anymore.

He is not selling anything. He is just making sure it is not seized and he may come back once the whole thing ‘settles’. Very smart actually.

Yeah that’s how I see it. Probably encouraged by his advisors and attorneys.

Welcome back!!!

The maniacal bloodlust amongst opposition fans is hilarious. Apparently they think Chelsea itself should be seized and we should be kicked out of the league just because the owner has connections with Putin.

The same league that has owners from repressive Arab countries etc…

Nothing is going to happen to us. This is Roman protecting the club preemptively. Taking himself out of the spotlight so he isn’t a massive distraction for the remainder of the season.
