They are in the bushes right now, don't go near the windows.
So your over excited take from that tragedy is that the Russians policy is now to blanket bomb Ukranian civilians with all their capacity? 100s of thousands killed? All in front of the world media? You believe that Russia will reduce Kyiv to rubble akin to London, Coventry, Birmingham, Hamburg, Dresden, Berlin, Stalingrad etc in WW2? Naive.
That totally misrepresents my intention. All I was implying was that the Nazi horror show was not comparable to previous (pre-1922) German rule in parts of Poland. A previous post seemed to say otherwise.
That's it for Russia. That's the sanction that will break them. It's the national pastime of Russia to wear Adidas trackies and squat.
Has Ireland ever banned a TV station before? Btw do you mind me asking you if you are Eastern European or Irish?
Russia banning the BBC is not a slam dunk reason for Ireland to ban a Russian TV station because many Irish people either oppose censorship or have mixed feelings about it at best. Ireland and Russia are not at war and the BBC are not Irish.
They're a troll, stop feeding them
Sweet jesus! Thousands of Ukrainians are being slaughtered and this is the shite you come out with!
I cannot see Russia targeting Ukrainian citizens indiscriminately like some are suggesting
You need to get your arsé to specsavers so.
I take it you haven't been reading the post by digger1985 on here?
More good news

If they are english-speaking Russians they are probably more liberal and get their news outside Russia. A correspondent from a Russian outlet (one of the last remaining independent outlets) explained this - basically young professionals, especially those who can speak English are often aware of what's really going on. The problem is traditional Russians, who get all their news from state TV, they are much more likely to staunchly support Putin. Russian polls have confirmed this.
Oh I read what you posted but its bollix that they are only targeting military and strategic sites.
Or do you count using cluster munitions on a shopping centre and apartment buildings strategic. Destroying theatres with missiles strategic. Hitting apartment blocks with cruise missiles STRATEGIC. As the Ukrainians said to the Russian Navy F-OFF!
Russian General 1: We are making slow progress, we might just have enough fuel to get to the big oil depot outside the city.
Russian General 2: Ah, yes, about that..
This has been discussed in the thread
The people on the island were recorded on an intercept telling the Russian ship to "to go **** itself", the ship then opened fire on the island, communication was lost, the people were presumed dead. New information later came to light that they were alive. I strongly suspect you are immediately seizing on it in order to project your flimsy narrative that a bulk information on this war is part of a systematic lie, so that you can play this role of "not knowing what is true"
You can't deny what Russia is doing to Ukraine, so instead you relied on a technique of finding some information, any information that turned out not to be fully correct, so that you could portray that global media is "just as bad" or the same as Russian media.
This is going to happen a lot in this thread as the conflict goes on. Contrarian posters and Putinbots will feign being objective, or pretend to be "confused", but you'll notice that they will always zone in on cherry-picked incidents whereby a individual story doesn't turn out to be correct, or there is an injustice towards a Russian soldier, or if global media makes any mistakes in reporting - in order to project that it's all systematic.
Likewise when I presented information on Skripal, despite obviously not knowing much about it, you immediately tried to discredit it by "questioning" it because it supports the fact that Putin has people murdered.
"I just question things" is an act that many conspiracy theorists commonly use to try and attack facts and truths they don't like.
Examples? Any Russian ive seen interviewed or on radio voxpop in Ireland barring those from the embassy obviously have condemned it.
Cut the nonsense man, You were talking about the Ukraine, this is what you said - "Russia got Eastern Poland and Austria got the south and parts of modern UKRAINE including Lviv under the band and Galicia. The German and Austrian parts were run in a civilised way" All I did was point out another far more recent timeline where the Germans and Austrians ran the Ukraine into a utter Holocaust, and they very much did, and you for some reason, got totally pi$$y about it.
That convoy is there for the last 24 hours, its doing nothing atm and its mostly supplies as the latest news tell us. Dont waste an expensive gun, use it when tanks or planes start invading
I call on all Russian diplomats to resign in protest.
Dear Russian diplomats, you are professionals and not cheap propagandists. When I worked at the Foreign Ministry, I was proud of my colleagues. Now it is simply impossible to support the bloody fratricidal war in Ukraine.
You know exactly what I meant. Read it again.
The is a new Voldeputin graffiti in Poznań, Poland. It was crated over night on 28th of Feb.
But they are doing it already!
Oh I’m sure there’s two sides to that story…or something to that effect.
all this is a legitimate worry but I’d urge you to chill out a little bit. Hopefully we will get through it without Armageddon. And I don’t trust the Russians either!
Well, the longbparagraphs were mostly waffling about the stories and overarching narratives both sides tell themselves to cast themselves as the hero. The bit about the objective truth was raised by the poster and I responded in the last post.
Do you think you can find the objective truth about what's actually going on over there? I presume the headline things like the invasion, the people fleeing, the maps we see if controlled areas, the convoy heading to Kiev, are reasonably accurate. But do you think you have a good line on the details?
Now point the thing at that several km line of trucks or the troops dug in at that airport.
Putin has been attempting to undermine the West and the world order for years. He'd of course like to see NATO break up, but it's killing him that he's been unsuccessful in the venture so far. He thought he was close when Trump was POTUS, but it turns out that Trump is an incompetent, raving manchild who fell at the COVID hurdle and couldn't stay in the job.
And what a terrible position to try and negotiate from by invading Ukraine. This action has severely spooked the western world, and spurred it into action. We were enjoying a nice period of peace in Europe (you don't have to do much reading before you realise just how bloody the history of Europe is) and here comes Russia drunk on vodka, being the pr*ck at the party.
Poots... if I may call you that. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If you want more countries nearby to align with you, maybe stop being the leader of a country with increasingly less and less to offer the world culturally and economically.
Bottom line is that if there must be hegemonies in the world, I'll accept the American one with NATO backing it up, even though I far from agree with everything they do in the world. It's still more open and rich than the glum Russian alternative.
once a russian missile destroys a Ukrainian Nuclear power station, the excrement will hit the fan
Do you honestly think the people maimed and killed by cluster bombs, or the family burned alive by a missile strike just a few hours ago are just really good crisis actors?
I cannot see Russia targeting Ukrainian citizens indiscriminately like some are suggesting. I cannot see them committing mass genocide or blanket bombing urban centres because they will immediately lose hearts and minds at home which will rapidly cause Putin's downfall. Hopefully he will be ousted sooner rather than later either way.
I do see Russia targeting strategic and military sites which will result in many civilian casualties. If I were living close to a potential target, I would be long gone.
