That was the previous white apartheid SA government.
At that time, the ANC was getting support and training from the USSR.
So they may feel a need to support Russia now.
It also depends on how much aid was coming in from Russia & China recently.
Note, this is not necessarily a view of oridinary South Africans but of the ANC. The ANC are corrupt irsholes as well who have profited by billions since coming to power compared to their citizens.
So basically after a couple days pulling out of Russia Netflix slaps on some major increases for Irish costumers me included. So the war wont infect Netflix really. Not impressed.
Russia is wide open for China to undertake a special military operation of their own. It would be a walk in the park for China to reintegrate their indigenous people.
Howya Mick.
Yeah, I did read that bit. What I mean is that if you can repel the invaders in one way or another, that's a win. It's not about killing every last enemy or conquering their capital, if you're the defender. You mentioned the mountains of Afghanistan as being what made it impossible to conquer. I agree, but mountains are not the the only factor that hampers an army. Ukraine does not have many mountains within its borders to slow the Russian advance down, but it does have huge international pressure on its side in the form of these economic sanctions imposed on Russia, which are extensive and likely to only increase in severity as the Western world watches on in horror.
So, I think there is a possible path to Ukraine getting a conventional victory, but it is an unlikely one.
This is not the first hospital to be bombed by a long shot. Multiple hospitals and medical facilities in Ukraine have been hit. It's estimated there are over a thousand dead in Mariupol alone, many remain unburied because of how dangerous the situation is.
This isn't going to trigger NATO involvement (WW3).
who said Russia and China are not diverse, accepting and open societies?
The Pirate Bay has also increased their prices from 0 a month to 0.00 a month.
They will come to their senses when they realise that Russia won't be able to afford their gold and diamonds soon.
I also imagine the EU holding up their relatively new trade agreement with SA on one hand and a lighter in the other will focus the mind.
If only there was a dozen cheaper other streamers to migrate to.
Oh hang on.
They never give up.
Russian forces are invading Ukraine, but this lot keep finding ways to "have issues" with how it's portrayed. They are "just asking questions" and being "skeptical" that's all. Where have I seen this act so many times before..
What are you on about "selling out"?
selling out
That's his way out.
It must be exhausting. Almost feel sorry for them, somethings gone very wrong in their lives.
read the thread and get back to me
Ah **** I didn't realize america did it, that makes it ok so for Russia to have at it with every hospital in there path.
Glad you could justify there attacks for us.
You are making an unsubstantiated claim their Mecanudo...
There is no way for you, or I to know if he is keeping a straight face or not when he is posting this crap...
TASS is a Russian state mouthpiece, any other sources on this?
Ah, the Dutch bravery to the fore as usual - Srebrenica.
You d have to wonder about those people, how anyone can even attempt to justify the current situation let alone defend it is beyond me.
Scroll down to 'Publications' on this gov.ie site:
Cyberattack?
He doesn't really count, he has been on a Kremlin hitlist for years.
Announcements pertinent to refugees are published in Ukrainian.
Thanks, I must have missed this one, and appears they also hit Millerovo airbase in the same Oblast
No
those are intended to Ukrainian readers.
Im not sure why there havent been more
You made the claim so explain or get off the back peddling Russian bolloxology
In February as per Russian propaganda or on 1st March as per journalist report/possible Russian propaganda?
Worth reading the thread he put up, he doesn't confirm Ukrainians did anything.
