Today I watched a BBC interview with a Ukrainian parliamentarian who hasn't heard from his parents, who are in Mariupol, in 5 days, where there are at least 1200 civillians dead. He said he had recently received eye witness testimony from personal acquantances in a small town, the name of which passed me by, that described how Russian troops are killing civillians for fun. One account was that they went to one house, knocked on the door, then demanded food. Not satisfied with some, they took everything they had. At another door, the couple refused so they just killed them. The second account was from a person who said They saw Russian soldiers kill their neighbour for fun - for sport - a laugh.
Personally I think people on the internet throwing unpleasnt words around is rather unimportant, in the context of what is happening to Ukrainians in the real world.
Get with the program. Coke and hookers all the way
Are the Mods drunk?
At some point NATO are going to have to get into a shooting fight with em, can't be ruled by fear and let an aggressor do as they will.
The sooner NATO lights up Russians in Ukraine the better, there won't be a single Nuke launched either.
@BurgerFace why are you still posting in this thread? Does this not ring a bell
Take a break from the forum for a while
All it shows is that he's completely deluded. He's either ignored the militarization of Ukraine, the election of a pro-west president and the very preparations made to withstand Russia's invasion, or he has twisted these facts to fit some grand conspiracy in his head. It's a fundamental and monumental intelligence failure consistent with the joke that has been Russia's attempt at invasion so far, given the supposed massive military superiority they allegedly possess.
I haven't read his article, but if it is true that he saw Ukraine and Russia has been spiritually won then maybe that explains why he thought they would be more welcoming of his military coming into the country Ukraine also has a large ethnic Russian population and maybe he thought as well they would be far more supportive than they appear to have been.
I respectfully suggest that if Putin thought there would be little resistance, then he really doesn't understand Ukraine at all. Quite embarrassing for a man who wrote a lengthy article last year claiming that Russia and Ukraine were spiritually one.
That's an insult to cabbage, it actually has a use and probably more cells.
They d want to be holding back a whole lot more than that to deal with NATO, they would be obliterated in embarrassing fashion.
Burger for a face, cabbage for a head. Off you go.
To add to that, battlefield medical care not only has unusual trauma, but also often has a different purpose: Not necessarily to repair and heal, but to extend life and limb long enough to get to a place better suited for the injuries. Often times the nearest facility will be overwhelmed with insufficient time to treat everyone.
If not the Hague, summarily executed.
You're right I've edited that bit out my post thanks for pointing out. What an idiot. I am at times 😅
weird thing about this Z on tanks ...it should be З
Za pobeda .. is written за победа pro victory ..or some say it stands for zapada and v stands for vostok which should be Восток
But they have the Z in the latin alphabet in a letter they DONT have in cyrillic all over their tanks? Why ? It makes no sense. Someone said there were other weird symbols too.
Why the western alphabet? The letters so far noticed are Z V O A ..all latin alphabet. Its weird.
I'm one of the people who believes that Russia even under Putin would never be crazy enough to try invading a NATO member.
And also I don't believe he is crazy or mentally ill as some people are suggesting. Although he and his generals did make a mistake when invading, Ukraine I tend to side with the idea that he went in expecting little resistance and didn't expect his army to get bogged down so easily.
Sky news giving a good example Betteridge's law of headlines
It's not such a good example, given that 'No' is not a grammatically correct answer to that question.
No one wants a shooting war with NATO. But I suppose the question is getting asked, what happens if Pootler marches on. NATO might be forced into a confrontation.
What is it with people constantly wanting to get NATO involved in the war in Ukraine how many times do people need to be reminded that getting into a shooting war with a major nuclear power is a bad idea.
Will be a totally different username though, given how hard burgers are now to come by in his manor...
Russia managed to torpedo the deal
Ah the whole bingo card in one neat package.
The "Chelsea fans are the biggest victims here" sentiment doesn't really surprise me. The myopia of some soccer fans is more extreme than even the most rabid nationalism.
At the beginning of the pandemic there was an eye-opening amount of smug "Listen, they might cancel all travel, close countries borders, close schools, ban people from leaving their homes, close all pubs restaurants and shops, cancel all concerts and events etc. but if you think they'll postpone Premier League games you're deluded" posts. There's a pretty clichéd quote from Bill Shankly about football being more important than life or death but to some fans they really think that soccer is immune to all the goings on in the world.
See you in your next incarnation.
Dealing with trauma wounds is heavily based on experience, how to treat, what needs to be done quickly to prevent bleeding out. Shrapnel wounds would be an injury that very few nurses would regularly deal with hence they'll be gaining their first experience on live subjects (it would also unlikely be covered during training bar some textbook examples). Army medics would have this training and experience. Would be similar to gunshot wounds being rare in Ireland so nurses less experience than they would be in America, for example.
It's not even believable. It's for home consumption in a land already dripping in conspiratorial nonsense. I don't know how people outside of that walled garden believe that stuff.
There is virtually no country in the western world where it would be legal for people to call for innocent Russian civilians to be murdered, so something must have gotten lost in translation - Facebook would be permitting something that is illegal everywhere.
Now I am listening on SKY that Ukrainian nurses have no experience in dealing with shrapnel wounds. REALLY. A nurse is qualified to deal with any kind of trauma. What is the difference when someone comes into the ER with bullet wounds, or having been blown up as opposed to someone who is brought in on a Saturday night having being shot, gone through the windshield or run over by a truck. ... **** off!! Nurses know EVERYTHING.
Russians are providing corridors so that they can claim that Ukrainians are fleeing to Russia from "Nazis". Ukrainians escaping away from Russia are not useful for propaganda purposes, thus there is no point in letting them go.
