Russia - threadbanned users in OP

No you dance the very fine line. But expose yourself often enough. It's actually superbly easy to spot. As we say here anti war 'me hole', Anti ukranian assistance more like.

I shall continue to consume your methods and point out their flaws.

Thanks for the constant stream of pro Russian propaganda btw.

The guy in that article is free to do as he wishes. You casting aspersions on his character is hardly surprising considering.

Putin is a war criminal who has illegally invaded a peaceful independent country and who is currently waging a war against the Ukrainian people. You can try and paint that any which way you like - it won't wash.

What's the definition of a Russian string quartet?

A Russian orchestra back from a US tour!

I hope the Ukrainians are doing some kind of vetting for all the foreigners joining their ranks. No doubt most of them are professionally trained and well intentioned, but you can be sure there's a few sociopaths heading over to play at rambo and to shoot at people with no consequence.

Evidently you've no idea how their constant and wide spread misinformation war works. Ill let you go off and research it yourself. No country, format or forum is off limits pal.

The trick is that you think it doesn't exist and they've better things to be doing.

.. Like what processing visas!!?.....

I realise it's bad form to reply to my own posts but I've had a second thought that Putin could also be trying to up the ante to goad another country, NATO or otherwise, to provide yet more military assistance (in the form of that well-worn tabloid phrase, 'boots on the ground') to give him the excuses he needs for home consumption.

Third thought is to create more panic within Ukraine, so more people leave the country altogether, try to over-stretch EU neighbours with refugees so the EU's fortitude on help and sanctions etc. wavers.

Or even, little bit of column A, little bit of column B ...

Of course I have a high opinion of myself, but I'm actually unsure what the hell that has to do with this current subject. I'm talking about forums. Your talking about my opinion of myself?

Did I say Russians are targeting me? (short answer, no)

You're off your nut friend.

Its hardly exploitation, people who would usually struggle getting a basic job or cope successfully within society in general are provided structure and a decent living in their countries armed forces.

So are we at the stage where Russia can do pretty much anything it wishes in Ukraine, including killing civilians, chemical weapons etc and Nato will not intervene? Nato and the EU,US,etc owe it to Ukraine and ourselves as to where exactly they stand. Hundreds of Ukrainians will be killed by Russians before I quit work today and many more in the days ahead. If there is no limit or red lines as to what Russia can do in Ukraine well then just say it!
