Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Another one bites the dust.

Kerry Group...

We're not making any money in Russia, but if we do we'll donate it to Ukraine

If you're not making money then why are you there and money is no use to the dead

Please link.

And you can put me on ignore either...

Reuters, can some German news outlets.

I know you won't be offended that I disagree. I suspect the people that matter are becoming more engaged. The opinions of the "soap watchers" never mattered anyway as they would be unlikely to protest or lobby.

The Western world may now realise how easy it might be to put an end to Russia's aggression. There must be a lot going on behind the scenes.

Just link it

The Russian army bought 45,000 bags for bodies and brought mobile crematoria to Ukraine, believes Sergej Sumlenny, an expert on Eastern Europe. In his opinion, genocide and mass executions were planned by Russia. In recent days, mass graves and bodies of civilians with their hands tied have been found in the Kiev region.

You link the propaganda if you so strongly believe I'm spreading it.

I know you hate PIS , that is your prerogative but please not everything is propaganda of your hated current government in Poland.

Anyhow the tread is bad enough I'm not going to derail it any further.

I'm off now see if they need some help moving stuff at the border.

But I doubt you would do that as it organised by the polish government.

I thought that the rule was, that a poster should have attached the link to proof their claim. You seem not to have a credible one.

And it is sad that the effort of so many volunteers is not credited to them.

And BTW I don't hate PiS, they are not worth it. I only correct their b*****t.

A lot of people are mentally exhausted from worrying about events in Ukraine, which is understandable after a month and a bit of being bombarded with information about it.

It's one of those things that's going to be used to lambast other people no matter what they do, because if one spends all their time worrying about Ukraine, you get people going, "While you're focused on Ukraine, here's what they have been doing!", and if you focus on other things, it's "Oh, looks like people are losing interest in Ukraine..." There's no mixture which everyone could agree is the right one.

As for whether the Western world has the stamina, I should ask does Russia have the stamina? It's not as if Russia can go on and on with this either. They're being hit with sanctions, have piles of bodies coming back (or being cremated, as the case may be), Putin has people quitting the country over their disagreement with his actions. How is that tenable? It's not, is the answer.

And herein lies the problem.

Putin is digging such a huge hole for himself that the distinct danger now is that he will be squeezed in to such a tight corner, he uses the nuclear last resort. Whether that is a tactical nuke on Ukraine or something much more devastating only he knows.

Gotta hope and that the people that have keys never turn them. Also will half them even launch. Granted probably more than enough to bake the earth either way...

Very good interview with a Russian based sociologist. He says he knew for the last two years at least that Putin would invade Ukraine and try and take the entire country. He talks about how Putin is turning the country from an authoritarian state into a totalitarian one. One very alarming prediction he makes is that the dictator may try and invade Poland and the Baltic states next (which might mean it would be no bad thing if the Ukrainian army was to inflict a humiliating defeat on the Russians - knock the wind out of their sails so to speak).
