why on earth would you alter how you feel about a war just because some celebrities act like a holes?
Sure why not go over and fight for them.
Let us know how you get on. 👍️
The Germans and French are not doing right, now. Very far from it. We see all the grand talk about Europe for what it is now
The only sneaking regarder for Moscow that matters and Putin is concerned about has been Berlin, it's not tiny little irrelevant Hungary.
Cop onto yourself.
Oddly enough, I never watch the Grammys, like most people who can't stand woke nonsense. Dunno about you though...

Well they are now members and mostly entitled to it. When they joined in 2003 he wasn't even a shadow. All the EU can do here is to accept his endorsement of sanctions.
I know how you feel.
When I was growing up I learned about the Holocaust. Learning about the evil that humans are capable of made a deep impact on me. How could the Nazis have been allowed to do what they did? How could we ensure something like the Holocaust could never, ever happen again?
Until I heard Bob Geldof reference the Holocaust, which pissed me right off, so I became a massive Nazi for the craic.
They are maybe just trying to put up some headlines that are not to do with dead bodies in the street.
You might want to look at your own response here. It's part of what he does, media saturation on this Russian aggression. I'd worry for your thinking process if that last bit is actually true.
What exactly does your version of right look like?
one thing this conflict highlights is how easy it is in time of war to be on your own. The town of Bucha is only a few miles from where zelensky is in Kyiv. Yet the difference was unreal. Likewise Ukraine is only a few hours from the heart of Europe. When someone is attacking you it’s generally because the odds are in their favour and they have you alone and isolated. Pretty much as we are on the edge of Europe. Our defence strategy appears to be that we are of no strategic importance and then capitulation followed by guerilla warfare.
This report that was on BBC last night is probably the saddest thing I've ever seen :(
We have one of the finest organisational networks in the world. It will be our most important asset in the event of any catastrophic national crisis.
I don't believe it's assistance has ever been needed, but it is demographically perfect and it is pre-existing.
You'd still have to wonder what the Russians were at off the west coast and how easily they went nicely when confronted by a few fishermen.
It puts a slightly different slant on it given what now has happened in the weeks after.
That cuts deep :-(
**** this world sometimes. Seriously.
The poor woman is just all alone now with her house half destroyed. Horrible.
Germany’s defence minister Christine Lambrecht says the European Union must now discuss banning the import of Russian gas - something leaders have been reluctant to do so far despite Ukrainian urging because of the effect it would have on European consumers.
With warmer weather coming this might be the time to looks at this.
Meanwhile EU Council president Charles Michel said further EU sanctions and support were "on their way"
If there was nato involvement in Ukraine at any stage launching an attack from the west on undefended Ireland would make perfect sense from a Russian point of view.
Unfortunately this war is likely going to precipitate a global recession, sad days ahead
Yeah this whole war just makes me feel humanity is the worst thing that ever happened, the depths of depravity are beyond belief and none of the perpetrators will be held accountable, the West's rhetoric is utterly empty
"Discuss" is one thing, we'll see what actions they actually take
The EU is currently looking to move away from Russian gas and oil so it will happen by year end anyway. The latest images out of Ukraine may spur them to do so faster than that but it's still not going to be a quick decision.
It involves seeing Russia invade a European country and deciding that they were the chaps to build a gas pipe with that would allow them to invade the rest of Ukraine, not selling them arms, not hobbling sanctions, sending meaningful military help rather than talking a big game
Basically the exact opposite of what the two pillars the European project have done since 2014.
The tens of thousands of younger Russians who left the country must be in a state of shock seeing how reality doesn't match Russian propaganda. The Russians have a policy of inventing whatever alternate reality they like. I think it was Lenin who said if you tell a lie often enough it becomes a truth. Just wait for Lavrov talking shortly at the U.N.
Germany is already blocking it (again) by saying "it'll hurt us more than it hurts them", maybe that's true, I don't know....
Seeing the pictures from the weekend the only thing that feels justified right now is to give Russia a taste of its own medicine by bombing their cities, but obviously that won't happen...
I am a Pole, so I can tell you that polish government is all talks nothing more. They can't even stop convoys of trucks crossing Poland towards Belarus.
Judging by the 900 cars sporting Russian flags that drove through Berlin yesterday, plenty of them buy the Russian propaganda even when abroad or just don't care. Incomprehensible and nauseating.
The Russian youth will eat that up if the videos of them mocking and taunting Ukrainians are anything to go by.
It would be incredibly dangerous to let Russia reintegrate back into the world with their mindset. Lifting of sanctions must not be tolerated by the EU population. Finding alternate energy sources needs to go to the top of the agenda and quick.
