    In the interest of openness are you, by any chance Russian or a native Russian speaker?

    The reason I ask is you seem to be omitting direct and indirect articles (the words "the", "a" and "an") from many parts of your posts (common for Russians since they do not exist in the Russian language) and you're also spouting pro-Kremlin talking points attempting to muddy the waters and blame "both sides".

    It's also common in Yorkshire as well isn't it? Maybe he's from Leeds.

    Should they not be called spouting points rather than talking points since he's spouting them?

    Lithuania just kicked out the Russian ambo.

    Hopefully more countries follow suit shortly.

    It may be symbolic, appearing to be merely gesture politics in this ‘post-truth, anything goes’ day and age.

    But for those countries who still understand and do diplomacy the traditional way, it’s not far short of a nuclear strike, on the diplo-scale.

    Twitter translation of a document published in Russian Media - which outlines what will need to be accomplished to denazify Ukraine

    The special operation revealed that not only the political leadership in Ukraine is Nazi, but also the majority of the population. All Ukrainians who have taken up arms must be eliminated - because they are responsible for the genocide of the Russian people. Ukrainians disguise their Nazism by calling it a "desire for independence" and a "European way of development". Ukraine doesn't have a Nazi party, a Führer or racial laws, but because of its flexibility, Ukrainian Nazism is far more dangerous to the world than Hitler's Nazism. Denazification means de-Ukrainianisation. Ukrainians are an artificial anti-Russian construct. They should no longer have a national identity. Denazification of Ukraine also means its inevitable de-Europeanisation. Ukraine's political elite must be eliminated as it cannot be re-educated. Ordinary Ukrainians must experience all the horrors of war and absorb the experience as a historical lesson and atonement for their guilt. The liberated and denazified territory of the Ukrainian state should no longer be called Ukraine. Denazification should last at least one generation - 25 years. Then the author goes on to detail exactly what needs to be done:

    For anyone who doubts the translation - here is the original link

    Some balls on Lithuania to be fair. They've stopped importing Russian gas entirely as well.

    They're already facing the wrath of China over them allowing Taiwan to open a "diplomatic office" in their country.

    You have to admire them.

    What is really quite incredible is how they have ramped up the propaganda from nothing at all, pre-Invasion, to this nightmarish stuff - all within the space of 6 weeks! As far as I know the actual Nazis took many years of propaganda before calling for the extermination of the Jews.

    That is a direct call by Russia for genocide.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,041 ✭✭✭Detritus70


    Oh I do agree with shutting gas off now, no argument there from me. As for the 1% GDP figure, that's not written in stone and I would even call it wildly optimistic. The true damage may be greater than anticipated, and yes, I still think we should do it.

    I tried reading the full translated version yesterday - got posted on a reddit channel - and I struggled to get through what I can only describe as an incoherrent, ranting diatribe that simultaneously attempts to see how many times the word "nazi" can be fitted into each paragraph and whether it can have a go at the word count from War & Peace.

    Whomever wrote it has quite literally lost all sense of reality. It is a "These cows are small, those cows are far away" moment and only for how disturbing the content is, you could be forgiven for laughing at the absurdity of it.

    Does that mean the Kaliningrad express has also stopped?

    When you read the full document - it is surreal - talk of dividing Ukraine in two - a 'liberated zone' for those saved, who will atone - and a remnant for the 'russian haters' and those who 'deny the truth' - this will be weakened, neutralized, and alone -

    Reading it was surreal - it reminds me of reading Wansee Conference documents - or Hitlers 'General Plan East' -

    It is certainly the most disturbing thing i have read in a long time - and yes if that were a manifesto in a post apocalyptic fiction - you would laugh, and possibly complain that even for fiction it is OTT in the extreme - the fact it is what seems to be a primer for the Russian people, on what is to come - Im struggling with words (i agree with everything you said btw, the author is detached from (this) reality)

    But im struggling with words? Hate-filled? Genocidal? Hitlerite? it is so so disturbing - i actually wondered whether the bullet point translation was maybe exaggerated - so i started reading - shocking

    It's very typical for something written to exact specifications within a totalitarian dictatorship.

    Russia will soon turn into North Korea.

    Re what you were saying about 6 weeks - iv been trying to find a video i recently watched on YT - i think it was a channel4 piece - I cant find it - but it seemed to suggest that the 'Nazis in Kyiv' argument has been going on for years - since 2014 really. it didnt begin at its current level but it slowly increased up to where we are now

    There was a clip shown where a bunch of talking heads on the Russian equivalent of 'Prime Time' were literally ranting about NAZIS, traitors, turn coats, and genocide - so i took that the mean its been going on for many years

    This clip is more recent but it makes a few points RE the propaganda being years in the making - annoyed i cant find the other older video - il keep looking

    I mean its bad stuff - but that 'wansee document' is far worse - it really is chilling

    Incorrect, most of your pathetic Russian propaganda has already been refuted.

    Zelenksy's mentors are probably beginning to be a little apprehensive. Yesterday he got onto the Grammy's broadcast but today he's already back and finding it "difficult to talk". We are truly in the era of performative politics but it's beginning to look like Trump-style statesmanship.

    Back during WWII you had the axis powers of Germany, Japan, Italy and to a lesser degree Romania

    Who are the axis powers of today? Russia, Belarus, Hungary? China? certain African countries with Soviet sympathies?

    Patnor1011 - go take that scutter with you when you take a long walk off a short pier.

    It is lies of the worst sort worthy of the national socialist party of Germany.


    I hate how difficult it is to report a post on this new boards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,155 ✭✭✭✭josip


    You omitted Hungary from the WWII Axis powers, they had fascist form back then and their appetite for brutality was noted by the Germans

    Hi, I am not sure how to pm you as your profile is private but can you please send some moderation the way of this thread please.

    March 31st it appears the last Russians left the district

    April 1st and 2nd Ukrainians and Press enter the district and see the bodies.

    You wrote:

    "Well, there are videos which were made after russians left but before ukrainian army arrived. No corpses on those. Also it took nearly 4 days for atrocities being "found" by ukrainians."

    Which videos and what 4 days? If this is a mistake just admit it.

    I've seen photos/video where the bodies look "fresh", however it's hard to tell with cold/weather at what stage of decomposition they are in. It appears many of the bodies filmed on the streets have been there for weeks. This debunks your attempts to hint that these bodies were staged by the Ukrainians.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,229 ✭✭✭pcardin


    you are wasting your time here, that cnut is pushing his fascist agenda. He/she has to, wont get paid otherwise. russians are pure scum, deffo not humans, there is more humanity in dogs poo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,456 ✭✭✭patnor1011


    What I am saying is that there is a war going on in there and atrocities and killing is done by both parties. What we see in media is pure propaganda for one or the other side depends entirely on which media you follow. I understand russian language to some extent since we had it in a school. It was good 30 years ago but most of it is still in there.

    What happened in Bucha is no different of other similar incidents in other parts of ukraine. Some bodies are work of rusian and some of ukrainian forces and anyone who think otherwise is a fool. This sight is pretty common since people on front lines over there are actually asked to leave their dead by the side of the road to be collected later. This explains some yet not all of the dead bodies over there or any other place. Mainly those with tied hands look pretty bad.

    I said it many times, there is civil war going on in there and no matter how any nationalist be it russian or ukrainian try to spin it they are essentially the same - slavs and presently killing each other for some idiotic reason. The sooner this will be over the better for everyone involved.

    That is not a counter argument.

    Please refute the satellite images with credible links.

    I am not up to date with pronouns and their use but if I understand correctly you want to be addressed as we or do you feel as spokesperson of some group? I will go with pronoun you seems to use so I will not offend you in any way as today people seems to be offended by everything. You feel free to address me any way you like I am not that easily offended I have seen it all here.

    Counter argument to what? Why would you/we/they ask me to refute satellite images? What do you/we/they not understand on guidance issued by authorities in nearly all places on front lines about leaving their dead outside to be collected later? Perhaps that street with about dozen bodies was the one where most of the fighting was going on who knows... There certainly are not bodies on every street over there otherwise as we would already know about that. I already said, and will say it again that bodies with hands tied behind their back are concerning but the rest do not appear much different from casualties in any other part of ukraine where fighting is going on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,400 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    You were suggesting that Ukrainians staged aspects of Bucha. You are using false equivalence in an attempt to paint the defenders as being on the "same level" as the invaders. It's disgusting.
