Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Who ate all the pies?

Have a look round ICU...

501st surrendered, 503rd continues the fight.

So the reports currently go.

@cossackgundi is the guy Dyr is on about. He posted that 501/503 distinction.

It’s a sad development if true, but not altogether surprising, considering how long they’ve been fighting, how hard, and the supply situation.

Looks like Germany aren't ready to ban natural gas imports from Russia, but are willing to ban coal.

Carla Del Ponte, former prosecutor of the UN criminal tribunals for crimes in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, asked the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague to arrest Vladimir Putin. She stressed that the president of Russia is a war criminal.

Carla Del Ponte noted that "this is the only existing instrument for arresting a war crime perpetrator". However, she added that the issue of an arrest warrant did not mean Putin would be sent to prison immediately.

- However, it would make it difficult for him to leave the country, and would also send a strong signal that many countries are against him - she explained.

Does this 'brit' speak Ukrainian or Russian? I would have thought that foreigners who couldn't speak either would be most likely to be put in units with a CO who could speak their language.

They're absolutely bonkers not to get their nuclear power plants back in working order. The whole decision to shut them down was madness to begin with.

It's not a lack of willingness, it's arranging the alternatives. Coal is the easiest one to do and they've already flagged year end for oil and gas. In effect ending Russian energy supplies will be a permanent sanction. Of the EU countries exposed Hungary might buck the trend.

Maybe if you shared some of these super critical posts about Russia, that might take away the impression that you only seem to pop up with posts that are critical of the West \ Western actions. And I don't mean posts where other posters challenged you on it initially.

And there have been quite a few posters who have been engaged in smokescreens and both sides and denying Russian actions.

RT were in clear breach of UK broadcasting standards and if the standards don't apply to RT then any station could do what it likes. So either there's broadcasting standards for 'news' channels or there isn't..

I’ve posted his Twitter handle, maybe visit his timeline and make up your own mind?

Not being sarcastic or contrarian, nor shielding other poster(s): just informing the debate/source, is all 🙂
