Russia - threadbanned users in OP

The Russians remind me of the travellers who make challenge videos. They make brutal accusations against each other with no proof in the hope of a confrontation.

Russia 1 now with English banners with propaganda....

bear in mind they have been openly discussing about destroying Ukraine and whitewash all Russian activities worldwide.

I posted that Gaddafi video.

If you check the posts in the video a few posts in a person gives a time link to what was said and when in the video.

Sorry can't delete the first video for some reason.

They dont build them like they used to!

Exactly. I couldn't agree with you more.

But try telling that to the handful of lily-livered cowards on here who care only for their own ass.

One poster (without mentioning names but he's a self-professed expert on EVERYTHING) harps on about the millions of children who would be vapourised in a nuclear confrontation.

Putin already knows the West are arming Ukraine to the teeth. Putting boots on the ground in Ukraine is no different - it's still not directly attacking Russian cities or land. Hell, you are simply helping a country defend itself from an invasion, and to prevent further atrocities.

If Putin is crazy enough to instigate nuclear confrontation then he's going to do it with or without intervention on the ground in Ukraine. And he - or when he's gone the next leader - will always hold the nuclear sword of damocles over the rest of the world. But does that mean we have to humour him and give him free reign to butcher thousands of children and civilians, and probably do it again in the near future. What's to stop him doing a full Hitler and invading the rest of the Baltic states and even other countries. If it gets to that stage we will HAVE to get involved, so he needs to be shown NOW that the civilised world has red lines that HE cant cross.

If you allow a despot such as Putin - who is starting to tread the exact same line as Hitler - to blackmail and bluff his way to cause inaction by the West, then the chances are he will go on to cannibalize a whole chunk of the Baltics, and Europe. Maybe not now but certainly in the future.

It makes my blood boil that certain weasels on Boards smugly come out with their long-winded prose as to why we cant do anything because of nuclear intimidation. I don't care whether it's a single child or 5,000, action has to be taken when ANY terrified child has such despicable things done to them and is then murdered. We don't allow it outside of war and there's absolutely no reason to allow it within war. I don't know how people can sleep at night when they say it's alright for this abuse to continue. No life is above your own.

Better to die a hero and defender of decency and justice, than a coward without a heart.

It's images like this which make me want to go fight. What we do to each other is horrific, but what has that young child seen in his short life.

Makes me sad 😢

Things getting nasty in the east of Ukraine.

This one could go on for a while with the same atrocities we’ve seen the last few days.

Not good.

I don't think there's anything fundamentally stopping individual EU members from sending whatever they want to Ukraine.

Estonia for example has just sent artillery (https://mil.in.ua/en/news/officially-estonia-has-sent-122-mm-howitzers-to-ukraine/); which nobody else has been willing to send.

And Chechia has reportedly sent tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (https://www.todayonline.com/world/czech-republic-sends-tanks-infantry-fighting-vehicles-ukraine-source-1865126).

I think the only tricky part is that certain military hardware would have been purchased from some third party; and often purchase agreements contain clauses which prevent further export without the seller's consent. So for e.g. Germany had to approve sending certain items from Estonia and Chechia.

You really don't see that you provoked such comments and discussion with your unconfirmed video? Why did you do that? Are you a WUM?

I can easily comprehend things, only I don't want to establish your false claim that Ukrainians mistreat Russian prisoners, what you just did in this sentence and at the same time accused Ukrainians of further consequences of your false claim. You have no proof of it.

And you are right. I don't want to address your false claims because I don't want to confirm them as true by discussing them.

Posting videos from unreliable sources is not helping and I really start thinking that you are doing it intentionally....

I couldn't give a flying **** if you think I'm doing anything intentionally or not quite honestly. But if you want to suggest I'm pro-Putin or support Russia you can go **** yourself.

I posted a video to discuss the potential consequences of Russia's actions in Bucha on the ground; and to just share a video that was being circulated about supposed mistreatment of Russian prisoners.

If the topic of the treatment of Russian prisoners isn't appropriate for a discussion thread about the Russian invasion of Ukriane then what the **** is this thread for? So you can cry about the Polish government some more? Are we only allowed to post as long as the post clearly shows "UKRAINE AND UKRAINIANS ALWAYS GOOD" and "RUSSIA AND RUSSIANS ALWAYS BAD" without any room for any kind of discussion on any topic whatsoever?

No, just discuss things, which happened. This war is complicated enough without your made up stories....
