Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Sorry that's , Jewish Nazi drug addled wiccan Ukrainians if you please , 🤔

But don't worry cause they've all become soft ,pluralist western leaning liberals so they won't last more than a few days against the mighty Russian traditionalists ... Oh , well , ahem ...

Many of the people who support loons, actually set their beliefs and principles on what the loon says.

If one of these loons made a speech today that George Soros conspired to invent the moon by launching a big ball cheese from an EU cheese mountain into space, the supporters would be on here tomorrow giving out and telling us why said loon is the only one talking sense about the waste of launching cheese into space when there are starving people in Africa.

Lack of street marches in Russia in support of the 'special operation' is very telling.

I quoted an article in good faith. At no point did I say it was the "best source".

If you can relay information from elsewhere that you don't class as "rumours", and shouldn't be "just ignored", then please do tell us. Otherwise don't deride what other posters share, and keep your sarcasm to yourself.

Probably the regieme isnt organizing "spontaneous" protests for fear of them getting hijacked by an anti-war agenda ..

Or could it be that ordinary Russians are now so terrified of showing any kind public opinion, thinking that they might be mistaken for an opposition march and arrested, facing fines and 15 years prison? When you see an elderly lady being arrested for holding a daffodil on the street, that's the kind of paranoia facing anyone who "steps out" as it were. You would be nearly afraid of holding up your hand to stop a taxi on the street in Moscow at the moment. Of course, it could also be that a majority do not support what's happening in Ukraine, but I doubt that, at the moment anyway, but even so, there has to be serious doubts creeping in about the Govt narrative.

Something very heavy went overhead about half an hour ago. Nothing on flight radar 🤔

Any sign that the 155mm howitzers have entered the battle yet?

We've got Conor McGregor....

I've heard that even pro Putin and pro war protests and marches are banned in Russia, as the authorities are terrified of any type of street demonstration (they think that if they allow them, this would immediately embolden anti Putin and anti war people to take to the streets). We're talking about a Grade 1 dictatorship, nothing spontaneous is allowed.

A small slip of a scalpel is all we ask!!!

Really? No-one else has commented on my posting style so I'll continue to post in that manner.

Although I do notice you picking multiple fights in true keyboard warrior fashion so maybe reflect on that first....

not to mention a chunk of the Baltic landing fleet sitting in the Black sea, pre-invasion.... there was a reason for those live firing drills off Ireland, to see what sort of reaction it provoked....

unless sunk, those assets will be going home at some point (via Ireland?)

Style? There's no style to be gleaned from trying to be a smart arse in being condescending towards others.

I don't pick fights. I defend myself against clowns like you who are constantly sniping at posters, when others would maybe shy away. There is a difference.

I've nothing to reflect on. I'd suggest you enrol for some forum etiquette lessons. And buy some sticking plasters as you're likely to cut yourself on the sharp edges of that sarcasm.

Now I suggest we get back to the thread topic, unless of course you want the last word? Experience has shown me that your sort usually do.

The Irish Government turned down a request for a Russian V day rally at The Phoenix Park Papal cross in Dublin.

Those Russians in Ireland have some neck expecting this to happen.

Especially at a religious site in a neutral country. Some nerve.

They are guests in this country. They need to show a little respect or bugger back to Russia.
