Russia - threadbanned users in OP

I'm not a war correspondent either.I'm having a laugh....sorry☹️

Moscow gangsters firing missiles into a major european city needs a response sorry its a no fly zone with boots on the ground

Russia is at war with the west we ignored all warning signs time to man up

Have a few dealings with one at the moment through work.

Arrogance, importance and superior complex springs to mind every time.

Brazil could start by ending its open doors policy to Russians the same with Colombia. The FT reports that well-educated Russians are heading in the doves to Latin America. Quite a few could well be spooks giving recent funny business with those kinds of educated types.

Even though I would not be a big cheerleader for Boris I will give him a lot of credit for sticking with Ukraine. Despite all the domestic troubles Boris has, he is making it his mission to insure Russia is defeated.

This must be like a dream come true for Boris, he'd like to see himself as a modern Churchill.

Good time for some random Churchill quotes:

If I had been properly supported in 1919, I think we might have strangled Bolshevism in its cradle...

I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.

4 Missile strikes on one video

A Russian friend of mine has been hosting a Ukrainian refugee in her very small flat for the last 3 months, others I know are doing voluntary work to help refugees. Takes a lot more sacrifice than posting tweets of bombs 25 times a day on boards. All are ashamed and disgusted by the war. There are exceptions. Not enough, but they're out there

No doubt Churchill was a bad egg but wasn't he correct that Bolshevism should have been destroyed in its infancy.

While I agree that he’s playing a blinder with Russia, I would disagree that that is “despite” his domestic troubles. I’d be more inclined to think he’s encouraged because of his domestic troubles.

That said, at the moment, the West needs someone that is using as strong a language as he is, so I’m not complaining.

Your posts are utterly dishonest.

This is actually what Churchill though:

There can be no greater mistake than to attribute to each individual a recognisable share in the qualities which make up the national character. There are all sorts of men – good, bad and, for the most part, indifferent – in every country, and in every race. Nothing is more wrong than to deny to an individual, on account of race or origin, his right to be judged on his personal merits and conduct... It is particularly important in these circumstances that the national Jews in every country who are loyal to the land of their adoption should come forward on every occasion, as many of them in England have already done, and take a prominent part in every measure for combating the Bolshevik conspiracy. In this way they will be able to vindicate the honour of the Jewish name and make it clear to all the world that the Bolshevik movement is not a Jewish movement, but is repudiated vehemently by the great mass of the Jewish race.

Still waiting on you to:

Condemning, without any excuses, Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine and the war crimes they have committed there.

I didn't ask if you had bashed Putin at some point, I asked for your opinion on that specific point.

Do you support Western powers in aiding Ukraine militarily to repel that invasion? You say you do, if so, why do you only post here on what you see as the negatives of that effort? Care to share your balanced posts on this subject?

Do you support Ukraine's efforts to free itself of Russia subjugation and align itself with the EU and NATO if that is its democratic will?

You seem not to have even bothered to read what I posted about Churchill but you obviously have formed certain biases about the UK which have nothing to do with this topic and are just venting.

Do you support Ukraine's efforts to free itself of Russia subjugation and align itself with the EU and NATO if that is its democratic will?

You are deliberately quoting Churchill out of context. It's utterly dishonest and I have provided the full context. To suggest he was an anti-semite when he was one of the strongest supporters of the Balfour Declaration is likewise utterly dishonest.

Do you support Ukraine's efforts to free itself of Russia subjugation and align itself with the EU and NATO if that is its democratic will?

If you have already said so, you can refer us to this earlier post.

“We will fight until the end, at sea, in the air. We will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost. We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets."

• President Volodomyr Zelensky, echoing Churchill, in his speech to the House of Commons

It would be rather strange thing to do if your allegation had any merit.
