Is Russia a real country? Putin's twisted imperial logic: The (many) historical claims on Russian lands - Euromaidan Press

Named and shamed and sent to the Hague..d.

The Russian team identified behind the programming of the missile strikes in Ukraine.

Innocent pixie looking tech heads on them.

( Also another stat on Russia life. Any myopic children are left out in the cold to die hence nobody in Russia wears glasses. May or may not be true.)

Testimony of one of the 108 Ukrainian women recently exchanged. And people complain when I refer to them as orcs.

An absolute hero. What they went through in Azovstal, I can't even begin to imagine

Again...

All too young to know what war is from the look of it. Sure the houses are all deserted right, its grand. A whole life ahead of them to live in the Hague or be lifted into the Kremlin palace.

Russia calls for UNSC consultations on “dirty bomb” threat

Very unlikely with all things considered. Doesn't benefit anyone.

The Orcs mined two of the reactors for jollies.

It doesn't have to benefit anyone to make sense. Good old pettiness and spite will do, causing Ukraine a massive and long lasting problem as punishment for resisting, humiliating and defeating them would more than suffice for a POS like Putin and his cadre of evil. You only have to look at how he's disposed of critics and enemies like Alexander Litvinenko or the dioxin used on Viktor Yushchenko.

It makes Orc sense.

this is what Russians are reading today

The "Orc" craic you use is cute, but it doesn't really make much space for rational thinking when you turn a real war and geopolitics into a LotR fantasy.

If we put the battle for middle earth to one side for a moment, we can see that real world repercussions are still taken into account when humans (not orcs) are in the mix. Putin is one mad man who has taken his country's armed forces on a rampage across another country, it is wrong and he won't prevail in the end. Saying that, your comparison to every single individual human on that side as an orc, is about as small minded as small minded can be.

A melting radioactive mess that close to Russia serves no purpose at all. The environmental and health consequences on both sides of the border would be tremendous.

i tend to agree, it makes light of the myriad issues also, are we calling the Ukrainians Elves or hobbits now?

I know plenty of Russians who wear glasses, so I doubt very much the truth of that statement that Russian children were left out in the cold to die because they were myopic. And while I was lived there, I never heard of that.

This isn't just an army fighting another army. The Russian army is extraordinarily unprofessional. They are systematically pillaging, raping, looting and destroying Ukraine. It's not just a few isolated cases, we know from countless reports and footage that these soldiers have horrendous discipline, are constantly stealing household items, vandalising everywhere they occupy, living in filth, brutally violent, murdering pets and even people for fun, often drunk. It's completely understandable the Ukrainians have a negative term for them.

I'm not denying any of that, these atrocities are happening and the Ukrainians on the ground have every right to call those who commited them whatever they want. Not every Russian soldier falls into the same category as the rapists etc. that you mention.

The overuse of the term here is tiring though, and it is often used to describe Russians as a whole, not just the military. It seems to serve no purpose here other than a big foam finger.
