Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Would love to watch but seems it's inaccessible outside the UK as it's BBC. Anyone know if it's been posted on an internationally accessible platform?

Your overlords declared that they destroyed 35 out of 20 HIMARS. So they couldn’t have destroyed what no longer existed. You’re so deep in Russian propaganda that you are drowning, but too clueless to realise it.

I bet he/she feels like a crusade on a holly mission who traveled over seven seas, lands, and mountains to register themselves on this "unknown, never seen before" Irish website that that they didn't know was Irish (.ie) to preach the holly truth about nazi Ukraine, 8 years Bambas dombili, bad Amurica, and so on, only to be amused and shocked how the pagans here are not opened to their messages. Shock shock, horror!

Yanukovych was a Russian agent so there was nothing illegal about getting rid of him. Russia started the war in East Ukraine so it's their fault.

You seem to think that we are a bunch of uninformed gobshytes, probably living with pigs in our outhouses. If you are from the USA as you say, then you are sheltered from the immediate effects of this war. How many Ukrainian refugees are landing on your doorstep for example? Are your children finding it hard to get rented accommodation and paying rent increases as the squeeze comes on your housing market due to rapidly expanding immigration?

In normal times you'll find a bit of healthy scepticism here of US foreign policy but when it comes to the rights for democracy and war on your doorstep, there is little place for the sort of anti US, anti NATO crap you want to peddle. As Europeans, we have watched Russia over the last decade flexing it's muscle and subjugating it's neighbours. There came a point reached last February when enough was enough and Europe and the rest of the 'western world' has taken the pain and backed Ukraine in it's mighty efforts to put the oppressor back in it's box.

So we'll take our news from multiple sources than you very much and make up our own minds. No room for the likes of you.

You bring a smile to my face comrade. Why would we even think you are a re-reg - Then proceeds to peddle the exact same tripe. Like before, I love all the links you provide to back up your claims too. Keep fighting the good fight for your fascist brethren.

You would think they could use a different actor for every occasion in a country of 140 mil, but hey, this is what schizophrenia does, can't trust anyone. 😁

He was certainly pro-Russian, as apparently around half the population of Ukraine were at the time; you know - all those people who voted for him in a democratic election.

By your logic though, Zelensky, being pro-western, must be a western agent, so a coup against him would be perfectly justified. Maybe even a war?

Lol

That was a waste of key strokes.

Let me see you have alternative views on ukraine, would corruption and neo Nazi's be part of that, along with the CIA and Nato, putin was forced to do what he did ???

Whether you call it a 'coup', I call legitimate democratic process.

But what matters is that Russia, in clear violation of Budapest Agreement, threatened economic blockade and consequences to Ukraine if they signed the EU trade treaty.

Under this pressure, and perhaps other threats or inducements from Russia, Yanukovych did not sign the treaty, in clear violation of his democratic mandate and will of the Ukrainian people and parliament, and then brutally suppressed the protests. To state that half the population were pro-Russian is therefore completely false, unless you can somehow be pro-Russian and pro-EU at the same time!

The war started because the Ukrainian people refused to accept Russia's attempts to reduce it to a client state like Belarus, whether through corruption, economic war or outright war. With Yanukovych as the Lukashenko equivalent lapdog stooge.

You need to understand that there is quite a number of nations who already experienced the so called "Russkiy Mir" and 'freedom' that was forced on them, something they never asked for. Many of these countries/nations have the hatred towards russkis for about a century and it is a valid one, and this hatred only got stronger when nazi ruSSia attacked Ukraine. russians as a nation is scum, always were, and will be probably for another few generations. So when a poster comes and peddles the ruSSian propaganda bs to readers from countries that suffered from this before, of course reception will not be welcoming.

Yanukovych was Putin's puppet, he was voted for, but in a system that was heavily meddled with by Russia. When the extent of his corruption was exposed, the Ukrainian people had enough and marched against him. He used special police to murder protesters, police who, like Yanukovych, were whisked back to the motherland when things went south. He's wanted by multiple countries. He was wheeled out by the Russians during the invasion in order to lead their newly conquered territory, but had to do a U-turn when things their third Reich style invasion didn't go as planned.

Its very hard for anyone to defend the Russian position. In broad brush strokes they invaded another country and now millions are displaced and hundreds of thousands are dead or injured. Meanwhile Russian state laughs at the idea of Europe freezing without their Oil/Gas.

In this you have an aggressor and a defender, if you have been following this thread for months now we have had new members posting this "whataboutery" argument, basically saying the reason Ukrainian people are dying is because they won't let Russia take over their country.

I'm sure if someone wants to support Russia on this thread, they would be welcome, but they would need to come up with a strong argument and back it up with creditable sources. They probably would still get a rough time, that's because behind all this real people are dying, lives are being destroyed, the Russians are the reason.

If any Russian soldier wants out, they only need put up a white flag and walk East or get out of Russia before they get drafted. If any Russian soldier wants to stop raping men, women and children they can. Once in Ukraine they are fair game to be shot, and that is to be celebrated, how else can you beat the Russians back to Russia. Whats your solution ?

If you don't know maybe stick to something you do know,

So far you gave us iraq , Afghanistan, CIA,

And Wikipedia.

Seems you have no real interest in Ukraine or the current situation in ukraine for the last 9 months or the last 14 years even,

So your point is what.

Come in here make a post and Play the victim when you don't get the response you like
