Wrote "Ukraine" mistakenly for "Russia"?

Apologies-I did indeed mean Russia! i have edited my original comment.

If they hadn't started this awful war the Russian economy would be motoring along nicely. Instead they've made themselves an international pariah, been sanctioned by western partners and spent billions on a pointless war

Interesting reminder from the past

Very telling interview from Russian volunteers in occupied Ukraine. They almost seem confounded/confused that the local population doesn't accept them.

Through the years, countries have been ruled by totalitarian leaders, half of Europe would have at some point or another. Russia still is, so yes there are a group in Russia that condemn this war and hate what Putin represents, they prob stay quiet for obvious reasons. BUt they are a minority, at some point the people of russia will rise and change the regime.

For now we have innocent people in Ukraine going through hell, if Russians want to fight and die, and a lot of them are. Then they should fight and die in Russia. Until then, when someone says "all Russians should die", well I for one won't speak against that, yes that would cause many honest Russians pain and suffering, but while Ukr people are going through a living hell then thats a perfectly acceptable position. Maybe if Russian people had a choice, rule under Putin or attack from outside Russia, that might change the internal politics within Russia.

You see, It does come down to a black and white decision, while Russian people do nothing to change their system, people outside Russia pay the price. So the people of Russia need to know that stance will hurt them. Like they say, you get the Govt (leaders) you deserve.

He deliberately said all "Russian's on Ukraine territory" ( or words to that effect) Not every Russian every where, be it man, woman or child. And that's something I could agree with.

I'm glad that you see this as each persons responsibility. Its every Russians responsibility to go out now and fight to tear down Putin, according to you, I assume you agree.

As to you stupid question, suffice to say I'm not in a position to take a refugee.

101.59 Rubles to the dollar and still sliding.

an impressive graph

How far away are we from Roblox vs Ruble territory again ?

I don't think I heard anyone say all Muslims should die, I never did and I never said all Russians should die either. I just did what you're doing.

in your book Russians can excuse themselves for doing nothing about Putin, so I can excuse myself for not saying anything about people calling for all Russians to die.

You're wasting your time on here comrade, go back home and start a revolution, overthrow Putin and his cronies. How can Russians have any pride in their country when they are the scum of the world. Maybe you can tell us, you're one of them.

While that's true I don't think Ukraine would put HIMARS within 20km of frontline unless they had a very high value target.

But yes every KM is 1km less for Russia's to operate "safely" north of the Azov.

It will be interesting to see how their next advancements fair. Roboytne has proven a graveyard for Ukrainian armour and it's still not liberated but Urozhaine was a graveyard for Russian infantry and it fell.

Every town and village will hold its own set of challenges for both sides to attack or defend based on the variations in the topography surrounding them.
