Careful now, there's people here who'll accuse you of being a Putin bot unless you call for the annilation of all Russians.
On the one hand but then on the other hand. ???????????????
Poor Russians

This photo first did the rounds over a year ago and was as fake then as it is now, just Google it.
Come on, use your head. How exactly are they going to facilitate credit for loaves of bread, to be paid over 12 months? What happens when that bread is gone in a few days? Is there a massive queue at the till because everyone is signing credit application forms?
A reminder that fake news bullshit comes from all sides, especially on Twitter. Think on it even slightly for a second before posting something. Especially when you plan on using the old LoWeR CaSe uPper CaSe shtick.
All threads can be Spice girls threads if you want.

What are you bleating on about?
It is pretty black and white what I posted.
Blaming every single Russian for this terrorism is not ok.
Saying that this is Putins war, also not ok because a large amount of Russians support it.
The whole Country was founded on blood and lies, Putin being the biggest liar of them all. With communism being the production line for generations of people who were little more than a number in the machine. And bad an all as that was, I still get Russians wishing for it back. Understandable I suppose, seeing what living in Putin's Russia is like for the majority.
Russian planes breaking down has been occurring with greater frequency recently as the spares start to dry up. I don't think that I'd trust flying any Russian aircraft now..... even the ones fitted with Reverse trust , because its not fitted on every aircraft I think.
Because they know what would happen if they did not
Yes, and as time goes by, the Russian holiday destinations world wide will shrink too. Aside from the Ruble value falling, their obnoxious behaviour is making them more and more unpopular everywhere.
The Kyiv post has some interesting articles today, highlighting the fact that the majority of US citizens are against continued funding of Ukraine, and they hold Biden responsible.
There is also a front page article by Gary Kasparov, who really has the knives out for Biden and Obama.

You're quite correct that such a Brit would not be welcome here in Ireland with such a message.
And neither would Ukrainians or their supporters from the 'west' be welcome in Russia with such a message - death to all Russians.
From which logic we may deduce that you are posting from the terrorist state itself.
We will teach you (with destruction, rape, pillage, genocide, paedophilia, castration, mutilation, subjugation, torture,) to love the motherland.
Stay classy Russia.
Edit: just wondering since it is a training centre. Is this really what is being taught inside. Killing two birds with one stone in Putin's Russia.
Russian perspective
Meaningless twaddle.
@SortingYouOut "How exactly are they going to facilitate credit for loaves of bread, to be paid over 12 months?"
Bread police?
Obviously, that's just the Russian nationalist version of a defiant statement more so than anything like a real objective.
I thought that at first too.
But then it is a government training centre.
Yeah, and even the Russian government, or especially the Russian government, have been talking utter shíte on this thing since day one. The level they're at is saying that the Ukrainian government is full of drug addicts and Nazis. Showing a billboard with a highly ambitious version of Ruski Mir is pretty unsurprising.
And the milk sops keep toing and froing about what they will send and what they won't send. Send everything short of nuclear now.
Strange. Ukrainian forces say that they are breaking through defences and finding Russians high on drink or drugs!
War is a bloody tragic mess, especially this one, there are such stories on both sides, as well as stories of reluctant soldiers suffering and committing suicide in the trenches. The shooting of the prisoners legs during questioning has been documented on both sides:
I like to think we are discussing the bigger picture here, the illegal invasion of Ukraine and how the war is progressing. Focusing on such incidents and blaming an entire nation is not logical in my opinion.
There are some good Russians, but when they speak they get imprisoned like this guy, very truthful speech
Finally some news that Ukraine may be taking Roboytne. The approach to that town caused Ukraine so much hassle. It must have been Very open with little cover. Hopefully wherever lies after this town is a little more forgiving.
100% correct, the latest this evening is the Russian central bank is after calling an extra ordinary meeting scheduled for Tuesday morning, theres a talking point that they will most likely raise interest rates again - they raised them by a full 1% only a short time ago, I believe its up to 8% or near that at this stage so another substantial rise will be crippling for a lot of people domestically.
In a rare enough show of inter kremlin \ banking sector bickering, the kremlin has blamed the rubles trouble on the banks soft banking approach and have proclaimed that the bank has all the tools in which it needs to return the ruble to normality in the short term.......looks like the kremlin is setting up some of the countries top financiers for a trip to the Gulags or a trip (excuse the pun) out the top window if the ruble continues on its downward glide path.
Sanctions, much lower exports and an expensive war starting to really hit the Russian economy.
The US and other big western nations are loving this I'd imagine.
In fairness, the Russian forces probably say this about Ukrainian soldiers they've managed to capture as well. Would I be more inclined to believe Ukrainian soldiers who've said it? Yes, I would. However, it is all background noise one way or the other.
Developments at Robotyne are the most significant and encouraging news I've heard about Ukraine's counter-offensive in the last couple of weeks. The flanking operation around Bakhmut appears to have stalled completely, although this is allowing for the fact that a control map is hardly going to give us the latest movements of Ukrainian forces behind enemy lines.
@RoyalCelt
If someone would like to come in and give a bit of analysis on Ukraine's next steps from Robotyne, it would be appreciated.
According to this screencap I just made, there appears to be a settlement of at least as large a size that sits between Robotyne and what I guess is the first main line of Russian defence. Would the fight for this second settlement be as fierce?
I've had first hand experience of their obnoxious behaviour. We took what we expected to be a "quiet" winter break in Sharm El-Sheikh about 10 years ago. The hotel occupancy was 99% Russian and they were an absolute disgrace. They were drunk 24/7, roared and shouted non-stop, had zero regard for queueing and were very nasty to the hotel staff. It was horrendous. We learned a costly lesson about doing proper holiday destination research.
Except that its standard operational practice for Putin's hordes, as has been already proved many times in Ukraine.
Had a similar experience in Nha Trang in Vietnam... absolutely horrible people
