I get ukraines need for manpower but disappointed they’re going to offer clemency to murderers,albeit singular murderers. We see how well that worked out in despotic Russia. Only this is worse as they’ll have free reign to go wherever they want in Europe including here.
Ukrainian convicts are being offered their freedom in exchange for their service in the war against Russian invaders - including murderers. Those convicted of rape, sexual assault, murdering two or more people, or crimes against Ukraine's national security aren't eligible
The west got lazy. And then started making apologies for countries that wouldn't be classed as western. So much so that practices and policies that wouldn't be acceptable in western societies began to be seen as acceptable to western society.
The tail wags the dog.
When do we start to see the dictatorships and crackdowns on freedoms and the brutality of Russia and China being imposed in Ireland, UK, western europe? Because it sure as hell looks like these are just accepted now as normal behaviour. Wallace and Daly was just the start. Seems to be drip feeding into western brains whilst telling ourselves "it's for peace".
Sure Tiktok is just a bit of harmless fun 😏
It starts with the apologists and continues with anti-establishment cranks* and then the fencesitters whose common retort is "who's to say what the truth is".
*I'd consider myself anti-establishment to a certain degree which really limits my voting options greatly as there is very very little substance behind the loudest of the voices in that arena (my european first preference candidate got 500 votes 😂) . However, I'd worry how some carefully selected and trained agents could easily catch the attention of non-mainstream voters. Needless to say I was relieved that Daly and Wallace didn't get back in but they still got more votes than I would be comfortable with.
Lots of smoke in Crimea
why are Ukraine not hitting other areas with the same ferocity they hit Crimea ?
I doubt most of the attacks are coming from Crimea
UAF caught out again. Think this is the 3rd or 4th time it's happened.
They are hitting other places on a daily occurance but you don't really hear it. The oil facilities are still being hit in different parts of Russia. It's more in the line on Russian local news where it's reported.
It's going to happen at some stage with a F16. They will then spam it ad nauseam.
Is it really a surprise to anyone? The UN is useless because 5 countries have a veto. At least some(maybe all) wouldn’t be a member if they were to lose that veto. So Russia gets away with its evil acts and nothing will ever change.
We have to be frank as well, a lot of non western countries have changed their mindset recently as well when it comes to the west, whether people want to recognise that or not is up to them but it’s because of America constantly using its veto at the UN. They see it as a double standard and hypocrisy, the US rightfully condemning and preaching about the brutality and evil of Russia while enabling and protecting the Israelis in Gaza in all they do. In conclusion the scum Russian regime will continue to get away with whatever it does at the UN and non western countries care less than before thanks to Americas actions over recent months. They have damaged the wests image.
Saw that video. Anymore about that Ukraine train Russia hit that you posted yesterday?
Conflicting reports, but some of the more trusted twitter accounts claiming materials and vehicles on four carriages were destroyed, but other carriages were salvageable.
At least the UAF have been hitting the Russians hard today.
Well least that's good and not everything was destroyed.
Then there's this only today.
May as well rename the US New Hungary or something like that at this point.
Politicians in Russia added themselves as friends to a fake online account that was publishing online, Nazi poems from the 30' and 40's with just a few words changed to the Russian forces. It was started by journalists as a joke to see who would add the account as their friend. Fairly successful endeavour. It was styled as a Z poet account.
what exact date was Trump president up to? Was it Jan 6 th 2022 or what?
BRUSSELS — EU countries today approved a first tranche of up to €1.4 billion in military aid for Ukraine coming from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets, according to four diplomats.The money is channeled to Ukraine through the Ukraine Assistance Fund (UAF), but payments have been blocked by Hungary.However, the Council's legal service argued that Budapest cannot stop these payments because it abstained in the vote earlier this year creating the UAF. The reason allowing the work-around is that the funds do not come from EU taxpayers, EU officials said.

This is what's going to be argued out in lower courts apparently thus delaying any trials until after the November elections.
Its extremely dangerous when the most powerful country in the world is heading toward dictatorship at a rate of knots. There seems to be very little checks and balances to counter the power of a president who decides to go rogue. We could be heading for a very bumpy decade.
take a look at that project 2025 mullarkey, it's proper handsmaid's tale stuff. what's happening in france is great news for russia too, you have to hand it to them, euro and us politics are falling into place for them but at least they're getting pretty exhausted militarily by this ukraine war.
I came across it and its mental yet extremely smart and subversive. This time they have all the pawns in place and they will dismantle the establishment from the inside. They're like a cancer but they won't only affect the US. They're going to have devasting effects all over the globe, from foreign policy to climate change. Humanity is heading for a cliff and people in the States are more preoccupied with aesthetics and which President makes them laugh more. I'd vote for a head of cabbage before I'd vote for Trump.
This is new
Think at this stage there is a lot of evidence that backs this up
What’s the end game though?
Try retake Crimea?
If they can take Crimea they'll have a massive negotiating chip for peace talks
He's either playing the long game as a potential mediator, or he's not the sharpest crayon in the pack
I'd wager he is passing on a message from Putin. Probably backroom negotiations.
They should have started digging a tunnel to Crimea on Day 1
I wonder which Ukraine would prefer if they had to choose - return of Crimea, or the occupied areas of Donbas/Eastern Ukraine ?
Probably both would have a significant Russian population trying to undermine the State
