Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

we all know the response… they will run for the hills and we won't see them again until they have another utter nonsense to post claiming this is finally the "Gotcha"……

Rinse

Repeat

Rinse

Repeat…

Meanwhile in the real world, Russia are getting absolutely pummelled on the battlefield, and the Ukrainian imposed 'Death Zone' now stretches 150km behind the front line… now I'm no war logisticiologist, but I can't imagine having no safe space for at least 150km behind your front line is a good thing when trying to get men & supplies up to that front line to just hold it, never mind push on…

Tucker Carlson - the guy who was blown away by the concept of putting a coin in a shopping trolley to unlock it, to then be able to get your coin back by re-locking the shopping trolley…

The guy who was fired by Fox News (literally the easiest gig in town)….

We're not exactly dealing with Barbara Walters levels here…

A French supermarket in Russia wasn’t it 😀

yeh I remember now it was French chain Auchan

which they had to “sell” later that year

edit: it was Auchan hypermarket on Vavilova street

Very true. People could die because of this interview. Even if it was all true (not) this is not the time for recriminations.

If you watch the video she says she has many inside connections.

Tucker has done some excellent videos especially around gaza. Just because people don't like a country doesn't mean they support another. Some people used to dislike both French AND English people.

No response I give will change how hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost in the war... I don't know what you expect from me. I think Zelensky is a tyrant and started feeling that way when he banned poor men from leaving.

» "I think Zelensky is a tyrant and started feeling that way when he banned poor men from leaving."

That's your personal (bizarre) opinion.

The majority of people in Ukraine still support him as their leader. He was democratically elected and follows democratic processes, even during war. They risk losing everything if they capitulate, and they all know this. No one in Ukraine wants to fight, literally no one, but their only option is to fight or to capitulate - and capitulating means losing their pretty much everything, their freedom, their ability to vote, their culture, their language, justice, everything. Everything you take for granted in your safe comfortable democratic free country - they lose, and much more.

Hence they are defending themselves. They are giving their lives so that their kids might have a future, might remain Ukrainian.

Which is 100% the fault of Putin, who has ordered this invasion, who can stop this invasion at any time of his choosing. Which I've never seen any of your posts genuinely acknowledge.

On the contrary your posts here are the direct equivalent of blaming the Polish for being invaded by Hitler, concern-trolling their losses, whilst constantly trying to cast events as their fault.

Yeah, the democratically elected comedian with a popular mandate, free press, strong anti-corruption bodies, charged with defending his nation from an invading neighbour… yeah, he's the tyrant. F**k me sideways, am I really reading this, more than four years into the war that nobody but Putin wanted??

What people want from you is a bit of honesty and integrity. Both-sidesing this war of aggression isn't either of those, no matter how many disingenuous media clips to link to. Also, addressing actual counter arguments made by posters above (and on previous occasions) rather than ignoring them, repeating your contested nonsense, and then disappearing for weeks, that'd be nice, thanks.

If you watch the video she says she has many inside connections.

Claiming something without evidence to back up the claim does not make it so. She has no reliable connections. All of her claims have been debunked by multiple sources. Heres a good one:

I expect you would actually provide a balanced view and put forward your views on Russia, as many posters have asked of you.

And so we are at the crux of the issue with your posts - You blame Zelensky and call him a tyrant yet are completely silent on Putin, who is responsible for sending "hundreds of thousands of lives" you are concerned for to invade Ukraine.

This is what is known as "cognitive dissonance".

It is the mental discomfort or psychological stress experienced when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or attitudes, or when their behavior conflicts with their beliefs

And this is why free and open and democratic societies (take note @engineerws ) have better and more numerous drones

Russian regime more worried about suppressing internet for its population than catching up with Ukrainian innovations

Horrendous overnight attack on the capital. Where is the outrage and condemnation? It was SO predictable that following the 3-day "ceasefire" the Russian barbarians would immediately launch a huge attack to make up for the days missed out on. I hope Ukraine hits back hard tonight because it's the same evil pattern over and over. But still idiots like Trump claim Zelensky is the main obstacle to peace

They shouldn’t be dismissed, but they shouldn’t be taken seriously and their followers should be asked why they take weirdos like them seriously.

Carlson claims to have been attacked by a demon in his sleep for f**ks sake, claims not to have called Trump the anti-christ and denied it again when having been showed a clip of him saying it. That’s apart from all the blatantly opportunistic nonsense with Trump

Rogan must be one of the most gullible people on the Internet, and that’s saying something. In the last month or so he had guests on who think disabled children are psychic.

Unfortunately a lot of Irish left twitter pumps out these unsavoury views while doing crocodile tears by talking about 'peace' and some just come outright with Pro-Russia talking points while pretending to be 'left'.

Something has to be done because I'm frankly tired of this nonsense and don't want it to be run by cranks and misfits.

Unfortunately yes they can be this fcuked up in their thinking. I know one like this, very intelligent but a complete and utter blind spot with regard to this war. Why I have no idea.
