Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[smoker]

Consider that you might be wrong.

Consider that I’m talking to people on a forum that are 95% on one side, the conversation is only going to go in one direction, unless you can find me an overtly pro-Putin poster to converse with.

R@mside and parm can help you there

Head of international relations at HSE university in Moscow on Sky news now Suckin Putin's helmet. God help us

 

[Macho]

He may interpret this as outside nations being hostile and let his wrath go on the French.

Of course outside nations are being hostile, do you think the sanctions were a peace offering?

 

[hardlife]

4% from Russia

Just had a look around some quoting 3/4%

Misinformation man.

 

[woodlebert]

The intereting thing this reveals about you, is that you’re all in on the BBC narrative. There’s no room for grey, eh?

The BBC have repeatedly interviewed Russian state official in the last few days. Is that not representing the grey?

 

[smoker]

I understand that so called democracies are as susceptible to corruption as other forms of government, but to answer your question, no.

Uk = 11
Russia = 136

No, we are not the same

Even if it is edited, it captures the mood of most of the Ukrainian people.

I’m not denying that. Most of the world is with Ukraine, they don’t need to alter things for propaganda purposes.

So do you think what putin done is justified?

Should he have invaded?
As a right winger I thought you would be against communism?

Doesn’t matter how you butter this up Russian forces have stepped the line up that they can’t even see it anymore.

They have invaded a
Peaceful country who wanted to join nato dragging the world backwards.

Left right or central human life is the most important thing here.

I voted leave, I hate the EU, I lean a tad more right but I do not want to see innocent people die in a game of chess.

The west only got involved due to the invasion nothing else if this hasn’t happened it would still be a dick swinging contest between Russia and nato.

And you do recall he threatened retribution on those nations that interfered with his plans.

I haven’t seen those to be fair, but perhaps my critiques might be with framing or line of questioning rather than the interview itself. That is without seeing them of course.

It’s all over at times like this mate. That’s why Germany don’t want to punish one of if not their main import of gas.

Is this source unbiased? Where is it based? Who runs it? What are their political affiliations?

Now is not the time for tone deaf pseudo-intellectual musings when a sovereign state is being invaded. Its clearly a black and white situation. Choose a side.

A lot of assumptions here, I am arguably a Communist for starters.

I think trying to moralise war one way or the other is not an argument worth having, I prefer to deal with where we are and how we can get out of it with all parties finding a resolution.

 

[Gazoliver]

It's a land grab. I reckon Moldova will be next.

Is that realistic though?

 

[West_Winger]

Can the anti-fracking brigade please wake up to this fact

It’s not a fact. We only get 5% from Russia. Other countries are far more fucked though.

What is happenig now is on the back of things that have already occurred, I do not endorse or support invasion of Ukraine, but it is utterly predictable and could have been prevented from our side.

Zelensky is really hammering home the support they're currently receiving, he's playing a blinder here

Your basing your opinion assumption too. Yes we need out of this war. Which wa started by one side they were the aggressor so that needs dealt with ultimately letting Ukraine be the independent country they want to be that can be the only fair income

That is one powerful photo. One kid has a stuffed toy the other a toy gun. I think we`ll be seeing a lot of that over the years. Absolutely stunning image.

Whether its photoshopped or not I think it captures the Ukrainian spirit and resolve.

I think that is the most moving photo I've seen in years.

Yet it's from what I would say was a 'staged' photoshoot in 2016 by the Ministry of Ukraine that was originally posted in a Facebook album. The album is no longer live but that single image has been hoyed on Tw@tter and shared and people are being suckered into false emotions over it.

Look at the military lasses in the pic in link below with full makeup on along with the young lass in the image that moved you. I don't know if it's just some sad fuck posting it for shit and giggles in his own warped world and seeing how far it goes.

Its the wider social media picture that is more frustrating, shopped images and people reposting footage of molotov cocktails from 8 years ago and thousands are believing is as a real representation of now.

It's like those Facebook rumours on a global scale and people will just see the image/video and not read any follow up comments and find out that it actually isn't what they're being led to believe. It's bad enough without having people posting false/misleading crap but that's the world we live in and it's not the first time it's happened in history and won't be the last.
