Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

Quite amazing you can have that crack on with enemy soldiers.
I thought that but then when I thought about it more, most people aren't natural aggressors.

It's much easier and more natural to be aggressive when you're defending something.

Likely those Russians were ordered to invade and they don't want to be there at all. If that were me and my mates and we'd been ordered to invade a country and kill, firstly, none of us would want to be there and secondly if we'd ran out of petrol all we could really do is laugh. We'd be the same.
 
Ukrainians were instrumental in the early development of western Canada..carving out a livelihood on the high northern plain 100 odd years ago wasn't the life for many western europeans. They were given a piece of land and little else....why today Canada now has the third largest Ukrainian population in the world behind the country itself and Russia...
1.3 million here I think?They are fundraising at the moment.
 
They're not allowed in the country so it's moot
She couldn't anyway... she reckons other people should though

It's been one of my pet hates ever since I heard bagpuss demanding people should open their doors to as many refugees as is possible to fit in. I asked him how many he was taking g in and he said none as "it would be inconvenient "

Hypocrisy
Agree. I don't think it's an unreasonable scenario to present to someone who decries the government for not doing more. If there was a scheme to house families or kids fleeing from war I'd sign up.
Financial assistance or physically putting them up?
I'd happily chip in to help

Sure but that dosent mean there isn't a good argument for a wealthy country with thousands of empty properties to house refugees from war
