Disclaimer & comment rulesIt's to be expected from an indoctrinated bully population raised to glorify war and see the warring of nations as a prowess and a virtue, when the opposite is true. War is just an extension of our primitive egotistical mind. What is truly a challenge of hard work and dedication to the collective intellect and to moral character, is to create a world that has left behind wars and the belief that one country knows better than an other country how to run a civilization. ... Tragically for our planet there's always one that has to ruin it for the rest of us, and that 'one', for some reason and for the last century, seems to always be speaking usually English, and sometimes French or German.

I can only admire those who have gone for to fight Russia which in XXI Century as re-created wars of the XIX century or before but with nuclear weapons threat.
Mar 21st, 2022 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those who have gone to fight the invading Russians are upholding the word and the obligation of England given in 1994 which is now being ignored, at least we are helping them but that is not enough when Ukraine became neutral and gave up its nuclear weapons (3rd largest stock in the world) and its fleet and kept only 20K soldiers WE DID NOT DISCHARGE OUR OBLIGATIONS and we found weasel words to get out of what we signed. We allowed Russia to invade an unarmed neutral state in 2014 and to steal Crimea and THAT only served to wet the Russian appetite.
UK and USA who signed up to guarantee Ukraine's borders/ territorial integrity should send in entire armies of vulunteers dressed in Ukrainian uniforms (as Russia did when it invaded) well armed and supported to fight the Russians, and doing this we will be discharging our word which we should have never given (John Mayor) if we weren't intending to keep it.
Firstly any serving britrish soldier that goes AWOL would be arrested for what ever reason he went AWOL.
Mar 21st, 2022 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Secondly doubt that we will see any evidence that he actually made it to the Ukraine.
Thirdly you will have to be nuts to go there as the Russians are slowly taking out bases with stand off missile strikes, the Yavorov base comes to mind completely destroyed and only 12 miles from the Polish border.
Lastly people under estimate the reach of Russian Intel, they have had people there for a long time and know where bases and munition dumps are
bushpilot, quote:“You turn rats into victims..”. And you are not a rat, just made many, many, many mistakes right?.
Mar 21st, 2022 - 10:50 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Livepeanuts, The russians does not recognise Ukrainian sovereignty over Crimea, they have no doubts about russian sovereignty and believes there is a people there with self determination rights that have choosen to become part of Russia in a referendum. I dont believe that, but you do, Im amazed that you fail to support them beside your fascist ideology of consider russians as an axis of evil. Do you see crimeans being evicted or being oppressed by Russia in any way while they are kept under russian sovereignty?. Are the people in Crimea fighting the russian invaders?.
There is no doubt that Russia is the agressor here, no matter if 14000 people were bombed in Dombass for being pro-russian or the continual nazification of Ukraine in a coup de'etat and the elimination of the russian language from Ukraine. The internal affaires of Ukraine should have been resolved by Ukrainian. Now, comming from you guys that wants to respect a “word” while you have invaded like what?. 20 nations in the past 50 years?. Oil is comming out from Iraq by British Petroleum!!!!.
At least, Russia have what it takes to do it alone. Not like you, that invades in coalitions supporting in many cases, terrorist groups. I didnt saw Iraqians receiving you as liberators!!!!!. Quite the contrary i would guess. Did your media showed you the thousen of civilians dead on british or american bombs?.
If you think that you are the good guys and the russian are the evil, you will find yourself being indoctrinated in the same way hittler told its people the jews were the evil!. I dont know how else to put it, making an aversion to all russian will not makes you the good guys, it will makes you the stronger. The world had not stopped from eating in MCDonalds becouse you abused of many nations becouse MCDonalds have nothing to do with wars. Stop becoming nazis!.

Mar 22nd, 2022 - 04:31 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Well, according to Margret Thatcher ‘the English-speaking world had been responsible for most of the successes this century’, and ‘In my lifetime all the problems have come from mainland Europe, and all the solutions have come from the English-speaking nations across the world,’
Can’t argue with that, Huzzah!!!

Referenda have to be free and fair to have any meaning, in Crimea only the Russians voted, although not that it would have made much difference admittedly.
Ukrainians and Crimean Tartars can tell you all about being oppressed/dispossessed by Russia in Crimea, that’s much of their history.
Remember that most of the Russian population in Crimea is relatively recently arrived, one might almost say ‘implanted by a colonial power’.
‘14000 people were bombed in Dombass’, ‘continual nazification of Ukraine’, elimination of the russian language from Ukraine’.
All Putin’s propaganda, a tissue of lies.
You probably haven’t noticed, but when you see news reports from Kiev people are usually (but not always by any means) speaking Ukrainian. People in the reports from anywhere in the east are almost always speaking Russian.
It is the Russian speaking Ukrainians, both ethnic Ukrainian and Russian, that are being killed whilst fiercely resisting being ‘liberated’ by the Russian Army.
‘Russia have what it takes’, really??? To do what??? Massacre unarmed and defenceless civilians, we know that, saw it in Chechnya and Syria.
Not going so well for them on the military front though, is it???
So next stop chemical weapons, just like in Syria.
I suppose you’ll defend that too.
Pugol-H, quote:“‘Russia have what it takes’, really??? To do what??? Massacre unarmed and defenceless civilians, we know that, saw it in Chechnya and Syria.”.
Mar 22nd, 2022 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse -2You are saying that in Iraq, there was not a Massacre of unarmed and defenceless one millon civilians?.
How many people massacred Russia and how many people Massacred the coalition on the 10 years invation of Iraq?. We are talking of Massacre which is disgusting, but for you, if its done by Russia they are the axes of evil, but if its the coalition, its just a mistakes.
I guess the evil Russians have still 10 more years of ocupation, 1 millon more of victims and its natural resources being ransacked for other 10 years to be equal with the damage the allies made on only one nation, in 2003. And i mention only Iraq, for not mentioning Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, nations which sovereignty and laws meant nothing to NATO.
I dont defend Russia, They have no legal argument to be there. But you are so brainwashed to believe that the russians are the evil for not respecting Budapest Agreement, while you dont respected the minimun law when invading Iraq for 10 years.
The RUSSIAPHOBIA must stop. You are getting to a point of hate against russians that will makes your nations eventually to seek ww3. Non western nations are put within a new axis of evil list. You think you are more advanced than hittler that convinced its people to be superior. No matter how rich your nations are, people are manageable and many times ignorant.
Rats? Rats hide until no one can see them so they can go and do their dirty work. Sort of like US NATO and UK gradually encroaching around Russia until they ended up pushed Ukraine into a war with Russia while acting like they are totally uninvolved. Lying pieces of... You are ruining the world. If you cared so much for the Ukrainian people instead of gearing up to send money and military equipment, you would have done what was necessary for Russia to not invade. God knows you had plenty of opportunity. But as always, that's not what you wanted. Just like negotiating with the Junta in 1982 in order for them to get off the islands was not what you wanted either. You wanted war. Because you use war, you move forward and thrive with war. You fuc... bast... are going to get us all killed, because when all is said and done what comes out in the wash is that you are stupid. Human beings are stupid.
Mar 22nd, 2022 - 06:56 pm - Link - Report abuse -2The U.S. and the U.K. are responsible for Putin's aggression.
Mar 23rd, 2022 - 04:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Putin didn't bring NATO to his door step all by his beady-eyed self. He's a dove really.
Can't understand why his neighbors would want NATO over such a great guy like Putin.
NATO bad! Putin good! Alexander Betts good!
U.S. is ruining the world! Said by the guy that's living the high life in the U.S.
Go live in Russia then. Go live in China then. Go live in Iran then. They're the true good guys. Should be a regular paradise for you.
U.K. bad! Why don't you protest against the English by refusing to speak any more english.
Do your part for world peace.

Mar 23rd, 2022 - 04:25 pm - Link - Report abuse +2I told you, I have spent time amongst Russians, they are not evil, very likable people actually.
Putin however is evil and yet you defend him to the hilt?
At no time in Iraqi, Afghanistan or anywhere else did coalition forces deliberately destroy a city with the population kept trapped in it.
Once again you seem to have no answers to the points put to you so you divert to Afghanistan, Iraqi but no mention of Chagos this time, must have slipped your mind.
Syria??? No not us, that’s Assad, Putin and the Iranians.

‘done what was necessary for Russia to not invade’.
Man you really are out of it, aren’t you.
No one in Europe is going to agree to Putin re-occupying Eastern Europe and restoring the Iron Curtain.
Europe and indeed the world (well, most of it anyway) has moved on since then, a long way.
‘negotiating with the Junta in 1982’, what are you talking about???
Never happened, the British did not and had no intention of, ‘negotiating’ with Argentina.
Argentina either withdrew from the Islands, immediately and unconditionally, or it was a shooting war and that was made quite plain, no one could have had any doubts.
