    - “Generous multicultural Falkland Islands are again organizing to aid human tragedy...”

    I say...:
    Do ya..., “Generous Multicultural Kelpers” ever read the Bible...?
    Matthew 6:1-4...:
    - “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.
    If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
    So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others................

    Or..., mayhaps..., the Quran ...?
    - ”There are seven whom Allah will shade on the Day of Judgement…” The seventh being...:
    “…A man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity..........?..........” (Saheeh Muslim [English trans.] vol.2, p.493, no.2248)

    Capisce...?

    Wænk, why are you so bitter and sad? Is that why Argentina does so little to aid other countries in distress? Is that why Argentina has little or no compassion for the suffering of others less fortunate? I know a few Argentine people and they are nothing like you, there is more than a spark of humanity in them. Why are you such a miserable, bitter and twisted example? Your “heroes”, those resting with the General Belgrano and those others at the cemetery in Fish Creek, mus be so proud of you.

    Mr Taenk all you seem to do is quote gibberish nonsense , seek out some professional help, as you certainly need it, at the very least seek a family intervention otherwise a padded cell and straight jacket awaits you,

    Great initiative. I hope you get a greater amount of help for Turkey and Syria than you got for the Nazis in Ukraine.

    Nice first part to your statement Brasileiro, but a silly last part, the Ukraine President is Jewish, and there are less than a thousand Nazis in the Ukraine who have NO power NO influence and are frowned upon by the Ukraine people, i think you need some education,

    @Juan Cervantes

    After you explain to me the Azov Battalion, the murder of trade unionists in Odessa (including pregnant women), maybe I can understand.

    AS i said the number of Nazis in Ukraine is very small, probably far more in Russia,USA and Argentina than there is in Ukraine, also stop believing Russian propaganda, i have no doubt there were some issues like all countries have, this whole madness is down to Putin only and his ego and paranoia who has said on tv that he does not recognise Ukraine as a country, Russia signed up to the borders, and there were no issues until Putin started whipping up Russian nationalism in the border areas, do some genuine research andyou may see the real truth oh and the so called Azov batallion was slowly being eliminated by the Ukraines themselves, no power no influence,

    So why does Nazi Zelensky rule and be affiliated with Pravi Sektor?

    Since 2014 Ukraine has lived under a NAZIST regime that murdered 14,000 Donbass civilians and plunged Ukraine into a sea of mud and corruption.

    There are no more spaces for those who want to do ethnic cleansing on our planet. There's no more room for Zelensky and his mob.

    Thanks for not downvoting my previous comment.

    Brasileiro, are you that blinded with fake news about Ukraine and Russia,

    How the hell can Zelensky be a Nazi, he is JEWISH, you silly man, there were no problems on the borders between Ukaine and Russia until Putin stuck his nose in and whipped up Russian nationalism which was a ruse he used to eventually invade, wake up, its Russia that invaded Crimea, its the Russian nationalists (NAZIS) that are the ethnic cleansers who have drive out thousands and thousands of Ukrainians from there home, Yes some civilians have been killed unfortunately but this is down to Putin, 200.000 plus Ukrainian civilians killed by Putins evil henchmem who have bombed schools shops and hospitals, were do you get this crazy false news from, for goodness sake read up on real information, Russians have also kidnapped thousands of Ukraine children and sent them to so called education camps, didnt an Austrian corporal do that in the 1930s, all the former Soviet Union states and Eastern European countries that were controlled by Russia no longer want ANYTHING to do with Russia and Putin, they know them a million times better than you do,

    The excuse of being Jewish is not valid. Israel's Nazism trying to purge, murder and steal what little land the Palestinians have is clear proof that the victim has become the oppressor.

    Today, Israel has forgotten the Holocaust.

    Brasilieiro, you are talking crazy now, we are not talking about Israel and Palestine, but for what its worth ,Israel has NOT forgot about the Holocaust and neither has the civilised world, nor should we ever, it was pure evil by Hitler, Jewish people despise Nazis, however the Palestinians have been screwed by Israel big time, genuine peace between them almost happened when Arafat was in charge of the PLO, it was so close,
    getting back to your original post, Pravi Sector is a nobody, just a right wing extremist that got a small number of votes, just enough to give him a seat in parliament, he has NO power
    and no influence, there are right wing extremists in just about every country on earth, thank goodness they are small in number, the Azov brigade was all but destroyed and what Nazis were in that brigade no longer exist, it has been completely reformed with no Nazis in it and is now a part of the regular army, this whole bullshit madness is about one mans ego ambition and paranoia, it broke his heart when the Soviet Union collapsed, he was a KGB man,his ambition was to restore the Russian empire and take over countries who have no wish to be under Russia s thumb ever again, if he had succeeded in Ukraine then Moldova was next, he thought NATO was week and would do nothing, how wrong he was, Everything has been planned for years by Putin, making Europe dependent on Russian gas and oil, chipping away at places like Georgia. he all but owns Belarus. Lukashenko is nothing but his puppet, why do countries want to join NATO. because they are scared of Russia and Putin who can not be trusted and lies non stop, so now forget all this Nazi rubbish, (less than a thousand in ukraine) open your eyes and ears and do some genuine research,

    Senor Taenk, you are nothing but an internet Troll, not a very good one at that, quite the opposite, not the brightest star in the sky, you post silly little innuendos that mean nothing. often nothing to do with the subject thread ,you must trawl the net for hours on youtube looking for pointless stories that also mean nothing, any Tom Dick and Harry can make youtube videos, even a silly little child like yourself, Your life must be so exciting (not) now be a good little boy, for your mum and dad and apologise for the racist post you made,

    Estimado Think,

    Eloquently, yet subtly. Comedic, yet serious. Mr. George Galloway has said everything that I think, but that my poor command of the English language does not allow me to express.

    As for talent, I confess that God did not give me the theatrical gift.

    Belíssimo Vídeo. Obrigado!

    Brasilileiro. Senor Taenk is about as funny as gall stones, and nothing more than a childish troll, if you can not see that put some specs on, if thats the best Argentina has got then they are screwed.
