Russia Invades Ukraine

Ukrainians are white. they'll be waved straight through, as they should
And Russians. dont believe the propaganda, Ukraine, and NATO, are the true aggressors here, and any Russians fearing for their safety should be granted asylum.
 
Those pregnant mums and 3 day old babies can be very vicious and dangerous.
All them bloody babies might grow up to be *smile* Ukranians that just hate Russians n want to kick the crap out of them. Better to eliminate them before the little buggers get started.
 
Depressing take of the war from Konstantin Kisin of the Trigger boys:
 
Probably not the best thread for sarcasm - be respectful with your positing
Biting satire, as used by myself and others in this thread and on this forum in general, has always been used by activists to assist others to see why they wrong.

Ukraine not joining NATO.
Is it me or is there a backroom deal here?
NATO membership is provocative and destabilising. So there is agreement that Ukraine isn't not invited.
But countering Russia is necessary. So could the deal be to arm the Ukes to the teeth?
Provide Ukraine with huge volumes of high tech weapons, now and ongoing.
Ukraine is independent and supported.
The Taiwan model.

All parties win, the US aren't drawn into a war, NATO members keep their peace, Ukraine has support and the military industrial complex makes billions.

remember EU membership is being fast tracked.
There is a will to include Ukraine, just not at the risk of world war

Good old Arnie.

Edit - posted a twitter link which isn't appearing for some reason. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about his love for Russia but his opposition to the war.



What a great man. Such a shame the US Constitution doesn't allow him to be President. He could save the Republican Party from the Trumpists, save the US from itself, and lead true global action on climate change. If Arnie is not a great American, I don't know who is. He is a shining light of what that country is supposed to be about.

That "realpolitik" approach of Putin because NATO is "threatening" him is working out real well


You do realise nobody said Putin's reaction was correct, just that realpolitik provides insight into why he is acting the way he is.

Realpolitik does not take into account when actors f*ck up, which Putin seems to have done.

Tragically many people are dying as a result of Putin's actions which were contributed to by NATO.

All in all a mess, shows that cornering a dictator is generally not a good idea.
