No one cares dude. Literally no one wants to know if your not tribal or if you know anyone or not on a personal level.
Just stick to the topic.
Yall are acting like a bunch of victims.

Regurgitated opinions from gammon baby news as a response to my post. Brilliant. You realize you are doing exactly what you are accusing everyone else of?Very easy just to repeat what your told as well. Very few original thoughts in this thread.
Some people are definitely very insightful though every cloud has a silver lining.
To me this speaks far more than just regurgitating media rhetoric. But we are all entitled to speak or think how we want too right. To be otherwise is to be more aligned with Putin. The irony.

Speak yes, be listened to... no.
In time of old before social media, everyone knew who the village idiot was, they were not given any credence.
This is what modern times require, independent thinking and analysis.
One country invades another, with massed forces, after saying it would not, and claims it is for peace, then many innocents die in the process.
The peace they spoke of, appears to be propping up an authoritarian unelected ruler, who wants neighbouring countries to reject democracy so his own people don't see it as a goal.
This is not peace under any analysis or critical thinking.
It doesn't matter what other nations think, the invasion is wrong, and should be put right.

Out of everything going on over there why is this the only thing you are focused on?

I’m extremely disappointed with the likes of Maccies, KFC and Domino’s not pulling out.
The guards don't know that for sure and it's time sensitive as well as immensely stressful not knowing whether an attack will happen, I also think it's natural for them to focus on their own women/children before anyone else even if they really ought to focus on getting foreign nationals out first.
Not saying there's isn't racism in Eastern Europe because there's plenty, but the situation is hardly ideal and tensions are high.
It breaks Article 13 of the GC, specifically - https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/applic/ihl/ihl.nsf/ART/375-590017?OpenDocument
This "Public Curiosity" line is what was used by both the United States and the UK when they said that Saddam's filming POW's in 2003 was against the GC - https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2003/03/pows-m29.html
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld" said:
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said:
Those are alongside the Red Cross who also said it violates the GC - https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/icrc-says-pow-images-breach-geneva-convention/3231184
and the Human Rights Watch who also said it did - https://www.hrw.org/legacy/press/2003/03/iraq032403.htm
and it's been widely reported in previous conflicts that filming POW's (by any side) is against the GC - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/mar/25/iraq.martinmcnamara
As an ex-member of the Armed Forces for 22 years who did yearly Geneva Convention briefs, which stated what you can & can not do with POW's, I'm happy with my understanding of the GC. I'm guessing your understanding from the GC briefs you attended (either as a member of the Armed Forces, Civil Servant or maybe as a Lawyer etc) may lead you think otherwise?
They're all franchisers aren't they?

If there’s any truth in that, it’s very big.
It would be the first concrete sign of unrest within the only organisation that could do something about him

I’m not, it was a single post, and it’s something worth mentioning as there seems to be a pattern. These peoples experiences deserve to be heard.
If you see my post history in this thread there has just been a single post on this issue and every other has been staunchly supporting Ukraine.

Not all of them. I’m pretty sure the ones in bigger cities like Moscow and St Petersburg are centrally owned.
But they can always cease deliveries of the ingredients to the franchised restaurants

I don't think the enlisted teachers for the Russian army have had their GC brief...
Only videos I’ve seen are Russian soldiers being treated well by Ukrainians and don’t look like POWs to me.
Also, who actually cares if Russians invaders are being photographed? It’s such a silly thing to be worried about and is a complete distraction. Put pictures of them all up, shame them. In the same way anyone who breaks the law should be treated.
Can't agree more
Just reading his posts makes me laugh. This must be a way how to sway people your way, to get liked and bla bla bla. Seems like i'll have first two of them on my ignore list.And they know that how? You can tell every person coming in via the channel is not legitimate?
- Anyway this boring tedious trip down the Racism route isn't really meant for this thread, so I'll not be posting about this anymore... Moving on!
The Russians aren't calling it a war though, it's a 'special military operation' so they're not PoWs. They're probably lucky the Ukranians aren't labelling them terrorists...
