I am afraid when the Ukrainian president told the public to arm themselves he unwittingly gave a green light for Russians to rightly or wrongly consider them legitimate targets. I felt at the time it was a rash order or request, one that could easily be used against none military personnel by their enemies.

For real????

What would you have them do, bend over and take it?
They are bombing them because thier forces can't move without mass casualties, it's what they do, it's what they have always done, regardless off what was said, this would have happened.

Stop making BS excuses for Putin!!

For all their losses, they’ve decimated local infrastructure and most military bases. So much for them having few long range missiles.

Yea, I was a bit :confused: when people were on about the Russians having run out of missiles already after a few days of fighting. You have to be aware there's propaganda from our sides reporting just as there is on the Russians, though theirs is on a whole different level of ridiculousness!

Not quite, as no-one is actually believing the BS coming out of Russias mouths, like "it's not a war" or "Ukraine was going to nuke us so we're just defending ourselves " or the multitude of other farcical statements :p

'(Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that it was counting on China to help it withstand the blow to its economy from Western sanctions, which it said had frozen nearly half of its gold and foreign currency reserves.'

It’s so funny they talk about these hotels and illiegals as if they know anything.

Ive worked for the home office at one of these hotels these guys like to moan about.

Every single person man woman AND CHILD, is documented and here seeking asylum. They are there and being housed by the home office. If they were illegal they would not be there as they would not be documented. Don’t get me wrong there are mistakes made though.

The other thing wrong is that there are women and children. We had entire units devoted to housing them safely and separately.

The only problems we get are from daily BNP van visits with the usual idiots.
The refugees themselves are generally no trouble at all.

Didn’t realise Putin was in the front lines. Suspect it soldiers targeting enemy soldiers … or the fear of where enemy soldiers could be. Like every other war…but with more ********** and smart phones.

edit-wow ********** is auto starred. Safe space much.

I hope it isn't him making excuses for Putin... you'd hope some one connected to the Western world with (mostly) unfiltered internet access could better educate themselves than that.

It's hardly making excuses for what Mr. Putin is doing, is it? It's perhaps like I am planning a bank heist and hear that Barclays and their competitors cashiers and staff are now told to carry and use firearms against the threat of robbery. I will plan the heist with the assumption Mrs. Smith on till four is packing a piece under her handbag and take her out on the way to the vault. She may get me first, but she's put herself in direct risk of being killed, whereas without being armed she may just have had to watch the vault being plundered.

By telling the Ukrainian people to arm themselves and use deadly force against the Russian invaders the Russians are legitimised in treating civilians as potential combatants. Difficult call for the president, tough call if you are a pacifist with a bible under the pillow and a Russkie assumes it's a Colt .45 you are gripping...

Quite, how many Ukrainians can you get in a two up, two down if you REALLY try? Camp bed sales hit new heights! Crazy Ebay price war puts graphics cards in the shade :)

Plus, cue new cautioning car stickers, "A Ukrainian may be for life, not just Easter".


How do you, (or even can you), evict them if things don't gel? Do they have rights of tenancy? It all sounds typically ill thought out.
 
Yes Chris, that isn't why missiles are hitting hospitals, they are not mistaking a bed for a mobile weapon platform.

You have exceptional odd views, they tend to be skewed so far from the median as to make them seem almost nonsensical. I find your points so heightened to division and casual disregard to live to ponder is it an act or are you forthright in these beliefs in life too
