In which case if they should still be investigated for war crimes if they are going to use propaganda that they are hitting exactly what they want to.

They would, of course, claim that the residential block was being used for military purposes.

And custor would believe them.

I quoted the original poster who mentioned Hypersonic Missiles, keep your froth to yourself and wind your neck in.

All you both did was show your inability to do basic fact checking. Me calling out that nonsense is not frothing, it was an observation that was correct.

So the VDV are now `riot police`? Pretty sure they would disagree at this point

Rosgvardiya were sent in the light infantry role backing up VDV in the first stages of the war.

Soviets could have been aiming for the hospital on the far left

That’s not a military target either, also in war crime territory.

They can claim all they want but that's why an investigation as a war crime should be done. Hence the need to do something about it.

Unfortunately hospitals are not actually war crimes if targeted as per my post above.

It is still a violation of international humanitarian law but nothing really gets done as Russia has basically targeted hospitals in all conflicts its been involved in.

No it's not they're fighting Natzi so for them it's no war crime, that's what they been told.

Tell us you know nothing about nuclear weapons without actually telling us you know nothing about nuclear weapons.

Do you not think it will be a bit late to retaliate once we’ve been hit?
You’re a fool to think that this scenario isn’t a real possibility.

 

[Mr Jack]

You’re a fool to think that this scenario isn’t a real possibility.

Russia isn't launching nukes because we send tanks. It isn't sending nukes because we send jets, or artillery, or any other bit of military kit. It isn't even sending nukes if we send actual British troops to Ukraine.

Nukes are empty barking and nothing more.

Russia will launch nukes when there back is to the wall.

So you want to retaliate by nuking them first?

Or perhaps you think we should just let them do what they want?

Russia won't launch nukes because they know as soon as they do they will be wiped out themselves. You really think paranoid Putin who's too scared of sitting close to people is going to risk getting a nuke dropped right on him?

 

[Mr Jack]

No, they won't. Russia isn't going to end Russia over Ukraine no matter how badly they get battered there. They will launch nukes if Russia - actual Russia not Putin's pretend extended Russia - is attacked and credibly threatened and no sooner.

Russia's nukes are not a threat to any Western country, yet alone one with independent nuclear capability.

Why is it only the UK that is no longer part of the EU (yes I understand we are a NATO member) that openly supports the Ukraine in this way - sending arms?
Germany hasn’t got the stomach for it.
We are no longer a world power or the world police.
We would be better off supporting the Ukraine covertly as I’m sure we already are, even supporting Poland to allow them to support the Ukraine (refugees).

It isn't, dozens of countries have sent weapons, ammunition, equipment, and vehicles to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Germany is the world's second largest donor to Ukraine, and the third largest military donor. You really don't know much about this, do you?

Isn't US sending them the most? Various EU countries are as well.

I'm happy for my UK taxes to go towards sending stuff to Ukraine as long as it helps them defend themselves.

You seem to be saying we should sit back and do less, bit late for that with all the support we've already shown.

Russia losing conventional war on the ground is the best outcome, we should render all reasonable assistance to that end.

Maybe check those 'facts' you've read on a daily express website first before forming an opinion.
