I know -it’s the legacy of the USSR spreading the people around (deliberately) so they would be United and how Ironic it’s turned out

The irony of course being that your song is about white akrikaan South Africans and it’s the ruling ANC party that abstained.
Agree I’ve never met a nice one which makes it silly I married one and bought a retirement house there.

I can't be sure (no mention of Twitter or visuals) but it would certainly fit your description.That would explain why that explosion reminded me of the Beirut one when I saw it yesterday!

Re. The huge explosion from the Twitter post on here, last night. I presume this is in reference to the same.
"Beirut port explosion footage being mistaken as Ukraine"
https://fullfact.org/online/beirut-explosion-ukraine/#:~:text=Beirut port explosion footage being mistaken as Ukraine
that explosion was in the day time where as the ( one I saw, maybe a different one ) last night was night time.
I did think it may have been the China explosion from a few years ago tho.

It was just a joke post based on someone's disgust at SA stance at the UN today ...............nice to see you analysed it in so much depth

I think a like would be in inappropriate but I do appreciate it's a fluid situation and difficult to match up reality with credibility.bbc reporting 4 powerful explosions now.

Not just alerts. At least 4 massive blasts in Kyiv.

And the point was that while I might be fighting age (when in college, but almost 60 now), with the passport of another country the fight is not mine!You have missed the point entirely -which was about what the attitude of the Ukrainian Guards is -to seeing all these fighting age men fleeing. If I was one and being lectured by the said Refugee as to who paid for his kit etc I’d make damn sure he didn’t get anywhere near the Border.
I’m happy to pay my taxes, have my country use them to supply his country with deadly weapons, but that’s as far as I, and BOTH my countries, are willing to go.
He should be more concerned about the 18-60 year olds on trains fleeing the country with Ukrainian passports, not USA or British!
But, that’s just my view.
