Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Sir peace frog]

Seeing this kind of stuff is absolutely surreal, it’s quite alarming how cinematic/video gamey it looks.

as much as i would like this to be true, it's almost too perfect.

The world would be so much better if all weapons wouldn’t have been made

it’s heartbreaking all this , when does war actually stop

Go and look at chimpanzees fighting each other for territory and how they behave and then remember they are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, and we share common ancestry.

It’s never going to stop, it’s unfortunately apart of human nature and after 200,000-300,000 years on this planet, we’ve always fought.

is it just me,im not even arsed about the derby tomo,interest has hit an all time low with this shit show,maybe il get a little excited 5 min before KO,i dont know

Nope not really, bar this happening on the other end my continent, us having a Ukrainian player and so to to us a topical subject along with the possible threat of nuclear obliteration this war doesn't affect getting on with my everyday life or change me wanting to twat the rags 10-0 amymore than the war in Yemen, Gambia, Tigray or conflicts in kashmir, Sothern Thailand and Sino-Indian border conflicts

I know it’s never gonna stop that’s the sad part of it all , death of innocent people nearly always

Then we would beat each other to death with our bare hands.

We are, as a species a preditor

Nah, we’d have been eaten by lions.

 

[Octavian]

Nah, we’d have been eaten by lions.

Going off topic here but yes, without any weapons we wouldn’t be having this conversation and humanity wouldn’t have lasted a few centuries.

 

[1974Blue]

And to think, we’ve been told for over 2 decades that the enemy we had to fear was the EU.…………..

I thought the enemy was uefa, pigmol, tebas, gill and the gpc

 

[Didsbury Dave]

The left think they’re biased in favour of the government, the right think in favour of the opposition.

those of us who are fair weather it kind of shows them to be impartial.

They are impartial and it’s often embarrassing because many issues involving this government require journalism and investigation, not false equivalence.

 

[dachoosen1]

We had conscientious objectors who were forced to work the land of down the pit etc if they refused to fight.

Committing atrocities is a decision it's not a group directive, the "English" you are talking about was circa 300 years ago, since then we have fought under the "British" banner.

No need for the whataboutery here.

The point I'm making isn't defending Russia actions or attacking British armed forces but it wasn't that long ago British forces were charged with war crimes. My issue here is people having a go and judging the entire Russian army for this war. The president of their country is a former kgb intelligence officer not a school teacher he has ordered the imprisonment of school kids and pensioners for protesting the war as well as a 15 year jail sentence for spreading "false news" what do you think he would do to people he would view as deserters? I'm not in their position and I certainly won't judge them.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Not just you. Football is an irrelevance compared to this. Yes, I will be cheering on the team, but it isn't great

It’s kind of the opposite to me. I’m determined to enjoy every small thing because it all feels just that bit more transient.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Worlds fucked , no idea what or if Putin has a get out route, they are going to be isolated for years if he remains in power , Russian economy fucked , honestly reckon he will use nuclear weapons and that will be that .

You’ve got to live your life. Worrying about stuff you have no control over isn’t healthy. The last 2 years have already been a clusterfuck and just as the cause of that seems to be subsiding along comes something else to keep everyone panicking.
What’s going on is awful for the Ukrainian people but spending your days constantly in fear over what may or may not happen is no way to live.
Life isn’t a rehearsal. Count yourself lucky that you’ve been born into a country that isn’t embroiled in a war on your doorstep, that for the most part is safe and the services you require are to a decent standard. Then live a little.
Obviously if the red cunts beat us it’s all been for nothing!! :-)

Humans are genetically aggressive and violent

A new study identifies 40 genes related to aggressive behavior in humans and mice

The origins of the violent behavior are multifactorial and respond to the interaction of several factors --biological, cultural, social, etc. -- which can modify the expression of the human behavior. Now, an international study has identified forty genes related to aggressive behavior in humans...

www.sciencedaily.com

In many ways, being genetically predisposed to killing each other means the most selfishly conniving human genes are the ones that continue as they’re the ones that survive and succeed

Humans Are Genetically Predisposed to Kill Each Other

A new study of 1,024 mammal species has determined which animals are the most vicious killers of their own kind. For the answer, just look in the mirror.

It’s no coincidence that the people struggling with the concept of being locked down in Covid are also struggling with this.

Neither are in our control, so live normally and have as much fun as you can.

I suppose we’re all wired differently but I struggle to wrap my head around people who are living in the U.K. and letting this impact their daily lives in such a negative way that they can’t enjoy things that are meant to be enjoyed.

Yep, if it’s our time, we can’t do anything about it anyway, so no point worrying about it.

Likelihood is that it isn’t and we need to smash the red vermin tomorrow.

The Ukranians job isn't to judge them either, just to kill them.
