Sometime you need to laugh even when it's grim...

Follow intelcrab on twitter if you want good coverage of what's going on, he's been great since this all started at the turn of the year.

His pinned tweet shows a border guard north of Crimea caught on webcam seemingly running away from his post and looking alarmed, it's thought to be the very moment the Russians launched their attack.

I don't have an issue with posters taking that side, and claiming Putin's views on NATO are a contributing factor to why he went and invaded the whole of Ukraine.

What I have an issue with is portraying that as perfectly understandable, heck even reasonable, and something NATO and a Sovereign nation making its own choices willingly provoked. Or could/should have avoided.

If anything they avoided for over half a decade, and he Still went and invaded them.

That stance is not some alternative take intellectual balance to the discussion, it is not even shades of fucking grey to a highly complex situation. It is just pedsntic apologist wisearsery.

But literally no-one is suggesting this. Bizzare.

Next step is disabling them? But as others have rightly pointed out it stops people getting information.

Surprised they haven’t tried to bomb that convoy to slow it down

Its been stationary for at least 24 hours, not sure how you would "slow it down" ?

Reports that some vehicles have broken down, seems unlikely that such a convoy would be stopped by a a few breakdowns.

You must have skipped some 20 odd pages.

Can't be asked searching back, the thread is cyclical, it'll come up again.

Just need to block the Russian versions of Netflix and Amazon Prime and Putin will have a full scale revolution on his hands
