Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Putin is absolutely winning the proxy war imo - lots of people in other countries are all turning on each other over this.

I'm seeing a narrative starting to form more and more online that the west are over stepping the mark due to previous wrong doings and colonialism.

Watch this space, as this conflict is going to start getting spicy.

Even if the west has been 'over stepping the mark due to previous wrong doings and colonialism.' and we agree/argue that, it doesn't justify Russian actions.

If anything good has come out of this thread it is the names posters are calling each other.
Twatbanana is my favourite one so far.

SWP has some great ones. Mouth breathing cumstain is one I've seen used in the past.

Oh for simpler times. When we could call each other smelly bastard and spineless ****.

I hope the ICJ charges putin with war crimes within the week, and promises to arrest the **** the moment he steps outside of russia

We need to charge the full chain of command with war crimes, so that they all know the consequences they’re facing. Basically a re-run of the Nuremberg trials.

So Putin takes Ukraine ends up in a guerilla war in the cities and all the time his money is disappearing, within months he will have nothing to help resupply, what the fuck will he do then?

So why are people arguing for the west to over step the mark again?

Sending any sort of boots on ground, trying to deny air space and I would also argue fucking the Russian people over (some of them whom would have been proestors) is overstepping the mark.

Our actions should have been targeted at Russian military and oligarchs.

There is no justification for Russias actions, but we need to find a solution that does not make the same fucking mistakes we have now done for decades.

Putin has been clever here.

There is nothing remotely clever about whst Putin has done. To characterise it as such is insane.

 

[hilts]

Putin has been clever here. Building up nuclear energy and plotting while the West grovels to a tantrum throwing Swedish teenager and plant eating hipsters.
Luckily for us, his army is useless other than bombing civilians from a distance.

Maybe retire in the South of France

Whatever you're smoking, send me 2 cases. That's some good stuff!

Back to reality...

There's been an unprecedented, united, unanimous response from western democracies condemning Russia's invasion of The Ukraine. Hell, even historically neutral Switzerland has joined in.

Yeah, but on the other hand, I've seen several Twitter accounts that joined years ago but posted their first post in the last few days who are strongly in favour of Russia. So it's hard to tell.

I definitely see a concerted effort to convince Indian and African people to come down on the side of Putin. This is possibly happening elsewhere too, but those are the ones that are in English so I can actually read. Whether this is an organised attempt, or just individuals from those countries giving their honestly held beliefs, it's unclear. Certainly Indian Twitter has a record of jumping on anyone who criticises the current government on any issue whatsoever.
