    Shame how many needless deaths this will lead to years after the conflict is over

        Dude’s got cancer, apparently. He’ll decide to go out on his own terms; I hope he doesn’t take too many actual humans with him.

            News. Probably BBC as I consume a lot of that. Maybe al-jezeera.

            I certainly don’t maintain a citation list for everything I read just so I can regurgitate pieces for free for some lazy git who’s never heard of Google. :-P

        During Prigos march there were reports the Kremlin were actively calling the few countries they still had some relationship with. So it looked like he was considering escape for a moment.

    I really hope that international support for Ukraine is extended for help with mine clearance after the war.

            Ok, I don’t see it. That’s some conspiracy theory thinking from you.

              I have unfortunately spent a lot of time among certain kinds of nutjobs who don’t want to support Ukraine, and they generally tend to avoid highlighting Putin’s responsibility and sticking to the talking point of “sending weapons is bad”. If you haven’t seen those trends, great for you, unironically, because their hypocrisy is pretty annoying.

          Oh sorry then I apologize. That makes invading a sovereign country not that bad.

            It would be nice if we would be this loud every time someone attacks sovereign country and not only when we don’t like an attacker.

            You can say whatever you want but some people see it as west set up Ukraine to fight their war, commenting without acknowledging that is just ignorant. You know very well that no body supports Putin, just discussing different ideas. Plain old gasliting.

              That’s about the size of it. You can’t even point out NATO war crimes or say that maybe peace would be good for Ukraine without being told (never asked) that you support Putin.

                This guy sure loves to whine about the west, but refuses to live anywhere else.

                Talk about cognitive dissonance.

                  Is there anything else you’d like to attribute to me that I haven’t actually said?

                  Also, I’m not sure that you know what cognitive dissonance means. It does not apply to the scenario that you have concocted.

                You can, just not in a thread specifically about Ukraine. It’s off topic at best and really looks like whataboutism. But I suspect you know that already.
