As ever, there's always one person to blame from being a fridge perv to spreading (deserved) hatred to Forest Green, it's...

Why do you struggle to post links?

I asked you yesterday the post you made. Did you copy and paste it or was it in your own words and you haven't responded still.

Thanks.

Your posts all do have a Russian slant on them tho mate.

I mean I checked out that Garoman dude and he seems to post "from both sides", he just posts what he finds, but you always seem to post the pro-Russian stories. I mean thats ok, we cant all think the same, just something ive noticed.

I think it's important to find out what is going on. If I only read one side, be that pro Russian or pro Ukraine, I wouldn't get a full picture of what's happening. It goes for anything like Palestine now. I think all information should be looked at, with a critical eye, otherwise you get an imbalanced view of the world.
The thing about certain blogs or Twitter people is the wide spread of news not covered by the MSM. I've always found more information is better than less.

Guardian:

Russia’s representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, has gone as far as saying the intensified battles in the east signified a new stage in its campaign and it means the Ukrainian counteroffensive is over.
“Russian troops have, for several days now, switched over to active combat action practically throughout the entire frontline,” Nebenzia told a session of the UN security council. “The so-called Ukrainian counteroffensive can therefore be considered finished.”
But in Washington, the national security council spokesperson, John Kirby, agreed the Russian action amounted to a “new offensive” – showing that Russia was in no way ready to give up its campaign – but said was confident the Ukrainian military would beat back Russian forces.

250 pound munition accurate to a meter, with hundred-mile range? Yikes. Nice SAM battery you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Guardian again....

Kyiv has reported “heated” fighting with non-stop “assaulting” from Russian forces as the attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka continues into its fifth day.

Speaking on Ukranian television, Vitaliy Barabash, head of the city’s military administration, said: “For the fifth day already, the enemy has not stopped either assaulting or shelling positions around the city, “It is very heated, very heated.”
According to AFP, Barabash also claimed that Moscow was deploying “more new forces” to the area in an attempt to “surround the city”.
Describing the situation in Avdiivka, he said: “There is certainly no silence there at all. Shooting battles continue, both from the north and from the south of the city.”
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Kyiv was holding its ground in Avdiivka, but Moscow claimed it had improved its positions there.

The question now has to be: is the Ukrainian counter offensive over and a new phase of Russian offensives in motion...

Top Ukraine general says fighting in north-east has ‘significantly worsened’​

Fighting along the northern section of Ukraine’s eastern front has significantly worsened in recent days, with dozens of daily assaults by Russian forces, the commander of Kyiv’s ground forces has said.
Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was visiting troops in the area, said Russian forces had regrouped after suffering losses and were attacking around the village of Makiivka and towards the city of Kupiansk, according to a report by Reuters.
“The main objective of the enemy is the defeat of a grouping of our troops, the encirclement of Kupiansk and to reach the Oskil River,” he said in comments carried by an official military platform.
He also said that despite the Russian attacks, Ukrainian troops had been ready and were holding their ground.

Absolutely nailed it here.

Absolutely nailed it here.

Indeed. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so blood-boilingly hypocritical and self-serving. Yet, by the same token, we have Ursula ignoring the deliberate cutting of energy and water and the destruction of civilian instructure in Gaza while identifying the very same activities in Ukraine as war crimes.

I expect Putin to be a savage. I expect Von Der Leyen to be a defender of human rights. What we are seeing are two sides of the very same coin. A debased currency.
