Current Affairs Ukraine

Russia is sending Ukrainian prisoners of war to fight against their own side, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti has reported. It was unclear whether they were coerced, the Associated Press said.

Ban the Russian language in kindergartens. The DUP in occupied Ireland are fighting tooth and nail to ban the Irish language. Interesting how fascists sing from the same hymn sheet. Always a scapegoat.

This is how I see it

I remember when idlib and Homs were headline news

Good point. Still going on.

I guess unless the Israeli-Palestinian conflict overspill into Syria or Iran/US bring it into play it's not big news anymore.

Eventually this can happen too in Ukraine. Russia are masters at frozen conflicts and then it's just a mayter of time. Who remembers anything of Transnistra or Ossetia for example nowadays?

Russia out with the begging bowl again. What a third rate shambles they have turned out to be.

I think it’s a combination of MSM boredom with long running conflicts (starting to see this now with Ukraine) and a lack of independent journalists in the region to report and verify these atrocities.

Russia and Syria like to to do their butchery on the quiet with no prying eyes.

News is more about viewer numbers, reach, ratings as opposed to quality journalism. They like sensation or to sensationalise.

Vlad 4.0

I think that this is the one that has a nervous need to fidget with his hands.

Nothing like hanging your dirty linen out in public.

That's huge. How close is Vivek to getting selected as the Republican candidate?

I think that the US is definitely backing up now. If Europe doesn't fill in the gap left in supporting Ukraine it's going to leave a very them in a very precarious position.

Unless he's drugged to the gills and had lots of procedures before being put in front of the cameras. The mannerisms though are very peculiar.

Interesting thread regarding Putin's regime needing war to avoid scrutiny at home. Is he the most corrupt politician ever or a mobster pretending to politic.

It’s quite scary, voyeuristic like, how we flit from one conflict/invasion/genocide to the next while it’s people actual day to day reality,

Putin stooge being called out in public. That fella should be locked up.

Russian money being used against Russian aggression. You have to love it, even if just for the meltdowns to follow.

Can we let Kev the rat back to this thread if only just to respond to this...
