Not a good news week for them. Tricky situation now.

Yep, Ukraine will be taken "soon" then Putin will find Nazis in Moldova and the same thing will happen again.

He won't stop.

If that $100Billion package doesn't get through Congress then its curtains for Ukraine and the political will in the US to see a continuation of the conflict has deserted them.

It could have been different if the real life nazis in the east of Ukraine - the cut throat Azov Battalion and their fellow travellers - had been reined in by Kyiv.

But they swallowed the EU/Washington/NATO line that they'd get away with their aggression in the Donbas and have had to pay a heavy price for their folly.

The people of Ukraine will have their day when it comes to bringing Zelensky and his corrupt regime to justice.

He is already threatening the same MO used against Ukraine toward Latvia.



It'd be hilarious to see "Disgusting Dave K" called up to go and fight in Europe if Vlad gets his way. He'd be shouting from our trenches toward the Orcs "I'm one of you!"

I'm pretty sure that's been designated a racist term.

Only in Russia. The 2003 English Rugby team were described as "White orcs on steroids" in Aussie; reprinted in full here, and referenced as a complement by many ex WC winners in that team since.

Look, I haven't invaded a country. I condemn Putin and Russia for their invasion. I condemn NATO and their war mongering too...and Zelensky their crooked little puppet. I want an ed to the hostilities and peace.

There's nothing disgusting with my principled position.

What I find disgusting are little 'kin weasels getting off on a real life catastrophe and demanding more fighting and deaths.

No mate. Well before the Ukraine War Tolkien's descriptions of savages and 'subhumans' as Orcs has been called out as racist. Google 'orcs is racist"'

And it is racist for the Aussies to have levelled that at England.
