Some around the world find it offensive. That is a mile from being racist. The OED define it as Ugly, (subjective I guess), Warlike, (Hi Vlad) and/or Maelevolent, (sic).

Take it up with them.

Now. Ukraine.

It has been used specifically in relation to Russians - they have been attributed these subhuman physical characteristics. That's been my point.

Anyway, as you say, back to Ukraine.

Like I said back in the day to that Russian based poster who found it offensive, in the UK, it just isnt.

But anyrate. Ukraine. Getting very cold I would warrant.
 
You can all mock @davek but currently he's the one posting main stream media and not the tweets of the Ukrainian equivalent of Tony Robinson. He has the thread in his pocket.

He's also on the money with Tolkien and his adoption by the modern far right. Quite a few people on this thread have revealed a very dark side to their character in the last few pages. It's very easy to condemn the Russian invasion, devastation and loss of life without resorting to such language.

Would you deem antisemitic terms ok if you condemn indiscriminate Israeli attacks on Palestine? Hopefully not, so why so here?

👍

The linking of tweets from the likes of war games nerd Igor (aged 15) as an argument has been an embarrassment for some.

The MSM are not all great by any stretch, but there are certain levels of accuracy that have to be maintained.

🤷‍♂️
