Current Affairs Ukraine

All war is wrong. All hatred of our fellow humans - including some of our players- is also wrong.

Life is way too short but there is a very long eternity ahead of us. Can we not just be tolerant of each other. Criticism is fine but hatred and killing is disgusting.

From what I've seen the Belarus lot are supposed to open up a new front aiming to take Rivne. Can't see that going very well if the Russians can barely reach Kyiv.

We should bomb Belarus, like straight away if they set foot in Ukraine. Show Vlad what we are about

Yea, seems like Lukashenko's grip on power and control of his population is a lot more tenuous than Putins.
Also, I'm not sure but I doubt Belarus has the same media blackout levels as Russia.
He knows well that he's throwing his grasp on power in to doubt if he goes in, it's why he hasn't so far.
I don't doubt Putin is pushing very hard for it tho.

This is very interesting and I was wondering about the context of these bans. I want to believe Zelensky is acting on good info in this time of crisis. Would be weird if he was trying to politically maneuver at the same time fighting a major war.

I'd like to think he's working on knowledge - make no mistake some can look odd, but a lot more to do with who the people behind the party are, rather than their alignment.

The above-mentioned pro-Russian party's current pro-Russian leader used to be right leaning in his previous party, then again pro-Russia before that... Just because they're currently leftist doesn't mean anything tbh.

Plenty of Belarusian people fighting to stop this happening, they have been preventing supply lines to the Rus invaders for weeks now.

I really have my doubts about that claim - it would be easy to prove with satellite footage of trains not moving, delays to other train movements etc (passenger services for example). Not sure I've seen any of that proof presented, TBH.

I’ve seen it confirmed by the Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya today. Not so hard to believe that a population that have been desperate to get rid of Lukashenko for years would do this though is it?

Now now I protest the corporate take over as party of the socialist party. I've a bit of fight in me. Like the Irish who defeated the UK a few decades ago after the occupation, mass genocide and all else of our people.

This didnt happen, The Irish bow to our Queen.

Ah ffs. We respect your right to have a monarchy, your choice. I don't understand it. However we are republicans which means anyone can become President regardless of breeding, wealth, once one is an Irish citizen.

I think you are on a fishing exercise and maybe I have been hooked

It only seems that way cause I am the minority. Plenty of jokes and insults abound in here but because its an echoe chamber where everyone agrees its not seen as trolly. I disagree with Putin and his war but imagine I was pro Putin. Could I claim people are trolling me joking about Putin? People have been winding up Kev no end. In mass. He's the one banned.

I'm one of the very few in here condemning crimes against the world and humanity. From Putin and the USA and puppets and I'm getting pelters. Cause its overwhelming and I'm trying to add some light-hearted stuff into the mix the calm the mob down. So i don't go the way of Kev. But as you say that is coming of trolly so what can you do.

All you're doing is trying to de rail a good informative thread with absolute nonsense, trolling and off topic content. There's a Western war crimes thread in here bugger off to that.

That’s not confirmation though, is it? I mean look at when train services are messed up here, everyone knows it, it’s obvious. If this has happened it should be really easy to see; loads of trains will be backed up, services will be announced cancelled and so on. I think it’s incumbent on those saying this to prove it, to be honest.

Remember this is being said by people in opposition to the Belarusian government, they’re not going to have access to the countries satellite system are they? If this is not true who would gain from saying it? What would be the point? I don’t find it so hard to believe that a population that voted it’s leader out 6 months ago but are still ruled by him against their will would look to disrupt the forces of the country that keep that leader in power, their fight for freedom is aligned with that of Ukraines.

Eh?
