Current Affairs Ukraine

[Davideeyore]

We have had US politicians making dumbass comments about taking out Putin and now the US President talks about removing him from power. Not the brightest bunch are they. Dumb asses.

I realise Russia will be watching every move, listening to every rhetoric from the western leaders. No one wants to escalate it (even me). I just can't get my head round the rediculous contradictions going on.

Putin is guilty of war crimes. They've committed atrocities. But we can't stop it. Biden says we what we all feel and then their politicians tell us oh we didn't mean that. Even France President Macron cowers saying "I still call him President Putin". The world's gone mad.

Shocking to see Ukrainian soldiers killing and maiming pows. This war becomes worse as it goes on.

Been to Belgrade as well as Kotor and Budva in Montenegro. Would love to go back there some time and see more of both countries. Had a great time in both.

Went there on a Cruise , Kotor is spectacular scenery . Dubrovnik , Split then on to beautiful Koper in Slovenia.
Must go back one day.

Soz for off topic.

I wish this senseless mess would end.

All war is horrific, it's just that it becomes apparent to the masses. All those who've been involved in the war will have had their own struggles and tribulations.

They'll have felt joys and sorrow. They will have had childhoods and families; they may have their own children. They were loved and will have loved themselves.

People that existed and may have continued to exist had this conflict not started. But now, the war only brings about death and suffering - life and death.

The saddest part is that normal people before the war will become accustomed to conflict, and at that point any person can reach the lowest levels of depravity.

Think about it for a minute.

Why would Ukrainian troops film themselves committing war crimes and then post the video on-line?

Once you’ve thought about it you’ll have your answer

The video is spliced. The first part is genuine and shows a Russian pow lying on the floor with a leg wound.

The second part of the video looks fake. If you’d just been shot in the leg you’d be writhing all over the place in agony and there would be blood - a lot of it, but no these guys go down and don’t move and there’s no blood anywhere.

I understand, but we are not going into a war with Russia are we? We have pretty much said we aren’t unless a NATO country becomes a target. Therefore, who will be the target of any increased aggression from Putin? The Ukrainian’s. And then what will we do, call them out for committing further atrocities? I just don’t see what purpose it serves, other than to make a nutter even more aggressive.

And yes the world has indeed gone mad.

I thought similar. If you've been shot in the leg you ain't lying in silence.

It is more likely a piece of propaganda from the FSB play book. But, nonetheless, it would not surprise me if things like this were in fact taking place.

Why would they film it? Well, not all squaddies are clever (think Abu Ghraib) and while it may incite some Russian troops those with low morale may quake.

I'm not saying it's true, but I am not saying it isn't either. The lack of blood is a different matter entirely and will really depend on lots of circumstances.

EDIT: Reportedly, it's spread by a known Kremlin supporter, so...

We really enjoyed Split. One of my favourite places. I know the Hajduk fans are cracked.

It is sad that humans are still looking for ways to destroy each other, instead of working together to create a better, more peaceful world for all. We really need nuclear weapons disarmament, no another nuclear war, so let’s sign this petition in the name of a peaceful world for all!

Sign the open letter against war and nuclear weapons

The Dalai Lama and other Nobel Peace Prize Laureates are ready to take this bold call to key leaders in the Russian Federation and NATO. Add your name!

This is like asking why would Kurt Zouma post a vid of him kicking his cat.

The Russian getting shot in the leg was funnier.

No dumbass at all. He spoke from his heart after seeing the destruction Putin has done to innocent people.

I was thinking the same. The guns they are using would take the leg off but no blood and the ‘victim’ rolling about in pain? I don’t buy it
