All the excuses & propaganda under the sun does not make the Russian invasion of Ukraine right. They are regularly attacking non-military targets killing women and children. Mass graves are proof of atrocities the Russians are committing.

As I've said before, Russia will likely win. But pootin will be remembered throughout history in the same vane as Hitler. Just a mass murderer. Certainly not the hero he thinks he is.

It's sad some care so little for their fellow man.


If putin is considered a mass murderer what do you consider Blair, Howard and Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan? Give me a break on your infantile ramblings.


If those are your facts you bring to this argument then pack up and go home, Putin is clearly a deranged psycopath. Does Russia win anything from this invasion ? Im yet to see it, they've thrown the Kitchen sink at the Kyiv and Zelensky but have retreated back to Crimea, the whole thing is a cluster pharrkk and the EU has been on the decline for 20 years so hyper energy driven inflation just gives Asia more of a leg up. I'm not sure Chuck why you think anything good will come from this extended Invasion that is likely to run up until Putins death in the next few years, Karma's a biatch


As far as clusterfucks go, nothing tops Iraq or Afghan. Paying Saddam to fight Iran, invading him, then leaving him in power... while still bombing him the next ten years until he gets re-invaded again. That war made as much sense as the average LSD trip.

In Afghanistan NATO invaded to fight terrorists, found the fighting too hard, started negotiating with the terrorists, and couldnt even manage their own withdrawal properly. As well as a few million people now classed as " Nato collaboraters"( aka the ones who sided with us) being rounded up and killed as traitors..

if you want a full list of Pyschos, try the US arms client lists. They outsell the next 5 countries combined in global arm sales( Russia, Uk, france, china etc), more than 105 countries and 50% of them are human rights abusers.

I guess its bad to be a pyscho invading dictator but supplying 50 other nutters with bullets is the sign of complete sanity and great morals. :roll:

Its a messy business Mickb. The USA and allies cutting deals with ISIS in Syria to other throw Assad? The only moderate middle east leader that has stopped the complete genocide of Christians. Makes no sense to me.

Putin is a lawyer. You may think he is insane but he is very smart. The first thing he did was recognise the breakaway Republics. Then he got them to invite him to protect them.

There's no shortage of insane smart people.
The kind of people who deal with people who threaten their position by having them assassinated. The kind of people who become among the world's richest by defrauding public office to the tune of hundreds of millions.

I'm not sure Putin was ever a lawyer, no doubt he studded law, probably several kinds of law.

Most politicians have a degree in law (or several) of some kind for obvious reasons.

Yeah he's smart, but he's also extremely dirty.
Ask yourself, how did a guy that spent his entire career in public office become mega rich early in his career?

Spot on, on_one_wheel.
No doubt about it. He is a sick puppy.

And atrocities other so called leaders have committed in the past do not justify what he is doing. Never has never will. Wrong is simply wrong.

There's nothing smart about corruption, it's just plain greed and it's the poorest in society that are suffering for it.

Like to 100 odd million in aid that vanished under his watch in the 90's, that was ment for the poorest of the poor, he was happy enough to sit in his ivory tower watching people starve why he was busy laundering and reinvesting his dirty money.
He only cares for one person.

Crooked pricks are a dime a dozen. Only 15% of the world is 1st world, the others are just different degrees of dumps run by crooks in bed with each other. And the wests nose isnt clean either. The US arms 50+ bad regimes alone.

Mickb and mchughcb both on the money there boys.

Cornpop ok ill admit putin is bad, but when will you accept that blair, bush, our politicians etc are as bad if not worse then putin. If you count the number of people killed since 2000, the Americans (politicians and big business) win hands down.

Sheesh. Anybody that invades another country without very good reason is an arshole. And of course that includes inventing s**t. So, yes. Yanks (and others) have done the wrong thing at times.

I dont see Putin any better or worse than anything. The billionaires on both sides are making huge money out of this and its coming out of our pockets. The average fella is a fed a few media stories and memes and he is slavering at the chops to watch the latest show. And the price of a ticket to this show? Our kids ability to ever buy a house. What a bargain.

Ok cornpop, who decides what is right, the UN, the USA, , NATO.

What the f**k was Australia doing in Afghanistan for 20 years, defending Australia?

Everyone of the recent military interventions was justified legally. Guess you have an opinion about what is wrong and right in your own dream world.

My opinion is that zelensky should have followed through in his election promise to end hostilities in the donbass by following the Minsk agreement 2 from 2015.

He though he could end it with nato supplied arms and training before ending it with an army. Guess he wasn't ready for the Russians to cross the border at the invite of the Ukrainians and I guess Putin didn't expect NATO to start a proxy war. Be that as it may, Ukraine will bleed out, Russia will not.

Putin must be about to have a coup...if you listen to MSM

Reality a bit different


Things are looking upbeat, he has Europe by the throat. Supplies are down but prices are up so he still makes the same amount of money.

The military intervention is going ok/good.

And now politicians resolve are starting to crumble across Europe. Bulgaria looks to be set...

Russia is talking to China at the next G20 and word has it Turkey is now talking to Syria to get the US backed Kurds out of the way. Sweden is housing a bunch if Kurds which Turkey says if they don't hand over they will veto their NATO bid.

If this happens, the US influence in the area just fell several notches.

What you want him to freeze or use electricity... made from coal :lol:

Now i redding that for the first time since the war started Russian companies are back selling Russian diamonds.. about $250m USD equivalent a month via India.

Anyone remember AUKUS deal and the move to India.... they got the knife in our backs and twisting it.

Mchughcb enjoy your cheap Gas and Petrol/Diesel... in a couple of months the price will sky rocket. Saudis already talking of decreasing output to increase price of oil as its too low


Edit:

There you go, while people in Europe and Australia are told... fairy tales, reality is a bit different. World keeps on turning and keeps buying cheap oil/ gas from Russia

Lol, the Italians have worked it out. First time in history that the country being sanctioned makes more than the country doing the sanctioning. It's amazing what a self entitled arrogance there was when this started. It's going pear saved fast.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time i have read this comment.... all times it just makes me rotfl

"Ukraine's gas transmission system operator said it and the Polish gas pipeline system had the capacity to bring Russian gas to Europe and compensate for the Nord Stream halt."

If only putin was as dumb as MSM/womble etc have you believe

When Erdogan supports Zelensky with his push to remove Russian invaders from the Crimea you know Putin is running out of friends......
