Russia - threadbanned users in OP

For negotiations or a shared future concept to work people have to be prepared to negotiate honestly. That is something Putin doesn't do and he has no problem using the power of Russia aggressively to get what he wants. For the rest of the world, it's things like sanctions until they are forced into a physical response. The only real sanction might be on energy but that hurts everyone else and China could happily take up the slack on it.

If I hear that ponce Paul Murphy TD going on anymore about "American imperialism " I'll throw up. How anyone votes for that clown who between euro mep pension and td salary is pulling in 3K per week I'll never know!

Interesting the way the bot/influence messaging has changed completely now from the Nasty Warmonger NATO and Nazi Ukraine ganging up on poor old frightened Russia that remembers WW2 (see all earlier pages), to Russia and their Army is Strong, Putin Great, there's nothing the Weak West led by eejits can do, Russia/Putin laughs at puny sanctions etc, do you want energy to cost the earth? (last few pages)

I suppose us nobodies/joe publics in the West must have some agency if its worth someone's time to sow such messages of demoralisation even though we are not the ones who'll be deciding what sanctions actually get put on Russia.

I hope the bot theory will be tested to destruction (that any sanctions won't matter to Russia) + they'll be cut off like a rotting limb now, whatever the cost. Then Europe can get busy on re-arming like its 1938 again.

@MFPM the word is "shill" I think. It's more of an americanism though.

Exactly that the eu had a real chance to stand up and stop this along with nato and what did they do and are doing gave out few sanctions to putins mate , ukraine is burning and it's going to get worse ,and what are we the eu /world doing sweet **** all ,

Utter cowardice

Very angry with what's going on today. It's absolutely disgusting and completely pointless.

Putin doesn't Care he's gone completely off reservation ,he's wants the Nazi's gone , a legitimate democratic elected government with a Jewish leader ,

It's done Ukraine will fall meanwhile Europe leaders are cowering under their blankets this morning , wondering when its their turn to face a Russian onslaught

Live from Kyiv as residents leave

Zelenskyy has asked for internarional help to protect ukraines airspace .

I'd expect European leaders have put their phones on silent

And what should they be doing exactly? Threatened aerial responses just up the the ante for someone who would absolutely welcome then.

Source?

Yes remember when the bots were all it's American lies about a full scale invasion.

That aged well didn't it.

It's obvious there are certain accounts parroting disinformation onto the thread.
