Russia - threadbanned users in OP

"If you want real justice you carry it out in the field."

Ukrainians seemed happy to take Russian POWs early on and use them to send messages back to the home country. You'd have to think that as things go on, they'll opt for more direct solutions.

And no new spare parts for the existing western build vehicles.......

Maybe, but not in the foreseeable future, at least until he rebuilds his mauled army, a mauling that is still ongoing.

I always wondered about M.A.D in the current world. Like just say NATO and Russia ended up nuking each other. Would one side look at China or India and go "fcuk it, if I'm going down you're all coming with me"

This is what some are referring to as 'Post Truth'

There are many such examples - i honestly expect this to become a massive talking point at some stage (it already is but i expect it to become a field of study). So many examples we could think of -

• Anti-Mask hysteria - covid and Vaccines etc
• Qanon - i recommend watching Q INTO THE STORM for an exploration
• Trump/Election stolen
• flat earth

Plenty more (FYI i am not opening a can of worms RE the vaccines etc - just making the point) -

Iv chatted to some people who are actually studying it - its bizarre and kinda terrifying - i would go as far as to say its a mild mental illness

• Ability to dismiss actual verified evidence, in favor of nonsensical hypothetical BS and rumor - (yes i know the WHO and every major government health agency supports the vaccine, but THIS YOUTUBE BLOGGER SAYS THE VAX KILLED HER UNCLE - )
• Inability to evaluate and examine sources in a credible way - creation of a false equivalency between sources (relates to the above but subtly different - like weaving a warped theory based on disconnected sources - A leads to B leads OBVIOUSLY TO Z! OMG)
• An egotistical idea among those afflicted - whereby they have accessed 'real truths' that most of us 'sheep' are unwilling to see - they are special see?
• Rampant paranoia - i know someone who is very into these fringes and to say she is paranoid would be an understatement - if the mainstream media say one thing, my friend assumes the exact opposite - she refers to this as healthy skepticism but its way way beyond that - its starting off with the false assumption that every narrative is probably based on lies - and then looping in some of the above to 'find a new real truth'
• Radicalization through meeting others who have the same thought process - thank you twitter

I actually do feel sorry for these people - but i also worry that they are being taken far to seriously in certain circles. They tend to demand respect for their 'opinions' and will react almost violently if one refuses to grant said respect. But IMHO its very ego driven too. There must be a kind of pleasure from feeling that you know something, that others will always be ignorant of - the feeling that one truly is 'special'

That twitter guy is basically spinning a yearn RE the Bucha massacre - an the narrative is VERY helpful to Russia - yet i am SURE he probably has nothing to do with Russia personally - He is just applying his faulty thought process in a sickening way -

Anyway - rant over - all IMHO of course - interested to hear what others think

Well there was a post a few pages back showing damaged and broken down immobilized tank's and APC's loaded on to rail cars for transportation back to Russia, so that's where the spare parts ( at least some of them anyway) will be coming from.

That aint going to be happening unless some gobshytes in the EU and some EU countries trying to get rid of economic migrants starts trying to mix up the chancers from the likes of Calais and Greece in with legitimate refugees coming across the borders into Romania, Poland, Slovakia.

I would bet all these Ukirainian refugees have identification of some sort with them and haven't lost all their identifying papers for some unknown reason.

Also a fair bet that the vast majority of these Ukrainian refugees are female, kids and the old, not strapping young fellows or hairy kids.

Like Katyn all those years ago, in more ways than one.

Absolute nonsense. Now if you were to say the Irish don't want the sacrifice and the changes necessary, then I'd agree with you. In my eyes Germany is pretty damn awful in it's regard for the sanctity of it's lifestyle, comforts and wealth, but Ireland is frankly worse. The precious regard for neutrality isn't about neutrality, it's about not wanting the inconveniences and - most of all - cost of non neutrality. There is this image of Ireland being warm, open and friendly towards visitors - and it is - so long as they are 'visitors' and will be off again after being milked.

The current government has allocated considerable sums of money to eco measures - massive subsidies to flash harrys who want to set up normally uneconomic solar power, subsidies to home owners to retro-fit heat pumps, insulation, etc. There are huge sums of government expenditure earmarked to mitigating climate issues and ludicrous sums being spent on social housing. If all these funds were diverted to accommodating regugees this country could accommodate more than 100,000, with ease.

Ah, but most of the casualties will be from poor families from the regions who couldn't pay for their sons to avoid the army. Coupled with total media control, there will be no awareness of how many are being killed.

Russia could lose 100,000 soldiers and Putin would be able to continue on uninterrupted.

Did you see that the Russians shaved the heads of Ukrainian female POWs?

Ukrainian soldiers are smarter than their Russian counterparts and would I think be cognisant that they need to control their urges so there are POW's to exchange for Ukrainian POW's and free them from the horrors of being in Russian hands.

There's a load of "weak-ish links" unfortunately but it is mainly Germany you have an interest in (and they aren't even the "weakest link" in the EU as they say - that fellow just got reelected yesterday I read this morning).

It's not "anti" anything to want Germany to change policies etc. (which it has been doing), but the stuff you post goes quite a bit beyond that and is anti-German or anti-Germany. Do you really believe Merkel would be kind of politician who couldn't care less about something like kind of brutality we're seeing Russia carry out in Ukraine? I don't think so in fairness to you and you went overboard.
