Russian warship, go f**k yourself!

Both sides are using pretty much the same tactics Russia is meant to have the edge in drone jamming systems In that video their making themselves an easy target with so many in the same big hole.

No one knows what's best for Ukraine than Pres. Zelensky; my opinion concurs with his. And I believe up to 80% of the pop of Ukraine agrees with him.

You're an appeaser; to think you would give a murderous, predatory criminal (Putin) a win in this war beggars belief. Many years from now, when Putin is long dead, there will be thousands and thousands of disfigured Russian men in severe pain, limbs missing, in wheelchairs, etc cursing that man. By then the truth will be out about his execrable self serving manoeuvres, the many vindictive murders of political or personal opponents, his mafia/FSB rape of the economy, his massive theft from the Russian state, his responsibility for the Chechen school and Moscow theatre massacres etc etc.

And, of course, the rape of Ukraine.

'Wrong and tactically naive'?? Such pusillanimity! Have you any idea of the monstrosity of the offences perpetrated by Putin here. It is'nt as if the Russian people voted for this. This is ALL his doing and HIS doing alone. If he wins/gets a peace deal now (no difference) his presidency will get a new lease of life; you would have the tyranny inflicted on Russia continue for a further tenure of years. Plus the continued threats to Moldova, Belarus and the Baltics. Putin is an insect that should be eliminated - the time is now.

You and this State might be neutral - I am NOT.

You travel with Barktastic. Shame on you so.

How are you not neutral?

I agree with a good bit of this post however:

This is an invasion, one that threatens to erase Ukrainians and their culture. Their resistance is critical to their survival. Literally they are relying on war to preserve themselves and their families. They don't have the luxury of maintaining a position of "war is bad", they weren't given a choice, they have to pick up guns and fight - or risk losing everything. Their lives, their freedom, their language, their country.

Bit hysterical there.

Russia appears quite happy just to make sh1t of Ukraine after not really bothering too much with infrastructure from the start.

The whole genocide hysteria doesn't really seem to be actually happening in reality.

They did make the case for a neutral Ukraine but now it will be just a Ukraine so severely weakened that it will forever be a shadow of it's former self (which wasn't exactly impressive) and keep a small bit of conflict simmering just so Ukraine joining NATO is never on the cards.

Ukrainian oligarchs are betting on taking their cut of the rebuild fund. So bigger the mess more cash for them.

Being realistic though, none of us will ever live to see a prosperous Ukraine or even Ukraine returning to the level it was at pre 2022. Some appeasement of Putin would have served the average Ukrainian best in the short, medium and long term.

The money to rebuild and investment to drive employment and encourage those who left to return simply won't materialize, western economies can't support it.

No hysteria whatsoever.

Gaslighting. Putin isn't there to liquidate every Ukrainian, he's there to conquer territory and forcefully reabsorb it into Russia. Bucha, Borodyanka, Kherson have given us an insight into what Russian occupied Ukraine looks like - brutality, torture, arbitrary imprisonment, theft, murders.

Almost every post and sentence I've seen you write on this subject is pedantic or mealy-mouthed criticism of Ukraine in one way or another, your points in the above post repeatedly demonstrate this,

Soviet satellites that have gravitated towards Europe/West have managed to do relatively well, those that haven't escaped Moscow's grip haven't done so well. Ukraine is keen to align with the EU to get out of that rut.

Another demonstration

Again demonstration, this time supporting appeasement and giving Ukraine to Putin.

We don't know what a post-war Ukraine will look like, it all depends on the war. Followed many conflicts, I've never seen people rebuild destroyed infrastructure so quickly, and that's under a war situation with highly limited resources.

They are doing this day in, day out, tirelessly repairing as much as they can. It's superhuman stuff.

If they win the peace, then I have few doubts regarding their resolve in rebuilding the country. They also have large international support.

Wouldn't reopening roads be as important as fixing power lines or water infrastructure

How come when I click on "Scottish News" I don't get any Scottish news, just a whole bunch of anti-Ukraine propaganda?

Wow, they even have an entire link dedicated to Russia Today, the English-speaking propaganda apparatus of the Kremlin. Ah must be just a coincidence, totally legit looking news site.
