By the sounds of it, neither can you.
I'm not doing the best either.
I find humour helps big time. ;)

Sorry, Ukrainians get no sympathy from me any longer, Now I understand why the neo-Nazi Azov battation has so much support in Ukraine.


Binary nonsense.
You can't blame all Ukrainians for the racism of some.
You can't blame all Russians for what pootin is doing.
You can't blame all Germans for what happened to the Jews.
You can't blame all non-indigenous Australians for what happened to the native Australians.

Now, go stand in the corner and think about what you have said. :evil: :mrgreen:

Well, by the logic above, we should have sanctioned literally every country.

There are wrongdoings that need to be adressed but freaking not by an invasion and shelling cities!

Ukraine isn't going to win a popularity content with African counties


Ukraine may not last long.
Will that satisfy you?
Sounds like it. 8)


I'm kind of torn now. I don't like what Putin is doing but the Ukrainians aren't exactly winning friends with their actions.

I'm honestly wondering if there is a country where racist incidents wouldn't be happening if a war like that was there.

Seriously, propose candidates for such a country.

If someone on WP believes to be living in such a country, come on and tell us. Cyber, you too.

If black people are left behind, shame on those who do this.

Still….this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be allied with Ukraine because of the actions of a few idiots.

I don't think adding avowed Nazis to your official military are the actions of a few idiots. Well, maybe, if you're talking about the idiots who took power after the 2014 revolution.

We shouldn't be sending Ukraine any military aid until they dissolve the Azov and we can be sure we aren't arming Nazis.

When your country is at war with a superpower, you aren't too picky who helps watch your back. 8)
I'm assuming russia has been threatening Ukraine the minute it declared independence.
And remember, Ukraine has a lot to be pissed off with the soviet era. 8)

It’s not in Europe’s best interest to allow Russia to run rampant in Ukraine.

The vast majority of Ukrainians probably hate Azov, too.

You can’t blame the many for the sins of few.

Nazi is as Nazi does.
Who has invaded another country and is shooting rockets at cities?

As Magz pointed out, Putin is playing by the Hitler playbook.

Interesting thing I heard on a live discussion channel on YouTube. I heard allegations that retreating forces shelled residential Kharkiv after retreating out of the city after losing control.

I am not able to confirm this.

Russia is certainly targeting civilians.

No doubt about that.

Saying otherwise insults my intelligence.

How about all those apartment buildings in Kyiv and Kharkiv? What were the Russians aiming for?

His targeting of civilians will only increase.
