I'm also ensuring that all outsourced work we get (I'm in IT) goes directly to our major partner in Kharkiv.
They might not be able to do it. It's not important. As well as having a business relationship with them, we have personal, friendly relationships with them and they need help. And money. To everyone here who professes to care, if you care, you do something. So contribute to the Red Cross or some kind of humanitarian organisation. |

For your information, I stopped reading your post after the first part. It is intolerable, to put it nicely. My "questions" were different. I don't have to have such a background to ask them, and for the comment I made thereafter. Come to your senses, and read them again. Your ridiculously arrogant attitude is insufferable. You surely went berserk. Edited by Archisorcerus - March 06 2022 at 02:58 |

You're right about Putin  ,
though he's had a few lessons learnt from Colin Powell's massive
destruction arms reports in Irak. The Putin guy is really an arsehole,
not to be trusted even with a bread. As or NATO being the aggressor, I think it's really the wrong word. Maybe agent provocateur or agent fomenteur is a better fit. ============== I haven't fully researched this (since it seems to be at the heart of some PA dispute of recent times), but I don't think we're taking of the same "nazi phenomenon" on either side of this dispute. I
just saw a documentary about a black BBC reporter Reggie Yates
investigating the Russian extreme-right nenazi hyordes (the man was
taking big risks with his own safety, IMHO - because these guys looked
like KKK-type hatred). Creepy and frightening stuff. I don't think
these neo-nazi hordes serve Putin's goals, though, because they
litterally kick the sh*t of Uzbek, Kirghiz immigrants - which are coming
from Putin's would-be "sister states". And we're not talking about the Wagner Elite Korps stuff either, which seem to be more of those 70/80's Central America's US special forces. When
it comes to the Ukrainian side, I think there is another kind of
nazism, more linked to WW2's end. I lived 20 years in Toronto (North Am's second Ukranian city after Chicago - Wisconsin & Manitoba housing other important communities)
and lived for a few years close to a Ukrainian neighbourhood (nothing
like a ghetto, though). I had a few Ukrainian buddies and even had a
very personal relationship with some of their sisters. TBH, when invited
at home (the parents wanting to check out their progeny's friends or BF
out), I was really not at ease looking at the family's library in some
of those homes. Clearly some of my buddies were descendant of
unrepenting WW2 criminals (some had real problems coping with that, and moved out of the house ASAP).
Man, this was spooky as hell. I understand that most of those
parents/grandparents went back to the homeland once the USSR was over in
90/91 to "finish their lives" over there. Apparently (please verify for
yourself), the Ukrainien Soviet Republic did not do a very thorough
purification process in its rank as other soviet republics might have
done as well after the outcome of WW2. =============== The
other kind of nazism in Ukraine is not really related to WW2, but also
much more than neo-nazi hooligan hordes most "caucasian" countries have
to live with. In a recent allocution asking for emergency
integration in NATO and EU, Zelenski also promoted the head of the
Aïdar/Aydar "nazi batallion" (please again do your own research) as
ruler of Odessa (clearly a Russophile city - built by the Tzars in the
XIXth C) region, but it seems no-one western balked at that
announcement. BTW, those Ukrainian soldiers heroically dying on the islands close to the Romanian territorial waters (it
was ripped away from it along with Moldova and Bessarabia by Stalin and
given to Ukraine - see the maps I posted on page 6 of this thread) are still alive and have never been attacked, from what I heard.  geeeeezzzz, what a bloody snakepit mess we (the planet) are dealing with over there.   ============= While we're talking
, I feel more comfortable having the Tchernobyl and other site at the
hand of Russians (who know how to deal with that stuff) than letting
some quickly-built "unknowing" Ukrainian blinded by hatred milice
fomenting some ways to take revenge on Rusxsians and do environmental
catastrophe.Screw Putin and his former KGB staff ambitions

wonder how long before Putin calls for martial law... protests in 28 Russian cities today...
and a new work week coming up in which the financial vice gets tighter. Supposedly they are to open their stock market back up on Tuesday... curious if that happens

Just a thought : Imagine if Nato would not have "incorporated" the Baltic States, Poland, Hungary, Czecho/Slovakia, Bulgaria and Romania. Do you think Putin would hesitate to RETURN to "liberate and denazify" their way too easily lost territories (aka "buffer zones")? After all, Vladimir stated that the collapse of the USSR was the single greatest catastrophe of the last century . Funny, I always thought from the Russian perspective that it was the Great patriotic War!.
Now imagine that Nato was disbanded (as a criminal organization according to some) in 1990, and seeing how organized and unified the EU has been in the past 30 years, you think that Putin today would not take advantage of that ? Just wondering

Right. Justin Trudeau enacted Emergency War Powers against Canadian Truckers protesting medical mandates. The Trucker protest leaders lost their trucks, their livelihoods, and they're still in jail...without bail. Like many Folks, Trudeau is for Russian citizens protesting their government, while at the same time, Trudeau wants to imprison Canada's citizens for protesting his own government. The hypocrisy is thick.

Again, for the sake of correctness, that was the anti-Putin oppositional TV station Dozhd'... Nothing very special, indeed. They have always been anti-Putin and pro-western. State TV channels' staffs do not seem to do something of the kind. So, it's a bit of a light manipulation, you know.

For the sake of correctness, I offered ZERO commentary, as I am not a fan of The Guardian , a proto-leftist, fact-eliminating, anti-journalism rag that doesn't offer the opportunity to comment or rebuff statements but does ask for money
  . BTW, one can be European without being pro-Western (like the Visegrad Group) |

Where do you get your news, corn flake cereal boxes? And how lazy can you possibly be? As per norm let me point out PLEASE some factual errors, even though you are entitled to not verifying anything (a woke pastime) as well as entitled to your own falsehoods. As I Canadian, I dislike Trudeau but he did enact and within a few hours REVOKE not the Emergency War Powers Act (basically marshal law last enacted during the 1970 FLQ crisis) but the Emergency Powers Act. Not the same. Secondly, the Ottawa "demonstrations" were an occupation that disrupted homes and businesses with endless nighttime honking and noise for 28 continuous days and the residents said enough. Third, the Covid-19 Mandates are 100% enacted by each provincial Premier, as each of these governmental entities have not endorsed the same laws, at the same time, as it is ENTIRELY dependent on the overflow in regional hospitals and not some arbitrary power grab to piss off people. Four, there are no overflowing jails full of truckers, who though they do have the right to complain, have no idea what freedom means as their suffering is somewhat muted in comparison to what is happening in Ukraine. Or Yemen, for that matter . This is a thread on Russia-Ukraine , please start one on Yemen or whatever you consider as "thick hypocrisy".

And I didn't criticize you. I just pointed out that the seemingly solid media like The Guardian are producing slightly manipulative videos.

Oh, no worries, I felt no criticism whatsoever, I just wanted to be accurate about the lack of commentary
 Please, put seemingly solid in quotation marks "", because a more revolting news source is hard to find on the left side of the equation.  |

There's a hybrid war going on right now. The Guardian is not immune to such things.

About The Guardian:
I have posted an article written by an American analyst of the Cato's Institute (Massachussetts) just to prove that in the last years many Occidental analysts said: We better be beware to enlarge Nato to the East Europe. The Guardian, as many worthy newspapers, publishes not only news from Ukraine but even analysis with different point of view. |

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

looks like the US signed off on the 3 way deal to get more fighter jets transferred to Ukraine via Poland. Good move

Stop. Just stop. Quit apologizing for Putin. He is dead wrong. Totally to blame for his actions, and his actions alone. And speaking of the dead, if dear ol' Vlad dies tomorrow of a brain aneurysm brought about by his troops failure to defeat common citizens armed with antique rifles and Molotov cocktails (and we can only hope he dies soon), NATO will not be attacking Russia. No one will attack Russia. NATO did not attack Russia when the Iron Curtain fell. No one was marching to Moscow like Napoleon or Hitler. But you know what did happen? Countries long repressed by Soviet domination declared their independence. And all of them are in far better shape than when the USSR was dominating them, or annexing them, or quashing their independence movements. Europe, and Russia, for that matter, will be better when they slap together that 5'6'' pine box and bury your boy behind one of the urinals in the basement of the Kremlin.
