its sad to see, they're being sent with little hope of survival. Although you do wonder if there will be mass surrenders once they reach Ukraine. Looking at how the Russian POWs are being treated it wouldn't come as a huge surprise.

Yes you'd imagine there will be mass surrenders.

Ukraine are offering decent money to surrender tanks and other equipment.

Did he say how they shelled Dnipro last night narrowly missing the hotel where my cousin and other aid workers were staying?

No? Didn’t think so. In which case he had fuck all interesting to say.

Apologies Tony, didn't mean to cause offense and I hope your cousin and the rest of the aid workers are ok as can be.

Yeah I know. No offence taken. Just been watching the footage he sent me. He was outside the hotel having a fag when the sirens started going so started recording. There was a flash in the sky and then a huge explosion, you can’t see the explosion but you can here it. He tells me the recording doesn’t do how load the explosion was justice, apparently his ears are still ringing. Not sure if there’s any military installations but the hotel he tells me is in a residential area so seems to be the deliberate targeting of civilians. Not that that in itself is news.

Seemed pretty unhinged to me


yes very much deranged for most (if not all) of it, I agree but mentions the American (west) was over sexualising things targeting children.

Putin has attacked Western society, claiming it is “satanic” and has rejected “moral norms”.

Addressing the annexation ceremony in Moscow, Russia’s president said the West had turned away from “traditional” and “religious” values.

He also asked assembled dignitaries if they wanted “children to be offered sex-change operations”, a practice he implied was widespread in Western states.

In his two decades in power, Putin has routinely promoted what he says are “traditional values” and suppressed LGBTQ rights.

must add that I'm not saying its true or false just interesting.

All it does is create a new excuse for war in the future. Can use same excuse as Donbas and so Ukraine lives under permanent threat. Referenda can't be recognized as so many inhabitants weren't able to vote as have had to leave their zones.
If there was any doubt we are in another Cold War. There will be no reconciliation whilst Putin and his followers remain in power. Gets away with this then he'll retool, learn from his mistakes then start threatening other regions. Still his stated intent is to bring former Eastern bloc back under Russian control.

Yeah I’m not interested either same as you. More important things to worry about these days

NATO/UN announcement now apparently “unprecedented”

Edit: literally nothing. Fucking Twitter

Was anyone else whilst watching his speech actively wiling to see his brains explode out the back of his head?

Quite a weird feeling wanting to see someone executed live on TV.

In what way is it ‘interesting’?

It was clearly aimed at declaring a culture war on “the West”, though he’s been doing that forever. He’s hoping there’ll be enough fear and opposition to stop us intervening.

Same reason Boosh is in the politics thread posting about Eddie Izzard while everyone’s concerns they can’t afford to live.

Yeah but I don’t really understand how it can be classed as ‘interesting’.

What that the west is satanic?

No. that the west over sexualising things targeting children. That's debatable. That's my opinion and that's me speaking as I have 2 children

I’d be more concerned about the reports of systematic rape being carried out against Ukrainians personally.

Well obviously, but I'm not on about that with all due respect.

Well, with respect, you’re just falling for the Russia propaganda.

Why ? Because I think what he said regarding the subject in matter is debatable. Ok then 👍

Not unique with this theme of traditionalism and religion - appeals to significant numbers in many countries outside of Western Europe.
But if he's promoting religion perhaps he needs to reread the 10 commandments :)

You shall not murder.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Fair warning: this is pretty graphic in places if that’s not your thing.

Account of a conversation with a Ukrainian soldier from last night apparently.

Seems like an absolute rout in Lyman, the roads out as Russians tried to escape looks like a killing ground.

There's some fucking graphic footage coming out, some of which I really wish I hadn't seen 🤢
