That’s a stretch even for you. The fact is democratic European countries do have national service. I knew about Finland as its been a talking point since Russia invaded Ukraine with your blessing, not sure why I knew Austria has it and Norway made the news when they passed law that women as well...

You’re confusing me with yourself. Do you still have your Nigel avatar on file? Sounds like you’ll be needing it again if that’s true, like you did last time you voted for him. You’ve probably filled it under #theman.

Only because you know fuck all. Finland for instance, pretty sure Austria does too off the top of my head. In Norway it’s compulsory for men and women to do national service.

Russia! Democratic! Genius.

That I wouldn’t disagree with. Same as it would be naive to ignore the knock on effect of a Russia win in Ukraine. This is bigger than Ukraine, just ask Georgia, Moldova or Estonia for starters.

I can’t help you with that one. Them’s the facts. The invasion in my opinion was illegal, I’d have no complaints if Blair and W were dragged to the Haig to answer for their actions. But to suggest that firstly 300k deaths happened during the invasion as you initially did is disingenuous and...

Remember when we didn’t have GE’s during WW2? We were just like Putins Russia.

I wasn’t defending anything. I was correcting your misinterpretation of the data. Adding your own context to my replies ain’t clever and that’s the second time you’ve done it this afternoon.

You’re conflating data there. That’s the number for civilians killed since the 2003 invasion not during the 2003 invasion. You could easily argue that they’re as a result of violence since and because of the invasion but you also have to acknowledge that the majority of those deaths were and...

You seem very reluctant to acknowledge that it’s standard practice by Russia in Ukraine.

Corrected for you. Also… Do you accept that standard practice of Russian soldiers is to rape and torture Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in Ukraine?

Yeah but what about that Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire.

It’s what you would describe as a picnic in Ukraine. Who do you think is in denial of the atrocities that the US committed in Vietnam exactly? No one is defending it or diminishing it. Unlike you with the behaviour of Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

I said incidents not incident. Big difference. Big difference. Do you at least accept that rape is a norm for Russia soldiers?

If your gran had balls would she be your grandad. The lack of basic understanding. You do understand that the US has a democratically elected president who can serve the maximum of two terms? You can question their foreign policies all you like but to suggest that they’re despotic requires an...

Why? The OP was making a clear comparison between the behaviour of US an Russian soldiers. Again, only one poster thinks one group is at a picnic. If you want to point that out to anyone it’s them. Your direction is misdirection. Your link is interesting though as a comparison, at least to...

This too

If they don’t do the conga at his funeral that’s a missed opportunity.

You’d be better off pointing that question in the direction of Grendull. He’s the only one saying that there is a difference. Russia is in Ukraine for a picnic according to him against the wait of evidence.
