I can still condemn Russia’s actions. Putin’s broken international law by invading a sovereign territory. I have no idea how awful it must be for people experiencing this on the ground. What I said wasn’t intended to insult your family or anyone else affected by this conflict. My perspective was definitely more abstract than yours. I’m sorry if I offended you.

I get why you’re questioning things, I do the same. But ultimately Ukraine is not Putin’s domain and he shouldn’t be in there throwing his weight around. There’s no excuse for war-mongering.

I think the more interesting thing to question is why was the response from the rest of the world so weak when we could see wehat he was doing?

I’m totally disgusted with what’s happening, I never thought I’d have to see bullshit like this playing out in Europe. Glad to see theres opposition at home.

The only argument here is that there will be Ukrainian people putting their kids to bed tonight with a very real fear that they might be obliterated before dawn, all because some brian cant wants a bigger garden. You fucking prick.

True. I don’t know. I don’t think the economic sanctions will do very much to deter Russia. What’s the right response to this?

Fuck me, do you enjoy turning every conversation into being about you?

Can we ban him from threads?

Forgot he existed for a while because I hid the Covid thread. I don’t want to have to hide this one.

I cant believe I’m getting into a political argument with a fucking antivaxx nurse, I’m a little ashamed of myself.

Expect random links to Pro-Putin stories in this thread soon…

The whole thing is about money ffs.

Smarter people than you are making these decisions.

Anyway, has Eva not made dinner for you yet?

Wonder if there’s going to be any trouble or big protests at the winter paralympics? They start in a week or so.

Plenty of Russians there under the Russian Olympic committee flag and lots of Ukrainians too, could be some issues…

I would hope the athletes will protest it.

If certain forumers opinions don’t gel with your own then please feel free to mute/ignore them (click on their profile image which takes you to their profile page and I’m sure you can work it out from there)

Don’t want this place to become an echo chamber

And sorry I can’t be more responsible/tactful, got shit loads going on ATM, very hectic

Muting people ruins the thread. They took Chernobyl?

Respect to the Russians protesting this. 100 hundred or so senior Russian officials signed something opposing this early too. Imagine signing your name to something against Putin and handing it in over there. Ballsy

When did a group of like minded people hanging-out become a bad thing? This shit isn’t even 24 hours in and the poster couldn’t wait to start posting up a controversial opposite stance (that they admit they take on purpose, I imagine the only point of doing this is too knowingly wind people up). Also just putting them on your ignoring list leaves them free to post whatever drivel they want unopposed too.
Everyone else having to self censor parts of the forum and enjoyment of using it for one person seems an extreme measure for an anti-echo chamber.

I also heard sotonjon thinks Carroll and Howard wasted their prime years.

Also the Champions League final has been taken off Russia by all reports, it was meant to be played in St Petersburg on Friday. Hope they let a NATO nation host it now.
