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.

You could probably do with reading some of the reports on Russias behaviour in Ukraine before making that sweeping statement. Try reading some of the human rights watch reports or articles by reporters without borders, not just towards Ukrainians but also their own conscripts. Then there’s the...

Pretty sure the USA’s involvement in Vietnam was widely condemned both in the US and abroad. It finished before I was born but I don’t doubt for a minute that I would have condemned the USA much as I have Russia in the same circumstances in Ukraine. In stark contrast to your juxtaposition.

Your stance would have been let them crack on going by your views on Russias invasion of Ukraine. Russia is guilty of the same war crimes in Ukraine.

Fresh Sunak story breaking. Apparently he “earned” £5M bonuses as his hedge fund was at the centre of the deal that ultimately took down RBS which led to the taxpayer £45B bailout. Not exactly a shocking story that a hedge fund made a fortune out of the crash but the optics are once again awful...
