It’s a silent war.

    Feels like you’re trying to work yourself up into saying something but can’t quite get yourself there Bodger, ya lovable loon.

    I have read that all men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. Are they to be conscripted or something?

      Reports of army checkpoints taking men off buses or cars fleeing the country and sending them back to be armed and defend the country. Grim.

        Yes it’s interesting how the bots and trolls usually here tin a feeding frenzy are gone a tad mute plus even pondlife like Farage, Fox, Melville & Gammon Broadcasting et al haven’t really come of their caves and cesspools of self delusion with fresh false equivalence clickbait

        Seeing as you are so dismissive pray tell then would you recommend as a verifiable and trustworthy news source ? A list please. Put your QWERTY where your rubles are. A debate is bringing something to it – not simply firing cheap shots at others anonymously. I’m happy to be enlightened by a whole new treasure trove of resources. Adult education is a wonderful thing.

          None of them.

          Choosing any will only lead to confirmation biases. Which you seemingly don’t mind.

          That particular account goes from Canada straight to reporting from Ukraine. With the same exact narrative as all the lame stream news.

    That video doing the rounds of a tank speeding up to, and crushing, a civilian car is heartbreaking :(

    It’s hardly what one might call graphic by unfiltered media standards, but it hit a nerve…

      It’s completely bonkers!!! I’m an old-style ‘talk ‘n chalk’, hard copy type; my vintage precludes me from taking seriously a visual such as this – tank drives right over ‘civilian car’ and car is duly flattened yet human being crowd-crowbarred out of squashed car doesn’t have a scratch or a dust mote on him ….

      Meanwhile, on journal.ie there’s a heartrending tale of a guy from Pittsburg, Pennsyl -van-ia, not there a wet week who had to walk 43 miles to the Polish border and ’twas ‘brutal’ and ‘harrowing’ so ’twas! https://www.thejournal.ie/ukraine-refugees-poland-5693936-Feb2022/

      This is puerile stuff and anyone taken in by it has the attention span of a gnat https://www.google.com/search?q=babies+thrown+out+of+incubators+in+kuwait&rlz=1C1CHBD_enIE784IE784&oq=babies+thrown+out+of+incubators+in+kuwait&aqs=chrome..69i57.21563j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 (take your pick of links)

        He has a large cut on his face and the quality of the video is not good enough to see further detail

        What are you talking about?

      goldenbrown, not me, sorry. I’ve deleted certain comments under the barrister shooting story, but nothing other than those today.

    Trump a Europa:Con su política ambientalista, ustedes han destruido su capacidad nuclear de generar energía y ahora dependen de Rusia.Quieren que EE.UU. los proteja de Rusia, pero ustedes pagan billones de dólares a los rusos comprándoles energía. pic.twitter.com/Yq4poOjrTr— Christian Camacho (@ccamacho88) February 24, 2022

      hey BS, what was comment changed to different language. wow you are SOQ. get a life. People are dying but any critic is doomed to your editorial shxxte.

        1. Oro

          Ye deleted three comments of mine recently that were critical of the site’s posting style. None of them contained any bad language, and nothing slanderous or libellous. You do censor criticism. Which is so weird since considering “fRee SpeEch” and all eh?

        2. GiggidyGoo

          Ah now, Bodger, there was a naughty f-word got through a couple of days ago. The bad F-word. And if I write d-ick as in Cressida, it gets binned.

    Zelensky – Ukraine ready to discuss ceasefire

    A spokesman for Ukrainian President Zelensky has just said the country is prepared to hold ceasefire and peace talks with Russia immediately. He said Russian and Ukrainian officials are currently discussing a time and place for talks to be held. Russia has said they will only talk when the entire Ukrainian armed forces surrender.

    Update:

    Ukraine denies reports it rebuffed offer of peace talks

    Ukraine has denied reports that it rebuffed a Russian offer to explore peace talks. The Ukrainian president’s spokesman, Serhiy Nykyforov, said on Facebook: “I have to deny statements that we have refused to hold talks. Ukraine was and remains ready to talk about the end to fighting and about peace. This is our unchanged position. We agreed to the offer by the Russian president. Right at this moment, the sides are consulting on the place and time of holding the negotiating process. The sooner the talks begin, the more chances there will be to restore normal life.”

    Anyone cheering on war here shame on them
    This could spread to WW3 and this time we are part of the EU and if the club goes to war then we do
    That’s when body bags come back with our children. Just pray to god today they bury the hatchet with that meeting
