    Pretty sick
    This is war and anyone who bangs the drum and many blog cheering on the war and death to the ruskies go on about rules of wars
    Like it or not this is the reality of war and in reality there are no rules just hatred just revenge just murder
    Can you really blame these men fighting the war when they see their comrades torn apart ?
    But those banging the war drum about nasty man Putin and cheering on the victories it’s all hypocritical

    What’s worse a suicide bomber walking into a market place filled with people or the strategic drone bombing conducted from a military base in Kansas or Moscow that hits a wrong target
    None but the suicide bomber actually looks into the eyes of those they kill
    All war is insanity no matter what the cause

      david, when you are forced to fight an urban guerilla war, it makes sense to wound your enemy but not kill them. wounded soldiers slow down the enemy advance and are an increased drain on resources.
      just sayin, like.

    I know war is pretty bad and the only war Ukraine can fight is this way unless they be gentlemen like the grand old duke of York
    Personally I would of thought a wise leader would avoid war rather than this
    In all honesty did he think the might of imperial capitalism would jump to their beat as we are talking WW3
    Let’s face it they are an ex communist state and used to life under the yolk of communism
    They do not have all the perks we have like homelessness poverty for most of the old and a health service to be proud of if you have a death wish
    They have oligarchs we have Denis o’brien
    To be honest I would not care if I had to kiss putins arse provided I had 2 holidays a year a warm secure home kids at college and an old age pension just enough to live on as I retire
    As for war there are no rules no angels and brute force wins
    Those ready to push wars cry rules decency etc so they can beat the drum and send us poor schmucks off to do the business of killing others

    Moral of the story do not start a war and get your ducks all in Aline before you poke your enemy
    Evidently zelensky did not do that now his people are paying the price
    When it’s over he will find a cushy bolt hole and will enjoy his $600 million singing Ukrainian songs when he gets a little pissed
