I either throw my own punches or I don't get involved. No man should ever advocate for action that he wouldn't be willing to take himself. Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Sep 2022 8.40pm) Following that logic no-one of my age, is disabled or or otherwise unfit in some way should be allowed an opinion on anything which might involve the use of force. Unlike you I believe in democracy. I believe we employ people to protect us from bullies.

No, the world would be a far better place if only those who advocated violence actually fought. One thing is for certain, there would be a lot less tough talk. Put up or shut up sorts the wheat from the chaff. The number of young lives that have been ended by the hubris of old angry fools are legion.

For all of Russia's talk of De-nazifying Ukraine they released the commander of the Azov Battalion back to Ukraine today. Russian telegram channels are in meltdown, many now feel lied to about the reasons Russia is there

To put things into perspective....because unfortunately our own media won't, 300,000 additional troops is the figure that has been suggested for the partial mobilization. This is around 1.1% of Russia’s 25 million-men reserve. Just one of the reasons why this is one of the stupidest wars possible. Pushing Russia into China's orbit and creating this world division and cold war is so crazy that I can't quite believe what I'm witnessing.

215 PoW's including the valuable Britons and Americans for 55 of your own, of which only like 4 were senior officers, doesn't seem a good trade to me. Me thinks something else going on in the background there.

Russia got 50 of its own including Viktor Medvechuk. Attachment: Screenshot_2022-09-22-05-18-26-944_com.twitter.android.jpg (786.35Kb)

I'd heard rumours this was happening but thought it was nonsense. [Tweet Link]

Russian telegram channels are in meltdown, many now feel lied to about the reasons Russia is there I heard a Russia “expert” (ex diplomat) say yesterday that the biggest internal problem that Putin faces is not from those protesting about the conscription but from the ultra nationalists who feel the army has failed them. Is this true?

She been reading it in the Russian news. Horrifying if true. There needs to be a mass revolt to kick Putin out but people understandably are terrified to do so. What a sick man.
