I don’t gloat over any deaths during war Goldie.
Every young man who dies fighting for a meaningless cause is a tragedy

You're right, it is a tragedy, but I save most of my sympathy for the civilians, mostly women, children and old people that are being deliberately butchered by Putin's war machine. So I celebrate the sinking of the Russian cruiser, though not its crew.

Fair enough….those who have never seen death in all it’s horror, often don’t realise how awful, painful and distressing it can be…..unfortunately I have….and I do.
Therefore I can’t find any reason to celebrate

To use an example of those in action, RAF pilots during the Battle of Britain celebrated each time they downed an enemy aircraft. Most of them did not think of the Luftwaffe pilot inside. They were destroying a force that was attacking them. Were they wrong?

They were part of the actual conflict and brave enough to actually do the dirty work…..whereas you are….errr…..not.
Anyway, I expected nothing else from the likes of yourself and others on here…..but some have surprised me

As I said, I was using the example of those in action. The fact is, all your sympathy is with Putin and his assassins and none
for innocent civilians in Ukraine. You dress it up as care for human life in general but it's a thin disguise. Be big enough to admit it.

Absolute bollox….and well you know it.
It’s two completely different things.
My problem is not with showing sympathy….but with gloating over death.

I’ve never done the latter during this conflict …..sadly some on here have. And I find that disgusting

Maybe if I changed my avatar to blue and yellow it’d be a plus in your eyes, eh ?

In all your posts, you've said not a word in sympathy for any Ukranian citizen, but get upset when an aggressor Russian cruiser is sunk. I think perhaps you are genuinely in denial as to where you're sympathies are, but on an objective view, it's obvious.

Have I ever gloated at any deaths in this war ?
If so I would hope most on here would call me a ****.

No, you haven't. But you seem to care disproportionately about the welfare of the individuals making up the Russian invading force. That's not a crime, it just seems to be where your sympathies lie. Anyway, Stainsey, you're entitled to place them where you wish. Free country...

unlike Russia.

Yeah I’m a Putin loving, Russian adoring, Ukraine hating scumbag who detests freedom for the ‘good guys’.

If you’re not with us…..your obviously against us. Yeah, right oh
