    No it’s absolutely not and I have made that abundantly clear. just seems on here, and other social media outlets, if you try to take a rational view and point out that not all the “good guys” are good….you get labelled a Putin supporter. Something which I certainly am not.

    Ok, but you've answered a different question. You've answered, is one or other side spotlessly white? Whereas the question is, is Putin entitled to attack and invade a non-aggressive, sovereign country? It's yes or no.

    If you accept that Putin is not entitled to invade Ukraine, then on the issue of invasion, you have picked a side.

    Ok if it’s a call I’m against Putin……happy now lads ?

    But can I add the caveat that I am not a supporter of any Ukrainian, fascist militia that have been murdering children in the Donbas for the last 14 years while people, like yourselves, couldn’t give a **** ?

    I feel that’s a fair compromise

    Many of England's ruling class were supporters of Hitler in the 30s.

    Many of today's ruling class are in receipt of dirty Russian money.

    Where do you stand on the Donbas conflict Col ? With the right wing, neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia or with the separatists ?

    Simple choice
