    I'd say it's true by definition. Opinion doesn't enter into it.

    ****…..just been sent a video of what seems to be a Russian POW being stabbed to death by his captor…absolute brutal stuff and truly sickening.
    Strengthens my feeling that there ain’t any good guys out there.

    NB I’m assuming the killer is Ukrainian as he gives a speech at the end. Of course I could be wrong and it’s a Russian killing a Ukrainian or a Ukrainian killing his own.

    NB After a bit of research I’m now certain it’s a Ukrainian doing the killing as he is wearing a Blue armband

    I ****ing hate humans

    As I said Wills, the fact that he (the killer) is wearing a Blue armband points to the fact he is Ukrainian…..dunnno who the victim is and wouldn’t post it but would like to see what his speech says.
    The brutality of war is easily shown now with mobile phones and SM.
    Has at least helped me in forming my opinions

    I’m not saying it’s not genuine however it’s not difficult to put on a blue arm band for propaganda purposes.. so who knows l.

    Ukraine offering neutrality in return for very strong security guarantees to be provided by not only Russia but also key other countries, including the U.K.

    Do you think the British government will want to guarantee the security of Ukraine, which presumably means intervening if Russia attacks in the future?

    Would you be comfortable with us giving this commitment?

    Just back from my usual morning run and had a great listen to series 3/Episode 4 of the Conflicted Podcast.
    Recorded 4 weeks before the invasion of Ukraine, it goes deeply in to the Geographical and Geopolitical reasons for why Russia invaded, and the years old link to previous conflicts in the area, such as with Georgia and Chechnya.
    The presenter also makes it plainly clear by a later recorded introduction, that he is not an apologist for Putin, and lays the blame for the war solely on Putins shoulders. However, like myself and others, believes that only through analysis of history, sometimes going back centuries, can we understand where we are today.
    I would urge anyone on here who wants to gain some kind of understanding to listen to at least this episode, and if anyone does, I would genuinely welcome their comments.
    Thanks to Steels and Raving for getting me into this superb podcast

    One of my sister in laws runs a charity action group for the elderley in our local town. The stories she is telling us are quite disturbing. One old lady just hasnt got a single spare penny from her pension to by food with. She gets a delivery from the food bank. She doesnt put any heating or lighting on as she cant afford to. She sits shivering under blankets in complete darkness. This is a former nurse, worked all her life being forced into complete misery by a bunch of ruthless, corrupt lying bastards that run this country. The sooner these ****ers go the sooner we can start to emerge from the dark ages they are intent on taking us back to.
    House a Ukranian?! Try sort your own house first you ****in cretin Johnson.
