You want open borders.

You think all Brexit voters were racist.

You think Brexit is to blame for all our problems.

No one is actually saying any of these things.

Don’t wriggle Bracknell…you’re becoming worse than Goldie.
You insinuated that what you listed was down to Brexit…..which to anyone with any ounce of intelligence knows it isn’t.

Except I didn’t, though Brexit exacerbates all the other problems by being a massive unnecessary hit to the economy as well as giving right wing simpletons (hello to both) some feeling of vindication in their beliefs.

WOW…….Never thought you of all people would condone cold blooded murder.

Ah well, the Russki bastards deserved it, eh ? Probably

We have been here before on this moral argument.

There are very few good guys in a war.

What would you do then. You have fought for days to recapture your home town, several of your mates have been killed, you get there, the town is destroyed, there are mines everywhere. Your wife and child are murdered, your mother raped.....


I am just saying.. I do not condone it...and the most wonderful moral people, would give the surrendering soldiers some soup, and take them to a safe haven.

I am not sure what I would do.

What would you do Stainsey

Ukraine war: Were Russian soldiers shot after surrendering?
You must log in or register to see images

A video has emerged from the front line in eastern Ukraine showing the surrender of a group of soldiers in an incident that appears to end in their deaths.

Russia has reacted to the footage, accusing Ukraine of executing Russian prisoners of war, which would be a war crime. Ukraine has not yet responded to the allegations.

The BBC has not been able to establish Russia's assertions from the video alone, but we've been studying the footage, trying to piece together what might have happened.

Warning: This piece contains graphic images which some may find upsetting.

The incident happened on or before Saturday 12 November in Makiyivka, a village on the front line in Luhansk region.

The Russians opened fire whilst surrendering. Thr Ukrainians were outnumbered and followed the rules of engagement.

Now look into the sledgehammer video. Or the live castration video. Or the Azov POW camp being blown up intentionally to cover the signs of torture. Or any of the vile stuff the Russians have been doing.

Nobody knows what they would do until they are actually in that situation Beth - sadly war can turn otherwise normal people into crazed animals. If the War itself doesn't do this then so called ''combat drugs'' will. The Wehrmacht used Pervitin (amphetamine derivative) in World War 2, the Americans used the same thing in Korea and Vietnam. And several armies of today use drugs to suppress hunger, increase sustained effort, increase wakefullness, suppress fear and to reduce empathy. Sadly these things are still in use in todays military and some have been found on both sides in this conflict..
