Got a really fucking shitty attitude
Are you trying to be some kind of liberal caricature on here?Ah, the we're all puppets of the Jews argument.

I haven't said I'm better than anybody. And I was replying to somebody who said quite openly that he thinks the war is good because it's got clear goodies and baddies (perhaps a bit like an old western film where the red-skinned barbarians get their due from the civilising Europeans.)You are a cynic, and a bullshitter. You can have NO idea about what most people "sitting safely at home" are feeling...and you demonstrate that ignorance on a daily basis. It must be comforting, at least, to live under the delusion that you are somehow better than the rest of us...or at least better than how you perceive us to be. Of course, to the rest of us, you look like a cynic, a bullshitter, and a twat. You could do something about that, but I know you won't.
You're despicable.
You suck at retortsPre-emptive nuclear strike on the US by Russia.
You don't support Ukraine. You just cheer them on from the safety of 1500 miles away, apparently under the impression that they can hear you.It would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic, how blatantly happy you are to apply a double standard when it comes to Russian attitudes vs Ukrainian ones.
Still, even though it isn't funny, it shows us clearly how shallowly hollow your claim not to be biased to one side or the other is. At least most of those of us who support Ukraine don't attempt to pull, as you are, the Judas trick and deny it.
'They' don't. But even if 'they' did it wouldn't actually affect anything.They claim not to be on the side of the aggressor, but it's quite clear by now where they stand.
You affect nothing as well, you sorry ass miserable plop.'They' don't. But even if 'they' did it wouldn't actually affect anything.

He's a history of questionable posts. Used to slag off disabled people as lletsa or jurihahay or whatever returning moniker.That's certainly one of the dumbest things you have posted, did becoming a dickhead occur naturally, or did you go on some course?
All along I've pointed out that none of us are affecting what happens in Ukraine in any way.You affect nothing as well, you sorry ass miserable plop.
You only post here in an attempt to bring people down, trying to show your superiority because you once had a piss over there 30 years ago.
You're not fooling anyone.
I apologise. I expect his inbox is full of grateful emails from beleagured Ukrainians.That's certainly one of the dumbest things you have posted, did becoming a dickhead occur naturally, or did you go on some course?
Nah.All along I've pointed out that none of us are affecting what happens in Ukraine in any way.
I can't think of anybody who didn't oppose the invasion.Nah.
All along you've accused people here who opposed the invasion as being pro-war, pro-NATO and bigging up the carnage.
You can fuck off. And yes, that really is the level of debate that your idiotic posts warrant.You don't support Ukraine. You just cheer them on from the safety of 1500 miles away, apparently under the impression that they can hear you.
Fuck off then.I can't think of anybody who didn't oppose the invasion.
But I fail to see how any of us, pro-war or otherwise are affecting anything via keyboard.
'They' don't. But even if 'they' did it wouldn't actually affect anything.
I fail to see why some posters get so upset about a differing opinion on threads where 90% agree with them.You can fuck off. And yes, that really is the level of debate that your idiotic posts warrant.

The bigger picture has to start in the Gorbachev period when, with western encouragement, the section of the old elite who had become most influential adopted the economic policies that would soon see Russian society subjected to the so-called shock therapy experiment. The resulting impoverishment of the vast majority made the kind of Russia we see today inevitable. And that kind of Russia can only be nationalistic. And nationalists in Russia will only see Ukraine, and NATO expansion (especially with a view to including Ukraine), in one way.Ah yes, the "narrative of the pro-war establishment". Remind me, the foreign troops that have been occupying Ukrainian territory since 2014, along with conducting a wholesale invasion in 2022, where do they come from? They are from Russia, yes? Not NATO? It astounds me how self-professed "anti-war" types in the West will ignore the blatantly obvious. The Kremlin's actions make them as pro-war as it's possible to get short of starting WWIII, but strangely enough they never figure in "peacemonger" rhetoric.
What's this "bigger picture" that apparently excuses Russian warmongering? NATO expansion? OK, let's keep widening our scope. Why might so many of Russia's neighbours prefer a NATO presence over a Russian one?
I'm not really bothered about 'how I come across.' After all, there's room for all shades of twat on these boards.For me it's not the content; it's the arrogant, patronising, and generally unpleasant tone which you deliver your opinions in. That and your continual refusal to actually clearly answer questions.
I really hope you come across better in real life or I'd say you must be a thoroughly nasty person. Maybe your avatar tagline is a 'many a true word is spoken in jest' thing?

There has been a sick sense of inevitability about it all. And the tragedy is that the conflct will still be raging in some form as long as most of us on here remain alive.
I keep reading it as Putin's statins...Every time I see this thread title, I think it must be the name of some new computer game.

That's because you're an ignorant moron.I fail to see why some posters get so upset about a differing opinion on threads where 90% agree with them.
You really aren't that special.However, it's notable that the same small group of posters have chosen yet again to write about another poster. It seems harder for them to give up than heroin.
Ideology is a major factor. Putin actually did seem open to friendly, if cool, relations with the west at first, but the latter was still largely run by people who had the same illusions (to one degree or another) about 'The End of History' that prevailed at the end of the Cold War, and imagined that the impoverishment of Russia would put ideas of empire on the back-burner, leaving them free to continue pursuing the 'backing Russia into a corner' policies which had so annoyed Yeltsin and co. in the end, after they'd previously been, quite possibly, the most western-friendly gang to run Russia in history. It was a complete misjudgement of both history and Putin and co., who were not prepared to see Russia become just any other country-it isn't how they, and evidently much of the Russian population, see themselves, and there's nothing anybody can do about that. They have a different ideology, or ideologies.OK, if we're gonna treat longer-term geopolitical trends like impersonal forces, then that still leaves the problem in the present to deal with. As an analogy, the fact that past anthropogenic GHG emissions have contributed to the greater incidence of wildfires in the present, is not in itself an argument against protecting life and property through firefighting.
Never said I was. After all, it isn't 'me' writing about 'me.' It's you lot.You really aren't that special.
