It's good that Russia under Putin has never done anything dodgy in the UK.

It would be good to get it clear, whether posters on urban are actually being accused of "supporting Russian war crimes".
Can anyone clarify? Is there anyone out there who genuinely believes that other urban posters "support Russian war crimes"?

Loads of allegations of that on this very thread.

It's not really possible to be politically opposed to Ukraine's self-defence without being politically supportive of Russian victory, regardless of how explicit you are about it.
I'd imagine they don't so much support Russian war-crimes as minimise them and spend time reading about Ukrainian ones.

To sit around in Moldova as part of a force that deterred Moscow from playing silly buggers in Transnistria? On full pay? If I was 30 years younger and able-bodied? And if for some unknown reason we’d moved from having a small but professional army to random conscription, like jury service?
Sure. But it’s a pretty odd question.
Happy for my taxes to pay for missiles that take out Putin’s war machine, though, more to the point. As a good European.

Do you think people are "politically opposed to Ukraine's self-defence"? Do you mean on pacifist grounds?

Tankie grounds, I expect, but ask them, not me.

heckling from the back!
You are ignoring the role of the aircraft flown by entities such as the RAF and USAF ...
I was talking more about such things as Patriot batteries and similar ground-based systems.
The missiles etc hung on the current RAF 'planes are less backwardly compatible than some people think.
I hope that the boffins in the defence industry are working on a way to defeat the FAB / guided bombs ... other than relying on shooting down the aircraft involved - which isn't as easy as it sounds, although there are a few late Su-34 pilots that might disagree with that assertion.

It’s the only reply you’ll get, though, so you might as well enjoy it.

what do you mean that because i take relish in all news reports of a Russia advance and the thoughts of them winning the war
that you can accuse me of supporting their war crimes .. how dare you
btw if you show any support for Ukraine, you are by direct action a supporter of nazism and the actions of the Waffen SS

Perhaps this is an only slightly related question, but have sanctions ever worked?

At the goal that was advertised when they were set up.

They've worked in Russia, just not to the extent that the west had hoped. Russia's factories are producing less complex arms (eg: T-90M) for themselves than when they were exporting. It's clear that santions on electronics and optics have had an effect there. However, Russia is quite self sufficient in things like artillery shells, mines, and simple drones. Which are what's winning things for them right now. And since tank on tank battles have proven to be quite rare, their stash of old tanks works on their favour.

It's a good thing you're not a magistrate or judge, with an attitude like that you'd bang people up for simple sarcasm

That is perhaps the only thing they (sanctions) do - "look, we've done something"
