This has always been true, and the source of initiative in the war hasn't moved at all, in fact Putin is in a stronger diplomatic position now than he was before the start of the Ukraine counter-offensive. He could end it on his terms at any time by offering some minor face-saving measure to Washington, but he knows quite well if he holds off and Trump wins he can get considerably more.
I don't believe you. Going by your "contributions" here, you'll be rubbing your hands with glee at the prospect of Zelenskyy/Ukraine going down the shitter.
Oh, do fuck off. My "war enthusiasm" is all in your head.
You start with a falsehood. I have never asserted the US lead the conflict.
Didn't he hug/shake hands with the new Argentinian President as well? That was a poor joke.
I imagine it's always been the case that threatening or abusive PMs aren't subject to the same restrictions. And surely there's a difference between forwarding such messages to a mod and posting them in the fora?
Your analysis seems to have been taken from a Bond movie. A big baddie. The forces of good lined up against them.
TBF, the US was barely involved by 1942, and the USSR was busily dealing with its own interests. The UK and its allies were definitely doing very, very badly indeed at the beginning of 1942, to the point that it would have looked at the time like Germany might prevail.
Do you think it's Zelensky then?
Yea, that's just one bad faith troll.
Who was the silly sod who posted that myself and my family deserved to be killed?
While suggesting that someone "deserves to be killed" is a deeply unpleasant thing to say to anyone, it's not exactly a death threat, is it?
If I wanted to say the US leads the conflict I would have done so.
That looks very much as though you are saying so, in fact I'm not sure how else you'd expect someone to take "The US are in fact front left and centre," but as I said, if it's not then fine. Do you think it's Zelensky then?
Can you point out which part of this statement is untrue, please?
It's a thinly veiled threat. Imho.
So the person was banned almost immediately. Which is how it should be.
Maybe I'm creating an artificial distinction here, but I do see a very clear distinction between saying unpleasant, nasty things to someone and actually putting them in fear of their life. A death threat is, IMO, a very serious - arguably criminal - matter. That is not to diminish other activities, but the risk here is that if claims like TopCat's aren't challenged, before long he'll be considering mere disagreement with him as some kind of existential threat. If he doesn't already.
The US are front left and centre as they are spending billions on arms. They don’t lead the conflict though.
So do you think Zelensky leads the conflict (for the third time)?
He leads for the Ukrainians.
Was I complaining? Your confusing Editors self riotous interrogations with me directing a question to Ukraine/NATO supporters albeit in a slightly insulting manner.
I doubt it. For a start it’s against the law to enter negotiations. Plus he is so wedded to his delusions of victory, and the human price has been so high, that I think the decision or move to end it will come in spite of him. Maybe be his end.
