Accept it doesn't show or even suggest any civilians on the beach have been or would be killed.

Yep, there haven't been reports of any tourists killed or injured on the beach, though Ukraine's public service warning about not going on holiday next to an air base in occupied territory during a war seems like good advice.

Aside from that it’s still hilarious

It's a serious warning, but they are also trolling Putin with this line 'Because no amount of sunscreen will protect them from the hazardous effects of smoking in unauthorised areas', and yes, that is funny.

Personally I don’t find videos of terrified civilians fleeing a beach whilst on holiday because of shelling funny even if it is welcomed or encouraged by some posters on here as it is trolling Putin . Horses for courses though , it’s a big and scary world .

 

[Artaxerxes]

It’s a definite change in direction to say “we can and will fight back and take territory from 2014”


War is an ugly fucking business and it’s a way to put the lie to Putins “special operation, it was a totally expected practice explosion” and facade of Russia in business as usual rhetoric that the state tv is doing its best to blast out.

Especially if you choose to go on holiday to a war zone.

Probably wasn't thought to be a war zone when they booked, and has seen no direct effects of the war until now.

Good fascists and bad fascists... good civilians and bad civilians. What is war hysteria doing to people?

In which wars are akin to a game of football for those who watch from a very long distance.

One of my earliest football memories was when Brazil played Italy in the 1970 World Cup Final, and it seemed to 7 year-old me that everybody but everybody wanted Brazil to win and Italy were clear baddies (who bottled it in WW2.)* The reaction of all the armchairs to this war sort of reminds me of that.


*I supported Italy.

A better comparison is like saying you supported the German camp guards against the PoWs in Escape to Victory because you thought Sylvester Stallone and Pele were cunts.

And a better comparison still: all the armchairs are glued to their screens just like they're merely enjoying another showing of 'Escape to Victory.'

Of course, their self image requires that they conjure up a sense of moral outrage and horror, but at the same time they make plans for the weekend.

I normally ignore your posts, and this post has reminded why, you really are a complete twat.

Or maybe one of the 247,000 Russians who moved there after it was anexed and moved in the homes who has to leave.

It's just endless variations on "You live in a home with furniture and heating, your argument is invalid."

Whatever wrongs have been committed, civilians are still civilians.

I've never said anybody's argument is invalid, just that this war has clearly entertained a certain type of people greatly. Seems to have given them a new lease of life, you could even say.

Definitely some new hobbies-going on Twitter for the exciting viewpoint of amateur military strategists who provide nifty sattelite images of death and destruction to name only one.

Of course, all of this is better when you're able to do it in comfort, without having to even take your slippers off. And you never even have to cancel your plans for the weekend.

I don't think anyone wants any harm to come to civilians, Russian or otherwise, but given the utter horror inflicted on Ukraine's civilian population by the Russian forces over the last six months, I think you can forgive a bit of schadenfreude at watching Russian civilians (safely) fleeing occupied Crimea, upset that their vacation has been cut short.

By the way, they've just finished counting the bodies in Bucha. 458 Ukrainian civilians. Nine of them children.

So some people at least do indeed want to see harm come to civilians, as long as they're the right civilians.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Having a laugh at people having to cut short their holiday to occupied Crimea is not the same as wishing them harm, you fucking dickhead.

The only person being hysterical here is you, nobody has categorised people into those groups you drama queen.

Don't see that you're somebody who has much right to laugh at anybody else. Just listen to yourself. Are you 12?

Why don't you answer my points? How is having a laugh at people cutting their holiday short wishing them harm?

458 dead civilians in Bucha by the way.

You know as well as anybody what was implied in that Ukrainian government tweet.

Why do you keep quoting Bucha at me? For one thing, I didn't kill them and for another, having argued that the war was a mistake all along and could/ should have been avoided, have expressed no enthusiasm for the deaths of civilians or anybody else.

Others, meanwhile, enthusiasically cheer on a fight to the finish, with no apparent regard for the body count, and as if there can possibly be a nice outcome and it will all have been worth it.

Because 458 civilian executions in Bucha is not the same as telling Russian holiday makers they might not want to book a vacation in Crimea anytime soon.

Both as bad as each other in your world though.

You've just asked me to answer your points, and now you're arguing against what you want me to have said instead of what I actually do say. 'My world' exists only in your head.
