Haha

Yes, because I said Putin should invade to crush natzi Ukraine???

Not that I hoped there would be no war and Putin is the bad man😉...and I hoped UK and USA troops would not go to ukraine to fight Russians, which was also twisted to say I was pro-Putin.🤣


Please show how I am a Putin fanboy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't need to, you do a great job all by yourself. Then after being challenged, asked to back up your comments you lash out. As i pointed out on Saturday, you're inconsistent and try too hard to be contrarian.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not so, I did not lash out, but you posted Feck Off, bullsht, nob etc to me🤣🤣

A quick Google search of far right Ukrainian groups such as Azof Battalions will reveal a sinister presence.

You said the far right besmirch and contaminate causes they align themselves to, when we discussed the truckers in Canada!!!

Again, the fact the far right are in Ukraine is no excuse for Putin to call them all natzis and no reason to invade.

I stand with Ukraine against Putin, so worst bot and apologist ever👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I stand by every word.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please provide proof that I am an apologist and Putin bot?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Never called you a bot. Anyone really interested only needs to go back a week or so to see your comments and they can make their own mind up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But you think I am an apologist for Putin?

Provide proof please, from my posts recently👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not trawling back, I've made my mind up.
Your tune has changed in recent days but let's not pretend you tried had to see his point of view and most of the rest of us were ignorant/blinkered/hypocritics unaware of the Russian speakers blah blah
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I said I hoped Putin would not invade and that we should not go to war in Ukraine to fight Russians, after numerous other failed interventions, and that was appeasement, lol

I did not give the Putin side, but few if any are talking to ordinary Russians, many of whom oppose Putin, but their voices are not heard on western media.

There is now some anti-Rissian sentiment lumping all Russians in with Putin, but people in the Donbas and Russia have a story too that we rarely if ever hear.

I did not try to view the situation through Putin's lense.

And when did highlighting far right and natzi nutters become an issue?

Especially as I also linked in Russian far right racists and far right in America who have similar views , torchlight parades, marches, uniforms and symbols to their Ukraine Viking 88 mates.

It's funny I'm being lumped in re: clashes with TBAB etc.

I filtered the contrarian russian apologist 3 days ago, and have only mentioned him twice in that time.. both today.

Tries too hard to be a contrarian instead of having an opinion, and needs to have things explained to him repeatedly before he will listen.

That alone suggests he's highly receptive to misinformation campaigns (throw enough mud etc) as it's repetition that gets through to him.

I will generally not mind reading his posts, but on this subject, him and peks have been making pretty disgusting posts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You filtered him but only mentioned him twice 😂

What has he said that is “disgusting”, do not paraphrase or straw man, use exact quotes. You have a tendency to add or remove parts of what people have said that completely change the meaning of their posts. You & Rosso both did the same a week or so ago and you did the same to me also.

Perhaps the direct quotes won’t be “disgusting”? Perhaps they will, we’ll find out.

Robb said something the other day and NPE replied questioning why Robb hadn’t called it ‘horrifying or scary etc’ (I am paraphrasing) and Robb replied ‘it goes without saying’; I agree with Robb in this regard.

I don’t think it’s a problem to discuss the possible motivations that Putin has. Kyiv for example has a strong cultural link for Russians (I’m no expert) I believe religion comes into it and it was a much bigger city than Moscow used to be.

Clearly Putin is a twisted man who is looking to be remembered in history. During his time the Russian approval rating for Stalin has risen to 70%, which is bonkers.

Anyway, I look forward to reading what TBAB specifically wrote which was disgusting. Peks is another guy and has some strange opinions but each to their own.

Even if TBAB is wrong, you don’t all need to jump on him like a bunch of jackals and labelling him like you have.

I doubt any of you think that TBAB supports Putin by any means so why pile in? It’s quite pathetic to see tbh (not singularly aimed at you Insert) but we saw the same with the Sadiq Khan debate where he was described as crap and that escalated into a complete farce. I was complicit in allowing you all to do it by even entertaining the discussion but that’s something for me to remedy going forward.

Possibly because you call me a Russian apologist and twist my words, now saying a school was bombed, perhaps because they were natzis, which is standard you point scoring and sick.

You said you thought Russia would not invade, and one reason was western troop deployment and sanctions, on your own echo chamber Current events thread and filtered me after I pointed out your hypocrisy,
And then when Putin invaded, played told you so and attacked other posters, then made it bash a Tory over sanctions.

You filtered me before when I said the remain march did not overturn the leave vote, because you cannot stand people highlighting facts and reality.

Could someone reply to this to let insert read it, cheers🤣👍

Love this

‘Ukrainian sailor arrested for partially sinking luxury yacht of his Russian boss in Spain’

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/alexander-mijeev-yatch-ukraine-sailor-spain-b2024644.html?amp
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was the Russian boss a Putin man or supportive of his invasion?

Are all Russians bad now?

This is also why I post, because now all Russians are being lumped in with Putin, when many or not, but guilty by association, which is dangerous.

Bandwagons are easy to jump on.

Can you provide proof the Russian deserved this, Rosso?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you read the article, you’ll learn that he runs a Russian state-owned weapons supplier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did read it, he was head of Russian Helicopter industry until 2016 then joined Rostec....

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah, I’d say he deserved it.

To be honest, I’d also have found the story hilariously funny if the megayacht had been owned by an executive working for Lockheed Martin, or BAE Systems, or any given company in the business of profiting from the manufacture of drones, thermobaric weapons or landmines anywhere in the world.

Not being deliberately argumentative with you tbab (for once) but you're trying to rewrite your post history.
Yes you didn't want UK/US boots on the ground (nobody did) but framed it around the futility of NATO, weak Biden, that the Russian speakers in Donbass had the right to protection, Ukranian artillary bombardments of that area, the Ukranian neo narrzis, all Putin talking points.

I think most people are being very deliberate in separating Russians from their leadership and if it is true that we don't hear from ordinary Russians that's probably because it's incredibly risky for them to speak out.

Neither is talking about Putin "Having a point" with regards to "denatzification" propoganda.

Nor repeatedly repeating said propoganda when given the information that disproved it.

So the only part of your prior post I will pick up on this the last paragraph. Everyone here has a burden of proof to back up their claims. You once asked me to evidence how we could have a 6k PA UBI for everyone over 18. It took me 30 minutes to do so, but I did because that was my belief and providing evidence for it is a sane and normal thing to do in discussion.

It's not quite as you paint it, a unique quirk the left require of the right. He makes stupid, dangerous statements, repeating propoganda that's leading to the murder of civilians as if contrarism or "balance" has any place in this discussion.

Then you took his (ridiculous) explanation as true rather than read the last two days pages (far enough).

And yes, mentioned twice because people have been insinuating I've been arguing with him I kind of have to mention him to point out that... I haven't..

And that's my last post on the subject, leave the Russian bots/useful idiots to it.

This 'pile on' narrative is boring af! Any random comment is fair game for challenge, if individual posters have an issue with a comment its their right to challenge it. If it happens that multiple posters want to challenge the same comment that's not a pile on, it's multiple posters having an issue with that comment/s.

Stop trying to stifle debate.

Cheers comrade, a few posters will do the same to you or JS or NPE on occasion, twisting our words and demonizing us as bogeymen, like kids in school.

Guys such as HEC, insert, Sizzle, Arab, bb7, Fields, Redinthehead etc have been piling on for years, because they do not want other opinion on their threads, so every now and then they will target a poster to try to shut them down or undermine and smear them.

Both sides do this at times, but due to numbers it is often fairly one way traffic....anything conservative or unionist or not of a certain dogma or narrative is not allowed fair hearing, so we are told we do not listen or understand or we are far right etc etc.

It's a shame really, as we had moved forward lately, but old habits are returning from the usual subjects, who then claim to be right on progressives on the right and nice side of history

Putin does not have a point and his denatzification line is propaganda to invade Ukraine, for the umteenth time, lol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So do I really. 🤷‍♂️ Is everyone in the weapons industry fair game?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Executives, for me, yes, personally.

That said, I also had a friend who went to do contracting (non-technical) work for a UK company which provides guidance technology for weaponised drones.

She wasn’t short of work, and could have turned them down and found an alternative (possibly less well paid?) quite easily.

She was the first person in my life I actively ‘unfriended’.

No you're not! 😂😂 Now I do think you are a bit loony.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bastirt lol....I am shy and usually chilled, but have a red mist and can be a loony.

You made a decent point in your reply to Peks on the danger of using quotes from people on social media claiming to be ordinary Russians, when they could be anyone.

Admin also pointed to these dangers last night and so I said I would end my posts about aszof Battallion far right in Ukraine, because that could and is being used by Putin and bots to cover an act of aggression and evil.

However, some posters keep this going today calling me an apologist for Russia and Putin and returning to the far right claims, agreeing with me on Russian far right, but not so keen on their Ukrainian brothers far right nationalist being highlighted?

Which I get, and 4za reinforced this to me, so I will no longer mention the far right in Ukraine, for the sake of admin, the thread and innocent people of Ukraine being murdered by the real far right natzi in the room, Putin.

I will ignore those trying to start this argument again.

Peace and good luck to Ukraine.
