Down The Primrose Path

From a kooky little site called Amnesty International.

Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion that began in February, Amnesty International said today.

Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets. The ensuing Russian strikes in populated areas have killed civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure.

“We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

“Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law.”

  1. If that upsets you, wait till you find out what Russia is doing.

    Do you want a link to the video of the Russian orc castrating a Ukrainian soldier with a box knife?

    1. alla unDork
      Give it up, you are wrong so consistently in here, you ‘d think you would learn to grasp the CONTEXT, and some facts before posting. The Uke nazis have been playing dirty all along. As to yer mewling about the Russians, have you ever heard of Hollywood, and watched a movie made there?????
      You are beyound stupid. I used to run into fools like you when trouble shooting production problems. Just meet the idiot, and zI didn’t have to look at the mechanical end of things.

      1. There’s something deeply wrong with you, GYM. Allan S. and I have had our run ins as well, but I don’t go off with both barrels just because I don’t like what he said. But Allan isn’t your only target, isn’t he, GYM? I can attest to that.

        Tact certainly isn’t in your arsenal, isn’t it, GYM, you maroon. You really don’t have a lot of fans here, as you keep proving over and over again.

        Go ahead! Let me have it! I wear your diatribes as a badge of honor, because I’m in good company.

        1. “There’s something deeply wrong with you…”

          True, dumb, ugly and rabid is not a way to go through life, but there is no point to validate it. Safe to treat as white noise, as it is 100% substance free, 100% of the time.

          1. Of course not. Russia is on the other side using their time patented Mongol tactics of genocide, ethnic cleansing, gulag etc. You will really feel like $hit when you the facts will force themselves upon you.

          2. COLON R~4 and yer side dick fc the the idiot bible thumper
            My IQ is higher than than yer m2 combined! And I keep myself well informed.
            fc, Kate should block the troll unAllan, as he like so many other lefty stupids spread lies, that may be believed by some who only read in here. Butt you have never shown any smarts.
            and colon functions like a emotional 15 year old girl!

      2. So should the Uke nazis just roll over and surrender to the Russian commies?

        Is that what Taiwan should do to China?

        Those dam revolutionaries that took on the British. We should still be a colony.

      3. How does it feel to be not only on the wrong side of history, but the losing side too?

        1. Allan

          How is you have never refuted these little Tidbits.

          How does a 2 bit comedian become President.? Zelensky.
          ..and how is it that he can afford a 35 Million mansion in South Florida..? He and his multitude of oligarch buddies…all of who seem to own multi million dollar mansion (also in the Caribbean) replete with 120′ Mega Yachts..?

          Who and for what purpose were the ~26 Bio Weapons Labs & possible Fentanyl production facilities for.??
          All seemingly run by Ex Pat Western (Canadian – US), Generals.?

          What is their (Ukraine’s), relationship with Mexican Cartels..??

          Do you not find it rather odd, that the Entire Western Hemisphere PolitBureau is so adamant to Support Ukraine…and I include the Global MSM, Every Western Politician, the Rothschilds/WEF & Cabal et all ….WHY..?? All spending Billions in support.

          Because IMO, The stakes (Trillions in Dirty money), is the sole reason…and I fully believe You my friend are a bona fide useful idiot & a wholly owned subsidiary of said cabal.

          Russia Will Win this Hands down…bet on it..!

      1. That’s very possible. They get a few things right now and then, but are a “progressive” (aka far left) organization

    2. I understand that the DPR and possibly the LPR will be having necktie parties for all the invited westerners wearing certain oriental good luck charms. You should ask for an invite.

      1. Yes, Donbabwe and Luganda orcs threaten to murder POW.
        Orcs gonna orc
        Subhumans cheer them.
        Film at 11.

    3. about that video… Why were the ‘orcs’ wearing Ukraine issued shoes and shirts? The only thing that Russia would gain by committing atrocities would be the enmity of the people they hope to live in peace with in the future, and drawing NATO deeper into the war. “Cui bono” says that Ukraine is by default behind these atrocities as ways to gain western support. It would also make their own soldiers fight harder before surrender, like the Japanese did in WWII when they were heavily propagandized that the US would torture all captured Japanese.

      It’s also likely no coincidence that this appeared right at a time that Ukraine shelled its own POWs who were talking about how orders to commit atrocities against Russian POWs came from the top.

      It’s impossible to know who is lying from this distance, but the logic of war says its Ukraine.

      1. You do know the video was published on Russian Telegram first right? All the Russians were celebrating like the savages they are.

        Nobody from Russia has said it was fake. They WANT it to be real.

    4. Is this the same group that regularly goes after Canada for its treatment of First Nations? Oh…. Thought so. So let me ask, why would you believe them now? Oh… Because they suddenly support your view. Okay, I got it.

      Personally, as long as they condemn Putin’s fascists for doing the same…. Which they are, I will give consideration to what they have to say.

    5. YouTube.. Redacted, alternative news source. Not a fan of biden,Trudough,Zelensky etc.. Well done.

    1. Sure, but one side has been doing far more and far worse war crimes. Then Russia turns around and accuses Ukraine of doing it. Butterfly mines come to mind.

      The recent bombing of Ukrainian POWs also comes to mind. Russia produced pieces of a HIMARS rocket as proof. Yet the building is largely intact, an impossibility with a precision HIMARS strike. Then there’s the satellite images of Russians digging mass graves the day before.

      1. Or course Siberians did that. There was no point for Ukrainians to do it and they have been very carefully what to target with HIMARS. Anyone who believes Ukrainians hit that barrack probably believes Poles stormed the Gleiwitz radiostation.

      2. LOL. The Ukrainians are shelling Russian populations with those butterfly mines to draw Russia away from the final battle for Donbas to try to stop it, the way the allies drew Hitler into retaliation for the bombing of Berlin by bombing London instead of sticking to his knitting and taking out the RAF. This blunder likely cost Hitler the war, well, until the US got the bomb.

        Caesar used the same tactic, of sending raiding parties to attack the farms of enemy fighters so that they would desert to defend their homes. If you had any familiarity with military history at all, you would see that Ukraine has cold, logical reasons to attack ethnic Russian civilians.

        1. “This blunder likely cost Hitler the war”

          Nope Sealion was never an option regardless of how BofB would have turned out. The only way UK could have been thrown out of war was if they lost Battle of Atlantic.

          Of course your comparison is stupid and your point of view distorted by Pootin’s testicles bouncing of your forehead.

          “If you had any familiarity with military history at all,”

          Clearly you don’t.

      3. If Russia has done worse things, why is Amnesty international denouncing Ukraine?

        Are we supposed to believe that Amnesty international – like Trump – are Russian agents?

        if you believe that, you must believe the moon is made of Swiss Cheese

      4. “Sure, but one side has been doing far more and far worse war crimes.”

        And that makes it okay, right?

        (that’s the kind of ‘reasoning’ that a child might manage…I can’t believe you even posted it, it is so embarrassingly naive…)

    2. Nobody seems to consider that possibility. It’s not necessary to pick a side — beyond your own.

      1. Of course you don’t have to pick a side. On one side you have desperate people fighting to preserve their way of life, their sense of nationhood, their families and their homes. They are led by an imperfect leader, who has risen to occasion beyond the wildest of expectations. The people themselves aren’t perfect, but they are courageous and genuine in their willingness to sacrifice for their countrymen. The nation, despite political turmoil prior to invasion, is more united than ever in their steadfast will to resist the invasion. They are begging for help and they are paying a huge price while bleeding out OUR enemies.

        On the other side you have murderous, genocidal machine hellbent on ethnic cleansing and erasing any trace of Ukrainian nationhood. You have rabid mongrels who carve “who let you live that well?” on the corpses of their raped victims. You have invaders who place landmines under the bodies of their fallen comrades or victims. You have an Asiatic horde recruited from the deepest shitholes in Siberia and Far East and unleashed on the defenders. A horde grown up in utter poverty and violence that hates and despises those who have it better. You have allah akbaring jihadists and mercenaries from the Wagner Group that make Kaminsky Brigade look like pikers. You have routine torture in filtration camps. You have “evacuation routes” that lead only to filtration camps. You have tens (if not hundreds) of thousands sent to gulags, their children forever kidnapped and disappeared into the nightmare of russia. You have the greatest genocide and ethnic cleansing in Europe since WWII. Literarily that. And they’re led by a stone cold sociopath with no capacity for empathy. A sociopath who have been adopted twice, who like the horde grew up in poverty like the very cornered rat he likes to reminisce about. A pathological liar and a coward who will never hesitate to use others to murder for him.

        But sure, don’t pick a side. Besides, of all the world wars only two started nearby. What’s the worst that can happen? Peace of our times and pourquoi mourir pour Dantzig?

        1. Reply to Colonialista
          ‘corpses of their raped victims.’
          When I see images of Russian troops pulling up their pants after repeatedly raping a 75 year old man?
          In Nam I would have smoked his ass and cleaned the Shit off his balls and stuffed it inside his face.
          We killed several Russian bastards trying to be Viet Cong reparation and rape heroes.

      2. I don’t know Kate, here I am twix the Russia and Canada trying to decide which is the more totalitarian and Marxist. 😉

        Seriously though young lady, you’re spot on right & yea but is never a valid argument.

    1. True that. I mean their usual activity is condemning Israel for every imagined slight the Palestinians can make up. Why are they suddenly in the Ukraine? Definitely off the plantation.

      1. “True that. I mean their usual activity is condemning Israel for every imagined slight the Palestinians can make up. Why are they suddenly in the Ukraine? Definitely off the plantation.”

        I can still remember a time when they there were a legitimate and respected organization. Sad to see what they have become.

    1. HA
      Not as bad as a mercenary Joe Biden trying to support any war. Billions to be grafted. Hairy legs to be stroked. And refugees children to be sniffed.
      Then Putin can kiss and fondled their little round bellybutton.
      Sickening Sons of Bitches, Deserve to be Nuked.

    1. Mike
      And that was engineered by the same people who got the Syrian war started, so did you have a point? Or don’t you understand when dim politicians tell you you are in a proxy war?

    2. After eight years of people in the Dunbas being shelled, sold into sex slavery and otherwise abused by the Azov Nazis. it’s hardly an invasion when the local people are begging you to please come rescue them.

      1. Pure Kremlin propaganda. But keep repeating it for 8 years and people will believe it.

        Offer proof. Patrick Lancaster isn’t proof

        1. Azov are Nazis. Do a google search with the date set between 2014 and 2021 on Ukraine and “Nazi” and see. what the press was saying before orders came down that the nazis were our friends and now they are “not-sees.”

          1. Yeah, edumbacate yourself via google. What could possibly go wrong? Meanwhile Azov’s are not Nazis. There were some Nazi sympathizers among them, most got purged during NATO retraining, but that is no a big deal in the first place. The only openly NAZI formation is Sparta Reconnaissance battalion, and they are fighting for Pootin.

  2. It’s a war, for crying out loud. Bad things happen to a lot of people – bystanders included.

    Amnesty International needs to go find a safe space, and STFU.

  3. I wonder if there’s a report on Russia bombing civilian areas because there might be a defensive military position there?
    Is that allowed by international humanitarian law? I wouldn’t be surprised at this point.

    “We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

    Really? Last I checked it was the RUSSIAN forces putting civilians at risk and KILLING THEM by lobbing missiles into civilian areas. I don’t care if there’s a defensive position there legitimately or not.

    1. Fine for you, you don’t care about the rules of war either. Glad that you are nobody.

    2. Yep, I heard those sneaky Brits put AA around London circa 1940. They even had weapons and munitions factories there too.

  4. Practically speaking the war’s over in my opinion. Russia is not only winning on the battleground but are winning on the economic front as well. What a bonus for them to strangle energy starved Europe just before winter. Tells me European leaders/ideologues aren’t the deep thinkers they think they are.
    40 billion in aid from the U.S. and no one knows where it went, reports are now coming out that the arms and munitions intended for the war are now being sold on the internet.
    Well done. That clinking of glasses you hear are from the boardrooms of Raytheon, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas and other merchants of death. Raytheon share price a paltry $53.00 in 2020, now at $94.00. Yaaay!!!!!
    But hey, keep hanging that Uke flag outside your door like you care. Most Canadians couldn’t point the country out on a map if their lives depended on it.

    Totally agree with Julian Assange who said the purpose of wars isn’t to win them but to prolong them so corruptocrats/NGOs can get a steady stream of sympathy cash from the West.

    1. How is 14% inflation and GDP shrinking by 5% in 2022 “winning”?

      As far as the way on the ground, you alobviously aren’t paying close attention.

      1. So their inflation rate is only a little bit worse than ours, and their economy is contracting just a little bit faster? If by this measure we are winning, I’d hate to see defeat.

        Maybe we should cut our losses and let the two warring countries fight it out on their own.

      2. “How is 14% inflation and GDP shrinking by 5% in 2022 “winning”?
        Pffffftttt. Good news for the Europeans I’m sure who may suffer economically as well, not to mention being just a little colder this winter. LOL…“Yah, Russia’s economy is tanking, dat is goood news yah?…pass the candle Fritz”.

        When you put civilians in harm’s way…you’re losing. Hamas does the very same thing every time knowing they can’t win on the ground against Israel but hoping they’ll score a propaganda coup when school kids get killed. We’ve all seen that movie.

        “…aren’t paying close attention.”
        I was attentive enough to know the “Ghost of Kiev” was a steaming pile of propagandizing horseshit, just to name one example. Liberals sure bought into it though and that’s what’s important.
        On a lighter note – Democrats/regressives could always be counted on to trot out the perpetually obnoxious “We’re for the troops, not the war”. Now they’re for both.
        I wonder what changed?

  5. Decided to do a little homework on Raytheon’s institutional investors just for shits and giggles. Yup, Vanguard and Blackrock. I’m sure you’re just as shocked as I am. *sarc*

    1. Burton

      BAMN..!!

      THAT right there tells it all..!!
      With no significant US troops deployed in an Active war Zone, the Military Industrial Complex created one…

    2. burton
      A combined value of 17 trillion between those 2, they love them some war, so they can hit 20 trillion in value!

  6. Unlike some here, I am not a world-class geopolitical oracle but I would be willing to bet an affordable amount on the following outcome.

    In a year’s time, Russia will have carved out a good hunk of Ukraine, the rest of the world will have accepted it and Zelensky will be a billionaire living in exile.

    Ukraine will continue to be one of the most corrupt countries on the globe.

      1. “Spot on, PJ.”

        Agreed. Besides, Russia=Canada and Ukraine=Quebec in this conflict, and everyone in Russia and the Ukraine know that (it’s only the west that doesn’t).

        Just as an observation, though, I have noticed that the longer this conflict goes on the more people switch from “Damn, Russia must be really savage and bloodthirsty to invade the Ukraine without provocation like that!” to “Gee, a lot of stuff now just doesn’t add up…maybe there is more to this than meets the eye?”

        Russia, rightly or wrongly, IS going to win this conflict without direct NATO military intervention. Guaranteed. The only real question is how many Ukrainians will need to die first…and should the west and/or NATO be party to that? Should we continue to send them weapons until the very last one of them is dead? How does that help them?

      1. “Compared to which? Russia? China? North Korea? You Russian trolls are so incredibly unpersuasive.”

        But clever, right? I mean…opening accounts on Small Dead Animals *years* ago, acting just like regular posters, just biding our time and waiting to spring into action when our master finally demands it? Genius!

    1. I agree with Political junkie

      Ukraine will continue to be one of the most corrupt countries on the globe.

      Which is why Democrats, the Main Stream Media and Soros are rooting for Ukraine.

  7. Amnesia International is at it again.
    Examples of similar war crimes:
    Warsaw 1939 and 1944
    London 1940
    Moscow 1941
    Stalingrad 1942
    Leningrad 1941-1943
    Etc etc etc
    Sorry Amnesia, Ukrainians are not going to parade in open the field for Orcs to slaughter them. And yes, Ukrainians had, when/where possible, done everything to evacuate civilians. They got flat footed in Kherson and Mariupol where Ukrainians are now subjected to brutal russification, rape and terror, but did a much better job in Donbas where only orc collaborators stayed out of their free will … and then got raped, looted and killed.
    Siberians on the other hand are sending civilians to gulag and kidnaping their children. None of the resident Brohevicks seem to have problems with that.

    1. That’s a really good question. Right up there with ‘why did we involve ourselves in this ethic conflict in the first place?”

      The answer is likley a mix of true belivers being true believers and the west’s leaders needing to distract from their failures. The former think that the prolonged conflict and widespread deprivation are okay so long as the bete-noir of the month, Russia, gets crippled too. The latter are slowly realizing that the consequences of involving their countries in a matter that doesn’t concern them are worse than the failures they meant to distract the voters from. Fall and winter will be very interesting, as I doubt that the ordinary people will be inclined to blame Russia for the choices their leaders made.

      1. rectal COLON
        The Uke general population is not the problem, the leadershit is the problem. Zelenskyy is related to SorASS, and there in lies the problem, and you are too stupid to grasp that. I know a few Canadians of Ukrainian heritage, and they are good people, butt sorASS’ nephew is not so great, and the Nazis there are butchers, and so identified by boots on the ground, Butt as usual, you are emotionally stupidly embedded in any discussion on this matter.

          1. Let s say it is true that Russia is doing it, how does that make Ukraine not guilty of doing it?

          2. Facepalm. I am mocking Amnesia International for routinely being on the wrong side of most conflicts. Ukrainains are not guilty of doing it independently of russians doing it or russians not doing it. Capiche?

    2. I don’t know. Trudeau and Freeland are warmongers.

      Also, why are we entering a treaty with Finland / Sweden? I fail to see the upside.

        1. I’d be surprised if Russia invades Canada and if Russia does not invade Canada, why do we want responsibility for more border with Russia. Letting Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia into NATO was a mistake for Canada and new border countries Sweden / Finland compound the exposure … unless Trudeau / Freeland are warmongering to get Canada into a fight which Canada is ill suited to participate in.

      1. NATO is an organization that has persisted for thirty years past the collapse and breakup of it’s reason for existing.

        That brings the question: Why are we still a member of this thing?

        1. Because russia never changes and because soviet union was merely russian empire under new management.

    3. Ethnic conflict? Russians invading a nation with a different ethnicity is an invasion not an ethnic conflict. But I suppose your bosses in Moscow claim Ukrainians are Russians so you believe it, Ivan.

  8. Unfortunately Amnesty has lied so often that I wouldn’t believe them even if they were telling the truth.

    1. A stopped clock skows the right time twice a day. AI is like that stopped clock in that they occasionally report things accurately.

      1. I’ll file that bit of information. Just in case I start relying on stopped clocks some day.

        1. Jamie
          I have a couple of those clocks, and will sell them cheep, 2 for the price of one! Just for you.

  9. Why does everyone give such a flying f*ck about Ukraine but are utterly silent about worse atrocities that have been perpetrated in other parts of the world over the last few years and decades? Anyone who takes a side in this stupid little war is just as depraved as both belligerents. And racist, because white people are dying in Ukraine, not little black boys and girls.

    Grow up for f*ck’s sake, people. This is not our war, not our problem. If retarded slavs (is there any other kind?) want to genocide each other, we should grab a bowl of popcorn, and not repeat propaganda lines from Kiev and Moskow.

    1. I only care about white peoples. The rest can do whatever they want to each other.

      Is that racist? Not that I care.

  10. Pro tip: the Ukraine War is OVER. The brave, brave, brave comedian LOST. He got boatloads of taxpayer dollars to launder … and weapons to sell on the black market … but Russia has taken up permanent occupancy in the East. Done. Fini.

  11. Want to know who is telling the ytuyh?
    Listen to the MSM and then think the opposite.EVERY TIME

  12. I understand that the news is warped at both ends and that the reality is probably somewhere in the middle.

    What I don’t understand is this underlying fangirl appreciation of Russia and Putin? There are those who openly hope for the annexation of Ukraine? There is a starry eyed fascination with Putin, who is neither a genius nor a good person.

    Pretty messed up if you ask me.

    1. I’m not a Putin admirer … EXCEPT … I admire his Country-first Nationalism and rejection of WEF one-world nonsense.

      But I really LOATHE Ukraine as an ally. They are a certifiable corrupt State coordinating with corrupt US politicians (both sides). Sorry.

    2. North
      At the moment the russians are hindering the WEF plan, and that is good. As to Poohteen, I now disregard everything I’v ever read about him in the last 20 years. I read an article by some one who stated that every thing poohteen has been accused of in the last 20 years or so is suspect, as none of it has been solidly proven. It’s not that I like poohteen, it’s that I don’t trust the “news” media.

    3. To Northbaytrapper
      So shoot the messenger.
      The people who have blatantly lied to us for years,are now the staunch allies of “The Ukraine” and now tell us only the truth.

      Every worthless piece of political garbage is an adamant ally of “The Ukraine” and everything we thought we knew about the region,its peoples and politics we must now deny and accept the “Next New Thang”.

      It ain’t “underlying fangirl appreciation of Russia and Putin? “.
      It is open contempt and doubt of the fools and bandits seeking to divert our attention from the harm they have done us all.

      And so far,the lying has been relentless,seemingly swallowed whole by the Crusaders for Ukraine..(previously known as a corrupt and criminal cesspool being used to launder taxpayer dollars by corrupt foreign politicians)..

      Suddenly transformed into “Defenders of the free World” as they use wartime measures to imprison,impoverish and murder their political opponents..,
      But supporting such people is not “messed up” at all?

      Doubting their words and observing their actions..this is “Supporting Putin..?

      If you are an emotional basket case..OK.

      These emoting Do Gooders are so gullible I have had an terrible time not baiting them further..
      Only in a Black and White,utterly simplistic World View,does questioning one side equate with supporting the other..
      Perhaps they both stink on ice?
      But by the quality of their enemies I chose to judge them.

      1. Never said that. Don’t project. Don’t put words in my mouth. We are rooting on a maniac who will dissolve peace and world order.

        Finally, when a make a general statement and instantly everyone thinks it is about them personally….you may want to lay off the paranoid juice.

        Putin is a world menace. Just because he makes life difficult for the power players you hate is no reason to root him on.

        1. Assuming you are addressing my reply..Which maniac would destroy world peace?
          Or group there of?
          What kind of leadership would attempt to threaten and corner a nuclear armed maniac,if such is the true Putin?
          Think about it.

          And what do we really know about Putin?
          The same bunch of criminal liars and thieves who have perpetually lied to us and crippled our society,have made numerous accusations and slanders toward Russia and its leadership all my adult life.
          Most of which have turned out to be projection of their own motives.
          Perhaps we know even less than nothing about both Russia and Putin..Based on a picture provided to us by people now exposed as beyond deceit.?

          And you repeat the same fool assumption again,being critical of the corrupt assholes supposedly the Good Guys in this dispute does not equate to supporting Putin or Russia.

          “What I don’t understand is this underlying fangirl appreciation of Russia and Putin? There are those who openly hope for the annexation of Ukraine? There is a starry eyed fascination with Putin, who is neither a genius nor a good person.”
          “Putin is a world menace. Just because he makes life difficult for the power players you hate is no reason to root him on.”

          Putting words in your mouth?
          You wrote it comrade.

    4. I’d probably be more sympathetic of Ukrainians if there hadn’t been so much skullduggery going on there over the last 20 years. And don’t forget, this is the most preventable war in modern history, but nobody in power wanted to prevent it. They were licking their lips at the thought of shoving nukes right up Russia’s ass while many of them were profiting off the corruption there. Now the Ukrainian people are paying for it in blood and destruction. That said I hope a million Ukrainians immigrate to Canada, I know lots of them and with a few exceptions they make great neighbors and citizens.

      1. Not all of them. There are some here, otherwise great people, just went nuts and believe that the world faces only one enemy: The Globalists. And that Pootin is a hero fighting against globohomo/WEF/Soros/Schab/Bilderberg/Davos/Reptilians etc. They bring everything to this common denominator, they cram it, wrap it around itself and cut off edges that don’t fit. Their outrage at the globalist filth is honest, true and well placed, their fascination with Pootin and Siberian Mongols is a delusional defense mechanism. Others are just scumbags (like HiHo) and rabid trolls (like GYM), but not that many of the regulars are that.

        1. Or it may be a case of ’the enemy of my enemy must be my friend’. Putin isn’t directly threatening their families and way of life while globohomo attacks them and their families every day. For me, there’s worse people out there than Putin but the media and our rulers, part of globohomo, are bent on demonizing only Putin. That doesn’t make me hate Putin, it makes me look more favourable on him than I normally would though.

          1. So you’re confessing to irrationality, then?
            Pootin is evil and what he does it evil and what Siberians are doing is evil. That is true regardless of what spin MSM puts on it.

    5. “What I don’t understand is this underlying fangirl appreciation of Russia and Putin?”

      They have convinced themselves that Pootin is fighting globohomo/WEF/Soros and thus must be a good guy on their side. Yes, it takes willful blindness to believe that.

  13. Ukrainian Amnesty International says that the facts and investigations relied upon in the report were inadmissible, incomplete, and not subjected to cross examination.
    Sounds like those on the ground are being ignored.
    It is undeniable that setting up a defensive position when civilians will not leave an area does endanger those civilians. The alternative is to let the remaining civilians create a path for the advancing Russians.
    Oh – and the Ukrainians deliberately put kids into the theatre in Mariopol and marked the ground with the word children so the Russians would know where to target their artillery.

    1. Forget population centers for a moment … and consider that Ukraine has conscripted EVERY civilian man as a soldier. And then tell me where the “battle zone” is located? Answer: EVERYWHERE … and there are no UNIFORMS or identification of soldiers. Don’t be silly with “inadmissible evidence”

      1. “Ukraine has conscripted EVERY civilian man as a soldier.”

        False.

        “…and there are no UNIFORMS or identification of soldiers.”

        False again.

        You’re relying on the fact that when Kiev was under siege Ukrainians distributed guns to populace so they can defend themselves from the rapist orcs and ridiculously extrapolating from there.

        Since when are you opposed to armed populace btw?

  14. The Ukraine is winning, in the same sense that men are women, and kids should go to drag-queen strip shows, and that Russians are orcs as opposed to Christians, ie only in the minds of the terminally indoctrinated, the same people that like supranational organizations that do the WEF’s bidding.
    Just ask those Kremlin propagandists like Tucker Carlson, Ezra Levant and Nigel Farage.

    1. HiHo
      If I’v learned one thing reading SDA, it’s that anything the COLON or Ooz supports, or supported, believe the exact opposite!

    2. You have not used the Russian troll identification phrase: globohomo.

      I guess the whole Russian Christian thing would be more believable without the mass graves and indiscriminate attacks on cities.

  15. “[Palestinian] forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the [Israeli] invasion that began in February, Amnesty International said today.

    Fixed your post.

  16. Democrats and the main stream media are pro Ukraine

    Soros is pro Ukraine

    That was a gigantic clue that Ukraine was not exactly the good guys.

    1. You like pastries.

      Hitler liked pastries.

      There is gigantic clue that you’re a NAZI.

    2. Also, do you know that recently Soros came out swigging against Xi? does that make Soros a good guy or Xi a good guy? Inquiring minds want to know.

  17. YouTube.. Redacted, alternative news source. Not a fan of biden,Trudough,Zelensky etc.. Well done.

    “Addendum. 93 comments — seems like this hit a nerve?”

    Having read to here – how about a couple of echoes?

  19. Just wonder how the Ukrainians are supposed to NOT fight in cities cause, like, that’s where they live. And that’s where the Russians are attacking.

    “Excuse me Comrades, do you mind moving over to that forest over there so we can fight out of the city?”

    Think the Russians are going to buy into that? Pretty sure if the Ukrainian army moved over to the forest first, Putin’s gang is going to continue bombing the cities as they have been all along.

    This has to be the dumbest statement I have heard in the war up until now.

    1. “Just wonder how the Ukrainians are supposed to NOT fight in cities cause, like, that’s where they live. And that’s where the Russians are attacking.”

      They were supposed to intercept the Russians *before* they got to the cities, while they were still out in the country. If they wanted to avoid civilian deaths, that is.

      (maybe the Ukrainians are more like the Palestinians than we all thought?)
