I've wondered that as well, no official boots on the ground or planes in the sky, but plenty of countries saying that they are sending aid & weapons, clearly supporting the Ukraine.

That sounds like a cool way to de escalate the situation, not like the Russians wont retaliate against civilians even more severely than they already are, probably carpet bomb Kiev or something, but its OK , at least they got as few antiquated ships Those Chechens and Syrians tend to have a different perspective on the treatment of non combatants. 8 minutes ago, amateur said: Where did all the Semtex come from?

It's not about making rules, it's about making threats. That comment/ threat has made the West sit back and watch, but it hasn't stopped leaders openly stating they are sending help in one way or another, I expected any help given to have been deniable.

oldypigeonpopper Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hello, a few weeks ago all the news was on the invasion of Ukraine, Putin showed his military might on their borders saying we are not invading, and all the countries in NATO , USA, and UN stood back thinking what ?? That he's a man of his word, ? Now all the news is on War Crimes , President Zelensky has shown great strength , sometimes pleading for his people , I wonder how all these countries governments he spoke to including the UK think now 🤔 , in the 21st Century we see a country almost destroyed, millions displaced , and it's just announced a War crime !!!, I wonder what USA , UK, Poland , France, etc have done if they were citizens of these countries, What we now see is Putin and his Army true colours, and Ukraine citizen paying the price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Putin has aided the Syrian dictatorship in its civil war for over 10 years, the result of which is who knows how many deliberately targeted civilian deaths, and their plight has caused very little objection from any western or NATO linked country, so why is everyone suddenly concerned about the plight of Ukraine civilians all of a sudden, and the war crimes it is claimed they are subject to?

Or his last two invasions which nobody flapped about. When you see Syria on the news its a waste land, that's why I didn't expect Ukraine to put up much of a fight, even if they win they lose. I think people are showing concern because its not that far away, some people know others in the Ukraine and its affecting us financially. And we in the West thought this didn't happen anymore here in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polonium and novochok also come to mind - used directly by the Russians in the West Czechoslovakia hasnt been under Russian influence since 1989, long before Putin was in control of anything ? Novichok and Polonium , Im not disputing Russia used them, but in the context of terrorism against the west ? And , if youre saying that pre 1989, Russia supplied semtex to the IRA ,PLO ect, thats not really true either, Libya, was by far the largest buyer of semtex..... Even so , all 3 of these things are perfectly available to make or buy in any 1st world country, and plenty of 3rd world ones too. I digress, but looking at Russia sponsoring terrorism in the west, is a bark up the wrong tree. They have been the victims of terrorism just as much as we have.

Cosmicblue Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Was with a very senior serving army officer at a funeral last week, his insight into the Russian side was interesting, there is much evidence of widespread corruption - tanks with active armour that are actually blocks of wood for example.
