Are we just prolonging the agony, and how long can we continue? It’s far cheaper than WW3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 It would be interesting to know how much other countries are contributing to help Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with basic logic understand that our way of life, that includes but it's not limited to freedom of speech, democracy, etc. is now being under defended in Ukraine. If that fails in Ukraine, tomorrow will be Moldavia, Poland, Baltic countries. Or, I can borrow you my book from primary school language lessons "говорите по русски" so we can all start teaching children lovely song about girl named Antoshka digging potatoes .

crookesey Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) What I don’t get is that reportedly two thirds of home based Russians think it to be a fair and just war. Don’t these guys have access to western media, are they really that happy with Putin’s control? Well I don’t believe a word of it, this is old style Soviet style domination at its worst IMHO.

There's a great number of Russians living in abject poverty, poorer than the Ukrainian people they invaded. It was seen in the media when they were looting stuff like old TV's, toilets and home boilers. Not exactly the usual spoils of war. People like that don't have internet access, they know what the state tells them and that's all they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they do, the media is pumping out Putin's line, and the internet is heavily censored, there's also Russian only versions of social media so they don't see what we see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) I have been told by a Ukranian that this war is the fault of Ukraine because they would not comply with the Russian demands. This person also said that they are lots of Russians families in the Donbass area who migrated there over 200 years ago so they still think they are still Russian. That is the mindset of a lot of the older Ukranians. Edited July 1, 2022 by Kidorry added text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
