Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think Biden has handled this quite well too. That administration seems to have a much better understanding of how to deal with European mentalities than previous ones.

Poland has an upcoming election, the biggest Ukrainian community in the EU, lots of people who have family over there etc.
It’s the first place I come now for updates. The guy deserves a medal for his efforts here.

The pecking order persists come rain or bomb.
that’s going to really make Putin angry. whilst they were supposed to be at negotiations with Russia, Zelensky signed application to EU and Putin starts bombing civilians.

Well, explaining how to drive an abandoned Russian ( tank?) don’t know the correct name. But… These people are AMAZING in their bravery, commitment, adaptability and use of social media!
As I said, Internet can be amazing

Disagree. for all of the bullshit that Trump put the West through, he was BANG ON about European reliance on Russian oil pipelines and dumping western money into Russia.

Well, sure. But so was Obama. That is a longstanding US concern.
But as I said, he was totally incompetent in how to deal with European mentalities. Had almost the opposite effect.
But anyway, the main credit for the change of course goes to Vlad.

I do think that NATO have fucked up the dealings with Russia over the years…and are guilty of their own shit…and I don’t even want to go into that shit here (as i’ve been guilty off in the past few days)
But well , fuck me… Putin is unhinged at this point of time. Hopefully someone within Russia reins him in…I’m all for discussing the causality in other threads , but Putin just needs to be closed down.
@Livvy also needs plaudits as well. Between the two of them I dare say we’re about as well informed as anyone on the internet.

This seems a bit extreme. I mean we all want to make sacrifices in solidarity, but there’s a limit, surely?

Perhaps the Indian government shouldn’t be tacitly approving of the Russian invasion then? Just a bit of whataboutery to go with your own in this thread…

It’s been hard to forego it, because some of that stuff is filthy, but sometimes you’ve just got to go that extra mile
