Murky happenings indeed. That aside, it's generated a lot of very funny trolling. Eg, reviews of the border checkpoint: twitter.com And this reworking of Zelensky's "we're all here" address: twitter.com Classic!

Wonder if certain Putin fanboys/apologists will be talking about a negotiated peace between Russia and this militia?

Worth pointing out that some of the guys involved in this incursion are yer proper Nazis, admirers of Breivik and the Christchurch shooter and so forth. At least, according to Bellingcat, who are pretty reliable on such matters. Perhaps not the kind of people you want in your corner, even if they are causing the Russians a headache.

So, Russians have taken Bakhmut. twitter.com It was home to 70, 000 people, now it's rubble. en.wikipedia.org When the Romans invaded Caledonia (🏴) a native chief allegedly said "they've created a wilderness and call it peace" |

If I had Nazis on my side I would question if I was on the right side personally. Anyway, on the subject of despotic regimes who shot down civilian airliners for no reason, the US has shown its disapproval at the incursion. I can see the US in the next year taking measures from strongly encouraging a ceasefire and peace settlement to shutting off funding and supply of weapons next year as the presidential election draws close. Of course if Trump wins then it’s game over. Whatever happens thousands of innocent working class people will die while two egomaniac leaders refuse to discuss the prospect of peace. |

Who are the "two egomaniac leaders" Fields? Putin presumably and do you mean Zelensky. What actions has he taken that you would class as egomaniacal? He has seemed entirely reasonable and even moderate in his aims and language. Get out of our country, stop killing our people, stop attacking us. Doesn't sound too egomaniacal to me? And I haven't seen any examples (only skim read tbh) of glorifying in deaths on this thread. |

When you're on the wrong side the only argument is "both sides".

He’s determined to make it a whole continent if not a world war, and is pushing for yet more aggressive steps to be taken which risk very serious escalation. Still if you want to live with NATO tanks aimed at Russian tanks, and nuclear missiles aimed at western cities then that’s what you will get. The west taking a cavalier approach to wars and military action in the Middle East and Central Asia while expanding NATO eastward showed Putin that if they could do it, so could he. If he is a madman, then so was Bush jr, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Biden etc - all the weddings they dronestruck. I want peace, as any sane person would surely. I am not on any side. All the middle aged men getting semis over tanks and missile defences and cheerleading the Ukrainians should take a good look in the mirror and be ashamed that they’re supporting bloodshed and death. Meanwhile US corporations are lending to Ukraine at 46% interest and are licking their lips awaiting the reconstruction contracts |
