Do unto others... Bad acts are bad acts. Calling the Russians out for actual war crimes isn’t “demonizing” them. It’s stating a fact. I fully recognize and acknowledge that the Russians being sent to die in Ukraine are as much victims of the Russian dictator as the people of Ukraine. The Ukrainians simply refuse to accede to the Russian dictator’s demands, as is their right. They have the right to defend themselves against the Russian invasion. Are you saying the Ukrainians don’t have the right to defend themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartofice Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Honestly for years to come we’ll be talking about how the war in Ukraine came to be part of one over arching conspiratorial view of the world that found a way to connect it to Covid, 5G, Bill Gates and China. Right now I still marvel at how many people are following the same old talking points and consider themselves to be ‘independent thinkers’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hmmm. I keep trying to post a comment but first the previous thread had been locked while I had been typing it, and now my phone died just as I was typing it again. Maybe the universe doesn’t want me post this comment. oh well who cares. In the previous thread someone suggested the Hungarian Polish friendship would be done in by the war, and that it was a tactical regime alliance rather than a friendship. The answer is yes, it has been, already. And no, it’s not a tactical alliance of the current regimes based on their being the attention seeking, rebellious misfits in the EU class room (no offense). It goes back, historically and culturally, we have centuries old rhymes and sayings about it. Hungarians aren’t great at expressing emotion, but Poland always had a special place in our hearts. As if the war itself hasn’t been heartbreak enough, it’s sad to see a divide between Poland and Hungary, albeit understandable. We love you, Poland, regardless of regimes past, present and future, or the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 It's been all over the place today. It does look like a further redoubling of effort on Mariupol (how the hell any defenders are still fighting there, presumably cut off from food and ammo resupply for almost a month, I don't know) and it looks like some Russian units might have been called off to SE of Kharkiv, to link the Kharkiv area to the Donbas area along the NE border of Ukraine. That doesn't seem to be a great idea as counterattacks around Kharkiv had already been very successful last week, to the point that some everyday services have started to resume service in the city, like they have in Kyiv for weeks. Despite the Russians supposedly pulling back from Chernihiv (again not a great idea because it looks like the Ukrainians are aiming to link up the Chernihiv and Sumy fronts even without such an easing off), reports that bombardments and bombings have continued there, possibly to cover the ground troops pulling back. The overall US and Western assessment is that they haven't seen signs of a major pullback but they have spotted some individual, badly-mauled units retreating into both Russia and Belarus for resupply and regrouping. The various tech-watching websites and Twitter accounts have reported seeing fewer and fewer decent Russian equipment moving into Ukraine, but a big uptick in the number of "technicals," basically standard trucks and civilian four-wheel-drive vehicles with machine guns and other weapons mounted on the back (you normally see these in Middle East or African conflicts between very low-budgeted rebel groups). In a proper warzone against enemies armed with heavy AT rounds, they'll likely be as much use as a chocolate teapot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
