Perhaps Russia’s biggest mistake in this whole sorry conflict, was to totally underestimate the power of home advantage. The Russians may have the big guns, but the Ukrainians seem to have the bigger, braver hearts.

@meroepiankhy183 If a supposedly ‘poxy’ Ukrainian army can hold off the factually 2nd biggest military on this planet (a military that haughtily, arrogantly presumed it could just roll into Kiev in a day or two), I call that brave, notwithstanding the war crimes that will have been committed on both sides, no doubt.

@rsuriyop It’s not that they have better guns, necessarily, but that what they do have they have been well-trained to use. Add to that the sense of someone unwanted intruding into your home, and you have a mighty rebuttal to the Russians.

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood Source?

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood Still no source. You need to quote your source otherwise your claim is rendered null and void. Anyone can claim shit and pass it off as true. So once again, where is your source?

@North Korea Is Best Korea Pete C is one of these tendentious asserters without evidence types that have so bedevilled this whole conflict.

@christinehomer2185 Look, there are war crimes on both sides here, for that is the nature of war. I don’t really give a shit who wins this conflict, I just want peace and no escalation. Propaganda proliferates on both sides. My simple original point was that the ordinary Ukrainian citizen foot-soldier has shown extraordinary courage in the defence of their homeland. That’s all.

@TonkistLT Lol. Touché.

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood If you can’t find it and post it how the fuck do you expect anyone else to? Just post it. If it actually exists.

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood It’s called having your evidence to hand, Peter. I find that usually helps when you assert shit.

@zoneofsilence On day 1 of this thing, I thought that. Now at Day 80-something, and having looked into all this, while I don’t support one jot what Putin’s doing, it’s perfectly understandable what he is doing from his point of view . The polarised wholly good Ukraine versus the wholly bad Russia and vice-versa has been one of the most depressing aspects of this whole farrago. Those of us with intrinsically no skin in the game can clearly see both sides. Personally speaking, this whole thing is a bit like watching a guy in the school playground you’re neither here nor there about, getting a kicking by the school bully who mostly everyone hates; but because you are not in the friendship group of the victim you are happy to stand and watch, and occasionally try to trip up the bully if he comes near you.

@domitravel795 Nice copy & paste. Smooth.👍

@christinehomer2185 Sorry? I don’t understand your point. Why are you telling me this?

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood Post the link.

@unvaccinatedAndPureBlood I can’t find it. I’ll ask you again if you can post the link.

@christinehomer2185 I’d suggest that focusing on 1500 soldiers at the expense of a total official army of 195,000 is unbalanced reporting, to say the least. This 195,000 also doesn’t include the tens of thousands of citizen Ukrainian soldiers. Anti-Ukrainian propagandists always rant on about the Azov battalion but it makes up less than 1% of total Ukrainian forces.

@christinehomer2185 I repeat, the Azov battalion makes up no more than 1500 soldiers. Less than 1% of the total Ukrainian force. Why then, do you and others like you focus on this minuscule number and ignore the rest? Anyone who is neutral in this game can clearly see this. Because you’re an embroiled, tendentious onlooker you have real trouble just looking at things objectively.
