  2.  @brucethompson2940  'LPR' and 'DPR' are not republics. They are part of Ukraine.

  3.  Armando Obregon  That is the most facile comment I've heard in a long time. You manifestly no nothing about politics, war or mistakes - which is a great pity as you have just made one. I therefore suggest you take this as a valuable learning experience.

  4. They are against mobilisation, not the war.

  5. I don't think we'd see any such Ukrainians within a 1,000km of 💩-tin.

  7.  @pamelajessup7931  That is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, Kosovo proclaimed independence most recently in 2008. Secondly, it was Serbia who took a case against it to the International Court of Justice, and lost. Thirdly, a joint Serbia-Eu resolution in the UN dissolved all Serbian institutions in Kosovo in return for putting Serbia on a path to EU membership. Fourthly, Kosovo still does not have enough international recognition to enable it to join the UN. In particular it is believed russia would veto their membership. Fifthly, the so called LNR and DPR declared independence in 2014, that's six years AFTER Kosovo. Sixthly, when they declared independence not even russia recognised them as such, not doing so until 2022!!! Seventhly, when they declared independence they did not even occupy all the territory they were claiming independence for. The two situations are entirely different. Also, it's not UN rules that decide whether a country is independent or not, its international law and the de facto consensus of international opinion.

  10. I doubt they are. There will be a lot of Drs and radiographers going through their files for old x-rays of broken limbs, ordering industrial quantities of surgical plaster and making enquiries as to just which is the best hotel in Sochi for New Year's.

  11. Always the way.

  12.  @Bonanzaking  We moved beyond that after 1918 when plebiscites were held to decide which country certain bits of territory should be in, for example Schleswig-Holstein. You can also see more civilised thinking in the referendum that was held in Scotland over independence in 2014. So no, it hasn't always been like that. Some parts of the world have learnt from history, unfortunately, others seem doomed to repeat it.
