Things heating up again?

Things heating up again?

The US is trying to rachet up the pressure on Russia. Biden is seen as weak on foreign policy.
There’s a midterm coming soon don’t you know.

[myboyblue]

@Fitzy had his number from the beginning

[cowpat]

Is Vlad’s Russian plastic surgeon the same one as Mary of Magdalene, the stripper.

Will you condemn your first post on this thread mate?

[backinatracksuit]

A lot of edge lords posted in a typical fashion on this thread,
You could be probably guess who handy enough

[myboyblue]

We need @Fitzy back

[Lazarus]

The aftertimer merchants all crawling out from under their rocks today I see

[backinatracksuit]

There was no need for the edit, the original post was fine.
I haven’t ever really had a strong opinion on Putin, just reading back through this thread and , yourself excepted, the Putin fanboys are exactly who you’d expect

[myboyblue]

Will you come out and condemn it @Lazarus

[Lazarus]

The edit was a more accurate description. Pretty low taking potshots at a time of crisis. Hilarious as it is lads would want to have a serious look at themselves

[backinatracksuit]

Good point,
I wish o could take it back but it’s out there now
Even in times of crisis we can have a laugh, and some of the stuff written here is laughable, and yes, the usual suspects were the ones blowing his trumpet.

Gianni Infantino.

Worse than Blatter.

A man who plays the social media game of fake wokeness and empty slogans of virtue while palling up to dictators.

I would like to take the opportunity to condemn Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. It was an unnecessary escalation of growing tension that will cost thousands of lives and should be condemned unilaterally.

What I do find disgusting is the double talk of those who rightly condemn the invasion but who are happy to turn a blind eye to Western backed genocide in places like Yemen and Palestine which has been going on for years now and cost countless thousands more lives than will happen in Ukraine.

Supporting war like a football team regardless of the rights and wrongs is quite simply cynical, opportunistic and vile.

I stand with the people of Ukraine, Yemen, Palestine and I stand against the war mongers in Russia, the US and UK.

The situation is complex and the role of NATO over the past 20 years should also be highly condemned. The highly respected Noam Chomsky has been highlight the prospect of NATO and Western aggression of this happening for years.

I see Putin’s little mouthpiece is back. In classic u-turn mode with weasel words after getting this so spectacularly wrong for years.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

Putin is a great bit of stuff.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

The West have a major problem when Vlad tells them exactly what they are.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

Hon Vlad.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

Some people have a real problem with democracy.

The usual Russophobes out here with their anti-democratic views of Crimean self determination.

It’s very Trumpian to deny the democratic rights of the Crimeans.

It’s very far right to be espousing the rhetoric of far right Ukrainian nationalists.

@Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy

People on here can pedal their anti-Russian, racist agenda as much as they want. They can continue to pedal the rhetoric of the far right Ukranian nationalists as much as they want.

The bottom line is, the people of Crimea spoke at the polling booths, they exercised their democratic right and Crimea was returned to Russian rule democratically and peacefully.

So you would only have an issue with that if you are a deranged far right racist and it’s pretty easy to see that when you scratch at the surface of Russophobia.

It’s sad that Russia continues to have to put up with racist barbs and Western aggression from foreign forces on their borders and territories.

[Cheasty]

He’s still getting it spectacularly wrong.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

If I was wrong I was wrong. I have no problem putting my hands up and admitting so unlike some of the narcissists and hypcorites here who refuse to condemn the Western backed genocide and war crimes taking place in Yemen and Palestine on a routine basis over the past decade.

I’m looking at you @Tim_Riggins and you @balbec.

[Tim_Riggins]

It’s funny alright. It’s not a question of being “right” on a prediction or even where you stand on it. It’s a question of fundamental principles. Fulvio always backed Russian Imperialism and laughed at Ukraine for defending their territory, he’s now taken the easy social media stance (even changing his avatar) with Russia and Putin just following their behaviour of the last 13 years. This follows a sad pattern for him in the last 6 months. On one thread he’d be lambasting the Doxxer while on another cheering on Doxxing from Tech Gemma. That was particularly sad for a one time good poster.

I’d like to believe that this is simply him believing his own hype as a poster but I actually think it might just be a terminal decline. A rebrand and a long spell on the sidelines is required, his core backers need to have a word.
