Republican. There are lots of these idiots right here. One particular individual is blocking up the thread with long tedious expressions of his personal opinion about how impossible gun control of any sort is, even though it has been successfully done in many countries. That is the nature of their politicians too. Thoughts and prayers.

This is such a sad story, and it we will see it has been repeated thousands of times. I don't forgive or ignore the awful crime this young man committed, but he is a very* young man, and was in a dreadful predicament. Put there by Putin and his enablers. Russia needs to ditch the orc in chief and those who have supported him.

He will still have a target on his back (which for Putin's enemies is often fatal in the long run) , but yes, one would hope that is a given.

Where's a "good guy" with a stupid great knife when you need one?

Life is probably going to get worse for Counsellor Bondarev if he returns home. Brave of him. .

Musk will be lucky to get out with his skin. The notion that he will be calling the shots seems surreal to me.

So you don't aspire to a world where such a female should be able to do so without being attacked?

Sorry, your comment may also have been addressed to me. The locations of the videos I have seen were not disclosed. Perhaps for obvious reasons.

Specifically twitter for me. I haven't seen much elsewhere. Plenty of war footage, but the new howitzers only the last few days on twitter.

Well in sir- you are good for something at least. I enjoyed your post enormously.

Your strawman is no good here, and you are polluting the topic. Hopefully a mod will be along soon to delete all this nonsense.

I'm sure you are. You were immediately identifiable as a russian shill from your first post on this thread.

For once we agree. The issue is this was clearly not some high level directive. This was rank and file soldiers shooting civilians in the back.

I wonder who ordered the shooting in the recent video of a retiree being shot in the back by Russians who had just had a conversation and cigarette with them?

The "bias in big tech" that has been repeatedly debunked as right wing pearl clutching numerous times on this very thread.

I hear the chaps from Ukraine are adept with petrol bombs. This fool would do better to keep his head down.

You must be kidding! Are you trying to imply that the massive level of war crimes that we have already witnessed from the butcher of moscow does not amount to 'high level mass bombing'? Away with your attempts to normalise the atrocities Putin has already committed.

Nonsense springing from an overactive sense of entitlement. Sad really.

Yes there are. It seems to me that you want to discuss them rather than the issues. Your argument about 'silencing' people really doesn't hold water. I would hope that you would not espouse any nazi, racist or such views. On that basis no one would call you a nazi. No one on either side should use such lables without reason, but unfortunately there are a number of politicians throughout the world at this very time who are using just such language.

That was most certainly not the point you were making in the post I replied to Mac. My opinion on your hypothetical point is of course, off topic. That doesn't necessarily mean I disagree with you on that, just that it doesn't fit into the boundaries of this conversation.

With the increasing damaging rhetoric from Russia, will the west be pushed to a nuclear strike? Let's hope not.

This at least seems on the surface to be a fair question Mac. what you are really suggesting though is that nazis, racists and homophobes should be allowed to encourage violence towards others by way of their "free speech". That seems the opposite of freedom to me.

More utter nonsense. My advice to you- try to cut down on the alt-right troll phraseology if you want to be taken seriously at last.

Oh, stop clutching your pearls in faux outrage. The whole free speech thing is deliberately misrepresented by the right as it is. Anyone from the left who indulges in hate, racism, or lies is generally no more welcome on the left than those on the right who do it.

The Russian trolls on thai visa are of extremely low skill. The decent ones are all talking utter <deleted> on twitter and the like.
