I recently saw a worst case scenario of ten million refugees and one million dead, but still of course very, very bad.

Thailand can open their doors and establish refuge camps all over the country to Ukrainians. Each and one need an sponsor who guarantee for their stay. I'm sure Europe would find that a cheap and acceptable temporary solution.

Russia's still heading for Kyiv too so a lot of good that's doing. 

Of course, in your alternative universe the collapse of the Russian economy is nothing to be concerned about.

Russia can be trusted with nothing, this is a fight for freedom and humanity or tyranny, take your choice

Why what's the difference of NATO sending arms over the border and Ukrainian pilots flying jets over the border. 

Or what wrong with sticking the planes on trucks and delivering them with the trucks that are taking arms over the border.

 

Great idea. Why not check with your boss?

I don't see much reference to it in this thread

I did tell people to Google: "Anne-Laure Bonnel".

 

She's been in Ukraine since 2015 and has a lot to say.

She's French. I hope you can find the video with the English soundtrack.

You guys should really watch some current YouTube videos that out of Russia. Young people really don't agree with this and about 99% of people interviewed (under 50) are really not buying any bs.

 

I honestly look at some cowardly posts here blaming Russian people for not getting rid of Putin. This is too funny as most are quite brave and vocal considering the circumstances. Quite the contrast to the country you decided to call "home".

 

I'll leave it at that.

But the people are not going to overthrow Putin. He may be toppled but it won't be from a people's movement.

Still waiting for the evidence in the last video you posted of her a few days ago, she said she was going to publish it.....

 

As for her previous claims:

 

Her coverage on conflict in Donbas region was flagged as fake due to misinterpretation and misleading statement on number ofdeaths and casualties. On French conservative 24-hour news channel CNews, she said 13000 were killed, the information was fackchecked and debunked by multiple french media. StopFake.org stated her documentary movie was referencing messages used in the Russian propagand

I think i have to stop reading the news, because it's just so darn depressing.

If you want depressing listen to the sky news bit when they broadcast the Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman who before being cut off spent 15 minuets asking and answering her own questions and concluded to bio labs run by the Americans as the evil behind this special operation .

 

And my personal conclusion from what she said is when they find their "cannon fodder is spent" it will be miraculously found and let loose a bit like a Salisbury door handle on a bigger scale before a more civilized nukeing starts blaming it all on Ukraine hence Putin's stay out of my game or else????

A lot. Typically blaming Russians for letting Putin do his thing. Pretty funny considering where you live.

Hang on a minute.

 

You haven’t produced evidence of such posts and even if you had, why would that have anything to do with where I live, given I personally have not made such posts?

China is knocking up some evidence now but if it proves to be too weak then Putin has a few perfume bottles of the nerve agent Novichok left over after the attempted assassination of Sergi, his daughter and a police officer in the UK. 

[Virt]

I wonder how Putin will explain this.

Seems like US are going to ban Russian oil today.

 

Will be interesting to see what the politicians will do here in Europe.

US (an oil exporter) is going to ban Russian import today.
So the EU (an oil importer) should ban its oil export to Russia, right? This would be funny to the same degree.

[Bkk Brian]

Whats happening now is truly horrific, reminding me of the Syrian devastation aided by the Russian forces there.

 

The horrifying attack on Mariupol. Children's hospital and maternity hospital. Deliberately flattened by a large missile strike. A coordinated strike as revealed by Zakharova the Russian spokeswoman claiming that "Ukrainian nationalists kicked out all the patients and staff and set up firing points there".

 

Even WHO has verified 18 attacks on health facilities in Ukraine.

 

Saluting youths in a shopping mall in Kazan wearing the Z Russian army logo side and then looking at the photographs coming out of Mariupol and it’s hard not to feel sick.

Ah yes.. one of my "naturalized" fellow Canadians.. I seem to recall that you bailed on Canada and relocated to Thailand, only to scamper back to Canada.

 

Our "adopted" home is certainly undemocratic in a literal sense but there a still elections that return a fairly active opposition to represent their constituents..

 

And the posts you refer to are not cowardly, they represent the frustration many feel.

 

Can I suggest that you are being quite tone-deaf to come here to a Thailand forum and take pot-shots at other forum members and also the country we live in and that you left..

while sporting a Russian language avatar.. The Russian word for "truth" no less.

 

It might be time to adopt a lower profile..

Take some comfort in the knowledge that the young people chanting and saluting in that video have ahead of them a dull life bereft of opportunity or any hope of freedom.

 

Their economy is tanking, and with it any prospects for a better life.
