O/T:- Ukraine [Incorporating 'Congrats to Russia' thread]

It's staggering that you raise any doubt over whether it's been a waste of lives and money. In this day and age to see such acts of aggression and barbarism is astonishing, to question whether it was meaningful beggars belief. Tens of thousands dead, millions displaced, hundreds of millions affected by the economic ripples. For what? One megalomaniac dickhead's ego.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. But I don’t think Zalensky is the only one responsible here. Don’t forget Victoria Nuland, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump, etc. And Poreshenko, don’t leave him out. I think pinning it all on one person is oversimplifying it.

I knew it would be over your head. Maybe it wasn't on Russia Today that Catalonia held a referendum, not approved by Spain or recognised internationally but no-one thought invading Spain and destroying the country and murdering civilians was a good idea. Well I say no-one, I guess you would.

If you say so.

Thought so. Over your head and unable to reply to the dichotomy. Only Russian propaganda counts.

If you don't read it, how do you know it's rubbish?

Exactly EP. Rubbish is in the eye of the beholder and if I don't behold it I don't know it's rubbish and once it's beheld it's too late and it can't be un-read.

I read the first 2 volumes then realised it was a waste of time.
