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

[Masson4]

Fantastic to hear that the Newark lad, Aiden Aslin, Shaun Pinner and other prisoners of war have been released today and are safely on their way back to home soil. Rumours were still abound just yesterday that they may already have been executed as they were condemned to be.
Can't even imagine what nightmares they and their families back home must have been living through.

Newark man Aiden Aslin released by Russia and will return to UK

Haha… true. I had to laugh at the Russian politician who said they would turn London into a Martian landscape… too late fella!

While they were turning London into Martian landscape what do you think Moscow might look like or would we just shrug our shoulders?

Notts would be back in the FL, we'd move 14 places up the pyramid if every club inside the M25 was destroyed.

"Ukrainians have reported armed soldiers going door-to-door in occupied parts of the country to collect votes for self-styled "referendums" on joining Russia.

"You have to answer verbally and the soldier marks the answer on the sheet and keeps it," one woman in Enerhodar told the BBC.

In southern Kherson, Russian guardsmen stood with a ballot box in the middle of the city to collect people's votes."

Yes that all seems extremely fair and reasonable...

For anyone who is interested, here is some more tragicomic Russian state TV.

So far I think the Jewish presidentof Ukraine, Joe Biden, the state of Israel, the EU, and Sanna Marin have all been identified as Nazis.

Meanwhile in Russia, at the recent annexation party in Moscow there was a guest appearance by a priest, who called for holy war against the west while cosplaying Himmler. Just saying.

This is the final stage of a deliberate and long-term strategy in domestic Russian propaganda to equate anything and anyone who doesn't let Russia do what it wants to Nazis.

This message has been strongly reinforced by state TV and even the school curriculum for years now. It's the perfect way to build support for a war - train the nation to hate Nazis, tell them where the Nazis are, invade.

It also stops people asking questions about simarities between the behaviour of the Russian federation and...you know what.

This is all meant for the domestic audience, but the fact that some people outside of Russia fall for it is probably seen as a bonus.
