| War Crimes and Putin 09:39 - Apr 4 with 6219 views | onehunglow | I fervently hope I live to see this fella tried in the Hague. How will he be caught and brought to justice and how long will it take. Will he save us all the expense and play Mother Russia roulette with himself . Russia has a fearfully cruel underbelly. Not much more than a month ago,Russian soldiers that were going to bars Playing X Box Buying sheete from Amazon Whinging about their football team are now tying childrens hands behind their backs and shooting them in the head whilst others drag Ukrainian women from their cars and rape them wholescale. This is happening in 2022,our time. We need to reflect on how barbaric Russia was ,is and always will be. |  |

Jon. Given Russia's history,that is entirely possible. Its the "victories" that sees dictators fall. Im 72 yrs of age and seen much strife in my life worldwide and some close up but this invasion has knocked me senseless. Not sure whether now we have grandkids,have had a partner who needed cancer treatment or simply genuflecting on my life as a whole but this has deeply affected me and I am just so upset and angry we are allowing this to go ahead. Meanwhile,we complain about the price of a litre of petrol |  |

It's not fair to compare the two. Folk can empathise with what is happening in Ukraine but still complain about the price of petrol as it could mean the difference between affording to get to work or not. I know nurses who are using foodbanks to get by and are being pushed into poverty by everything rising. Wanting to help people in Ukraine doesn't mean that the same person cannot worry about feeding their family |  | |  |

It might be a poor analogy but we are really talking life and death and immediate death by bomb or the gun and also seeing your young females raped so I disagree with your assessment. There is overwhelming evidence that we ,in the west,have no idea a to what real suffering is all about;we are talking about avoiding being slaughtered whilst sheltering. Look at it this way then Jon;recently we saw a charoty concert where 12m was raised. We have rock stars who earn that in a year,months even but they choose to do nothing. They could buy whole streets to house and feed the homeless. We have the money to feed;it is just not equitably distributed. In Ukraine,it is not about money but a relentless killing machine on the loose,untrainable,unleashed and unrelentling . As I say, we have no idea [Post edited 4 Apr 2022 12:07]

Why can't we be this concerned about what is going on in Yemen? Palestine? Syria? They get no western help at all and the Palestinians cannot even flee their own country. Netenyahu, Putin and Assad should all be in the Hague for war crimes. |  |

Well obviously yet, compared with war crimes being committed and seeing people killed and raped, of course it is of no comparison, but that cannot reduce the harm caused by people here who cannot afford to heat their houses or feed their families. A lot of rich people do, do a lot of good things, the problem is getting that to the places where it is needed. Helping drugs addicts to get clean, those with mental health get treatment is low down on people's agenda and it is not a vote winner. We only have to see the way Rees Mog deals with contempt with people, calls lockdown breaches from Johnson 'piffle' or how the Chancellor who's wife's Russian business interests, believes should not be questioned, and who is richer than the Queen, who has not flown to California to one of his many homes. A PM who is a racist, a homophobe, who lies with ease and the most vile Home Secretary I've ever known. How can these people have the 1st clue how poor people live from day to day ? They can't |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I agree with much of that. I am a vehement anti monarchist and it underpins everything wrong with this country We have a son of the queen living virtually as a male prostitute accepting whatever falls off the billionaire tree fall with his daughters and ex wife EX WIFE having HRH titles. We allow this,we tolerate this,He walked the Queen to a memorial service for his father. We are talking arrogance and insensitivity on a grand scale. Don't forget also,he is/was patron of various charities. CHARITIES. Sorry,Im gitting angry again Bear in mond Jon that in Ukraine ,there is actually little food to acquire whatsoever .At least our poorest can at least stroll to the shop without being subjected to sniper fire. |  |

If you think what the red army did was wrong, and it was , it was nothing compared to what the NAZIS did in occupied Russia and elsewhere. Those brave Russian soldiers defeated the Wehrmacht while the western allies were thinking about starting a second front in France |  | |  |

Care to endorse / excuse the acts committed by those "brave " russian ( I won't use the term soldiers ) against the residents of Przyszowice for example . It must be part of their genetic makeup , ill disciplined , drunken, rapists masquerading as soldiers . |  |

They defeated the German army you know, the NAZI'S , the ones that exterminated 6 million jews, communists, gypsies and other opposition. The NAZIS killed millions of Russian civilians. had plans to starve 30 million Russians . Starved to death Dutch , French, Poles, Czechs - look up the village of Lidice - I have been to the site and seen the monument to the place So excuse me if I call the red army brave soldiers.Yes, they had excesses, but so di the Allied troops. It was the red army that saw it's own citizens brutalized by the NAZIS, saw villages burned to the ground and their country almost ruined Get some perspective here mate, instead of cherry picking.

I’m astonished you are astonished Loook at the narrative Jon. It is right in your face It has been said subtlety and slyly but your intelligence should have alerted you by now Little indignation from Russian supporters who are all over this site ,as they are everywhere,like skunts . Excuses being made before your very eyes l texts made to deflect from the horror of it all. It’s why Blair gets drawn into matters. This is nowt to do with Blair. He is not responsible for this unless it is all of course staged ,fake news . |  |

I grew up with a few polish kids back in the 70's and years later I found out that one of the kids was not in fact Polish but Ukrainian. A lot of Ukrainians who came to the UK after the war always told people that they were Polish as there is a bit of history between the 2 countries. I later found out why Polish Jews were massacred and Ukrainians were involved. Do we really know what is the truth anymore? As they say, the first casualty of war is the truth. No doubt the Russians are up to their necks in war crimes but the Ukrainians are no angels either. |  |

Russia has been the curse of the free world for many many years They agree initially with Hitler The first thing they did after WW 11 is to encapsulate eastern countries . When they revolted ,we saw Berlin, Budapest, Prague . Yet British people spied for them. Posh ,middle class boys who saw socialism as the ideal . |  |

Russia siding with Germany with their non aggression pact designed to allow both to expand their empires for example by partitioning Poland , not so brave were they , squealed like pigs when Hitler turned on them . Truman and Churchill were both right to be suspicious of Russia, a nation of subservient yokels . |  |

Try keeping to the topic , we're not discussing NAZIS although I can understand your need to deflect from what's happening today . By the way there little or nothing that you can teach me about history so keep your advice to your self ,mate. |  |
