Am I the only one that picks up extreme Russophobia or others just silent out of fear to be ostracised.

It seems so...the 2 hysterical sons of Beelzebub buzz around media bullshit like the Lord of Flies: 

Why is everybody siding with Ukraine? Why did they not side with the people of Syria, Palestine, Yemen, and Afghanistan?

1.   If you don’t understand the context or the backstory, Russia invading Ukraine looks pretty fucking evil. Right? Who can argue with that? And their President seems so down to Earth and brave.

2.   Russia is the scapegoat of the West. So is China. Xi and Putin are practically a two headed beast. Scapegoats provide important functions for social control. First, a scapegoat becomes a justification for a Cold War, which justifies the U.S.’s overinflated military budgets. Despite the collapse of the USSR, we pay more and more to defense contractors every year. Next, a scapegoat distracts us from our own, domestic problems. Why focus on that when you can all come together to hate on the scapegoat du jour? Pile on, friends. Third, it provides a sense of social cohesion, as hate and resentment are projected on the scapegoat, making it easier for politicians at home.

3.   Racism. Many white people empathize more easily with people who “look like them.” Their zones of empathy are not extended out to people of color. This is not good. There was a bombing in Yemen last week, btw.

4.   Independence. Russia is never permitted to go its own way. Same thing with China. We own the world, and the Chinese and Russians are just living in it. Even more so for brown people, wherever they live. If they try to go their own way, they must be brutally clubbed, chemically poisoned, and beat down, to make an example out of them for others, just like Vietnam. Putin’s sin is to enable his own kleptocracy, and not let the West have at it like they did under Yeltsin and with the Harvard Boys.[1] China is the same way. I have noticed the British seems to be more racist toward the Chinese than Americans, but this is just an impression.

5.   Nukes. Threatening with nukes is pretty scary. Objectively so.

6.   People become more conservative when feeling threatened. This means being more suspicious of strangers, more tribal, binary thinking of “us” vs. “them,” “good guys” vs “bad guys,” etc. If you try to understand the other side, you are a “______________ propagandist/apologist.” Doesn’t matter what it is. Propaganda is then defined as “any facts I don’t like,” and “anything the bad guy says.”

Well when a cunt invades another country (who obviously doesn't want to be ruled by a cunt) murders women and children  and then threatens nuclear war when other free countries object you can expect people to have a little bit of hate for the runty little cunt.

Good enough reason cunt lover ?

I wonder where you would stand if your missus was Ukrainian not Russian and it was her relatives being murdered?

I suppose since you are a tin foil hat wearer you believe its Biden that is shelling the cities and blaming it on the Russkies or is it the lizard people?

I would like to decide to invade a country.

If a South African is being treated badly overseas, I will use that is an excuse to invade that country.
I will just ignore the laws of that country, as well as the international community. 
Then if anyone challenged me, I would just threaten them with a nuclear bomb. (I have the most nuclear bombs in the world).

Putin is straight from a James Bond movie in cold war era. Aka Doctor Evil wanting to blow up the world. 

Please control your emotions chaps and don't let frustration overtake you...there is a lot of that and anger caused by the pandemic and don't misdirect into hatred...it's very bad for your health.

There is a lot of ignorance here by people who know very little, if any about the events and history there and have never even been there. This war has been on for 8 years and innocent civilians ( far more) have been murdered by terrorists than the military operation where Russian soldiers don't target civilians at all and that is a fact...a lot of the false accusations have been staged.

Be that as it may, however:

The solution that makes more sense and what should have done correctly in the first place instead of the coup d'estat, funded and supported by the USA in 2014 where Yankovych was overthrown in the Maidan revolution. Many innocent people were brutually murdered and the world kept quiet. People don't react if the controlled agenda backed media remain silent but go hysterical to what garbage is misrepresented to them without thought. They call evil good and good evil. The pots and kettles once again.

What is needed is a fair referendum, not staged and no puppet leaders placed by outside source.

But what is needed too is perpetrators of war crimes and promoters of biological weapon developers and laboratories, including USA sources if proven been brought to justice.

The war has been incorrectly labelled invasion by the West but in essence it is really an operation in the truer sense.

Nevertheless I feel sure that Putin would be happy with that, but with the condition that no missile bases are erected us a threat to Russian security and Ukraine remains a neutral country where the Ukraine and Russian people can heal and forgive and build together, afterall they are so closely knit together and have almost identical cultures. There are many good Russians and Ukrainians there. But remember this war has been going on for 8 years, without Russian troops there. It has to stop and I know Zelenkyy cannot be trusted at all...he is a good actor but an evil man.

Doesn't matter if the civilians are targeted or not, children and women are being slaughtered on your favorite cunts orders not to mention all the soldiers on both sides dying for your cunts ego

I'm no expert on the Ukraine or Russia, in fact I don't give a fuck about either country but I do care about the innocent being murdered.

Doesn't it make you wonder why so many Ukrainians are fighting your glorious liberators, you have swallowed the same BS as the russian soldiers getting killed that they were rescuing them what stupid fucks, but the russians are learning they have been feed a load of crap

FFS the might of Russia is struggling to conquer a country  with under a third of the population. the Krauts were knocking on Moscows door in the same time period its taken them to get bogged down in their own traffic jam 15km over the border.

Putins got little mans disease with too much power, why isn't the little turd leading the way instead of cowering in Moscow its because the first Ukranian he came across would pull his piles  out of his arse and jam them down his throat.

And no I have nothing against the R ussian people they are as much the victims as the Ukranian people

Yes indeed it is the women, children and elderly one has great compassion for, but sadly just as tough and painful operations are needed to remove a cancer, so operations directed in the best direction for the better, otherwise it just remains, grows and eventually kills.

You may believe that's Putin's agenda but I certainly don't.

Neither of us know him personally and his image is only displayed by the corrupt media. 

What I do know is that he is a true Russian man, a man steeped in Russian patriotism, history and culture...an old world man, an egoist which is , I think common to all men of power, which is perhaps an unlikeable trait, however I've observed some likeable traits in him, he is loved by children and he has an appeal to him. He is a manly man and certainly no softy or coward. Often I used to observe him and his motorcade going to the Russian Whitehouse ( Dom pravitelstva Rossiyskoi Federatsii),  is a government building in Moscow,from my hotel window at the Ukraina Hotel (now called Radisson Collection Hotel) across the Moscow River over the bridge. He has a sense of humour too, there was a video of him singing "Blue Berry Hill"

But the only important thing that really matters is he was chosen by the Russian people, his popularity rating has varied from about 60 to 80 percent at times which is pretty good reason for him to be there don't you think. That's the bottom line.

If you don't agree that's fine but dark deeds are hidden in most politicians.

Even Churchill, read about "Operation Unthinkable". The most treacherous scheme ever planned, a complete betrayal on the country that made it possible to win WW2 and defeat Hitler.

Talk about double standards, betrayal and Quislings. Just as well he did not win the elections after the war.

Ja, I can't see any way to justify this invasion...it makes no sense...the only logical explanation is that Putin has totally lost his marbles...I know we don't have all the info and there could have been much more provocations than we are aware of...and yes, the West might have done more to prevent things, but at the end of the day it was Putin who gave the order which plunged the world into Chaos...it's all on him...

Raving lunatic filled with hatred he cannot control...probably the worst case of troll board disease I've certainly come across. So cowardly and yet he had the audacity to call the late Ceradyne (Vlag) Cowarddunce, which he most certainly was not. Never seen such a creature so blind and stupid and it takes not much to see it, a nasty, depraved man and a blight to this forum.

Poor man he can't even see that every one despises him and buzzes around like a blue bottle fly.

He needs a good swat.  

Oh no . . . does this mean you're no longer praying for me, Tit?

LMAO!

Chosen by the russian people bwahahahaha when you opposition disappears or suddenly end up with radiation poisoning its easy to win a one horse race. 

Sure he has supporters, even Hitler did so that doesn't say much apart from there are a lot of cunts in the world.

As far as I m concerned there is nothing that justifies the murder of children and fuck you for supporting their murder. You need to find your humanity it appears you lost it along the way.

But . . . but . . . Tit is a devout christian? How can he lose his humanity . . . unless god supports Putin . . . or maybe Putin is his god?

Looks like Tit has run off to pray. I'm guessing it goes something like this . . .

"Our Vlad who art in Moscow, Putin be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in Ukraine as it is in Russia. Give us this day our shot of Smirnoff and provide us with mail-order brides as we provide propaganda to those who spread fake news, and lead us not into sanctions but deliver us from NATO. Amen."

Propaganda exists in everything that we see in the media these days, and any war will manipulate that propaganda to gain favour or support from around the world.

However, these "private" texts and recorded confessions from so many Russian soldiers now, does show that even the Russian soldiers themselves were totally misinformed and deliberately misled by Putin, as to what they were going into Ukraine for and what they were supposed to do..... "Liberate Ukraine" from the so called Nazis....

There are just far too many of these similar stories coming out of this war already....and this will no doubt result in Putin's downfall..

If nobody outside of Russia takes care of Putin.... I have no doubt at all that his own people will.. at some point in the near future

Look at facts not bullshit or public opinion

The man is a murdering cunt now as far as I am concerned I don't care how popular he is/was

As I said before Hitler was popular it doesn't mean he wasn' t a murdering cunt

"Look at facts not bullshit or public opinion"

Have you looked at the interviews that have taken place with ordinary Russian people, on the streets of Russia?

They have absolutely zero clue as to what is happening in Ukraine..... and I mean absolutely no idea at all.... only what is fed to them from their national media, so it's no wonder at all that they support Putin

The younger more social media active generation are not buying any of Putin's bullshit 

Putin has blocked a lot of the western media from Russian networks now, and whilst some might argue that it is to prevent the western ideology or "propaganda" from infiltrating the Russian way of life.... most of us know that he has actually done this to prevent the Russian people from seeing exactly and precisely what murderous activities are happening in the Ukraine by their own Russian military

The fact is there are problems that should have been negotiated in good faith long ago.   The problem is that Ukraine has a population of more or less 52% ethnic Russians and 48% ethnic Ukrainians - the borders being determined to ensure that the Russians will have a majority in the then Soviet Republic who determined the borders artificially in 1953.   Russia in 1991 was happy to let Ukraine becomes an independent state - with the population component favoring the Russians.   

However, after the election in 2014 - an ethnic  Russian still won the election and it took an uprising by ethnic Ukrainians - supported by the EU and the USA  to remove the  legally elected President.   Ukraine manage to get billions in assistance from the USA and those grants were used for kick back purposes to American politicians  like Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, Schiff and a string of others.   A totally corrupt environment.

In 2014 a civil war broke out between the predominantly new Ukraine Government and the predominantly Russian population in Crimea, Southern and Eastern Ukraine.   Although the Civil War in theory stopped in 2015 after the Minsk treaty, there were constant attacks from both sides and serious atrocities committed against innocent people - also on both sides.

The situation deteriorated this year.   The attacks on Russians in Ukraine intensified and Russian Speaking members of the Ukraine Parliament were arrested but never charged of any offences.    Instead of trying to resolve the situation - the USA and EU countries did not care what happened to innocent people in Ukraine and  especially  in the area where ethnic Russians live.   When these attacks became  continuous in January 2022 and included areas where the Central Government in Eastern Ukraine  had no authority after 2015 - the Putin Government decided to move into Ukraine to protect the ethnic Russians from attacks by Ukrainians.   

So like Putin in this case - the present Ukraine Government were not democratic and no angels themselves.   That brings us to what caused and influenced the present situation.   However, instead of trying to try and reach a settlement between the adversaries the position was worsened by the idiotic Biden   Administration  - who turned everything they touched in the USA into shit and is extremely unpopular in the USA .   Biden encouraged the Ukraine to  provoke Russia leading to the present scenario. in a desperate effort to get public support for the Democrats and Biden.   

The Russians thus far in the attack on Ukraine has not much into areas where Ethnic Ukrainians predominate.  The answer is simple - sit down in negotiations in an effort to solve the Ukraine situation making sure that both sides gain from the situation and that peace and freedom be restored benefitting all the people in the Ukraine.   

There is no chance of that though - since the USA is mired in a political  political disaster area caused by Biden, he is not about to take any leadership in sorting out the mess, because he has to find a reason to re gain political support in the upcoming  US mid-term election.   Even Ramaphosa saw through the  facade created by Biden and his corrupt administration and refuse to support the UN resolution on Ukraine.                          

Ironically, the same can be said about you and your "Orange Man Bad" hysteria...LMAO!

Lol...believe what you like..."The man is a murdering cunt now as far as I am concerned "

Well I prefer to look at Statista which is a German company specialising in marketing and consumer data based in Hamburg. 

It has established itself as a reliable and sound partner for the largest companies in the world.

Mike knows something about Russia and Ukraine and is correct in context, you know absolutely zero. Empty barrels make the most noise.

Hey Crusaderfan time for another  "HIGH" shot mate.

Calm down not our fault that you are messed up.

Bottom line is if you place an animal in a cage and continually poke it with a sharp stick it will soon get really pissed of.

What would you have done in this case if you were in Putin shoes?

Far more popular than the horse lady in NZ who's only chance next election is the NZ Derby at Ellerslie.

The same type of people that supported Hitler, support Putin. It is amazing how the religious flock to authoritarian leaders, especially now that they are an increasing minority. 

The same dolts that think God is on "their" side, which just happens to be good, and anything else bad (the devil). Our Western Arab friends, the Christians... They are the only Westerners that support Putin. The West has never supported Russia, until Trump- and his stupid base. 

On the contrary, this is what Russians want to eliminate in Ukraine, neo Nazi's, who for 8 years have been terrorising, and murdering civlivians that are Russians and their supporters in Ukraine. They see the 3rd Reich and Hitler as their models...notice the emblem of flags is a swazika slighly altered. They are the catalyst to all troubles and very active in setting up one against another. The main body is referred to as the Azov Regiment. 

That is an internal problem to Ukraine.
They have a Jewish Ukrainian as president, so it is not as if he supports Nazism.
He was Democratically elected, so neither do the majority of Ukrainians. 

The Nazi-inspired symbol used by Russia in war against ...

SB

You believe all the propaganda that is fed to you.   I do not fall for propaganda and wants to see real evidence.   

Lets take another example of years of constant lying by the media and that relates to a plan of the Democrats to link Trump to Putin and Russia, while the Clinton Witch from Washington wrote in an e-mail  to her campaign manager Podesta that she has "direct access to Putin\s inner sanctum.

Like the idiots the left are Podesta computer pass word was "pass word" and aside from the mentioned e-mail there were documentation confirming that Podesta received for services rendered 75 000 shares in a Russian State-owned company.    Podesta - when confronted  by the evidence on TV he claimed that he passed the shares to a company in Vermont - the only problem being that the company is owned by his daughter.    

By the way that myth developed by the Democrats was a lie and was the source of anti-Russian media attacks for more than 5  years,     The gang at present in charge in Washington makes Zuma looks like  an honest person - they are far worse than Zuma could ever be.   They are supported by the leftist media in the USA and worldwide - obviously great supporters of the Goebbels technique  - if you repeat lies often enough people will start believing they are true.     If you ever want the truth do not believe the media. 

There developed a neo-Nazi system in the USA - Government by the Democrats - whom they can control through bribery and corruption - and the ultra-rich.   Those people are driving a system that will consolidate their ultimate dictatorial control of the USA and also the whole world,    I would not believe a word of what comes out from so-called news agencies like CNN.       

They have a Jewish leader in Ukraine fools Shark and many...that's precisely one of the methods that fool shallow and naive people. He is a puppet. During the WW2 holocaust there were turncoat Jews that sold their own people for benefits of preservation and financial rewards. Soros is a Jew.

The hottest place in hell is reserved for creatures such as these, the despicable act of all. I'm very fond of the Jews, went to school at SACs for a brief period. But like Christians there are false Christians and false Jews.

So this fools the West, LOL. Just one of the many deceptions that have been set up, fake news and fake photographs abound. If you feel so strongly about it , go there and see for yourself. Satan is the father of lies and a very shrewd deceiver...he fools all of us at times but it is an eassier task for him to fool unbelievers.

There is none so blind as those that WILL not SEE.

Just wow Seb don't hide your anti Semitism feeling there will you .

Well I believe you about false christians existing your a shining example of that you racist prick. Sometimes I think its a pity there is no hell for cunts like you to end up in but I will take comfort that you will cease to exist one day and therefore make the world a better place

I see your little cunt also blew up a maternity hospital, next you will be telling us they were only Jew women and babies so its ok. What's your excuse for this atrocious act then?

Notice how these liars, foulmouth Sader and Redneck attack telling blatant and outright lies.

I've never been anti semic at all. On the contrary I went to SACS and you are so thick...more than 60% of the school were Jewish and I made a lot of friends there. I clearly stated that I am very fond of the jews...one David Shein saved my life when he operated at St Augustines.

My late mother was helped wonderfully by her Jewish friends when she was terminally ill.

It's people like you that are so full of hatred and this blinds you.

Bloody liars but very stupid too and very sick perverts.
