Thankyou that gave me a chuckle!

Same reason they didn't cut ties with the US and UK when they were slaughtering all those Iraqi children - it's really not that complicated.

And your heroes are the ones throwing Julian Assange in a Supermax Gulag for 200 years for reporting war crimes - is that right?

Why's it a pity? If your delicate sensibilities can't handle hearing alternate opinions why on earth would you come on a public internet discussion forum? There's a "block" function so that you don't have to torture yourself reading my posts. I haven't noticed you criticsing any of the Nazi-sympathising posts - seems very puzzling.

Well, as you have pointed out, you read the Ukrainian and Russian press so we can expect your prediction of the Ukrainian forces invading Russia and besieging Moscow should be swinging into practice anytime soon right? Until then, there's a good chance that Odessa will represent Phase 3 of the war once the Donbass has been secured. As such, and in answer to your question directly, the Donbass campaign isn't a feint it's one of the stated military objectives of the Russians as you, no doubt, already know.

Quite the opposite. Ukrainians quite rightly have the freedom to make their choices - but those choices have consequences. Just like Cuba wanted to site missiles on their own sovereign territory and have been the subject of US sanctions, embargoes, attempted coups and assassinations ever since. We are running a war in Yemen at the moment - should their people be dying for our glory? Where are your posts demanding the same actions be taken against the UK government? Any difference you can think of between Ukrainians and Yemenis that could justify it? Or Iraqis? Or Libyans? Or Syrians?

Back from my enforced absence and I see little has changed. Still have the same amateur psychobabble about evil unhinged Putin being off his meds and "having his nuclear weapons taken off him". Meanwhile the reality is that the Ukrainian forces are steadily being ground down in a systematic manner around Donbass, the rumour is that the Russians have captured a high-vale NATO general in the Azovstahl plant, likely a Canadian Lt Gen involved in running the biological weapons programme, the Russian forces have captured a huge warehouse of arms and ammunition accounting for much of the "support" that the West has sent and, most importantly, the Americans are now openly saying that their plan is to fight Russia by proxy and degrade their military capability - in other words, that was never about "Ukrainian freedom" - as some of us tried pointing out on numerous occasions. Funny how time has a habit of revealing the truth.

They won't. The Russians would just change tactics and embed themselves withing the population whilst shooting the drones out of the sky. Drones alone can't win a war against an organised, mechanised army such as the Russians.

My posts are there for anyone to read - mangling them through your particular right-wing prism isn't convincing at all. Neither is your "but what about the BABY Nazis?" act. The more you post the more it becomes apparent you're a military head-the-ball with Nazi sympathies - of course you aren't going to understand what the Russians are upto - that's been my point all along.

I'll expect your cheque and a box of weaponry through the post then.

No - I'm just a fan of the reality-based community. The reality is that Putin is winning and will set the terms. You think Ukraine are winning and will chase the Russians back over the border. Let's see what happens.

Try and keep up - it's straightforward. I support Putin eliminating them wherever they are found. You can dance around what the definition of a Nazi is if you like - they're usually easy enough to identify. Arguing the toss about it is neither here nor there and is no defence for your despicable views. I'm glad that, in addition to your evident support for Nazis you also have such concern for their wellbeing. Your attempt to allude to concentration camps when you openly support literal Nazis is disgusting.

More likely they're gonna do what Putin tells them.

Yes, I'm happy to cheer on troops that are eliminating Nazis. It's probably best that most of the wartime generation have died - they would weep to see what became of their country.

You're confusing yourself. I said I was happy to answer a question if you could be exact about it ( a general question can also be phrased in an exact way - the generality being the topic, the exactness being the prose). IN terms of Iraq, the point is that EVERY war involves the killing of innocent bystanders - always has, always will. So to answer your point about whether Russia is taking more care or less care to avoid un-necessary harm we have to compare how they are doing in comparison to other wars. Unfortunately for you, the figures are not in your favour, by a long way.

Sure, you're not suffering sitting at home. I quite understand your position.

We were estimating how many Nazis there were in Ukraine. I estimate millions - but it's an estimate. However many there are, I hope Putin catches very last one. Unlike you I'm not a supporter of Nazis.

You'll have to make your question far more specific. Happy to answer if you can give the exact circumstances. Plenty of evidence you've just chosen to ignore it. Here's a starter for you. Compare casualties in the Iraq War versus Russia's campaign in Ukraine and tell me which one sought to "avoid hurting anyone else if possible". Killing Nazis is only one of Putin's four stated aims. Open a book sometime.

Yeah, they armed Wehrmacht soldiers after the Nazi's were militarily destroyed correct? Of course, many escaped or lived on secretly, but as a national force they wer crushed - predominantly by the Soviets/Russians who, by the way, killed 90% of their military. "Unleash the devil to prevent the murder of civilians" is more meaningless ********. The Ukrainian Neo Nazis you support and want to send further arms to burnt 42 civilians alive in a building - two weeks after that the two separate statelets in Donbass declared their intention for independence. So - did you advocate "arming the devil" (in your eyes Putin) to bring justice to those Nazis? No, you want to send them more weaponry and resources whilst pretending to hide behind some noble mission to "save civilians". Despicable.

I've said on multiple occasions there are Nazis in Russia's focres. I've said on at least one occasion that, owing to the size of Russia's forces there are probably more total number of Nazis than in Ukraine's army (but Im guessing). What you don't have is official Nazi groupings. Nazi statues. Awards given for being a Nazi in Russia. So please stop making things up - it's a sign of your increasingly weakening argument. No doubt, if your Wagner tirade was proven, you would be setting up a PayPal donation to them as we speak.

Oh wow - so, in this case, there are (according to you) 1000 Azov Nazis but the actual answer is that you would "arm the devil himself" which - I assume - means there is no actual limit. And there goes any claim of moral superiority you have which you rely on for your answers. In your own words you are a practical and theoretical supporter of Nazis. Let anyone reading your posts from this point on bear that in mind. How many civilians would I prepare to see die to kill a Nazi? Tricky one really - depends hugely on the circumstances - you looking down the scope of a rifle or dropping a bomb? This is the central debate around Bomber Harris I suppose. Most people, properly educated on the facts would say he (and we) were examples of war criminals. Personally, I give a far wider range of latitude when it comes to eliminating Nazi scum - as I'm sure the WW2 veterans of our forces did. How ashamed they would be to see your words.

Sounds like a great idea! While there are open and official Nazi groupings in the UA however there are no such in the Russian army. Obviously, if there were it would be the perfect solution.

So you won't answer a simple question. Everyone reading the thread can reflect for themselves on the reason why. Well, when (or if) you find the courage, I'm sure we pick the debate up.

The proof I just gave you you said was made up. What proof would you accept that you wouldn't automatically say exactly the same thing to?

Yes, who needs to bother with evidence or critical thought when we can just email Riedquat to point his finger at whoever he's been told to dislike that week.
