The west really need to get the information to the Russian people as they are the only ones who can truly defeat Putin.  sanctions against all his cronies ( the oligarchs didn’t get their wealth without his backing) may help them turn against him. We in the west must be prepared for a huge change in our living standards to help combat this genocidal attack on a country that voluntarily gave up its Nuclear arsenal. The West couldn't even get the message out to our own people, they didn't exactly tell the truth to the public why we got involved in the Middle East ..

Do you remember when NATO bombed civilians in Serbia because Kosovo wanted independence? If so what is the difference from Kosovo wanting independence and the Crimea and Donbass?

Perhaps he feels that he has something to prove, or he’s simply a genocidal lunatic, I can’t make my mind up which is the worst.  It's been going on since 2014 (this time) there has been civil war. A couple of areas want to re-join Russia. The Crimea and Donbass regions. They've been subject to attacks by the Ukrainian National Guard. Putin has sent troops to protect them. He's been trying to get the west to help sort the situation out. What did they do? Nothing because it would assist Russia and expand their borders. It's a highly complicated issue and war seems the only way. It's like the Palestine issue. Both sides think the area is there's and won't accept the others point of view. We have had a similar problem with Northern Island for a 100 years. Things are never that simple even though the media want everybody to think Putin woke up one day and decided he'd do a bit of invading because he's an evil tyrant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Even if they were against him it's too late to stop now. He's almost won that's why Ukraine has decided to talk to the Russians. The media inspired dad's army will all be killed, it's unfair to ask them to fight when those encouraging won't. 1 minute ago, L00b said: NATO bombed Yugoslavia because they were ethnically cleansing Albanians in Kosovo at the time.  The Nazi National Guard is doing the same to Russians in Crimea and Donbass. 30k have been killed in the civil war since 2014.
