Breaking news...explosions heard in Belarus. Ukraine saying this is the attack Russia have been planning to do and blame on Ukraine..could pull Belarus into the war....could be a major mistake for Putin... see how the dice fall
Will there be a grassy knollPutin is expected to attend.
Or a Franz Ferdinand?Will there be a grassy knoll
one can only hopeWill there be a grassy knoll
Not from me? Their volunteers recruited to fight back against Russian occupation after 2014. They say their Patriots.. Russia has plenty, check the web.Is there no concern about the far-right Azov regiment on the Ukraine side of things?

War in Ukraine: Fourth Russian general killed - Zelensky
The news raises questions over why senior Russian officers are getting so close to the fighting.www.bbc.co.uk
I dinnae think anyone on here is on the fence Davy. Appreciate the updates mate, keep them coming.So the world still plays with words like likely in regard to war crimes, whilst residential areas are flattened. Mariupol a city of 350,000 had 80% of property damaged or destroyed.
Villages around Kiev reporting rapes every day by RF
Videos of RF mocking Ukranians by showing them inside Ukranian homes
No word on the bombing of the drama theatre with over 1000 in it yet from Marxist magazine...no doubt will soon read it was all Ukraines fault and anyone no one was inside
Meanwhile while RF are air bombing innocent civilians Ukranian forces are still smashing enemy columns and another Colonel taken out by the Mariupol regiment. This colonel in particular overseen the destruction of Ukranian columns in 2014
Sorry if I appear to not be on the fence much any more..guess I am not

The far left were on the Stop the War protests last week standing side by side with people with Ukraine flags and much yellow and blue.Didn't notice you there.The arch enemy Corbyn was on the London demo.I can't believe anyone from the left defends the Russian Federation. Everything there is now geared to service the elite. Your average Russians freedoms are zilch, at best well restricted. Mother Russia ain't what it used to be and about as removed from a socialist state as it could be. There's no real/open elections.
On the other hand we have the former Russian satellite countries. Fledgling democracies each now with the right to self determination using that basic human right to, for example, join the EU or NATO. They're far from perfect democracies but the opposition isn't disappeared and elections do take place.
If ever the far left were fucked up this is it.
You explained it within 30 minutes of printing this shite yourself Davy, no fatalities reported.Reports stating over 1000 could be killed in theatre bombing, pictures of schools and hospitals destroyed. I am eagerly awaiting the marxist paper to explain these today.
As an organising principle i detest the far right and feel they should be opposed with whatever means necessary because of their view that democracy is at best a subvertable means to create an authoritarian ethno-state.Is there no concern about the far-right Azov regiment on the Ukraine side of things?

Ukrainian resistance has slowed down the russians with military help from from NATO countries.O k not copy and paste time just copy time.This is the leaflet the 'Far Left' of Edinburgh put out on the demo last week.Big G likes to big up the Marxist Tendency.Here is the leaflet from the small group I'm from rs21 Scotland:-Russia Out of Ukraine!
Vladamir Putin's war on Ukraine has to be condemned as an act of imperialist aggresion.Every day that the invasion of Ukraine continues is a disaster for Ukrainians and a danger to the whole world,with missiles now raining down on cities and Russia putting its nuclear foces on high alert.
But we can take heart from the fact that Putin isn't having it all his own way.Ukrainian resistance has slowed down the Russian forces'advance,with unconfirmed reports of Russian soldiers surrendering.And inside Russia anti-war protests have exploded in almost every city.,with tens of thousands continuing to protest despite mass arrests.
We can best support all those opposing the invasion by demanding that our government allow all Ukrainian refugees who want to come here immediate entry without a visa,andby building the strongest possible anti war movement here in Britain.
NATO and Western politicians will only exploit the crises for their own advantage.They don't care about Ukrainian lives any more than Putin does.If the UK government did value them as it claims to,they would welcome refugees and facilitate safe passage into Britain.Threats of military action,or the expansion of NATO only escalate tensions and do nothing to stop the threat of the war spreading.And economicsanctions that hit ordinary people in Russia will do nothing to help them build a movement that can challange Putin and his war -mongering.PTO
Take Action
We have to take action independent of our government to show solidarity to people in Ukraine and Russia who are working for peace,de-escalation and self-determination.This means:
.Welcome refugees without distinction
We should immediately demand that all refugees who want to come here are welcomed without a visa-and that this should be the right of all refugees,not just people from Ukraine.We should oppose the Tories Nationality and Borders Bill,which will make the lives of all refugees and migrants worse.
.Support the anti war movement in Russia and everywhere
The brightest hope at present is the resistance of ordinary Russians to their government's war-mongering.We have to support them,but also build a strong anti-war movement here so that we can resist the Torie's attempts to take advantage of the situation.And we should oppose Keir Starmer's attempts to make loyalty to NATO compulsory for the Labour party,The fight for more democracy in Russia is not helped by threatening democracy here.
.For a world free from threat of war
Russian imperialism is part of a world system of competing capitalist states,and British governments have attacked many other countries in the same way as Russia is attacking Ukraine-the Tories are hypocrits when they try to claim the moral high ground.The government and its NATO allies are worsening the situation by engaging in brinkmanship,making reckless statements and moving more soldiers onto Russia's western border.We should demand that Britain withdraws from NATO and abandons nuclear weapons as steps towards a world free from threat of war.
.Campaign to scrap Trident nuclear weapons
The SNP is commited to NATO membership and re-joining the EU as part of an independent Scotland.NATO is a nuclear alliance.Membership makes geting rid of Trident nuclear missiles near impossible.Recent days have shown that posessing nuclear weapons is not a guarentee of peace.
RS21. -This is the real far left responce to what is happening in the Ukraine-not as some would have it on here.
Wow I cannot begin to understand your level of denial I said that a huge bomb had fell on the theatre which is reckoned to shelter around 1500 people and there could be many many casualties I then seen a report that the bomb shelter as they are calling it, had not been destroyed and that there may be minimal casualties however the continual shelling of Russian cowards is causing the rescue operation to be delayed and rescuers (heroes) cannot get peace to clear the rubble to get into the shelters. Therefore a whole lot of people could die with the delays No one knows at present how many will die and that I have made clear to all but you with red tinted glasses.You explained it within 30 minutes of printing this shite yourself Davy, no fatalities reported.
No need for anyone else to, eh!
BIG G
Strangely enough it was our flag waivers that took care or Gorbachev then Yeltsin, you're only solution is 'perhaps a general will bump him off' well good luck with that theory.Ukrainian resistance has slowed down the russians with military help from from NATO countries.
The lefts response, unless I'm reading this wrong, is to get rid of NATO , get rid of our nuclear deterrent, stop threatening to defend ourselves militarily, stop imposing sanctions and wave a flag on Princes street then everything will be hunky dory.
That would deter the nutters like Putin right enough.
Much as I don't like the current govt. I don't feel my democracy has been threatened ,I'm free to vote against them.
And just for clarification how many other countries has Britain attacked in the same way that Russia is attacking Ukraine.
Thats the trouble with far right and far left politics, if you go far enough right and far enough left eventually they become indistinguishable and thats when democracy is threatened.
In what way did your flag wavers "take care of" both Gorbachev and Yeltsin?Strangely enough it was our flag waivers that took care or Gorbachev then Yeltsin, you're only solution is 'perhaps a general will bump him off' well good luck with that theory.
Strange reply, Gorbachev was one of the good guys and it was internal economic pressure that done for Yeltsin and let Putin get his foot in the door, I’m sorry but I don’t think your flag waving had anything to do with it.Strangely enough it was our flag waivers that took care or Gorbachev then Yeltsin, you're only solution is 'perhaps a general will bump him off' well good luck with that theory.

Bounce at its best gentsAs an organising principle i detest the far right and feel they should be opposed with whatever means necessary because of their view that democracy is at best a subvertable means to create an authoritarian ethno-state.
This lot are happily fighting and dying, and have been for years, to protect Ukraine as a pluralistic secular democracy with a Jewish social democrat in charge pursuing an internationalist foreign policy.
Goes without saying that I don't like their politics. But I think Ukrainians in general are happy judging them on deeds rather than words and I don't think that's an unreasonable stance amidst what threatens to degenerate into a war of annihilation.
If my comments are part of these and they are, it is not a particular aim at the left as I would have some leanings to the left myself, but that G keeps quoting Marxist magazine which suggests things like Ukraine staging events like the bombing of a hospital...or at least saying the hospital was empty when Ukraine say it was not. I don't see the relevance for saying this given that Ukrainian cities are being raized to the ground and Russian soldiers are questioning what the heck they are supposed to be doingBounce at its best

I don't think I've ever agreed with anything that big Gs said but he's a long time friend of mine and when I come up and we bump intae each other we'll have a beer and talk Hibs

Im not going to trawl through the thread... maybe I used the wrong word in snidey... It was more there were digs put in needlessly, and comments which didnt add anything to a "debate".Such as?
I thought debate was welcomed on this forum; and furthermore they are certainly not shy about posting content and voicing their own opinions. I freely admit, the tone of self-righteous moral superiority irks me, but I certainly hope I nevertheless play the ball not the man, so to speak?
Aye, fair point ZabSnider comments from all sides, game on!
We may have shit healthcare coverage and shit education funding but my god do we know how to make things that blow shit up!Your last paragraph Davy could be the game changer, thats some package the yanks are giving the Ukrainians
