    Yes Bush and Blair should face war criminal charges just as Putin should for lying to the masses to shed blood for their own gain.

    I think civilian targets does not mean firing guns at individuals walking around, it means residential buildings in residential areas have been targeted and hit while individuals hide in basements, underground stations and therefore mostly escape instant death. The destruction of residential buildings is indisputable. It's on film.

    The fear in ex-soviet states is real. My lady friend has abandoned Latvia to permanently join me here in Belgium and England, while her family in Latvia have packed emergency bags ready to leave. They do not want a return to Soviet times.

    It's always been described in British press releases as a potential saviour. Whether that's 100% true or not is definitely open to debate.

    Perhaps we should include some postcard shots from Mariupol so he can cut through the Putin bollocks! I’d be tempted but they are downright obscene!

    His contribution on here over the years has been very positive and it’s a crying shame it’s come to this but unless people who have been brainwashed by Putin come to realise the suffering their country is causing I can’t see any other choice. I hope it’s not a permanent thing once this hell is over

    Except you said that replying to me and I never said anything about banning him off the site over this.

    Personally I suggested he was banned off the site years ago because I'm actually not comfortable with his content he posts and the legallity of it but I haven't called for him to be banned based on his tweets over the Russian Invasion or him trying to play the victim over him not getting to watch City when his country is indiscrimitly killing innocent people in an illegal invasion

    Yeah.

    I don't know though.

    I don't necessarily disagree, but I can't imagine he's getting bombarded with the same information we are, even though he probably has access to the same information if he sought it out.

    I think it's a little bit easy to criticise him, and perhaps that easy criticism is fair, but what I don't like about it is the idea we have to punish every Russian civilian, which is basically what's happening.

    I might be wrong, but I just don't think it's a good thing.

    His shirt is outdated. Maybe the club can get him an updated one, with all the names of the Ukrainian civilians printed on it who’ve died in this unnecessary conflict.
    As mentioned, if he can reach out to Simon Parker, I’m sure he can organise an illegal feed somehow to watch the game.
    I was there when he came to his first match and was introduced to the crowd. Cool guy I thought, However, until he changes his current views and unwashes his brain, I’m no longer cheering for him.

    There is more than the one posted here. Including one calling his fellow Russians opposing Putins actions traitors. He has also liked and retweeted a fair few pro Putin tweets On the nationalistic thing, that's fine but it also makes them culpable for Putins actions if they are going to be like that. It's the fact they haven't questioned him that he has been able to follow Hitlers play book play by play to get himself the power he has now where really the only way he gets removed is death. And as such putting them through hardship might be the only way to get them to reconsider because certainly decades of using the carrot hasn't worked

    Are they all good then Kev and their actions just?

    For what it’s worth I’m under no illusion that Putin the the most awful leader since the like of Mao and Hitler. But this is a thread about a Russian civilian not their government and what they’re told and how they perceive things. There is such a one eyed non empathetic way to some on here but each to their own.

    Im more than happy to call out the gullible voter/ non voter in every country in the world. For example, why is inflation at just short of 10% in the UK, 3% pandemic, 2% the Russian invasion, any idea where the other 5% came from…… ? Exports to our neighbours down down 25% imports up 43 %! Another brainwashing sold and believed by the electorate , what other explanation is there.?

    Its so easy to replicate it amongst the public in any country in the world, all one has to do is tell a lie and repeat it often enough and it becomes “ fact”.

    Remember it’s not party political!

    Sounds like we’re in agreement Kev, it can happen to any civilian population. Including our own!

    Nope, it's not anti Russian, it's based on comments he has made to the paper and his tweets.

    His football allegiances are irrelevant. Or should be to most decent people.

    Challenged and called out for what?

    Having a differing stance to our biased main stream anti-Russian media?

    Perhaps we should just make sure he sees Arnie's video. It's worth watching.

    I think there’s still over a thousand under the rubble after the last targeted attack.

    Churchill was a great speaker and rallied the nation at a desperate time for the country but he was a warmonger and a dreadful organiser of campaigns that usually ended up in defeat and mass casualties,
