Official Russia vs Ukraine War Thread

I was taken aback by these interviews with Russians saying that Ukraine is not a real country and they need to be wiped off the planet. It reminds me of a Trump rally. People fall in line and believe everything the dear leader tells them to believe.

Tell 'em comrade!!! #NoFlyZone #Zelenskyyyyyyy #StopTheSpread #JailHanoiJane

Bad Wigins - Post report for ad hominem attack. Hope you get banned.

When you speak about Ukrainian civilians, do not forget the this decree by Zelensky, rendering civilians virtually non existent. It is part of a cunning plan to further dehumanise and demonize Russian army, Russia and Russian people. I get that there are hard core racist moron who will buy into devilish scheme, but people should really be able to see it.

Ukraine Bill Makes it Legal for Anyone to Kill Russian Soldiers

The Kyiv Independent tweeted a screenshot of a decree dated March 3, which apparently gives civilians the same rights to use weapons as Ukrainian forces.

Yes, heaven forbid they should demonize the animals who are invading their country, bombing their cities, and slaughtering their people.

Putin must be paying the trolls in worthless Rubles, because the quality has really started to decline. Didn't Putin just force 130k citizens to join the military so they could go kill Ukrainian citizens? Don't you realize that Zelensky doesn't have to do anything to dehumanize and demonize the Russian army, as they've done a great job of doing that all on their own (on account of murdering a bunch of citizens in a country they illegally invaded). Back under your rock, troll.

Nothing like sacrificing your own civilians by setting them against soldiers

You mean the Americans who have invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya?

Or those are good invasions because the invaders are American?

They are not animals. They were/are not slaughtering people. It is war. This war can hardly be justified, but it is already going on. The goal should be to stop it and to minimize casualties. It was Ukrainian decision to fight back from urban areas, use civilians as a shield, put arms into civilian's hands, ...

The only animal here is one capable to say it for another human being .

I agree.

The citizens need to let the soldiers blow their houses up, blow their neighbors up.

I mean they are soldiers, and that is what soldiers do. Nobody should get in their way.

The citizens should have already abandoned the area through the gauntlet of Russian bullets. They might have made it that way. Maybe not. But again, that is what soldiers all over the world do. No need to hold these soldiers to any kind of standard.

For those that remain, they should feed those soldiers. I am sure they are hungry and tired from all of the raping and pillaging they have been doing.

korrekt, da. The Ukrainian civilians should simply recognize that they are within the Russian sphere of influence and either walk away into the forest or tie their own hands, lie down in front of their homes and wait for a Russian to shoot them. Just like the US Patriots in the Revolution did.

Where do you find this crap?

When you have nothing worthy to add to discussion, repeat accusations and blame it on Russians. It is not something that started with this war. Unfortunately, citizens, be it civilians, or armed forces, got killed during actions, on both sides. The term for killed civilians is "collateral damage". I first heard it in some report by USA about their actions in some "unimportant" country.

In Ukraine, were civilians murdered and how many, we are still to see.

Regarding Zelensky and dehumanising ... I did not say that Zelensky was dehumanising anybody. I said that there is decree by Zekensky, with consequence that there are practically no civilians in Ukraine. Invading army can not distinguish any more civilians from armed defenders. Final goal of such decree is to have as many dead civilians as possible, then use dead civilians for further demonization of invder.

Only gullible targets of Western propaganda think:

1. Russian soldiers are going into towns and blowing up people's homes.

2. Civilians can effectively go up against soldiers.

3. Ukrainian civilians who fight against Russian soldiers are brave heroes while Iraqis, Syrians, Gazans, etc. who fight against American/Israeli invasions are terrorists.

No. Those who want to be active in armed resistance should volunteer in army, get the uniform, be sent to base, unit ...

Army should try to protect civilians, not use civilians as a shield, not camouflage as civilians, not encourage civilians to kill enemy soldiers.

You haven't added anything to this discussion yet. Let's see... Russia decided to invade a sovereign nation and commit a bunch of war crimes, so yes, I think it's entirely fair to blame things on the Russians. If they didn't want the world to realize they're subhuman garbage, then maybe they should have gone around acting like subhuman garbage.

You're right. You said a decree by Zelensky was part of a plan to dehumanize and demonize the Russian army, Russia, and Russian people. If Russia can just conscript anybody in the Russia into the army, as they just did with 130,000 people, then aren't all Russians legitimate targets? I mean, how is anybody supposed to distinguish a normal Russian civilian from future murderous Russian soldier? If the Russian invaders didn't want to be demonized, then maybe they should do one good thing with their pathetic lives and start firing missiles into Moscow until Putin and all of his buddies are buried under the rubble of the Kremlin.

You give people some freedom and this is how they react...Citizens bearing arms. Because they know life is not worth living when you get jail terms from saying a word like "war." They can't and will not live like that.

Imagine the same force landing and attacking the US this way. Virtually nobody would flee. In certain areas of Chicago they probably would not notice a difference. In the greater Boston area where I live I am quite sure a large amount of the population would welcome the fight.

Imagine an American typing Putin invaded a sovereign nation and committed war crimes without being ironic!

Ever heard of Iraq? Syria? Somalia? Yemen?

I agree.

The Russians are using all precise weapons to target only military targets which include all of the buildings and structures in places like Mariupol.

Families shot and killed in their cars were either staged or the video was augmented.

We should not believe the dozens of Independant news organizations from all over the world there.

We should only believe the state controlled news organization from Russia as the sole source for all of our news.

That is what me, Carmine, Adult, and this new comrade are doing now. We don’t need to spend worthless time thinking like you westerners. We have professionals that do the thinking for us.
