@WarMonitor3 Are you referring to this case? He was not just arrested, but was convicted today.

@FinestDoveTruth So well said, the underlying fact is that the UK is uncompetitive and is losing its edge in the global market. No amount of brexit, blaming the immigrants and changing the gov't will alter the course.

@maksimologija @WillCalverleyUK I am talking about your master Putin being a joke in front of the world. Once a superpower, now begged N Korea for help

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@maksimologija @WillCalverleyUK None of the int'l law gives Russia any right to invade. No one outside Russia agrees with Russia propaganda. And tbh, Putin is making himself a joke as Ukraine is still standing strong after 4 years of war with Russia, which had to beg China and N. Korea for help.

@maksimologija @WillCalverleyUK None of these excuses give Russia any right to invade an independent sovereign country, bomb and kill innocent civilians, boy

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@paulgilly @Yups429655 @WillCalverleyUK Before putting up Russian propaganda you should learn how basic rules first. If anyone in Ukraine really "committed" international crime, you convict the individuals in int'l court. You don't commit even larger int'l crime by invading an entire country & killing more innocent ppl

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@maksimologija @WillCalverleyUK This is just Russia propaganda which nobody pays attention to. These do not give Russia any right to invade an independent sovereign country either.

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@paulgilly @Yups429655 @WillCalverleyUK You are a joke. That doesn't give Russia any right to invade an independent sovereign country. Russia is a cancer of the world

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@paulgilly @Yups429655 @WillCalverleyUK You are a joke. It was Russia which first invaded the independent Ukraine, then put up excuses to complain about Ukraine not meeting its demand, then invaded again. Russia is a cancer of the world.

@ParcaRolan75042 @EmaStreetP @WillCalverleyUK I just know that Britain first landed on the no-man Falkland Islands in 1690 and had first settlement in 1765.

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@EmaStreetP @ParcaRolan75042 @WillCalverleyUK Hello, Britain first landed on the no-man Falkland Islands in 1690 and had first settlement in 1765. It is doubtful any Argentina ancestors was able to sail to Falkland Islands in 1765

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@ParcaRolan75042 @EmaStreetP @WillCalverleyUK How is it the same? When the British occupied Falkland Islands, Argentina wasn't even an independent country

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@paulgilly @Yups429655 @WillCalverleyUK Russia invaded Crimea. There is no talk of any election or referendum before Russia completely withdraw from the whole of Ukraine including Crimea

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@_Manozz_ @WillCalverleyUK How is it the same? When the British occupied Falkland Islands, Argentina wasn't even an independent country

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@_Manozz_ @WillCalverleyUK No one knows that until a legal referendum is conducted without the influence of Russia

[jerry.lau1897 @JLau1897]

@_Manozz_ @WillCalverleyUK Russia has recognised Ukraine's independence in 1991, with Boris Yeltsin acknowledging the vote for sovereignty. Russia formally guaranteed Ukraine’s borders and sovereignty in 1994, and both nations signed a treaty in 1997 agreeing to respect existing borders (including Crimea)
