@DerekHuffmanRU@rshereme Russia and Ukraine are not the same. Russia is the attacker against the laws and treaties and Ukraine is the defender. Helping Ukraine is lawful. Helping Russia is a crime. And yes, Russia signed the exact treaties that makes Russia an aggressor.
@adnashmyash@rogerwaters The easiest solution is to respect the laws and treaties, both Russia and Ukraine have signed. Only Russia violates these treaties. There is no legal ground for any separatism.
@U305Canes@JessicaTarlov What's interesting here is that this practice used to be often referred to as socialism in the US, but now suddenly it's not anymore. We shouldn't care. 2/2
@U305Canes@JessicaTarlov Well, it's common practice in many European countries. And we never thought it was socialism. Of course, the state has a say in proportion to its shareholding (which is also a reason for holding shares, almost never for profit). 1/2
@PopoolaAyomiku2 I would like to see Putin in The Hague. Ukraine is only the latest episode in his crimes. I am quite sure that he deserved a life sentence decades ago. All the Russians he ordered murdered, all those bombend, poisoned, kicked out of windows, beaten to death.
@adnashmyash Or Putin, who is always handed these funny slips of paper with funny numbers on them. Everyone pretends to believe him, even though anyone who has attended elementary school knows that they are made up and that if they were remotely true, Russia would have won the war years ago.
@adnashmyash It reminds me of the European diplomats who think Trump is a total idiot but still pretend to admire his cheap shelf with the silly caps. Once Trump is out of the picture, however, they won't be able to hold back the vomit any longer.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA And let's not forget the lies. They lie through their teeth. When Putin quotes absurd figures, everyone thinks that if even 10% of them were true, Ukraine would no longer exist, and that was four years ago. The only funny thing is that he is being lied to just as much.
@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Total disregard for life, both that of their own soldiers and that of civilians and prisoners of war. Torture and abuse are hallmarks of the Russian army. One could even say that they are part of the culture, as this practice has been a tradition for so long.
@JenCommon@NoLieWithBTC Let's assume that you think this behavior is good (a role model, so to speak) and that you could teach a class of children to behave in exactly the same way. What a disaster that would be. They would be at each other's throats. That's because this behavior is that of a psycho.
@JenCommon@NoLieWithBTC I guess the framing is a bit off, but I mean, it is bad manners to demand an honor, especially since the only achievement so far has been to court a dictator and wanted war criminal.
@FkkHypocrisy@CMcscroll@P_Kallioniemi I find it funny given the crazy situation. An autocrat (child abductor, instigator of political murders, war criminal) who has been attacking another country for years in violation of international law and has reduced cities to rubble is being welcomed like a man of honor.
@CreativSam2@PolitlcsUK Looks like they were trying to subdue him. It involves no wall however, but pushing the head down. The police (well, I can only speak about the German police, but I guess there are similarities) has certain legal tools to deal with violent behavior or resiting to arrest.
@IHitsov @P_Kallioniemi@Fidias0 Because he is open to all options, including kidnapping, I guess. His "evidence based" ends where rules and laws and treaties come into play. Russia is an aggressor under the UN Charta.
