              @Punkboy: Oh stop feigning insult, this is the internet, im not married to you. The ukrainians are corrupt morons who started a war with russia and are now paying the price. Were you crying when ukrainians were murdering ethnic russians? Ukraine has the power to bring russia to its knees and they were threatening to join nato and install nato nukes just a few miles from moscow, they are that stupid!

              The russians aren't lesser humans who "deserve to have their children murdered"(ukrainian media propoganda). Im no fan of putin, but when push comes to shove, he has to protect his borders from NATO invasion, real or perceived. All super powers would do the same.

                @lew380: You mean when Russian forces were embedded in Donbas to create civil war and Ukrainians had the temerity to defend themselves? I think you need to come to grips with who is actually attacking who, as you seem to think Ukrainian tanks are rolling in to Moscow right now.

                • lew380 on 17/03/2022 - 13:35

                  @Punkboy: Your mixing truth with ideology. Go back another few years when NATO/US overthrew the pro-russian government and installed another nato puppet. Ironically enough, they actually used an actor! Then when you look at donbass and civil war, it started with nato aggression.

                  Your looking at events through very subjective lens, ignoring all nato involvement, then looking at russias response and just declaring them war criminals. They are responding to nato aggression, i don't like russia, but they are just responding to nato aggression. You can do the same in Crimea and keep going back, ukraine stir the bear, then cry as the victim when he bites. I call that self inflicted wounds.

                @lew380: Russians (like Germans during Nazi euphoria time) are totally brainwashed by a much stronger and powerful Poo-tin's propaganda machine than Hitler had. It is hard to disbelieve for them what they've been told - not just via TV, also via social, web, word of mouth of those who knows their "truth".
                Poo-tin turned it to a country of lies! I hope this propaganda system will fail sooner or later. Hopefully not as a result of a nuklear war.

      Ukraine doesn't exist for the purpose of eradicating Russia. Palestine does exist for the purpose of eradicating Israel. The conflicts are completely different.

        Ukraine leaning towards NATO, is seen as a plan to eradicate Russia by Putin. Now US and NATO has left pleading Ukraine alone to suffer and distributing free stickers.

        Israel came into existence to eradicate Palestine rather than the opposite you are trying to imply. Palestinians were living there from 1000s of years whereas there was no Israel before 1948. Correct your facts.

              @ChipsChicky: You're free to have that opinion, but the Ukrainian situation is significantly different from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The differences in the justification of the aggressor actions in the Ukrainian situation is black and white, but that's not so much for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The only similarity the two conflicts really have in reality might be in some of the rhetoric, namely the "guidebook" for Russian geopolitical desires and the Hamas charter:

              Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics – The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia

              The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim). – Hamas Charter, 7th Article"

              The correlation (however loose) is that Russia wants to destroy the identity of Ukraine, while Palestine (aka Hamas as the identity of the Palestinian nation was built around them) wants to destroy Judaism. You can also dig up similar statements by some Jewish rabis, although they tend not to be so explicit about and their views aren't as representative in Israeli citizens compared to Palestinian citizens .

              As a general rule of thumb, anyone who is on the "side" of Israel or Palestine has in all likelihood done very little research and/or has swallowed misinformation. Anyone who is even researched even somewhat authoritative sources recognise it's a (profanity), and the lines between who is "right" in terms of their justification is very blurry. I'll leave the discussion there though - I know that OzBargain isn't the best space to debate nuanced topics like this. ;)

                @Tyrx: You need to do research yourself. That's not self written charter of Hammas, that's a valid saying of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Israel coming into existence is itself mentioned, its expansion up to Makkah and Medina is also in prophecy and then thr destruction as per the above quote is in prophecy.

                Thr problem was that they were waiting for the last Prophet to come from them, as all the Prophets before Muhammad (PBUH) were from them but the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came from Ishmael (PBUH) rather Isaac (PBUH), they were unable to digest it due to thr pride and till this date they are unable to digest this fact.

                  @ChipsChicky: I'm well aware that it's a hadith, and that fact does not ignore how repulsive it is to call for the annihilation of an entire peoples. The inclusion of it in the charter supports the inherently rotten values and ideals of the old men who wrote that passage to stoke genocidal acts while hiding behind the façade of such actions being supported by a deity. The fact that the modern Palestinian state has incorporated this into their charter has no parallel in modern global politics.

                    Muhammad (PBUH) didn't call for thr ethnic cleansing or it would have been much easier at earlier times. Thr increased cruelty will result in thr cleansing which is getting evident with the passage of time.

          Exactly this - if US had stopped supplying weapons to Israel this Israel/Palestine conflict would have been over long time ago. But hey it's so cool to have defacto NATO force in middle east :)

          Same issue in Ukraine - supplying weapons to combatants regardless who is right or wrong only provokes more deaths.

            @firestormil1: Israel is supplied $3.8B USD annually in weapons by the US as the single largest foreign aid the US gives any country, or that any country receives for that matter. They aren't solving hunger or peace, they are supplying weapons to a vassal state. A state who's main threat are a bunch of people throwing rocks and with missiles that are nearly useless.

            Now we have to ask is that what we want Ukraine to become? A vassal state of the largest nuclear power on the border of another nuclear power that the first is aggressive against?

            @bob19: Have you ever considered that it's possible for both sides to have a valid claim on the land?

            The Palestinians are related to middle eastern Jews, proven by modern DNA testing. They are both indigenous to the land. https://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/palestinians-and-…

            The closest genetic relatives of the Middle Eastern Jews are Druze, Bedouin and Palestinians. The closest genetic relatives of the European group of Jews are Northern Italians, followed by Sardinians and French.

            The ongoing conflict is a land grab, the wealthy vs the impoverished. Nothing more.

            European Jews move to Israel, settlements are built on Palestinian land. These are the only facts that matter. What dead people did 1000 years ago is irrelevant.

            Nothing in the history books provides any justification. It's all propaganda you've been fed since childhood.

              Jews and Arabs lived on this land for two thousand years.
              You may also want to learn that in 1948 UN planned to divide the land called Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state. However the neighbouring Arab states refused to create the Arab state and instead attacked new state of Israel immediately after the Israeli Declaration of Independence had been issued.
              You may also want to learn what Jordan did to the palestinians, to learn how many were killed and how many were kicked out of Jordan and what for.

              Russian soldiers are dying (and part of them are 18-22 yo kids who don't even know what they are fighting for, because they were forced to do so). Ukrainian citizens are being killed for nothing. My friends are in danger now (friends from Donetsk who have never ever seen any Nazis in Ukraine) And my own Mother is saying that Putin is doing the right thing (attacking Kiev while my partner was there) because of all this Russian propaganda.

                zelensky asking everyone to get assault rifles and handing out to the general population is not nazi.
                asking the population to kill russian soldiers is not nazi - isn't it obvious that anyone carrying a weapon/molotov coctail will be killed on the spot?
                calling molotov coctail "bandera smoothy" is not nazi. Show this to your polish friends they will appreciate this high quality joke.

There are no Nazi parades, Poroshenko is a bit of an idiot but never said what you are claiming he has said, Zelensky is also not Poroshenko.

                  People attacking a brother land with no reason, killing innocent citizens - are not humans, they are species. Please don't listen to pieces of public speaches carefully prepared for "YouTube truth", listen to the full versions, and keep in mind all the events, as these speaches are directly connected to what's happening in the world.

                  All this crap about rifles and general population - if someone is going to attack Australia I'll be the first in a row of getting a rifle to save my new country. I'm sorry if you won't.

                  If that's going to be a Chinese army - I'll tell everyone to kill Chinese soldiers, if it's going to be a Russian army - I'll tell everyone to kill Russian soldiers. To keep my own and my family lives and freedom. It's not Nazi, It's called "defence". Russia is currently attacking Russian speaking cities and Ukrainian Nazis are trying to save Russians from Russia, not sure who is a nazi here.

                  Russian army is a poorly trained group of kids conscripted without their agreement, even unprofessional resistance with a knowledge of terrain/hiding spots can be a great support to the regular army. So I see no issues with getting as much help as you can get. Also you can't get a gun as easy as it shown on tv, currently only trained men are accepted to territorial militia.

                  I can't see the reason to show nonsense to my polish friends. People from Poland are offering a great help to Ukranian "Nazis" and I'm truly greatfull.

                    @jellical: I truly hope your family and friends and everyone over there has a speedy end to the war and can go back to living their lives.

                    However I would mention that from my perspective, the Russian invasion is the glacae cherry on the cake that is decade's of US pressure om Ukraine to join NATO, keep a garrison, research biological weapons and ultimately according to concerned Russians house US nuclear missiles aimed at Russia. You only have to go back a few years to the Cuban missile crisis to see the US's behaviour to a much further away threat than Ukraine is to Russia. 20 years of NATO expansion and broken promises has led here, and people that won't talk about this ignore history at their peril.

                      @Jackson: Thanks man, my partner is safe now, thanks to Australian embassy. They were super helpful. Friends are not, unfortunately, but at the moment the best I can do is to send them some money, and hope that it will come to an end soon.

                      Ukraine was happy to join NATO, the problem is that NATO is not happy for Ukraine to join. It's basically breaking all the theories. Ukraine wanted to join for the last 8 years, and hoped that NATO will help them. Well, NATO did not.

                      Biological weapon is just a Russian fake, they are trying to find a reason for invasion. As well as nuclear weapon. All these theories appeared after the invasion, not before. The whole reason for this "special operation" (you can get up to 15 years in prison for calling it a war in Russia) was initially just to protect Russian people of Donetsk and Lugansk area. People who only suffer now because Russia sent troops there 8 years ago, masking them as "freedom fighters". Russia was doing the same thing in Moldova and Georgia, so tactic is well known.

                      All these labs - are just biological labs, they are the reason we advance in medicine, agriculture etc. Australia, EU and the USA are working together exchanging the results with these labs. That is what normal peaceful people do. All the countries have them. These labs are low security labs and they dont have anything really dangerous there. Even the documents Russia showed as a proof list nothing dangerous or even remotely useful as a weapon.

                      I'm not discussing the US here. I don't think that NATO are angels, but Ukraine entering NATO is not a real threat to Russia (there are plenty of countries close enough). And it's definitely not enough to justify the invasion.

                  @firestormil1: What a load of BS! You have been completely brainwashed by the russian media.
                  According to the Russian media Ukraine is governed by neo-nazi and drug edicts. They say that russian speaking people have been discriminated against and have been suffering and would welcome Russian troups who would liberate them from neo-nazi regime.
                  So, why don't you look at the results of the elections in 2019? Coalition of movements with Nazi views got only about 2% votes and not a single person from this coalition got into the Parliament. And a native Russian speaking Jew was elected a President.
                  Since russian troups have begun war all Ukrainians either resist russian troups or flee the country. They don't want to live under the Putin's regime.
                  According to the Russian propaganda, which you are blindly repeating, Ukranian president Zelensky is nazi because he called to resist and kill russian soldiers. Wow, what a logic!
                  So his call to kill russian soldiers who are murdering Ukrainian citizens, including women and children, bombarding the cities and and occupying the country demonstrates that he is nazi, does it? I guess he should've asked people to surrender, welcome russian troups and give all powers to putin's puppet.
                  Just follow your own call to DYO research and not to eat propaganda.
                  I also suggest you study history. We have already seen very similar events at the end of 30-s last century in Europe. Putin is following Hitler's and Stalin's steps. And the rest of the world is just watching and hoping that he won't go any further.

                    Calling your own citizens to kill professional soldiers equals sending them to guaranteed death which is absolutely deplorable.
                    You can have any opinion you want - it's your democratic right. I am a Jew myself and my grand grandparent were killed by ukranian SS - and seeing them parade is beyond my capability so stop right there and stop embarrassing yourself.

                      Don't you see that russian soldiers are killing civilians? Is it OK with you? If it is then you are the one who needs a psychiatric help.
                      As for the Ukrainian soldiers they are killing russian soldiers who are occupying their coutry and killing the civilains. The Ukrainian soldiers are defending their people amd their country from the occupiers.
                      firestormil1: "Calling your own citizens to kill professional soldiers equals sending them to guaranteed death which is absolutely deplorable."
                      Calling soldiers and citizens to defend their country from the occupiers is what any sensible person would be doing. As for the russian occupying forces they consist of mostly totally unprofessional soldiers. Putin sent 18 -20 year old kids who were called to serve in the army to occupy Ukraine. Putin never cared about his citizens. He has already killed many thousands of them for his own political and economical gain.
                      firestormil1: "I am a Jew myself and my grand grandparent were killed by ukranian SS"
                      Millions of Jews were killed by the Russians and the Germans during 1930-s and 1940-s. There are still some people with the nazi views in these countries, not to mention other countries including Australia, UK, etc. Does it mean that majority of people in these countries are nazi and/or SS members?
                      Looks like you are totally missing the point. Nazi in Ukraine are as unpopular as in Russia, Australia, Germany, UK, Poland, etc.
                      And if there is a small group of people with the nazi views in any country, it doesn't warrant launching the war against such a country and murdering its citizens indiscriminately.
                      But following your logic, this is essentially what you are in favour.
                      You just can't see the obvious. As per my previous post - Putin is following Hitler's and Stalin's steps. Putin acts just like Hitler when he started the war under the pretension of liberating the Germans in the neighbouring countries.

According to UN the situation in Yemen is the worst humanitarian crisis on our planet not even Ukraine. I am not talking about previous crisises in Iraq/Iran/Kosovo/Lybia etc - the situation in Yemen is happening now. Enlighten me why West doesn't cut ties with UAE- I will give you the clue , for the same reason why all the western sanctions against Russia exclude everything energy related (payments for oil/gas are allowed, oil and gas and uranium are excluded) - it's called we stand up against anything as long as we can afford it.

      No doubt what's happening in Ukrain shouldn't be happening at any cost, no single soul is worth living in fear.
      I also condem what KSA and other Muslim nations are doing in Yamen and I also condemn what US and allies have done in middle eastern nation in name of WMD.
      Millions were killed in the name of collateral damage kids,women and many families completely wiped off.

      What I believe wrong is on news many anchors and politician's giving a wrong narrative giving hype to one while neglecting others.
      Just quoting one person on news where he said " These are blue eyes , well dressed middle class people just like us, these are not the refugees we are used to looking"

        "In 2015 and 2016, the regiment gained attention after allegations of torture and war crimes, as well as neo-Nazi sympathies, and usage of associated symbols by the regiment, as seen in their logo featuring the Wolfsangel, one of the Nazi symbols used by the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich."
