I frankly don't give a fuck about anyone's support. It's fine if someone wants to debate facts and analyses, but the facts and evidence will always stand or fall on their own merits. You keep repeating this trope as though your support means anything. It doesn't. The fact you keep bringing it up says something about you. Do you crave the approval of others? I don't. Are "off-ramps" also something you crave? I don't.

As far as civil discourse, once you've made things personal, that possibility gets flushed down the toilet. As a pathetic faux-victim pussy, you've placed yourself in the same tranche as the Putin FanBoyz, worthy only of ridicule and scorn.

The affronting comment "No offense, but you seem to take the Ukraine War a bit too personally. One doesn't necessarily have to be Ukrainian to hold a personal animosity towards Russia." Oh my JM, how brash and insolent o fme to suggest that perhaps you have some personal animosity towards Russia that goes beyond a distant observer. (By the way, anyone can appear to be winning an argument on social media by trying to reshape the discussion into something else. Excessive drama over an innocuous comment, turning posts into a question of morality.).

So now, in addition to telling me how I SHOULD FEEL, you're trying to play fuckboard psychoanalyst? Wow, if anyone needs their head examined, it's YOU! Oh, BTW, a morally outraged reaction at the kinds of atrocities committed by Russia is an emotionally appropriate response. I have lots of good company on that score. But moral blindness, or worse, moral cowardice, is where you appear to pitching your tent.

You have been on the International Sex Guide for the last fifteen months almost exclusively and obsessively posting on the war in the Ukraine. You have not been present anyone else on ISG. I'm not sure how much credit one should receive for such a valiant and focused effort. Some might think being an armchair warrior on a sex site ranks just above posting a Ukrainian flag on their Facebook page.

ROTFLMAO! What a feeble attempt to insert a subtle ad hominem into your pseudo-victim-pussy-protests. I've been on USASG since the mid-2000's, and on SF Redbook forums before that. I think I have a couple of Asia-related posts on ISG, but I've never really needed to use it for mongering purposes. My reason for posting in this forum is specifically because of my strong feelings about the war in Ukraine.

And yet you, with your relatively few (and lame) posts about Canada and Brazil, are somehow trying to imply that those insipid postings give you 'gravitas' to ANY degree? Abso-fucking-lutely HILARIOUS! Clearly, the mere fact that you have to stoop to such bullshit tactics is PROOF-POSITIVE that you're a pathetic piece of excrement, truly the lowest of the low.

Being more emotional and going batshit crazy on people doesn't give you any moral superiority here. More than likely it confirms the view that you have a personal angle in this war. It actually might be better if you said your family was persecuted by the Russians or your significant other is Ukrainian. I can't be the only one here who really hopes that is the case. Otherwise, you are expending far too much time, energy and anger trying to combat anyone who has different take on the war than you. (All the while in the Stupid Shit in Kyiv of the International Sex Guide. Sorry the gravitas of the thread or the lack thereof never changes).

Once again you concoct a piteous straw-man scenario in your own tortured imagination. What does it say about you that you can't comprehend legitimate feelings of moral outrage in the face of unspeakable atrocities? If you can only conceive of being outraged when the atrocity happens to you, or someone close to you, what kind of a moral cripple you must be!

FYI: Your silly bar scene analogy was a not so clever way to try to intimidate and display aggression. You should be careful that you don't cross a line with the moderators. They don't take kindly to members threatening other members even if it is just abstract sparring in a Stupid Shit thread.

Oh, poor, pathetic, faux-victim pussy! Your whiney-beeyotch reactions don't change the fact that the analogy was SUPREMELY accurate and on point. Once again, try telling the outraged stranger at the bar that your comment about how he SHOULD FEEL was meant innocuously. I would refer you back to the original analogy for the likely response. And what you consistently try to obfuscate is that this was ENTIRELY started by YOU! Yet, in the face of that incontrovertible fact, you contemptibly try to portray yourself as the wronged party. And you, even MORE contemptibly, try to disparage my legitimately-held feelings of moral outrage as I see prisoners beheaded, little girls shot in the head, and other unspeakable acts perpetrated in calculated and systematic ways.

In the immortal words of Will Smith (in MIB) "Don't start nuthin, won't be nuthin". Of course, faux-victim pussies will always try to claim that they never start anything. You're truly the Bill Laimbeer of ISG!

If you find Stupid Shit in Kyiv inhospitable, why don't you stick to telling mongers where to find the best feijoada in Brazil? Or the best poutine in Canada? You can always throw in a little geopolitics with your culinary recommendations. That would be right up your alley and wouldn't put to much strain on your limited intellectual and argumentative capacity. I almost included "moral" in that list, but that capacity appears to be non-existent in your case.

Making the rounds of the major European capitals (and the UK), Zelenskyy came away with major arms commitments AND a show of solidarity and support that would have been hard to imagine even a few months ago (esp from Germany).

In addition to pledges of significant military assistance (tanks, armored vehicles, missiles, drones, etc.), it almost appeared as if leaders were competing with each other to show how much they support Ukraine. In Italy, Zelenskyy was greeted by a military horse-mounted honor guard. In Germany, Chancellor Scholz gave a speech in which he declared "Ukraine is Europe," and then followed by saying "Slava Ukraini" (Glory to Ukraine). Finally, in the UK the PM gave Zelenskyy the kind of bro-hug usually reserved for the closest of personal friends.

Whether one believes the displays were 100% genuine, 100% for show, or something in between, what's relevant is that each government thought it important to publicly express OVERWHELMING commitment to, and support for, Ukraine.

It's also worth noting that the timing was impeccable, as it shores up support just before the anticipated counteroffensive by Ukraine. It puts to rest, at least for the near future, any talk of "Ukraine fatigue" in Europe. And it can't help but be a morale boost for both the Ukrainian military and a hopeful population.

Irrespective of your position on the war, any intellectually honest observer should acknowledge that this was extremely well-played by Zelenskyy.

Meanwhile, in a dreary bunker somewhere, Putin is likely crying in his borscht. At least he won't need to add salt!

Muscovy Foreign Ministry tried to troll by saying that British taxes were being wasted in Ukraine, and got ratioed by Brits saying that it was the best use of taxes they could imagine, and would prefer the government spend more, rather than on stupid domestic programs.

What an own goal, by the losing cowardly, child kidnapping idiots.

Here's a thought experiment for you:

1. You're standing in a bar and the news is on TV. On the news there's a report of some horrifically evil atrocity, such as a young girl being shot in the head by a cold and calculating killer.

2. The guy next to you is visibly outraged at the news report. So much so that he expresses that outrage verbally. You, and others around, can clearly hear his outrage..

Only a real idiot could pull that off.

Just like Putin he simply can't stop.

Putin used to rule the biggest country on the planet and enjoy the friendship of corrupt foreign leaders like Trump, Schroeder and Berlusconi.

Now he rules his bunker and talks to his cronies on Zoom. And drags his unwinnable war to postpone the inevitable.

Questner doesn't have a bunker, but he used to be capable of writing somewhat coherent, if duplicitous posts. That's gone now. He's reduced to pasting hateful, idiotic memes.

Good job!

Berlin, Rome, Paris, and beyond, the free world welcomes Zelenskyy with open arms. Putin, meanwhile, slumps in deep depression in his Fuhrer-bunker, because he's pretty much a prisoner in his own country. As an indicted war criminal, he's at risk of arrest if he sticks his pathetic head out of his pathetic hole.

He can't even attend the upcoming BRICS conference in South Africa. He's been told he can attend via "Zoom call" so that he can avoid the risk of arrest. A Zoom call? How fucking humiliating is that? No wonder he's depressed.

I hear Minsk is nice this time of year. Or maybe he could plan a nice vacation at his master's house in Beijing?

BTW, the thumbs-down verdict of history is already being written about Putin. And even Russian historians will one day use papers about Putin to wipe their asses.

One bomber, one fighter escort, two helicopters, and an estimated 9 aviators eliminated. And reportedly it all happened about 50 km INSIDE Russia. Three possible explanations have been proposed:

1. All four aircraft experienced near-simultaneous catastrophic in-flight systems failure. Highly unlikely, IMO.

2. All four aircraft were shot down by their own forces in a "friendly fire" incident. Possible, but also rather unlikely (IMO). One, maybe, but all FOUR? If Russian air defenses are so incompetent, then Ukraine will hardly need to lift a finger as Russian forces will mostly eliminate themselves.

3. All four aircraft were shot down by Ukraine. Possible methods include: a) Ukrainian Special Forces who successfully infiltrated Russian territory and used some type of MANPAD system; b) Pro-Ukraine partisans using MANPADs; c) Ukrainian forces using ground-based anti-aircraft systems, which would need to be brought close to the border, or into Russia, in order to be effective, or; d) Ukrainian fighters using air-to-air missiles.

One key point not mentioned in the article is that, for all or most of the scenarios listed in #3, Ukraine would likely have needed advance intel about details of the aircrafts' movements. I imagine that could make for some sleepless nights for Russian pilots and crew.

And, as a bonus, at least one (possibly both) of the helicopters reportedly had sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities. If that's true, that's an even more significant loss, one that will be difficult or impossible to replace.

Again, no matter how you slice it, a REALLY bad day for the Russian Air Force.

I would say this is a pretty accurate summary of the war.

And Putin, the REAL Traitor-in-Chief, will be reviled and ridiculed as a dictator who flushed his entire country's future down the toilet. Oh wait, I mean the outhouse, since those are much more common in Russia.
