and what "fueds" in Africa are you talking about? Name the countries that are fighting each other.

Russia has attacked, without provocation, an independent country. Because of that, democratic countries around the world have condemned the act and have levied sanctions against russia. Have you noticed what countries have voiced support for russia? Hint, they aren't true democracy's.

The trucker temper tantrum may have started out as a "peaceful" protest, but it didn't end up that way. It ended up an illegal occupation of Ottawa, and a number of border crossings. The support it ended up having among Canadians was underwhelming to say the least.


That goes without saying.

Don't be so lazy. Look them up yourself on the internet. Even the UN has said that they cannot end the wars in

Don't be so gawd dam lazy. Look it up on the internet yourself like I did. Even the UN has said that they will never be able to stop the wars in the Arab world.

I believe that Putin believed that if NATO were able to get Ukraine to become a part of NATO, then I could see why Putin did not want that to happen. Putin did not want Ukraine to become a part of NATO, and have Ukraine sitting on Russia's doorstep, and then be able to become a real threat to Russia. It's common knowledge that the west wants to see Putin gone. Rumor had if that the democrats have been wanting a war with Russia for a very long time now. This is big time politics that you and me will be surely left out of. We are just but small fry's in this feud going on between Russia and Ukraine and NATO.

The truckers convoy did start out as a peaceful protest and it was their right to do so. The truckers broke no laws by protesting legally. The temper tantrums were started by your dear political Marxist leaders who violated their rights to their peaceful assembly. This was all about fighting to try regain back our rights and freedoms that were stolen from us thanks to the covid lie and hoax. For anyone to dare say that the truckers were being terrorists is a bloody liar. And anyone against them has to be a Marxist sympatizer and supporter who does not believe that anyone has the right to protest peacefully in Canada. Why else would anyone want to say and call the truckers bad names. Just saying. :cool:

We all can see why Russia/Putin didn't want Ukraine to join Europe or NATO, but now we have proof positive why the Ukrainian people were fighting tooth and nail to join both. And why Russian propaganda went overtime, Maidan was portrayed as US sanctioned revolution against Ukraine and her interest

Indeed, I did hear that Putin could move into Moldavia. We must only wait and see if Putin does invade Moldavia. I am pretty sure though that NATO would like to get Moldavia into NATO. Now that would really piss of Putin. Aw well, what the phuk do we know, eh? We are only but just tiny farts in an hurricane, and we are always kept and left out standing outside the meeting door, and waiting for little tidbits to be thrown at us. :rolleyes:

IMO Europe and NATO need to step up and get more aggressive to help save Ukraine the weather is right to keep the Russian forces to hard roads and not move into open fields, push them back to Moscow and end the threat for decades to come.

Otherwise there will be a mass exodus from Ukraine unseen since the beginning of the 21st century

One of the things being least reported are minorities from Africa and India being prevented from leaving or having issues at the border trying to leave.

I'm all for Ukraine standing up and fighting, but if these foreign people want to GTFO, they should be allowed to, especially students who are going to school but stuck there now.

That is an issue with the receiving country is it not?

Is anyone else feeling just a little repulsed by this, by these insinuations of racism being made against Ukrainians and Poles as they try their damndest to deal with one of the worst crises of recent times? It goes without saying that everyone who wants to flee Ukraine for the safety of a neighbouring nation should have the right to do so, regardless of their national origin or their skin colour. But we need to maintain some scepticism about the idea that it is flat-out racism that has allegedly made the experience of exodus harder for African-heritage people. In the fog of war, it is always difficult to know what is going on. Jumping to the conclusion that Ukrainians are behaving with ‘bloodshot racism’ strikes me as far too kneejerk and definitive, not to mention being potentially, and ironically, an expression of its own form of prejudice. After all, among the Western European chattering classes there has long been a chauvinistic view of Slavic people as racist and regressive, as insufficiently woke, as not quite as au fait as us with the correct lingo and attitudes. Is that what’s happening here?
What’s more, Poland has denied that it is exercising any kind of racial test at the border. A spokesman for the Polish PM said the Western European media are ‘spreading misinformation’: ‘Refugees fleeing war-stricken Ukraine are entering Poland regardless of their nationality.’ In Ukraine itself, it seems possible that Ukrainian citizens have been prioritised in certain circumstances, but is that racism or simply the Ukrainian state doing what many other states do when okaying people for urgent assistance? The Independent reports that one Nigerian-heritage person in Ukraine was told by Ukrainian military personnel that ‘No English, no Polish, no blacks’ would be offered help to leave. Not only does this seem like a neatly unlikely thing for an official to have said – it also suggests, if true, that citizenship rather than race has been the main potential factor in the Ukrainian authorities’ difficult, hectic decision-making about who gets a seat on the first trains out of the country. After all, English people and Poles are white. How about a #PolishLivesMatter hashtag? How about a defence of the ‘oppressed’ English?

What is happening here is that some Western journalists and activists – what’s the difference these days? – are projecting their Western-centric, navel-gazing and woke politics of race on to a situation that is far more complicated than that. How can they live with themselves, is what I want to know. ‘What did you do during the great Russo-Ukrainian War, mummy?’ ‘I implied that Ukrainians are racist shits, sweetheart.’ Well done. The woke Westerners who seem to imply that Ukrainian officials are anti-black and anti-African are unwittingly playing into Putin’s hands. They are potentially contributing to his claim that Ukraine is a hotbed of regression and ‘fascism’.
More importantly, this growing focus on Ukrainian and Polish ‘racism’, on the privilege allegedly enjoyed by white Ukrainians, confirms that wokeness is the implacable foe of solidarity. We are just four days into this horror and already the identitarian set in the West is projecting its eccentric, self-obsessed narrative on to a bloody and confusing warzone. The Ukraine crisis just doesn’t compute in the racial hierarchy constructed by the woke West, in which black people are always victims and white people are always privileged. And so these people have actively sought out alleged instances of anti-blackness in order that they might more readily relate to this crisis. In the process, they have likely exaggerated the problem of anti-African prejudice in the exodus, demonised white Ukrainians as prejudiced, and torpedoed Western solidarity with Ukraine by raising the possibility that this is a nation of white privilege and fascistic sensibilities. Putin, I bet, is chuckling.
