Who did?

Possibly the Russian generals he has had to sack.

Turn the faucet back on and get you some heat and stop the killing on both sides.

Is there some problem with the annexation I'm failing to comprehend when the people in those regions identify as being in the Russian Federation?

Are you really struggling to understand why a referendum conducted in war-time by the invading force lacks legitimacy?

No actually I'm just watching a pay-per-view event and I know when the fight is over.

a reply to: iamthevirus

Shame Putin doesn't, but read my link.

Seems even he realizes it's all gone a bit Pete Tong.

a reply to: iamthevirus

If you could simply illuminate us all as to how the Russian Federation managed to conduct fair and legal referendums.

Which returned the likes of such ludicrous 96% percentile results.

In provinces that are contested areas and amount to war zones.

And where Putin's forces only hold partial sway that might be nice?

Inquiring minds really want to hear your answer.

It's time to pull your guy out, it's looking silly.

We don't want nothing nasty to happen to our fighter or for our fighter to lose anymore limbs.

A knock out blow is coming of they don't stop poking the bear.

Things can be healed somewhat at this point and we are all not quite living in that fossil free utopia yet so...

Sounding a bit punch drunk yourself now iamthevirus.

If you could address my question in words we can all understand it would be helpful.

I think EU wants the bear grounding and pounding Ukraine so We the West have to step in... but of course we all know what that means.

Ukraine willing to be grounded and pounded is another issue entirely.

a reply to: iamthevirus

The UK is not in the EU anymore?

Didn't read my link, then?

Well I don't drink, never have... think I been drunk two times in my life, I got sick and felt like I was falling when I closed my eyes it was terrible.

I like to speak in metaphor a lot, it's efficient...

What vested interest do you have in said annexed areas anyway?

Not a drop of diesel to be found in France, people getting ready to freeze to death and the EU won't let it go to diplomacy?

Smashing but if you could simply answer the question pertinent to the thread that would indeed be nice.

If you could stick to the point it may be even more effective, so there is that.

The reason for the diesel shortages in France is down to union strikes not Putin or Russia.

As to the people getting ready to freeze to death, possibly on the Russian front.

a reply to: iamthevirus

As has previously been pointed out, the diesel shortagein France is due to strikes at their refineries.

Nothing to do with Russia or LNG.

The term "Punch Drunk" is a boxing term, nothing to do with alcohol.

Thought you'd know that, what with your superior command of the English language and all?

Ahh I see, I guess that reference to drunk just brought back memories.

That second time was at a Lacuna Coil / Devil Driver concert, got all lit and was pumped from the pit, came time to head to the car and I realized how lit I was staggering and whatnot. I was approached by a cop cause I was looking for my car which I was very close to and I thought he was harassing me.

I started pointing to the car and saying "right fu##ing there man that's my car" something transpired and he asked me to turn around and I gave him sh#t so I ended up getting my ass beat! He kicked my ass so hard I ended up face down in the mud with a club stick pressed into the back of my neck like some kung-fu sh#t, I couldn't move and he got the cuffs on me.

The whole way to jail in the back of the cruiser I was like buddy I'm gonna kick your ass! You know how much money I make you motherfu##er! you piece of shyte!

Needless to say the next morning my clothes were all sparkly clean and they gave me a sandwich when they threw me in the cell which made me feel so much better... come morning I was thanking everyone.

See he wasn't going to let me drive and I didn't realize that at the time, that dude kicked my ass hardcore basically to save my life.

a reply to: iamthevirus

So are you ever going to endeavor to tell us all how Putin's referendums in the occupied Ukrainian territories were anything but a sham?

Or are you just going to dance and prance around all evening illuminating us as to the follies of your youth?

Again enquiring minds want to know exactly how you account for such a perversion of the will of the people and Putin's ilks antics aka 96 percent approval ratings being in any way kosher or on the level.

a reply to: andy06shake

Sham? All I see was official governmental annexations, if that was theatre to you so be it.

Watch out for that Wild Turkey 101, danger danger!

a reply to: iamthevirus

"Official"? Which "governmental annexations"?

Russia's?

The rest of the free World doesn't accept these bogus annexations.

You still claiming to be "neutral"?!!?!!!!

a reply to: iamthevirus

Sham?

Sham: A thing that is not what it is purported to be.
adjective: bogus, false.
verb: falsely present something as the truth.

All I see was official governmental annexations, if that was theatre to you so be it.

Not just me but also the majority of the rest of the civilized world including your own nation that thinks Putins referendum was completely fake and bogus.

Watch out for that Wild Turkey 101, danger danger!

You sound more like Dr. Smith as opposed to the robot.

And for someone that apparently doesn't drink you sure do talk a lot of #.

Until Putin gets the itch to invade some other non-threatening neighbour in another attempt to expand his Greater Russia, because that's what paranoid, egotistical dictators do.....plenty of evidence of that throughout human history.

Well I don't drink, never have...

Hmm....I think some people on here know what I think about that.
But each to their own.👍

Not a drop of diesel to be found in France,.....

Damned Pikey's, they get everywhere!

....people getting ready to freeze to death.....

I don't think so....I certainly hope not.

.... and the EU won't let it go to diplomacy?

As has been pointed out before; its got # all to do with the EU.
The Ukrainian people aren't exactly screaming for peace negotiations.

And to be fair, Macron has tried more than most to broker talks between the two sides.

.... that dude kicked my ass hardcore basically to save my life.

Not all coppers are bastards.

All I see was official governmental annexations,....

Now I KNOW you're just trying wind people up, you're quite clearly far too clever to actually believe that bollocks.

I'd raise a glass to you....but in light of your sobriety I'll just settle for a thumbs up.👍
