two sides to a story.
if i was an ordinary Russian i wouldn't people next door to me potentially pointing Nuclear Missiles at me? (Cuban Missile crisis anyone) ?
and also if i was an ordinary Russian would be thinking who the hell do the Yanks think they are to tell us about throwing our military weight about?
also story's about Russians living in the Ukraine being discriminated against?
also Politically the Ukraine have had corruption problems and use hitmen to take out political enemy's, just like Russia?
Andy, just to clear up an apparent misunderstanding in your post, Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons in 1994 in an agreement whereby NATO promised to come to their defence if they were ever threatened with invasion.
Also, in terms of the Russian people, there are mass protests throughout Russia against Putin's actions, so they would not appear to be in favour on this war.
Dear Andy D whoever you are? I'm watching the news day after day now with tears welling up in my eyes. I also watch RT TV but can't stand much of the blatant lies and propaganda from the Russian regime. Not sure how you can add support to the brutal Russian regime which is committing war crimes as we speak. Thermobaric missiles fired indiscriminately (effectively mini nuclear missiles), families massacred, residential areas cluster bombed. Anyone who has seen my historic posts will know that sometimes I wear my heart on my sleeve and therefore I can't let your support for the gangster Putin go unanswered.

I have no affiliations to the Ukraine I am just a decent UK 'Sandgrown' citizen who is appalled by Putin and his henchmen and what amounts to mass murder! Keith you appear to be the only active moderator on this forum so please ban me immediately if you feel I have gone OTT! My support for the club will never diminish but my support of this forum which I love may end this evening!
