I'll give you a point here Faust. My despise for russia didnt begin in febraury of 2022, so in a way, I've gotten a lot of my beliefs verified since then.

And since you have a questionable history with definitions, let me help you.

Despise = feel contempt or a deep repugnance for.

I feel you, and we're all suffering higher prices on electricity and fuel/transport, but it's not killing you.

This war is actually killing Ukrainians daily, and I consider these increased costs a small price to pay, so we won't have to use rubles as currency in 10 years.

Fuck every company hiking their prices just because they can though.
Tons of examples in Scandinavia of companies riding the increased inflation, especially within big-food/groceries.

We are all in this together! It is a small price to pay for FREEDOM I’d say. The bus can be 100$, if that hurts or irritates Putin, does that not make it worth it?
You can always take the bike, but Putin can never take our freedom. Remember that.

He (d) likely doesn't appreciate the fact that someone can sit in Miami and post like he does, with a fairly high degree of freedom.

Flip his views to pro UA and make him post from Moscow, and we'd likely not see him after a week.

I would expect him to take a slightly more nuanced and neutral stance when posting, but he's obviously 95% pro russian at this point.

I'm all for healthy skepticism and arguing both sides of the table, it's where all productive discussion flourish, but he's not really a good example of this from what I've seen since late february.

What did I say to make you talk about freedom? And why would even think that I’m taking freedom for granted?
Also where did the rest 5% went to, Doc?

As for the Ukrainian violations I'm surprised it's only two. I wonder what will come of that group of Russians executed on that road.

I think it is the only ones they really could not ignore. I think the ones on the road is one of the two. But at least it appears impartial this way.

Anyway I understand (not really condone but really understand) war crimes committed against invading forces, but I don’t like the war crimes where soldiers use human shields. Not anti-Ukraine but just in general. I hope after all is said and done, some rules regarding this become more public

I have to give it to these women who go out to fight, and in full make up. lol I can't even be bothered to put on mascara to pick up groceries.

Merry Christmas again, boys.
