NEW PODCAST
Listen to Tanya Shelepko in Ukraine talk about the indescriminate bombings of her fellow countrymen and women.
The war is happening.
Not sure many people use the Forum on this website, but here goes.... what do people actually think is happening in Ukraine and what is the conspiracy behind the war/it's reasons/our actions..etc etc...Thanks!
What conspiracy are you referring to?
The reason behind it is that a nasty bloke called Putin decided to go on a killing spree and try to annex the country of Ukraine.
He's had to reduce his aims to the Donbass region, but that still involves lots more murder and generally reducing the place to rubble.
You'll find many on this site, who will tell you it's all NATO's fault.
They have taught each other this line of reasoning amongst others, but it's really based on the principle of opposing anything that western governments and media says. The subject doesn't matter it's what they do.
I just don't flippin' know, other than not to trust anybody.
It's exhausting.
TalkRadio, Julia HB, Allison Pearson, Uncle Tom Cobley etc i.e normally the trustworthy ones roll their eyes in exasperation at those who think the Bucha massacre didn't happen, that Zelenskyy isn't Joan of Arc and Putin isn't the AntiChrist. In other words, we're falling for Russian propaganda. "What does it take to convince you??"
Other voices say we are getting Western propaganda; it's all too one-sided, what's in it for Russia, etc etc.
There seems to be mass population displacement, Kiev (sorry - I'm too used to spelling it that way...) appears almost razed to the ground, and RealNormal pod has interviewed a citizen and we have her testimony so I'm completely confused.
What I want to know is why it matters whether I believe it or not. My taxes are funding our contribution to the weaponry whether I like it or not. Why do I have to believe? Won't it work if I don't give Ukraine my blessing?
that Zelenskyy isn't Joan of Arc and Putin isn't the AntiChrist
Zelensky is the new Mother Theresa, while Putin is Mick McManus, the wrestler Britons loved to hate, and those are the primary colours used to depict this war by British reporters.
Your obsession with believing the opposite of what's broadcast and published is letting you down.
@tree
No doubt you mean well but your observation is a matter of indifference to me.
I'll continue to reserve judgement on news items until enough facts emerge to form an opinion.
@jane-g Hi Jane. FYI I interviewed Tanya on Friday morning. She's a mutual friend and has no reason to lie about any of the things she's seen. Her latest interview is harrowing. Disturbing...and sadly true.
BUT!
We've got some great guests coming on soon! an expect in Russian culture and fluent Russian speaker. Dr Nicola Ridgeway is coming back on. Also Dr Gary Sidley is hopefully going to make an appearance.
All the best,
Lord R!
