Navalny dead.

It’s not a proxy war.

Putin invaded Ukraine, nobody forced him

The Ukraine war started in 2014.
Claiming it started with Putin's invasion, is like claiming the Palestine/Israel conflict began on October 7th.

We've been over this before.

Who Invaded who?

Again; it all depends which side of the line you are - Russian seperatists didn't want to live with a Ukrainian dominated government - same for those ethnic Russians living in Transnistria-Moldova. They called for Moscow to help.

Putin is a brutal Imperialist dictator

A very popular brutal dictator.
He probably has more legitimacy as a political leader than Rishi Sunak and his clowns.

If you are russian but living abroad and don't like it, it doesn't mean there should be an invasion to make it Russian

Putins intervention in Ukraine was on Humanitarian grounds.
The Ukranian army had been killing people in Eastern Ukraine for years,while the EU and others turned a blind eye.

We're not talking about Russians in Germany. The border is intermingled with both nationalities and in the case of the breakaway republics, more Russians live there - democracy in action.

Hmm.
That opens up a big can of worms.

If enough brits live in xyz then, we can go to war and claim it as ours?

The Falklands ring a bell?

The Falklands ring a bell?

Of all the countries to have a claim via residency, Argentina is well down the list.

The Ukranian army had been killing people in Eastern Ukraine for years,while the EU and others turned a blind eye.

There had been incidents where security and/or police had to deal with armed insurgents and other threats to the Ukrainian population.

 

[old duffer]

IDF boys in court today in Cypress for raping a young British woman...wonder if these brave boys who kill babies are from the UK themselves?

It's a can of worms.

Ignoring empire etc, what logic says Falklands should belong to Britain.

Whilst the residents have a free vote and want to be British then they have the right to be defended.

But do they actually have the right to be there originally ?

Defence is different to attack of course, too
