    Indeed, Putin does have a special following of emotional fanboys; it's probably his shirtless horseback riding.
    Where do you get the idea I'm a Putin fan?

    When emotion comes through the door, all logic flies out of the window!

      GBeebies is still going strong, as is Fox. Their presenters are still producing the output. As are all the little groups on Telegram, etc.

        Logic: surrender to the mightier country
        Emotion: I don't want to.

        As for the idea that you are what you are, we can only base that on what you post.

          Just found out the Russian Embassy in the UK are doing a job on tweeting manure. Now I know what certain posters are reading.

            Nice whataboutery.

            So with no evidence that is what the Ukranians are doing, you are believing everything you hear from the Russian controlled media? You have issues fella.

              It's amazing how gullible and naive people become once emotion takes over.

              Does anyone really believe Zelensky & co won't try every trick in the book to garner sympathy and help, or is his elevation to sainthood already complete?
              You can keep saying it, it doesn't make it true. When you are being invaded by a nation who is deliberately bombing civilians, what exactly has Zelensky done that's dirty?

                This is what idiots like Owlhoots can't seem to grasp ... they can't understand that Ukraine is an independent country, and they have every right to defend themselves. And the only country at fault here is Russia (and Belarus I guess). Somehow they get the narrative in their head that because Ukraine is full of foreigners, that they have no right to defend themselves.

                Very strange mindset.

                  Of course bombing residential areas is in itself counter to all civilised "rules of war" but to deliberately target a hospital is a special kind of awful.

                    Perhaps it's all the "two sides to every story" false equivalence bollocks.
