What Paddy said in 1st sentence. Easy to take a balanced view when you are not involved but imagine what it's like when you are. Must be hard not to be consumed by hatred and do some awful things in these situations. Of course such things should be banned by international law but prosecutions should take full account of what the perpetrators have gone through.

Russia as you say are organising the abuse, the Ukrainian doctor may be doing this out of hate.
We of course are not entirely innocent.

I can totally imagine it being said in anger/frustration. Much like a person saying "I'm going to kill that little tulip who kicked a football through my window". They don't expect to be taken literally but in the heat of the moment, taken out of context, or just heard by a person with an axe to grind and it all gets blown out of proportion.Comment

I can't tell whether OH supports the invasion, or not, but he does appear to believe that Putin was justified to some extent. I'm just not sure how big the "some" actually is.
When Machiavelli wrote his book The Prince, his advice to rulers on statecraft, he expressly said in the preface words to the effect "Most of this advice is not moral, or just. It is not what you _should_ do, to be virtuous, but what you _must_ do for your state to prosper or even survive."
One can't always judge state morality by the same criteria as personal morality, as some round here seem to believe or so desperately want to. It doesn't work like that.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostBut I do think he was to some extent practically justified, due to recent US plotting in Ukraine for years, and Ukraine's misguided acceptance of this (which they had every right to do, and maybe couldn't realistically avoid - I really don't know).
Without getting inside his head, we'll never really know his actual motivation for invading Ukraine, because we can't take anything he says at face value.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
