We all know this a parody account, worked by at least 3 of the Uberati, not really the time or place though, perhaps the MODS could have a chat?.

Careful, you’ll have your collar felt for ‘faux outrage’

I am not supporting Swansman's point of view in any way, but I don't think he has broken any rules about the way debates are conducted on NSC. There's always the Ignore function
I'm sure if he did, the mods would take the correct action, they normally do

I take your point, but he's entertaining in a 'Look at me, look at me, look at how intellectual I am !' kind of way. He's needy.

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy is addressing all citizens of the world, friends of Ukraine, peace and democracy. Anyone who wants to join the defence of Ukraine, Europe and the world can come and fight side by side with the Ukrainians against the Russian war criminals.”
A separate subdivision is being formed of foreigners entitled the International Legion for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine. There is no greater contribution which you can make for the sake of peace.”

Now I get your point, the Beeb are talking of a call to arms for foreign fighters from the Ukrainian president. Anyone that goes for this would be heroic or mad, or both maybe!
Both I’d say and seeing the numbers of western fighters supporting the Kurds in their battles I think there will be a big uptake!

A Ukrainian company in charge of building and maintaining roads said it was removing all road signs that could be used by invading Russian forces to find their way around the country. The company, Ukravtodor, said in a Facebook post: “The enemy has poor communications, they cannot navigate the terrain. Let us help them get straight to hell.”

Zelensky: We will not talk to Russia in Belarus - BBC.
'Russia says a delegation has arrived in Belarus - ostensibly for talks with Ukraine.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has rejected the offer, saying talks in Minsk could have been possible if Russia had not attacked Ukraine from Belarusian territory.
However, he is leaving the door open to negotiations in other locations.
He said: "If there had been no aggressive action from your territory, we could talk in Minsk... other cities can be used as the venue for talks.
"Of course we want peace, we want to meet, we want the war to end. Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku - we've offered them to the Russians.
"Any other city would suit us, too - in a country, from whose territory missiles are not launched at us. This is the only way negotiations can be honest and can really end the war."
So this morning, he's announced a foreign legion, and is dictating the terms of the peace. All before breakfast.

I wonder if theres any chance that this could be used as a ruse to get some NATO special forces on the ground in Ukraine? Similar to what the Russians did with the 'separatists' in Eastern Ukraine.

The ignore function does not have its intended effect when he sends a thread down a rabbit hole for several pages.

If I and others wish to express our frustration about the presence on this thread of an attention seeking conspiracy theorist then we will. Perhaps if you don’t want to read it then put us all on ignore ?

The best way to not let a thread be derailed if you don't want it derailed is to not reply to a derailing post. I continue to find this thread easy to read and useful.
Provided you don't mind contributing to the thread derailment then I don't mind. But I thought that.....oh, never mind.

Did anyone catch this on the BBC? Russians getting a taste of their own medicine
Kremlin website down for several hours
Six Russian government websites are currently down, according to the Kyiv Independent.
That list reportedly includes the official sites of the Kremlin and Russia's media regulatory agency.
The outlet attributed its reporting to sources at Ukraine's state telecommunications agency.
State TV channels have also been “hacked to play Ukrainian songs", it says.
The Anonymous hacking collective has taken credit for the attacks, but this has not been independently confirmed.

Lots of European politicians back tracking on their previous support for Putin, the likes of Le Pen, Salvini, Milos, even Orban.....

But there is a character here who isn't and another across the pond, few surprises...

Silly old bat
Missiles have been fired from Belarus so Zelensky is right to refuse to go there.

I can fully understand this, there are probably thousands of Eastern Europeans with some military service/national service who feel strongly enough to fight against the Russians. There are no shortages of volunteers in Ukraine but every man counts. It's only total opposition to the invasion that can save Ukraine from occupation and the domino effect of invasion of adjacent countries.
There was a heartfelt appeal by a Ukrainian lady MP ( or equivalent ) saying they needed all the help they could get " This fight is your fight, Ukrainians are fighting a war that you will have to fight next "
