Discussion about Russian invasion of Ukraine

putin blocked facebook instagram tiktok and twitter in the russian country …

I was listening to a talk radio show from the UK and a Woman called the radio station to say she was born in Moscow but now lives in Wales. She said she has family still living in Moscow and none of her own family will believe her. They believe the Russian media and accused her of lies. They even said she is crazy. This is her own family!!! Think about that for a moment.

Obviously she is not crazy but if only people in Russia knew the real truth.

One of my friends Joanna is the managing director for TikTok in Poland and they had an international meeting this morning to put in filters to filter out all the crap and also to block all Russian content from the platform as they have been getting criticism lately over the amount of crap on the service. Which is quite significant being a Chinese company, but I guess they are protecting their business interests and it’s not really a political statement.

in Russia everything is blacked out because of putin…

how ugly to live like that cazzo always commands putin but for that they do not k__l him …

Yes I bet this is a real bitter sweet pill for China. They don’t want to upset Russia or the West. The only thing China has not done (for obvious reasons) is not show support for Ukraine or publicly criticize Russia. As usual all they are thinking about is money. I don’t know about the rest of you but I put China on the same trust level as Russia… Zero.

But I have to agree on the significance at this move being a Chinese company. Probably because there are more users in the West and yet again China wants to protect its financial interests with the West. I think China is actually sitting back and watching this like the rest of the World but saying nothing because they want to see how this plays out. If M____r Russia fails China will have a re-think and as money matters so much to them their allegiance will be affected.

@ andre85 Yes I agree 100%. I think when life becomes really difficult for Russian people they will question if this is all worth it. The West has imposed the most extreme sanctions ever and with more sanctions to come it is fair to say Russia will return to the cold war era lifestyle which will involve more impoverished citizens like it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Putin has said this evening that if the West cuts off all Oil and Gas supplies to Europe he will make Europe suffer. Really? I can’t see how because as the whole World (except a handful of countries) moves to totally isolate Russia I think it is fair to say Russia has lost ‘‘A LOT’’ of friends.

I heard on the Business News that people in the US are renting houses in Poland and other countries nearby via Airbnb.org
for the refugees to use temporarily.

Before I go tonight, like Sting once wrote in the 80’s… ‘‘I Hope The Russians Love Their C___dren Too’’. Good night to you all. Be thankful for what you have guys and God Bless Ukraine. I will leave you with this video.

Take Care :heart:

Lyrics Below…

In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, “We will bury you”
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
It’d be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their c___dren too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their c___dren too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There’s no such thing as a winnable war
It’s a lie we don’t believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, “We will protect you”
I don’t subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their c___dren too

We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
But what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their c___dren too

Many countries are doing this not just the US.

There are so many projects going on in Poland at the moment and here is an example plus there are so many Facebook groups doing the same:

I subscribe to John Sweeney on Twitter, a quite famous British reporter who lives in Kyiv and is stuck there. And he has a message to all and Putin especially. :smile:
