Fucking traitors. -_-

To be fair, I thinks it is more of a show, set up by Russia in a way to counteract news of volunteers joining Ukraine in it's fight. Probably mostly fake registration so that the Kremlin may claim they are being supported by other country and this war isn't only caused by the whims of a despotic tyrant.

If even Belarussian resist this much to join Russia in Ukraine why the hell would Syrian joins?

For money. That's why many Africans also want to fight for Russia. If you are already from a country where fighting is/was part of your life why not for some hundred bucks a day if you are from a country where you would have to work for years to get what you can get in some weeks of fighting in Ukraine?

That's obviously not how I think but many probably do. Many want to fight for Ukraine just for the cause so that there will be obviously even more on this planet who want to fight for money. 

I still find it interesting how Russia wants to send people from different countries to Ukraine to fight there but USA/EU are afraid to support Ukraine with better weaponry just to defend their own country from people who are on their ground..."we" are afraid of starting a Third World War just with helping a country's defense with stronger weapons while the other side just doesn't give a shit about anything.

That's a good sign if Kyiv is considered safe enough for freaking PM's to visit. I wonder if it's a ceasefire in the area, a designated safe corridor, or if Ukraine just has that much control over the whole city again.

Technically wouldn't meet the definition of traitor/treason as Syrian have sworn allegiance to neither Ukraine or Russia.

The "mayor" illegally installed by Russia in occupied Melitopol; she is an example of a traitor in this conflict.

I guess we should be glad Orban isn’t supporting Russia. He’s been a big Putin supporter until March 2. He’s up for re-election this year. He was born after Soviet tanks rolled through Budapest in 1956.



History repeating, Battleship Potemkin

It would be nice if history actually repeated itself and the crews on the Russian battleships refuse to fight.

So much for not targeting civilians...

I am amazed at the disparity in competence between Ukrainian and Russian forces in this conflict.

Now that is a legitimate example of a "special military operation" and great news if true. Now want the illegally installed replacement charged with treason.

Also, obviously Russia wouldn't apply it in their borders, but imagine fi they tried to apply that trademark in the West. They'd be laughed at as its so cleanly the McDonalds M on its side.
