And that one bloke he met said something a bit rash about direct intervention- this guy is apparently pro-nuclear war. If Putin launches a nuke on the basis of that, then I'm not sure talking peace with him is going to be all that easy either.

Oh he's vile he's part of the American left that's infatuated with Putin.

Indeed. His feet were tied, as shown:

Technically and for a month or two, either way, it's always the same with that lot.

Putin forcibly relocating abducted Ukrainians out to Siberia and even further east.

Ethnic cleansing and genocide, cut and dry. And Magic Grandad thinks all this will be stopped with a peaceful sit-in down Conway Hall.

Just watching some of Clive Myrie's special report from Ukraine. Looks like some posh cameras have been taken out there; that distracts me from the horror of what has happened.

He's done a long stint out there, he looks like he hasn't slept in weeks either.

On a slightly lighter side (if it's possible), Australian YouTube comedian/commentator Ozzy Man gives his take on some clips related to the invasion of Ukraine - a nice touch referring to the Russian Embassy in Dublin incident as a "Special Parking Operation" while I'm assuming the guy at 0:59 has had his massive balls digitally edited out in post production. :o
