AC seems to be running for cover by playing the fool.

So let's make it easy for him. Does CURRENT Ukrainian law ban the Russian language? Remember I have access to the actual law,....as do you although actual data seems immaterial to you.

I wonder what would happen if a Russian drone were to zigzag above the Gulf of Mexico ?

Oh what really?
- you have a computer?
- with the 'internet' too?
Oh gee whizz that's amazing.
I wish everyone could have one of those things.
I've always dreamt of trying one out.

- If Russian is banned from all government and public institutions then how do those people get any kind of representation or help when dealing with any of them?

"Remember I have access to the actual law"
Wow, you must be very proficient with these new computer gadget thingys...

- So did you read the section that states all Ukrainian citizens have a duty to learn the Ukrainian language and have 12 months to do so?
- I told you numbnut, I've read it too, the 2019 dated version.
They may have had much harsher law changes relating to language in 2014 after the Maidan,
- And their aspirations to join the EU forced them to wind it back, I'm not sure.

You want to know what makes me sad today?
It's not the hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded military in Banderastan. (on both sides)
- Or even the innocent people forced to live and die under the bombs.

It's the price everyone else on the planet has had to pay for this mess.

Businesses shutting their doors because they can't afford the electricity bills,
Mum and Dad business that busted their asses for years to build something,
People who've lost their jobs and livelihoods,
People who've lost their homes they struggled to get,
People freezing in the winters.
People in third world countries driven to starvation,
Kid's that were forced to go without,
Old people dropping off because they can't afford to run the air conditioners.
Whole economies destroyed.
People driven to dispair.

- All of which are the follow on effects of this stupid damn war -

All because the US neocons love to go and screw with other peoples countries.
Conducting coloured revolutions and using sanctions
Using money and trade as weapons of war.
Blowing up energy pipelines - which were peoples lifelines.
(all to bolster their own failing economy)

US Sanctions against Russia have prompted a western banking exodus.

Saudi Arabia has said the if US uses price caps upon them, they will stop oil supplies to them.

"I wonder what would happen if a Russian drone were to zigzag above the Gulf of Mexico ?"

OR, still to be confirmed a European weather balloon over Alaska!

The distance from Istanbul to Moscow is about 2300km, about 500km more than the distance from Havana to Washington.

Who went "apeshit" and threatened WWIII, when the communists wanted to put nuclear missiles in Cuba, pointing them at America, after the Americans had already put nuclear missiles in Turkey, pointing them at Russia?

Who tried to "invade" Cuba with a band of ex-criminals. That was one of Americas best. Here's another;

I didn't know that the Russian language had been banned in Ukraine - probably because I'm not that interested; but I couldn't help hearing in the MSM news that the little dictator has closed down Christian worship in what is left of Ukraine. It's own Orthodox religion is not to be practised. Religion gets a better go in Russia. Even Putin gives it lip service.

I understand that this thread keeps limping on because nothing new is happening, but no matter what you think of Russia, try to remember that Russia is defending its border against not only Ukraine but now, quite obviously, the West which is aiding corrupt Ukraine which Putin called 'Nazi' for its activities during WW11. Apart from providing troops to the Reich, it also provided some of the very worst of guards for Nazi concentration camps.

Ukraine is not deserving of anyone’s sympathy, nor military aid - particularly Australia's aid when we can't defend ourselves.
