" the deaths of 70,000 innocent people"

Again, (and I know you want to pretend its not true), at least half of those people were Hamas soldiers. At least half.

There was a story t'other day about one of the Israeli hostages who managed to escape his Hamas captors. He was nabbed by Gazan civilians who promptly turned him back over to Hamas. Tell me again about all those innocent Gazans.

We all remember the footage of the baying Gazan mobs on and after 7 October 2023, mobs that included these so-called innocent women and children, cheering and celebrating as captured hostages (dead and alive) were paraded through the streets of Gazan cities. They only miraculously became 'innocent' when the 'Find Out' part of FAFO (f$$k Around, find out) fell upon them.

Also, and I know you want to pretend this isn't true, but the 70,000 figure is from Hamas and isn't verified or verifiable. But was is known is that there are more Gazans alive today than there were in 2023. So much for the antisemitic claims of 'genocide'.

Hi Trumpster,

You do a great job of repeating what the Zionist-Nazi Propaganda Department want you to say.

There was no 70,000 killed, no one was killed, all those children that were killed were terrorists. Everything you put up is Zionist-Nazi propaganda.

Unlike ttbn who was cheering the actions of the disgusting minister, YOU say nothing.

So that's the choice, is it Paul? 70000 killed as per Hamas or none killed?

No middle ground in Paul-land?

We'll never know how many died in Gaza since 7/10/23. But what we do know is that, whatever the number, most were Hamas warriors and most of the rest were being used by Hamas warriors as human shields. That you don't want that to be true or mentioned, doesn't mean its not correct.

Hi AC,

Solovyov has been making such threats for years, turning Britain into a nuclear wasteland and such like. It's all guff directed at the angry grandpas. The more guff you hear, the grimmer it is for Russia in Ukraine.

" the grimmer it is for Russia in Ukraine."

The joke that Russia started the war with the general view being that they had the second best army in the world and currently we know they have the second best army in Ukraine, is increasingly true.

The Russian advance is effectively stalled even as their casualty toll continues to rise. Currently Russia holds around 19% of Ukrainian land (including Crimea) which is only marginally higher than the 17.5% they held three years ago and way less than the 26% they held shortly after the invasion. So in three years they've managed to gain around 1.5% of the country (mostly empty fields and small villages) at the cost of 1 million casualties.

There's another joke that the Russians are progressing at a snail's pace although in three years a snail would have travelled further than the Russian army.

All this as Ukraine improves its drone arsenal and now hits targets well inside Russia at will. The Kremlin even had to declare a ceasefire for the Victory Day parade to stop it being attacked and they couldn't even muster up enough tanks to make that parade the spectacle it used to be.

Meanwhile, most of Europe have now bowed to Trump pressure and are vowing to increase military spending with some like Poland and Sweden making significant progress in that regard.

Apart from its nukes and the unpredictability of its leadership, Russia is no longer a conventional threat to Europe. Increasingly it is becoming a vassal state to China and its only a matter of time before Peking starts to make demands that the land ceded to Russia during the period of the so-called 'Unequal Treaties' be returned.

Putin's decision to invade Ukraine in 2022 was probably the stupidest so far this century, rivaled only by Iran's decision to sanction the Hamas invasion of Israel in 2023.

Hi Fester,
There's this situation going on with the long range drone attacks from Latvia which is becoming a serious issue for Russia. They keep pushing red lines saying Putin's bluffing, and it's forcing Russia into a situation where it might have to launch a more serious attack on Kiev and also attack NATO bases in Baltic countries.
