there were multiple countries in favor of excluding russia from SWIFT as part of the sanctions and who blocked it? germany and its social democrat chancellor

Calling for child soldiers to be drafted from the unarmed civilian populace. Of all the most disturbing things my grandfather saw advancing into germany, he always said that was the worst, the last line of german defense.

Ukraine is going to lose this war and they're going about it the bitter way. This isn't russian propaganda making claims, its the Ukrainian military itself. And on twitter. I imagine in weeks monts and years to come, there will be questions about how twitter was used as a tool to draft child soldiers to die throwing molotovs at russian tanks in such a futile last effort of a hopeless regime.

You're a buffoon who can't admit even the most basic and obvious of realities

Occupying Ukraine long-term would be worse than the US occupation of Iraq was long-term, and Russia doesn't have the advantage of the infinitely printed petrodollar to fund it

Already been clarified that he means over 60's hasn't it?

I've read that Ukraine has closed its borders to all men aged 18 to 60 and is drafting all of them to sacrifice their lives in a pointless, unwinnable fight.

No such statement or clarification or backtrack. Its just a call for child soldiers to throw molotovs at T90s and T72s

Ukraine army recruiting over-60s as Kyiv braces

Earlier we reported that the Ukrainian Defence Force, in a tweet, had issued a call for civilian recruits, regardless of age.

The statement from the commander of troops had said: "No age restrictions" - indicating that minors might be allowed too.

However, a new statement from the Defence Minister Alexey Reznikov appears to clarify that the loosening in age restrictions refers to people over 60. It made no mention of minors.

"I decided, in agreement with the Commander of the Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine... to involve in the Troops of the Patriots [those] over 60 years old, who are morally and physically ready to resist and defeat the enemy," Mr Reznikov wrote.



Probably because they are not pussies. No wonder old Putin thinks he can do whatever the fuck he wants. The west has gone soft as shit.

If that was your homeland being overrun, would you surrender to a man like Putin? Fuck that shit.

you're all over the place with your ridiculous and baseless accusations. shutting down nordstream 2 is too harsh, but excluding russia from swift not harsh enough? who is a "known russia shill"?
and somehow the former chancellor from the opposition party is responsible?!

can you make up your mind, lol? it's amazing how completely lost and incoherent you are when you're not just uncritically regurgitating simplistic talking points from your far-right, pro-russian bubble...

Correct, President ruled all men aged 18-60 CANNOT leave the country in case they need to be called up to fight Putin

it's not a principled position anyway, the far right has just collectively lost their minds, licking putin boot.

when some dirt poor muslim peasants with no infrastructure or means to resist flee from a fundamentalist terror regime they are like "why dont you stay and fight? i would totally just rambo IS into oblivion, gg no re - bunch of cowards", but when ukraine tries to resist the dictator putin they call it "pointless and unwinnable", just surrender the whole fucking country to russia...
