I don't pay close enough attention to PARD drama, who's off the island?
tbh there were 3 users suspended, all for posts which were tamer then what we are currently seeing.

Listening alternatively to Russian / Ukrainian shills ITT is really tiresome. Suffice to say that the war did not develop nearly as well as Russia expected, but at the same time they've clearly weathered the worst of Weatern sanctions, and they have a massive industrial and demographic advantage in the protracted, multi-year war they're now in. Ukraine cannot win the war military, and a negotiated settlement, one which includes territorial concessions, is the only way this war ends with Ukraine as a sovereign state.
the verb "shill" —promoting someone or something for pay
As most of us who have been posting in this topic a while now will recall, there was a certain user who offered payment in cash to users, via pm, to promote one side. Back then the moderation of this sub forum was better then it is now, noting said user was, thankfully, banned. granted he is probably back as a multi but at least back then when they saw shit they did something about it.
