Actually, the onus is on you to provide a credible source for your claims, which you haven't.

Oh god not another one!

Just to say my link had nothing to do with President Zelensky bringing anyone anywhere. It was a touching moment at the D-day celebrations

Here you go he is an mp now:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Rota#:~:text=Anthony%20Michael%20Gerard%20Rota%20MP,the%20riding%20of%20Nipissingβ€”Timiskaming.

Here scroll to the end about Canadian govt not wanting to unseal the records:

www.ctvnews.ca/politics/it-has-been-hell-liberal-mp-rota-on-months-since-speaker-resignation-1.6739122

Here Ukrainian army attacks civilians and lies about it:

edition.cnn.com/2014/06/03/world/europe/ukraine-luhansk-building-attack/index.html

And the bit about Zel lying about Poland was from a BBC (UK) documentary where this was said by Sunak. He said along the lines of: "Justin and I asked him to tell the truth, as we would support him anyway and it's all Russias fault anyway" apologies that I cannot download the whole documentary here.

I provided a source which this new poster hadn't done - despite telling us to look up this supposedly egregious event. Hmm

I'm fucked if I'm going to go away and do his or her work for them again Angry

Instead, I'm going to search again for the link I've used before for donations to the Ukrainian defence against Russian aggression and humanitarian support.

Edemummy · 07/06/2024 17:48

Dear parents on this thread, I, like you have the children, and worry about their future. If our governments are going to push us into a ww3, I at least want to know that it's for a worthy cause, not for some cynical geopolitical games they are playing.

See the sources below. Also notice how I have been talking to you with respect and you and your mates have already covered me in insults.
No wonder you have created an echo chamber here of only those with certain beliefs even bothering to write.

prettybird · 07/06/2024 18:01

I have not insulted you.

I also note that your CNN link is from 2014 - long before Zelenskyy was elected and shortly after Russia's illegal invasion of Crimea. Confused

I really can't be bothered engaging further. If you choose to take that as an insult, that is your prerogative.

It is also my prerogative to take this as a reminder to donate to Ukraine Smile

Dear @Edemummy fuck off with your patronising bollocks, lies and misinformation.

How caring 😐

minsmum · 07/06/2024 18:09

Can someone give me the link for donations please

I don't say it wasn't from 2014, but it doesn't change the fact that they have attacked first and then lied.

Dear @Edemummy fuck off with your patronising bollocks, lies and misinformation.

You are a delight!

Again, which bit exactly is a lie or misinformation? Honestly some of you are a media propagandists dream

The irony.

Edemummy · 07/06/2024 18:59

So which part is the lie exactly?

The irony is that you cannot and will not answer that question.

Even when presented with evidence, you will keep repeating the same thing, indeed further conversation here is pointless.

notimagain · 07/06/2024 19:02

Watching with interest…

We are aware, aren’t we, that the 2022 event was a SAM not guiding/not self destructing, I’m not sure many would describe that as an attack, more like a negligent discharge or an ordnance fail…but I’d agree the info side of things over the following 24-48 hours wasn’t well handled.

Arconialiving · 07/06/2024 19:10

Thank you @prettybird - will be donating.

Actually I am a delight. I will show my teeth though, when faced with such utter rudeness and disregard that I shown when someone jumps into a conversation, insults the participants and spreads misinformation and lies.

You really should learn to read the room.
