    You couldn't make this up. It's not even remotely funny. So to anyone brave enough who want's to fight in Ukraine, don't kill anyone FFS, or you'll be prosecuted upon your return. Do these politician live in the real world. Face Palm.png

    According to government advice, if you travel to eastern Ukraine to fight, or to assist others engaged in the conflict, your activities may amount to offences against UK terrorism or other legislation and you could be prosecuted on your return to the UK. The FCDO isn't able to provide consular services to anyone in the parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts not currently under control of the Ukrainian authorities.

    Can you imagine the outrage if someone came back and was prosecuted, though?

    Wouldn't surprise me in the least. But Yes, the outrage would be totally justified.

    I suspect that type of ruling happened after the ISIS crisis, where some of our finest young prospects, in an unusual moment of weakness, were coerced Into being a freedom fighter for a doctrine they fully believe in and love! :mad:

    I read that it may be related to a law from 1870, somewhat before ISIS, saying it's illegal to enlist in a foreign army at war with a country at peace with the UK

    Here you go peeps - this speaks volumes and was what I suspected all along.
    The Russian front line conscript grunts are as innocent as the Ukrainians!!!

    I would be cautious in believing propaganda produced from either side.

    The first casualty of war is truth.

    Must be bollox! How can they shoot people and not know the full picture? There’s the internet out there that tells you info and they ain’t shooting cloth puppets like an exercise!

    How is it congressional democrats investigated Trump for 3 years found nothing implicating him. Try to impeach him twice to no avail. Now the latest investigation has found the allegations were false and contrived by Clinton’s legal team and people pounce on CCN MSNBC bullshit? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!

    I think that Putin is beyond American, British or European politics… He would happily use anyone as a tool for his desires.

    The Russians are claiming that their dead number in the hundreds whereas the Ukrainian figures are in the thousands. One or both of them are telling porkies.

    Watching this video reminded me of very similar circumstances in the Falklands war (yes I know it was officially a conflict and not a war). Let’s hope it back fires on Putin as it did on the Argentine junta.

    War has no rules and lying to people is a tool to use as well as everything else that goes.

    Like all good internet arguments, the reality usually falls nearer the middle! Both figures are shocking, and reveal what regard Putin has for Russian people. Ukrainians are dying to protect their country, Russians dying to give Putin a hard on.
