Russia and the Ukraine

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

So, this all seems horrible.

The important question is whether or not all this will affect the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Russia won't host if George Takei has anything to say about it.

The international pressure is taking financial toll on Russia already. This is just going to make it even worse.

The news of pro-Russians sending the black box to Moscow, banning investigators from the crash sites and moving bodies is also troubling.

There are also reports of gunshots and minor explosions near the crash site, so that's troubling.

I don't really understand why the "separatists" don't own up to this being an accident. Although, I'm not sure if you can call it an accident since they meant to shoot down a plane, just not a commercial airliner. And let's face it, if they had shot down a Ukrainian plane, this wouldn't be headline news, it would be lumped in with the rest of the Ukraine/Russia news.

Well. If you're one of the good guys, this sort of thing is usually referred to as "collateral damage."

If not, then you are a terrorist.

So shall it be written.
