is this much different from movies ?
charlie chaplin, rambo, batman... or just take any random set of movies and compare the male vs female set. men are ok bo get hurt or killed.

i suspect part of that might be rooted in the "disposability" of men - a woman is valuable, it's nine months until the offspring. males have been disposable - wars, exploration, scientific experiments...

so we have popculture products killing males left and right and we perceive that as being ok - because it is ok as proven by genetics and history

like the topaz somehow "accidentally" ending up on the "humanitarian help" trucks ?

russian special force incursions in ukraine have been repelled several times with some border guards dead - but i guess there have been many more that have been successful.

some others you mentioned were concerns about what russia could do, not lies - given russians did not wait for a full ukrainian approval, just imagine this happening to any other country...

so could you please come up with outright lies - especially nato-propagated ones ?

some might be scarred by truly twisted specimens of the otherwise beautiful, smart, nice, charming side of our species.

how come it is ok to slap and threaten a guy...

it goes both ways. there are assholes who treat women badly, and there are probably about as many women who are total bitches.
not seeing both sides makes you a problem, too.

a lot of ukrainians died, too. and the soviets rewarded them by starving to death more ukrainians than the total number of ussr residents that died during ww2.

nato bigwigs in europe have signalled that they aren't _that_ sure about protecting the countries bordering russia, possibly sacrificing them as a buffer zone. not encouraging, you know. putin must be jerking off high and low over this

putin claimed his terrorists bought weapons in some stores somewhere. ukrainians could buy anything in some countryside store, i guess...

indeed.

germans are weak.

italians are crazy.

french are weak and stupid (hello, mistral-french).

and we, "eastern europe", are fucked (or, as you put it, we have "a serious problem")

i'm torn between 3 possibilities

a) you are a retard
b) you are either tied to, or directly paid by russian structures
c) you misspelt "Russian" as "Ukrainian"

please provide examples of disinformation from nato.
or from ukrainian high command for that matter.

also, if a slashdot submission excludes key facts in the hope that we will read the article, they must be smoking something stroooong.
we'll go in offtopic rants instead.

HA. i had seen the new javascripty media viewer and was annoyed, but did not research it.

luckily, you can disable it. if you are logged in, go to your preferences, appearance tab and unmark "Enable Media Viewer".

yay :)

lack of understanding what russia does and what happens in ukraine right now is astonishing. where do you get your news, russia today ?

samzenpus. i even bothered to find a way to hide him for my logged-in account, but unfortunately i can't just make him disappear for my anonymous visits, which is how i ended up here

sure, i didn't say it's easy to change - but it's important to recognise that this is wrong and laziness on their part :)
