Good read, thanks for posting.
Russians castrating a POW, then posting the video.
Speachless
Filthy bastards have also apparently bombed a Ukrainian PoW compound.
I suspect a sub or two is not far away either, both attack and bomber varieties
Can anyone confirm/refute this? Bit worrying …
not everything posted on the internet means the world is ending.

Never known anyone who looks for all the bad so much. Maybe try mindfulness or something ?

Looks very deep fake and the only reporting on it is social media accounts and dubious “news” agencies.

It was on C4 news. Reported as a social media clip.
Conflicted by the Taiwan issue. I’m always suspicious of the US and it’s imperialist ambitions however, Taiwan was never a part of the PRC and indeed rather than it being a break away state, it was in fact the Chinese Communist Party that seized control of the mainland post WW2 and left what was the Republic of China which Taiwan remains a part of. I can’t see why Taiwan shouldn’t be able to receive visitors from wherever it chooses.
It’s all about how the Chinese civil war ended without proper resolution.
Rather worrying
