Commodores, Amigas, and others destroyed. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Sad news.

I love Ukrainian people and country too.

All the best for Russian people.

Is a pity to loose all those computer and consoles but I love Ukrainian and specially Russian people not Putin in fact I believe.

Long live the Amiga in Ukraine too!!!

And all over the world.

What a waste! How many Russian Generals are dead? How many Russian conscripted teenagers lie dead on foreign soil with no funerals and how many Ukrainian cities lie ruined with Russian troops bombing civilian survivors!

And now this. Oh that the Russian equivalent museum had been smashed but then again all they gave the world computer wise was the Dendy console; a cheap knock off NES console! Their government sucks and now they've legalised piracy to get around the embargo on selling Russia Western games and technology! Rise up Russians and reclaim your democracy from Putin the dictator.

Edit: The Russians can't even lay claim to the Dendy as it was manufactured in "Taiwan from Chinese components"! I guess their crowning achievement is Metro: Dying Light. That's quite fitting since the armageddon backdrop of people huddling together in the underground is what they're now inflicting on the Ukraine!

What about Tetris?


Instead of waging a war of aggression, playing this game would be a far better use of time.

They're too busy destroying structures now. Something like Rampage: World Tour is probably Putin's favourite game; destroying cities around the world one by one until they're rubble!

The conflict in the Ukraine is tragic, but the destruction here was of things. No matter how rare or irreplaceable, they are nothing compared to the loss of a single life or the displacement of a family.

On that note, a much bigger tragedy of the conflict is the sickening hypocrisy and complete diversion of the world's attention from every other conflict in which people are displaced, killed and indiscriminately harmed.

European governments were quick to open their doors for Ukrainian refugees. Even the pariah state ****hole I have to call come that has actively been pursuing a "hostile" policy towards anyone desperate enough to risk their lives drowning in the channel to get here has asked people to "adopt" displaced ukrainian families.

What about the desperate families escaping conflict and oppression in Syria? Yemen? Palestine? Libya? Unfortunately out government, and many others in the west appear to have a Dulux chart of skin tone to check against when deciding whether or not someone is worthy of this humanity.

When Russia took Crimea condemnation was quick. Where was the condemnation when Trump said the world should recognise Israeli ownership of the Golan Heights? How is this different? If you can take it by force, it's yours. But only for western governments and their allies, apparently.

Ukraine has been a U.S. Democrat party pet nation building project since at least the Euromaidan demonstrations forced out the Russian puppet leader who fled to Russia. It looks like the U.S. chose the Ukrainian leader after Euromaidan according to a leaked or hacked phone conversation with Victoria Nuland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland

Ukraine crisis: Transcript of leaked Nuland-Pyatt call
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957

Click here for pic with captions of the 3 Ukrainian leaders Nuland picked from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland#/media/File:Secretary_Kerry_Meets_With_Ukrainian_Opposition_Leaders_in_Munich_(12253362394).jpg

The caption reads, "John Kerry and Victoria Nuland with Ukrainian opposition leaders Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk and Klitschko, Munich, February 1, 2014." That is Jen Psaki in the pic too. Joe Biden wasn't there but he was the lead in Ukraine as V.P. under Obama. Both Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and John Kerry's son, Devon Archer, were directors for the shady Ukrainian energy company Burisma, one of the recipients of aide from the U.S. for increased energy production. The big happy family is back in business under the current administration and Ukraine is important because of how many billions of dollars the U.S. has invested in it, with transparency lacking and plenty of corruption I might add. My point is, the current war in Ukraine and support for the Ukrainians may be more politically motivated, perhaps with dirty corrupt politics, than racially motivated. The risk that the war could escalate into WWIII and the fact that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to potentially cause a nuclear winter makes it more interesting than most wars. The apparent return of Russia to steal and destroy more of a non-threatening nation makes it much easier to choose sides against the aggressive bully unjustly targeting civilians. The economic impact is already global with some commodities more than double what they were a couple of years ago. The scale and global impact of the Ukraine war surpasses other current wars especially considering that is has only been going on about a month.

Ukrainian Crimea was not threatening Russia before Russia annexed it. Ukraine had an amicable deal with Russia allowing a Russian military base in Crimea. In contrast, Syria tried to wipe out the Jewish race before Israel annexed the Golan Heights. Syria attacked Israel at its inception in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War when Israel didn't even have a professional military but Syria, Egypt, (Trans)Jordan, Iraq and Palestinian forces attacked them. Israel was shelled by artillery from the Golan Heights up to and including the 1967 Six Day War. Israel chose a preemptive air strike against Egypt as the larger Arab nations were planning to attack. Israel invaded the Golan Heights but were attacked by Syria first again. They decided to keep the Golan Heights this time which gave them a buffer zone to survive the 1973 Yom Kippur War when Syria attacked again with 28,000 Syrian troops, 800 tanks and 600 artillery pieces vs the initial Israel 3,000 troops, 180 tanks and 60 artillery pieces. Israel may not exist without the Golan Heights as a buffer zone. The Syrians still didn't learn their lesson but have allied with Iran proxy Hezbollah terrorists who still attack Israel to this day, albeit doing much less damage due to Israel possessing the Golan Heights. Hezbollah has some 100,000-150,000 missiles and rockets pointed at Israel but fortunately they aren't above Israel on the Golan Heights. Israel has negotiated the return of captured lands in return for peace several times and returned Egyptian land when they agreed to peace but a good example of the Syrian ego is the Khartoum Resolution after the Yom Kippur War which stated three nos of, "no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it." There were only about 100,000 Syrians that fled the Golan Heights with about 7,000 remaining. The Golan Heights was historically under Jewish control at times and the borders have changed several times. The Golan Heights city of Gamla was destroyed by the Romans after a large battle on the way to destroying Jerusalem and the 2nd temple so some Israelites say, "Gamla will not fall again" in symbolic reference to losing the Golan Heights. There were few Jews living in the Golan Heights at the time it was captured but this likely had to due with anti-Jewish racism toward settling there by the Arab Syrians and the Ottoman Turks before them despite the low population.

Sorry, your comparison was very poor. Israel has a right to defend themselves. They probably could be better about human rights and freedom but it is important to realize there is a certain percentage of Arabs that are actively and perpetually trying to commit terrorist acts and destroy them. Also, they treat Arabs better than many Arabs would treat them which is to exterminate them. Two border police were shot and killed in one incident and 4 civilians killed in a stabbing attack in the last few days which usually doesn't even make the news in other countries but is big news in Israel with such a small population. I like to read the English Times of Israel for news. It seems less biased than most U.S. news and gives a different perspective of events including editorials which sometimes criticize the Israeli government.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/

Be careful of anti-Israel propaganda from the racists who hate them and seek to destroy them. The hatred for such a small group is illogical yet it resurfaces time and time again. I wish everyone could live together in peace but there is real evil in the world.

Your opinions change what with regards to attitudes to refugees from other conflicts?

Since you pick up on the Israeli Palestinian conflict comparison, do you deny that there are innocent displaced Palestinians in said conflict? I'm sure the UN recognises this. And if Israel has the right to defend itself against its perceived enemies, why not Putin? We're so conditioned to the doublethink we don't even see the hypocrisy of it all when it's brandished Infront of us.

You don't even mention the rest. Yemen, for instance? The UK government doesn't say much about it because the armaments sales to the Saudi regime are profitable.

I think this is becoming the problem for the west and its values when we apply different values for different conflicts and countries.

Its really sad whats happening in Ukraine, but it also sad what happen to yeman, Palestinians, afghanistans and iraq.

I wish mankind stopped fighting and work together, because what we can build, create is so much more impressive than what we can destroy. a real shame that we still haven't learnt this.

The aggression of our allies is either overlooked or, when it can't be so readily overlooked or hidden, cast in a light that makes the the recipient of their aggression a threat that the aggressor has a right to defend itself against.

This works very well for Israel. The best equipped army in the region is surrounded by hostiles that somehow equates to self defence when oppressing Palestinians. The conflict is portrayed as even sided, when absolutely nothing is further from the truth. It's a hugely asymmetric conflict. Just look at the death toll on each side. Ans yet, despite holding all the cards, Israel is forever the victim in this argument, everything it does is within it's right to self-defense. Disagree with this? You're an antisemite.

If the situation were reversed and it were a Jewish community besieged by Palestinians annexing their land, restricting their moment and responding with extreme disporoptionaliy to every act of violence, I'd be saying the same thing of their plight.

But we live in this reality. Nothing makes the reproductive organs of both your typical virtue signalling liberal or right leaning conservative politician retract faster than mentioning Palestine. "It's complicated.". "You don't understand!". "It's different!"

No, it really isn't.

By their nature war conflicts do not spare anything .. especially in areas like Mariupol where civilians are prevented from escape in order to be constantly used as human shields by the neo-fascist extremists of the Azov battalion

Perceived enemies? Do you mean the people who are shooting rockets into their cities? "Perceived" isn't the right word.

Such a tragically predictable response.

It is absolutely the right word. Ask yourself why some Palestinians fire these rockets, if you can bear to. Israel created this threat to itself when it ignored the 1948 borders and drove countless families from their land in a relentless campaign of expansion and created a cycle of misery, suffering and violence that has persisted ever since.

The situation at the start was no different from the Palestinian's perspective than how Russia's aggression in Ukraine today is perceived by your average Ukrainian today. Half the population were driven from their homes and have never been able to return.

The only difference today is the passage of time and who owns the narrative. It's been about a month since the Russians forced their way into Ukraine. It's been 74 years since Israel tore up the map and began it's expansion. It's become a multi generational conflict. Examine how the map of Israel and Palestine has changed since 1948 to the present day and honestly ask yourself, would you be happy if you were on the receiving end of it.

So yes, some of them fire rockets sometimes. Some of those actually make it through the defences and some of those on turn injure and kill people. Does it justify a tenfold retribution from the greater power in the conflict? Casualty data from each side for most flare ups are recorded by the UN. You can check for yourself:
https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties

It's a grim story repeated over and over. Tell me, what would you offer the Palestinians in return for their pacification?

My opinions don't change reality. The Ukrainian people are perceived as peaceful law abiding Europeans which other European and Western countries are more likely to open their doors for. We are very wary of Muslim and Arab immigrants and refugees which have sometimes brought terrorism and hatred for us to our countries. These people would likely be better off settled into Middle East nations but they are often less compassionate to their own people and ruled by authoritarian autocrats. Much of the Middle East destabilization has come from Iran which is trying to build an empire of influence much like Putin trying to rebuild the Russian/Soviet empire, sometimes by proxy and puppet regimes. Iran is at least partially responsible for attacks in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, the Palestinian states, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Biden is ignoring the Iranian terrorism and trying to lift sanctions with the renegotiated nuclear deal so Iran gets oil money instead of Russia. This is U.S. foreign policy to support one evil regime instead of another as long as we meet our greenhouse gas obligations and don't produce the energy for the world here despite us being blessed with the supply.

There is likely some racial discrimination of poor immigrants from parts of Africa and Haiti over by the U.S. Some of the North African immigrants are Muslim and crime has been a problem. Many of these poor people lack education, skills and there may be language barriers. The world would benefit from utilizing their cheap labor force but these same socioeconomic problems limit how these nations can compete with the cheap labor of Asia. The world could do more to help these countries but in many cases they are shitting in their own nest. It is difficult to invest in corrupt nations where there is a lack of morality as can be seen by the huge U.S. malinvestment nation building in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Sure, there are innocent Palestinians affected by the terrorist tendencies of the few but supported by a significant portion of the population. Some Palestinians are happy for the Israel economic success and benefit greatly from it but others sabotage it. Israel benefits from a cheap labor force but it is safer to use returning immigrants than local Palestinians. The Palestinians are another case of a people shitting in their own nest when huge economic opportunity is next door. The land of Judea/Israel (later called Syria Palestine by Greeks and Romans) was a poor low population region like the Golan Heights in most of modern history up until the late 1800s. It was settlers to the "Holy Land" that modernized and created an economic powerhouse that allowed the local population to grow. Other Arab/Muslim nations have made peace with Israel and have friendly diplomatic relations like Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. There is some unity against Iran and the terrorism they spread.

Now I have mentioned Yemen but the big problem is Iran. This is a proxy war and the U.S. is also on the same side while Iran, Syria and Russia are on the opposing side. This is a continuation of the Cold War and proxy wars between the U.S. and Russia. Just in the Middle East, there is also the current Syrian War and in the past the wars between Israel backed by the U.S. and the Arab nations backed by Russia. The major difference is that some of the Arab countries have switched sides, still often reluctant to call themselves Israel or U.S. allies, and Iran is now the biggest threat to Middle East stability. The U.S. was involved directly with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars while being attacked by Iranian and Russian proxies like Russia was attacked by U.S. proxies when they were directly involved in Afghanistan. In my opinion, modern U.S. foreign policy has been awful, especially in the Middle East, but that doesn't make us the bad guys. There aren't many "good guys" in the Middle East so maybe it is better to stay out of the region but Iran, Russia and now China will take advantage and they have become hostile expansionist bullies.

Yes, there is often propaganda and false flags when starting wars. Certainly Saudi Arabia is far from a beacon of morality and freedom as our ally but Iran makes them look good. Ukraine really didn't do anything hostile toward Russia itself but did fight the separatists in the south east backed by Russia. Russia has the propaganda but the real reason for the invasion is Putin's plan to restore the Russian/Soviet empire by direct control or puppet regime. Belarus is a puppet regime, Georgia has land under Russia control and is intimidated into submission, Ukraine is New Russia (Novorossiya) and Moldova may be next on the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novorossiya

Putin's ambitions could grow with success and appeasement like Hitler's ambitions in WWII. Unfortunately, the nuclear capabilities of Russia makes it very dangerous to check.

The times have changed since the Israel War for independence when they borrowed a cannon from a museum. Israel has a small population and territory while they have been relentlessly attacked by armies several times their size. That is the reason why they are one of the best equipped militaries in the world and have compulsory service including women. They have some of the best intelligence agencies in the world and will preemptively strike if they believe an attack is being planned against them. They profile people and have reduced freedom in the name of national security and this causes blowback sometimes. They can't afford to lose though.

No, it really isn't.


If the situation was reversed, there would likely be genocide of the people of Israel. Here are some quotes from before the Six Day War.

Quote:

“Those who survive will remain in Palestine. I estimate that none of them will survive.” - Ahmed Shukairy, chairman of PLO in Jordanian Jerusalem, asked in news interview what will happen to the Israelis if there is a war.

"We shall not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand, we shall enter it with its soil saturated in blood" - President of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser

“The battle has come in which we shall destroy Israel." - Cairo Radio

“I believe that the time has come to begin a battle of annihilation.”- Syria’s Defence Minister Hafez Assad (later to be Syria’s President).

“The existence of Israel is an error which must be rectified. This is our opportunity to wipe out the ignominy which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear - to wipe Israel off the map” - President Aref of Iraq

“Strike the enemy’s settlements, turn them into dust, pave the Arab roads with the skulls of Jews.”
- Hafez Assad
(Michael B. Oren, Six Days of War [Oxford University Press, 2002], p. 293)

“The operation of liberation is not merely removing an imperialistic base, but what is more important: the extermination of a society; not only is military defeat the aim in the Palestinian war of liberation, but the liquidation of the Zionist character of the occupied land, whether in manpower or in society.”
- Fatah statement (Liberation of the Occupied Lands and the Method of Struggle Against Direct Colonialism, September 1967; quoted in Y. Harkabi, The Palestinian Covenant and its Meaning [Vallentine Mitchell, 1979], pp. 47-8)

“We must fight our way to victory on a sea of blood and a horizon of fire.”
- Gamal Abdel Nasser
(Wall Street Journal, November 14, 1969)


Maybe it was just propaganda but in the 1973 Yom Kippur War there were 293 Israeli POWs while at least 86 may have been killed after surrendering.

https://www.haaretz.com/.premium-86-israeli-pows-killed-in-1973-war-1.5339130

It is wise to take threats of extermination seriously and Iran is the boldest nation making these threats to Israel today. There have been cases of abuse and unjust treatment by Israelis but it is not at the same level in my opinion. Many Palestinians are oppressed but how much of it is them shitting in their own nest?

When valid counterargument fails there's always insults and name calling to fall back on.
