Ukraine-Russia War Take 2
Here is what the preliminary take on the Ukraine thread disappearing is:
The site was hit with a massive spam attack where hundreds of spam threads were created. In the case where, for example, I see a single spam thread and delete it, that is called a soft delete, and mods can still see them but forum members cannot. Those deletion can be undone.
When a massive attack hits with hundreds of threads, an admin uses a different procedure where the hundreds of spam threads are merged and then hard deleted, where the threads are gone, and no note is left behind. As I have mentioned with my own experience of just soft deleting a large number of posts, sometimes a post or thread gets checked or merged accidentally and is deleted by mistake. Dealing with hundreds of spam threads takes a sledgehammer, not a scalpel.
It appears that our Ukraine thread may have gotten caught up in that recent net of spam threads. If so, it is likely gone for good. I cant say this for sure, and am awaiting comments from admins on this issue. Yes, this sucks. And hopefully there was some other software glitch that caused the disappearance, and we may recover it in the future.
But in the meantime, I have created this new Ukraine-Russia War thread to enable the conversation to continue. Obviously continuity with earlier discussions will be lost. There is no way around that. So as best as possible, let's pick up the conversation with recent events and go from there.
If you have any questions about this, please post them in the mod thread, not here. Let's keep this thread going with posts about the war, not the disappearance of the old thread.
Thanks.
He then went on to support Vivek who was even more hard on Ukraine than Trump is.
Agreed, unfortunately Russian propaganda is attempting to tie this to Ukraine and useful idiots are amplifying their message again.
It doesn't really matter if he was official working with the foreign legion he was helping them and they were accepting . well it just doesn't really matter period. as for vivek you can both be pro ukraine and vote for someone against Ukraine if you think hes the best choice for your country on overall policy's even if hes against one specific policy . He also donated and voted biden in 2020. peoples preferred candidate can change even if they are against one view. Pretty much every person ive voted for had policy's I thought were ******ed you dont get alot of choices in a two party system.
Also from what I seen he was not so much pro vivek as anti trump just asking for a vivik + that republican chick ballot. but he could have still voted for biden over them he just seems to hate trump so much that he didn't even want him on the ticket
But that seems likely he liked vivek
Did you read the tweets I just posted?
"Do less. Please."
"If you did nothing at all I'd be grateful"
"Honestly this all seems like a load of crap and fantasies. Unless someone is able to act like a professional we are pulling the plug."
They asked him to go away after realizing he is crazy. He wasn't helping them and they weren't accepting. His help was refused. This isn't some "nothing official occurred" semantics; nothing occurred. At the end he even threatens the end of Ukraine.
The point regarding Vivek is that Vivek is extremely anti-Ukraine. Anyone who is pro-Ukraine would not be hoping for Vivek to run in order to vote for him.
This dude hiding in the bushes to assassinate Trump had no significant ties to Ukraine. Anyone trying to fabricate ties is selling propaganda.
ya the one in the middle paints a different picture more recently in his views. I mean I dont care about the crazy part that was obvious. Not sure this anya person is the best source tho
