The fact that something is happening doesn't mean it has to be posted in gory detail on a website which, let's face it, is mainly an opportunity for folk to have a bit of a step away from their daily life. Murder, rape and child sex offences are reality as well, but I don't think anyone would be keen on that particular reality being plastered all over a thread either.
It's not achieving anything either, I doubt people reading this thread are thinking "oh aye, war sounds fun" and then suddenly come to a realisation that it's a bad thing once they see some horrific pictures being posted.

I'll say it again Craig....... Your sanctimony knows no bounds.


I don't think not wanting graphic images of mutilated human bodies on a football forum is really "sanctimonious", but you do you.

In the American Civil War, the Battle of Bull Run happened early on and close to Washington.  Some wealthy citizens of Washington decided to organise a picnic and watch the battle unfold.

When the Northern forces had to beat a retreat, their progress was delayed by panicking onlookers who were also trying to escape.

Of course Truss didn't make the Russians go to Brown Trousers Alert Level 5 in the same way Boris didn't make the Iranians hold an innocent woman in prison. 

But by being shit at their jobs, not across their briefs, and incapable of communicating professionally when it actually matters they gave them an in. A point of vulnerability to exploit. You only need to see Lavrov running rings around the Thatherette in Moscow a few weeks ago to know that they had her marked as weak. 

It doesn't excuse either the Russians or the Iranians to say that Truss and BawJaws are totally unsuited to the great offices of state and their incompetence has consequences. 

Tbf, that is Lavrovs' technique, he does that 'I'm a hard man, and every one else is pathetic...' thing all the time.

However, when he and the other minions were gathered round the table as Putin addressed them all just before the invasion,

Lavrov looked like someone who was in the process of  browning his trousers at the implications of what his boss was saying , and about to order.

Graphic pictures within labelled spoiler tabs are fine. Please use the spoiler tabs, though. 

Now everyone carry on with what you were doing. Arguing, probably... 😀

And spewing soup over their phone...

Jimmy, do me a favour and take a picture of me saving the Ukraine using only my phone. 

I thought you were keeping on the theme there with Quadrophenia !!

Been reading this thread over the last few hours with my 3yo, who is the highest grader in her Kindergarten. 

She commented on the @TommyDickFingers twitter link, as a disgusting but understandable part of war, which should have been within the hidden quote, which is an easy function to use.

Currently working on inditing Tommy Dickfingers at the Hague for war crimes. Assets are already frozen and a 5 year ban on attending any Europa League games at Pittodrie is about to be ratified.

point of order, those 5 games will take about 20 years.
