Poisoning Pies

[Stargazer]

It seems shocking that two died and a further 28 are in hospital after having been offered what must have appeared to be a kind gesture of free baked items and a further 300 in hospital posioned by drink. The Ukrainian hospitals treating their enemy with kindness, or are they being taken beck to Russia for treatment?

I posted about this yesterday.

“Izyum” means “raisins” in Russian and Ukrainian ;-)

Surprised Russia hasn’t moaned to the UN about it :-)

[ichkeria]

It’s not clear who controls Izyum: possibly it’s partially occupied.
Being treated in a Ukrainian hospital I’d have thought they’d be in more danger from their own side

I will help make them.

If the Russians ate/drank anything they got from the locals they must be really stupid!

[ichkeria]

Despite all previous evidence to the contrary :-)
If it’s free food they’ll take it

[sanmac]

Yes, accepting food or drink from residents of the country which you are invading and brutalizing is extremely careless and naive.

[ichkeria]

Much easier to steal it …

I doubt in any case they that were physically given it. Maybe they were.

A great way to wipe out the Russian army would be booby-trapped loot.

I can understand the anger of the Ukranians but the poor Russian soldiers probably hungry. They are caught up in an evil situation, and not a lot they can do about it. I don't think they deserved to be poisoned. Some hardly men, who's Mothers will be grieving for their children. It's terrible for both sides. I can't feel any pleasure from these poisonings.

[ichkeria]

No sympathy here

[sanmac]

Patsy, the Russian mothers will be grieving whether the sons are shot or poisoned. Their sons are an enemy invading Ukraine.

I might have given a different answer last week …

[ichkeria]

I wouldn’t have taken a pie from this lady that’s for sure …

Maybe poisoning isn't as painful as being tortured, branded, raped and then murdered.

Four wrongs don't make a right.

Comparing war atrocities is pointless - it's not a competition.

People are suffering in a variety of ways for a variety of reasons, driven by the unbalanced mind of one man, and no-one should rejoice in the suffering of either side - the Ukrainians who are invaded, or the Russians who are doing as they are ordered from a government that hides the truth from them.

People are in a war situation. They are trying to fight an enemy who has invaded them and is slaughtering thousands. Any method of hitting at them is OK. I'm not much good at baking, but I'd make an effort. Really can't comprehend the attitude of the O. Poster.
OH did Nat. Service (and was a kid during WW2) and they were told not to accept gifts - and why. What is hard to understand about the word 'war'? It's horrible, no one wants to do it, but this is a them or us situation.
