It's always been my opinion that the best method to signal your disinterest in something is the simply read something else, rather than start a thread to let the world know (I'm addressing the OP, not you D).
On the other hand, had this thread not existed, we wouldn't have seen that comic you posted, and although I've seen the joke in threads over the last few days it's significantly funnier when illustrated.

Why. Lets say the Russian bear marches all the way to Polish border and retakes all the lost territories that went independent.
SO WHAT?
That would be attacking European countries inside NATO which would be an act of war against the alliance and therefore Britain by extension. That would make Germany stop being neutral and the germans would crush the Russian army. They have a vastly superior army and more to the point, Putin isn't stupid enough to challenge Germany or NATO directly. He is acting within the Ukraine which is russias sphere of influence. So he is not going to attack Latvia with its 46% russian population. The Kremlin knows it would lose such a war and that its too weak to fight such a war. Why do you think the Russians were so quick to visit Merkel and reassure the Russian people through the press that cordial relations with Germany would continue?
The Ukraine is not NATO and the Ukraine is not Europe. Again, not my concern. We are not talking about Poland or even Latvia here.
The way I see it you have basically two options:
A) You can not care and shut up about Ukraine and stop posting.
B) Quit lying and get into the actual Ukraine thread and talk about what you care about.
Because all you have done so far is spam the forum with a duplicate thread that is 100% about you and your feelings and how you feel about stuff and how it pisses you off and about how your feelings are the most important, all while pretending that you don't have any strong feelings about the whole situation.
How dare you.
I have a right to criticise my government and media aligning themselves with ukraine,.You want to say that I have no right to comment on that and that I should just blindly except the crap being spewed out of channel 4, BBC and by their "experts"? I simply don't want my foriegn policy to be dictated by some dumb ukrainian conscript. Fighting Russia is WW3 and nuclear war. That is not in anyones interest.
How exasctly am I lying? Name one thing I have said that is a lie.
I am not disinterested.. I am sickened, disgusted, angry, outraged and fed up with my governents and the medias warmongering.

To be honest I'm not sure whether i'd be shocked or not.
Isn't "nuke it from orbit" and "turn it into glass" the preferred problem-solving method of the Dakka OT?
Well it does tend to turn lots of problems into one larger problem...
Not sure if that helps though.

You have all the right in the world to criticize your government all you want, but not on Dakka. On Dakka, you don't duplicate threads. You're spamming the OT with a self-indulgent rant about how all of this is terribly inconveniencing you and your delicate sensibilities. It's all really rather selfish. Liverpool or London or Manchester or wherever you're from is in no danger of getting nuked so calm down, drink some tea, and chill the feth out. Furthermore, you can criticize the government all you want - just like people have a right to call you out on spamming or hypocrisy or being selfish or simply not having a clue. Free speech (which doesn't really exist on Dakka as it is a private website) goes both ways buddy.
Are you going to actually address what you object to about my anti-war view instead of coming out with insults?
Am I too unsympathetic to the Ukrainians. Should I be weeping at their humiliation and willing to risk everything for them?
Are you saying Putin is like Hitler and shouldn't be appeased? Theres a difference, Hitler didn't have nukes and russias army is inferior to the Wests in every single measure. We are the ones threatening russia by trying to put the ukraine into the EU; not the other way around. Nobody wants a nuclear war and frankly the west shouldn't be banging on russias door like this.
I think you have all bought hook line and sinker what you're being told on Fox news. The ukrainians are all innocent lambs and the West needs to go in and save them.

You do have a right. But you also have to abide by the rules of the forum, and that includes no spamming. So if you are pissed off about Ukraine then talk about being pissed off in the already existing and very long Ukraine thread.
How exasctly am I lying? Name one thing I have said that is a lie.
Hint: It's in the title:
"Ukraine? Not my problem."
So it's either not your problem, even though it seems to be enough of a problem for you to keep on typing stuff, or it's spam.
Considering the other thread has wandered off inot how many neo nazi flags are in a picture land I can kind of understand the idea of posting this direct question.

When the BBC and Channel 4 keep repeatedly saying the west is doing nothing to save ukraine and imply that they should be militarily intervening. Over and over and over again, When they keep pressuring western ministers and leaders to do somethingmilitary to oppose Putin. This is warmongering and it risks WW3. If that happens, russia will use nukes and there is every chance my city will get nuked along with most of the planet.

Spam is spam no matter how righteous you feel about it.
Incidentally, no one is advocating we start throwing nukes at the Russians. Even Russia aren't crazy enough to turn nuclear, they realise that it would turn everyone against them instantly. A country that starts throwing nukes around without provocation is going to be put down like a mad dog.

watching golf and/or collecting stamps "enjoyable" as no fun person would ever conceive a thought as bland as "nuke it from orbit".
