While the discussions at the BFC forums already had a very bad smell, where they set up rules not to discuss politics while Steve Grammont broke the own rules and claimed Russia was the aggressor and even attacked the Russian president ad hominem, and then this discussion became even more strange, when Grammont was repeating NATO-claims without the slightest evidence, now the discussion has turned almost surreal:
In his answer to one of the very few voices, daring to question his views, he wrote:
I find that an extremely strange behaviour for a businessman with a small customer base torwards customers. This behaviour is not only extemely unprofessional, it shows an anti-business stance and in my opinion is damaging the business. Does anyone know a company that has chiefs that act that way in PR?
I mean in Europe a majority is not sharing the view of the Western establishment in this conflict. Why is a small company's chief taking the position of the establishment when his customers are divided?
Why is he defending the propaganda of one side without any evidences?
This does not make sense from a business point of view.
I just visited the Graviteam homepage and forums - although they are a Ukrainian company, I could not say, what their personal opinion was about the current conflict or the forces they model.
Although they and their beloved ones are most probably personally hit somehow. That's professionalism.
It just doesn't make sense for a company which wants to sell also in Russia and Europe, to be openly an agent of the propaganda of one side.
The only explanation I have, is that individual retail customers are not (any longer?) their only source of revenue.

Don't buy that for a second. How could a country not know about military stockpiles on it's territory after 20+ years?...
The days of believing that the separatists have armed themselves should be long gone and dead. It was never, ever, even for 1 day true. Weapons have always been coming in from Russia along with "volunteers". Always.
At the beginning the mandate to the separatists was to arm themselves as much as possible in order to keep up the illusion that the conflict was a civil war and not a state sponsored invasion. But it was nothing but an illusion and those of us paying attention to the details saw that the truth within days of the first armed takeovers. Not that it surprised me at all, considering this was built into the Black Sea story years before
Plus, since this time the amount of hardware in Donbas that has never, ever been in Ukrainian or Soviet hands has steadily increased. I just posted a video of roughly 11 vehicles that are recent production and only number in the low hundreds. They are absolutely Russian military.
So please, I am begging here, let us not once again start down the road of denying that this is an invasion already, not a civil war. If you disagree, kindly do not post that you do. It insults both my intelligence and yours.
