[Possum11]

America won't keep funding ukraine forever & Putin knows it.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

It is an escalating conflict that began with a coup in 2014..

Actually, it’s started back in 862AD with a young prince…

If you have a look at the Wiki page on Ukraine, it's basically the same history lesson Vlad gave Tucker. Except that Putin implies that Ukraine isn't a real country and has no right to exist. Isn't that roughly the same argument that Israel makes about Palestine?

Is it lost on everyone that the only interview Putin grants to western media is to Trumps' fluffer? The same willfully ignorant Trump muppet that still thinks the 2020 election was stolen. It was all fake only Tucker wasn't in on the joke.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Meh. Not sure the media have a case. BBC is complaining, but they aided and abetted a paedophile for like 50yrs soooo

Here’s a question, do you think he’s lying about asking to join NATO?

It's public knowledge that he did. The real question is why didn't NATO want Russia to join the gang. Maybe NATO needed the Russian bogeyman to keep those big defence contracts rolling in.

I see Navalny has died in prison. I wonder how that happened, maybe accidentally hung himself whilst ironing a shirt.

Seriously, why he thought it was a good idea to go back to Russia is beyond me

I'm surprised he lasted this long

TIL learned Navalny's staff were caught on camera asking MI6 for 10-20mil a year to start a color revolution.

Top Navalny aide asked alleged British spy for millions in funding, intelligence video released by Russia's FSB claims to reveal

Surveillance footage, recorded in the early 2010s, appears to show a close associate of Alexey Navalny seeking cash and intelligence from an alleged British spy and suggesting his anti-corruption work may benefit firms in London.

No way were you in the NZ forces if you are claiming RT is a reliable news source. You are an anti western troll who falls over himself hastily trying to shut down any anti Russian sentiment

Your right, I was in the ADF. Actual operational experience in theatre. What's your expertise / training in geopolitics?

I love people with zero world experience talking about "reliable sources"

I bet you were breathlessly awaiting the heroic exploits while I was telling you it was bullshit..

I don’t know what ADF is. Excuse my scepticism when all you do is post the most up to date anti western nonsense emanating from Russia. Rt indeed, it’s a Russian state backed propaganda and conspiracy outlet

Fair enough, now tell me a reliable news source in main stream media?

Take an educated guess..

Australian Defence Force.

The truth isnt "anti-western". Its just the truth.

Normal civilians are so sheltered. You think Putin is a villain? Chris Luxon (and by default kiwis) will already have blood on his hands by authorising the NZSAS to be part of the FFF cycle in both Ukraine and Israel. The difference is Putin isnt ashamed of dropping bodies.

We killed 1 million civilians in Iraq. Probably the same again in Afghan.

WTF is FFF cycle?

Find, Fix, Finish. AKA F3. Its how special operations groups work.

Terrorist attack in Moscow being claimed by Isis

Apparently the Russians were warned this could happen but appear to have dismissed this

SHAREDHow will the Kremlin respond?​

Gordon Corera
Security correspondent, BBC News
The statement from so-called Islamic State (IS) saying they were behind the attack came out on one of the group's official accounts.
That is not absolute confirmation - sometimes IS has issued false claims - however, a US official has told CBS, the BBC's US partner, that it has intelligence confirming the IS claim that it carried out the attack.
The nature of the assault – marauding gunmen killing as many civilians as possible – is typical of the way they operate. There are similarities, for instance, to the Bataclan attacks at a concert in Paris back in 2015 linked to the group.
The question of who was behind today's attack is highly charged because of the international context. Ukrainian officials - and their allies - are clearly worried Kyiv might be blamed by Moscow.
There is also the question of the US warning on 7 March about "extremists" attacking concerts. That public warning - based almost certainly on intelligence - appears to have been dismissed by Russian officials.
And so while there are always questions about who was behind an attack and if it could have been prevented, this time the pressure on Moscow may be more intense to see what they say and how they respond.
