That depends on how you define traditional British values...
Out of curiosity, how many members of the WEF are non white...
Hard to define exactly, but not Islamic.
Warm beer and country lanes perhaps.....

Oh we forgot Putin and his Russian forces indiscriminately and intentionally killing civilians in Syria. The destruction of Aleppo being the prime example.Credit where it's due, Obama wasn't exactly Mother Theresa.
And the dark continent has been killing, enslaving and selling it's soul since the dawn of time.
He said he didn't do it, and he never liesAnd quite a few in Chechnya.
Ah yes the approximately 250,000 civilians killed and the destruction of Grozny at the hands of one Vladimir Putin...
And quite a few in Chechnya.
Finally, I am against the intentional killing of civilians, whether in Gaza or Belgorod.
That all may be well and true, but... the interview, or at least the very fact it took place, is a significant event if not quite an historic one.
Such an interview with such an individual is always going to be conditional. It does however show that Putin is prepared to have some form of dialogue and that has to be significant even if you have to take the contents and context with a pinch of salt. Everything he said took place can readily be fact checked.
Comparing it to an Oprah interview with a pair of washed up wannabe celebrities trying to sell books is to do it a disservice. Ok, it wasn't so much an 'interview' as an opportunity for Putin to say his piece without tabloid interference or political bias. In this day and age, that isn't a bad thing.
The last American that Putin spoke to was probably Donald Trump. And yes it's easy to tow the narrative about whom he spoke to and why, at least there was formal conversations had on a regular basis... Keep your enemies close and all that.
Well on his way to Saarfend by now.
He said he wasn't going to invade Ukraine, that was a bit of a porky
That's why he deliberately termed the incursion as a Special Military Operation
So you admit he is a liar then?
Semantics.
An invasion supposes a complete intention to take over a country. This was an operation to expel the Ukrainian forces from the Donbass regions that had declared independence and had been recognised by the Russian parliament.
In any event, did either you or STEMO actually watch the whole interview?

Seriously?
Yes. If you state that someone has lied, you should provide an example.
Unless, of course, you rely on the BBC et al for your views...
