The news that there were another 534 yesterday ........
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
If it does, its likely that Putin will then carry on into other countries, hoping to rebuild his beloved USSR.
Cobblers. He not only doesn't have the resources, but why would he even want to acquire a bunch of pseudo-liberal shitholes, full of illegal immigrants? (Which pretty much describes all Western countries now). Plus the fact he has never said he wanted to re-establish the USSR. It's simply absurd.
Russia has all it needs in terms of resources, plus the fact that it is a cohesive society with strong family values and patriotism (like the UK I grew up in once had).
This 'dangle berries' about carrying on into other countries is deliberate scare-mongering put out by the globalists and their puppet media. It represents a barrier to the dreams (nightmares!) of a WEF-controlled world. Just look at which Western leaders are part of that cult: Zelensky, Trudeau, Sunak, Mordaunt...the list goes on and on.
America (under Biden) is a far greater threat to humanity. Why had it established 12 CIA stations in Ukraine, along with several bio-labs? Why did Nuland orchestrate the coup in 2014?
As for my view, I want the UK to return to being a traditional conservative country. The extreme right-wing nationalists in Western Ukraine, with their SS emblems on their fatigues, are an anathema to me...and should be to anyone that lost family members in WW2.
I just caused some embarrassment on my walk with the dog. As my wife says, I would cause an argument in a telephone box
On Grimethorpe muckstack, there are loads of lovely conifers that have been growing for about 20 years, just starting to look full and smell lovely. They're cutting them down! When I asked why, I was told they shouldn't have been planted in the first place, they are an invasive species. What about these twáțs who come over on boats? I asked. They're an invasive species, are we gonna chop their fùckin legs off?
Silence. I walked off.
Nearly all of which are young men of fighting age. Where are the women and children and old people?
When I did the 6-2, 2-10, 10-6 shifts, we were sometimes asked to cover for someone who hadn't turned up, so a 16 hour shift. You would get time and a half for the second 8 hours and, because you had to turn up again 8 hours later for your normal shift, time and a half again. You can manage it when you're young, I'd have no chance now.My nights are 15 hours though.
I did shift work all of my working life and legally we had to have a clear 11 hours rest time between shifts, so a maximum shift of 13 hours.
On some jobs you can sign away that right, but we were bound by the rules.
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.
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, as he answered a request for help from the Russian-speaking populations of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts who had suffered 14,000 deaths from bombing by Kiev between 2014 and 2021.
Talking of lies, declassified documents show security assurances against NATO expansion to given to Soviet leaders [following German reunification] from Baker, Bush, Genscher, Kohl, Gates, Mitterrand, Thatcher, Hurd, Major, and Woerner. That collective lie led to all this.
Oh, and the Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 Accords (which would have kept Ukraine intact) were guaranteed by France and Germany but they later admitted that they had no intention of honouring the Accords. So they effectively lied.
And, of course, following the initial incursion by 70,000 Russian troops, Ukraine initialed the Istanbul Agreement which, again, would have kept Ukraine intact. As part of that, Russia agreed as a goodwill gesture to withdraw troops from Kiev. Unfortunately, Johnson flew to Kiev and told Zelensky not to sign, but to fight Russia instead. Very bad move.
Had the Minsk Accords and the Istanbul Agreement been honoured, Donbass would have remained part of Ukraine, albeit with autonomy governing language, religion etc.
In a little mitigation, Zelensky has been under pressure from the Nazi element within Western Ukrainian society. These openly display the Nazi salute and have tattoos of Hitler and the Waffen SS.
My late parents both served in WW2 against Nazism. I honour their memory by similarly opposing Nazism in Ukraine.
You won't find all that on the BBC.
However, in 2015 (following the coup of 2014), Consortium News reported: "The U.S. House of Representatives has admitted an ugly truth that the U.S. mainstream media has tried to hide from the American people that the post-coup regime in Ukraine has relied heavily on Nazi storm troopers to carry out its bloody war against ethnic Russians, reports Robert Parry."

Cheaper than fixing the car security perhaps?
We have a load of young Moroccans in our Spanish lessons classes. Their views are quite horrific. Women are inferior and certainly not and never will be equal. When we walk on the street two Moroccans swagger along and own the pavement. They cannot go to discos - either sexes so the young men just hang around looking good ( they are well dressed).
Varche, we have the same problem here in a town called Sa Pobla.
As you know, Sunday is a very important day for the Spanish and the wives and families walk around the square and have socialised for centuries NOT anymore in "the village". The Spanish wives have stopped going there because these ass***** are ogling them walking around in their Sunday best.
You will never see that fact in the media!! True! Effing ass*****!
Whoa! Oly, you nailed it on the head there! Best analogy I have read in this forum for a long time!I am Scottish and follow with intense interest the stramash that is occurring up there .
We are all getting blase about all this crap spouting from the house on the Thames!
Here in Scotland it is getting even worse! Damn SNP is full of them. First minister? give us a break! AND they love him ffs,
I weep!
