Yes I know you are all signed up the the Russia phobia agenda as that is what we have been feed since the 50’s but try to look beyond the Beano MSM if you can ?

Sorry, this has gnawed at me a bit...

See, this is exactly where things fall apart - who is this guy? What prominence should we give him? For whom does he speak?

You're happy to let him be the mouthpiece of the entire country without knowing two sh!ts about him.

The Maidan protest was a broad church, it even had churches in it. People died in it, and they were people like me and even you. This was not a 'Gay Parade' that needed 'protection' from the likes of our ^hero.

Imagine a similar set up with some stooge like Farage, unopposed, giving it laldy about how he'd single-handedly made Brexit happen. The western world has lived with the concept of the 'unreliable narrator' for long enough to, well, i don't even want to end that sentence...

You people think you are the Keeper of the Keys.

You. Are. Being. Played.

If you have an interest in how we find ourselves here -

- TraumaZone is endlessly fascinating.

Look at the Golden Age that Putin wishes for his country.

It looks like shit.
Thanks, will watch that later.

As I've mentioned elsewhere my wife is from ex-USSR occupied territory, so watched not quite first hand as she wasn't in Russia itself but certainly a closer witness than any of us here and the repercussions of decisions made in Moscow certainly were felt in it's old territories for a very long time. Like most people from the area she has no time for Russians, those who know them best that aren't Russian descendants themselves are almost unanimous in their opinions. Of course they grew up only seeing what was happening around themselves, they didn't have youtube to inform their decisions.

This is terrible, we hear so little now about the war in Ukraine (thanks biased bbc) cruise missile attacks are ongoing daily, but what do we hear? Nothing. Its almost like it's being forgotten about.

Today has been, probably, the greatest number of missile strikes so far.

Retaliation for the territorial losses, or regains.

"Small inaccuracies of targeting", accidental or deliberate, can be useful in gauging a potential adversary's future reaction.

The BBC ceased to be a reliable news source a good while back, particularly over things which don't fit in with the current government's agenda.


Edit - Looking at where one of the missiles landed, it does seem very remarkable that, if it was a genuine misfire, that it managed to not fall in an open field, as 99% of the area there is.

Is there an easy way to see the replys to this tweet translated into English?
Click on each individual reply and you should then get a 'Translate Tweet' option under it.

It is, as with any automated 'translation', not always 100% accurate in the full meaning.

Alternatively just enter 'Polish to English' into a Google search and you'll get translation boxes. Copy and paste the text in. Works for most languages

I wonder what “story” the MSM (ie BBC) will be telling us all in the morning ?
They will of course make no mention that Uncle Sam has told the crook in charge that he should now ask the Russkie’s to get around the table to discuss a ceasefire as the untold billions is soon to end & its odds on that he will not be happy about that.

Not what you want to hear in know. :heyhey:

I don't really want to hear it from you because your sources are far from impeccable. Not that any of it matters, because the end game if this continues is fairly predictable. We'll hum and haw and make lots of bacofoil hats and wait for that extremely bright flash on the horizon.
Game over.

I've just watched the attack scene from "Threads" and it seems the Russians main UK objectives are to destroy all Woolworths and British Home Stores branches.

I've always believed when they painted that wall blue on the side of 'Brian's Wallpapers' (the old Woolworths) it was the work of the KGB.
:P:P

I see some of the Russian collaborators are starting to disappear, while I don't condone the action you've gotta be pretty damn stupid to side with invaders who kill your neighbours then stay when the invaders retreat?

I often wonder when I see pro Russia posts from UK residents, are these the ones who'd turn on us if we suffered the same fate?

One thing is for sure, whoever fired the missile that did this was aiming it. Look at the strike area, to hit that building by accident would be rather improbable.
