The what now? Countries/governments do not wall off things separately from each other like that. I am not following how it has anything to do with NATO being a defensive alliance or not?
Turkey/Erdogan deciding to bar the Swedes and Finns from entering NATO is an unfriendly act towards both of them, and also towards majority of EU members [who are also in NATO + want to see (and have already approved) expansion].
When it comes to setting EU policies towards Turkey in future that will be remembered by more members than just Sweden or Finland, especially if it's the permanent Turkish policy to block them (as seems possible to me given, as I said in the post, I think it likely Erdogan is going nowhere).
Didn’t you say this last spring/summer already? I may be wrong.
Also, I wonder when that protest in Prague was held - the watermark in the picture says "2022", and the folks don't look like they're dressed for February.
Is Stormfront blocked or banned? It's a sewer of propaganda, hate, racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia. If it was so dangerous we'd all be goose stepping around the place, beating up LGBTQ+ people and torching Chinese restaurants and Indian corner shops. People can make up their own minds. Well some can.
It’s part of russian culture to blatantly lie, it’s a show of strength
You can’t just turn on your tv and switch channel to stormfromt. That is the major difference. To get to stormfront you have to be looking specifically for its content. I’ve never visited the website or even seen a link to it. The vast majority are the same. However, I have flicked through the tv stations and come across channels.
Like we didn't invade Ukraine we redrew the border maps and it turns out parts of Ukraine are in Russia who knew.....
Honestly....
Well Zelensky did try to hold peace talks and negotiate with Putin as early as April, I believe, but he was blocked by Western governments.
It's a blog post. He provides absolutely zero evidence and what he alleges doesn't stand up to fact checking. He could say aliens destroyed it, but obviously his sources are confidential so he can't actually prove it.
Now that would be ridiculous and everyone would laugh at him, but if he said the US were working with the aliens... Well then a certain cohort will latch on to that.
He also has a history and lying, but of course he's telling the truth now of course?
I'll bet if he was pointing the finger at the Russians you would call him out as the liar he is?
Not true at all
You know I don't think I have heard anyone refer to Stormfront in "real life"...It's American I think. I don't think it is funded by a foreign govt. (?) or specifically created by one to spread disinformation though.
Just because USA go a bit (well maybe very) overboard vs most of the rest of the West and allow harmful + hateful stuff to be spread about internally as part of "free speech" does not mean we or they have to bend over with our pants around our ankles so Russia and China can inject us with their brands of poison via state media.
No this is simply untrue.
He was not blocked by western governments. He had no mandate to trade territory for peace and strongly doubted that Russia would abide by any agreement. Western governments such as UK likewise strongly doubted Russia would abide by any treaty given how many times they broke previous treaties.
Isn't your post the definition of "whataboutery".
Not if Russia cite it as a reason for invasion. It is hypocrisy and lies.
I actually DID miss the part where Putin threatened Europe over and over with nuclear obliteration. What did he say? When and how often? If you could show me then I'd appreciate it.
As for your question......I don't answer "have you stopped beating your wife?" questions.
Can you access stormfront.org?
Can you access rt.com?
Why are the west drip feeding weapons to Ukraine? Why not give them everything they need at once to win?
Oh we'll give them tanks this month. Next month we'll give them missile defence systems, the month after we'll give them fighter jet training. Oh there's a 10th round of sanctions too!
I heard them say on sky news yesterday that the fighter jet training that the UK announced yesterday for Ukraine takes 5 years!
Any actual evidence of Russian involvement = 0
Meanwhile US official states and i quote
“Like you, I am, and I think the administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea,”
With Blinken adding
And ultimately this is also a tremendous opportunity. It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs. That’s very significant and that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come.
Just saying
Do you have any evidence to share to make your belief any way believable?
Example A
It doesn't matter a fig who's funding anything. The issue is about blocking content that is deemed propaganda, lies and hate.
Can you access rt.com and can you access stormfront.org. If you're going to block one for the reasons given then you should block the other. That is of course if the reasons for blocking are actually those stated.
But it's not just a blog post. It's a blog post that gets reactions from many major news outlets like The Times, Der Spiegel or Reuters. All busy spending more words on how he is controversial and how Washington denies than on the actual story. Funny that, but not surprising.
However, I actually agree insofar as unless you got a story you can prove all you've got is a story.
But its a plausible story and it fits what we learned so far and with Biden's remarks and with the remarkable publicly displayed disinterest from Germany and other EU/NATO countries to get to the bottom of and comment on the actual sabotage act. Parliamentary question stonewalled because national security etc blabla. That certainly wouldn't happen if it was clear it was Russia.
Who knows, maybe the proof is yet to come, he does claim his source was directly involved. But how do you prove it. The source cannot reveal themselves, Assange can testify to that.
Do you know why the Sun rag isn't sold in any shops in Liverpool? Because they spread the sickening lies that Liverpool supporters as young as 10 were all drunk and rifling through the pockets of dead supporters lying on the pitch.
Wouldnt be the first time Russia cut off its nose to spite their face eg see what they did to billions worth of passenger planes.
The US can be gratified at Russia scoring an own goal without them having a hand in it.
So your saying the russian TV channel that has been blocked is also a sewer of propaganda, hate, racism, antisemitism, homophobia and transphobia so should be allowed free broadcasting just like a website I have never heard of?
On first reading I thought you were talking about the Stormont assembly up north and was very surprised to see the politicians there were like that. Don't really think the argument that something else that is evil is not banned is a good enough reason for nothing to be done about something that is clearly spreading missinformation and all those negative things you list.
Don’t worry, at least one of your other previous accounts saw the threats linked in this thread.
You seem afraid of the answer you’d arrive at.
I don’t have either as a tv channel
David Gilmore response less than complimentary.
Dave is the reason people went to see them, as much as Roger hates to admit it.
The russian psyche thinks it's clever. The initiated observer however is able to conclude the truth by using the projection rule.
In this part of the world we may say who smelt it, dealt it. In the russian mind however the rule is if we say they dealt it, then those those stupid foreigners will never suspect that we dealt it. Thus back to this part of the world one can figure out the truth by the projection rule. 😁😎
