that says it all re his comments on A Tate

The truth is relative to Putin only in so far as he can twist it to suit his agenda. It was only after Putin invaded, and maybe 6 mths afterwards that NATO was even mentioned by Ukraine, but what was sought by Ukraine was closer ties with the EU, which Putin vehemently disagreed with, and was the reason why he invaded. NATO being the fig leaf used to cover and justify the invasion. And its wearing pretty thin by now. Even amongst Russians, who find it hard to see any benefits from the so-called SMO, but lots of hardship, with no end in sight.
russia has gutted it's bases along the Finland border to feed the meat mulcher in Ukraine. So much for the "NATO is our existential threat excuse"
Russian nationalists marching in Yekaterinberg. Shouting "only Slavs and only victory". You can be arrested for holding a blank sheet of paper but marching as Rus Nazis is given reign.
Putin began his career promoting these groups in germany. He must be so proud it's gone full circle and his own land has become the home of Nazism nowadays.
That is in Russia it seems. What is going on ?Are they worried that some of the population is disaffected as well as not supporting the war of aggression?
Is it near the border with Ukraine?Do some of the population give secret assistance to Ukraine?
EDIT: I can see it is East of Moscow….
They're still telling the Russian people that 'NATA' is out to get them. But the real reason for the invasion is that Putin is jealous of Ukraine. Simple as…
Russians still having small gains down South.
God help the poor bastards next week when 155mm shells, drones and glide bombs rain down on them, a pyrrhic victory if there ever was one.
It is very telling that there are no signs of the usual pro putin posters celebrating the capture of another village when such marginal gains of territory are matched by such massive losses of manpower and military equipment. They must know by now that even with the Ukrainians pulling back a bit in places they no longer have the resources to make any significant progress from a change in the front lines. It seems now that the kremlin script is just repetitive insincere calls for peace so putin can claim to have achieved something with his policies of genocide and terrorism.
It's senseless literally senseless. No normal human would allow or encourage the senseless butchery in Ukraine except a psychopath. The russian serfs are being led by a psychopath the bit will be paid through the nose.
Yeh, and instead of troops Russia is shipping hundreds of migrants up to the border instead to start a 'they took ur jerbs' itch among those so inclined to believe such nonsense.
Theres a Pulitzer book in one of those poor bastards too if they are allowed to survive the mulcher
Twitter threads on the Russian regime using african and middle eastern migrants as human distractions, monetarily, physical and mental distractions for the EU to deal with.
The narrative is changing. The inevitable is here. Money is flooding away from him.
A Russian tank built in the 60's, with no ammo, main gun is disabled, turret can't rotate, driver can barely see, reactive armor blocks empty, turtled with armor to be drone proof - disabled by a drop-drone
Rostov tonight
Zero empathy for the dead, it means nothing to him.
That's some crater
another massive russian strike on ukranian power grid system
surely its time the ukranians hit russian city power grids too
if people in moscow go cold it wont be long before they grow sick of the war
wonder what that nasty orange stuff was.
Ammonium nitrate. Same as the Beirut explosion a few years ago.
It was formerly a farm, and that shed had been used to store fertiliser, as well as the adjoining sheds storing Russian explosives. Great combination !!
all that matters is could the war have been avoided and will be a negative for the European economy, yes to both
Nitric acid I think?
Booster chinese rocket falling on a village in China with the same orange emissions.
what’s that all about ?
Asking and answering your own questions is a cowards way out silverharp.
Own your russian support.
Chinese space program. And no care given for safety of the locals.
So you won't comment on if Russia is committing genocide? That's saying a lot cause it's pretty fundamental to any concept of peace.
