I think the idea is that you posted details of an article, which sound like propaganda and won’t take any accountability for it. I wouldn't rule the article out completely. The US may well have seen what Putin is doing in the Ukraine as an opportunity to piggyback Nord Stream into the conversation....

Whether Russia is aggressive or not is an irrelevance to this situation there’s a total lack of understanding of Russia’s position with it without Putin. Russia cannot tolerate a country supplying 50% of its wheat coming under EU rule and therefore control. It also has a problem with western armed ...

I've always rated Andrew Johns as the best passer that I've seen in League. He could hit any of his outsides, across both sides of his body, without telegraphing his pass. In Rugby Union, I'd have to think hard about it. The first player that springs to mind is Stephen Larkham. Sending love out to ...

This false flag the US talks about. Its going to be a real flag isn't it... But the US will call it a false flag... and it will force Russia to attack... Either that, or it’ll be a false-false flag and Russia will be forced to invade the neighbouring sovereign nation, because of Putin’s intelligenc...

I was wondering that. Why has Russia amassed over 100k troops? How did the US manage to manipulate that to happen? You so naive…. Keep up!! - firstly, you have to understand that Putin is master strategist - secondly, America is dumb and stupid - Ukraine is not relevant - ergo, Russia is going to i...

You seem to be under the misapprehension that I am your prisoner. I know who you are. A moron desperate for others to think he’s bright.

Damn! Can someone list the 50+ countries? And why isn’t it newsworthy to mention Russia has 100k troops on the border of another country - the US comparison is bizarre. Also keen to see a list of the 800 foreign bases. I was wondering that. Why has Russia amassed over 100k troops? How did the US ma...

towny

Damn! What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None o...

I hate the cancel culture, which isn’t a new thing and it’s got nothing to do with the left or right of politics. Those that aren’t tolerant of opposing opinions have often tried to shut them down. At the extreme we’ve seen things like The Spanish Inquisition, Khmer Rouge’s killing fields, Nazism, S...

in a nutshell: Ukraine is a sovereign nation mate, Russia doesn’t get to tell them what to do. If Ukraine wants to join NATO and get closer relations with the west then that is Ukraines call. Russia is the aggressor here. There is no other way to see this. I’m baffled that you seem to be arguing th...

:thumbup: i think US do want to corner him into invading as it'll lead to russian deaths and destabilise his domestic support. Why would Russia invade if it would be a bad move for them? Do you think Putin is dumber than dirt? If Putin views it as important enough he could do it even if it had a ri...

Way behind on this one, is it war or cake? Who knows, the western countries are cleaning out their embassies but there is a definite hit job attempted through their press on Russia despite Putin being a dick. Its like they want Russia to go for it because it wont end well for Putin. :thumbup: i thi...

Can anybody point me to a good summary about what this conflict is all about? Unlike everyone else on PR, I don't know enough information to form my own opinion. Ukraine wants to be a free country, doesn't want to be under Russian influence, and is electing pro-western presidents, want's to join NA...

It wouldn't surprise me at all actually to find out that the US and allies plan is to sit back and watch 10s of 1000s of ukranians and russians die, in order that Putin loses popularity in Russia. So it’s the US’ fault if Russia invaded Ukraine? Also, you said that you could see Russia invading the...

I don't think US can take active measures against a country with a nuclear arsenal. Well then, I guess Russia, China and several others can do what they wish without fear. And yet it's only good ol USA that tells every other free country what may and may not do. I don’t understand why the countries...

There’s definitely a correlation with low intelligence and attraction to autocratic strongmen.

All I'm saying is that he won't bomb Kiev. I don't know what he will actually do, I'm just saying maybe he'll take a perimeter. Maybe he'll do something else, I don't know, but the west are saying he's going to bomb Kiev and he won't do that. I thought you said it was more likely that he’d invade f...

No Putin is not an idiot. Maybe the only leader who isn't.

I think contributing to England's impressive performance against NZ is that NZ had done the same thing. Drained so much emotional energy beating Ireland the week before and couldn't get up to the same level for England. Saw some kiwis on social media blaming the selection. They reckoned the team th...
