There’s an interesting piece in today’s Daily Telegraph that the Russian military’s OPSEC and COMSEC is so poor that civilians, NATO, and the Ukranian military are getting raw, unencoded, clear traffic SIGINT.

Falkirk East MSP Michelle Thomson’s tweet referred to Ukraine’s application for EU membership on Monday as she posted it “just goes to show what political will can achieve. Remember this Scotland!”
The tweet, which has now been deleted, was a retweet of a post that showed Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky signing an application membership for Ukraine to be in the European Union.

‘Unreal’: Constituents’ fury grows 50 days after Ferrier broke Covid rules

Rutherglen business owners and residents feel frustrated and stranded by MP’s refusal to resign

s.t, if the EU fast-track Ukraine to EU membership and Putin threatens the EU as a result, I think the EU will fold pretty much instantly. That will mean Russia occupying France, 20,000 refugees in small boats per annum crossing the Channel turning into 2 million refugees a month in big ships. The French military will not like a surrender order from Germany and will probably want to fight but maybe not. They have nuclear weapons and someone may just get their hands on one in the French military.
Poland and the Visigrads will leave the EU but Putin will rule Europe and Beijing will rule the rest of the world. Beijing Biden will dither ….
Mr Cable said in a statement that he asked the network not to broadcast the interview and that he ‘totally condemned’ the Russian invasion.
Bim Afolami (Con, Hitchen and Harpenden) condemned Mr Cable for his appearance, unaware perhaps of his colleagues’ repeated appearances on the network since 2014.
David Davies (Con, Monmouth), parliamentary under-secretary of State for Wales, appeared twice between December 2016 and March 2017. He raked in £750 for each appearance.
Mr Davies said that Sam Delaney’s News Thing gave him a ‘fair chance’ to express his views on Brexit, something he claimed was denied to him by the BBC.
Between his appearances, a US intelligence report dated January 2017 said RT and the Sputnik, the government-controlled news agency, were key influencers used by the Russians in the US election of 2016.
Meanwhile, Simon Danczuk (formally Lab, Rochdale) received two payments of £750 each for appearing between October 2016 and February 2017.In 2016 the channel was reprimanded over its coverage of the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds.

LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) – Sanctions imposed on Russia have significantly increased the chance of the country defaulting on its dollar- and other international market government debt, analysts at JPMorgan and elsewhere warned on Wednesday.
Russia has over $700 million worth of government bond payments due this month. While in theory it has ample reserves to cover debt, in practice a freeze on some assets and other measures could affect its ability to make payments.

Defaulting ??? Bet the Germans are paying Russia in hard currency for their gas.

“A lone police officer was set upon by a group of violent thugs who bundled him to the ground before raining down kicks on him.”
The footage is grainy, but somehow I doubt the thugs had names like Smith and Jones.
Not surprising, then, that the BBC aren’t reporting the story.
I’m sure the judge will give the officer in question a stern talk about unconscious racism, white privilege or islamophobia.

No, Sarah, BIDEN is complicit, as it’s HIS imbecilic policies that are forcing us to buy Russian oil and gas.

I think that’s a little too simplistic, and the bigger picture is more relevant, and that is the Green lunacy which the Left are following. Biden in America, and nearly every country in Europe. Boris has done the same here and we are witnessing the cost to every household in rising energy bills.
I posted a link from Reuters a few days ago outlining that the amount of gas being imported cannot be made up from other sources.
The fact is that Trump warned the German Socialists that they were making themselves vulnerable and they carried on regardless, closing alternative power generation and now 55% of their gas comes from Russia.
The UK has announced today it will no longer be buying Russian gas or oil, and seeing as Russia is the number 2 oil producer, you can expect to see prices rising as well as shortages.
Rationing of certain goods is not beyond imagination at this point.

It is becoming painful to watch, after Putins lies about a so called “peacekeeping mission” and now relentlessly bombing civilians.
He needs to be hunted down and put on trial or just taken out.
“Full-scale genocide’ unfolds in Mariupol where mayor says ’15 hours of shelling’ has left ‘hundreds dead’: Putin steps up attacks on cities as terrifying video captures Ukrainian cheating death when missile slams into tower block
Russia has renewed its attack on Ukraine today, with military saying that fighting is underway ‘on all fronts’
Mariupol, in the south, has been under bombardment non-stop for 15 hours with ‘hundreds’ dead, official said
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city, has come under renewed bombing as video captures building being blown up
Kherson, also in the south, had been overrun by Putin’s forces which also surrounded a nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia amid reports they had opened fire on civilian guards”.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10567943/Putins-paratroopers-land-Kharkiv.html
Hitler wanted a unified peaceful europe!
“peacekeeping mission”
Just for your information, despite the sanctions Putins approval rating has risen not fallen to over 70%! You seriously think anyone is going to hunt him down and kill him with that kind of support?
Meanwhile in Britain the cowardly Prime Minister has the opposite approval rating and the cowardly useless incompetent Tory party can’t even bring themselves to get shot of him !
Putin wants peace, a piece of Ukraine
There can be little excuse for the mayhem Putin is wreaking in Ukraine but it might be worth considering that maybe from a Russian perspective he can foresee the coming of EU-ification of not only the Ukraine but Russia itself if he does nothing, if so heavily complicit in this piece are the Globalists in the EU who have basically forced his hand in their quest for eventual global domination. In which case his actions in the Ukraine can be compared to those taken in D-day along with the French civilian lives lost in the execution of it.
You can poke a dog with a stick for so long until it bites back.
Could be way off but it’s a train of thought worth considering even if rejected out of hand.
Interestingly we have a local equivalent of what is happening in Ukraine in our own backyard where contingents similar to the Ukrainian President in both Scotland and Wales would wish to see EU domination and influence on our own lands right up to the English border and would therefore welcome EU oversight and eventual rule in their regions. This might make you see Putin’s actions in a rather different light!
“Mir” can mean world, village or peace in Russian so, as the old joke has it, you need to be careful when they say they want peace.
I guess the Russians would counter that Mariupol is where the Ukrainian Azov Battalion is, and claim they have been shelling the Russians separatist regions for the last 8 years.
They’re the guys, rightly or wrongfully that Russia is attacking to “de-Nazify Ukraine”.
Both sides claim the other won’t let civilians leave the area.
I was surprised to read the latest claims of attempted genocide. Thank you Eddy for giving them some perspective which we will not get from our media now.

There was a bit of casual pro-Biden bias in, of all places, the Archers on R4 this evening.
An older man called Leonard, who seems to be an item with Jill Archer now, was discussing forming an Ambridge OAPs / seniors cricket team. He said in passing that Joe Biden was much sharper than a lot of people of his age (79, will be 80 in November).
Apart from the fact that “sharp” isn’t an adjective I’d associate with old Joe, why did the BBC feel the need to put this line in? To combat the clear impression that people will have of someone too old for the job of US President?

I see Tucker Carlson has been left with egg on his face over the Ukraine invasion, but instead of admitting he got it wrong he’s doubled down and claimed that Ukrainse isn’t a democracy anyway. He has also spoken out about Canada taking RT off air.
Here’s a piece from MSNBC analysing what on Earth Tucker Carlson is up to:
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/real-reason-tucker-carlson-supports-russia-s-putin-n1290153
I’m guessing I am going to agree with Tucker
and that you might be influenced by wacky conspiracy sites.
Tucker last night warned us not to believe media straight off
“You can believe some of it, Putin really did invade Ukraine and that is BAD,
Putin’s invasion destabilises Europe
thanks to the recklessness of our leaders we could end up in a war with Russia”
“but beyond that be very wary, cos there is an awful lot of lying going on.
Monday “no sane american approves of what russia has done in ukraine
we certainly don’t and we don’t know anyone who does
On twitter you see democrats pretending that their political opponents are responsible for the invasion and somehow support it
so joe biden and his staff so mismanaged the world that vladimir putin invades ukraine
after biden told us for months he could prevent that from happening
and yet all of it is YOUR FAULT ..that’s a slanderous lie
In this country virtually everyone understands that the invasion of ukraine is bad
it’s bad for us and for the world and vladimir putin is bad too
So effectively in america those are settled facts we can stop debating them
The question is what do we do next
Vladimir putin’s badness doesn’t absolve us of our responsibility to think clearly
about how to protect this country and the rest of the free world in that order
In fact putin’s badness makes wise decision-making in the united states more important than ever
and yet at the same time it makes wise decision making harder to achieve
it’s not easy to see the long view when you’re angry
A writer called tanner greene wrote a piece this morning which you should read it’s entitled pausing at the precipice grier began by pointing out that russia has obviously earned our contempt most americans now despise vladimir putin that’s understandable, they’re outraged
but moral outrage is not enough moral outrage is not a foreign policy in fact greene warns moral outrage can be counterproductive
here’s the downside quote
\\ a righteous reaction may be a dangerous one in the field of power politics it is outcomes not intentions that matter most failure to slow down and examine the assumptions and motivations behind our choices may lead to decisions that feel right in the moment but fail to safeguard our interests secure our values or reduce the human toll of war in the long run//
Exactly nicely put another way to express it would be this our leaders could easily turn this tragic and volatile moment into an historic disaster they’ve done it before
…”
I listened to that piece by Tucker and came away thinking that he strongly condemned Putin and was very worried about how someUS politicians were calling for no fly zones and seemingly wanted to confront Russia with direct military action. The risk of escalation to nuclear exchanges is too great. I agree with him entirely. I’m afraid that very sadly Ukraine isn’t worth such a risk.
Arriving an hour late for the Stop the War rally, Corbyn might have hoped it would at least go smoothly after his best mate John McDonnell dropped out over Labour’s threat to withdraw the whip. Guido was on hand however to catch the astonishing moment a pro-Ukrainian protestor was kicked out by high-vis jacketed organisers, as Corbyn sat on and watched.
order-order.om
Just about nails the madness
I think I might finally have some understanding of what Putins aims and objectives are in Ukraine and they are not as insane or ilogical as had been suggested.
It is pretty complex, but here is an overview.
The first and over riding main objective is a land bridge to Crimea from Russia. Currently Russia which annexed Crimea can only access it by sea and so they want a land link, but the Ukrainian city Mariupol is in the way.
Putin knows Ukraine has a half decent defence force so it’s attacked many cities with poor quality troops & kit pinning those troops down away from the main objective.
Allowing the Ukrainian goverment to remain in power would treaten the land bridge in the future, so they absolutely need to get Zelinsky.
Once they have the land bridge established they will withdraw from the other cities to reinforce and defend it.
“Crimea can only access it by sea and so they want a land link”
That’s #FakeNews
.. Putin spent billions building a huge 19Km bridge shortly after invading it
it opened 15 May 2018.
The parallel rail bridge opened Jun 30, 2020.
A bridge is highly vulnerable to attack, a single bomb can knock it out and we know Putin has been wanting a land based link to his annexed Crimea.
I knew the bridge existed, most people do.
BTW a single bomb could block a highway too.
Yes, but the highway would be open again the same day.
Easy to sabotage a 19km bridge for weeks or months.
I’m still convinced it’s all because Russia wants a land buffer along their border against NATO and the EU. Right down the Dneiber would be the perfect place for them to hold up any land assault. And I absolutely believe the ‘United States of Europe’ could eventually become their biggest threat.
Pug
Oligarchs are just people with more economic and political clout than elected representatives. In the Western World they tell us what to think and say via their control of the mass media, the judiciary and education. They are not liberators.
BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – oh oh, Sleepy Joe is talking tough
TWatO Watch #1 – who?
The reason why I think the world is in a dangerous place with the Russian invasion of Ukraine is that Beijing Biden is making statements that can only be backed up by military force. Once you get into US v Russia (or UK v Russia, for that matter) conflict then the stakes get ramped ever higher.
What we do know is that there’s no danger of EU v Russia. The EU would fold if Vlad Putin said “Booo!” in a loud voice. I note that the Russian interviewed by the Montacutie on TWatO today suggested Mrs Merkel as a Peace Negotiator. Hah! It was the EU that got the whole Russia v Ukraine thing going eight years ago.

Hello Stew
I watched some TV from the Irish Republic a few weeks back, and the tv adverts came on. I saw a family and they were all white.
Seriously what is going on in Ireland
Obviously racists.
How do you know that white family weren’t actually Romanian immigrants? Or Albanians? Or ‘Irish Travellers’ (those poor, long suffering victims of oppression that would never, ever steal your dog and then offer to ransom it back to you for £Ks while the police watch closely for any evidence of racism on your part)?
Seriously, one of the most ridiculous things in the entirely ludicrous ‘race industry’ is the assumption that there are only two ‘races’ black (poor, exploited, disadvantaged) and white (wealthy, exploitative, privileged)… has no one ever told them ‘it’s not all black and white’?!
Some new all-in BARB BBC3 figs:

I see yet another BBC presenter is in court on charges of paedophillia:

BBC Radio DJ Mark Page, 63, ‘flew to the Philippines to have sex with girl, 13, sent graphic messages about what he wanted and asked a girl, 14, to carry out sex acts on a 12-year-old’, court hears
Nothing changes at the corporation.
As I said on Tuesday.. It’s an ongoing court case
and Mark Page like anyone deserves due process.
The first thing that comes out is the prosecution case
only after does the defence case come in.
I’ll reserve judgement until its all out.
The cases seem to be well after Page left the BBC.
https://zeenews.india.com/india/why-do-indian-students-choose-ukraine-for-medical-studies-2441072.html
“According to data from Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science, around 80,000 international students study in Ukraine with Indians making up about a quarter of the total foreign students.
Most of the Indian students in Ukraine are pursuing medical studies
Here’s why
The tuition fees of private medical colleges in Ukraine is cheaper in comparison to colleges in India.
The Ukrainian colleges are even recognised by the World Health Council …., European Council of Medicine and General Medical Council of the United Kingdom, among others.
No entrance exam
Indian students choose Ukraine also because several famous medical schools don’t take an entrance exam to provide a seat. Recently, Union parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi had also stated that about 90% of Indians who study medicine abroad fail to clear qualifying exams in India.”
And I wonder ( not ) where they go after they ‘ qualify as doctors ‘ !

That accords with my theory about the quality of some third world NHS medical ‘professionals ‘ – particularly the reluctance of the UK to vett them for fear of ‘racism ‘….
Noticiable how many ‘medical students ‘ have been running for the train rather than staying to help with casualties – I guess there’s no money in it .
The video below is definitely not for everyone. It’s a very long, very comprehensive examination of the war in Ukraine by an expert.
But If anyone has a lot of time on their hands and wants a deep dive into the current situation – including the historical background – it’s one of the best analyses I’ve come across.
Not really the BBC
I like to think forward . I try to gather information to see how events will effect me personally – as well of course – my country .
So news that the price of oil has hot €130 a barrel – a 10 year high – sets the alarm going for the economy – even before Ukraine I thought a recession is coming – I’m a natural pessimist so can never be disappointed .
But with oil and gas prices Sky high – the future prospect for our economy is grave – yet alone if the war escalates . Sunak s face at PMQ looked grave yesterday – I think I can guess why .
Blighty will be upping money spent on defence bigly . The days of cutting military budgets is gone for the foreseeable future – unless Russia ends putin and his people .
So folks – it’s grim . I also fear another bout of panic buying – but that’s my assessment – there’s no evidence of this .
However – maybe the pressure to end the Green Crap will be overwhelming – but there will be a time during which our energy costs are truly gonna be painful – however much ‘support ‘ the ‘state ‘ provides …
Thoughts appreciated – particularly a more optimistic view.
STOP PRESS
hilarious – the Olympic mafia has had to reverse its’ decision to allow Russians to compete in their games – looks like money – bribes – don’t always achieve a result …
The Birmingham erdington by election is today . A loon coloured labour candidate will be elected . Her recorded comments should have got her removed by the Labour Party –
But if labour keeps electing rubbish it will never get power ….and be even worse than the current lot .
I personally think this Ukraine thing will end with Russia in the right-half, the USA and UK will breathe a sigh of relief and the EU will be bitter and spiteful about it for years as they think that country is theirs. But everything will go quickly back to normal.
Meanwhile ‘net zero’ after COVID is going to send us on an economic downward spiral as the incredible cost is shifted onto us in taxes etc while select individuals (and of course politicians they are involved with) will profit massively from it. Meanwhile our society will continue to disintegrate as a result of the Left wing agenda of the MSM + BBC.
At least with Russia we know what we are dealing with. The Ukraine invasion was absolutely expected. I worry what will happen when China eventually makes it’s moves. They do not think the same way we do. You can be sure Russia won’t be on our side.

In view of the non intervention of the US in Europe it may well be that china goes for Taiwan quicker eh ? Maybe they’ll do it after the olympics – so April ?
I’m sure Xi Jinping is taking notes and counting missiles as we speak.
Taiwan should be gone by the summer, and any misguided thoughts of independence stamped out through a program of ‘re-education’ camps, summary executions, and torture… sorry, peacefully reintegrated into the happy, celestial, world-spanning and eternal, Middle Kingdom where it so clearly belongs, and always has (so shutup now).
Meanwhile, we’ll continue to be subjected to some senile, impotent old man in the white house shaking his fist, grimacing, and spouting angry, nonsensical words about pigeons on his lawn.
Thank you Vlad. Lasted the whole hour and forty minutes. Well worth it.
Today watch
Not really the BBC – but the EU .
It seems all that green crap is being dumped for a while in the face of bidding wars on fuel supplies . They had some EU senior slime bag on casually telling us that the EU strategy of being dependant on Russia was ‘wrong ‘
Usually very loud green crap voices enter stage left at this time – but I think mental school girls might be out of favour for a while – particularly when those gas and electricity bills start arriving in April ….
It will be interesting how quickly nuclear and coal power stations are fired up again . ….. and whether the UK ever gets to build more nuclear stations
How much do the Russians pay to get BBC services ? Just asking for someone who will never get a TV licence ….
The Soviet Union became the first country to abolish TV licensing in 1961, having previously used a subscription-type service. So, perhaps a bit more progressive than we sometimes think 🙂
The irony of only getting news about the the bbc giving news about bbc friends, on the bbc.
Not newsworthy.
Likely the same as those arranging random rocket launches at civilian areas, lobbing gays off roofs, etc…
About the same odds as a certain former labour leader circa 2003, I’d say.
Shoot for the moon edition
Yesterday the BBC online news headlines tested new semantic boundaries suggesting the: ‘…. invasion intensifies...’
This morning, six days in, we’re informed the war is still on: ‘… Russian assault continues‘ (BBC)
So what’s the state of play in this war? Let’s have a look at the all-important graphics…
“War in Ukraine” has seized first tab position on the BBC news home page with the plucky “Coronavirus” still stubbornly holding out in the key second tab position, ahead of the perennial “Climate” but watch that space for some new world ordering soon.
Speaking of space – economic sanctions are beginning to bite – to bite us here in the UK: ‘Kremlin holds British satellites hostage… 36 satellites owned by the British taxpayer… the Russian state space agency is refusing to go ahead with a scheduled launch‘ (Telegraph) – really, the Ruskies, reticent about launching a rocket?; ‘Turmoil in oil market as prices for benchmark crude hit eight-year high‘ (FT)
Kudos to the ‘i’ newspaper for my favourite headline this morning – in fact really it is only a sports news feature – tangentially connected to the big war news: ‘Last days of Roman. Abramovitch forced to sell Chelsea‘ The Daily Star was thinking along the same lines – although since we’re celebrating the first confirmed western victory in this war: ‘End of Roman empire‘
Matt in the Telegraph has drawn a cartoon couple pouring over the household expenses: “I’ve done the sums and we can either fill the car with petrol or buy Chelsea Football Club”
Hamish McRea in the ‘i’ tries to keep up western morale – which we sense may soon be flagging: ‘How the West can win economic war‘
Speaking of flagging – the red top Daily Mirror is still flying the old yellow and blue on its masthead. As does the Express.
Speaking of morale – the Times and the Express suggest Russian troops are already disheartened. That’s as maybe. They held out bravely against Napoleon’s Grande Armée, most notably they battled doggedly against German invasion when our original archetypal bad man promised his generals they need only kick in the door. They even endured Afghanistan for a decade in the 1980s. However, according to our press they’ve had enough already: ‘Dejected Russian PoWs say: We’re cannon fodder‘ the poor chap is photographed, oddly enough, holding a mobile phone despite: ‘Demoralised. Handcuffed Russian prisoner held in Ukraine‘ (Express)
‘Putin’s commanders will be hunted down for war crimes, says Raab… “They need to know there is a very real chance that they will face the dock of a court in the Hague and a jail cell”‘ (Telegraph) – but isn’t the use of PoWs for propaganda puposes likewise somewhat contrary to the Geneva Convention? – if that’s still a thing these days – what with International Law and Universal Human Rights and all?
Nearly a week in this must be time for war-weary journos to have their spirits lifted by the award of a few award prizes.
The giveaway Metro claims the Battle of Britain people’s prize for most blatant Blitz analogy this morning: ‘Their finest hour‘ – they drop the ball somewhat with their news element of the story which is similar to the BBC’s war continues: ‘A week on from Russian invasion, Ukriane still stands‘ – just for comparison the 1939 German invasion of Poland took 35 days – and that with the help of the Russians coming in from the east.
Let’s give the Jesse Owens special award in honour of black people making a mark deep in the heart of europe, to those intrepid Guardian writers for discovering a race angle to the big war story: ‘Far right. Polish nationalists attack African refugees at border‘ – word to the wise, Guardianistas – scratch the surface and some of these Ukrainian nationalists are fairly “far right” you know.
Opening our next golden envelope the Brussels gold star nomination goes to the FT – a clear winner, a country mile (sorry a kilometer) ahead of the pack on this one: ‘The war in Ukraine marks an end to Brexit illusions‘
Pet news: ‘Our cat’s got long covid‘ (Daily Star) – I can imagine the symptoms – lying around sleeping half the day – our media, eh? One may find it difficult to see through all the propaganda obscuring the true facts on the ground but if it’s in the papers it must all be true: ‘Spider ate my todger‘ (Daily Star)
The thing to remember is that when broadcaster media says something is something, it is.
Sorry, I just slipped.

Does the trade descriptions act cover the phrase brilliant and hilarious?
Just asking
It is interesting how supposedly sophisticated communicators fall down when they are not propagandising news but producing in house propaganda.
That bizarre bbc love bomb recently… now this…
Then there is bbc staff pushing bbc pr pushing the bbc…
One area the bbc can be trusted in is omission, when required.
Irony overload.
Piercey has been going more mental than usual about Russian propaganda, which is admittedly dire, but using stuff straight out of WW1 posters to decry it.

Egypt calls for BBC boycott amid dispute over critical report

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s government press centre called on Tuesday for Egyptian officials and prominent individuals to boycott the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) after a report on human rights it said was “flagrantly fraught with lies”.
Putin lays out a 40 mile target which no one can shoot at.

Old dummy vehicles?

That video is a good example of what the BBC give their useless quota-fillers to do.
It’s like a project someone invented for 6th formers. And not a single white male in it.
God knows what these people would do if they had to fend for themselves. Probably die of thirst while wandering around looking for a starbucks.
Ukraine conflict: Donations pile high at London centre

Here’s an unusual video on the BBC : not a single BAME to be seen.
The reason is obvious of course : they couldn’t choose the people in it themselves.
The delegation of the European Union (EU) to Kenya has denied reports of discrimination against Africans levelled at member states bordering Ukraine.
More than 200 Kenyans were stranded in Ukraine because of Russia’s invasion, a press release from the bloc stated.

I guess Kenya doesn’t do ´women and children first ´ then …?
I’m not sure whether this is a racist observation, or simply noting a cultural difference: probably both, if I’m honest. The Ukranian people, almost to a man, are sending the women and children to safety while the menfolk are determined to do what needs to be done. These “visitors” want whatever they can beg, steal or borrow from their adoptive homes but will head out of town the minute they are called upon to return the favour. That is why the Poles don’t want them. I imagine they will be heading our way on an rnli lifeboat any day soon. “women and children first” only applies above kebab shops in any English town you care to name.
Toady -not bias – just incompetence
At the end bit of ´today´ they put in a bit with the ex UK ambo to Russia . He was asked to speculate on the putin end game . So he did .
But the exchange was cut short so that the BBC could put out a charity appeal . ( to fund Milliband seniors salary )
Briefly the ambo said putin would be ended by a palace coup within the next 3 years – but the ambo wasn’t allowed the time to fully explain his answer .
Only the current BBC could be so incompetent….
Tomorrow we will be hearing about labour landslide as John dromey ( deceased ) is replaced by another labour coloured female loon who is happy to tell audiences how she subverts the ´democrat´ system … popcorn ?
If Russia secures the Eastern half of Ukraine and then everything returns to normal, Putin will be a hero in Russia and around for a lot longer.
I’m sure the West know that and know their best chance to get rid of him is to prolong the war and make it bloody while making sure he personally is painted as responsible for every death.
I’m not saying that is their motive, but it will definitely factor in their decisions.
Anyone know how it actually works over there ?. Can Putin simply start a war on his own ?. I can’t believe that is the case.
JohnC
You’re missing out the effect of the ongoing economic war against putin / Russia .
It’s difficult to guess how much damage Russian people will experience / take in the coming days or weeks . ….
As the putin ~ the politicians are nodding donkeys so he can do what he wants knowing decisions will be ´ratified ´…
… but the Russian military …? Unknown …. Maybe they need a staffenburg

Feb 4 (Reuters) – Russia has agreed a 30-year contract to supply gas to China via a new pipeline and will settle the new gas sales in euros, bolstering an energy alliance with Beijing amid Moscow’s strained ties with the West over Ukraine and other issues.
Gazprom , which has a monopoly on Russian gas exports by pipeline, agreed to supply Chinese state energy major CNPC with 10 billion cubic metres of gas a year, the Russian firm and a Beijing-based industry official said.

Stonehenge linked to Egypt!
Does anyone at the BBC have any idea of how ludicrous this is?
I doubt if many locals then travelled much further than Salisbury and back let alone bloody Egypt!
The mystery of Stonehenge ‘solved’ – IN QUOTES
MAY! MAY!
The mystery of Stonehenge may finally have been solved by researchers who say it could be linked to ancient Egypt.
IT IS LINKED OT THE SUN – NOT EGYPT!
The Solar calendar was used by the ancient Egyptians and follows the movement of the sun.
I know that most folk know that Islam wasn’t invented ( deliberate use of the word) until the 5th century AD or thereabouts . But do the BBC know ? In their haste to prove that Islam invented the modern world they could be easily confused. The next set of researchers could come up with the theory that it was a mosque!

I had Classic FM on last night while in the shower. John Suchet played a violin concerto of the composer Chevalier de Saint-Georges (Josep) (roughly 1750). Who? Absolutely wonderful, I’d not come across this composer before and will certainly explore his repertoire. He was black.
I’m very surprised that the black Marxists who currently are trying to induce us to believe that the history of, and discoveries made by blacks throughout our white history, cite Chevalier to validly support their otherwise, illusory assertions.

Max Miller, the “Cheeky Chappie” of Britain’s music hall, liked to say that the great thing about comedy was that it was the only job where if you’re really bad at it nobody laughs at you. The dead hand of the demographically exhausted German state is taking it to a whole other level:
The German government has approved a criminal inquiry into a comic who mocked the Turkish president, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced.
By law, the government must approve any use of an article of the criminal code on insulting foreign leaders.
Mrs Merkel stressed that the courts would have the final word.

Starkey argues that conservatism has to be rooted in country and in the history and tradition of the country. Putin understands this. The Ukrainians understand this. Concepts of universal human rights, universal values, the “international community” etc. are myths. They don’t exist other than in the minds of certain Western liberals. Values are unique to each country.
Any increased money spent on our defence is to be welcomed but we sorely need patriotic leadership prepared to defend the UK both physically and culturally. My fear for us (the Union – and England in particular) is that the WEF etc. monsters, in concert with many paid-for, self-serving civil servants and political figures, will be using the Ukraine situation as cover for beavering away at their mad globalist policies on several fronts.
“Universalism simply does not work.”
“Values are unique to each country.”

Still not a word of criticism from the BBC against their darling Biden for his disastrous energy policies, which are directly fuelling Putin’s murderous war machine while undermining sanctions. All because of the Imbecile’s obsession with Green ideology.
Even Democrat-biased outlets like ABC are reporting the folly.
“Republican elected officials across the U.S. are criticizing President Joe Biden over his energy policies and urging his administration to do more to ramp up domestic production as a way to help wean the nation and its allies off oil from Russia.
The sanctions imposed on Russia for its war with Ukraine so far do not include oil and gas exports from the country, a step that would severely hurt Russia’s ability to generate revenue.”

WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) – The United States is open to imposing sanctions on Russia’s oil and gas flows but going after its exports now could help Moscow, the White House said on Wednesday as oil prices surged to an 11-year high and supply disruptions mounted.
