The info coming from Russia must be true as the man who cuts Putin's hair told his cousin, who told the bar maid at the Hammer and Sickle who then told the local drunk who then sold the story to the media.
He is now I hear in Siberia so it must all be true.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Getting back to the war in Ukraine, i am glad to see that these huge convoys of young Russian men are now being refused entrance Finland , to various other countries, i understand they do not want to go to war, but instead of skinning out, they should stand up to the government in Russia, if the numbers demonstrating grows bigger and bigger, they cannot all be jailed, and Putin would fear an uprising.In the interviews of some i have seen, none condemned the war, just wanted out.

Re: NATO & World War 3
hi keith #116
good afternoon, Nato and the ukraine is the very reason why the war started and why putin shut down the energy supplies to europe.
nato, america, europe and the uk deliberately planned the bringing to a end the legal elected goverment of the ukraine and it was the invitation to zelensky that the ukraine could become part of the european union if he joined nato,
What damage they have caused is yet to be assessed as the short sighted united kingdom together with the european union started sanctions which have resulted in russia stopping energy supplies that could end in their economic collapse and at worse a war.
only time will tell. but on a last note if a business was going to stop trading with a supplier he would certainly seek another supplier before ending a contract with the first one. why didnt the european union do so, or in that case why didnt we.

Re: NATO & World War 3
Keith.
I read that missive, but as it is a Ukrainian publication I assume, [And one shouldn't assume} like I assume that any Russian publication will be full of bias.
Now if the Ukraine is winning why is it that he is always going on about preparing for talks, that is if Putin isn't there, does he really think that the rest of the Duma doesn't support Putin, look at what happened to other Russian leaders that didn't have the support of the Russian Hierarchy.
And if he is winning, as he keeps stating why does he want to join Nato anyway.
What people don't seem to realise is that the shelling by the Ukraine of these regions has been going on since 2014, didn't hear him calling for Nato then.

Re: NATO & World War 3
There was an interesting photo of cars queuing to leave Russia. Six cars were in the foreground and therefore easy to identify. Five of the six were either BMWs or Mercedes. Are Russians that wealthy or is it mainly the wealthy who are leaving?

Re: NATO & World War 3
So now Putin has annexed those regions on the Russian border, where to now/
If Ukraine continues Putin will call it an attack on Russia, one he is then entitled to defend.
Ukraine is to speed up it's plan to join NATO.
Meanwhile we just sit and wonder what the hell next is going to happen.
