Why do you think Russians donated so much to the Tories in the first place?

Putin - Machiavelli in a modern suit up against the intellectual might of Boris Johnson and Liz f***ing Truss.

Preaching to the converted mate. It’s fairly obvious - has that Russian report into interference been published yet? Thought not - it will be getting shredded as we speak after this speech.

Well i see pedantry is rife here :lol:. Ukraine is a country and 'The Ukraine' was a geographical area before Independence. Glad you pointed it out.

There were large areas where populations like Tarters occupied that were then occupied by ethnic Russians and Ukrainians after Russian expansion. This happen long before Stalin was on the scene.

There are ethnic Russians that identify as Ukrainian, there are ethnic Ukrainians that have Russian as a first language and a large percentage that are happy to identify as both. My only point is that the situation is more complex than most people think.

Very true. A history of that part of central Europe during the second world war shows Ukrainians, Germans, Poles and Russians all fighting each other at some time our another. The only bunch they all agreed upon slaughtering were the Jews.

I am sure Putin doesn’t pay much attention to a PM who sells a game of tennis to the wife of one of his mates to fund his party ….

Every time Puton seemed to be calming down Johnson and Truss seemed to poke him with a stick.
I'm expecting Russia to go into the "independent areas" tonight or tomorrow then see if the Ukranians retaliate thus unleashing an all out invasion.

So we can even blame the Jews for not being there now, causing the others to disagree? Devious people aren't they :lol:

Meanwhile Britain will offer Russian money a safe haven in the event of war.

They’ll bomb parts of it themselves then claim Ukraine did it anyway

I've not read any anti Ukraine sentiments, I'm not saying they don't exist, but I haven't seen them. I have read him saying the USA and the UK are pouring oil on the fire, whilst France and Germany have tried diplomacy. I'm not sure there's too much wrong with that analysis.

Are you saying it's the Uk and Usa's fault and not Russia's?
 
Next show to drop will be in Bosnia..the Serb region will split and join Sebia, negating the peace treaty. Russia is a lot stronger today than in the 1990s when NATO forces got involved.
