Russia blames Liz Truss for nuclear 'special alert'
Earlier, UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace downplayed the nuclear "special alert" announced by Vladimir Putin, suggesting that the Russian president wanted to distract people from his forces' slower-than-expected progress in the invasion.

Wallace told the BBC: "We will not do anything to escalate in that area, we will not do anything to feed any miscalculation - we take it very, very seriously. But at the moment this is a battle of rhetoric that President Putin is deploying."

Now, the Kremlin has suggested comments from Foreign Secretary Liz Truss were the reason that Russia put its nuclear forces on heightened alert, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.

"There had been statements by various representatives at various levels about possible conflict situations and even collisions and clashes between Nato and the Russian Federation," said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Vladimir Putin.

"We consider such statements absolutely unacceptable. I will not name the authors of these statements, although it was the British foreign secretary."

It's not clear which comments by Truss the Russian government objects to, although on Sunday she said she said she would support individuals from the UK joining an international force to fight for Ukraine.
Russia Invade Ukraine doesn’t go to plan so blames us whilst the EU supply Ukraine with every weapon under the sun.

Seems a shift of well she said this blah crap.
 
Seems as though the Russians might be deploying the next stage tactics in Kharkiv. Unable to take the city by other means they seem to be unleashing the heavy armaments.
 
Thanks for posting the info.

The problem with Russian statements though, is that they are full of shit.

I have no doubt that Truss is a complete idiot, and her presence annoyed the Russian diplomats.

But to blame her for the atrocities Russia have committed because of NATO's "threat" seems over the top to say the least. They seem to have a different excuse for their madness everyday. At the end of the day this is one mans fault, the bloodthirsty murderer, who seems to be losing the plot.

Unless Truss phoned Putin and said I'm going to aim a nuke at your Russian hat you squat dancing dickhead, i'm not sure nuclear war is her fault.

I agree with everything you’ve said.

But still shut the fuck up Liz.
 
Darlington Hippodrome

In light of the escalating situation in the Ukraine, Darlington Hippodrome will no longer be presenting the Russian State Opera productions of Carmen and Aida which were scheduled for Tuesday 1 and Wednesday 2 March.

All ticket holders will automatically receive a full refund - there is no need to contact the theatre.

We appreciate that the production company and artistes involved in these productions are in no way responsible for the actions of the Russian government and this decision was not an easy one to make. However, it is imperative that we share our support and solidarity towards the people of Ukraine during this difficult time.
Pity
I would have gone along and boooooed all the way through it
 
Germany’s government want to reach 100% of energy from renewable sources by 2035

From Der Spiegel: the ministry for climate and economic affairs is conducting discussions with other governmental departments to fast forward the switch to 100% renewable sources energies by 2035 instead of 2050 as planned. Putin is turning into the biggest driver for green energy, which is both sad and hilarious :lol: It probably won’t happen, but I’m glad that people more important than me are wanting to act now and reduce dependence on Russian fuel and to become more sustainable. Some may say “but what about nuclear”, Habeck in this article says that the decommissioning stage is too far down the line now and we could only operate nuclear power plants now under reduced safety standards and a meagre output that wouldn’t cover winter 2022/23.
 
So Russia moves troops to border, lies, invades a country to stop genocides, invades entire country instead, says its threatened by NATO, gets Belarus to attack as well, threatens nuclear option, threatens the eu for helping Ukraine, blames lizz truss.
So that's genocide, NATO, Ukraine, the eu, lizz truss to blame.
Its really becoming an episode of Eastenders
 
Russians are blaming Liz Truss for the escalation of there nuclear policies.

Clear as day they’ll target us first if he does decide to push.

In fairness as much as they need to fuckoff, she does need to keep her mouth shut a bit. Coming out and saying we should fight Russians in her capacity is absolutely ridiculous.
I f****** knew that Liz Truss would bring about the apocalypse. Knew it.
There's this.....

Seems to have gone full Colleen Rooney/Rebecca Vardy and named her

😂

This 100%

Highly risky comments. Picture UK reaction had Putin said on TV that he'd support Russians eg. Joining up with the IRA or fighting with Taliban to kick UK/USA out. Immediate global condemnation.

Loose analogy I know but you get my drift.

No sexism implied but she needs to hide in a meat fridge til this is all over.
All political leaders should have their social media accounts confiscated during times like this. One soundbite designed for cheap political point scoring could have serious implications.

Put out messages when needed, from one government account that speaks for the leadership, controlled by someone with a functioning brain.
