  1. PutinOnTheRitz - 0:20 Angela Merkel recently admitted that the original delaying tactic was the 2016 Minsk Accord, which behind the scenes was meant to give Ukraine time to prepare for the war. 0:50 "his war in Ukraine, not going at all to plan" The casualty ratio is in Russia's favour by a wide margin. "Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow" Washington Post March 13 2023. 1:40 Russia's economy is better than the UK's at present. 2:25 "Putin doesn't trust the West anymore" After the fall of the USSR, the West promised Russia that they wouldn't expand NATO eastwards - how did that go? 6:10 Why would China invade part of its own sovereign territory, as defined by international law? It would be like the UK invading the Isle of Man. 06:50 Russia's "eating up NATO resources" only because NATO's throwing them at Ukraine instead of looking for a peace process. Where's the west's peace negotiators? Russia and Ukraine had a peace process on the table until Boris Johnson intervened on behalf of America to stop peace in March 2022. 07:20 "the war's not going well for Russia" debatable, Russia's bleeding Ukraine dry of manpower. Subtle BBC propaganda on behalf of an American proxy war meant to shift the balance of European gas supplies from the Russian pipelines to American liquified gas.

  2. This smacks of a similar tactic used by the Republican Party in the USA. q) Why do folks need ID to vote? a) To prevent voter fraud. q) Can you show the examples of voter fraud that has caused this to happen? a) Er, no. q) So what's this really about, then? a) "Papers please...." All about control, as usual.

  3. The problem is, we never used to have to produce ID. So why do we have to now? What's changed?

  4. The right to bare arms....as part of a well-regulated militia (the gun nuts, the NRA and their corporate sponsors in the military industrial complex always forget that latter part of the sentence).

  5. So zoos are not to be regarded as refuges for endangered animals? They should instead be regarded as exotic farms, where livestock is bred and butchered as per the farmer's requirements? Just so we all understand....

  6. The NRA already buys off politicians with campaign contributions, but only NOW you're worried that this issue will get politicised???

  7. Did the BBC cover Boris Johnson's trip to Ukraine in March 2022, where he acted as Biden's puppet by dissuading them from concluding a peace deal with Russia? We could've had peace, but Biden and Johnson didn't want that. This boils down to a proxy war to enable US liquid gas (fracking) companies to supply Europe, instead of the cheaper Russian gas.

  8. Since both parties attend the WEF conferences at Davos, I have to agree with you.

  9.  @janedoe3915  The US started the war with the coup of 2016. Or do you claim the blood-letting only started with the Russian invasion?

  10. Voter fraud been such a problem in the past, then?

  14. My response is proof that generalisations, such as yours, are always wrong.

  15.  @maalikserebryakov  Thank you for your substantive reply.

  16. @James M4 We saw plenty of school shooters breaking the law being violent. May have been a minority of gun owners but we all saw it. We heard of innocent school staff shot to death for defending their kids. You people are under mind control by the Right Wing fascist Fox News Group. You grow up

  17. Yeah, I'm expecting to hear crickets from the NRA on this one.

  18. Postal fraud been such a problem, then?

  19.  @public.public  Exactly.

  20. Spot on. Both parties attend the WEF conferences in Davos anyway.

  21.  @my2cents980  Where does it say your god gave you the right to have a gun? Not in the Bible :D The "Guns don't hurt people argument was best addressed in Grand Theft Auto, when they said, "Guns help though" :D Your ancestors, who's that? The Founding Fathers? Who wanted the total freedom to own slaves and commit genocide? :D I noticed you didn't care to comment about the "well regulated militia" part of that sentence? Because you're obviously not. Thus you're violating the Second Amendment. You and your tired old excuses are a joke :D

  22.  @maalikserebryakov  Not having ID seems to have worked for all the proceeding years of elections, hasn't it?
    2
  23.  @URBeingLiedTo  What % of elections? I'm guessing it's tiny? And in this case, the prevention you're referring to is democracy.

  24.  @alanle1471  Is that a real issue? Has that been a big deal throughout UK voting history? If so, how come it's taken until now to do this?
    2
  25. Exactly.

  26. "Election turnout is already very low for young people. Even perceived small barriers to voting will turn away apathetic voters, who are exactly the people that need to vote to see any significant change in the system". Unless, you're happy with the way the system's been running, of course......

  27. Why should we have to apply? Was there so much voter fraud in the past?

  28. Not having voter ID been such a problem in the past, then? How many elections were void or declared illegitimate because of fraud?

  29. Fraud. Absolutely.

  30. If they have a need to buy off both sets of politicians with campaign contributions, then how can politics be a seperate issue?

  31.  @MoonThuli  Exactly

  32. Agreed.

  33.  @kehalik4660  Your grammar practically destroyed your point.

  34.  @jameshopkins6168  All those folks are in the same cult? They tell you that? Or did Fox? :D

  35. If you call nearly all the politicians and mainstream media are bought by campaign contributions/corporate sponsors and have been since the Clinton era, then yes, it is in crisis. It's an oligarchy, not democracy. Thanks for catching up.

  37. Biden's Republican lite - he wrote the Crime Bill and is as corrupt as any Republican, via campaign donations. Against god and guns. That a problem???

  38.  @ryucafecurry4564  Agreed.

  39.  @adedotunadagbada16  :D

  40.  @westtxmutt  I doubt it. Generalised terms are never accurate.

  41.  @proselytizingorthodoxpente8304  No, I mean when the pro-Russian executive was replaced with a pro-west executive in 2016, which escalated the sniping and shelling of the Donbas region. Democracy in the Ukraine? LOL! What happened to opposition political parties and media there? They were outlawed. So much for democracy. It was a coup and you know it, orchestrated by the USA. You're just running cover for the Z regime.

  42.  @janedoe3915  False - the US does benefit. That's why they backed the 2016 coup which ousted a pro-Russian executive for a pro-western one. The US blew up the pipeline and now American liquified gas is being sold to Europe instead of cheaper Russian natural gas.

  43. How many Jews and those of ethnic minorities fought in the US armed forces in WW II? The ignorant idiots in this clip are a disgrace to their country, the freedoms they fought for and the memories of all those who had cause to be thankful for their service.
