  1. Why would Putin put NK troops in harm's way in Ukraine? It makes zero sense.

  2. ​ @vladdrakul7851 A murder still unsolved to this day and in which most of the suspects died prematurely in mysterious circumstances. Variously blamed on Russia, the PKK and South Africa along with all the usual lone wolf nutcases and Manchurian candidates.

  5. Famously, NATO was defined as being created in order to keep the Americans IN Europe, the Russians OUT and the Germans DOWN. Arguably, thus far, it has done its job.

  6. If even Biden thinks that Netanyahu is an evil c*nt then we are in trouble.

  7. And 'Ukraine' under ultimate NATO guidance has recently seen fit to attack one of Russia's missile EWS.....

  9. 'Ajax' also the name of the CIA sponsored, UK inspired overthrow of the democratic leader of independent Iran in 1952 who sought to nationalize its oil industry.... This led to the installation of the puppet Shah...

  10. Ultimately the US deep state would cheerfully sacrifice Europe if it meant sticking it to the Russians.

  12.  @laurareneesmith  The document worked as intended but for a few years precisely because the US wasn't literally knocking on Russia's front door threatening its security until then. Have you not heard the Nuland-Pyatt tapes discussing whom they were planning to install as Ukraine leader after the CIA-led coup or Condoleezza Rice threatening both Russia and, essentially, Europe in 2014? Why do you think that Ukraine has played such a fundamental role in your country's presidential politics for as long as it has and to the extent it has? Biden didn't just go there for his holidays. Had Russia attempted something similar in South America or Canada then the US would have responded with ultimate force. Do not underestimate Russia and its ability to respond if the US led NATO's extreme provocations continue.

  13. Hmm

  14. Manufacturing consent? Or is it TINA? The US long fomented, funded and militarily supported Ukraine war against Russia has apparently necessitated two new erstwhile reluctant members joining NATO and now, thanks to ending Germany's reliance on cheap Russian energy and enforced its deindustrialization, it is now enforcing its long resisted financialization. The A-Team loves it when a plan comes together.....

  15. Yes. Not as influential, but it has the FOI. Friends Of Israel group. You can Google which MPs it supports.

  17. That's what I reckon too.

  18. Never let it be forgotten that: A) Nato's constant expansion eastwards, despite earlier promises to the contrary, happened under Clinton as did China's admission into the WTO. 2) Without China during the subprime crisis, seeded again under Mr Clinton, then inflation would've have taken off like a rocket in Western consumer societies and likely proved devastating.

  19. Just listened to BBC R4 media show and a Times journalist embedded with UA in Kursk region claims from anonymous interviews with Russians there that some weren't even aware of the war, many didn't agree with it and some were horrified by alleged Russian atrocities in Ukraine. Make of that what you will I guess.

  25. Both the UK Labour Party and the US Democrats sold out their bases years ago for money. They are both, by design, shells of their former selves and much of their voter bases today are like cuckoos in the nest effectively meaning the parties forever offer their working class voters a false choice. No wonder they have a lot in common.

  26. Problem being getting rid of Putin will either usher in someone more hardline than him and/or create chaos. Ultimately if a Russian leadership feels sufficiently threatened it will, just as Israel will, resort to a nuclear option.

  27. Crook's 'emotion vs debate' comments echo strongly YT increasing censorship treatment of comments. Simple 'Emotion' is generally ok, but facts, arguments and debate clearly aren't.

  28. Stuxnet was indeed highly illustrative of what's afoot.

  29. Much of the EU AND the UK are ALL in a mess of their own making. It's not just Germany.

  34. Depressingly, geopolitics is a zero sum game in the Anglosphere it seems.

  35. Russia is a far weaker country than America in just about every sense if we're talking about power, but between them they possess around 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal in equal measures. If this escalates to nuclear conflict and if there's anyone left to record its history then let there be no doubt that this was initiated by the United States and its allies NOT Russia.

  36. Why talk to Putin the war criminal? Every POTUS over the last century and likely longer is, legally speaking by today's standards, a war criminal.

  37. America, legally speaking, hasn't been involved in 'a war' since 1945. These are 'conflicts'.

  38. History is not a morality play... ...but you try convincing people of that.

  39. These comment sections should be renamed 'ad hominem sections'. Put counter points of view people and quit attacking these individuals personally. It just suggests a paucity of your own knowledge and understanding.

  40. Sure. Begs the question as to why you are here....

  42. Europe, fatally, opted to outsource most of its foreign policy to Washington decades ago and its defence arguably even earlier. It is now paying the price for those expediencies. It, collectively, voluntarily became a client state of the US. A US that is off in search of more useful clients in a fast changing world.

  43. Confused? They're Trump fanboys or Biden fanboys now?

  44. Much of Europe has been well and truly hobbled both practically and mentally by its colonial past.

  45. This 'incident' actually raises further serious questions about quite how 'independent' the UK's nuclear deterrent is does it not? Hundreds of billions spent to date over decades at UK taxpayers' expense, a potential future PM in Corbyn likely removed, in part, by 'persons unknown' because of it and yet it appears that there is no such thing as a unilateral option to deploy it and there never was ...

  46. The EU, and by that I mean Europe as that includes the UK, has consistently and SERIOUSLY f*cked up here.

  47. We need to understand that some people and peoples are simply in a different brain space from us. The West is projecting its mentality onto others ie forever imputing impure selfish motives onto them. We need to take a good long hard uncomfortable look at ourselves in the West quite frankly.

  48. ​ @ronald2395  The 'alternative' is that a supposed anti-globalist Farage-led Reform takes arch-globalist Musk's buckets o' money and becomes the main UK political force in UK politics. Execrable choices doesn't begin to describe 'the choices' we have.

  49. In terms of the UK and its entering armed conflicts, 'The power to commit troops in armed conflict is one of the remaining Royal Prerogatives – that is powers that are derived from the Crown rather than conferred on them by Parliament.” This means that the PM has a constitutional right to decide when to authorise military action.' - IoG There are various caveats, conventions and precedents, but any UK government can choose to ignore them should they wish to.

  50. Is the South Korean intelligence service called KI7?
