And it's not as though Ukraine is the innocent virgin the media us leading us to believe either. It is a raddled whore of a country; a kleptocracy run by gangsters, much like Russia.

A charismatic leader who led his country into a bloody and destructive war not so long ago was a bloke called Adolf Hitler. He ended up killing himself in his bunker as Russian bombs rained down. Zelensky will probably skip the country to join his billions of dollars somewhere and satisfy his ego by appearing on TV chat shows.

@haroldgodwinson7241 Ever tried reading his books? OK , I may have praised him too highly, but as I am not all that intelligent myself it's hard to come to an accurate assessment.

Obviously an entirely correct assessment. But Kemi Badenoch is a goddess - and would make a great Prime Minister!

In fact the same thing happened at the end of the first wave last summer. Death rates dropped below the five year average for a few weeks. I had the same thought then and expected Covid 19 to emerge as the dominant respiratory disease in the winter, as predicted by several epidemiologists. It did so, but the winter death rate was the highest for around 17 years. This winter's deaths need investigating in considerable detail. There are several seeming anomalies which I can find no immediate explanation for. It may well be that the death rate has been pushed up from below, as it were, by those people who died because their existing conditions, such as cancer and heart disease, were not properly treated. They may well also have tested positive for covid and covid recorded as an underlying cause of their deaths but it was really the lack of treatment for their existing conditions which actually killed them.

The new YouTube algorithm appears to have been programmed by a team of mad, woke schoolchildren. In addition, if it becomes suspicious of a comment it seems to send it up to some other agency of arbitration, which is apparently a real, live mad woke schoolchild.

It is now impossible to doubt that the main motivation of the "experts" and the politicians is to terrify people into accepting the need to consume more and more Big Pharma products. Follow the money.

What about the two coloured guys from London just sentenced for running a child prostitution racket? They got TWO AND A HALF YEARS!!!

The n-word is in regular use by black people as a form of friendly parlance, of course. I really do wonder how many of them are genuinely offended by its use. It seems like yet another guilt trip by whitey to have it banned.

@tonymccaul7159 It will not become a second rate power, but there are those in the West who believe they can make it so. They believe that they can wrest control of these resources away from those who hold them at present, both by fomenting internal discord and, as in the present instance, by encouraging a proxy war primarily designed to transfer the energy resources of Ukraine from Russian interests to those of Western entities.

@Vzzdak But it was the very threat of Ukraine joining NATO which was one of the prime causes of this war! As to the current state of play , has it crossed your mind that until now Russia has also been using old equipment to a considerable extent? Why would it do this when it has up-to-date equipment available? Why too did it not precede its initial ground invasion with an aerial bombardment, as it is doing now? Why did it not secure the territories it had gained before moving on? Think about it.

@Vzzdak You're beginning to get it. The main reason for this war is that Russia wants Russian-leaning oligarchs to continue to control the huge mineral resources of Donbass, rather than them being taken over by American-leaning oligarchs. But you can't dismiss the NATO threat as mere propaganda. Simon is completely right. NATO has stepped over the line in even considering setting up shop in Ukraine. You can't dismiss the "Nazi" accusations either. There are some very weird people in the Ukrainian military who hate Russians as much as the Germans hated the Jews. They were unleashed on Donbass after the two oblasts declared independence, and began a campaign of torture and intimidation which was only somewhat reduced when the separatists began responding in kind. You are right about Russia being very profligate with men and materiel, but you are wrong about them being unable to produce up-to-date equipment. As demonstrated by the current aerial bombardment they have capacities which far exceed Western estimates. They have expended expendable resources like blotting paper to soak up Ukraine's new NATO subsidised army. How things go from here will very much depend upon what resources the two sides have left for the final conflict, which will begin any day now.

@Vzzdak The Iranian drones are an excellent buy, and provide a very cheap and useful back-up to the faster cruise-type missiles which Russia continues to produce. Neither is used against civilian targets. Direct damage to purely civilian facilities is caused either by falling debris or missiles going astray - mostly Ukrainian ones.

@Bezart34 I don't think you have to look very far to find examples of Zelensky worship. Just look at the clapping seals at the US Congress a few days ago, and take it from there. (I doubt Putin was even aware of the botched operation in Salisbury. It seems to have been more of a private quarrel than anything.)

@Bezart34 I have read Putin's essay on the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, and it is historically accurate. He does not say that Ukraine should not exist as an independent nation. That is a crude summation. He merely points out that modern Ukraine owes its entire existence to Russia, and this is no more or less than the truth. Putin is essentially pragmatic. This is why he has survived for so long in what must be one of the most difficult jobs on the planet. He regrets the passing of his nation's former imperial glory, but he acknowledges that to attempt to reverse history and return to it would be folly. The sad and regrettable tragedy currently taking place in Ukraine is not a consequence of Russian expansionist ambitions, but rather of Russia's understandable resistance to the expansionist ambitions of the United States of America.

@Bezart34 I know no such thing. I'm sure opinion in Russia is sharply divided on these issues. Nonetheless it strikes me as being far more likely that Putin's actions are in defence of Russia, rather than expressing some demented senile attempt to recreate the past.
1
@Bezart34 Putin is defending his country and its interests from Western/NATO/ US aggression. NATO created a 600,000-strong army in Ukraine in order for the West to get its hands on the vast mineral wealth of Donbass , which Russia developed. Putin is pragmatic, sane and a true patriot.
1
@Bezart34 It's politics. Putin is merely defending his country's interests. He has been ready to talk for years, but US greed has pushed him too far. If you want to blame anyone, blame the CIA.

Fascinating as ever!

Covid 19 has been politicised, that's the difference. It's being used as a means of social control, which is unprecedented. It can be argued that the 68/69 epidemic was actually worse. The number of UK deaths was around 30,000 - but many were children and young people, so in terms of years of life lost it was much more severe.

@edwardkerrigan5356 Really? Can you give me a source? I've forgotten what mine was !

I'm coming to believe that replacement theory could actually be a thing.
