Germany doesn't even have quarter of a million homeless people by the way.. Turkey has more, and also does next to nothing to help them :-( It's almost entirely charities who pick up this thankless task. Perhaps you also suggest Turkey could reign in some of its military spending to help their...

stable democratic country? The country is under regular drone attack, the threat of forced conscription has caused thousands to flee the country, a few months ago it looked like a full blown rebellion was underway from a PMC, and now rebel groups are taking over entire border villages. Yep...

Any country in Ukraine's position, faced with a Russian neighbour, who even before any talk of Ukraine and Nato had already began acting in a hostile way, then Ukraine would have been stupid not to be at least considering trying to get into NATO. Russia was targeting Ukraine long before Zelensky...

are these the verses you asked for, and could perhaps explain? Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …" Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers...

couldnt have put it better myself. And i would go one step further and venture that the Western world, although just as dishonest and self interested, in its modern day form is slightly more humane and values human life higher than the other alliances / cultures / nations. I see many many...

p.s - i am against Russia in this war, but i have many russian friends, some serving soldiers, and they are (at leasts the ones i am friendly with) good people just like you or I

I have a friend serving in the 36th, hope he is ok :-(

Oh come on! The locals seem happy? You show one single civilian (local not locals!), almost certainly a russian plant, on russian TV lol......hardly giant crowds weeping tears of joy is it?. You post at times some really serious interesting posts, but then embarrass yourself with ones like this...

By far the most unbelievable comment i have seen anywhere, from anyone, during the entire war, and i find it right here on this forum, here it is: ''I would be very careful of using the word "attacks". Early in the war, Russia actually limits its aggression so much, but aggressive Ukrainians...

thank you, really interesting stuff. I still found the stage managed tv debates fascinating for the way that criticism and fatalism still managed to creep in to such obviously managed orchestrated programming, and would love to see more if anyone has a link. The channel you sent me though is...

Gary your reply here just shows you are a huge Putin fan boy.... i'm guessing you came across those pictures of him bare chested on horse back years ago which stirred something inside and you've been a huge fan ever since! It also shows it is pointless trying to debate with you. You call me a...

Early in the war, people were posting great snippets from Russian TV debates, with translation. I found them fascinating to see how russian tv is portraying the war. Can anyone point me in the direction of more of these and more recent ones?

Blackrock taking over the country? That's one of the most bizarre narratives I've ever read. That's almost up there along with flat earth theories! And so much of your narrative is really unfair on the West and makes Putin's Russia sound like some peaceful country that was minding its business...

I'm still in contact with 2 x friends i made in Moscow while i was there in 2012 Both are serving on the front lines, in different units, in different areas of operations. Both have told me the same thing, and the messages are so similar its almost spooky, this is by the way with them not...

''Putin and Orban is truly the face of democracy these days in Europe''......that comment made me spit out my coffee!!! how can you even keep a straight face just typing such craziness! I find it enjoyable reading your posts and trying to discern if you are just abit crazy, or a paid Russian...

any chance of the full article being posted as its behind a pay wall and would love to read it

No MANPADS are an easy explanation and an obvious one. Everyone was wary of pumping easily smuggled weapons that can down civilian airliners into the region. No other motive behind it.

Russia doesnt have the capability to send divers down to 70m+ and plant explosives?? really? Just because they dont have the skills for construction of a major underwater pipeline on their own? We are talking about the destruction not construction, much easier to blow up a pipe line than build...

Becoming undeniable the Ukraine offensives are proving succesful, an amazing achievement, and i would love to be a fly on the wall of some of Putins briefings from the front right now.

tr true, but it looks as though it is safe to say that the majority of Russians at the moment are pro war / pro Putin, and so if a minority of peace loving Russians have to miss out on european holidays and trips so that the pressure can be increased on Putin, then so be it. I'm surprised some...
