[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[aolstudios]

Oh FFS! We all know Farage is the devil incarnate for getting us out of the EU - but Farage as a supporter of Putin, Russian aggression and the destruction of Ukraine? Get a grip!

He's expressed his support & admiration of Putin many times. For years.
There was also a mysterious visit to Assange, a Putin asset, at the Embassy.
His Brexit partner, Arron Banks is a huge Putin fan as well & it's pretty much established both have had extensive Kremlin funding

Quite.

So how did it go at the facility that is expected to have international monitors visiting very soon ?

The vast majority of commentary on this war is utter tosh. That's why I rarely read it now.

See if you can find some of the recent articles in the Washington Post detailing the intelligence war and the extent of Russian attempts to undermine the Ukrainian state with a massively expanded department dedicated to this task. I was reading them this morning. There were clear signs of what was and is happening, if you choose to look. By ignoring the commentary and intelligence reports you are not remaining impartial.
‘If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.’

How do you know it's tosh if you don't read it?

Yeah, that's fine. I ignore wars outside of Europe myself so I can understand that point of view.

The nuclear plant is still there. Even if it blows it doesn't look like the physics will allow another Chernobyl type disaster. Which is great news.

What are the Russian tourists up to this time in Albania ?

All the more reason to ban Russian tourists. If they want a holiday I hear Sevastopol is lovely this time of year…

Blimey - I didn't even know Albania was in NATO!

Dugin's daughter killed by a car bomb just outside Moscow last night whilst driving his vehicle. Presumably, he was the target.

Was it a Putin-ordered hit or an anti-Putin hit is the unanswered question.

That is the question.

I hear they were treated to a lovely firework show on their Crimean holidays last week.

Well, they would say that wouldn't they.

It looks very false flag. Bump off someone prominent, but expendable, most likely with the aim of improving army recruitment.

Of course it could be Ukranian sympathisers or an anti Putin cell working alone. Highly unlikely to be the Ukranian government though. Lots to lose and nothing to gain.

Pretty much no motive.

100's if not 1000's of higher value targets, why waste resources ?

However, she was not the target, her father was and he is definitely a top 5 priority. I seriously doubt if this was an official hit as Ukraine has more to lose using this type of tactic. Now would be a perfect time to threaten Putin’s power base by attacking a close friend whilst being able to blame the Ukrainians.

Her father isn't a top priority either.

Seriously, there is no motive here for Ukraine.

‘Putin boosts Russian troop numbers by more than 10%’

Seems odd. What’s wrong with the army he already has ? How can they be overstretched by some piddling ‘special operation ?’

And with troops it's quality, not quantity that will eventually win the day.
