Barry, could I just ask you, do you think Putin's election win was fair?

In the land with one candidate you always get the biggest turnout of voters.

Since the demise of the Soviet Union the USA, has reflected a shocking arrogance towards Russia. They have felt that they could act with impunity, unilaterally, abandon all treaty frameworks and agreements and that arrogance arose with the US belief that it could do as it pleased, whether that meant launching wars, engaging in coups and assassinations and abandoning the nuclear arms framework. This latest attack was that.
They are playing a very dangerous game. The attack has the US’s fingerprints all over it.
I’m not here to wind anyone up. I’m stating what I believe are facts and I welcome opposite views in any context.

You heard it folks. Ivan the expert has spoken

Moderator! Could you do the honours and boot the bot? Booting efficiency is pretty good in here these days.

I don't think we're at that point yet Mr Imp. He may just be winding you up. I wonder where he might have learned that skill.

He's got a point of view and puts it across whilst respecting the points of view of others. A bit more tolerance?????? Maybe. I'd like to see how it pans out before firing the gun.
Should you be unhappy with my response so far, you have recourse to present your case to the owner of the board.

Fair comment. If you banned every poster basing their 'point of view' on unsubstantiated bollocks then you'd wear out your boot button pretty quickly.

Certainly criticism could be aimed at the USA and probably every single country of any significance to the world order. But when you do it to a background of playing the violin

for Putin then you've just lost all your credibility in one go. An utterly evil regime lead by a man who wrote the book on evil bastardry.

I suggest that the man who barely dares to leave his bunker is the one who needs to be careful and it's easy to see that he knows that too.

Watch Russian TV and you'll have as many clap trap excuses as you like. Sadly some people who Jane zero excuses end parroting them. Stand by for that.

Russia is not indiscriminately killing anyone. If it was "Targetting civillians" they would be dying in their tens of thousands a week.

So why are they dropping bombs and targeting Civilian areas?? Why aren't they doing what the Ukraine are doing and targeting military hardware??
Next you'll be shouting for Israel for bombing 'Food Banks'!!!! Kin'ell!!!

Its OK I'll answer it for you. They can't mass bomb because their planes would get nailed by F-16s or Patriots etc... they have to rely on cruise missiles and drones. They're still going into tower blocks and markets etc....

They are not carpet bombing civilian areas, my answer above states the obvious. Putin is not Netanyahu.
The Kiev regime is actually the one using civilians as human shields. If a Russian drone kills a couple civilians, there’s global uproar, but when Israel consciously blows thousands of children to pieces with no remorse, it’s labeled as collateral damage.

His presentation is stilted and he moves between minor topics in a unbalanced way…almost like a news report, doesn’t flow naturally at all.

Does seem quite flakey. Perhaps it's a language problem, try Russian or maybe binary.
