what are your 'sources'?

My own eyes, what I actually see with them in my own world, and that's it.

But some of that you've quoted there applies to this country too.
eg people being jailed for social media posts.

Did any politicians in this country profit from the PPE scandal during the covid?

Regarding TV, is it true that no media outlet referred to the removal of the Venezuelan leader as a kidnapping, they all actually used the same terminology to imply it wasn't that?

in that case broaden your horizons. your own world is fantasy

go and read a few books by those who have chronicled putins rise from day one. its overwhelming

unless its all lies and putin is the truth (hes not)

ive never said jailing incorrrect opinion is a good thing. stop splitting hairs. you dotn get 14 years for saying kia is a calamity, though he is

and if profiting from the state is a problem go and read bill browder about his persecution by putin. or a million others

imagine kia appearing on tv whenever he wanted to and telling you all what to do. youd like that. thats all the russian people get


it was kidnapping, and illegal. maduro is a complete bollox and deserves life but its not down to the US to decide, or shouldnt be

putin would have done it properly by murdering him

in that case broaden your horizons. your own world is fantasy

The irony here is that when you actually experienced first-hand a form of tyranny in your own country eg education destroyed, businesses sent to the wall, basic civil liberties trampled on, told to cover your face in public, and coerced into taking a jab that is now known to have killed and damaged people, it passed you by, but somehow you feel 'qualified' to comment on other countries that you have no first-hand experience of?

A "fantasy" was it?
No, my best 'source' witnessed it, my own eyes.

you are being disingenous in a desperate attempt to deflect

you post what you like and reply to what you like, ignoring what you dont like, and ive put plenty up there, but you dont like it

same old an this forum. i may be boring but i dont deflect as you do and answer every question. you should try it. it is therapeutic confronting uncomfortable arguments that make you re-think

or think

but i dont deflect as you do and answer every question

Actually, *YOU* don't answer any question because you have no first-hand experience of what you're talking about, what you actually mean is that relay what you've read or heard, and as we've established, sometimes without actually quoting your source.

cattermole never generated such interest

or bollox

Putin is a dictator

he invaded neighbour

he said in his own 5000 word testament that it was his 'historic mission' to reunite ukraine with russia

he has crushed all debate and has murdered anyone who doesnt like it

he uses state power for his own ends, and is fabulously wealthy

he engages in cyberwar sabotage disinformation and assassination to furhter his aims (thats not proven, but do you doubt it?)

100s of thousands of russians have fled the country

opposition is a criminal offence

it is a closed media, only state tv exists. all independent media has been purged

i have many sources, like a yard of books on the subject. and the testimony of a long line of russian dissidents who live in fear

and the words of his neighbours, who all fear and hate him. sweden norway finland, poland, the baltic states, etc, on and on



you didnt ask for any sources for this list i posted one million years ago. why not?

because its all true and documented fact but you dont like it. another fact

why are you so in love with putin?

ok

i will have a £100 bet with you it is true and you will be the judge. not because ive looked it up but because im sure you have

which of the above statements are untrue?

try and answer for a change. you wont

please give us your opinion of putin. you will give it because you are an honest man and welcome free and honest debate that is being stifled by the british state and we need to stand against it

so stand up

Someone's been watching too much BBC innit

Remarkable how the BF political fanatics manage to hijack racing threads to enable them to post their views.
For what purpose?

boy george retreated to his own fred and wont be seen again

he quotes david icke but doubts everything from any other source. fool and liar

Let the rajpots go to the political forum where they can argue all day and night without clogging up the racing forum

It was the fred starter that helped to take it off topic.

There are shedloads of off topic chats on HR, it's funny how some posters object to some and not others.

It's hardly a ground breaking topic to start with

I'd be surprised if the rumours about Magoo knocking off Emma were true. Think she could've done a bit better..

id love to and am already qualified

and the world will be a better place if i did end him, much to your disappointment

im still waiting for your appraisal of the evil brute, despite numerous requests

why are you so scared of voicing your own opinion?

really?

so unless you are directly involved you can have no opinion? is that it? has david icke been on the moon and witnessed the sad flag-waving departure of the young lizards left behind, not knowing if they will see their reptilian family again?


you are quite sure putin invaded ukraine and there are about 1 mill dead people as a result. you arent there, how can you know? maybe its not happening at all and all the refugees are actors

and how do we fill the gap in our known unkwowns and known knowns? loonytube? putin puts out a lot of info there, so maybe thats the best way

yes, thats it, because western meeja is so corrupt, particularly the bbc, which is an arm of the state, as we all know

credit where its due

you endlessly find ways to avoid reality

certainly not from the russian side as putin never tells the truth. please dispute this

i said 'about' for a reason. you cannot believe anything from a dictator. you should know that. they are renowned for lying, otherwise they might be unseated by the people they are claiming to protect from the evil outsiders. its an old trick. my repression is for your own good because without it you will be slaves of another power even worse

its about right, given some variables, but even if it is 990 000 does it matter? no

over and over, the same bollox

dictators die in power, because they box themseleves in, and their followers go with them

im still waiting for your opinion of putin. you have mine, gratis

er yes. history will tell you that invaders suffer greater casualites. for obvious reason. putins propaganda will not

i have not googled anything. without it you would be lost

you are again desperately trying to find ways to excuse putin

will you ever give us your opinion on the invasion and putin himself? no

what are you scared of?

i will make it easy for you

is putin a dictator?

did he invade a neighbour that had no problem with russia?

has he kidnapped thousands of children?

has he made himself president for life(25 years and counting)?

has he crushed all opposition and murdered those who stood against him?

does he engage in 'grey area' warfare, ie cyberwar and sabotage against his neighbours?

are his neighbours justified in planting thousands of land-mines on the border with russia?

why have finland and sweden joined nato?


no answer from you. just endless nit-picking. admit the fact putin is a monster but you dont care. fine. stop lying
