    You believe anonymous sources when they allegedly say things you agree with, though.

    I had to "like" that...mate that's a hoot....so lad, are you seriously hammering away on your keyboard trying to convince me that Vlad Solovyov is a gentleman reporter of the highest calibre, diligently sifting through the myriad news items of the day, sternly discarding items of dubious origin and un-verifiable fact and composing the scripts for his nightly newscast based on news of irrefutable fact.....are you....?

    @Destroyer of illusions ...just on the topic of freedom for a second.... 3 girls ....3 girls standing in a little park....just 3....arrested today in Moscow for holding up a bit of cardboard saying "No to War"....I assume that if the cardboard sign had said "No to the 3 Day Special Operation" they'd have been okay???

    Can I just congratulate you on your outstanding bravery Scotsman. Apparently the UK is out of food and in total darkness, but here you are battling on with nary a whimper. Fighting the good fight with nothing more than whisky and the spirit of the Blitz. So brave. :tears:

    That's the spirit! Good old British pluck like that is what saw you to victory at Agincourt, Culloden, the Boyne, Isandlwana (or was it Rouke's Drift, never can recall), Gallipoli and Dunkirk. Chin out, cigar firmly wedged in the mouth and flashing the 'V' sign for all to see.

    You will prevail! :salute:

    Of course you can walk in front of the British Parliament with a poster calling Sunak an idiot. It's natural because it's true - Sunak is a real idiot. Just like almost all modern Western politicians.
    But Putin is not an idiot. Therefore, no one walks with posters near the Kremlin. Putin has an approval rating of 83%. And those 17% who do not agree with him do not agree with his softness in politics. But if you come to the Kremlin with a poster that says "Sunak is an idiot", then no one will arrest you. Just because it's true.

    Nothing like this. If an article is of interest to me, I create a topic and bring it up for discussion. It is you who write ridiculous and inappropriate comments.

    Nothing like this. Solovyov is the same journalist as any BBC journalist, Washington Post, Figaro ... or any other publication.

    This is the first time I hear about it from you. So I can't comment on anything.
    Can you show a photo of Kadyrov in orders? I will try to tell you what they mean. Maybe many of them are banal commemorative signs or religious awards. I heard that he was given awards in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. But these are rather diplomatic signs.

    Is there a source for this that is not pro-west? If true there should be plenty of YouTube videos.

    By discussion, you of course mean trolling. Your liberal use of things like the laughing Spaniard in lieu of commentary, your quick dismissal of all info contrary to your statements, and the absurd sources and claims you regularly post give that away.

    Different part of the same story. Different people arrested by the same cops for the same reason.

    But you'll pretend it didn't happen because of the source.

    doesn't matter what you think....I dare you to stand in red square for 15 minutes at mid-day with a sign "PUTIN IS A C**T" (you can fill in the * with a UN as the mods don't like bad language)
    Until then you're not fooling anyone...:)

    Putin is an idiot. Objectively so. He has launched a war of aggression which is bringing his country to ruin and humiliation. Bringer of Illusions claims that is a smart strategy but intelligent people would all say he is laughably wrong.

    The people of Russia will only put up with so much disaster and lose of standard of living before they decide the corrupt thieving dictator has to go.

    1. How do you know that the Spaniard is laughing?
    2. I never delete information. I don't even know how it's done.

    Have you reached the limit of adequacy? :roflol::roflol::roflol:
    Your request is a 100% manifestation of inadequacy.
    It's the same as if, for example, Durandal asked you to swim across the Atlantic.
    However, perhaps you are ready to fulfill any ridiculous whims of strangers .... But that's another story.

    Putin is feeling rather insecure lately. In his recent speech to the FSB he ordered them to increase their domestic repression to prevent anyone from showing any desire to end Putin's war of aggression where more than 150,000 Russians have died.
