This is serious stuff and I agree with Russia's point of view.

It is NATO alliance which is the aggressor here funding supplying and training Ukraine to fight against Russia all but in name.

NATO is not a defensive alliance. That really is a joke when peeps on MSM repeat that line.

NATO has expansion in their horizon and this is clearly visible since Berlin wall has come down.


US and UK leading this war that's for sure. What is so sad imo, is that Germany and France, perhaps reluctantly have gone with it. Very grave mistake taking sides.

Agreed, At'.

The scenario that sees Russia launching an “open attack” on NATO in the summer of 2025 is pure fear mongering by the west and has no basis in reality. That said, a “path to the conflict” between Russia and the west/NATO which is possible - likely even - is if Iran is drawn into the shenanigans in the middle east. Although it's a formidable military power in its own right, it could not fend off the U.S. and the west on its own. The point being that Russia will not stand by idly and see Iran destroyed and will intervene if there's the slightest prospect of that happening. That's the most likely route to WW3, and it's a distinct possibility if the knuckleheads in the House of Commons, White House and NATO etc. continue to throw fuel onto the fire.

As I've said consistently from the start of this thread, where are the adept negotiators, diplomats and statesmen with the intellectual wherewithal to find peaceful solutions to the world's problems instead of thinking the answer lies with weapons and genocide. There's no question mark at the end of that sentence because, sadly, it's a rhetorical question - as none exist in the west.

The German government has a lot of problems currently with their budget planning and the farmers protests.

This document was not leaked, it was given to the BILD newspaper to change the topic which didn't work.

Of course the MSM sell this BS as new truth, they always have and had these scenarios to play with plans. They might work in the same quality as their plans for Ukraine.

They always make and made and have and had plans for hypothetical crisis situations, that is nothing special related to the war.

Ukraine is just simply a tool for the US and UK. A clown puppet to be manipulated and controlled with the strings in Washington and London.

If I was Ukrainian, I would find this to be humiliating. The people being abused by corrupt politicians filling their pockets with the blood of their citizens. The whole show about "we want to join NATO" fiasco is just a joke.

On the other hand there is the option to be like Switzerland, neutral. Also option to join the EU...

and what does the comedian do... Choose war.

Once again this is all about that ever expanding defensive alliance called NATO. They are going to defend us all by surrounding Russia.

Just think about it. Berlin wall comes down. Lots of peace and trade. Cheap gas from Russia. No threat of war or animosity. Yet NATO expands all the way up to the borders of Russia because it feels threatened by Russian expansion. Really? The MSM feeds this line and the mass public regurgitates coz our politicians wouldn't lie or cheat us would they?

Look at Sweden and Finland. They really have stepped into the quagmire of US foreign policy and now making them selves a target if they ever host NATO weapons.

I find the whole shenanigans remarkably daft and stupid policy, led by our corrupt politicians, working for dogs of war and not their citizens.

This article imho is on the nail.

I've heard similar reports about how they were all in agreement in Istanbul to achieve peace until a meeting with UK and US after the meetings and Zelensky comes back with rejections.

Just to be clear, Russia accepted EU membership application by Ukraine as long as Ukraine accepted neutrality and removed NATO membership.


I still struggle to understand why Ukraine would not want to be a country like Switzerland and never have to face war. UK and US alongside France, are the three top nations who drum about democracy, whilst interfering with the sovereignty of other nations to implement puppet regimes.

The hypocrisy of these three top sh!t stirring countries is sickening.
