Nobody said there was; it's just that we don't need western media spouting the usual partisan crud about Russian soldiers using babies as clappers in church bells and the like. They don't need to. Just show it like it is.

I suspect this is because the Russians won't allow it but I want to see am embedded journalist with a Russian unit; even more extended film the Russians are releasing of their combat operations (not the one of the babushka kissing the soldier). ISIS allowed their operations to be filmed and the western media showed it. We got a better appreciation of the balance of the story (but still hated ISIS with equal force).

Having said that, early in the thread a Putin apologist stated with, a scoff, that the media were saying Putin had an arrest agenda for undesirables when he takes Ukraine and dismissed it as some propaganda fake news. That smacks of Trumpism. He has this policy in his own country. Even if completely made up, it would be bizarre if his security apparatus hadn't complied such a list.

This is a US commenator on Fox News - Biden is a fool and a disgrace (probably correct) and Putin needs to be taught a proper lesson - he's really looking for a fight!
He must be of the old school " we were late for the first two world wars but be wont be for the third"

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

A more traditional Republican view but there is no doubt the far right of the Republican Party support Putin, similar to some on here.

In terms of the USA,the President and Vice President must be 35 years of age or older when assuming office.
A President can only serve for 2 terms, a total of 8 years.

35 is very young (but at least it's no younger), but a President's first term as with Biden can be at any higher age I assume? 78 in Bidens. I'm far from one to judge on age, as it's all too easy and lazy for people to do so, but in the case of leading a country and all that entails the idea that Biden will be President into his 80s seems a little nutty.
