A fact we all should face is that our own state deliberately half truth and lie to us for political expediency. I say this with no pride because I’m talking about our own here. I expect and demand better. Ok, let’s look at this claim that Russia under Putin is looking to retake the old Empire….just what would that require and risk. I don’t think it seriously relates to a practical analysis of either the Russian military or its economy. I say Instead of listening to those who support a war with Russia actually look at the situation yourself and understand what it would take for Russia to take back its old empire. If you do that you will quickly realise what a nonsense it is……I ask you to question yourself on how much of what you think is based upon trust of our authorities and old cold war thinking. I don’t even think that anyone in the western leaderships actually believe this idea anyway and if you actually look at their comments you can work that out for yourself. It’s just propaganda given to get you to nod along and comply….like being told that masks make some useful impact against Covid. Ok, here are my arguments against this idea that Putin wants the old empire: How can it be both true that you are told that Russia is this existential threat to Europe looking to overtake many Nato countries when it can’t even hold territory it gained in a war with the Ukraine? Does that sound realistic to you? Firstly lets tackle the most obvious problem with this position. Those countries, Poland and so on are now in Nato (a separate discussion) To take back the old Soviet empire Russia would need to attack them, which means nuclear war……straight off the bat it’s a non starter. Both Nato and Russia have been at pains at avoiding directly fighting each others official troops as they know what that means……Yet you seriously believe that Russia wants to invade Poland and all the rest of it. Let’s imagine that the nuclear options didn’t exist even then just how would they justify holding this hostile territory? I put it to you that this has never been realistic. While Putin is popular in Russia he would have to become Stalin to remain in power….considering he has criticised Stalin and the old Soviet empire many times I just don’t see this. Another problem with this empire concept. Apparently we get told that Russia has problems even calling up reservists to fight in Ukraine but at the same time told that Russia is going to call up the many millions of civilians it would need to beat Nato and hold down and suppress nations with old hatreds towards it. The Russians would need to call up practically its entire eligible male fighting force……it would need to force people to fight like the old Soviet union did……Shooting those that fled like they did. Russia today isn’t that country and despite what you have been told Putin isn’t Stalin….someone he has criticised as he has criticised the old Soviet union many times. If Putin wants to take back the old empire why isn’t the Russia military many millions strong and trained? It could be if that were the intent. But it isn’t and hasn’t been since before the fall of the Berlin wall? If this is about taking the old empire back it would have been planned years ago. To take back the old Soviet empire Russia would firstly need agreement from its backers in the BRICS alliance…..backers who rely upon the world economy and like everyone else are desperate to avoid the catastrophic affects of nuclear war. When I hear people talk lightly of nuclear war I tend to think that they have forgotten firstly the terrible death tolls and then the generational physical harm that affects the Japanese even today. If you were seriously concerned about Putin taking on Nato, then all we had to do....and should still do in my view was beef up our forces in Nato countries. Something I've always supported. I put it to you that Putin has never had serious plans to regain the old Soviet Union and that can be understood by looking at the realities. It is a dangerous fantasy partly intended to justify war…… and when you look at the facts it's as plain as the nose on your face.

Just a thought. I have a habit of thinking 'outside the square'. I take in all that's been said and that is a lot Dear Stirling. Tanks/battleships/troops/aircraft on the ground etc. are they not obsolete. Missiles, drones, submarines, etc are more efficient. What I am saying is in the medium/long term, war will be and is even now taking place in front of a screen. Yes I know you can have 'a steel umbrella', I believe the Israelis use it. Would anyone like to throw this in to the current conversation?

For those that don’t realise from where you get your madness. Germany-based Disclose.TV has millions of followers – on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and far-right social media networks like Gettr and Gab. What began as a conspiracy forum for swapping UFO stories has turned into a popular news aggregator dispensing conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine content, unique not only in its influence but also the way it operates. A new report has shown that Disclose.TV hosted multiple Telegram and Discord channels where "hate speech and Holocaust denial" proliferated. At the same time, experts believe it was also trying to obfuscate its German origin.

The blowing-up of the Crimea-Russia bridge could not be more profound, it was hailed as a great achievement, opened by Putin and his mates. It will hurt, what will the outcome be though. What is happening in Crimea very difficult to understand, even if the referendum was flawed it is still over 90% Russian speaking. Losing RT and the BBC and others has been very negative imo
