    Trump & Vlad in the same week..time to break out the beers. Nasty pair of toerags, good riddance.

    Yeah hopefully we get some real go getters like Stalin and Bush back in power.

    I'm off to my bunker. The Express has been promising WW3 for years now.

    Russia is never going to let Ukraine go. That's a given. Everyone knows that sooner or later, Russia will take that territory back. I can easily see Germany sacrificing Ukraine, or any other Eastern European country to secure a friendly association with Russia.

    Literally noone thinks that. The only people who ever said that were the warhawks trying to get Obama to go to war with Russia over Crimea, and that was only back then, when they were trying to escalate and bamboozle the public with as much hyperbole as possible.

    They were proven 100% wrong in that. Not only did Russia not go after Ukraine, they didn't even attempt to influence any other part of Ukraine even where there were Russian majorities begging them to.

    Are you for real? Do you genuinely believe any of what you just posted?

    Polish mate of mine says theres huge rumours going around that he had covid and developed some of the longterm issues from it, maybe due to his parkinsons comorbidity.

    The move to make presidents immune from all actions in office speaks volumes though, something is afoot whether you believe the parkinsons rumour or not.

    Say what you want about Putin, he has been a very strong leader for Russia and has done a great job for them. Russia is a beautiful country by the way, full of friendly people. We would do well with forming an alliance in that direction and moving away from the basketcases that are the US and Britain.

    The Russian Troll Farm must have granted unlimited overtime this weekend...
    Is that you Valentin in Vladivostok? Oleg in Omsk?

    Anything coming from the British and subsequentially Irish media meeds to be treated with a pinch of salt.

    RT on the other hand needs a lorry load of salt.

    True or not it's very much a throwback to the Soviet days and hiding health details about their leaders.

    This might make more sense to the timing of the Navalny poisoning. Can’t have an opponent in play during transition.

    Who is "literally none"? Because most Eastern European and Russian friends see it happening within their lifetimes... and you're shifting goalposts. Perhaps deal with what I've written?

    The express is even worse than RT. 1 of the worst rags out there. Anyone that reads that is dumber just from reading it.
