Which part do U like him for ? For using Russian nerve gas on British soil or for d eventual death of d double agent. Dat was wat triggered d whole diplomatic row. Britain first evicted all d Russian diplomats in d UK so what makes U think dey hadnt recalled their diplomats?

Did you see them use the poison? Why didn't Russia kill him when he was in Russian prison instead of waiting for him to move to UK?.

U are being one sided.
How do u know that Putin was responsible? Most people know that the west hate him so much for being against most of their plans and they would tie things like this to him so they can hit him but what Britain fail to understand is that they are alone on this.
Russia will face them totally because they don't have the whole EU block to hide under anymore.
We will see who will lose more between Britain who has has never endured series of sanctions or Russia that is enjoying sanctions up and down.
Russia knows that Britain is alone so they will strike hard because they are like just like a single man since Brexit .

This is the crux of the matter. Britain is now so exposed because of Brexit. No other European country would help UK with its spat with Russia and NATO cannot be relied upon under an unpredictable Trump. Britain had never been so exposed since the 2nd world war.
When economic sanctions starts flying around you cannot expect the EU to tag along and only economic sanctions by EU can really hurt the Russian economy.

I think Putin is promoting nationalism and unilateralism in other countries especially western democracies to weaken them and thereby can start plucking them one by one.

A responsible government killing opposition with nerve gase and ruling for more than two decade. Your sense of humor must be scary.

Let me shock you. You might not agree with me but the truth is that, democracy isn't "totally ideal" for every nati. Under Ghadaffi,he outlawed every form of militia and made sure they all went underground. He developed Libya to a level where they were faring better than a lot of European nations. Today,that once prosperous nation, is in ruins. All the militia heads are back,controlling territories. Saddam was feared in Iraq and had his people in control. There was very little threat from militia groups. Today,the reverse is the case. Are there other people who can lead Russia? Yes! But right now, they still need that leader that the west fears. Nobody in his right senses would dare attack a Putin led Russia.

I don't think I've heard of any EU force or American force in East Ukraine fighting the Russian proxies. It's Ukrainians fighting for their country. You can't invade another country on the pretext that someone is trying to diminish your influence over that country. That's paranoid and obscene! For those students of history who want to understand the rise of Hitler and the events that led up of the second world war, you can steadfastly study Putin and the unfolding events. History always repeats itself.
They don't need to fight them sir. They offered "economic aid" to Ukraine, and their then DULY ELECTED president rejected the aid saying he preferred the close ties with Russia to remain intact.
The 21st century colonists, otherwise known as the 'west' now employed the oldest trick in the book needed to oust a government; "Revolution". Now i had to put revolution in quotes cos that thing that happened in the Ukraine was anything but a true revolution.
In a matter of days, every western press you know on the planet, from BBC to CNN were all there, trying to blow what just a few dozen or at most one hundred disgruntled people who were handpicked started out of proportion, and the rest is history.
The "government" that was arranged by the west just after Yanukovich ran for safety accepted the "economic aid" and that was the first step. Bro the second step would have been to start discussing "Ukrainian safety" from its "rogue neighbours" and planting a nuclear shield and possibly one with attack capabilities right in the direction of Russia. Na there them for dey free to roam the world and do whatever they wish because literally no one fit talk.
That was the reason putin had to take back the closest landmass to his border, being Crimea, for the safety of his country and its people. Of course the west wouldn't tell you all these. They would only talk about the "forceful annexation", which they used as a basis to start sanctioning Russia. They didn't need to deploy guys to fight. They attacked the Russian economy with the sanctions and that, they believe, has far greater impact.

Thank You for this piece. The western Media has succeeded in Brainwashing so called "Educated" people and sufficiently stripped them of their ability to Think for themselves instead of allowing others think for them. Isn't it obvious that anyone who doesn't suck up to the west is labeled a terrorist and and once you suck up to them and do their bidding, You're exonerated of all Your crimes and evil. The greatest Lie people have been led to believe is that America and their European allies actually care about the Ordinary citizens of Rest of the World.. NO THEY DONT!!! All they care about is World Domination and Nothing More. The USA do not want Allies, what they want is Vassals. Thank God we have Russia to serve as a bump to America's Monopolistic Agenda of World Control. Once again, Thanks for baring out some facts for everyone to see.

Bros Russia annexed crimea because the Kremlin was paranoid that a Ukrainian move towards the EU would completely eliminate it's navys black sea fleet whose Hq is in Crimea. If Ukraine were to have moved any closer to the EU, NATO would have demanded that Russia removes it's blac sea fleet from EU territory.

So what was Russia's excuse for invading Afganistan wen dey did? Or Georgia or Ukraine?? It is all a spy war... Everyone is spying on everyone. D agent involved is a double agent dats y dis is a bid deal
If u like ask me 100 more questions, it doesnt change the fact.
Western governments & media (where u get ur news from) are full of lies, believe them to ur own peril. Even Trump knows this, that's why he calls dem FAKE NEWS.
But with boss Vlad, they've met their senior.
U obviously dont know that the real beef (with russia) is about global dominance and hegemony. A resurgent and dominant Russia is d West's worst nightmare, and they would do everything to bad mouth, demonize, delegitimize & tarnish putin & russia's image.
The West has domimated the world for a very long time. Russia right from d days of the soviet union has disliked and opposed d West's global dominance.
The problem is dat Putin refused to bow, and the beef isnt about any nerve agent poisoning - that's FAKE NEWS. I'm sure u believed dem when they lied dat saddam had weapons of mass destruction... It is putin dat really fits d western hegemons, and he is dealing with dem very well.
So it is d Wests "born to rule mentality" & lies that irritates putin. It is just like d hausa/fulani dominance and lies other nigerian tribes are challenging at the moment. Nnamdi Kanu challenged dem, then they framed him and quickly labelled him a terrorist.
It is such tricks & lies powers use all d time to continue dominating others and silence any form of opposition - Go and study history, that has been the pattern.

However, let it be known to u dat power has moved to the East and d west is very restless at this development; a China/Russian alliance has changed d game.
This is just d beginning watch out for more LIES & CONFLICT from d West...
Farewell Occident, hello Orient!

You write load of nonsense. The difference between you and them is that they are free, brainy and learn daily. If a certain country partake in bullshit, does that mean the people of the said country shouldn't be interacted with?

If UK and US does bullshit, it's their government and not their people, the delusion of some of you guys is of the highest order.

You have no idea what's been going on in Ukraine since 2004. The Easterners want closer ties to Russia thanks to Russian concocted propaganda on tv and radio making them believe that the West is against them and is the cause of all their problems. The Westerners on the other hand are tired of the corruption and bureaucracy associated with any Russian ties and want a freer and less corrupt society and they can only actualize this if they move closer to the EU. Russia has tried every possible method including subterfuge, to keep Ukraine within its orbit. Cutting off gas supplies during winter and poisoning Victor yuchenko, the former opposition leader. Russia has nothing to offer any country in this world except corruption, vodka and weapons. The Ukrainians know this and want to move over to a more prosperous and integrated EU instead of living in the bubble of Paranoia where Russia has made then believe that the rest of the world is against them.

Thank you for understanding the issue here, I have been to Russia and the country is corrupt asf. They target American tourist for bribes and wanna steal and clone our passport at every opportunity.
