The west are using the media to decieve and control their population. This war has shown that Zelensky is a full time puppet. He is being pushed to continue the war at the expense of civilian lives. |
sapientia:don't mind them, Ukraine is fighting and winning with propaganda, while Russia is slowly and quietly achieving their goals though at a great cost. |
Bloomberg story claiming central bank governor barred from resigning is false – Moscow Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina did not attempt to resign over the Ukraine conflict, only to have her resignation personally rejected by President Vladimir Putin, the regulator said on Wednesday. It emphasised that a story, to that effect, published by the American news agency Bloomberg was untrue. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had suggested that those curious inquire with Nabiullina herself. The story cited four anonymous "sources," who claimed to have knowledge of the supposed discussions between Putin and Nabiullina, claiming the central banker had attempted to resign after the offensive in Ukraine began. She was allegedly spooked by a looming economic catastrophe, but was asked to remain in her post by the president. Bloomberg admitted Nabiullina’s “current views couldn’t be learned,” adding that for her to leave now would be seen as a “betrayal” after nearly 20 years of working with Putin. She has not said anything publicly about her position, her appointment to another five-year term on Friday, or her opinion on the conflict, and has given no outward indication that she planned on leaving. Nabiullina has urged the central bank’s staff to avoid politics, releasing a short video to colleagues earlier this month asking them to avoid “political debates” which “only burn our energy, which we need to do our jobs.” After the invasion and the multiple rounds of sanctions that followed, Nabiullina more than doubled the key interest rate and imposed capital controls to stop the flow of money out of Russia. Bloomberg praised Nabiullina’s skills, crediting her with bringing inflation under control and amassing “one of the world’s biggest stockpiles of foreign currency and gold” – much of the latter has been impounded by the US-led West. She is also credited with fighting the same capital controls she recently imposed in Russia. These allow non-Russians to buy up Russian assets – such as oil and gas stocks whose value has plummeted in the wake of sanctions – and vice versa, permitting Russians to accumulate money in foreign markets.

President Volodymyr Zelensky explained the clampdown by citing possible links to Russia Ukraine has moved to suspend the activities of almost a dozen opposition parties, including the parliament’s second-largest group, Opposition Platform – For Life, for as long as the conflict with Russia continues. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the decision of the country’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on Sunday. It was made “given the full-scale war and the ties of some political structures with this state,” he said, apparently referring to Russia. According to Zelensky, the activities of the opposition parties will be put on hold “for the period of martial law.” “Any activity of politicians aimed at division and collaboration won’t be successful, but will instead be faced with a harsh response,” the president warned. A total of 11 parties were blacklisted, including Opposition Platform – For Life, which is the second-biggest in the Verkhovna Rada with 39 seats; Party of Shariy, founded by harsh critic of the Kiev authorities, blogger Anatoly Shariy; and Nashi party, headed by Evgeniy Murayev. In January, the UK Foreign Office said that Murayev was the man whom the Kremlin wanted to put in charge of Ukraine instead of Zelensky. However, the claim was denied by officials in Moscow and the politician himself, who said it was “nonsense and stupidity.” Opposition Platform – For Life said the suspension was “illegal” and promised to challenge it. “Instead of political dialogue [and] attempts to search for compromise and ways to unite the country, the authorities are relying on raiding, intimidation, repression and reprisals against their opponents,” the party said, urging its MPs and activists to continue working. Shariy reacted by suggesting that Zelensky was only really looking to ban two parties – allegedly referring to his own and to Opposition Platform – while the rest were only added to the list so that the president could avoid “criticism and mockery” for blatantly targeting his opponents. Russia sent its troops into Ukraine in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the breakaway Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state. Moscow has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it had been planning to retake the two republics by force.

Truvelisback:if we start listing the sins and hypocritical acts of the U.S here, the list might get to 500pages. |
Truvelisback:yes US and NATO members here, very subjective, biased, mentally dependent and hypocritical folks. US should give peace a chance, trying to make every country a dependent slave or making the world a unipolar world can never work.

Beijing will never forget who bombed its embassy in Belgrade, mission to the EU said Beijing dismissed NATO calls for it not to support Russia in any way on Thursday, reminding the bloc it was their forces who bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during its 1999 air campaign in Yugoslavia. “Chinese people can fully relate to the pains and sufferings of other countries because we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law,” a spokesman for the Beijing’s diplomatic mission to the EU said, responding to remarks made by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Branding NATO a “Cold War remnant,” the diplomat suggested the organization needed to do some self-reflection to examine if it was contributing to world peace and stability, with its expansion and military operations. Stoltenberg targeted China on Tuesday ahead of a NATO defense ministers’ emergency meeting. He suggested Beijing should “join the rest of the world in condemning strongly the brutal invasion of Ukraine by Russia” and said that any kind of support for Moscow now would help it “to continue to wage war which is causing death, suffering and an enormous amount of destruction.” “China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security Council to actually support and uphold international law,” he added. Russia’s attack against Ukraine, which it launched in late February, was partially justified by NATO’s creeping expansion. Moscow said it posed an increasing threat to its national security that had to be eliminated after the US and its allies refused to deescalate the situation peacefully. Russia also said it had to protect rebels in eastern Ukraine from continued attacks by Ukrainian government forces. Beijing voiced support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity, but agreed with Moscow’s rationale, saying that NATO’s European expansion was clearly provocative. China refused to impose sanctions against Russia and criticized nations that did so, calling such measures illegal and damaging to the world economy. An American B-2 bomber hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade at around midnight on May 7, 1999, killing three Chinese journalists and injuring some 20 people. The targeting was done by the CIA, which later claimed it wanted to provide coordinates for a nearby military depot. President Bill Clinton apologized for the attack, calling it an accident. NATO launched the 1999 bombing campaign against Yugoslavia without authorization from the UN Security Council, where both Russia and China vetoed all attempts. The military action was justified by a need to protect rebels in Kosovo from continued attacks by Yugoslav forces.

paafin:if world leaders especially in Asia and Africa are wise, by now they should see through all the lies and deception of the west. The biggest weapon of America is their media. |
Saifullah01:very valid points, most of the so called history are questionable. The west select the history they want us to know. |
Propaganda in the West has created false expectations of Ukrainian success, retired US officer says Russia has largely achieved its objective of neutralizing the Ukrainian military, but Western governments mistakenly believe the deliberate progress designed to avoid civilian casualties reflects weakness and are funneling weapons to prolong the fighting, a former top Pentagon adviser has said. Russian President Vladimir Putin has given strict orders from the outset to avoid civilian casualties and extensive property damage, retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor told the Grayzone in an extensive interview on Tuesday. This has slowed the Russians’ advance “to the point where it has given false hope both to the Ukrainians … but seized on by people in the West, to try and convince the world that a defeat is in progress, when in fact the opposite is the case,” Macgregor said. “The war, for all intents and purposes, has been decided,” the retired colonel said. “The entire operation from day one was focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces. That’s largely complete.” The Ukrainian units still active “are completely surrounded, cut off and isolated in various towns and cities,” said Macgregor, including as many as 60,000 on the border with Donetsk, whose supplies are likely running out by now. Media coverage of the fighting, however, ignores this reality and paints a picture of the Russian military being “inept” – in the words of some US senators – because it didn’t defeat Kiev in mere days. This is then used as an argument by advocates of NATO intervention and a “no-fly zone,” but also those who wish to send more weapons to Kiev. “It’s very obvious Washington wants this to continue as long as possible, in hopes Russia would be desperately harmed. I just don’t see that happening,” Macgregor told Grayzone on Tuesday. The biggest problem right now is that “in the West, there is no truth. There is wishful thinking and there is this impression of success by the Ukrainians that doesn’t stack up,” the colonel added. “The biggest lie I’ve heard repeated on television is, Russian troops have been told to deliberately murder Ukrainian civilians. That’s absurd, it’s nonsense.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the US Congress on Wednesday to send fighter jets, air defense missiles and other weapons to Kiev, as well as establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, so his army could defeat Russia. He made the same argument to Canadian lawmakers on Tuesday. Macgregor, however, believes that such shipments will have no effect and that Zelensky’s refusal to negotiate an armistice is only going to get more Ukrainians killed.

The social media giant, however, insists the measure is needed to allow Ukrainians to express their opinions on the ongoing conflict The United Nations has condemned the move by Meta to allow hateful remarks and calls for violence against certain Russians, with Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, stating that the international body does not condone such calls coming from any side. “We stand clearly against all hate speech, all calls for violence. That kind of language is just unacceptable from whichever quarter it comes from,” Dujarric said during a news briefing on Friday. Meta, meanwhile, tried to downplay the impact of its controversial move, with the social media giant’s President for Global Affairs and former British Deputy PM Nick Clegg releasing a statement to clarify the decision. The main goal of the platform was to enable Ukrainians to vent their anger over the Russian offensive, he claimed, describing the decision as a “temporary” measure. “I want to be crystal clear: Our policies are focused on protecting people's rights to speech as an expression of self-defense in reaction to a military invasion of their country. The fact is, if we applied our standard content policies without any adjustments we would now be removing content from ordinary Ukrainians expressing their resistance and fury at the invading military forces, which would rightly be viewed as unacceptable,” Clegg stated. The policy will be applied only “in Ukraine itself,” he went on. It was not immediately clear whether residents of other countries would be allowed to express their “fury” and call for violence against Russian troops and President Vladimir Putin as well, or whether the hateful content would be available for viewing outside Ukraine. There is no change at all in our policies on hate speech as far as the Russian people are concerned. We will not tolerate Russophobia or any kind of discrimination, harassment or violence towards Russians on our platform. Last month, Facebook revised its policies against dangerous individuals and organizations, allowing posts praising the Azov Battalion, Ukraine’s National Guards unit, that incorporates hard-line nationalists and openly neo-Nazi fighters. The latest change in Meta’s policy was first reported by Reuters on Thursday, citing internal emails from the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. While the agency originally claimed the platform allowed hate speech against all the Russians, it later toned down its article, explaining the measure related to “invading Russians” and Putin only. The move has invoked fury in Russia, where Facebook was banned a few days ago over discrimination towards state-owned and state-affiliated Russian media outlets. Russia’s media watchdog Roskomnadzor targeted Instagram, with the platform set to go online on March 14. The Prosecutor General of Russia went even further, asking a court to outlaw Meta Platforms as a whole, designating it as an extremist organization. The label would effectively put Facebook and Instagram in one row with actual terrorist groups, invoking the same penalties and restrictions. Using Facebook or other Meta platforms in good faith, however, would not be automatically considered an act of extremism, Ekaterina Mizulina, a member of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, a body advising Russia’s government on civil society issues, has explained.

More than 1,100 Ukrainian tanks and APCs have been destroyed since the start of the offensive, according to Moscow The Russian Defense Ministry published a video of its Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ attack helicopters hitting and eliminating a convoy of the Ukrainian military’s armored vehicles. The strikes in an unidentified part of the country on Saturday were carried out from low and extremely low altitudes with both guided and non-guided missiles, it said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CODYSvibKY Another clip released by the ministry captured the use of a laser-guided Krasnopol artillery system to destroy a Ukrainian APC in a village near the capital Kiev. Early on Saturday, Russian long-range strikes with high-precision weapons rendered inoperable a military airfield in the town of Vasilkov and a radio surveillance center in Brovary, both in the Kiev region, Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said during a briefing. Over the past 24 hours, five Ukrainian UAVs were shot out of the sky, including two Turkish-made Bayraktar TB-2 drones. A total of 145 military facilities were targeted by Russian aviation, with three Buk M1 missile systems, eight command centers, and five arms depots among them, according to the spokesman. The forces of the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have continued their offensive with fire support from the Russian forces, capturing several more towns and villages in the east of the country, Konashenkov added. Since the start of what Moscow calls a “special operation” in Ukraine on February 24, the Russian military has destroyed 3,491 of Kiev’s military facilities, 1,127 tanks and APCs, and 123 drones, the spokesman pointed out. According to Russia, sending its troops to Ukraine was the only way to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the neighboring country, and to hold accountable those responsible for what Moscow has called the “genocide” of civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk. Other demands by the Kremlin induce neutral status for Ukraine, which would prevent it from joining the US-led NATO bloc, and recognition of Crimea by Kiev as part of Russia and of the aforementioned republics as independent states. The Ukrainian authorities have rejected Moscow’s justification for the incursion, blaming Russia for waging an unprovoked war against the country and rallying for international support.

All the Baltic countries think NATO would save them, they should wake up. The original founding fathers of NATO would be protected first before those in eastern European countries. That's why Poland has been shouting to high heavens for more NATO support. Until we see a massive deployment of troops on NATO’s borders both in the North (Poland and Baltics) and South (Romania in particular)? And I’m talking not a few thousand but tens of thousands of NATO troops, armor, artillery, air power and all. Until then all of this talk about “defending every inch of NATO territory” is a steaming pile of dung. Putin knows this. These Eastern Europeans should better find a way to maintain a friendly relationship with Russia. Allowing the US to use them as proxies to antagonize Russia is senseless. |
BritishNaija:Do you have facts, you presented facts from your MSM and I brought mine. Oh this is even Washington post https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/11/un-council-ukraine-russia-chemical-weapons-zelensky/ |
bonechamberlain: Truvelisback:thank God for the invasion, one can't imagine the number of bioweapons being made in those labs. That's how the create diseases and produce the cure making billions of profits. |
BritishNaija:so your news is true and mine is false. Shows how the western media do the thinking for you |
BritishNaija:Just like the US staged a chemical weapon attack in Syria and put the blame on Assad. I am sure you believed it was Assad that did that. What is Ukraine doing with over 20bio labs which the WHO has adviced that it should be destroyed. WHO advised Kiev to destroy disease-causing pathogens – media https://www.rt.com/russia/551672-who-destroy-pathogens-advice/ |
BritishNaija:You are too educated, yet can't research. The US has admitted already, what are you arguing about. Make reaserch, visit various sites and media, don't depend only on CNN and BBC. |
SMH, western nations are funny. Zuckerberg has once again shown that he is being controlled by political powers. Nations should start developing their own tech. China is more prepared for any ill motivated western sanctions, for every Facebook, Google Twitter, Apple, Puma, Adidas Range rover you pull out, a replacement is already on ground. I used to feel China were extreme with their strict social media policies for foreign apps, now I can see the obvious reason. Allowing the survival of your country to be dependent on the west is suicide. |
Does Zelensky want negotiations or war. How this crisis would turn out, without negotiations and mediation The West would not want to back out and appear to have lost to Russia, as this conflict cannot be sustained for long, it would affect the world economically or militarily especially now China is issuing warnings. Expect North Korea, India and co to issue its own warnings to their enemies. Which might trigger a 3rd world war which no one wants (especially the west). The only solution for the west might be to murder Zelensky to end this crisis, (the guy is hell bent on fighting and causing a 3rd world war, remember Biden tried airlifting him out of Ukraine) and definitely pin the murder on Putin. Another leader would emerge and tow the line of reason and peace. Winners would be The west - succeeded in delaying Russia's economic development for a while. Also tarnished to an extent Russia's international reputation. Russia - succeeded in letting the US and NATO know that their expansion would never be tolerated anymore close to it's borders. Succeeded in exposing the hypocrisy of the west and how they almost dominate every facet of our lives. Which would lead to... More nations would see the need not to develop their own tech and not rely too much on the west. Rest of the world - the world would be a bipolar or multi polar world with many powerful players. Which would ensure more checks and balances in the international system and ensure to an extent peace and stability. Loosers Ukraine - destroyed their country by allowing itself to be used as a Pawn in the hands of the great powers. Would enter into more debt as it tries to rebuild it's country. |
