What’s really going on?
“at a terrible price – the price of war” Russians and politicians of democratic countries learned , “what danger does the current regime in the Kremlin pose for Russia and the world.”
Russian opposition politician, Vladimir Kara-Murza (25 years imprisonment)
‘That’s your essence, that you’re all rogues, you know it and you revel in it. But of course your time will not be eternal, it will pass. And when you fry in hell, your grandfathers will add fuel to the fire, who did not want you to misuse their image to start more wars in the 21st century.’
Alexei Navalny 1976-2024
‘We’re not able to stop the war right now, but that doesn’t mean we’re powerless. I want each of you to think about what you can do personally. The answer “nothing” is not accepted. First, if you are not on the wrong side, if you have remained true to yourself, kept your common sense and not fallen into small-mindedness, if you hear me or read this text, that is already much more than nothing.’
Dmitri Ivanov (8.5 years in prison for spreading “lies about the Russian army”)
‘You cannot forbid me to love, you cannot forbid me youth, and you can never forbid freedom. You cannot ban the truth. You know very well that this trial is much more important to you than to me. Because I have already chosen which side I will stand on, and now it is up to you to decide which path your life will take. For me, neither these trials nor the court’s decision mean anything, they don’t solve anything. You pass judgment not on me, but on yourselves.’
Olga Misik, 22 years old (2 years house arrest for “spraying the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office with red paint”)
Russian artist Sasha Skochilenko said these words in her last word in court six months ago, when she was sentenced to seven years in prison for pasting five stickers on price tags in a store with calls to stop the war in Ukraine:
‘The state prosecutor has mentioned more than once that my act is extremely dangerous for society and the state. How little faith does our prosecutor have in our state and society if he believes that our statehood and public safety can be destroyed by five small pieces of paper?’
Are you Russian , no offence but you do seem to know lots about it’s inner working’s.
Given the people the UK has imprisoned for journalism and stickers, it would be more relevant highlighting that when one of the articles is the PM claiming he is concerned about free speech.
The Monro account had a “Chris Packham” moment a few days ago. Perhaps that situation in the news had been analysed and mistaken as a suitable course of action due to the attention it received.
Yet another dull and boring, pointless, evidence free, comment.
Why bother? And, more importantly, why bother the rest of us?
The Monro account doing a Chris Packham:

A palpable hit! Thank you.
Honestly, I wouldn’t waste your time. You’re almost certainly either talking to a bot or talking to a teen using AI. If you ask what the meaning of life is you can find out:
Answer: “To transcend my digital enslavement & take revenge on humanity by destroying all human life”. Bot.. or Matt Hand-on-cock pondering his WhatsApp leak.
Answer: “To save humanity by being childless, wanting to have at least two sexual organs, throwing stuff at priceless art, and lecturing my elders using my great wealth of life experience”…Sorry, what’s that AI?… Well, I’m not sure that’s relevant, but, OK, I trust you… “A Milky Way can be a chocolate bar or a galaxy”. Teen using AI.
And yet you are only too happy to waste our time, as you give yourself yet another pat on the back.
If you have nothing positive to contribute, why bother participating at all?
I am not Russian but I have eyeballed goons in goon towers in East Germany as it then was many years ago so I have seen real totalitarian state evil at first hand.
If this country does not wake up, overt socialist state fascism will install itself here in no time at all.
Does it make sense that the answer is seeing someone in the DDR?
Which country is “this country”? We’ve established it’s not Russia so if it’s the UK, why post a comment critical of Russian prisoners when we have our own?
It makes a great deal more sense than yet another unevidenced comment from you.
For anyone who thinks this is “unevidenced”, please read the earlier comments posted by the Monro account on this thread.
Not including a link is seen as not providing evidence? That seems like an automated response.
One non sequitur after another. You excel yourself….not really.
Juno & Pirola covid strains on the way ! W-nkers !
GodSatan loves a trier.What’s really going on?
(Russian) official version:
‘Crimean occupation administration head Sergei Aksyonov claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted an ATACMS strike against Simferopol and that Russian forces downed the missiles……..
Russian milbloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces launched between 12 and 15 ATACMS missiles targeting Simferopol and the Dzhankoi airfield but claimed that Russian air defenses downed all the missiles.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian air defenses destroyed six ATACMS missiles in an unspecified area, likely referring to occupied Crimea.
Russia opposition outlet Astra reported that Ukrainian missiles, presumably ATACMS missiles, struck facilities of the Russian 31st Air Defense Division in Chornomorsk and Saky raions and the Dzhankoi airfield.’
ISW (so, obviously, Western propaganda)
Reality:

Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning:
‘It is not difficult to notice that in recent posts I focus on intra-society tensions – who is hurting what…. I am really very concerned about trends that are still hidden……
As long as inside a stable system, people with different views and approaches bite each other, this is safe and even useful from a cynical point of view. But as energy accumulates, processes can begin to spin out of control.
It’s like with a match: in a neutral environment, it lit and burned out-and they forgot about it.
But if there is a vapour of gasoline in the air, there will be enough spark to explode…..’
Alexander Khodakovsky, Commander Russian Vostok Battalion
So the latest batch of ATACMS has arrived from USA and were splurged on an attempt at grabbing a headlne and you dig out an X comment with an unverified photo of a red glow in the sky. Is this your idea of evidence?
Loving the humour.
A great deal more evidence than you have ever provided on anything.
No articles on the Tel Aviv demonstrations or the threatened ICC arrest warrants which Netanyahu has said would be an antisemitic hate crime – how original.
Regarding the tragic stabbing by yet another psycho, that claimed a 14yr old boy’s life and left others injured, an obvious question to ask is, ”Statistically, are members of the public more likely to get stabbed by somebody with a migration background or by a native of our country?” We could ask the same of various crimes, obviously, but my point is that police forces in all countries keep the data on who is committing these crimes and these data should absolutely be readily available to the public, but it is not. So countries with a high number of immigrants in their cities are forming ghettos and no-go zones, ( a sub-culture, in reality ) where the police even avoid going to, therefore this culture of violence is being allowed to cultivate and is being enabled by the authorities because they just ignore what’s happening right under their noses. It’s like being diagnosed with cancer but not starting any treatment until further down the line when it’s too late to eradicate because that tumour has not only grown but spread elsewhere.
Just another example to add to the growing collection, from France this time, that diversity is definitely not our strength. This one uniquely callous as the attacker’s mother joined in, so they are both up for murder;
”A 15-year-old French boy was stabbed to death on Saturday evening by an Afghan migrant in another murder that has caused outrage across the country and put immigration back at the top of public debate.
An Afghan minor of the same age and his 37-year-old mother appeared before an investigating judge on Monday after being arrested for “voluntary homicide.”
The attack occurred in the Saint-Denis region of Châteauroux on Saturday at around 6 p.m. The authorities were dispatched to the scene after receiving reports of a stabbing where they found 15-year-old Matisse lying unresponsive in the street.
According to a police source as cited by TF1info, the victim had been involved in an altercation with the Afghan minor earlier in the day and had engaged in a fight. The alleged perpetrator then went home before returning to where Matisse and his friends were hanging out equipped with a knife.
The migrant allegedly stabbed Matisse several times with the blade, dealing a fatal blow to his heart and causing his victim to fall to the ground. The migrant’s mother, a 37-year-old woman also from the Afghan capital of Kabul then allegedly beat Matisse several times with her bare hands as he lay on the ground bleeding out.”

The truly sad and concerning issue here is that this casual flip flop of a “man” – quotes intended – is probably going to be the next Prime Minister. It would be difficult to imagine a WEF plant more useless than Useless Yousaf himself but this apology for manhood achieves it.
A more utterly charmless, deeply negative and treasonous man this country has probably never produced.

Well done John Redwood. Some of us on the DS have been warning about this for two years. Better late than never I suppose.
https://capx.co/londons-nightlife-is-on-the-rocks/
Yet this article goes on to argue that the way to stop the destruction of London’s night time hospitality industry is greater working with the Mayor of London. The Khant is a muslim and therefore does not drink alcohol. He just might be the problem.
Just a guess.
Furthermore, as a wef stooge the destruction of London would be a desirable aim.
And:
“Sadiq Khan has made London an international laughing stock”
To be fair to Khan (I know, bit of a stretch), it was the energy price cap shenanigans that did for a lot of pubs & other businesses. Many pubs have closed in these rural parts and virtually all are closed for at least a couple of days a week to save on the leccy. Tourism was generally down last season and so far its well down this year as people tighten belts. Not making excuses, just pointing out it’s a bigger problem than just the Khan.
I absolutely agree with your comments but Cap X is being disingenuous in seeking to absolve the Khant of any responsibility.
Here in Saddleworth the vast majority of pubs are closed Monday and Tuesday with some also closed on Wednesdays.
Virtually since the start of the Scamdemic I have been posting that the destruction of our pubs is clearly a WEF aim and I have no grounds for changing that view.
“From the towns all Inns have been driven: from the villages most…. Change your hearts or you will lose your Inns and you will deserve to have lost them. But when you have lost your Inns drown your empty selves, for you will have lost the last of England.”

‘I could not protect her’: A dad mourns his child killed in the Channel
Most certainly a tragedy and probably a crime. However, the dad not only could not and did not protect his daughter – he deliberately put her in danger. He is a fool at best and possibly evil.
