of course it's all censored out on one side by screwing with the domain name services and fiddling the routers, basically the government only permits traffic it approves of, it's disgusting and awful what has happened to Britain.

 I'm sorry but I have some distressing news to impart to you. Your government cannot bear it to be known  since it would  lose votes. Hence they have resorted to extreme  efforts to keep you in the dark.

In Ukraine a new Dien Bien Phu is unfolding,but Western/NATO  Government just can't accept the plain facts, Ukraine is to be Decolonised.

https://www.france24.com/en/20160415-dien-bien-phu-revisited-vietnam-france-war-decolonisation  

At the first Dien Bien Phu, the north vietnamese kettled the big part of the French army, some  80,000 soldiers in a Caldron, then systematically destroyed them all from outside the perimeter, by killing them, wounding them, taking them prisoner or  starving them, in doing this, Ho Chi Minh expelled the French from Vietnam perpetually.  I'm sorry to say  but Vladmir Putin has spotted a chance to catch the UKF (Ukrainian Armed Forces in the exact same predicament, I'm 100% sure he will make much political capital from this in the morning at the big parade.

A huge well trained French army was cut off without resupply routes. General Giáp compared Điện Biên Phủ to a "rice bowl", where his troops occupied the edge and the French the bottom. I'm afraid, this time around, the UKF are at the bottom and Russia has the edge. Gen Giáp did just as the Russians have done  since March, spending  months meticulously stockpiling ammunition and emplacing heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns. Now the battle has begun, and Russia's goal is to fertilize  the fields of Eastern Ukraine with the blood and bones of 80,000 UKF fighters.

In a few days we will see if this synopsis is correct.

 Johnson looks rotten  to me under any form of light. Having destroyed our economy by printing vast quantities of money to debase our savings, he's now hell bent on somehow teaching  Russia some sort of economic lesson. He would be better off  thinking of ways to salvage our  own economy.

Instead he's fiddling with the Internet routers to prevent voters like you seeing the Russian side of the story. If they get to know  the truth, it would be a disaster. As the situation in Donbas develops, it is getting harder for the British media to lie with a straight face. This report, below, from Michael Clarke is the first time he's given an account without too much obvious MoD spin.The Russian objectives are  clear now to the dogs in the street, so lying is harder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWVS0JFatIU

It is obviously  a simple  a Somme style a war of attrition to the end. He's right that the next 3 weeks are critical, since the isolated Ukrainian forces are presently  unable to resupply. If they can't perhaps they are finished, so we will see! History suggests the Russians have the national cohesion to endure in a war of attrition.

The outcome is important in a much wider context  than Ukraine. If the west is unable to find a way to resupply Ukraine as we did for Germans in the Berlin airlift in 1948, before their time runs out. It means that the entire foundations on which NATO rests are flaky. It would show  that the Russian doctrine of attrition still works. Again, only time will tell.

btw: again history favours the Russians, as we have seen in Mariupol. the Azovs  are still isolated, starving without ammunition, perhaps they are destined to starve to death in their labyrinths, devoid as they now are of their civilian  human shields.The cheapest response it to wait it out then seal their tomb under rubble and concrete.

Yes indeed , I can’t get sputnik now either but can still get TASS

 

https://tass.com/

 

This is the major problem and not the war in Ukraine or the covid thing or other “new realities”

 

If we start to become a problem they will just flick switches and turn us off.

Quite interesting to read the garbage on TASS.

It turns out that

Russia is against a war in Europe.

The US is working to create a world food shortage, so nothing to do with the war in Ukraine and Russia blockading Odessa.

Who believe this stuff?  Other than 80% of Russians?

There is a proverb that says something like ; when two liars come together the truth comes along on its own.

It is playing out now to some trivial extent with the beergate versus partygate thing as the powerful with the associated resources sling the muddy truth at each other.

It happened in the 19th century when the pro slavery people hit back at their wealthy and powerful critics for the appalling way they treated there own wage slaves [agricultural and industrial] / child labour down mines etc etc.

Ironically the essential thesis for banning RT from the airwaves etc is that most people are too ‘stupid’ or can’t be trusted to tell the difference between propaganda and truth.

You have managed to combine most of the standard pro-russian-invasion words into one nonsensical sentence.

It's a nonsensical war. Which is what it means to fight a proxy war down to the last Ukrainian or Russian, who cares which?

It would be much better  if one side or the other could  just win, so the war can end. Sadly the west has no intention of allowing this to occur. Wars like this are not fought to obtain an outcome, I suspect it is the war itself that is the important matter.

Prolongation is vital to the west's media, industrial economies,  and arms industries and even to a lesser extent Russia's industries. The West has to be  very careful to arm ukraine exactly up to the point (but no further) where Ukraine can continue to struggle in this proxy war indefinitely, in the NATO doctrine, Ukraine must never win, that would be a disaster for the NATO, since why would Finland or Sweden join NATO if Ukraine can beat Russia without being in NATO, or if Russia can be beat without a military alliance.

Think it through. Ukraine must not be allowed to win, and it cannot be allowed to lose either. If Russia wins, Russia will spend the next ten years starving Europe of food and energy, while the war is on Russia must export or go broke.

So that's why Ukraine is to be propped up indefinitely to prevent either side from winning and to ensure neither side loses, this will go on until the world sees the game, it took 20 years for that realisation to occur in Vietnam. And that was pure nonsense as well.

@lordsnooty For weeks you've been telling us Russia is winning. You forecast the imminent fall of Kyiv, Kharkiv, the Azovstal, and the encirclement of Ukraine's forces in the east.

None of these things came to pass.

Now you say the war is going on forever. Which is it to be, Comrade?

I wanted somebody to win since a stalemate is the worst thing for all parties except NATO.I don't give a hoot who wins, it is utterly unimportant in a fight between two types of Russian.

In a stalemate proxy or civil war like  Vietnam, Syria etc.,  the puppets and common people get hurt, those holding the strings (Biden, Johnson, putin) always win, however it goes.You need to grow up.

I cannot see any  other way around it, Russia is to compelled by NATO to put supersonic Sarmat intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles in Königsberg, so be it if that is what you wanted , all you can say it 'you reap what you sow' Königsberg is as close  to London (for example ) as Inverness or Derry. You should be careful what you wish for as you might get it! You can put NATO closer the Russia, but Russia can put Russia closer to you, in more ways than one ! Think about it.

The other way around it is for Russia to climb down and start acting in its own best interest. Attacking isn't working for Russia or Russians.

You seem to be trying to reposition yourself as neutral observer, but your native bias is still showing clearly.

Expansion and strengthening is now inevitable, thanks to Russian aggression. Finland and Sweden joining is a good decision for them, since the defensive alliance works.

If you want a quick end, persuade Putin that he should withdraw, apologise and pay reparations. This would best for Ukraine and Russia, but perhaps not Putin!

The buyers of Russian energy and food will pay reparations if any are valid.

You call this 'working', perched as we are on the edge of nuclear war or bankruptcy, or both!

I am merely being guided by the facts laid out in detail at the Daily Sceptic. You and Fingal should do your own research and find out what has been going on under your  noses! I won't make the case against Ukraine, I'll let Noah Carl make it for me!

https://dailysceptic.org/2022/05/17/would-the-u-s-side-with-ukraines-far-right-against-zelensky/

 

If you still have a problem, take it up in the comments section, where the vast majority of opinions seem to agree with me, not the BBC or the Guardian or either of you two.

btw: ifor me it has been a long, slow, lonely slog  to garner support for  punishing Zelensky for his many lies and crimes. But now we are getting there, So, as a man of peace, I urge you to be sensible, and help us stem the tide of weapons flooding into Ukraine to be used in the pointless onslaught  in the Donbas which Ukraine has been prosecuting against its own citizens since 2014.

It looks like your attempts at "neutral observer" didn't last long.

Back to rabid enthusiasm for Russian warfare, death and destruction.

Who is "we" in the context of your response - Russia?

If there is Nuclear war, it will be because of your (Russia's) leader. If this happens bankruptcy will not be a concern!

The fact that Noah Carl and the vast majority of "faux sceptics" agree with you is not a sign of a rational position.

So considering the Donbas..Who do you think has killed the most innocent people?

The thing you need to realise is that Noah Carl is writing this drivel to get a rise out of suggestible "faux sceptics", just as all the other authors do on their subjects. 

They are trying to build a "sceptics" brand and a business, by getting the numpties to donate money.

No point in pretending that NC is your guide, as your affection clearly lies with the Kremlin.

Yes, indeed it does.I stand with the allies, the Donetsk People's Republic, the Luhansk People's Republic, the Crimea and Russia. At present The Ukrainian  front is disintegrating in the Donbas, that long spell of shaping the battlefield  worked, and the Russian economy is booming on the back of the strong rouble and high energy prices. The World  has never needed Russia as much as it needs Russia today, Ukraine can't get supplies of any kind to the remnants of its armed forces, hiding amongst the civilian population of Severodonetsk, which sadly is now set to become the next Mariupol. Ursula von der Leyen has ruled out reaching an EU agreement on banning Russian oil imports, calling the idea a "false expectation"so forget sanction, they work like  a circular firing  squad.

The war is still not over   but the allies are  winning on all fronts at  present. My hope is that Russia is satisfied with gaining and holding all the Donbas and Crimea and that the war ends on that basis. It's the only hope for peace.

Although, being realistic, Russia will still  take Dnipro  and Zaporizhzhia, it would be wrong not to by this stage.

they pretend it's only propaganda if it comes from Russia. Anything from the west, they insist must by definition be the  the words of God.And that's basically the BBC and the Gordian and sadly the Telegraph, they all morphed seamlessly from spreading Covid propaganda to spreading Ukraine propaganda. They have been trained well.As you will find out once it is too late.

Mummyfunk , To access RT.com you'll need a VPN service.

If you want to continue unrestricted access, download one of those apps depending on what Operating System you use.

Install your VPN and open. Open your browser, go to RT home page, Scroll to the bottom of the RT home page , locate applications, which will bring up the list.
Because the various tech services Google, apple etc have removed the RT app from their listings the download info will look like this https://cdn.rt.com/app/rtnews.apk , for Google play.
It won't bring up the play store.
You will then need to locate the apk file in your downloads and manually install it.

Once installed you should be able to use it as a normal app without VPN tunneling.
