Thread: How dangerous is Vladimir Putin?

I'm happy about that. It will drive baldy orange cunto up the wall.

Poor old Vlad, I bet he was itching to get his hands on that!

Interpol has elected South Korean Kim Jong-yang as its president, rejecting the controversial Russian frontrunner.Mr Kim was chosen by Interpol's 194 member states at a meeting of its annual congress in Dubai.


He beat Russia's Alexander Prokopchuk, who has been accused of using Interpol's arrest warrant system to target critics of the Kremlin.

Russia blamed the outcome of the voting on "unprecedented pressure and interference".

I blame it on the fact that they're a bunch of c u n t s who can't be trusted and most countries know it.

On the Pence article, he always looks that way. Journos reading too much into it.

Severe constipation induced by extreme religious repression can do that.

Russia poses greater threat to Britain than Isil, says new Army chief

Russia is now “indisputably” a greater threat to the security of Britain and her allies than Islamist extremist groups such as al-Qaeda and Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil), the new Army chief has warned.

Apart from posing a conventional military threat, the Russians are constantly seeking to undermine the West by developing new war-fighting capabilities in non-conventional areas such as cyber and space.

Speaking in his first interview since his appointment as the Chief of the General Staff, Gen Mark Carleton-Smith, 54, said it was vital that Britain and its allies were not complacent about the threat Russia posed.

Children’s show is propaganda for Putin, say critics



A programme about a mischievous girl and a bear watched by millions of British children is accused of being a “soft propaganda” tool for the Kremlin (Mark Bridge writes). The English-language Masha and the Bear has more than 4.18 million subscribers on YouTube and, in various languages, the animated series has gained 40 billion views across 13 channels.

Children enjoy watching the feisty little girl and her gentle giant protector. However, critics in Russia’s neighbouring states have claimed the series, from a Moscow studio, is part of the country’s propaganda machine. Professor Anthony Glees, of the University of Buckingham, an intelligence expert, said: “Masha is feisty, even rather nasty, but also plucky. She punches above her slight weight. It’s not far-fetched to see her as…

So the baton is officially being passed to designate the Western Freedom Force's new enemy du jour.

Given their recent shenanigens, they've clearly proven that they are a threat to almost everyone. Although personally I'd still keep a beady eye on the chinkies.

^So the evil Taliban/Al Qaeda/Isil hordes problem has been solved then?

no it hasn't be solved and never will, we need to find a new enemy to forget the old one

plus if Putin does defeat ISIS, he will make us look bad and incompetent, so he needs to be the enemy too

They were never a threat to national security, simply to victims of terrorism.

Same as many of the countries named in the evil crescent and on the 7 or 9 to be destroyed by goldilocks and his begetters.

Hows the list panning out, deaths, ruined lives, trillions of FRNs, all for, as 'arry alleges, the nobodies of any interest.

That's why only few thousands US servicemen died (is the exact figure known?) to "diminish" the "threat to victims of terrorism", and some hundreds of their allies as well, deaths of others are not accounted...

And that's what you should keep in mind. There is only "one" what we know so cherish it and don't fall for the wrong side.

Handbags at sea.

The waters near the Crimean peninsula were the site of a tense standoff between Russian and Ukrainian ships that involved a chase, some gunfire, and fighter jets, followed by strong statements from Moscow and Kiev.
At around 7am Moscow time (4am GMT) on Sunday, two artillery boats and a tugboat belonging to the Ukrainian Navy crossed the Russian maritime border in the Black Sea and headed to the Kerch Strait.
Vessels generally pass through the strait after receiving proper permission and according to a schedule, but these ships had no such consent, according to Russian Federal Security Service responsible for maintaining order at the border.



The Russian officers repeatedly asked the Ukrainian vessels to leave Russia's territorial sea and exclusive economic zone, but they ignored those requests.
"The vessels are undertaking dangerous maneuvers, and are not obeying lawful instructions from the Russian authorities," the FSB said in a statement. The ships also entered waters that had been temporarily closed to navigation.

https://www.rt.com/news/444853-russi...hips-conflict/

The Russians called the UNSC, the Ukrainians call for the use of an as yet unknown Martial Law bill to be enacted.

The only problem is that they are not Russian territorial waters.

They are occupied Ukrainian territorial waters.

Not interested in the waffling.

Again: They are illegally occupied sovereign Ukrainian waters.
