Thread: How dangerous is Vladimir Putin?

Austria wants the EU/Ameristani sanctions to end. They see them as counterproductive.

"EU sanctions against Russia have made no political progress and brought negative effects to Austria’s economy, said Austrian Vice-Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner during a visit to Moscow. “We have over a thousand companies doing business with Russia from Austria, and another 500 Austrian firms working in Russia. 40,000 employees are being affected,” said Mitterlehner.

The Vice-Chancellor also confirmed Austria’s commitment to Russia’s Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline project to Europe.
"We should ask ourselves whether we can jointly implement Nord Stream-2 in order to ensure more stable gas supplies to Europe and deepen our contacts," he said at a meeting with Russia Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

They don't see them as "counterproductive". They see them as costing them money.

Medvedev probably promised him a backhander.

If a politician can stand up before his constituents and wave a piece of paper and say, " I have brought prosperity and peace to my country", whilst stood on a windy airport tarmac, sometimes it keeps the wolves from the door.

The European parliament has passed new resolution condemning Russia human rights activities in Russia. One wonders whether they will legislate to sanction Ameristan over their humans rights issues the "annexed" Hawaiians and Alaskans have reported.

Not defending the US on their human rights;

In 1993, the US Congress passed a joint Apology Resolution regarding the overthrow; it was signed by President Bill Clinton. The resolution apologized for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and acknowledged that the United States had annexed Hawaii unlawfully

However, your post sounds like the the people criticising the 'Black Lives Matter' movement for not including 'White Lives Matter' or criticising them for focussing on
Black Lives'.

One does not negate the other and they shouldn't be seen as the same issues.

I'm sure a thread about Hawaiians and Inuit and their independence movements would be interesting

OhNo yet again goes back to the 19th century in order to try and find western actions to compare with Russia's behaviour in the 21st century.

It seems more presents are being given out and received by Putin. This time he received a sword:

"The King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, was in Sochi for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin – and had gifts in tow. The head of the gas-rich nation presented Russia’s leader with a saber made from Damascus steel and other precious metals. The King himself even took part in designing the weapon."



He in turn presented the King of Bahrain, the King who skipped a meeting with US President Barack Obama in order to join Queen Elizabeth II at a horse show in the UK, with a horse:

"but not just any horse – one so good that it has won a best of breed award on two occasions. The four-year-old stallion named Khadzhibek is an Akhal-Teke, a breed which has a reputation for speed, endurance and intelligence."

Hafedh used to visit Hamad's father quite often, so this was probably some old gift he found in a cupboard which he thought he'd recycle.

Yeah, you'd know all about that.
SPOOKy.

Which he originally got from Putin and re-gifted to Obama.

Cheapskate.

Allegedly the person appointed by the UK government to lead the Inquiry in the Alexander Litvinenko death case lack the objectivity and legal basis to accept the position.

"Sir Robert Owen appears to have lacked the legal qualifications to chair the recently-concluded Inquiry in the Alexander Litvinenko death case.

That hands Prime Minister David Cameron a hot potato. Will he continue to bluff his way through, contending that Owen's report is legitimate? Or will he do the right thing and recall the bogus document?"




"The law requires that an official Inquiry be conducted impartially. Indeed, the Inquiries Act of 2005 carries a clear "requirement of impartiality."

In his previous role as a coroner he overstepped his role by blaming Russia as the criminal.

"When Owen flatly refused to carry out his statutory duties, Home Secretary Theresa May literally laid down the law. On July 17, 2013, she officially told him to stop his illicit criminal investigation and concentrate on his actual duties. In response, Owen finally capitulated. On December 18, 2013, he wrote:

"I have therefore reluctantly come to the conclusion that Russian state responsibility should also be withdrawn from the scope of the inquest."

Subsequently appointed to the role in the Official Inquiry.

"What's not to understand about Owen's obvious partiality? Instead of following the law that instructed him not to place blame, he pursued culpability with a vengeance. That means he lacked an overriding qualification for chairing the official Inquiry. He was not impartial. He lacked objectivity.

In a March 2014 report, a select committee in Parliament addressed the problem of objectivity when conducting an official Inquest. It declared:

"One thing is clear to us. Establishing an inquiry should not be a matter of politics."

Oh FFS don't be such an idiot. Putin had him killed. It's what he does.

What is relevant is that the UK government is ignoring their own laws, recommendations and directions from their own Ministers.

As nobody, in the world, has produced evidence to convict and hence hasn't taken any steps to arrest The LORD, it is quaint that you consider your opinion is correct.

Yes, well since Putin refuses to extradite the killers, that would fucking happen wouldn't it you dumb shit.

Which of the list is a true statement?

1. The "killers" have been tried and convicted, in a court of law, of the killing?
2. The potential killers, been arrested, charged, tried and found guilty by the MSM?
3. You dreamt all of this last night?

Remember this question carries a potential prize of freedom or a leathal injection.

Which of the list is a true statement?

(1) They can't arrest or question the killers because Putin is protecting them.
(2) You're an idiot and a Putin arse licker.

(Clue: Neither of them is false).
