    Putin rattling the cages of war . . .

    Of course the KGB thug uses the same rhetoric as the murderous scum in Beijing, after all - birds of a totalitarian feather . . .

    From the Mongols to Napoleon to the Ottomans to the Germans to the British to the Nazis and now the USA, every big power of day seems to find a reason to stage military assets and relieve Russia of land at its western border.

    Panama kraut here is fully buying into it just like his Nazi ancestors did in 1941. And his British lineage did in 1853.

    One post and you're alredy trashing it - nice work.

    Good Lord . . . are you taking those dark-web drugs again? Being an apologist to thugs like Putin, Xi, Milosevic may be your idea of 'edginess', but it's accompanied by your vacuous rambling.

    Did you even watch the video? Paranoid pandering to the dumbed-down masses fite the narrative quite well.

    Nope. I just believe in the realist school of intl relations.

    Realism is one of the dominant schools of thought in international relations theory, theoretically formalising the Realpolitik statesmanship of early modern Europe. Although a highly diverse body of thought, it is unified by the belief that world politics is always and necessarily a field of conflict among actors pursuing power.

    How dares he to speak like this, why not something like his friends over the ocean, more kindly, more approach-friendly, without any threats (and without any sanctions).

    Wondering why BBC so? Usually, they are very friendly to Putin's speeches. Didn't we have here few times (OK, as long as it survived here 5 minutes) how the BBC skilful journos asked him unpleasant questions, getting unpleasant (for them) answers?

    BTW, the event was 1 month ago - and commented here that time - sorry, you were not available to contribute your funny pictures with tovarish and vodka?

    Anyway, don't we have now another sorrows to solve than the poor health of Mr. Navalny? (yaaawnnn...)

    Isn't this about access to the Mediterranean and Nato forces in Estonia?

    Difficult to say as he states in the vid:

    "... cross Russia's red line ... as it is Russia who decides where the red line is"... "they will regret it like no-one has regretted it for a long time"

    He sounds like Trump . . . but this KBG bastard would do it

    I believe this is in regard t troop build-up near Ukraine.

    Red line is a common geopolitical term. Everyone uses it. For example , putting missiles in Cuba was going across the US's red line. Even though Cuba had every sovereign right to do it.

    Ukraine is one of Russia's red lines all the same. And that's why there was/is a war. It's beyond me why Putin hasn't reopened the bases in Cuba. There's surely people in the Russian establishment that want to. But maybe we'll have to wait for Putins successor for that to happen.

    Very good paragraph.

    Yes, Ukraines is an absolute red line for Russia . . . and one that Russia abuses to the extent of re-drawing it by invasion and annexation. I'm sure you and I disagree on the terminology, but that's ok.

    Cuba? The Cuban leadership was simply useful to the Soviet Union because of the US' stance towards it - the current government isn't going to allow Russian missiles on their island anymore - that ship has sailed, so to speak.
    Obama normalised relations to a certain extent, which the orange buffoon raked back . . . Biden and Cuba? I don't really know.

    Whether or not some in the Russian establishment want bases or missiles in Russia won't matter as Cubans make the call, not Russians . . . and with better relations with the US, Cuba isn't going there.

    Good points, thanks
