If you want to be friends with Putin's Russia then that's entirely up to the US and it's Government, we British did fall out with him Putin's Russia after Russian Agents poisoned Alexander Litvinenko with Polnium-210 in London in 2006, leaving a radiation trial across London. The Russians also refused Scotland Yards request in relation to questioning suspects Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun and refused an extraditon request.

Litvinenko's death was later followed by Billionare Putin critic Boris Berezovsky's death and numerous others. Putin response was to send nuclear capable bombers to fly over Britain.

Putin also enjoys placing spy ships off Western Countries coastlines and last year NATO warplanes had to scramble 800 times in relation to Russian Aircraft entering NATO Airspace, which is twice the number as the year before. Whilst Putin currently has vast Russian forces placed along European Borders.

Then you have all the controversy related to the influencing of western politics and cyber crime, indeed Putin is now setting up a new branch of the Russian Armed Forces which will focus solely on information warfare.

This is what all sane people call BS and fake news.
The western joutnalism nowadays is misinterpretations and fake news. But since there is a huge info war against Russia, all their articles are "credible" sources.
My british friend, as I remember, I have already told you that the allegations of the globalist media that demonize Russia (Putin) is not any evidence at all. There is no any real proof that Putin is behind of all those murders, hacks etc. All people with a little brain would easy understand that eliminating Litvinenko or Berezovsky is absolutely pointless for Putin. Why murder Litvinenko with such fancy way after he was already "emptied" by MI5? It would be a point to eliminate him to make him silence. But it's pointless after his collaboration with MI5 for years. And what the point to kill Berezovsky that wrote a letter to Putin asking him forgiveness and permission to come back Russia? In fact, Berezovsky was murdered right after a few days of sending the letter to Putin. Those people were killed by MI5 and this is blatantly obvious. And british media that serves NWO agenda covers MI5 tracks very good with aggressively false accusation of Russia and Putin. And sheeple believed them.

The only intrest we really have is trade, and a lot of people would like to see that ended and to cut off relations between Britain and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore Saudi Arabia should not be used as an excuse to ignore the activities of other countries, such as Russia. Two wrongs do not make a right.

We do lecture them on the little things, like assassinating people in the middle of London with radioactive material and leaving a trial of radiation across London. Russia's appalling Human Rights record speaks for itself, as does it's atitude to certain groups in society and indeed women.

The neighbouring countries are free to join whatever organisations they wish, they are not governed by Moscow, indeed the best way to ensure a NATO presense in the East is to continue to base large Russian forces on Europe's borders.

It was confirmed as a Russian Missile Launcher which was very quickly put on to the back of a truck and driven back across the border. This much was confirmed.

You don't need to be especially observant to notice that they are surrounding Russia wherever possible, obviously there's more bases to the east in Alaska, but that's perfectly reasonable. If they could place bases in China and Mongolia there's no doubt that they would. Put yourself in Russia's shoes, would you not feel antagonised by this? Imagine if Russia had military bases in Canada and Mexico? The US would be outraged, and rightly so.
That just shows a lot of US Flags there's nothing to suggest the size of the US bases or their purpose, as for the positioning of most of the bases most are no where near Russia, and there are very few US Personnel in Europe anymore never mind in places such as Kazakhstan.

Your post is too idiotic to even waste valuable time and energy responding to, other than to state Litvinenko and Berezovsky were merely harsh critics of Putin, and Putin hated them. Litvineko especially angered Putin by calling him a paedophile.

As for 'Security Service' MI5 it's mainly involved in National Security and threats to the UK such as terrorist threats, and they work closely with the police counter terrorism units.

Security Service - MI5

The 'Secret Inteligence Service' (MI6) as it's name suggests gathers Secret Intelligence about countries and individuals.

Secret Intelligence Service - MI6

Government Communication Headquarters - GCHQ

There was a inquiry in to the Litvinenko poisoning led by Sir Robert Owen and a 300 page report was published in 2015.

This post of yours (below) is another good example of it

You desire to suggest people that Russians are so bad providing this vid as a proof of your sentence knowing that nobody can translate the video properly. But you failed here very badly. I am fluent in Russian and just watched the video. And all I can say here you are acting like the BS-ing anti-Russia propaganda that full of lies and inventions. Like a professional propaganda troll.
The content of the vid has nothing to do with your mean accusation. Actually, everything is the other way round in the vid.
If it was just first time you're acting like this, I would have thought that you are just deluded and mistaked. But you doing this very often. And that's disgusting!

Two wrongs?? What about all the other countries we do not confront with a much worse record than Russia...China?? Please.....

Until there is not unquestionable proof that Putin sends people around killing folks that have no chance of harming him anyway it's all speculation. He is a tough SOB, he is not an idiot.

Indeed.....free not gently pushed into coups....you want to place large forces and so does Russia...

Wild speculation on who shot that plane....so no proof.

I guess you are at loss for arguments...let me ask you a question...how many overseas bases has the US?? How many has Russia?? ....yes.....exactly....

Who doesn't want us to be friendly with them? The British?
If one of my friends hacked my email accounts and put my private **** out there in the street, I'd pretty much divorce them and unfriend them at the least. Most likely do a lot more than just that. Maybe put a bag of sugar in their gas tank and key the **** out of their car.

You even don't realize that you have just showed the true level of your understanding of things with your response. And this level is not your trump card.
