These people are not working with logic & reason...they are working off of bias, emotion, and derangement.
If I claimed that the Russians said the Earth was a sphere...they would say it's flat, just to disagree.

Most Russians I have met are not fond of Russia or the quality of life they "enjoyed" when living in that country. I've never met a Russian who expressed a patriotic love of the motherland. The place where you will find the most pro Russian sentiment is on the internet. Probably all those bots paid by Putler to spread the word that Russia ain't so bad. Of course, they wouldn't have to pay people to say nice things about Russia if it wasn't a 2nd world nation with a poor quality of life run by a former KGB hitman whose best days have long since past.


CCP bots and Russian bots will end up battling one another for internet superiority... While normal people go about living their lives, oblivious to it all.

And don't forget the Ukrainian bots. Plenty of them here too.

What is in the latest military aid package to Ukraine? I didn't know that one Patriot system consists of 8 launchers.

I wonder if I can be put on a list of future recipients, because the way things are going, this little part of England, could be just a few days/weeks, (never know), away from needing them.

England, as in the UK. The UK is a nuclear power. They are relatively safe. A few crazy terrorists will attack any country nuclear or not, but countries like China, Russia, and North Korea won't attack the UK. Few people understand how much leverage being a nuclear power gives.

The USA, the UK, NATO won't attack Russia for the same reason. Putin even uses Russia's nuclear power to blackmail the world.

I really hope so, because where I am, we can see their navy pass by while cruising the channel, testing our defences.

I do. They're mostly obscure ("Russia beyond", I mean - really) - and unsupportive of his statements.

Headline: Russia is sooper-dooper leading edge in nuclear technology. Content: OK, so its's actually conversion of uranium ore into yellowcake (verrry high tech) where they hold 40% of the world's capacity.
