This is the thing - all well talking about sanctions but London is partly built on dirty Russian money. We housed so many oligarchs and other despots here and their families. We are hardly in any position to crow about sanctions when the times were good.
RT news is funded by the Kremlin. It’s 100% bias - I wouldn’t listen to them.
I don’t see how going to Ireland will help unless you’re Ukrainian?
Most likely to happen is that fuel prices go up. The Russians don’t want a full blown war, especially on Western soil so I doubt there would be any military action. I can see the Russians maybe hacking things to disrupt the West but nothing too bloody. In my own personal opinion I don’t think we will see much of a change and the only change will the fuel price increases.
I like how sassy the Ukrainian embassy to U.K. is being

I mean, RT is a Russian state controlled network. The same state that is staging provocations left and right and, on its Twitter, claims that "Russia has made and is making efforts to resolve all matters peacefully."
I'm not saying the war will necessarily escalate or that Western media is impartial, but perhaps RT is not the most reliable source?Here's a prime example of what Russian state propaganda looks like -
I dislike Trump but he was known as a hothead and mad so the other countries didn't really duck with him. There was actually quite a lot of peace when he was in power Ironically they think they can walk all over Biden, Afghanistan falls and Russia invades Ukraine, the world stage thinks he's weak. I worry it will be China invading Taiwan next .
Is anyone listening to Parliament discussions on this? They are all very concerned now.
Can’t help but agree. Detest Trump but Biden is not the one. With the population of America being what it is, I can’t believe he’s the best they can do.
Vote Kanye
joking of course. There must be someone who is strong but also sane ?
Sir Keir saying RT should be taken down is so foolish, even if its broadcasting rights were taken away it's very hard to actually stop people streaming it over the internet. Would drive more viewers trying to shut it down and would be less checked by broadcasting authorities if it was internet only.
I find it good to view the Kremlin's mouthpiece and see their ridiculous take on it all. Stupid people will believe stupid stuff, there's not much that can be done about that.

Thanks, genuinely appreciate this. Is there any more balanced and reliable news sources?

This by Edward Lucas a few weeks ago lays Britain’s position bare
“Britain stands out not for its mettle in resisting the Russian regime but for aiding and abetting it. Kremlin cronies have for years used London to launder their reputations and ill-gotten gains… One reason for inaction may be the role that wealthy, murky figures, often with Russian connections, play in the Conservative Party’s finances. From the shadows of Whitehall, I hear repeated grumbles that the prime minister is personally resistant to any discussion of this issue.”
Imagine if he could tell us what he actually knows

That’s one way of looking at it, but it seemed to me that he spent most of his presidency trying to dismantle (or weaken) the alliances that had kept Europe largely peaceful since WW2. He certainly liked to portray a strongman image in his dealings with NATO, the EU etc., but he was far less bullish when meeting with the likes of Putin and Kim Jong-un.
I wonder how much dirty russian money is floating round our economy ?This by Edward Lucas a few weeks ago lays Britain’s position bare

Honestly, I don't know - I have my favourites but I'm aware they're biased, too.
I think the key is not relying on a single source and being aware of the political leanings of your sources. Reuters is generally quite good for fact-checking as they're a news agency that other sources can buy content from and they don't lean neither left nor right, but they're not a newspaper if you know what I mean.
yes as a nation I don't think we can criticise anyone's leader with us having a lying, cheating psycho as our PM.Then again I look at Boris and feel the same
Why go to ireland ? I personally do not think will be out right war personally could be wrong though
Yeah if Western Europe get’s nuked you’ll still get fall out in Ireland even if you don’t have a direct hit (I don’t think we are going to get nuked by the way
).
).
There's a few journalists also summarising some of the news on Twitter, obviously bias should be considered

Surely if they start throwing nukes around that will trigger everyone else doing the same, like India and Pakistan, Israel etc etc? And the end of everything? And no where would be “safe”
