    Tell us what you don't like about Telegram. It's possible for truth-seeking researchers to post their research there which gets censored almost everywhere else. If some info is wrong, it will fall by its own lack of merit. Censorship is only necessary when a lie is being defended.

    Truth doesn't get "censored" anywhere in the western world, Scott. Red flag.

    Russian owning the size of military they have and the nuclear war heads means that the only umbrella that can guarantee security or a fighting chance is one with the United States in it.

    Russia would have to reduce it's arms.

    A country like Lithuania would have no shot in defending itself even if it were backed by all the ex soviet States combined. So what you are suggesting is just unrealistic.

    Russia needs to elect a governance that isn't wanting to expand.

    Both situations feel unrealistic to me. Are we forever going to defend the sovereign integrity of the European States? Something that shall be passed down to each generational President? So while I look at it from both sides of the conflict, I look at it most importantly from an American Prospective and I want to wring my hands of this.

    It would be great if there were a 'democratic' Russia, but Russia has been imperialist for more than two centuries now. Dating all the way back to the Duchy era as well as the Tsar. It took two world wars for a German Republic, and hell the first republic itself originally didn't last and that's the 'ideal' outcome, because if that was Germany there's no way in hell the Russian speaking people will go democratic on us.

    Like I will literally be shocked if the Russian speaking population goes pro democracy. The best we would get is a monarchy that is willing to be less aggressive, and will look to attain the russian perceived security issues through diplomatic chains.

    What about all the stuff that gets deleted from YouTube and other sites? Are you familiar with all of it? Do you maintain that none of the deleted stuff is true?

    Are you familiar with all of it? Is anybody?

    Scott, you think that the Apollo missions were a hoax. Has it ever occurred to you that you might lack the capacity to discern truth from porky pies?

    If you're not familiar with all of it, why did you make that statement?

    Because it is true, of course. Truth is not censored in western countries.

    It is Democratic. So Democratic they have multiple political parties. About a dozen. And the most popular party is the one Putin leads. He gets elected because the most people vote for him. They don't have mail ballot scams like we have here.

    Sorry to burst any bubbles of western propaganda.

    NATO is teetering on collapse. That kind of stuff happens when the clueless figure out the sanctions only benefit one NATO party. All kinds of protests are popping up against NATO across Europe.

    As to your second point, you are exactly right. Europe needs to handle their own security agreements.

    These guys will never admit anything no matter how silly their arguments are. I've found that the best way to make it obvious to all viewers and lurkers that these posters are frauds is to ask them to address simple issues that have clear answers. They then have to say some really lame things to maintain their positions. Finally the viewers and lurkers will just skip their posts.

    Notice that Bill won't respond to the questions I asked him above. He's afraid to.

    Great Find .. propaganda spin designed for morons -- as who would believe such a thing lest one was not intellectually impaired in some way ..and or logically deficient ..lacking rational thought.

    Its always interesting when the commentator knows this is one for the dense sheep who will not think about it long enough for the obvious to sink in ... they picked up some "Moon landing faked" silliness alluding to some nefarious link to Kremlin propaganda ..

    but its all just a scam .. wham bam thank you mame hoax created by the Western Media .. the German Rachel Madow it would seem .. telling lies with big smile.. Funny stuff for sure :)

    Obviously no one in Russia would believe such obviously false nonsense . everyone knowing someone who had relative dead so far in this fake war .. so who is the target audience .. the casual western observer .. who's not going to think long enough to see the scam .. and doesn't really care .. but will get some doublespeak propaganda bug floating about in his subconsious whispering sweet nothings - contributing to the necessary delusion.

    Yah mon .. Good find .. Got to extract those poison lizards ....

Welcome to another crucifixion .. of ridiculously absurd position

    You don’t know history my dear friend.
    In 1939 Russia and Nazi Germany signed Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact about friendship and how to divide Poland.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact

    On Sept 1, 1939 Nazi Germany attacked Poland from the west and of Sept 17 non-Nazi Russia attacked Poland from the East.

    On Sept 22, 1939 Nazi Germany and non-Nazi Russia celebrated victory parade in Brest-Litovsk
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Soviet_military_parade_in_Brest-Litovsk

    And in 1940ties non-Russia helped Nazi Germany to fight England and France by delivering to Nazi Germany strategic materials:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Soviet_Commercial_Agreement_(1940)

    So when Russia become anti-Nazi? From June 22, 1941 when Russia dear friend attacked her.
    And from then the victory parade instead in Brest-Litovsk Russia celebrates in Moscow.

    And who killed more innocent civilians until 1940, Russia or Nazi Germany?
    Well, the clear winner is Russia, here are some Russian achievements taken from this site:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_the_Soviet_Union

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror about 100 thousand murdered
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Operation_of_the_NKVD about 110 thousand murdered
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor - few millions starved to death
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Purge - more than 700 thousand murdered
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyn_massacre = about 20 thousand murdered

    Spare me your links my Jewish friend, you don't want to get into a history fight with me. Nevertheless, we are talking about the 'here and now' and now you are supporting nazis in ukraine, are you not? If you are supporting the ukie military, you are supporting nazis. You can't have it both ways nor can you use your ethnicity as a shield and a sword. I won't play that game.
