  1. Having pushed Ukraine into war, the US does not know to save it. Having started it, Russia does not know where to end it. Having been pushed into the war, Ukraine doe not know how to come out of it.

  2. Oh please . Putin if your that tough . Get outside on your horse . And fight your war. . Yes this is a war . Not a exercise. You are lying to your soldiers . . I pray they get it this is your war . Not theirs

  3. So basically in the Shogun days of Japan when they were trying to take over China and they were losing badly but none of the advisers wanted to tell the Shogun or they would be executed so they basically lied and said everything is going well…

  4. THE GREAT OIL AND GAS RIP OFF.. PRESIDENT PUTIN STATES THERE ARE NO SHORTAGES..
    EUROPEAN UNION CREATES SHORTAGES AND HIKES PRICES 200%..
    GREED GREED GREED..
    I HOPE PRESIDENT PUTIN CUTS OFF ALL THE SUPPLIES..
    THEN WE WILL SEE A COMPLETE U TURN IN PRICES..

  5. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” " no matter in what form or expression that State is. All States see truth as their mortal enemy " . now up to you to check who said these words that are 100 % fact

  6. It would be ironic, indeed, if Putin ended up as in the dark about the war as the Russian people he's been shielding from the truth. The liar is being lied to. Lies caused the war. Lies are fuelling the war. And, one way or another, lies will be its aftermath.

  7. Of course Putin knows the truth of the progress (or lack of it) in Ukraine). The Russian people may not be able to watch independent news channels from the West reporting the truth but you can bet that Putin and the gangsters that form his government can. It is either a deliberate intelligence ploy to paint Putin as isolated from reality and only fed the information he wants to hear from his subordinates or the UK intelligence community is incredibly (and worryingly!) naïve.
