Nurse!.......Grandads wondered off again. I'm really rather worried about him last time he ended up on the news embarrassing himself telling stories about following through!
Every day people, across the world, do not want war. We want to live a peaceful safe (including no assaults) life, with enough food and energy to be comfortable. Is that too much to ask for?
@@timmcardle5764 Gerald is just mad, all iam saying is he talks like a patriot but he isn't, If Gerald had anything about him he'd be supporting the people of his country
We are threatening no one with a big stick. Putin, is though, and he's invaded Ukraine. If he gets Ukraine, will he come after other countries in Europe, or will he stop? Shall we just wait in see? Then out will come his big stick again.
He doesn't have the power to impeach the US President and dissolve the sitting of the US Congress and Senate. That's the only way to change what is going on.
Here in UK we are only allowed to defend ourselves with proportional force. Retaliating to excess risks criminal penalty. Yet they hold themselves as politicians to a different standard. Russia invades a friend, and they use disproportionate force to retaliate. Politicians proving their hypocrisy as usual
@@fireman-phil7307 Human beings are not aware of where their thought, their feelings originate from and thus are incapable of identifying the origin of the agression. This situation is disastrous for us all.
Polls are showing a majority of Ukraine people want a peaceful end to the war now (understanding this will mean a smaller Ukraine) only 38% are determined to fight on.
I hope your kids Sir Gerald are first on the Front Line, oh of course not they are at Eton! This man is a war monger, UK is a tiny country with zero Military capability
@@ianwebb1402 If you think the UK can go to war with Russia and win, you are off with the fairies. This is a US war and all the European satrapies should leave NATO so they can leave it entirely to the US idiots to lose a war they planned on losing anyway.
Why don't they ' stand up ' to others then ? It's clearly very ' selective' ....... look what happened when Blair went in ' all guns blazing' on wrong information .
@@fireman-phil7307Kuwait was stealing Iraqi oil using slant drilling equipment supplied by the US. Everything they told us to justify these wars was bullshit.
I love watching Men who are too old and unfit to serve anymore talk about making a stand against Russia. Easy for them since they won't be called up to serve.
Gerald Howarth actually served in the RAF during the Cold War. Did you serve at all? Remember that next time before you trash someone whose active Service and experience more than offsets your opinion based on ignorance and prejudice.
@@ianwebb1402 Active Service does not make you a Field Marshall. Active service requires obedience and attention to detail, it does not require diplomatic skills, it does not require military strategy skills and it does not require kissing the asses of US military manufacturers who demand never-ending wars to maximise their murderous profits.
@@rhysjaggar4677 Really? So serving in the Military does not require diplomacy or military strategy skills eh? I can assure you from first hand experience it does. As for whether or not he planted his tongue up some Yank's ring-piece, I don't know. Maybe you know better but quite honestly I don't care.
I’d like to see this fool on the frontlines. The general public do not want a war. Ukraine should withdraw its intent to join NATO and allow Russia to either return the controlled land, or keep the land but help Ukraine financially on an annual basis. Trump will provide Zelenskyy with an ultimatum. Either continue the war without US support, or withdraw from NATO. Trump will threaten the whole of NATO with US withdrawal otherwise.
If I was in Russia I would look at what the British government is doing to various parts of the economy and think, "they are doing a better job , better than we could do" .....
Look at the map from 1991 showing NATO's border with the USSR. The USA promised Gorbachev that NATO would not move East, if he agreed to the Reunification of Germany. Look at the map now, NATO has moved further East towards Russia. You don't have to be a Putin supporter to realise that we have provoked him into some sort of retaliation.
Of course, but Howarth is a paid prostitute who can't be put in a dock for committing acts of treason likely to threaten the National Security of the United Kingdo.
Whilst true, that was only a verbal promise and there is no treaty to back it up. However, the Budapest Memorandum, which they love to bang on about, was initially broken by the US. 19 year old Guardian headline: "US campaign behind turmoil in Kiev".
NATO doesn't have borders. Its member states have borders. How many times do we have to tell ewe Putin-Trolls this to get it through your thick skulls?
@rikimarco1826 This is a myth, although discussed no such promise was ever made. That does not stop the Kremlin making use of it to further its aims and justify its strategy. The bottom line is that neither you or Vladimir Putin can offer clear and unequivocal documentary evidence this promise was ever made. Time to put this myth to bed.
Was Iraq a Sovereign state? What about Afghanistan, or Libya? What about Syria? We invaded those countries, destroyed their infrastructure, demolished their hospitals, schools, drinking water supplies, electricity grid, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, and then left! Except of course that part of Syria where we are still busy exporting their oil. Would someone please explain why we were right, and Russia is wrong? I would really like to know! As for our nuclear threat beneath the seas, does this fool even understand what he is saying! By the time there is a reason to launch, humanity will be gone! What is our MSM even doing? Sitting listening like stuffed parrots. You are doing humanity a great dis-service by not challenging the idiots you interview. You may well contribute to the death of us all!
Here’s a full text of Putin’s address, as provided by the Kremlin. President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I would like to inform the military personnel of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, citizens of our country, our friends across the globe, and those who persist in the illusion that a strategic defeat can be inflicted upon Russia, about the events taking place today in the zone of the special military operation, specifically following the attacks by Western long-range weapons against our territory. The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation. Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations. On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. From that point onward, as we have repeatedly emphasised in prior communications, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has assumed elements of a global nature. Our air defence systems successfully counteracted these incursions, preventing the enemy from achieving their apparent objectives. The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage. In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff. However, the command and operational staff of the control centre suffered no casualties and continues to manage effectively the operations of our forces to eliminate and push enemy units out of the Kursk Region. I wish to underscore once again that the use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished. In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems - in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik. The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit. We are developing intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under far-fetched pretext. Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them. As a reminder, Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world. To reiterate, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites. We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this. It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones. We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information. Why without fear? Because there are no means of countering such weapons today. Missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second. Air defence systems currently available in the world and missile defence systems being created by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible. I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict. We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events. If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.
We weren't right in any of those cases. All the Middle East wars were part of the Project for the New American Century, the most disgusting political treatise I have ever read. Nothing had anything to do with anything but US imperialism.
As he sits in his cosy front room. I thought he was unhappy because the Ukraine government wouldn’t allow Ukrainian children in the east to speak Russian in schools.

Besides the fact we started the fight, who should we fight for the united kingdom of palastine ? We are Anglo saxons. As they say in east Europe who has this issue. Not my monkeys not my circuse
That old man has lived his life and clearly doesn’t care about the future. The fact is, it is over due but way too late, it should have happened years ago. This has come about to disrupt peace talks for when trump comes into office. Unfortunately there’s a lot of rich people making alot of money from this war and they don’t want it to end. I think It’s really sad, I’m worried for my children. We all have nukes but if used, it means mass death and an unlivable planet all for what… egos.. WE ARE NOT THE EMPIRE ANYMORE, we’re a tier 2 military and are nothing without the USA. Don’t worry though, I’m sure the woke battalions can hold the line if it stays conventional 😂
Perfectly said @BrouDog, couldn't agree with you more... The slight 'issue' is your mention of 'nothing without the USA'' we may well be so, but after certain members of our current government said bad comments about T R U M P and his G O P, we may not have such a tight relationship from January!
@Ralla74 yes sorry when I said nothing it was said to brief things up, but my point is we have become a very weak military, due to small man power, low stocks of weapons ect, over spending a lot of money in irrelevant departments. Now also Scrapping warships… and the government is talking like we could take Russia alone which we can’t it’s not possible without nato/ USA support. We are very ill prepared for war, this is not Afghanistan. I do think if war does start they will most likely rely on a draft of young men especially, but could be woman too either way. Not nice for the youngsters that’s for sure. This could all be Deescalated before it’s too late. Everyone is paying more in the shops, bills and this war is major cause of that. All these blank cheques to Ukraine was good at the start because progression was being made but now all that money is going into a stalemate battlefront it’s very pointless. I do support Ukraine’s independence but not if it’s going to destroy the planet or drag thousands of young brits into a war they don’t want to be in. Our military is so small, it wouldn’t last 3 months with the losses that are happening in Ukraine. It’s terrifying
Then again maybe Putin wont go after other countries and may be content with liberating the Donbass region, which was Russias goal all along !...or did i hear the wrong

Putin has zero interest in invading Europe. There's no mineral resources for him to plunder, are there? The cost of the invasions would never be recouped. Russia has greater land area per population than most places on earth. They have zero need for 'Lebensraum'. They'd just prefer it if 'violent noisy neighbours' could eff off back home to where they came from.
The statment to little to late means whats the point. Its not enough its to late for ukraine it just makes things worse for us. Russia will not lose this

I think you mean: 'we've already targeted Russia, whether it was valid or not'. Once you have sent missiles into enemy territory, it is pathetic to think they will not respond.

Because there are no means of countering such weapons today. Missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second. Air defence systems currently available in the world and missile defence systems being created by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible. I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict. We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events. If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.

Here’s a full text of Putin’s address, as provided by the Kremlin. President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I would like to inform the military personnel of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, citizens of our country, our friends across the globe, and those who persist in the illusion that a strategic defeat can be inflicted upon Russia, about the events taking place today in the zone of the special military operation, specifically following the attacks by Western long-range weapons against our territory. The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation. Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations. On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. From that point onward, as we have repeatedly emphasised in prior communications, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has assumed elements of a global nature. Our air defence systems successfully counteracted these incursions, preventing the enemy from achieving their apparent objectives. The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage. In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff. However, the command and operational staff of the control centre suffered no casualties and continues to manage effectively the operations of our forces to eliminate and push enemy units out of the Kursk Region. I wish to underscore once again that the use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished. In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems - in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik. The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit. We are developing intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under far-fetched pretext. Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them. As a reminder, Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world. To reiterate, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites. We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this. It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones. We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information. Why without fear?

Hilarious how they talk about the Budapest Memorandum when the US broke it first. 19 year old Guardian headline: "US campaign behind turmoil in Kiev".
When governments are in trouble the best way out is to give the people something more serious to worry about ,its an old political trick.
"When all else fails, they take you to war."
What a joke little old Putin is becoming.
And you think that Biden, Starmer, Macron, Scholz and Zelensky are 'serious heavy hitters'?
Look at the map from 1991 showing NATO's border with the USSR. The USA promised Gorbachev that NATO would not move East, if he agreed to the Reunification of Germany. Look at the map now, NATO has moved further East towards Russia. You don't have to be a Putin supporter to realise that we have provoked him into some sort of retaliation.
Of course, but Howarth is a paid prostitute who can't be put in a dock for committing acts of treason likely to threaten the National Security of the United Kingdo.
Whilst true, that was only a verbal promise and there is no treaty to back it up. However, the Budapest Memorandum, which they love to bang on about, was initially broken by the US. 19 year old Guardian headline: "US campaign behind turmoil in Kiev".
NATO doesn't have borders. Its member states have borders. How many times do we have to tell ewe Putin-Trolls this to get it through your thick skulls?
@rikimarco1826 This is a myth, although discussed no such promise was ever made.
That does not stop the Kremlin making use of it to further its aims and justify its strategy.
The bottom line is that neither you or Vladimir Putin can offer clear and unequivocal documentary evidence this promise was ever made.
Time to put this myth to bed.
Was Iraq a Sovereign state? What about Afghanistan, or Libya? What about Syria? We invaded those countries, destroyed their infrastructure, demolished their hospitals, schools, drinking water supplies, electricity grid, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians, and then left! Except of course that part of Syria where we are still busy exporting their oil. Would someone please explain why we were right, and Russia is wrong? I would really like to know! As for our nuclear threat beneath the seas, does this fool even understand what he is saying! By the time there is a reason to launch, humanity will be gone! What is our MSM even doing? Sitting listening like stuffed parrots. You are doing humanity a great dis-service by not challenging the idiots you interview. You may well contribute to the death of us all!

WE ARE NOT THE EMPIRE ANYMORE, we’re a tier 2 military and are nothing without the USA. Don’t worry though, I’m sure the woke battalions can hold the line if it stays conventional 😂
Perfectly said @BrouDog, couldn't agree with you more... The slight 'issue' is your mention of 'nothing without the USA'' we may well be so, but after certain members of our current government said bad comments about T R U M P and his G O P, we may not have such a tight relationship from January!
@Ralla74 yes sorry when I said nothing it was said to brief things up, but my point is we have become a very weak military, due to small man power, low stocks of weapons ect, over spending a lot of money in irrelevant departments. Now also Scrapping warships… and the government is talking like we could take Russia alone which we can’t it’s not possible without nato/ USA support. We are very ill prepared for war, this is not Afghanistan. I do think if war does start they will most likely rely on a draft of young men especially, but could be woman too either way. Not nice for the youngsters that’s for sure. This could all be Deescalated before it’s too late. Everyone is paying more in the shops, bills and this war is major cause of that. All these blank cheques to Ukraine was good at the start because progression was being made but now all that money is going into a stalemate battlefront it’s very pointless. I do support Ukraine’s independence but not if it’s going to destroy the planet or drag thousands of young brits into a war they don’t want to be in. Our military is so small, it wouldn’t last 3 months with the losses that are happening in Ukraine. It’s terrifying

As a reminder, Russia has voluntarily and unilaterally committed not to deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles until US weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world.
To reiterate, we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites.
We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation. We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner. I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.
It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones. We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information.
Why without fear? Because there are no means of countering such weapons today. Missiles attack targets at a speed of Mach 10, which is 2.5 to 3 kilometres per second. Air defence systems currently available in the world and missile defence systems being created by the Americans in Europe cannot intercept such missiles. It is impossible.
I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict.
We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events.
If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.
Putin has zero interest in invading Europe. There's no mineral resources for him to plunder, are there? The cost of the invasions would never be recouped. Russia has greater land area per population than most places on earth. They have zero need for 'Lebensraum'. They'd just prefer it if 'violent noisy neighbours' could eff off back home to where they came from.
The statment to little to late means whats the point. Its not enough its to late for ukraine it just makes things worse for us. Russia will not lose this
Stand up to the bully, spot on.
The bully has been the USA for 40 years.
This fella served in the reserves, never been at the sharp end in his life. 🤣
As long as first strike takes out Starmer...
What happened to "grey hair is a sign of wisdom"?
I thought that the guest had something important to say. All he did was Putin bash.
Here’s a full text of Putin’s address, as provided by the Kremlin.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I would like to inform the military personnel of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, citizens of our country, our friends across the globe, and those who persist in the illusion that a strategic defeat can be inflicted upon Russia, about the events taking place today in the zone of the special military operation, specifically following the attacks by Western long-range weapons against our territory.
The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation. Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations.
On November 19, six ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles produced by the United States, and on November 21, during a combined missile assault involving British Storm Shadow systems and HIMARS systems produced by the US, attacked military facilities inside the Russian Federation in the Bryansk and Kursk regions. From that point onward, as we have repeatedly emphasised in prior communications, the regional conflict in Ukraine provoked by the West has assumed elements of a global nature. Our air defence systems successfully counteracted these incursions, preventing the enemy from achieving their apparent objectives.
The fire at the ammunition depot in the Bryansk Region, caused by the debris of ATACMS missiles, was extinguished without casualties or significant damage. In the Kursk Region, the attack targeted one of the command posts of our group North. Regrettably, the attack and the subsequent air defence battle resulted in casualties, both fatalities and injuries, among the perimeter security units and servicing staff. However, the command and operational staff of the control centre suffered no casualties and continues to manage effectively the operations of our forces to eliminate and push enemy units out of the Kursk Region.
I wish to underscore once again that the use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished.
In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems - in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik. The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit.
We are developing intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in response to US plans to produce and deploy intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that the United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the INF Treaty in 2019 under far-fetched pretext. Today, the United States is not only producing such equipment, but, as we can see, it has worked out ways to deploy its advanced missile systems to different regions of the world, including Europe, during training exercises for its troops. Moreover, in the course of these exercises, they are conducting training for using them.

"We threaten nobody" what BS
Men such as Putin rejoice where there are " down at heel " countries and those in vulnerable situations.!
You project onto the USA - look at Russia begging the USA not to take advantage of their economic weakness in 1991....
His children first....
Ever seen the front line, Sir Gerald?
Ironic thing is the stormshadow cant only be fired using us satellite
That means Russia is a valid target for us then.
I think you mean: 'we've already targeted Russia, whether it was valid or not'. Once you have sent missiles into enemy territory, it is pathetic to think they will not respond.
@@rhysjaggar4677
You remind me of those morons who can't tell the difference between supplying weapons & using them.
Bet he's got his nuclear bunker pass with his bus pass in his wallet
I hope he has a good supply of incontinence pads. He's gonna need them!
Blah Blah Blah we been a valid target it since the end of WW2 Lmao
Partially correct. Yes we have been a valid target since WW2. And there's been skirmishes we never hear about under the sea and in the air.
Well he talks a load of sh1t
Propaganda warmongering
I can smell something.
Ukraine is de facto already Nato member
Many on here if transported to 1939 would have allowed Adolph to pick off countries one by one, “ nothing to do with us” .
Until he rolled up on the South Coast.
How many people have your government killed in your adventurous wars with the US in the last 3 decades... have some shame you warmongering psychopath
I think you mistake Adolf for Netanyahu, who is the true Adolf Hitler on earth right now.
Great idea, but how do you defeat Russia, a nuclear super power?
putin and keir are working togethor.
The way things have been going the last 20 years I’m inclined to agree with Putin on the UK being a valid target.
stop advocating destruction.
