Well, it's a nice idea and all but unfortunately there's no feasible way of enacting global democratic control over nuclear weapons. Realistically, we're stuck in a situation where states like Russia have them and there's no real way of enforcing anything other than to call their bluff if they...

What do you think we should do? What can we do? We're dealing with a regime which if pushed enough could resort to the unthinkable. I understand the reluctance to enact a no fly zone around Ukraine but wow, I can understand the frustration of the current and former leaders that are still...

The strength of the resistance in the Ukraine has surprised not just Putin to be fair and I agree, he's miscalculated on more than issue as outlined previous. He's relied on the might of his military arsenal and it hasn't worked up to this point but it's still ongoing and logistical difficulties...

Not after his invasion of the Ukraine and the tell tale signs were already there. Russia was changing back to a pre Gorbachev timeline under his regime and it may be that the West was too complacent to contemplate the likes of what's happening now.

What did happen to all of them supposed bamboo fibre ballots?

Oh, he's cold and calculating but he's miscalculated the strength of the resistance in the Ukraine along with how unified the UN and NATO forces were going to be in response. Don't confuse my not calling him an idiot with anything akin to him being a genius, he isn't. He's bitten off more than...

Cool. :)

Just to clarify, were you agreeing with me or being sarcastic?

Oh, there's no possibility of Trump being right on that score although Putin is hardly thick by any degree either. He's a cold and calculating man and it's pointless to deny that he's intelligent. Unfortunately the warning signs were there for years in regards to Putin given his history but as...

Propaganda is one of the most dangerous methods of disinformation, especially in a country that dictates through its own media what is the "truth". It's oh so easy to criticize this in the comfy environment of the West where we can choose what to watch and where to get our news from but that...

To be fair, the invasion of Iraq shouldn't have happened and the UK was complicit in that also. It was atrocious in itself and pretty much due to calculated politics so it's not just the likes of Putin who are guilty of the like. However, does that excuse his actions in the Ukraine? If Iraq had...

He lost goofball, simple as that. Them's the facts and you carry on yapping on if ya like. Your "facts" are worth as much as Russian state media so whine away as you will. Considering you think he's all of your latter it's a wonder you're still so bothered by what all sane folk have long since...

He invaded a sovereign, independent country with no provocation and is responsible not only for the deaths of Ukrainian people but his own troops for such a reprehensible, calculated act. He's not the only one guilty of war crimes and mass murder in this event, those like Lavrov and all in this...

Oh, I'm not averse to the guy being taken out of the picture, it needs to happen. He's the most dangerous despot in the world right now. But lets not mince words over exactly what he is either, a mass murdering thug no matter what he claims to be.

Trouble is, Putin's words are worth as much in the truth stakes as any other psychopath. He supposedly has ties with the Russian orthodox church and has even prattled on about how the Ukraine has spiritual history with Russia. He is a war criminal, as simple as that. He's invaded a sovereign...

If only that were the actual case. At least you know that the villain in Bond films is going to be thwarted each time and no guarantee of that with this megalomaniac.

In that case someone should have told Trump that the best thing he could have done for himself was to keep his gob shut.

If it's credible then it can be corroborated, or do you just take whatever your sources say at face value?

Nah, but your buttons sure seem to be pushed. Earth, you? Programs giving provision to people sick/out of work does not equate to "socialism". It's relevant because the sane world recognizes that the claims of fraud/rigging were baseless from the get go. That's it's been confirmed after...

That wasn't funny...
