"I’d say Johnson et al can’t quite believe their luck! Nothing like a good old war to whip up a patriotic fury and distract the masses from domestic issues. They can now quietly slip through legislation and blame the fall out of Covid corruption/fraud and Brexit economic disaster and inflation/cost of living crisis on Russia! The Roman’s knew it “bread and circuses”. Thatcher knew it with the Falklands (that one got her out of a pickle and two more election wins). If it wasn’t Russia BJ would be sending British troops. The Tories only achilles heal is dirty Russian money swimming around the Conservative Party and possible renewed focus on Putin’s funding of anti-EU and Brexit activity." Exactly its so refreshing to see other people are waking up thanks for your input | |||

Exactly its conditioning us keeping us in line! Scare mongering! One threat to another " You’re suggesting that governments around Europe (or is it the world?) are complicit with the invasion of Ukraine because it takes focus away from covid? That’s the theory? But covid was receding into the background anyway, restrictions being lifted in lots of countries, so it makes no sense for any kind of “distraction”, as there isn’t really anything to distract from any more. | |||

And who are you suggesting has created this situation in order to “keep us in line”? The Uk is not under direct threat from what is happening in Ukraine, Ukraine is. Trying to dismiss what is happening in Ukraine as some sort of scare tactic to keep us in line makes no sense to me. | |||

Russia wants to take Ukraine as cleanly as possible, not obliterate it, so are hoping that huge shows of force will convince Ukraine to give in quickly. Killing thousands of people makes it more and more of a PR disaster for Russia, and they will want to avoid that if they can. Referring to the invasion as a fabrication beggars belief | |||

"It's mirroring what Tony blare did in Iraq its no different fabricated a cause and then created a war to in wich ultimately the government benefits from" Our government has fabricated the invasion of Ukraine? This is a lot different to Iraq, as British forces are not involved. But yes, Blair (not blare) lied, invented a reason to invade Iraq, and what he and bush did was very clearly a war crime (invading a country for the purposes of regime change) | |||

"Slight tangental point... “but the fact is Russia have the most advanced military in the world” Really? What makes you say that? I suspect the USA might have something to say about that. The Russians certainly have a massive military that is very advanced, but “most advanced” hmmm I don’t think so." Putin can fire rockets from a damn satellite ffs and the USA were more advanced under trump but sleepy joe sold it all to the taliban inface he didn't even sell it he literally left billions of dollars of black hawk helicopters and tanks behind and now Israel have them as the taliban could not pilot them so they sold them | |||

"Yes, it is strange how when one event like covid is almost over, another event starts, it makes you wonder doesnt it." I was reading last night how America is using the same guidance as us re a nuclear attack-i.e "nothing to worry about " but they have gone a step further and issued guidance in the event of an attack (there was some very good info, ie if you are caught outside or in your car etc) one point I did find a bit strange was that you were advised to take a couple of covid masks with you for your kids in a shelter, and to observe social distancing at all times due to covid!

You know sometimes what is written is all there is! I am not Tory bashing or ignoring Blair’s legacy. I am stating that our current govt are corrupt opportunists who have used crisis situations to further enrich themselves. Power is only a means to an end = money. Power provides further opportunity for self enrichment. If they can find ways to hedge their bets to stay in power longer then that is great for them as again it provides more opportunities to get richer. | |||

The Roman’s knew it “bread and circuses”. Thatcher knew it with the Falklands (that one got her out of a pickle and two more election wins). If it wasn’t Russia BJ would be sending British troops. The Tories only achilles heal is dirty Russian money swimming around the Conservative Party and possible renewed focus on Putin’s funding of anti-EU and Brexit activity. Exactly its so refreshing to see other people are waking up thanks for your input Not quite sure what I am supposed to have woken up to? Just to be clear, I do not think Covid itself has been a fraud etc but I do think the pandemic has been an authoritarian / disaster capitalist / corrupt opportunist’s wet dream. They simply couldn’t believe their luck at the amazing opportunity afforded to them to push through their agenda and enrich themselves and family/friends. Now the war in Ukraine provides yet another opportunity. What “agenda” do you think is being pushed through courtesy of the Ukraine invasion? The suggestion they western leaders are haiku about this in some way is ludicrous, as the saga has made them look weak and ineffectual. Why would any government be happy about a development that makes them look so toothless? Maybe you should look up the meaning of the word “opportunist”. Instantly try to move towards “global conspiracy” which is plainly ludicrous but bypassing everything else that comes first! All govts have an agenda. Some are good for the many and some are good for the few. In the UK we have a govt led by corrupt opportunists whose primary aim is self enrichment and the slow erosion of accountability, public scrutiny or protest. When an OPPORTUNITY presents itself to distract the masses (a pandemic, a war, an energy crisis etc) it makes it easier to achieve your aims. That isn’t a “conspiracy” it is the nature of those currently in power. Looking ineffectual and toothless doesn’t exactly enhance their chances of staying in power though. And it is delusional to try to pin the behaviour that you describe on the current lot given what Blair who lied and led the country into an illegal invasion. I realise that Tory-bashing is the popular thing to do, but Labour have a far worse record when it comes to international conflict. There you go again saying things I didn’t say. You know sometimes what is written is all there is! I am not Tory bashing or ignoring Blair’s legacy. I am stating that our current govt are corrupt opportunists who have used crisis situations to further enrich themselves. Power is only a means to an end = money. Power provides further opportunity for self enrichment. If they can find ways to hedge their bets to stay in power longer then that is great for them as again it provides more opportunities to get richer.

"I’d say Johnson et al can’t quite believe their luck! Nothing like a good old war to whip up a patriotic fury and distract the masses from domestic issues.

"Yes, it is strange how when one event like covid is almost over, another event starts, it makes you wonder doesnt it. I was reading last night how America is using the same guidance as us re a nuclear attack-i.e "nothing to worry about " but they have gone a step further and issued guidance in the event of an attack (there was some very good info, ie if you are caught outside or in your car etc) one point I did find a bit strange was that you were advised to take a couple of covid masks with you for your kids in a shelter, and to observe social distancing at all times due to covid!
Either they are pandering to bed-wetters or do they know something we dont?Yes and schwabs name keeps comming up, putin where one of his students as well, it is like world events are orchestrated isnt it.
That's because they are ffs"Seriously? If international relations have taught us anything, it is that world leaders can’t agree on anything, and the chances of them orchestrating anything and keeping it secret is zero. Conspiracy theories are based on levels of competence, organisms secrecy that simply do not exist in the real world . Total fantasy | |||
