For the Dingles, yes.

OK, responding to both your points; 1) Perhaps the instigation of a putsch/coup by destabilising the country is what the West are aiming for - it is the logical solution. If everybody hurts, eventually they will start questioning the bollocks that state media is spouting and start to realise the reality of the situation, especially the family and friends of those who have been converted into sunflower fertiliser. 2) The entire country has to be seen as an international pariah. As I posted earlier, if they come out and condemn Putin and his SMO then the Russian media will simply twist it as them being forced to deliver a false narrative - yet more evidence of the West's anti-Russian campaign.

Every other post you put on here, and especially the Blasphemy thread, says otherwise.

Try accepting that YOU ARE NOT THE FOUNT OF ALL WISDOM AND MORALITY ! ( Capitalisation deliberate )

Other than Vlad himself, who else woul;d you sanction ? Remember, it has to hurt enough to convince them that the "special military operation" might actually not be such a good idea as it seemed at the outset.

The narrative in Russia would simply be that the Western conspiracy has led to their athletes being blackmailed into renouncing their heritage. You have to remember that exposure to non-state controlled media outlets is practically non-existent. The vast majority of the Russian population believe that they are fighting a war of liberation to free their Slavic brethren from expansionist NATO/EU aggression aimed at destroying Russia's national identity.

Ian Blackford is enjoying the fact that the Speaker has ruled that in this debate, on the specifics of Partygate, MPs are permitted to call the PM a liar.

"Steve Baker tells the story of a constituent who didn't get to see his wife of 50 years in a care home before she died, because of lockdown rules. "What am I to say to that man?" the Tory MP asks. "I could say... you and I are Christian men and forgiveness is hard. "[But] I don't want to forgive him. I do not want to forgive our prime minister." After further blistering condemnations of the boss he says he helped get into power, the Tory MP says if he was in any other job, the PM would be "long gone". He adds: "Having watched the contrition... it only lasted as long as it took to get out of the headmaster's study, and that's not good enough for me, and that's not good enough for my voters. "I have to say now the possibility [of forgiveness] has gone... and for not obeying the letter and the spirit, the prime minister now should be long gone. "The prime minister should just know the gig's up."" ----------------------- "William Wragg, Conservative MP and Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, says he cannot hide his views "without ever more elaborate disguises". He says he decided the prime minister "was no longer fit to govern" when the government's winter 2021 press conference on Covid restrictions was moved earlier to move the conversation on from the leaked video of Allegra Stratton joking about a party in Downing Street. He says he knows that Tory MPs are "struggling at the moment" as the party "bears the scars of misjudgements of leadership". There are few Conservatives who can "truly enjoy" being an MP at the moment, and he says it is "utterly depressing" to be asked to "defend the indefensible". "Each time, part of us withers," he states. "We must stop delegating and delaying our political judgement," he says people only have a limited amount of integrity, and it cannot be spent on someone who "we can't be sure will not let us down". Parliament "should be venerated" by MPs who are "given the honour" to represent those in the areas they are from."

And if they win their national media/ propaganda crows about how great their nation and especially their President is.

From the BBC coverage of the debate about BoJo and Partygate ; "Earlier in the week, senior Tory and former Brexit minister Steve Baker said he was "deeply moved" by the PM's apology in the Commons and wanted to forgive him. He repeats that sentiment today, but says "that spirit of earnest willingness to forgive lasted about 90 seconds" into a meeting Boris Johnson held with his backbenchers later the same day. "[It was] an orgy of adulation, a great festival of bombast, and I cannot bear it," says Baker. "This level of transgression, this level of demand for forgiveness requires more than an apology drawing a line under it and moving on in the way the prime minister sought to do in his interviews." He says both Johnson and his advisers "need to understand this is a permanent stone in his shoe" and those who want to forgive him "want to see permanent contrition"."

Every time anybody posts something you disagree with it is "deeply flawed,". Have you ever thought that on occasion you might be out of touch with the general attitude, and possibly your own position is 'flawed' ? ( Cue response attempting to trigger a circular argument ).

All Russians are ( currently ) 'cunts' in the way all Germans ( between 1939 and 1945 ) were Nazis. Alternatively, the Ukrainians call the Russians 'orcs', Russia is 'Mordor', and Putin is 'Sauron'.

If it maintains a 5% growth it will take many decades. The point is that the quote about having a higher growth rate is a statistical sleight of hand and verbal dissembling.

If MLG would just park his monotonously repetitive "genocidal global flood" nonsense he wouldn't get half the grief he brings upon himself.

It is all about perspective; country #1 has a GDP of £1 per capita and is increasing at 5%, (5p per annum ), country #2 has a GDP of £3 and is growing at 3%, ( 9p per annum ,)- country #1 has a faster growing economy based on one measure, (%), and a slower growing economy by another (net growth)

There is a sign at the side of the road where a new bypass is being built, which says "You may not see us, we are working in the field". If you are working in the field, why are there stil speed restrictions on the road ?

Christianity - 2.38 billion. Islam - 1.91 billion. Hinduism - 1.16 billion. Buddhism - 507 million. Folk Religions - 430 million. Other Religions - 61 million. Judaism - 14.6 million. MLG - 1

My moral system allows other people to formulate and hold whatever they want to beleive and subscribe to, without fear of my perpetually mocking them for it. The only exceptions I permit myself are violently extremist radical religious zealots, such as ISIS, and you.

Alternatively, because nobody else supports your position of attempting constantly to ridicule personal belief systems because you have a grossly over-inflated sense of moral superiority..

Why does Batman's mask not cover his entire face ? He needs to show the Police that he is white.

Matthew - saying 'God Bless' is a generic statement of empathy, it does not indicate in any way that the person uttering the comment has a particular belief. In similar vein, when somebody sneezes it is a common practice to respond with "Bless you". Why do you seize every opportunity to mock other people's belief systems ? Are you on some sort of crusade, or just an intolerant jerk ?

Because Johnson will not, and was never going to, lead the Tories into the next election.

MLG - for once, stop being a contrarian twat.
