    He's clinging by his fingertips to anything that he thinks fuels his deluded fantasy world.

    There's nothing like what you say under the video when I watch it.
    I think other videos are personalised.

    <laugh> You can't honestly think that surely?

    He's been sacked for lying, there's a whole website dedicated to his lies, fact checking is done on a daily basis, he's lied to the Queen, the list goes on and on.

    He's incapable of telling the truth.

    I've never really looked at tik tok much, so I don't know.

    Forcing Russia to pay reparations would be a bad idea. Look what happened when we forced the Germans to pay reparations at the end of World War I. After World War II, the Americans brought in the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, especially Germany, to avoid a repeat.

    Former Communist USSR was a nationalised internal market but since 1990 most of the State-owned industries have been hived off to the oligarchs, who Putin allows to have their own way so long as they do not threaten him. Sanctions have quickly crippled Russia economically because their Western assets are now inaccessible so they are dependent upon their trade with the likes of China and Iran for foreign reserves.

    With regard to Nato getting involved in Ukraine, I do think that there is a genuine case for action. We have to realise that we now face a new Cold War with a weak, desperate Russia. Ironically, the last President of the USA was the one who highlighted the underinvestment in defence by many of the European members so Britain clearly needs to show some leadership.

    I'm not on tik tok, it was sent to me, but just clicked the link again and there are indeed videos of scantily clad girls, but it also says above them that the are the top videos of the day. Probably the most watched videos?

    I'm a poet and I don't know.

    Has it offered anything to the Commie/Ukraine war other than the usual crap?

    I think you are being a bit unkind to the Germans there. The problem with the anti-tank missiles that they sent is that they are years after their ‘best before’ date because Merkel never spent anything on defence – her former Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen sent German troops on manoeuvres with broom handles because they did not have enough rifles. Reportedly the missiles that they are sending are Strela missiles that were made in East Germany when it was behind the Iron Curtain and have corroded in storage because the German army never used them. So really it could be argued that old Russian anti-tank missiles do not work against the Russians.

    And are we really killing ‘commies’? Putin is an autocrat and Russia can scarcely be considered communist with most of its key assets in the hands of a few oligarchs rather than the State.

    Are you reporting live from Ukraine? Or are you spouting gibberish from somewhere in the Midlands, as usual?

    So a country should be able to destroy another country? Who should pay for that? Just leave it as it is? Should the civilised world pay for it?

    No, clearly one country should not be allowed to destroy another country but there are plenty of instances of that happening and a blind eye being turned.

    The Marshall Plan loaned money for rebuilding and the primary objective of the US in introducing it was to stop the war ravaged countries of Western Europe slipping into communism. Famously the biggest recipient was the UK but our Lend Lease repayments lasted until 2006; and history shows that it was the sort of bad financial agreement that one might associate with Labour. West Germany (as it was in 1948) got the second largest slice of the cake.
