    Amazing how NATO can break all previous promises to Russia and station rockets within 5 minutes flying time of Moscow yet when the Russians move troops around within their own country they are accused of 'aggression' ! Apparently the CIA are certain that the Russians are going to attack - just as they were 'certain' about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - in fact they are 'certain' when it comes to all supposed 'facts' which allow NATO (puppet of the USA) to continue with their expansion. They blabber on about sovereignty but this would soon disappear if a neighbour of the USA signed a military pact with Russia.

    Where are these missiles situated - genuine question?

    US speculation is easy for Russia to prove wrong. Don't invade Ukraine. But right now it looks like Russia are about to invade and blame the US and UK for talking it up. Hitler did something similar.

    Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Romania are all NATO members Goldie - the first three of these being against promises made by the West to Gorbachov at the time of the dissolution of the USSR. The Russians are perfectly justified to build up their military forces close to the border of a country which shows signs of joining an alliance which is hostile to Russia - the USA would do the same if the roles were reversed. The long term security can only be secured if Russia is built into NATO as an ally (on an equal basis to the USA) and not with the assumption that they are alway the evil enemy.

    I know they're NATO countries. But do they all have missiles aimed at Moscow?

    Build up forces, if Russia must. But not invade a sovereign country.

    How can Russia be trusted when they send out assassination squads, are a dangerous and destructive cyber threat and have no respect for democracy?

    They’re almost as much of a rogue state as we are.

    How can a country be trusted that walks into one country after another and claims everyone who objects to their presence is a terrorist, and leaves absolute chaos behind them time and time again - all based on the flimsiest of evidence such as claims of weapons of mass destruction etc. etc. It appears that the Ukrainians are also irritated by the latest panic mongering from Washington (and their pet poodles in London) and feel that the sabre rattling is actually creating more insecurity than anything coming from Moscow. So it appears that Russia says it doesn't want to invade - Ukraine doesn't believe they will, only the CIA (who have been noted for their accurate and unbiased info in the past) believes it (or says so anyway).

    I didn't think we should go into Iraq, but that's a Labour government for you.

    I'm no fan of Biden whatsoever, but if he let US nationals stay in Ukraine and Russia invaded, he'd rightly be criticised. For once, he acted prudently, because apart from anything else, no one believes a word Putin says on the international stage. And with good reason.

    To be fair Col……us in the West are no better…and you could say in many ways far worse.
    The British State has been involved in murder and state sponsored terrorism so for us to throw stones is somewhat hypocritical……now who do we think killed David Kelly ?

    We still think we’re a big name. We’re the Leeds of international relations.

    David Kelly committed suicide according to an independent inquiry. If you know more, Stainsey, I'd be interested.

    Look at Litvinenko, and the poisonings in Salisbury. We don't do that, otherwise Burgess, Maclean wouldn't have died of natural causes in old age.
