It is coming though Mel, a world dominated by China, India and Russia. NATO, the EU and Washington will be irrelevant in the new order.

I'm happy that the prospect makes you happy Ronald.

I wonder what it's like to be irrelevant in the here and now?

Or go missing, or end up in hospital. That said we do also have to be careful to not confuse some stuff with overenthusiastic nationalism in some case, we get that occasionally as well.

Er..., Ronnie,

do you think now is a good time to ask your comrades to give Koenigsberg back?

The USSR won the war did they not comrade?! I think they (Russian Federation) should have retained a large presence across Europe to prevent future wars, its a shame they left most of the territory at the end of the cold war yet Washington keeps military bases across Europe.
If Russia wishes to rebalance things then fine.

You on the afternoon shift at the Kremlin today Ronald from 'Cornwall'?

How many times do you have to reread your posts to make sure you've not slipped in an inadvertent 'we' instead of 'they' before you post??

I am just here to help you all understand the situation better. I know it won't work as for years you have almost all certainly suffered western propaganda. I used to believe their lies to, they even conned me into supporting the Iraq war. But once they tried it in Libya I could see through their lies and despite that failure and disaster they wanted to do it again in Syria, they still might.

Advice noted and accepted Buster.

Don't worry, Mel. He'll go away again once he's reached his monthly post quota.

:ok:

Oh come on, he is humorous. we need some light relief sometimes, its not as if anyone takes him seriously do they?

Probably takes himself serious as he doles out the Putin's honest truth.

I was reading all the Ronald Reagan posts and assuming it was all a tongue in cheek joke, but looking again, wow. :ooh:

Given Putin's miscalculations vis a vis Western reactions to the Crimean annexation and subsequent invasion of Ukraine, he's probably getting his arse kicked for delivering a duff briefing.

Hence he's really keen to gauge Western appetite for conflict with Russia. Strange he should try and do this on a forum populated by so many who joined up and served at the height of the Cold War.

Does he really think we would shirk an unpleasant task?

The Assault Ship "Vladivostok" left St Nazaire harbour yesterday night at 2.30 am, for a 10-days cruise in the Atlantic with her Russian crew on board (circa 300) and a couple of French Navy instructors .....

Will be interesting to see if it returns:E

I hate so say this, but where has R R gone, I enjoyed his posts.

recalled to Moscow for consultations.
