I truly think what Putin fears the most is a fully functioning healthy democracy on his doorstep in Ukraine

As Peter Tatchell points out, STW have previous when it comes to covert support for Putin and Russia...


When we stood in solidarity with #Syria's democrats against Russian imperialism in 2016, Stop the War did NOT condemn #Russia's terror bombing of civilians in #Aleppo & other Syrian cities. They called us "agents of US imperialism"

So what. Tatchell doesn't represent any body apart from Tatchell.


I still haven't seen any evidence to suggest STW are pro Russian, quite the opposite.


Don't forget we were happy to bomb Syria.

Thanks for the separate conversation, I took a look at what the left and right are saying, and some of the (probable) conspiracy theorists. Nothing makes this right, even if there is an ounce of justification.


Someone put it to me, what if you got a Marxist anti-American government in Mexico, who started posturing and siding with the 'wrong' countries. How long would it take for the US to step in. It didn't take the West long to step into Kuwait, and then subsequently invade a sovereign state with a dictator that the West had propped up (Iraq). Of course they had oil, rather than the largest nuclear arsenal in the world.


Anyway some thoughts rather than gospel.

A look at STW's website this morning and it has 4 'leading articles', 2 of which are pointing the finger at NATO being the cause for the war in Ukraine.


Just as important and telling is what someone doesn't say as well as what they say.


And that was Tatchell's point, STW are quick to denounce/blame the West/NATO but say very little or nothing when it comes to Russia, preferring instead to chime out hackneyed excuses about it being NATO's fault/Western imperialism etc...

"A look at STW's website this morning and it has 4 'leading articles', 2 of which are pointing the finger at NATO being the cause for the war in Ukraine."


Again so what?


That doesn't mean STW is pro Putin or pro Russia, just against all war's in what ever country and for what ever reason.

News cycle obviously being dominated by Queen/King events, but what's going on in Ukraine in recent days is incredible, Ukraine taking back control of territory from the Russkis at an unprecedented rate. This video is already out of date...

 

Absolutely

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
