That does not make me a war monger, not that anyone accused me as such, but only because it is information which GR does spend time to find and post here. Whether anyone agrees or disagrees with the contents of his postings is up to the individual to make a comment or not if they so wish to, but should not dismiss them outright in a distrusted and monotonous way continually which what Milti does. As my old girlfriend use to say, “if you can’t say anything nice, best not to say anything at all”.
I know life is not that simple, but being antagonistic day after day against GR’s postings on Ukraine is not very helpful either by my friend Milti or anyone else, as it becomes a vicious circle of insults which is totally unnecessary and totally unacceptable. We live in a free country(s) and no one is forced to read anything anyone posts or even agree with them, but please allow others to read them and make up their own minds without constant accusative and disruptive comments on what is posted. This does not mean one cannot make comments of disagreements on each of the items posted by anyone. Just not a blanket dismissal of all the posts, especially on Ukraine. This only indicates that the posts were never read at all before being dismissed as utter rubbish. That is not fair on the poster.
FWIW. I'd also like to see an end to the spat. Whatever views people have it's surely at the least gotten monotonously boring. Although, Milti has it seems dropped the relentless Paedo theme. A start?
Good for you, reading all of GR's stuff. Which doesn't surprise me. Although, given his prolific output you must have a lot of time on your hands.
I tend to pick out ones which look interesting. I don't think it's contentious to say though that every link puts Russia's activities in a positive light. There's never a hint of bad news or - Heaven forbid - criticism of them. I can't recall reading one with even a whiff of objectivity about it. They tend to call such propaganda. Not only that but if you take the trouble to research at least some of his main sources you'll find they tend to be a bit dubious. Yet, it seems with a sweep of GR's hand the entirety of the vast spread of western sources are all "criminal" and to be discarded. Taken over by "them". Even when it comes to a fairly light hearted bit on how Mosc-Donalds is running short of chips. All his stuff is unremittingly of a bias confirmation nature.
I've been intrigued at how somebody with your intellect can read some of the nutcase stuff GR's churned out but not make any comment. Does silence infer agreement? I wouldn't think so.
