Reform 'Contract' (Manifesto)

[blup]

Farage seems to be playing the semantic game.

There is a big difference between provoking somebody and doing something benign, which that same somebody can then twist into an excuse to do what they wanted to do all along.

When he blames the west but says its pootins fault for invading, he means its the wests fault.

Yes, it's a odd definition of provocation if a successful and prosperous country is thereby provoking its backward neighbour.
Countries joined the EU for prosperity and joined NATO because they quite reasonably saw Russia as a threat.
Lots of countries had empires and colonies in the past, and Russia has been attacked in the past (so have plenty of other countries). But that's history, Russia is in no danger from the west, but wants to colonise others.

Nigel Farage is the UK version of Alex Navalny.
A dissident who speaks truth to power.

Fook off!

Truth my arse. To power, my arse.

It's hilarious watching Forrige horn smokers, contort themselves in an effort to justify his throw-away populist bullshít.

Catch me up... How many countries has NATO invaded since its formation?

Bosnia, Serbia, Afghanistan. Which is nothing compared to Post USSR Russia, but non-zero.

Wasn't NATO formed to defend Europe from a threat that no longer exists.
When the old Soviet Union disbanded and the Russians withdrew behind their own borders, why didn't NATO disband also.

Because it forsaw the threat.

Because the threat certainly hadn't gone as demonstrated by what soon happened, and they weren't stupid enough to think it ever had?

Looks like he a bit off a bit more than he could chew, the Borris and the DM finally realising he is not their, or the country's friend. I would rather labor get 100 fewer seats than predicted if it it means far rages lot get no mp's.

Yugoslavia.

Yugoslavia.

Not Russia then.

Do you think it's likely to invade Russia unless pootin does something stupid

Russia's biggest enemy is its own paranoia, which Pootin has ruthlessly exploited for his own ends.

Yugoslavia.

Any UN resolutions supporting that? Did the UN support Russia over Ukraine?

 

[fillyboy]

Any UN resolutions supporting that?

No, the campaign was launched without UN approval, which they wouldn't have got because Russia and China would have vetoed it.
