TOPIC:

Certainly wouldn't be believing everything one sees on old you tube neither. A lot of false articles on that too! The hamburger store closing across the country did raise eyebrows at the time, although now is irrelevant. Just means a local burger store can open, use the same building and people stay employed. And promotional type videos don't exactly reflect reality.
Having said that, i realise our news services are not the best in australia and could be vastly improved upon.

The video of the restaurant wasn't a former McDonald's store it was a brand new restaurant in the style of a McDonald's which is the chain that's taken the place of the former McDonald's restaurants. And the video was made by a pommy expat not a promo video. I think some of you have been brainwashed.

Iran , Putin, North Korea and the CCP - don't fed BS or do propaganda everything they say just like Trump is 100% Koosher.

Well, well, well, what a surprise! Putin has won the Russian election according to the news.

His name was the only one on the ballot paper

As if they are going to change leaders while they are under constant threat from the west. It's simple, withdraw NATO borders and include Russia in NATO. Then and only then can peaceful dialogue begin to take place. America doesn't want that and that's the problem.

DD what you have to realise is that Russia will never join NATO as it would lose it's independence and NATO would never give Russia a Veto vote as thats somthing that would be non negotiable for PUTIN who fears any loss of power and privilege.

Putin wanted to be a part of NATO. I remember seeing Putin speak in front of leaders from all over the world and was calling for peace and wanted to join NATO. The camera panned to John Cain who had a smirk on his face. They got Russia right where they want them, seen as a threat to the West so the US can justify selling weapons.

What happened to Putins much vaunted Moscow security machine and incredible intelligence service?

Turned out to be crap.

Took an hour for anyone to get to the shooting as well.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if he organised it all himself.

US intelligence had been warning Russia for a month about a likely attack at a concert and they said it was all propaganda designed to instill fear into Muscovites. Well this is embarrassing for Putin and his commie elites. This attack poo poos the idea that terrorists only hate the west.
