    Marina Ovsyannikova

    Brave lady. To make such a public protest and also to talk about the repression of news and propaganda by the Kremlin is something she knew could cost her dearly. Apparently her dad is Russian and her mum is Ukrainian. Is the tide in Russia turning further against Putin? Can only hope so.

    Brave indeed as they will now lock her up for 15 years!

    Lovely to see the squatters in that Oligarch’s London mansion and then the Oligarch slated our justice system to be appalling. Quite simple - f uck off home!

    The report that Russia approached China has been called misinformation.
    I think not.
    The journalist who broke the story was from the FT.
    He did what many journalists don't do anymore...he dug into a story.
    The story also shows how quickly the Russian military inventory has declined in just under three weeks.

    At the moment Putin is beginning to look like he may end up in the same circumstances that Sadaam Hussein ended up in.
    A real prospect......🤔

    China is fully behind Putin ( Two faced )
    They signed an agreement before the the recent Olympics which basically translated to Having mutual support for each other, in fact I think the term was no limit
    WW3 is on the cards but it looks like it will be an economic war rather than a military one. Lest hope so.
    India will become go between for back door trade.
    Countries worldwide may soon have to pick a side

    Personally it’s about time China was stopped shipping cheap crap goods to us. I’d rather pay twice the price than buy twice

    Well if you think the USA is a dying power....then this conflict has shown just how far Russia has fallen in the last twenty years.....
    China may very well have signed an agreement with Russia but they should know having watched this thing unfold that they may have picked a loser going forward..

    But I agree....time to place your bets now in the world as it is not just Brexit that was divisive...not just Trump that was divisive... not just the pandemic that was divisive...but now this one conflict is proving a big decision time for many countries......

    An interesting little observation about that protest......if you look at it again....you will notice something strange....the poster she is displaying is hidden behind the newsreader...at first.
    She then moves to her left so the poster can be seen....and the camera actually pans to it's right so the message can be seen clearly.....
    Nice work cameraman........hope they are safe......

    Dubag yes you are correct in how the cameramen assisted to some degree. I guess the kremlin would have also noticed.
    Hope it inspires more from others.
    These are truly very brave people and I admire them.
