I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes.
We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?
For all the reply guys saying "But Alex, we are not at war with Russia":
July 2025 UK Strategic Defence Review (SDR) calls Russia an ‘immediate and pressing threat’ to British national security.
Our media should not be platforming our enemy.
Russian media constantly claims they are at war with NATO.
Agree that Russia is a hostile state and the media shouldn't be platforming it, but to claim that we're "at war" seems escalatory.
Since Litvenenko (spelling) and possibly before that.
No need to just lap up what the US led empire tells you to without exercising some critical thinking though.
And they are all - always - guys.
The problem is we have risen to that threat too late. Meanwhile Russia has poisoned people in our country, and severed us from the European Union.
ok...but they are also one side of a negotiation to bring this war to an end. Sometimes maybe it's important to hear the enemies point of view.
Yes exactly - there's more here...
‘Russia is at war with us’, one of the authors of Sir Keir Starmer’s flagship strategic defence review has warned
We are absolutely at war with Russia, just not as we understand it from past experience.
