I have been sickened to the back teeth recently by the hypocritical ‘Russo phobic’ preposterous nonsense from the Tory Coalition, who it is clear to see is constantly having its chain yanked by NATO, the world predator organisation led by the US.

The latest jingoistic nonsense to grace the lips of defence secretary Michael Fallon, who gained notoriety for flogging off the Royal Mail for a song last year, is that Russia’s President Putin has ambitions to destabilise the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia and to ultimately bring these countries back in to a Soviet Style bloc.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black as anyone with the slightest modicum of common sense will not believe such drivel, as they have surely witnessed the US, NATO led aggression by moving into Europe almost up to Russia’s borders in an attempt to foment trouble. The NATO lies that were fed to Russia regarding its promise not to step one inch in to the ex-Soviet countries is blatantly obvious, as are the regime changes in Iraq, Libya, and the destabilisation of the Middle East as a whole.

President Putin was so very correct when he said recently that after the disillusionment of the Soviet Union, the US conspired to try and make ex-communist countries choose between Russian and Western influence. This was the root cause of the February troubles in Ukraine’s capital Kiev last February, which was instigated and aided and abetted by the US. This has now led to the death of thousands of people in Eastern Ukraine, and so the question needs to be asked as to who the real aggressors are.
