@metal-brain saidYou know the very word ‘truth’ is aspirational you halfwit but yeah broadly speaking when it comes to things like history and international affairs they certainly have a long earned reputation for accuracy, that’s why so many people tune into the BBCs world service rather than rumble and zerohedge you freaking dummy.
@Suzianne
So you admit they don't always tell the truth.
We all know that the Ukrainian counter offensive is behind schedule due to the fortifications ( mostly land mines ) that the Russians put in place.
But think about that, the mighty Muscovite imperial army is hiding behind fortifications because little Ukraine is coming for them.
@Metal-Brain
Sure, we believe an avowed commie to put out the truth about Ukraine, like you said Ukraine used to be part of Russia therefore they are just getting back Russian territory, totally ignoring the fact that many countries have invaded Ukraine in the past centuries so by that standard, ALL those countries should be able to claim Ukraine as there own territory.
Which is utter BULLSHYTE since it was hundreds of years ago Russia invaded Ukraine back then and claimed it in war.
Such invasions don't live that long and like every other country invading Ukraine, they ALL lost out in time.
So it is just a sick Putin JOKE it used to be Russia.
He even went so far as to put up a very old map of the area around Ukraine saying there was no Ukraine but it was NAMED right there on the map he used to support his barbaric claim to Ukraine. He apparently has some trouble reading maps BESIDES being an absolute BARBARIAN. He was old KGB officer and OBVIOUSLY has designs to rebuild the Soviet era empire and not doing so well at that either.
AND BTW, Russian economy is TANKING, and GDP is now less than GERMANY
which is not a great place to try to rebuilt a wet dream empire.
@sonhouse
The Philippines was a USA colony that Japan took from the USA. The USA just had to get it back, right?

Your hero Biden said there will be a settlement. Are you going to call him a traitor like you did Kissinger?
@metal-brain saidThe BBC is not state controlled, you crusty little T-shirt, you.
@kevcvs57
Your BBC is state controlled media. State controlled propaganda.

@metal-brain saidNo you and rumble are lying again, the BBC is constantly at odds with what the government wants it to say and not say, and is constantly harangued and threatened by the state.

Twitter is now the propaganda machine of a right wing MAGA billionaire
@shavixmir
Depends how you define state controlled.
Elon Musk claims it is.
The BBC is mostly funded by an annual television licence fee. Who imposed that fee on the British people?

@metal-brain saidSo? The people pay the BBC, and the BBC is seperate from government.

And there's always friction between the BBC and current governments. That's part of the fun.
@shavixmir
"And there's always friction between the BBC and current governments"
Governments? I thought it was just one.
What kind of friction? Don't you mean acting?
If it is really independent why are people taxed with a fee? Even PBS here in the states is funded voluntarily.
Government imposed the tax, so the BBC is government funded. It is not public funded if they have no choice because the UK government forced it on them.
@metal-brain saidWell, the BBC has existed for a long time through many governments. That’s what I meant.

However, Britain has more than one government.
@metal-brain saidNo they are not government funded they are funded by the people who pay a fee, if people want to watch their stuff online like Sky / Netflix / Amazon Prime and other streaming sites they do not have to pay the fee

@metal-brain saidA propagandist talking about propaganda.
@kevcvs57
Government imposed that fee. Here in the states PBS takes donations by choice.
BBC is just a propaganda network.
Good one.
@Metal-Brain
THAT is your answer to my post? Why don't you delve into the actual post rather than doing your usual, WHATABOUTHIMISMS and distraction from that which you wish to avoid actually confronting.
You think the GDP of Russia is far greater than Germany?
Tell me your NEXT lie.
