If you're a Brit, and if you believe that the USA doesn't impact your life, you've been very sheltered.
Tried to actually find something credible about it, and all I got were Russian affiliated sites lol.
You obviously don't know the meaning of it then.
Asking to find him 11000 votes and telling them to just say they recounted after the result is finalised is exactly that.
And to confirm it he sent a mob to fight like hell for him, you think he wasn't trying a Coup d'etat?
You're also a British person and you're trying very hard to defend him, I think you are protesting his innocence for a reason, A trump fan no doubt.
But even a blind man can see he tried very hard to overthrow the Government.
But this isn't a Trump thread so we will leave it at that, if you want to argue how great the man is open a new thread.
Well the story didn't come from the Russian media, it came from Hersh. But yeah, I don't believe it.

If Ukraine had retained some of the nuclear weapons left behind after the fall of the USSR and had been able to service enough of them and mount them on short/medium-range missiles to make them a functional deterrent then the Russians are unlikely to have invaded in the first place. Even if the Ukrainians had fired off a tactical nuclear weapon to halt a large conventional Russian armoured force (for example) from advancing into their country that would only attract a like-for-like response from the Russians. What would be the point of Russia firing off strategic nuclear weapons at NATO countries when NATO are not even a party to their conflict with Ukraine? Ukraine is not and was not in NATO, it was a non-aligned nation, so a nuclear exchange between Ukraine and Russia could not start World War 3 unless NATO decided to issue an ultimatum to Russia or Russia did likewise to NATO.
Furthermore, the Ukrainians surrendered long-range bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons and medium-range missile systems (Scuds) to the Russians before the 2014 invasion and were encouraged to do so by the current POTUS! The yanks really shot Ukraine in the foot there. Those systems could have deterred Putin from invading them.
What's wrong with being pro-vaccination? 10s of thousands of people have died in the UK from Covid who could have been saved by the vaccines and 100s of thousands more have permanent disabilities due to it.
The Russian government use the threat of nuclear war all the time to try to get their own way. Don't fall for Putin's propaganda and BS tough-guy image. He is an idiot.
More information on the near incident with a British surveillance plane: the Russian fighter pilot mistakingly thought he was told to take down the British plane, so he locked on and fired his air to air missile. The missile failed to work correctly and flew past the British plane
Just another sorry state of affairs for the russian airforce. Pilots so inexperienced they think a command to follow the British aircraft means shoot it down and then when the Russians attack their missiles fail

I would imagine Rivet Joint aircraft have some quite advanced electronic countermeasures that we probably don’t want to advertise, so easier to just say the missile malfunctioned.
What a complete moron. Seems like a good platform to socially engineer people for leaks.

I checked Oryx yesterday on equipment loses for both sides for the first time in a quite a while. I didn't realise just how much western gear has been lost over the 8 months, especially the US supplied M777's towed artillery guns and the Polish Kharb have been hit hard, a bit of an eye opener to the realities of modern war. It also shows just how close to the front lines those artillery systems get.
Probably explains in part why Ukraine hasn't been able to follow up on it's successful counter offensives from last year. Saying that there's not one documented lose of a HIMARS or M270 yet.
Russia is still the the most generous provider to Ukraine for military equipment. Over a 1000 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles has been handed over the UAF so far along with an eclectic mix of other useful weapons

There have been many videos of strikes on M777s by lancet loitering drones, sadly they seem to be an effective weapon the Russians have.I checked Oryx yesterday on equipment loses for both sides for the first time in a quite a while.

More on the US leakers has been revealed
"In a video seen by The Post, the man who the member said is OG [the leaker] stands at a shooting range, wearing safety glasses and ear coverings and holding a large rifle. He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target.”
The man who stole and leaked hundreds of classified U.S. documents to impress his teenaged gamer buddies is a Jew-hating racist with a conspiracist view of government (probably a Trump voter as well). And the Pentagon gave him clearance.

The Pentagon has a serious problem. There seem to be no shortage of such people in their ranks. When you have people getting to the rank of 3 star general like Michael Flynn who believe all manner of crazy **** you know you are in serious trouble. You have to imagine its rife with such people.
