BBC are more consistent

Being consistent isn’t always a positive trait. I’m consistently late for shit.

I saw a lecture some time ago by an ex head of MI6. Forget his name. He said we must not run away with the idea that Ukraine can sweep the Russians out of Crimea. Russia is building and training a force to stop that happening and we won’t know exactly its size and capabilities until it is mobilised. Just a word of caution: there is still a long way to go.

Id guess the main issues would be, if Russia did leave Crimea and Donbas's ( and Ukraine in general ) main issues will be partisan warfare, there will be a ton of people left behind to cause havok.

same issue the Russians would have had if they had actually succeeded in taking Ukraine in the 1st place.

A different take is that they are reporting based on what Ukraine say they can when they can. Ukraine has already had to boot out reporters from CNN/Sky for reporting things too early and endangering troops.

BBC has toed the line based on what Ukraine has asked for.

The Russians have moved some sort of "radiation and Chemical defence units" to Crimea,along with equipment.


Slava Ukraini.

I wasn’t slagging the BBC off, just questioning using the word consistently as a positive behaviour. I’ve previously been supportive of the BBC’s reporting. Hard talk has recently done a decent interview with Vladimir Kara-Murza’s wife - she made some fair observations about Russian society as a whole.

Bloody French

Just noise. Now if they pull their fucking fingers out and deliver another £3b of military kit now that would be a result!
