    I looked over his X profile.

    It’s not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It’s a war between NATO and Russia, with Ukraine being used as a pawn, and Ukrainians paying the price of NATO expansion and antagonism.

    Explosive.

    Russia is now demanding that Europe pay for gas in rubles.

    Europe gets 40% of its gas from Russia. That’s 200-800 million euros per day.

    Putin is basically saying: you want to play sanctions? Either pay up in rubles or freeze.

    Yeah, can’t imagine why the UK government would want to detain and ask him some questions right now at this one particular moment in time; not like something has happened recently that woke them up to the real world urgency of allowing Russia to put dangerous toxic bullshit into their social media landscape that might have made them want to take any actions about it.

      So if they arrested him under “terrorism” act it is okay because he talk about Russia - Ukraine issue?

      That’s like the opposite of everything democracy and freedom of speech stand for.

      Innocent until proven guilty, and freedom of speech, and freedom for journalist and reporting is no longer relative.
