No Official State Funeral for President Gorbachev - Putin's Russia

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports " Vladimir Putin will not attend Mikhail Gorbachev's funeral due to 'work schedule', Kremlin says....Mr Gorbachev was a strong critic of the Russian president and said corruption had reached "colossal proportions" under his leadership.  "

Lets Get Real:

The funeral will not be a STATE FUNERAL as noted in the article, but there will be aspects such as a honour guard, the fact that Putin went to see Gorbachev in his open casket but will not attend the funeral is very odd, it just might be a Russian thing.  There was no love lost between Putin and Gorbachev, Putin has reversed the Gorbachev agenda when it comes to Russian democracy, reform and freedom.  If you call the War in the Ukraine a WAR you get thrown in to prison.  The Free press has been shutdown, the Western Nations are backing the Ukraine, while Russia has the backing of China and Iran. In other words the other rogue nations.  The Russians action in the Ukraine has shown that the Russian Soldier is a WAR CRIMINAL, and that the Russian leadership are following in the footsteps of Stalin. Hostility to the West and repression at home.  Putin has ruined the Gorbachev legacy.  As Putin is not going to the funeral, it means that the Western Leaders do not have to go, they are banned anyway.  One does wonder, what Reagan, Thatcher will be saying to Gorbachev on his arrival up stairs. 

IAEA arrive at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.26pm post the following, " Inspectors arrive at nuclear power plant.....The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have arrived at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine, the Reuters news agency reports.  "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see if the IAEA mission to the nuclear plants goes off without any trouble, one expects the Russians will try to to a FALSE FLAG operation, bomb the plant and to try and blame the KYIV Government.  The Russians have shown that they are WAR CRIMINIALS and do not follow the rules of WAR, their actions have shown that there is no military order in the Russian Army and that President does not care about the costs of war.  It will be the job of the IAEA to make sure the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant is in working order and the Ukraine Staff are not being threatened by Russian Forces who control the plant.  This will be a developing story through the day.
