No NATO Troops in Ukraine - Putin - Ukraine - Russia War

 BBC News: Reports " Putin rejects Western security in Ukraine, warning troops would be target "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are still being stubborn  that there can be no NATO troops in the Ukraine should there be a ceasefire.  This is time for the US President to be firm with Putin and the Kremlin, they do not have a VETO on what troops the West might send in to the Ukraine, they are the security guarantees that Kyiv will need to agree to a CEASEFIRE or PEACE DEAL with Russia.  Let's get real, Putin will try this again in the future, he cannot be trusted, his word is no good, and Kyiv will never agree to a deal and should not agree to a deal without a NATO 5 clause that would bring the West to the defence of Ukraine.  The UK let down Poland in 1939 and after WW2 finished allowed Stalin to get his murderous hands on Poland and Easter Europe.  NEVER AGAIN! 

More men for the War in the Ukraine - Russia CALL UP - Ukraine - Russia War - Putin Era

BBC News: Reports " Ukraine war: Russia expands pool of men eligible for call-up......Russia is raising the maximum age at which men can be conscripted from 27 to 30, making more of them liable to serve in the armed forces...separate measure last week, the maximum age at which reservists can be called up was raised, meaning some men will now be considered available for military service until they are 55.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin no longer has the Wagner Group to call upon for now, there are reports that the Russians are planning a massive offensive in the North of Ukraine, to counter the Ukraine Offensive in the South East, that has been slower than expected.  Many young men have headed to the Russian border as to avoid the draft, thus you will see young boys of 18 and old duffers in their early 50s fighting for the glory of Putin and nothing else.  The Glory of Russia has long gone, if it was even there.  The alliance between Russia and the West during WW2 was a marriage of convivence, the Russians think they won WW2, that is how deluded they are, the real hero of WW2 was Churchill and the British people, we faced evil alone in 1940 while Stalin has a  non aggression pact with Hitler's Germany.  The West must defeat Putin, a real defeat, the Russian people must be woke from their sleep to resist Putin and his regime. 

A Dirty nuclear bomb and the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports on the allegation by the Russians that Kyiv is about to do a false flag operation by using a dirty nuclear bomb in the Ukraine as to blame the Russians, the article notes the following, " On Sunday the UK, US and French governments issued a joint statement on the Russian government's claims. They rejected what they called "Russia's transparently false allegations" against Kyiv, adding: "The world would see through any attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation. We further reject any pretext for escalation by Russia." 

Lets Get Real:

The Russians could be using the above argument should they decide to use a dirty bomb in the regions they are losing to the Kyiv Forces, they are about to lose Kherson back to Kyiv, they are moving their people out, from their imposed civic structure to military forces.  The Kremlin is fighting this, because Putin has put the nation into partial call up of men to serve, a third time since 1914, 1941, over three hundred thousand men have done a runner over the border, this has lead to Putin imposing martial law on areas under its control, also it has move its nuclear command train to the Ukraine border, thus allowing it to launch a low yield nuclear bomb.  This they would blame on the Kyiv Forces and make the area a no go area for years, like Chernobyl.  The Kremlin thinks that POTUS is weak and that the UK has a very new PM, thus strike when the time is right.  Thus do not be shocked if a nuke is used in the Ukraine or over the Black Sea, were a recent Russian plane released a missile close to UK Military Planes, that could have been a TEST by the Russian to Western reaction. 

Another Nuclear THREAT from Russia - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.02pm post the following, " 

Former Russian PM believes Putin's speech included veiled nuclear threat..

Mikhail Kasyanov....Speaking to Sky News, he pointed out that Mr Putin promised to defend the annexed territories as new sovereign territories of Russia "by all means" necessary.   "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are sabre rattling again, this has to STOP, the best way to is to say that should Putin use a tactical nuclear weapon on the Ukraine then NATO and the EU will accept Ukraine as member on the hour that the bomb goes off. Putin is mad bully, talking to bullies gives them more power, they have to be countered, even at the threat of WAR.  One hopes that the Biden Oval has made it clear, that should Russia use a tactical nuclear weapon then ALL BETS ARE OFF, the West will react with the placing of NATO troops in to the Ukraine, and will upgrade the weapons that NATO Countries give to the Ukraine.  Putin thinks the West is WEAK, that it cares more about Trans rights than the people of the Ukraine, this is the time to show him, that he is WRONG.  The Biden Oval can defend trans rights, but also defend the Ukraine, its about rights at the end of the day, and Putin is a modern Hitler, at least Stalin had communism in his mind to justify the mass murder.  Putin needs to be seen to be defeated, or this problem will come again. 

Kherson Update - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.57pm post the following, " 

Russian official in Kherson tells locals 'everything is fine' – but his video shows he's left for five-star hotel in Russia  "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that the Russians officials placed in charge in Kherson do not

 fancy meeting any Ukrainian Troops should they take the Kherson region, Moscow is already playing down the Ukrainian Offensive, but as stated before they would say that.  The Kyiv Government has the Russians on the back foot, if they re - take the Kherson region this would be a major blow to Putin and Moscow.  The people of Russia have to smell the coffee at some point, the Russian people have a rich cultured history and one expects better of intelligent people, they should be out in the streets, opposing the Putin Regime, the Moscow PR has stated that the Kyiv Government is Nazi, well the truth is that PUTIN is using the Hitler plan, Putin is a gangster, he kills when he wants too and does not care about the thousands of Russian soldiers killed.  As Stalin once said, a single death is tragic, after that it becomes numbers.  The Mothers in Russia need to get out in the street, shame the rest of the population, even the Russians Army will not resist hundred of thousands on the street, the Russian people did this is 1917 ad 1991, this is the Russian TIME for FREEDOM, otherwise they will be tarred as being the same as Putin. 

New Iron Curtain between the West and Russia - Russian Foreign Minister - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.43pm post the following, " New ‘iron curtain’ already descending between Russia and the west, says Lavrov....Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said, a new “iron curtain” was descending between Russia and the west, and that Moscow would not trust Washington and Brussels “from now on”.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians from 2008 bought about a new cold war after they invaded Georgia and built on top of that with the 2014 invasion of the Crimea, the Putin Regime invaded a democratic country that was not a threat to them.  The " Evil Empire " of Reagan's time has been replaced by the EVIL REGIME.  The NATO meeting today has made it clear that the good old days of the post cold war 1 is OVER, and Russia is the main THREAT to Europe.  The West, in this case NATO Countries have to make sure that the Kyiv Government is always armed and that it is never forced by Western Countries to do a BAD PEACE DEAL.  As the UK PM stated in the House of Commons, Putin must lose in the Ukraine and be seen to lose.  Churchill fired the opening line of the original COLD War in 1946 and that did not end in till 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall and in 1991 with the fall of the USSR.  One does wonder how the 2nd Cold war will end in a whimper or a major bang, as in World War 3. 

Are Finland and Sweden UNDER THREAT if they JOIN NATO - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.01pm post the following, " Finland to decide whether to apply to Nato ‘within weeks’....Finland will make a decision about whether to apply to join the Nato alliance in the next few weeks, the country’s prime minister, Sanna Marin, said.....On Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warned Finland and Sweden against joining Nato, claiming the alliance’s further expansion would “not bring stability to the European continent”.  "

Lets Get Real:

If Finland and Sweden do join NATO, then the West better get ready for friction on the borders of these States, the Russians see NATO as a THREAT, in fact NATO is a threat to PUTIN, he does not want free, democratic states on his border, it would show to his people what they are losing by having Putin in the Kremlin.  Nato must be ready to have a military presence in these States, and also be ready for Putin to try something on the Easter borders of NATO.   On May 9th Putin celebrates the end of WW2 with the Western Allies written out and a suppose victory in the Ukraine in his Special Military Operation, that is the kind of delusion that happens when Russia had a non aggression pact with Hitler from 1939 and 1941, thus allowing Hitler to invade Poland and for Russia to get half and also the Baltic States.  Putin thinks that Russia won the WW2 on its own, yes he is that bad a historian.  All that bathing in animal blood according to reports as a way to prevent getting COVID - 19 must have gone to his head, because he is not sane at this moment in time, if ever. 

What is the truth about the number of Russian Soldiers killed in the Ukraine ? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Daily Mail: Reports " Russia now claims 1,300 troops have been killed and 3,800 wounded in Ukraine - treble its previous toll but a fraction of the 16,000 Kyiv says it has killed "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes the Russians are not telling the truth about how many of their soldiers they have lost in the Ukraine, this is political and PR mistake, the true number will get out, the body bags being sent home will do that, what ever restrictions Putin puts on people talking, the worst Russian invasion since Afghanistan in 1979 will have people talking, in whispers but it will get out.  The Kremlin on the political front is also doing a MISTAKE, if it was smarter it would tell the Russian people about their loses, the Kremlin could argue that the evil West is supporting the KYIV Government and thus it is important to stand up to the Ukraine and the West, but of course that would take a brain open to the TRUTH, so far Putin has a horrible historian and a bad Hollywood movie critic, if today's rantings are anything to go by.  Putin stated that the Hollywood over looked the role of the red army in World War 2 or the Great Patriotic War it is called in Russia. This is simply not true, Hollywood did many pro Stalin and USSR talkies during the WAR, that is why the Congress went after them in the late 1940s and 50s.  Of course it should be noted that Russia took its time to join the Allies, it took the German invasion of Russia in 1941, and even then Stalin hid under his desk for the week.  Russian intelligence has informed Stalin about the threat of invasion but he did not believe them, he had signed a Nazi - Soviet Non Aggression Pact with Nazi Germany in August 1939. If you sub with the Devil, better have a long spoon, and do not expect sympathy from the West, you are not going to get it from this blogger.   The Russians have a trend of not being a create partner, Lenin signed a peace deal with Germany in 1918 and removed Russia from World War 1.  Thus as stated above the Kremlin needs to tell the truth about the number of deaths in the Ukraine, it will come out anyway and Putin ravings require a mental care, the Russian people need to overthrow the EVIL REGIME of the former EVIL EMPIRE. 

Biden SPEAKS to Western Leaders - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

The White House: Readout of call between POTUS and Western Leaders, the issue was Ukraine, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Mario Draghi of Italy, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom.  The leaders discussed their serious concerns about Russia’s brutal tactics in Ukraine, including its attacks on civilians. They underscored their continued support for Ukraine, including by providing security assistance to the brave Ukrainians who are defending their country from Russian aggression, and humanitarian assistance to the millions of Ukrainians who have fled the violence. The leaders also reviewed recent diplomatic efforts in support of Ukraine’s effort to reach a ceasefire.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above are FINE WORDS, but words at the end of the day, there comes a time when you have to walk the walk, and DO SOMETHING, the KYIV Government has been asking for a NO FLY ZONE since the start of the WAR, it is about time POTUS changed his mind on the subject, people are getting killed every day in the Ukraine and the WEST DOES NOTHING, yes the West is arming the Army of the Ukraine, but sometimes have to take on the role yourself, the Ukraine Army is fighting for the Ukraine and the West, the WEST cannot avoid a conflict with Putin, the same as the West faced in 1939.  Sometimes in life or a history of a State, events just happen, and you have to deal with the consequences, the US needs a new FDR if Biden wont play that role, and the UK needs a Churchill, in fact the entire world needs a CHURCHILL, that is the only way to stop the Russians.   That sentiment,  Sir Winston would have understood. 

East Ukraine Men in the separatist Areas forced to fight for Russia - Russia - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 8.43pm post, " The Kyiv Independent reported today that Russia is illegally forcing untrained men living in the Russian-controlled Donbas region to fight and putting them on the frontlines.  "

Lets Get Real:

As previous post, the above is also out of Stalin's playbook, forcing men to fight and shooting them if they run away, how debased and morally corrupt in the modern Russian Army, as we have seen it is very inept and is only winning CITIES like Mariupol because it has a bigger force and is willing to destroy cities to save them.   The Russian State is economically and morally bankrupt, the Putin Regime will do whatever it takes to WIN, use new weapons, also the threat of using chemical and biological weapons, one doubts that Putin is MAD enough to go nuclear, that would lead to WW3.  The Ukraine represents the old Czechoslovakia of 1938/39, sacrificed by the West to prevent a WAR that is coming. It seems history is never learned, humans make the same mistake over and over again. 

The FATE of the poor people of Mariupol - Russia - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.06pm post the following, " The mayor of Mariupol says several thousand residents from the besieged city have been sent to Russia....In a message on Telegram, Vadym Boychenko, said that some were redirected to remote cities in Russia, while the fate of others remained unknown.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is out of Stalin's playbook, God knows were the people have been sent and if they can ever come back, the poor Mariupol has been bombed, 90% destroyed, the Russian even bombed a maternity hospital and claimed that Ukraine forces were there, NOT TRUE, as footage showed after the bombing.  The Russians are NOW fighting street to street, that is not helping in the rescue of 1,300 people from a bombed theatre, if any CITY represents the suffering of Ukraine it is Mariupol, the Russians are not showing ANY mercy to fellow Slavs, they are destroying a CITY to save the CITY.  The West must do more, but not enough to start WW3, that is tricky, the suffering of the people gets WORSE, at some point Putin will go to FAR and the West will have to react, dangerous times ahead.

Humanitarian Corridors and Mariupol - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.02pm post the following, " Fresh attempts to evacuate civilians from cities under siege in Ukraine are being complicated by constant Russian shelling, Ukrainian officials say...The situation in Mariupol is particularly desperate after two weeks of bombardment, the UN says, with little access to food, water and power.  "

Lets Get Real:

At what point does the WEST react, does Putin have to use chemical weapons on KYIV or other cities, one can assume the Democratic Leaders during WW1 and WW2 did not want WAR, it was Churchill who called for ACTION on Nazi Germany in 1930s.  In life as in politics, some times thing happen and you have to react, no reaction is a CHOICE, and the fault is CLEAR, Biden is a old SCARED man, who does not want to do anything that causes WW3, no one wants WW3 but it might be to late, it might have started ALL READY,  does Putin look like a monster who will be just happy with the Ukraine, a destroyed Ukraine but part of Russia.  The Democratic Leaders talking to Putin are making a MISTAKE, he thinks things will go back to normal, that the WEST will get tired of sanctions and come back to talk and do trade with Russia, he might be right, he is after all former KGB.  What are the odds that Putin will go after POLAND or the Baltic States next, let's recall the Nazi - Soviet Non aggression PACT of August 1939, in that PACT the Stalin go half of Poland and the Baltic States, and Putin wants to reform a new USSR or Imperial Russia. Putin must be stopped in the Ukraine, we do not have a Churchill in 10 Downing Street, even if Boris Johnson has written a biography of Churchill.  The US and the UK are to afraid, they are not leaders we deserve.

Russian FALSE FLAG Operations - Ukraine Crisis

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.22pm post the following, " Ukraine rejects "fake" Russian claims about border incursion....The Ukraine military has robustly rejected Russian claims of a foiled border raid into Russia as “fake news”. Ukrainian military officials say their forces are not present in Russia’s Rostov region, Reuters reports.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are throwing every false flag idea and the sink in attempt to create the impression that the Russians are justified in invading the Ukraine, someone has to tell Putin, just drop it, its embarrassing, no one believes the Russian LIES, one has to assume that this false PR stunt is being done to impress the Russian viewers, it seems that Putin thinks he need to gin up his approval ratings, and reforming the USSR is his idea of better numbers.  One does have to ask what the Russian people have done to suffer, LENIN, STALIN and now Putin, of course you can argue that the present Russia is suffering for the murder of its anointed Tsar and his family, that the Russian people have not be told the truth about the evil of that period, unlike Germany after the end of WW2 and the fall of Nazi Regime.  They were both evil and killed millions, the USSR a bit more because it lasted longer.   If only we had Reagan in the Oval and Thatcher in 10 Downing Street, things it can be postulated would be so different.

US WARNS Russia about Ukraine ATTACK - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in is 1.37pm post the following, " US warns Russia of 'massive' transatlantic response if it invades Ukraine....should Moscow pursue the path of aggression and further invade Ukraine, it would result in a resolute, massive, and united Transatlantic response." "

Lets Get Real:

Thus it seems the hour is closing in, has Putin made up his mind up to attack the Ukraine, what is he waiting for, for a false flag attack or another incident dreamed up by the FSB, one that no one will believe, is Putin that MAD. A long WAR countered by insurgency supported by the West, Ukraine could be the new Afghanistan for Russia, if the Ukraine people fight, it could be bloody and would make Putin a WAR CRIMINAL, no Western Leaders would meet him, he will be wanted for TRIAL at the Hauge for a invasion of a democratic State.  If Putin does invade it will make Bosnia of the 1990s look like happy hour, and the West was forced to end it the end.  How will Putin hide the Russian deaths, and there will be deaths, there are reports that large pits have been DUG to take the DEAD, he does not want body bags going back to Russia.  How long will the Putin Regime be able to hide the consequences of the War, Putin will be compared to Hitler and Stalin. 

 

UK PM warns Putin of Russia over fear of Ukraine INVASION - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson warns Vladimir Putin of deep concern over Ukraine "

Lets Get Real:

The PRESSURE must be kept on Putin, he has to understand the FACT that the West could topple the Russian economy and his rich friends will not like that, in fact if it goes WRONG, the President Russia could go back to being a taxi driver, it seems from a recent report that Putin in the 1990s had to become a TAXI driver, one would think no customer ever short change Mr KGB.   This is the time for Western bankers to remind their Russian clients that they could be badly effected by harsh sanctions on Russia, and their assets could be FROZEN.   The West has to keep the integrity of the Ukraine and not sell out as in 1938 when it came to the Czechs  and after the end of the Second World War when Stalin gained Eastern Europe under his control.  The MOMENT Russian invades the Ukraine, the Western banking system has to freeze the RUSSIANS out, even need be the sanctions should HURT the Russian people, make them question Putin and his WARS.  Late January will be very interesting!

Putin's Drum BEAT for War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Russia Ukraine: Putin compares Donbas war zone to genocide.."

Lets Get Real:

More FAKE news from President Putin, he is following the Hitler game book with FAKE charges, the next step is invasion.  It seems that Biden's talk with Putin has not put him off if he plans to invade the Easter Ukraine and then the whole of the Ukraine, very Hitler and 1938 with the Czechs.   The Biden Oval should send more military equipment to the Ukraine, enough for them to stall the Russian Army for a while, lets be honest the Ukrainian people cannot win a WAR against Russia, with the best will in the world, what they can do is make Russia and Putin pay a heavy price, a price that he cannot hide, that means Russian body bags and in public.   The Biden Oval should send heavy NATO equipment to the Eastern members of NATO to show that Biden supports them, and he will not sell them out like Chamberlain did to the Czechs in 1938.  What is interesting that Russia placed pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions, one hopes that Biden has not made a secret deal, aka JFK and the selling out of Turkey in 1962 and the Yalta Conference that placed Eastern Europe in the Soviet backyard. This will be an developing story over the Christmas Period. 

Propaganda by the Taliban - On the role of Women - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 3.07pm post,  on the role of women in Taliban controlled Afghanistan, " "[We] are committed to the rights of women under the system of Sharia [Islamic law]," Mujahid says. "

Lets Get Real:

The above is just Taliban propaganda, once the Western press it out of Afghanistan they will return to their old ways, the PR by the Taliban shows they have learned a thing or two about modern PR, it is like when Nazi Germany or the USSR showed the West what some of its naïve apologists wanted to HEAR.  Once the press and the US is out of Afghanistan, women will be barred from work, girls will not get an education, WESTERN influence will be removed, TV's might stay but only showing Taliban propaganda, OTHER Western culture aspects will be destroyed, music, books, film, you could make a bet on it.   The Taliban is giving the naïve TV Western press what they want to hear, its BS.  The 2nd Taliban War starts now, the terrorist groups will be back and they will be planning to attack the West and the US.   

The THREAT of a Nuclear Armed Iran - Biden Era / Middle East

The New York Times: Reports " Biden Promised to Restore the Iran Nuclear Deal. Now It Risks Derailment...Both sides have much to lose if a delicate negotiation over limiting Iran’s activities in return for a lifting of sanctions falls short.  "

Lets Get Real:

One reads this article and one can see why the uber liberal New York Times covered for Stalin in the 1930s.  It is clear that the NYT wants to appease Iran even if events on the ground have changed.  One hopes that the Biden Oval does not think that the NYT speaks for mainstream Americans and the West.  It is clear with the new government/ regime taking over in Iran that they will push for the US to lift sanctions first and make the US promise never to break a future deal.   One hopes this would be a non starter with the Biden Administration and more important on the Hill, one hopes the friends of Israel will place pressure on the Biden Oval to man up over Iran, when it has failed with Afghanistan and Iraq.   One assumes the Tehran Regime reads the Western press and must know that Biden is a empty suit, WEAK as dishwater.    The liberal media will cover for Biden, but the Biden Oval has the charisma of a dodo, so there are limits even for the liberal reporters.  They need people to read them and to click the website.   It might be odd that the security of the West will be in the hands of Israel, as the US as a appeaser President in the Oval, very much like Trump. 

Black Lives Matter vs. History - Race Update 1 - 2020 Election

BBC News: Reports " Trump rejects calls to drop Confederate base names "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has no time for statues to slave owners or to the naming of military bases after confederate Generals ( although General Robert .E. Lee was an outstanding General for the Confederate side, while the North had US Grant, a greater General in the long term ) What this blog does have a problem is trying to remove history, e.g the removal of statues by mobs, in the USSR under Stalin it was the practice to removes the images of those that had fallen foul of Stalin, they airbrushed pictures, wrong then, wrong now with the statues.   The left has to remember that in election terms they could sink the Democrats if they force the Party to the LEFT, the dissolution of Police Forces, the removal of history, could lead to moderate voters to think that the Dems have gone crazy and that Biden is an unfit President.   MOBS come and go, if its raining you do not see them, mob rule has to be countered by the Police, if mobs tear down statues then that mob should be arrested.  The UK and the US are Democracies, you make change through the ballot box otherwise you have mob rule and society falling apart. 

Sir Winston Churchill a HERO for of any AGE - Fact over Fiction

Daily Mail: Reports " the notion, as propagated by John McDonnell, that Churchill willingly sent in the troops to shoot people is just bad history. Churchill was no villain.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is article shows the extreme LEFT WING are re-writing history when it comes to Sir Winston Churchill, the greatest Leader of Great Britain did not cause the death of a miner in 1910, the action was taken by the Police who faced a violent crowd.  The extreme left always wants to smear our great leaders and our Empire, their moral compass has been off since Lenin and Stalin, they covered up for Stalin and only supported the War effort when Adolf Hitler invaded the USSR.   The extreme left or communists have never gotten over the fall of the USSR, an Evil Empire they supported, the left speak and write fiction, Stalin used to remove his former colleagues from pictures when they had been removed from power.  Let's be honest the case of 1910 sounds like there was a need for the RIOT ACT to be read, miners then and in the 1980s seemed to think that they were above the LAW, it took Churchill and Thatcher to remove that fiction.   There should be a states of Churchill and Thatcher in every South Wales town, just to remind them of reality, and to stop living in their fake history.   The disgraceful actions of some South Wales people when Lady Thatcher died showed that the ending of the Mines in the South Wales was the best thing that happened for the UK, at the end of the day, they were just workers who worked underground, after they bought down PM Heath in 1974 they had to be removed, they were a threat to DEMOCRACY.
