Liz Truss: “Ofcom is looking into RT”
The UK’s foreign secretary Liz Truss has invited Ofcom to look into RT’s content over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an issue the watchdog views as a “priority”.

Pull the other one.
Putin is a genius, he has handled the west like putty. You don’t have to like someone to hail them a genius. No doubt in my mind that Putin’s absolutely ecstatic Trump is no longer President of the United States and someone so weak and pathetic as Biden is. Russia’s annexing of Ukraine is now inevitable, under Biden.
Meanwhile, China’s gleefully eyeing up Taiwan in the distance. But as usual Trump derangement syndrome strikes again

What do you think the West should have done differently here?
I don't think Putin cares who is President because the options remain the same whoever it's in charge. What would he have done differently? Putin didn't care about the West's response when he used a chemical weapon in England either. The arming of the rebels in Donetsk has been happening for years as well.

I don't think honestly we know what Putin would or wouldn't have done under Trump. It's speculation.
But how is linking to a report on what Trump has said on record stirring up division & bullshit?

Laughable.
Putin would not have done it, under Trump. Putin knew Donald had a redline, he saw that when Syria gassed its own people, including children. Trump ordered a military strike against Syria, albeit, a brief one, despite Russia being its staunch ally.
As for linking to the report, that’s all Mr K does, pitting one side against the other, by yet again, being incapable of letting go of something. He’s foolishly trying to brush Trump as the baddy here again, because he simply says what is bloody obvious. Putin’s a genius, but the caveat is that one does not need to be liked to be refer to someone as such or like what that person is doing.

They should have offered peacekeeping troops (etc) to be posted to Ukraine. That would have called Putin's bluff - who has no intention of being vaporised.

Isn't that what Russia has done . . moved 'peacekeeping' forces into areas of unrest and instability?
