So when Corbyn said this he was crucified as a Russian sympathiser by the same people cheering on Farage.
Fuck off, Nigel. All the way off, you absolute gobshite.
Russian stooge in pro-Russian stance, more news at 8
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Independent country refusing to do as its neighbour demands,
So we can look forward to bending the knee to France **IF** he gets any power?
This Russian Stoodge has just outed himself. People who are fiercely patriotic, have been conned by this Grifter for long enough.
Nothing new here. He’s friends with Trump and he’s Putin’s lapdog.
No doubt the usual same accounts will be flooding this with “what’s wrong with that” comments in a minute.
We all know who farage is. I hope this election we can finally purge him, corbyn and Galloway. Send the ultimate message to putin that things are different now
He is paid to say so
A decent person would refuse billions to utter such heinous shit about an attempted genocide
Farage is a conman who has bounced into the election at the last minute to try to avoid scrutiny and just have a load of populist takes on complex topics. Hopefully one side effect of the long long campaign and off Farage being so high in the polls is more people will take more time to unpick the threads of what is behind his facade, just like his Putism here.
I’m convinced he’s on Russia’s payroll, afterall Brexit was in Putin’s interest.
We are basically engaged in a proxy war with russia. Therefore we are effectively at war with russia . This means farage is a traitor. A flight snivelling cowardly traitor . Someone get this little bitch a white feather
From the article: “Farage has long been accused by the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties of being an apologist for the Russian president.”
Given Frottage’s track record, I’d say he may be a bit more than a mere “apologist”.
Yes, I wonder why eastern European nations would be so keen to enter into the EU/NATO, afterall, Russia has always acted in such a kind and caring way towards its neighbours.
Can’t believe people fall for this fuckers grifting. He absolutely fits the descriptor of threat to national security.
All this years and Farage is still on Putin’s lap like a dog
Farage and Corbyn singing from the same hymn sheet. I do believe this is horseshoe theory in action
Surprised he managed to say that with putins cock in his mouth.
MOSCOW, February 9 2022. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Wednesday said Russia doesn’t plan to invade Ukraine and blamed the US for “aggressive plans.”
The hype around Russia’s hypothetical invasion of Ukraine is similar to what was happening in the US media in the early 2000s, before the US and its allies started the military operation in Iraq, she said. Then, lots of reports were stoking tensions, including on television, the diplomat said.
“That looks very much like this false narrative regarding Ukraine now and some ‘aggressive plans,’” she said. “We don’t have these aggressive plans, but I have a feeling that the US has.”
“We learn from US newspapers that we will attack Ukraine,” Zakharova said. “That’s even as we believe we and that country are a people that has a common history.”
She said it was “absurd” to say Russia nurtured any aggressive plans about Ukraine.
18th February 2022 Putin said: “These military exercises, drills, are purely defensive and are not a threat to any other country.
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine
It’s as if he’s become so utterly convinced that there’s a conspiracy to silence what ‘the people’ are actually thinking, that he genuinely believes that saying the exact opposite of whatever’s mainstream will get him votes.
He said he admires how Putin came to power. I bet he does. He appointed himself President of Russia just how Farage appointed himself leader of Reform.
This man is a danger to democracy.
He’s using the Trump playbook, pulling the same xenophobic strings and watching the voters dance
He’s not even hiding being a Russian plant anymore.
Fuck off Nige, that cheque from Vladimir might not clear after the last round of Sanctions anyway……….
He’s an enemy to the UK. And people have been eating up his propaganda for years. Utter cunt.
Oh shit we might win enough votes that i might have to do something….
Right guys we got to torp this boat so i can get back to American for the trump shit show
Unfortunately he is going to be slightly relevant until the next election. The Conservatives have really messed up to have so many leaning towards Reform. If he’s on the floor at PMQs every Wednesday, it will be an absolute disaster.
Russia has been trying to commit genocide against Ukrainians for more than a hundred years. It was not provoked by anything other than Ukrainians existing and maintaining their own culture as an independent state. Thinking the invasion was in any way justified is an abhorrent stance to take.
If he thinks it’s okay for a state to invade their neighbour and ethnically cleanse the population after years of occupying their territory and denying the existence of their language, I hope he never again dares to complain about people throwing milkshakes at him because he provoked it by being a racist piece of shite.
More like Putin thought he’s not gonna live forever so he might as well get his imperialism on. He probably also thought the West wouldn’t be as supportive of Ukraine due to them being one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
That’s Farage finished then. I thought he was trying to be the new leader of the Conservative Party. MI5 and military will make sure he gets nowhere near power after these comments.
Said it before. I’ll say it again. This man does not get elected.
Indefensible really, hopefully this is in the news for a few days
I assume the cunts and idiots that support Farage won’t care that he’s yet again proven himself to be the worst.
Nobody tell me a vote for them is for the lulz or bants. You know exactly what you’re voting for now.
I’m so torn, the vote split and mathematics of so many Tory seats being lost will be great, but at the same time the spiritual populist successor to the BNP/2010s UKIP getting ~15% or more will be actually depressing. This is literally the UKs branch of the alt-right.
Reform sure are having a day huh? This is about the 4th headline I’ve counted that someone’s said something stupid in. The sad bit is this is all stuff their voter base agrees with, or at least can excuse.
Ah, the Corbyn tactics, let’s see how this plays out for him.
This kind of stuff is his Achilles heel when it comes to wooing conservatives. There’s no way they’ll respond to internet nonsense like this.
I’m sure the Tories will be posting a photo on twitter implying Farage suits Russia, like they did with Starmer. It’s not like they’re shit scared of calling him out and upsetting his voter base /s
Never let the public forget or be misled into thinking Farage is anything other than a quisling. Brexit has only ever been a net positive for Russia and he is their instrument.
Farage once again showing his admiration for dictators.
Is there not a racist or fascist that Nigel fartarse doesn’t like. He hasn’t said how much he likes pol pot yet.
I can’t believe it the guy who’s made frequent trips to Russia, led a campaign that was heavily backed by Russian disinformation efforts and had multiple meetings with Russian ambassadors is saying that Russia isn’t to blame for invading Ukraine.
For those who might not know who is to blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or take Farage’s words as fact, here’s why he’s spouting nothing but Russian propaganda:
• Putin rues the loss of the Soviet Union. More than that, his dream has been to restore Russian imperial greatness and rebuild the Russian Empire. That means Ukraine must be conquered and absorbed into Russia.
• Putin doesn’t believe Ukraine is a nation. He doesn’t believe in the Ukrainian identity. Ukraine to him is a territorial extension of Russia and should not have statehood.
• Putin subscribes to various ethno-nationalist ideological beliefs, chief among them Eurasianism and “Russian World” whereby Russia is a cradle of civilisation that straddles Europe and Asia and therefore is destined to rule the landmass. In fact Eurasianism became officially policy under Putin in 2023.
• Putin doesn’t care about NATO expansion, it’s a handy line to bring out to justify his imperial ambition. If he does care about NATO expansionism, then his disastrous war in Ukraine backfired spectacularly seeing as it resulted in another border state joining the alliance (Finland) and the otherwise thought implausible induction of Sweden. The Baltics amongst others joined NATO in 2004, so NATO has been on Russian borders for 20 years: why take 18 years to react?
There are several other reasons why Farage’s claims are ridiculous, but what else do you expect from a former Russia Today contributor?
I dont care what anyone says, what happened has happened. The hurt is there. The only way we finish this is by marching to Moscow.
Putin’s puppet Farage the disruptor. He’s hiding in plain sight ! Why do the bbc insist on giving him so much air time
Nigel has been on Russia Today over 17 times. Here’s what Putin said about the channel. In 2013, “The channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government’s official position on the events in our country and in the rest of the world one way or another.”
Not ever been a believe of give a man enough rope and he will hang himself, but dear god this was a car crash.
Robinson wearing the black hood though.
Farage carrying on in the Mosleyist tradition that so becomes him.
I don’t see what’s so controversial about this.
You can point out that the allies’ harsh measures provoked Germany into a second world war without being a Nazi supporter.
This is no different.
The man who screamed about sovereignty doesn’t like when sovereign nations make decisions about their own state.
Fucking hack.
Exactly what Russia would say, fuck them. Hope they get destroyed in the election. Slava Ukraine
