      That’s a bit fucking rich from a country that carved up Poland with Nazi Germany

      That’s a mighty fine attempt at rewriting history.

      What possible reason would Russia have for wanting to rewrite history taking away the blame from the aggressor. The mind boggles.

      Give it 24hrs and the fascist tangerine will be joining in too no doubt. Dance monkey!

    3. I wonder how much of this nonsense they believe, and how much of it they know is complete rubbish? It’s genuinely interesting.

    4. Its been British foreign policy for nearly 300 years not to allow one country to dominate the continent. Guess after awhile it really pisses off the countries who want to dominate the continent.

      Even in the western world its astounding that so people believe the Russians to be the heroes of ww2. They teamed up with the Nazis to begin the war and invaded Poland. They only turned when they were betrayed

    6. Give us a few months to build a more armaments and we’ll have a crack at the third, as you seem incapable of doing it! 😉 #Putinincompetence

    7. “Two World Wars and One World Cup” should be chanted in Russia as well as Germany now

      Wait I thought according to Putin, Poland started WW2. You can’t just take that away from us!

      Everything Putin says is designed for Russian propaganda and doesn’t need to make sense to the rest of the world. It seems Trump is starting to adopt this tactic.

    10. I guess Putin has never heard of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, without which WW2 most likely wouldn’t have happened.

      There’s a discussion to be had about the UK’s role in violence around the world over the last 400+ years, and a more important one about what we can do about it.

      It’s just not one that’s going to be started by the country currently pummelling the shit out of their neighbours for what amounts to, frankly, no reason. The most common aggressor in the most recent major land wars in Europe has no leg to stand on.

    12. I’m from UK and can confirm Borris advised Zelensky not to make peace with Putin in early 22 ‘at all costs’.
      Both US and UK have been making billions from these wars. Wonder why Starmer wants to send UK troops in? 🤡

      It’s actually funny to watch the otherwise calm and collected guy descend into Trumpisms lol. I genuinely thought he had a bit more decorum than that, clearly he’s genuinely scared of someone actually standing their ground, which clearly he isn’t used to, embarrassingly.

      I’m so done, just put NATO troops on the interior Ukraine borders. This brinkmanship bullshit was old and tired 50 years ago. That regime and it’s allies does not belong in 2025.

    15. What is it with Russians and their obsession with the past? Motherfuckers, your country is fucked in the present. How about focusing on that for a change?

      What’s that I hear you say, a leader trying to improve his country’s standard of living in the here and now? Are you mad?

    16. IfYouReadThisYouAre on

      Yeah the first one is purely our royal family having a dick measuring contest with their cousin. 2nd one is a really dumb claim.

    17. According_Parfait680 on

      He’s got a point about WW1, and without the Treaty of Versailles there wouldn’t have been a second act. But at least the UK learnt the lesson of its imperial hubris and took two punishing world wars as a sign to stop thinking we had the right to any place we could take by military force. What’s Russia’s excuse?

    18. The Russians have been paranoid about the UK since the 1800s. A few changes of government from one group of paranoid lunatics to another group of paranoid lunatics isn’t going to change that.

    19. Cute_Ad_9730 on

      Are we now getting to the point that historical facts can be ‘gaslighted’ to this extent. WW1 or WW2 were started by direct invasion of sovereign countries. In the case of WW2 Germany’s invasion of Poland and their refusal of withdrawal led to Britain declaring that they were then ‘regrettably’ at war with Germany. The further invasion into France, Holland and all of West Europe, Mediterranean Europe and Africa. My British Grandfathers fought for the end to European hostilities. USA fought alongside U.S. to stop this blatant violation of humanity. NATO born out of this has led to 70 years of relative peace. Europe has supported the U.S. after the single call to arms with NATO after 9/11. Trump is now capitulating Russia aggression in Ukraine, withdrawing treaties and promises made and destabilising world peace. USA what are you doing?

    20. The only people listening to this rhetoric are the Russian people. Everyone in the west is educated enough to know the truth, and everyone else in the world (Africa, South America, Asia) are so far removed that they likely don’t care at all.

      This statement does nothing to hurt the UK.

    21. FerretsQuest on

      Yes it was the UK that instigated both world wars… in the fight against warmongers, militarists, dictators, and any other cunts spoiling for a fight against democracy and freedoms.

      Did Russia (or the Americans?) provide any alternatives?

    22. Whatever we’ve done to aggravate him that he’s not talking about. Keep it up.

    23. ScopeyMcBangBang on

      WE INSTIGATED THE RISE OF NAZI GERMANY?!

      I mean, wow. We’re truly into “let’s just say shit” territory.

    24. He’s not wrong. Up north, there were many a rally about mainland Europe, even amongst the working class

      “Kinda name is Franz Ferdinand, nowt like that round ere, ave ‘im shot, continental muk” /s clearly.

      We really are living rent-free in this pricks head, aren’t we.

    25. Tkdcogwirre1 on

      I don’t think we started them, but we sure as shit finished them. The allies win, because we have too. The alternative is a world of nazies and authoritarian mafia states

    26. The arrogance of that guy is unbelievable. Due to his decision invade Ukraine in 2022, it caused the biggest conflict in Europe since World War 2.

      Even *if* the UK did start the world wars (which they didn’t), why would it justify the invasion in 2022?

      He’s truly lost his mind. He’s in cuckoo land at this point, and has become a danger to thousands, if not millions of people.

    27. Illustrious_Bat_6971 on

      It’s so obvious why Putin and Trump “get along with each other”…..they speak the same shit.
