Since when does Russia care about democracy?

Removal of the most significant military force from the EU will make it much easier to assert territorial control over countries near Russian borders.

Britain as a neutral location would be a prime-site for money laundering to/from the EU and for basing intelligence operations.

Divide and conquer?

This is utter crap. My family are Russian and I can assure you this is not correct.

Weakens Britain.

Your news gives a one sided view to hate Russia...Russian news does the same about the UK.

For the same reason every country putsids the EU is. Because it's easier to do business with a country one-to-one without having to cut through EU redtape.

To break up and weaken his opponents and gain power.

Huh?

Because it weakens the UK and it weakens the EU.

Is that not obvious?

He is a destabilising force in the world. He wants disorder. He also supports the gilets jaunes.

Russia I can assure you is far more interested in the USA and China. The UK is of little importance.

I can't believe after the past few years that anyone is asking about Putin's motives! Destabilisation! Brexit destabilises one of the biggest financial centres in the world.

I asked people who reside in other countries if we are being shown anti Russian propaganda, they responded other countries have the same media slant on Russia.

Is your family Russian or are you? It’s odd to use the term ‘your news’!?

My parents are Russian. I was born in the UK and have lived here all my life.

But yes the propaganda against Russia here beggars belief.

I'm a bit staggered by this thread, tbh.

We know Russia set up thousands of bots to produce anti EU and pro Trump messages on social media.

Do you
a. not believe that?
b. not believe that leaving the EU will weaken the UK and the EU?

Where have you been?

People are not fond of Putin. I doubt many of us know anything much about your average Russian's views!

I don't understand why the UK is a target for Russia, why destabilise here in particular? Why survey our water and land?

You are being made to hate Russia for a reason. All I will say is we are not the enemy...and I won't comment on the alleged poisoning but
It did not happen.

russia okay that's batshit. A woman DIED. I've reported you now.

Disrupt the EU
Find the least 'satisfied' member
Fan the flames
Keep working away in the other member states that are feeling a lack of unity
Every little helps

I agree that the US is a bigger and more important target on the face of it

No one hates ‘russia’

Putin has been trying and succeeding in destabilising the west - (tbf he was probably surprised how easy it was)

Russia

WTF????

Russia isn't an enemy to Britain. It just does realpolitik, the most rational form of international political discourse. We are a rival, so they act to reduce our power and expect us to do the same to them. It's been part of the political culture since before the Revolution and to be honest it's a sign of respect.

She did not die from a Russian source. You were fed to believe that.
Report me...i have not said anything wrong.
