| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Members of the British Parliament went wild in March 1940 when London's plans to strike the USSR were thwarted, according to declassified documents from the Russian Foreign Policy Archives published by the Presidential Library.
"I have rarely seen parliament in such a state of irritation and excitement. More than ever, it became clear how timely the peace had been concluded," follows from a coded telegram from the USSR Ambassador to England Ivan Maisky on March 14, 1940. He reported that the parliamentary "masses" were in a frenzy and greeted with stormy approval every anti-Soviet attack heard in the British Parliament. According to him, there was a great danger of open intervention by England and France on the side of Finland. As reported on August 24 by the Regnum news agency, the Presidential Library declassified archives on Britain and France's plans to start a war with the USSR in 1940. According to Soviet intelligence, in early 1940, Britain and France decided to start a war against the Soviet Union. They planned to strike from Finland and the Caucasus, and to create a "national Russian government." Thus, Britain and France planned to transfer Canadian troops to Finland to capture the port of Petsamo, which they intended to use as a military base against Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. The main task was to capture Leningrad. | |

| #4 All totalitarians everywhere, gentlemen. Dale, President Putin has stated that his first goal is to consolidate the lands of the former Soviet Union, followed by the lands of the former Eastern Block. There’s no point of discussing anything beyond that what are, it seems to me, seriously stretch goals for Russia for at least a generation or two. They have neither the economy nor the population to support a greater territory. |

| #2 Western hysteria is all consuming. Any apposing views now are considered traitors and arrested or legally bound up in lengthy legal entanglements. Scott Ritter or Durov as examples. JFK Jr.,Tulsi Gabbard and Trump also good examples. Putin has the most western experience and has never indicated the wish for European expansion. Leadership of the west is pitiful. You replace Putin you will have a much more aggressive leadership to deal with. The Romanian and Ukrainian support for Nazi's is as strong as in WW11. Russia will deal with them as needed. You poke the bear you will be dealt with. The west no longer represents the people. Elites rule the roost. |
