Can the zombies pushing the official narrative keep up with it, please. The corporate media has given up on the laughable 'North Koreans' story line now.

Reuters & Bloomberg etc report meeting is happening this week.

Russia has stated they won't allow NATO 'peace keepers' but I'm certainly under the impression they'd allow them from other countries.

India currently has UN 'peace keeping' forces in Lebanon, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire.

Since 2014 russian TV has continually covered the ethnically russian civilian population of east Ukraine being bombed by nazi Kiev forces. Plenty of men are prepared to enlist for what they see as a humanitarian intervention.

Zelensky is aware of everything? He isn't 'aware' of the location of 100 billion in aid.

At this point you might see the U.S. persuing Zelensky for what they consider 'stolen' assets. And I'm not sure there's anywhere he can hide?

Seems to me the 'interest on russian frozen assets' has now been committed to repay loans etc. about ten times over.

This is clearly *stealing* and the Russians have a legal case to retrieve the assets & the interest. If you'd have asked me a few weeks ago I don't think the legal case would succeed but now you conceivably get the U.S. advocating for them.

If you actually check the link for the "two weeks" comment, it's not even clear whether he did say it. However, the point is Russia *could* take Kiev in two weeks....they don't want to though. That's not their aim!

(Although worth noting Ukraine's armed forces were a lot stronger in 2022 than they were in 2014.)

We're now referencing what The Guardian was saying in 2014? Excellent!

Whether something is a 'putin talking point' or whatever is irrelevant. The question is whether it's *true*. Whether it's *fact*. Facts don't care about you're feelings.

If you condemn Hitler, are you not repeating Stalin's talking points?

(Btw, ZeroHedge clearly has nothing to do with 'russian state media', although it does have contributers who also appear on RT.)

NATO bombed Serbia. NATO is blatantly an aggressive alliance.

No one in the Russian government said anything about '3 days'. Total nonsense western propaganda.

Russia wants to protect the people of east Ukraine, who have been massacred by Kiev since 2014, and stop the literally Nazis Ukrainian armed forces getting American nuclear weapons. And Russia has succeeded. If they wanted to 'take Ukraine' they'd have gone about the war in a completely different way.

Atlas (MetalNRG) are on the main market. Always have been.

Is that Paul Pavlou increasing his holding?

Taking consolidation etc. into account share price is now below what it was in September - long before the Copper acquisition was even announced.

The RNS of October 17th says the RTO will be completed this month.

(And they do seem to be getting on with it)

It's made official after market close today.

The 2015 Minsk accords set up east Ukraine to run itself. Kiev forces regularly bombed civilian areas in it. East Ukraine has a right to self-defense, and also has a right to ask Russia to help it's self defence.

Sorry to be doomy but how long can this be suspended? (I thought there was a rule that you couldn't be suspended for more than 6 months.)
