Until a month ago I would have thought that Putin, for all his bluster, was still intelligent enough not to get into a shooting war with the rest of the world. Now I think he's intent on doing just that.

There's speculations about mental illness setting in. Also something about him looking like he's undergone chemo. I suppose he could have had a brain tumour.

Well, if Putin starts a conflict in Finland, that may keep them out of NATO for the duration of said conflict

Yeah.  I think starting a war with Finland may result in killing off the rest of Russia's ground forces....

Finland is small, but they are highly prepared, and have a large reserve of trained men and war-ready infrastructure.

The BBC says that a video carrying its branding which claims that last week’s missile attack on a railway station was carried out by Ukraine is a fake.

The clip gives the false impression that the BBC has confirmed the missile which killed dozens of people at Kramatorsk was fired by the Ukrainian armed forces.

No such video has been produced by the BBC, and our investigation into the attack is ongoing. It has not yet been possible to verify the source of the missile.

The clip appears to have originated among pro-Kremlin accounts on social media app Telegram, but has spread across Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

It has also been aired on Russian State TV.

The stilted use of language, a non-BBC spelling of “Zelensky”, and use of footage of dead bodies all point to the video being a fake. BBC editorial guidelines restrict the use of such images without strong justification, and are always preceded by a warning.

The press office said: “The BBC is taking action to have the video removed. We urge people not to share it and to check stories on the BBC News website.”

Well there was also the one the Russians showed that showed a dummy being set up in the street that the Russians claimed proved the Ukrainians were faking the dead in the streets. Then someone pointed out the video clip was from a Russian movie production video.

On the other hand, that sort of faking has been going on for a long time in various parts of the world.

The link won't work because the site keeps censoring it.

Just google "ukrainian soldier flipping off russian warship"
