Turkey refused to accept condolences from the U.S. after the terrorist attack on Istiklal Street in Istanbul, the republic's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said, RIA Novosti reported.
the minister was quoted as saying by CNN Turk."We know where the attack was coordinated. We received the message given to us and we know what the message was. We do not accept the condolences of the American embassy. We are not treacherous to anyone, but we no longer have tolerance for these treacherous acts. Istiklal Street is our child. If we had not caught the attacker, he would have fled to Greece today,"
Best I could find ... the key portions of the above is now excised/censored when I access youtube & use CC with auto-translate ...

The ussual situation in Yugoslav wars in the 1990s.A classic comedy act in the Ukrainian trenches, this Ukrainian man spent two days digging a trench alongside a Russian unit and didn't even notice until the morning of the 3rd he came to talk to one of the "other guys" to find out what was going on... And then, before he knew it, he was disarmed and taken prisoner.
-Then while we were walking with him, I looked at his uniform and understood that I really screwed up...
I think you're not from Ukraine, I guess, and he says: Well, good job, you guessed right...
Only the chevrons on their uniforms reveal their affiliation, this Ukrainian prisoner speaks Russian with a heavy southern accent, and that is the tragedy of this war.

◾Un acto de comedia clásico en las trincheras ucranianas, este hombre ucraniano pasó dos días cavando una trinchera junto a una unidad rusa y ni siquiera se dio cuenta hasta que en la mañana del 3 decidió ir a hablar con uno de los "otros tipos" para averiguar qué estaba pasando... Y luego...t.me
Dear Laura,Have you been providing your sources and data in a clean, efficient way?
Anyway, Ark and several others who are Russian speakers/readers read the Russian and Ukie sources every day. So why is there a clash between their view and yours?
Also, why is there a clash between your view and what the Cs point out?
Генассамблея ООН приняла резолюцию о репарациях киевскому режимуThe UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on reparations to the Kiev regime
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on reparations to the Kiev regime. Russia's Permanent Representative Vasily Nebeznya called the provisions of the resolution "legally null and void."
In the draft, members of the General Assembly are invited to recognize Russia's responsibility for violations of international law, as well as oblige to compensate for the damage caused. The resolution was co-sponsored by Canada, Guatemala, the Netherlands and Ukraine.
"From a legal point of view, the provisions of the draft do not stand up to any criticism, are legally null and void and an attempt to legalize the illegalizable from the point of view of current international law," Nebeznya said.
China, Belarus, the DPRK, Ethiopia and 10 other states voted against the draft resolution. Brazil, Serbia, the UAE, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and 67 UN member states abstained in the vote. 94 States voted "for" the adoption of the resolution.
Following the results of the special session, the participants of the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the creation of an international register of damage. The participants also recognized the need to create a mechanism for compensation of losses.

I think you are cherry picking @Antony. The session you are picking from was some time after Putin was first discussed, and after many years of observing Putin and Russia. Original questions on Putin do not appear to be emotionally skewed. But at this point, observations (left and right) and corroborated by the C's has led to a connection to Putin, witness letters from us to him. This information does not seem to fit your milieu, your understanding and so it is difficult to accept. Decades of observation, hints from the C's doesn't mean we are correct, but you have not presented evidence, only intelligent and otherwise opinions. Vectors from Russian or Ukrainian bloggers, so-called experts who present information from their perspective muddies the waters. If you play in the dirt, you're going to get dirty.Emotional attachment?
Extract from session 7 February 2015
(L) Putin gives me hope.
(L) I am so afraid for him.
(Pierre) I am worried about him. If he disappears what is left?
(L) It would take all the hope away.
I do perfectly understand that we all need hope, but the price if that turns out to be an illusion could be very high in the end...
Spiritual warriors know all the rules of manipulation. You will never win a battle with your language manipulated in advance by the language of the opponent to form the opinion of the masses.Can someone hazard a guess as to why Putin doesn't do the following if his aim is to enact a multipolar world.
If Russia is in an existential battle, why don't they take the above actions. There is no need to expend so much military resources when you can leverage truth. The West lies, it's not enough to say it lies, why doesn't he show it to the world.
- Why doesn't the Russian state tell the whole world what are in the mRNA jabs and their hazards to health - like why must we rely on independent researchers. What does Russia owe Pfizer or Moderna.
- Why doesn't the Russian state pursue the origins of covid - I'm sure they have very capable scientists.
- Why doesn't the Russian state educate its people (and by extension, the world) on how Western propaganda works in a way that is self evident to the average Russian on the street
I expect it must be because there must be agreements in place on what can and can't be done.
I get why China doesn't take any of the above actions but I don't get why Russia doesn't.

Q: (L) He can work on the Signs page. (Andromeda) Good idea! (A) I want to know what is the future
of the present growing tension between the US and Putin?
A: Most of it is show, but there is also the fact that Putin is a smart man who is leading the tyrant into
a trap.
Q: (L) I would say it’s not so much because he’s a good guy as it is because it’s a power struggle.
A: Yes.
Q: (Ailén) Is Putin working with Chavez on that?
A: Sure.
Q: (L) Sure, he’ll work with anybody. He’s not a stupid man. He’s WAY smarter than Bush. I think
he’s smarter than Sarkozy, and he’s definitely smarter than Blair. He’s got some neurons firing there.

(Ark) Is Putin a psychopath?
A: Now, now… That would be cheating!
Q: (L) I don’t think he is. (S) I think he could still be evil, ya know, but of all the leaders I’ve ever heard
or read about, he seems to say the most reasonable and truthful things. Which doesn’t mean he isn’t evil
or hasn’t done evil things, but in comparison to all the other ones… (L) When you’re in that position,
growing up in this world, how can you not be… But he’s like the Diet Coke of Evil: Just one calorie.
(Ark) When you want to show that you are not a psychopath, you have to say something completely
different. (L) Well, Bush does it all the time, Bush is always saying those completely different things all
the time too, but he doesn’t have any action to back it up. I mean, he didn’t do anything to break down
the oligarchs in the US, and the US has plenty of them. (J) In the time that Putin has been in power,
he hasn’t really used his power… (L) In an evil way… (J) like Bush has, Putin hasn’t invaded any other
countries unilaterally, or…

A: The real war, as you know, is on normal people via proxies.
Q: (Kniall) Are the Russians really trying to stop this?
A: At the moment.
Q: (Perceval)So…
A: Putin is also not so heartless.
Q: (Perceval)What are the chances that if the Americans and French bomb Syria, that Putin and the
Russian military would respond?
A: Very good unless things change.
(and this is what happened, Syria asked for assistance and Russia responded)
22/3/2014
Q: (L) Okay, I guess the question on a lot of people’s minds is: How about that Vladimir Putin, huh?
A: He’s not perfect but he’s the best your planet has in such a position at this time.
Q: (L) So, he’s not a psychopath?
A: No.
Q: (Perceval) Is there anyone essentially giving him orders? Is what he’s doing being controlled directly
in that sense?
A: Not in the sense you mean, but yes in the sense of conscience.
Q: (Ark) I think that what is of value is that he has the right team of advisors. When you have your
advisors and they are smart and knowledgeable, they are experts in certain areas, and they will say, “If
you do this, this will be the result, so I suggest that.”
A: Indeed, there are many in Russia who learned in a school of hard reality difficult for Westerners to
imagine. On top of this, they are better educated in general.
Q: (PoB) Is there a real threat of Putin being assassinated?
A: Always that, but he wasn’t KGB for nothing.

(Puck) Is Putin a descendant of Julius Caesar? (laughter)
A: No, but member of the same soul group.
