Putin quotes Mark Twain, SPIEF. UK Patel extradites Assange. Pelosi blames Iraq War (Alex Christoforou)

A good summary of why the expanded war happened in Ukraine from Putin as relayed by Alex Christoforou. It's the reasons listed previously, that the war there had been going for 8 years, that it was set to escalate with Ukrainian Army movements, and that peace agreements were being ignored. Russia had a choice to let the people in the Donbass continue to be victimed/killed, or act militarily.

Meanwhile in the UK the Assange persecution continues, which is an attack on free media and the people's right to know. Pelosi's Iraq War comment is another slip of the tongue incident like Bush's recent gaff.
