"A source close to Sputnik claims that the attack was carried out at the insistence of British advisers. It sounds as if this could have been a mistake rather than a deliberate act designed to kill POWs."
Well, you know what Andrei Martyanov says about that: British troops (and Mi6) these days only know how to kill civilians and conduct terror attacks since they've ceased being a functioning army (and government). Couple that with historic British hatred of Russia and, well, I think it's difficult to give them the benefit of the doubt. OTOH, Martyanov also always says western militaries are incompetent, so there's that.
Nice pic of Christopher Lambert as Connor McCleod from the "Highlander" franchise - one of my favorite movie franchises (absent the second in the series which was utter garbage and is now considered non-canonical.) It also spun off two TV series: "Highlander" - which lasted 6 seasons - and "Highlander - The Raven" which was only one season.
Glad you liked the pic - I wanted it for the Claymore. By the way, and off topic. I saw a trailer of Napoleon which dealt with Austerlitz: it was amazing. Have you seen it yet?
Nope, haven't seen it. I doubt I'd be interested. Period pieces tend not to interest me. Although I do admit I'm looking forward to the remake of Shogun. Hiroyuki Sanada, the legendary Japanese actor who's been around since the 1980s and one of my favorite actors, will be in it. Not to mention Anna Sawai, who was recently in the "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" TV series; she's drop dead gorgeous. I can stand watching Japanese period pieces, but not so much European ones, with some exceptions.
There is only one Rule in the Rules Based Order: All the Way With The USA (bugger international law).
True enough - cheers Joy.
Another comprehensive review.

"They have lost their bearings," so to speak.
They've lost their bearings.
And they've lost their bearings.
