In the interests of not peddling misconceptions, especially after all the media rubbish that has been thrown at the club this year, I thought I would respond to the blog about Russia apparently withcalling their foreign diplomats in prep for ww3.
Please see Media Watch episode from last Monday: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4558186.htm
The original article came "off an obscure Russian website in Ekaterinburg—many miles from Moscow—called Znak.com."
The article was then deciphered using google translate.
As stated by Dr John Besemeres "Belkovsky is not talking about a military war. The ‘war’ is between Putin and the elites living abroad. This is about bringing their money, their kids and their families home to Russia for economic and patriotic reasons. In that sense he is talking about a metaphorical ‘war’ only."
i.e. Putin had requested foreign diplomats not indulge in sending their children to expensive western schools due to the bad look it gives the Russian ruling elites.
So remember, if something sounds extraordinary and has little to no sources think before you blindly re-post. In an era where media seemingly fail to fact check, the readers need to do that job. Something we should all be mindful of after the year the Eels have had in 2016 and some of the misconceptions that have been peddled by certain sections of the media, i.e. Paul Kent et al.

While the isis web pages are received by very few, our media promote it to millions.
The news is all business and ratings.
Hope so.
