It shouldn’t be forced on Ukraine. It would simply have been the best way forward, unless you think Ukraine is better today and tomorrow than it was before the SMO?

As if you know anything about Russia. Care to share your credentials? I have been following international and geopolitical matters for many years now. Nowhere have I seen credible evidence of your wild claims except on western msm which has a very clear anti Global South/Majority agenda. It really amazes me that in spite of what’s happened all over the world the past 2-3 decades that some people still believe that countries like the US want global peace and a just, fair and equitable world. It really shows the power of narrative, especially on less intelligent and gullible folks.

Just what do you think you are doing, peddling truths and facts on this thread? Don’t you know that your view is extremely unpopular, you… you… communist!? Did you notice that there has hardly been any response to your post? Truths, facts, reality… these are very inconvenient to most on here. The will either insult you in return or ignore it completely. Where I beg to differ is China’s possible actions. In the ensuing chaos, it will almost certainly try to take back Taiwan like you said. Whether this happens militarily or diplomatically will depend on what the US tries to do. I am certain that China would like to avoid killing any Taiwanese or having its own troops killed. It’s impossible for Taiwan to fight China on its own so a surrender would be the best option all round. However, that would be the extent of China’s military moves, with one possible action being the bombing of US military bases in the Philippines. This will of course bring China and US into direct conflict. Apart from this. I doubt that China has any desire to invade any other country. They have already won the hearts and minds of most, if not all, countries in SEA through trade and the BRI. Why bother to rule a country through force when that country is already on your side. The only instance we would see Chinese soldiers is if the US lands any troops on these countries.

Well, in that case, the west has nothing to worry about as Russia will i)run out of fighting man very soon ii)have a regime change iii)go bankrupt Iv)be reduced to tatters and rubble etc etc (take your pick) and Ukraine shall be victorious. And yet, all actions being taken and words spoken seem to indicate the contrary. Is someone telling porky pies? Or are some posters just delusional? Time will tell.

Wow. That’s so… profound. My dog’s suitably impressed.

I see you celebrate the deaths of Russians though. War is not child’s play. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

There wouldn’t have been any conflict if Ukraine had decided to stay neutral. Even my dog knows that. Not some posters though…

I wonder how long it would take for them to return in body bags. Nevetheless, all these desperate actions just speak to the fact that Ukraine is running out of men. Poor Ukraine.

Unsurprisingly, you are talking out of the other end of your anatomy if you think your post is even remotely sensible. I know you either don’t believe this or refuse to believe it (or maybe you don’t even know as you only follow western propaganda) but Putin has always said that he is open to talks. However this is legally not possible as a law was passed in Ukraine (I wonder which idiot thought this up) barring Ukraine from having peace talks with Russia as long as Putin is in power. So no peace talks for the next 5-6 years lol. You couldn’t make such stupidity up. The upcoming peace talks or whatever in CH is going to be good for some laughs. Zelensky’s 10 point proposal has been whittled down to just 3. No talk of war tribunal, reparations etc etc. The most important people in the world won’t even be attending. Just chihuahuas like Sunak, Scholz, Macron…

Very well said. I too have visited Russia several times on business. An ex gf was a lovely young masters graduate in political science from St. Petersburg University. It’s a country that’s rich in history and culture. The people are extremely welcoming if you treat them with respect and they gladly welcome you into their homes or to join them at their tables in restaurants. What struck me also is how safe the streets of Moscow and St. P are, even at night. I definitely felt safer there than in London, Paris or Rome. No need to even talk about the streets of NY or Chicago. Well documented as to how unsafe those are.

There are plenty of links. Unfortunately, most of them can’t be provided on this forum, for one reason or another so you are not going to be able to read such links here. If I’m not mistaken, Putin himself said that a deal was agreed. He even held up a copy of the draft agreement in a summit with the African countries. Of course, some posters on here will just say that he’s lying. With such a mindset, they will never believe anything that doesn’t tie in with their narrative and all they can do is, like @BobBKK said, raise ad hominem attacks.

Yes he can. So too can Zelensky. Sorry, I mean his masters. Zelensky’s just a puppet clown comedian. Sadlt, not gonna happen tomorrow though. Russia’s winning, no point to call a halt. The west cannot admit they are losing and it’s only Ukrainians that are dying so that’s acceptable to them. And it’s good for business too.

I really wonder if guys like you actually know what you’re talking about or read what you’re writing. I don’t know if many foreigners have left China or for what reason. A google search reveals the usual propaganda from western media. Even so, foreign investments into China is still growing with many, especially German firms, building more factories there. Scholz recently led a big delegation of top German executives to China and both CEO’s of Mercedes and BMW have stated they are increasing their investments. Large amounts of Chinese trying to get into USA illegally? Lol. Personally, I doubt that very much. Of course there are economic refugees and possibly also criminals on the run from practically every country in the world. There are plenty of examples of farangs in this country illegally. Anecdotal evidence means nothing in the overall scheme of things. The economy is like a deck of cards. Videos abound on the internet about China collapsing. China haters have been waiting for this for the last 2 decades lol. It will happen next week, they tell us. It will happen on June 4th, they tell us. Lol. Then all the US need to do is just sit back and wait and China won’t be a threat, right? No need to sanction, no need to prevent exports etc etc. This is such a ridiculous claim that I didn’t think any semi intelligent individual would still believe it. Guess I was wrong. What is most pathetic about your post however are the 2 videos you linked. The first from a clearly propaganda channel with less than 50k subscribers. A video that has no description, no commentary, that shows some buildings being demolished. There are probably many reasons for this, most of which reflects well on the government. Could be that the buildings are not up to required safety standards, maybe they were built without the proper approvals etc. Shows that the Chinese government is hard on corruption. The 2nd video is a CGI video. Looks like a computer game in fact, haha. I don’t even know what you are trying to prove. I take it you don’t like the CPC. Anyway there’s nothing you can do about it so get over it. It’s actually none of your business, unless you’re a Chinese citizen? Lol.

Nevertheless, an inconvenient question in which the answer goes against your narrative. As expected.

You are so right. Millions have died in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Gaza… oh wait. Sorry, not skin colour. Wrong religion, wrong culture. Doesn’t count as lives for white men like you.

CGTN stands for China Global Television Network so of course it’s funded by the Chinese government. Even a fool knows that. But is the UN (United Nations, as it seems you didn’t know) also funded by the Chinese government? This is the funny thing with guys like you. You are so blinkered and one sided. China bad, west good, unless they support China. So the latest is Serbia bad, Hungary bad. You are really a joke. As for CCP being toast, idiots like Gordon Chang have been predicting it, for the last 15 years lol. He will be correct, eventually… but not before they become the only superpower in the world.

Oh dear. Those poor Russian people.

Here. Free lesson for you. No charge. No need to thank me.

I have a question Biden to Skip Peace Summit in Switzerland for Hollywood Fundraiser https://www.kyivpost.com/post/33235 Does this mean that: a) he knows that it’s a farce and he does not wish to be associated with it or b) he doesn’t like to be in the company of losers?

As per your post, They can use propoganda (sic) and try to convince the poor but the influential and rich are pooring their money into the US market Yup, the more you poor, the poorer you become. Maybe access a dictionary before financial trends?

Congratulations on the most delusional post of the year.

I couldn’t care less either way. I noticed you didn’t actually address my points directly. Too intellectual?

He’s just a bitter old man, living out his days in the 3rd world as he can’t afford to live in his home country.

To add to the above, I just saw on YT that there is now an application by the lead prosecutor of the ICC for issuance of arrest warrants for among others, Netanyahu and Gallant. Historic. The first of many dominoes to fall.
