Russian provocation on NATO RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT CONDUCT UNSAFE, UNPROFESSIONAL OVERFLIGHT OF NATO SHIPS IN BALTIC SEA On the morning of Nov. 17, two Russian fighter aircraft made an unsafe and unprofessional approach toward Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1), which was conducting routine operations in the Baltic Sea. The Russian pilots failed to respond to Allied forces’ standing query communications and overflew the force at an altitude of 300 feet and a distance of 80 yards. NATO deemed the interaction unsafe and unprofessional since it was conducted in a known danger area, which was activated for air defence training, and due to the aircraft altitude and proximity. The interaction increased the risk of miscalculations, mistakes, and accidents. https://mc.nato.int/media-centre/news/2022/russian-aircraft-conduct-unsafe--unprofessional-overflight-of-nato-ships-in-baltic-sea

This is not about Minsk 2 so I will just leave this here so you can digest why that never worked and then get back to Nord Stream 2 The Minsk II deal set out military and political steps that remain unimplemented. A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/9/what-is-the-minsk-agreement-and-why-is-it-relevant-now

Yes I know, what point are you trying to make, this is all very well documented and had been for for many months. Why not wait like everyone else for the investigation instead of your baseless accusssations? White House imposes sanctions on Nord Stream 2 pipeline company and CEO President Joe Biden is expected to announce the sanctions as soon as Wednesday against the company Nord Stream 2 AG and its German chief executive officer. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/23/white-house-sanctions-nord-stream-2-pipeline-00010968

Yep, it worked. Nord Stream 2: MEPs and US pressure Germany to stop Russia pipeline Members of the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of a non-binding resolution calling for an immediate halt on the infrastructure project, which is 95% completed. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2021/01/27/nord-stream-2-eu-parliament-and-biden-administration-pressure-germany-to-stop-russia-pipel

No courage needed. Just evidence.

Refreshing to see that you count the UN as a reliable source. Nobody ever mentioned that Ukraine has been snow white and all links to UN sources take a balanced view based on investigations and evidence. You may also want to read my previous UN links. Plenty of them listing all war crimes.

On 22nd Feb Germany froze Nordstream 2. Thanks to Biden. Russia accusing the UK should provide evidence first. Thats why we are waiting for Sweden. Ie, evidence not baseless accusations

My post was referring to Joe and what he said about Hunter but seeing as you edited what he said out in your reply go ahead and keep wishing for your trolling emoji's

Ukraine war: 10 million without power after Russian strikes On Thursday, Russia pounded Ukraine with a fresh missile barrage, hitting more energy installations and civilian buildings less than two days after one of its heaviest bombardments yet. This has been a recent Russian tactic following setbacks on the battlefield, and its impact is starting to be felt more acutely. People in Kyiv woke to a blanket of snow on Thursday morning, and the emergency power shutdowns have meant many do not have heating in their homes. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63659370 EU chief: Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine are war crimes European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday called Russian attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure war crimes and echoed concerns about the impending winter season. “Russia’s attacks against civilian infrastructure, especially electricity, are war crimes. Cutting off men, women, children of water, electricity and heating with winter coming — these are acts of pure terror. And we have to call it as such,” von der Leyen said on Twitter. https://thehill.com/policy/international/3695838-eu-chief-russian-attacks-on-civilian-infrastructure-in-ukraine-are-war-crimes/

I take it you're now trolling, the is no iron dome over Ukraine that shoots down all missiles, more air defense is needed. Just because its intercepting the majority of incoming missiles, huge civilian infrastructure damage is being done daily.

He was not disputing with experts say though was he. Its quite obvious that there is no near term victory to be had by Ukraine and this will take a long time. Its also quite obvious that Ukraine has retaken a lot of territory with Russia now on the backfoot but they still retain a large proportion of territory and still retain a large amount of military hardware.

Exactly, Trump and his Republican allies in Congress made Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine a line of attack against the elder Biden during the 2020 election campaign

No didn't miss more off topic nonsense

LOL, going by your previous predictions, I'll pass on these too

Headlines eh, the actual context is very warming, how all parents should be: "Well, look," Biden said, pausing briefly, "we have great confidence in our son, I am not concerned about any accusation made against him, it's used to get to me, I think it's kind of foul play, but look, it is what it is. And he's a grown man -- he is the smartest man I know, I mean, in a pure intellectual capacity. And as long as he's good, we're good." Colbert expressed admiration for Joe's response, but asked Biden: "Can you reach across the aisle to people who will be using this as an attack on you, when it is such a personal attack, because it's about family." "If it benefits the country, yes," Biden replied. "I really mean it.

One former Twitter worker who wished to remain anonymous told the BBC: "I think when the dust clears today, there's probably going to be less than 2,000 people left." Another person said they had resigned even though they had been prepared to work long hours. "I didn't want to work for someone who threatened us over email multiple times about only 'exceptional tweeps should work here' when I was already working 60-70 hours weekly," they said. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63672307

Putin was the one who picked the fight with Ukraine, he's the one who screwed up

Just because Biden denied this (whether he was telling the truth or not) does not make it a conspiracy theory as you claim, you should probably look up what that means.....lol

If you had quoted my full post then your questions would already been addressed

Agreed. "An old saying says the first casualty of every war is the truth." Kremlin says Bucha is 'monstrous forgery' aimed at smearing Russia

This OP is not about John Mearsheimer opinion pieces What’s Missing from Mearsheimer’s Analysis of the Ukraine War July 29, 2022 The three most important are the security imperatives of Russia’s neighbors, the increasing authoritarianism of the Russian state and the true horror of Russia’s brutal war and occupation. By not adequately weighing these factors, Mearsheimer can explain Putin’s invasion of a peaceful, independent nation as a predictable reaction to Western provocations. He blasts the U.S. and NATO response as an overreaction to a limited conflict. Analyzing only parts of the equation, he arrives at a deeply flawed solution: In my understanding, he essentially calls on the West to militarily abandon Ukraine and to cede it to Russia’s sphere of influence. https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/whats-missing-mearsheimers-analysis-ukraine-war

Yet he's already having second thoughts.............. Now, it seems Musk is concerned that not enough employees are buying into his vision of an“extremely hardcore” Twitter. Bloomberg reports that Musk has been pitching “key employees” on his plans and that he has tapped other leaders “to convince employees to stay” on at the company. 100's have opted for severance "The departures raise new questions about whether the remaining Twitter engineers will be able to reliably keep the service up and running. Current and former employees are already speculating that the latest exodus could further put Twitter’s ability to function at risk, especially with the start of the World Cup a few days away."

But you said below........................ My quote was also from the OP, of course its about Hunter
