Why would anyone risk dealing drugs in SE Asia.

That’s harsh.

Nope https://www.state.gov/the-kremlins-never-ending-attempt-to-spread-disinformation-about-biological-weapons/ Russia, like the Soviet Union before it, has pushed false claims for decades about biological weapons in an attempt to create mistrust in the peaceful global efforts and public health institutions that counter biological threats. Since the February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s disinformation and propaganda ecosystem has increased the volume and intensity of its disinformation about biological weapons in an unsuccessful attempt to deflect attention from its invasion of Ukraine, to diminish international support for Ukraine, and to justify its unjustifiable war.

Joining NATO is voluntary. Counties are joining NATO became they don’t want to live under the thumb of Putin.

Why did NATO expand? Was it became counties wanted to be protected from Putin? The Civil war in Donbas was egged on my Putin. Russia soon annexed Crimea after a highly disputed referendum. In April 2014, Russian-backed militants seized towns in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and proclaimed the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) as independent states, starting the Donbas war. The Biological research labs are Russian propaganda. Please provide evidence. It’s not Putin’s business if Ukraine joins the EU. Counties around Russia want nothing to do with Russia.

What reason do you feel is valid.

It’s not simplistic. It’s the truth. Putin started a dumb war of conquest.

What are the valid reason?

What are the valid reasons?

Russia is nothing but gas station.

The Russia view is delusional. That’s what happens when a country like Russia is run by a sociopath.

I’ve been to Ukraine and I’ll never travel to Russia. Where do you get your info from? Russian propaganda sources. I don’t know anyone can defend Putins actions in this war.

No one is poking the Russian bear. Putin decided to invade Ukraine for no reason and West is helping Ukraine defend their borders.

You are nothing but walking talking Russian propaganda machine.

This is nothing but Russian propaganda. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/115204.htm

I don’t understand why so many of you people fall for Russian propaganda. I have news for you, Russia lost the war in the Ukraine and is stuck in a quagmire. The longer the war the worse it is for Russia.

That is the MSNBC view of life. MSNBC is awful.

The courts will strike this down.

The West can beat Russia. Russian can't even handle Ukraine.

Democracy is declining in SE Asia. https://www.economist.com/asia/2023/08/31/south-east-asian-democracy-is-declining

By who?

Prove it.

This is not the 1930 and 40's.

I’m sure why the US should be sticking its nose in Sweden’s business.

What does liberal even mean these days? It used to mean individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, etc.
