That's where it needs to be kicked out. agree with that and if you look at past comments, I have been saying the same, the Chinetoques and Ruskoffs should be kicked out, re-structure the UN and not give them veto power under ANY circumstances 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What constitutes a reliable source? State governments? Some so called expert on CNN? Only if you’re on this side. Views and opinions of scholars and intellectuals that don’t fit the narrative are described as pro-Russia (as if that’s automatically wrong). If Putin himself says that the US instigated the war, do you think members on here would accept this as a reliable source? Rhetorical question lol. so your opinion is merely rhetorical then, no substance to back up your narrative, that could be interpreted as being a pro-Russia..... maybe you don't know but Putin has been claiming, week on & week off, the US has instigated the war in Ukraine, the week after he claims it's Nato, the week later it's the EU, what narrative should I consider here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes it does affect other Countries. If Europe didn’t sanction Russia, and Biden didn’t put an end to NS2, then the gas could still be flowing. Russia wants to continue selling gas to Europe, thus the plans to make Turkiye the gas hub as no other nation is willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very sanctions that prevent the maintenance of units, which prevent them from moving without appropriate legal guarantees, which prevent these legal guarantees from being given, and so on.” “It is precisely these sanctions that the Western states have introduced that have brought the situation to what we see now,” Peskov added." Officially, Russia is not cutting supplies, It's forced to do it for technical reasons! ???? Edited October 29, 2022 by candide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they keep documenting all the war crimes Russia is committing on a daily basis. And maybe some day there will be a UN tribunal where those responsible will be held accountable.

BarraMarra Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Well war crimes committed in Bosnia were investigated and those accountable were sentanced. It will take time maybe years but these Russian thugs will be prosecuted. Already acts comitted are processed with some being identified and named. Putin and lavrov will evade justice 1 way another in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So raining Iranian kamikaze drones on Ukrainian civil targets is okay, but when Ukraine sends drones to attack legitimate Russian military targets it’s not? Can’t have it both ways, Vlad, so either stop attacking Ukrainian civil targets, or quit b*tching when Ukraine strikes back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
