Sanctions only hurt the poor. The rich will be fine with these resources to sell to China, North Korea, Thailand etc

Well, unlike Ukraine, some countries just decide to surrender and go along with the tyrants.

Yes but getting kickbacks.

 

Russian needs the resources. Plus sea access. Putin doesnt want to give away resources to ... Biden.

Kickbacks.....Yes! I am pretty confident such things don't happen in Russia.......555.....They are not his resources by the way....they belong to Ukraine.

 

The EU wants gas....should they invade Russia because they want it? 

Russia will neutralize the threatening military force and denazify Ukraine. These are the stated goals. Both are going as planned. Vast majority of Ukrainian people are normal people but there are bad nationalistic flies in the ointment that must be purged. This is exactly what is happening. The world preferred not to notice, now it’s going to pay the economic price.

I'm not surprised by this.  Thailand has a history of picking the wrong side in a fight ... they were after all, part of the Axis Alliance during WWII.

Shame.

If Thailand lies down with pigs it must expect to get covered in s**t. Or maybe the Thai Government admires and aspires to such authoritarian regimes.

Some matters, he said, must be allowed to take their natural path, adding that the war in Ukraine involves many players with various vested interests.

 

With this line of text ...........hold on......................sorry, had to puke.  I realy can not believe this. Minister Don Key.

Travel bubble with China, gone.

Last hope was the russians but this dream is over as well.

There are very few real democracies in the world, probably less than 10, all of them in Europe, mostly in Scandinavia.

Can you post a link with the list of targets, just curious who is on the list.

Wrong but you could always provide a list and link if you want to research that better?

Just watched the Oliver Stone docu about UKr, didn't change my mind about UKr, still a rogue State with a lot of Nazi filth during the last 80 years. The East part is more civilised.

 

Analysis: Putin’s claim that war on Ukraine is to target Nazis is absurd. Here’s why

 

"The victims of the genocide claimed by Putin are Russian speakers; the Nazis he referenced are the elected representatives of the Ukrainian people.

 

While Ukraine’s new language laws have upset some minorities, independent news media have uncovered no evidence of genocide against Russian speakers. In fact, as the historian Timothy Snyder has pointed out, Russian speakers have more freedom in Ukraine than they have in Russia, where Putin’s authoritarian government routinely suppresses political dissent.

 

And while far right groups have been growing in Ukraine, their electoral power is limited. ... First, it is worth pointing out that Ukraine today is a vibrant, pluralistic democracy. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky won a five-year term in the 2019 presidential election with a landslide majority, defeating 39 candidates."

They also fail to mention that  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish as is the Prime Minister

Of course not, because he and his comrades are one and the same… commies to the end. How far would the world be without any of them?

Pretty obvious what the war is about. Thes west wants the resources. Putin says nup they are mine.

How about the people of Ukraine, do they have a role in the decision?

I condemn the action of Russia but I just as well do not approve the actions of our western friends. The USA, Europe, NATO, are teasing the Russian bear ever since the fall of Yeltsin and are now “astonished” to see the bear react. The Russian operation in Ukraine is not different from what the USA and its allies have done in different parts of the world since the end of WW2 . . .  Thailand would be wise to stay out . . .

Well whete I'm sitting it seems they are showing hourly by their stand against Putins lap dogs that they clearly have and want a role. They are stepping up and fighting unlike most of the Russian soldiers captured who thought they were on exercises. Like I pointed out earlier Russia is very fortunate that NATO forces cant fly over Ukraine as that 30 mile convey would be consigned to scrap along with thousands of dead Russian soldiers . Putin has taken a step to far . Sad but he's nothing short of a low life thug . Thoughts and prayers to all in Ukraine ????????❤️????????
