There's plenty of BM's here do as well and they aren't Chinese.

I am not in politics, but the world vote to condamn the Russian invasion is clear.
The President of the UN General Assembly, Abdulla Shahid to read out the clear result of this vote: 141 votes in favour, five against, 35 abstentions.

And the Russian embassy can threaten and say whatever they want. In the eyes of world society, they are the military invaders into a peaceful country.

This ia a bit strong! 

 

You have been brainwashed by the US/UK media. 

 

Personally, I don't condone Russia's action but slightly understand it. 

 

Before I went to sleep, my wife said to me: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukarine.

So I said nothing, I just went to the kitchen and took a knife to bedside, then I said: Let’s go to sleep.

My wife looked at me with her wide eyes: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!

I said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Beside, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.

My wife said: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?

I said: Well, You don’t even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato.

 

 

Not quite the right analogy, NATO is a defensive pact, it’s more you going to sleep in a bulletproof vest or stab vest.

except it has 'defensively' gotten involved in things like Iraq.  and can defensively start deploying all sorts of missiles very close to Moscow if it's allowed to sprawl.  NATO should have been ended at the same time the Warsaw Pact was ended.

While his Embassies around the world warn people not to go and fight in Russia they recruit Syrians to come and help their illegal invasion:

NATO Mission Iraq (NMI) is a non-combat mission that aims to strengthen Iraqi security institutions and forces so that they are able to prevent the return of ISIS, fight terrorism and stabilise their country. It was at the NATO Summit in Brussels in July 2018, following a request from the government of Iraq, that Allied Leaders launched this advisory and capacity-building mission in Iraq, which was established in October 2018.

I think it's tragic that every despot dictator always manages to find people to carry out their wishes.  Beating up protesters, torture, invading another country.  

 

Russia, Myanmar, North Korea, China - no shortage of evil little Minions to carry out their orders.

Russian Govt like salesmen now. They have to know that less than 1% of people anywhere are  going to believe anything they say. They lie like breathing and cannot possibly believe that any rational person is even listening post- invasion.

Should Ukraine fall...

 

On the news the other day, one UK military expert was estimating that Russia would have to maintain an occupation force of several hundred thousand troops in Ukraine on an ongoing basis in order to maintain control of the country.

 

I wonder if the Russian military is really up for that prospect?

 

As I understand it they only left Afghanistan because Gorbachev became leader.  IMO it depends on many factors that may not be obvious at present.

Besides, they may not want to control the entire country. I doubt Putin is sharing his objectives on social media.

Well obviously not. Just doing what they’re told re. govt. propaganda.

But that’s not the point. Nobody cares what they care about. Puppets  of gangsters & thugs who rule Russia or part of that.

While making no apology for my unlimited condemnation of Russia invading Ukraine, I do want to thank the Russian citizens who are demonstrating their condemnation of Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. Both the Ukrainian citizens fighting for their country and Russians in Russia fighting against this wrongful action should gain our recognition.

Russian citizens are being threatened with 15 years in jail for protesting against the war. I imagine that might be a huge deterrent.

Let's not be too one eyed here. Protesters against the Vietnam war were treated just as harshly in the US.

Militarily overrunning a country is one thing. Maintaining control of an overrun country, with a population  widely inclined to oppose you, is a different task.

 

The Russian army have already lost more troops in Ukraine than the Soviet army lost in ten years in Afghanistan. I don't know how much longer the Russian people can or will put up with a procession of bodybags.

As time goes on, Russia appears to be increasing more desperate. They do not seem to enjoy being the world's greatest pariah. They are, and deservedly so. Having a despot dictator for a leader comes at a high cost.

Western currencies seem to benefit from sanctions on Russia.  Let’s keep this up, for that and for the sake of the beleaguered Ukrainians.

Putin's mafia clan lied to everyone. Lies his own population with ever new lies. At first it was just a special mission against the Ukrainian Nazis. It's just a pity that the right-wing got less than 2% of the votes in the last election and aren't even represented in the parliament of Ukraine. Then he lied to his own soldiers that the whole thing was just an exercise. In truth, it is a war of conquest of the entire Ukraine. Anyone in Russia who publicly opposes the war against the so-called brother people is going to prison for 15 years. Then the perpetrator Putin becomes the victim. NATO is to blame. Although many of the Eastern European states have been NATO members since 1999 and 2004. Against this background, Putin's pseudo-argument that NATO would then stand on the Russian border in the event of Ukrainian membership is completely absurd. Then the war is now being justified with the existence of biological laboratories, except that no Antrax is being produced there, but medical research is being carried out on vaccines, etc., just like in any other country. Putin is afraid of his own people. When a bit of democracy flares up and the population asks how such a small KGB officer could become the richest man in the world and why all his 300 mafia friends are billionaires. Putin has shut down and blocked all critical media in his own country. But sooner or later,  the truth will come out and then his own people will eliminate him. With this war Putin and his mafia clan bring only misery to the people of Ukraine, Russia and to the people across Europe.

Defensive pact? They are the main responsibles of how this crisis was created. NATO has one single purpose: make sure that Russia is perceived as a threat. Or how could they justify all their expensive directors and generals and weapons and military bases.

In fact, NATO should be dismantled. EU should have their own european army, without being joined at the hip with the US. But this will not be allowed.

Please stop the BS. Russia is not "perceived as a threat". Russia has fully confirmed it is a threat by invading Ukraine. 

As about NATO being "responsible". The USSR colapsed because is was deficient. The Russian federation contributed to it as it left it in June 1991, as the democratically elected government declared its independence, 6 months before the USSR dissolution by Gorbachev. Then after an initial growth period, Putin <deleted> up by being unable to define and implement a Russian development model. Fact is that Russia is unable to attract any country, from both a political and economic perspective, unless this country is governed by another dictator (ex Belarus).

Having said that, I may well agree with you that the EU should have its own army, but if there isn't any,  It's not particularly  because It's "forbidden". There was simply, up to now, no agreement about it among Member States.

Russia was part of NATO until they invaded Crimea
