Hence my "on this occasion" They were late to the game supplying military equipment but are finally starting to do that, the oil and gas thing is complicated a little off topic but as mentioned above they are working on it, pity they relied so much on it before, bad previous decisions.

Lacessit Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 6 hours ago, Mac Mickmanus said: Ukraine takes up a huge chunk of former USSR territory and Ukraine becoming aligned with NATO would mean that Russia would lose Ukraine as an allie . NATO would only help Ukraine if Ukraine joins NATO and Ukraine has been becoming aligned with NATO and may eventually join NATO , which would take huge chunk of former USSR territory and would become a security threat to Russia . That is what the war is about The war is about theft, in the Putin tradition. The Donbas sits on huge reserves of gas, is Ukraine's industrial heartland, and also has the black soil ( chernozem ) which supports most of Ukraine's food production. The war echoes the Nazi desire for "lebensraum" to the east. It also helps Putin's strongman image among Russians, although that would be looking pretty tattered now if Russians had a free press. I'm just wondering how the body bags are being hidden. Putin has repeatedly stated he wants to go back to the USSR. Putin lost Ukraine as an ally when his puppet oligarch, Poroshenko, got booted out in a popular uprising. NATO is a defensive organisation, of course Putin does not see it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stygge Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 9 hours ago, Walker88 said: More and more folks are suggesting putin must be eliminated. I would think there have been back channel messages to those in the russian hierarchy who are viewed as sober and rational, suggesting they take out putin before the world ends. That´s hard. He is an experienced guy. He let no one get near his underwear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it meant something crazy, or support for King Vlad, who could take a Russian fascist seriously anyway? If Zelenskyy did hijack the 'Z' and make it "Z for Zelenskyy" and thus Ukraine's freedom fight, it would devalue Putin's puppet army's chosen trademark immensely. Just make sure it's not white, just to avoid confusion on the battlefield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to agree that this "banning Z in certain contexts" isn't much of a blow for the free world. Going through the motions of working within a coalition framework, I guess some party was accommodated by this otherwise worthless edict. Box checked. Next. Hey, who said it was, its a symbolic gesture and a welcome one in my view.

I have not seen any Russian with the symbol or any showing of support for Putin/the invasion. I like the way all everyone gets along in Thailand and hope this doesn't change. Hopefully Russians and other nationalities will not get carried away with nationalism here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
