 This is irrelevant to your inane comment saying how wonderful USA has been. Russia joined the Allies in 1941 and lost 27m compared to USA's 400,000 - show some respect.

I never said how "wonderful" the USA has been. I have never shown no respect for the USSR in the 1940's..........

 

You should get your head sorted out and realise your hero Putin is NOW the aggressor over NOTHING........Hypocrite...🙄

In view of my precise and factual what do you think? 

Does China have Issues? what country does not? sis I say it will dethrone the dollar?

No go back and read what I said . I said it could,  

"Russia, China team up against the US dollar with planned blockchain payment system"

https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/russia-china-team-up-against-us-dollar-planned-blockchain-payment-system

You're reading Fox? My estimate of your IQ just took a dive.

 

96% of trade contracts in the Americas are written in USD.

 

Asia Pacific 74%

 

Rest of the world 79%

 

Weaker in Europe ( Euro settlements ) only 66%.

 

You don't think Silicon Valley can come up with their own blockchains?

 

If I was a Western business owner, I would trust a Russo-Chinese payment system based on electrons about as much as I would trust a rattlesnake.

Even easier (although extremely unlikely). Russia withdraws its' troops and leaves Ukraine to manage its' own affairs.

I agree... but it doesn't "manage its own affairs" the USA manages them for it - deposing a democratically elected president. Yanukovych had been duly elected in balloting that international observers considered reasonably free and fair—about the best standard one can hope for outside the mature Western democracies. A decent respect for democratic institutions and procedures meant that he ought to be able to serve out his lawful term as president, which would end in 2016.

Nuland noted in a speech to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation on December 13, 2013, that she had travelled to Ukraine three times in the weeks following the start of the demonstrations. Visiting the Maidan on December 5, she handed out cookies to demonstrators and expressed support for their cause.

McCain was worse - he dined with Yanokuvich's opposition leaders and supported his overthrow.

OR: Easy to stop Ukraine democracy.  Just stop sending them money and armaments and it will all be Russia. No need to worry about further expansionist tendencies...

that can't possibly be right since 18% of world trade is conducted by BRICK 

as they say "This does not compute" 

And don't worry about my IQ in financial decisions I use many  different sources. it is the only way to triangulate the truth.

It's difficult to respect a military whose strategy in WWII was to throw undertrained and ill-equipped conscripts into battle. By official Soviet estimates, 8.7 million soldiers killed. And they were defending Mother Russia.

 

It becomes even more difficult to have respect when the same strategy is used invading another country, by command of a murderer, poisoner, and thief.

This decision needs to be left to the people of Ukraine.   They don't want to live under the thumb of Putin.

I thought Putin started the war to denazify Uakine.   Or to save the people of Donbas.   Or his ever changing narrative.

Ted I agree - 100%

Please research the history - the USA caused the overthrow of the elected president and interfered, as they do all over our world. Ask yourself, "Why didn't the USA allow Ukraine to pick who they wanted?" before jumping in with "It's Ukraine's decision" when you mean "It's America's decision".

I did say 79% of rest of world trade was in USD, which leaves plenty of room for your 18%

 It goes back a very long way. Professor Sachs and Professor Mearsheimer have lots of videos annent this. It all started with USA meddling - as do many confilicts.

No need for you to respect a military which seemed doomed to losing but which contained and ultimately repelled a more experienced and stronger force by giving everything their country had to offer.

 

But maybe, just maybe, you have the gray matter to realize if not for Russia throwing their population into the meat grinder, their is very little hope that the Allies would have saved Europe from fascism.

Accurate - they all have, but not like, the USA, which has 800 military bases.

Russia has  21

Sound balanced?

 The USA is the aggressor all over the world, constantly interfering in our countries, particularly in Ukraine. I'm surprised you don't research at least a tad. Still, that's Tommy Robinson supporters for you  

I think most in the the US wish they didn't always have to fix other countries issues. It's blatantly obvious that the USA attempts have failed miserably in most instances since WWII.  Have a feeling Ukraine will be another failure. 

 

Russia isn't the power they once were but why keep poking at  a diminished power that has anger issues.  Europe's GDP is comparable to the USA.  Why can't Europe deal with Russia being it borders Europe?

Can only imagine the terror that the world would experience if Russia had 800.  Terrifying!!!!

[Jingthing]

The context is important.

Trump lies constantly.

The context is that Trump wants to surrender to his idol Putin and he has no issue with Ukraine become a slave state of Russ.

You seem to know so much about the Russians. Are you one? And if so why are you not in Russia? Or are you one of those trolls paid by Russia to influence social media? I really do wonder because you posts reveal an in dept understanding of the worlds affairs as seen by the Russian propaganda machine.

Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Uganda, Niger, Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Kosovo, Haiti, Bosnia, Panama, Grenada, Lebanon, Gaza, Cambodia, Korea, Dominican Rep, Lao and now Ukraine - Next?  Taiwan maybe?  Lebanon again?

As the US wants to rule our world, they must have nothing to do at home, right? No fentanyl problems, homeless problems, no border issues, no mafia, no crime, no racial issues and a free and excellent hospital service. What could go wrong?
