Hey you, what you gonna do?

It's better to have hope in your sole than the other way around.

Russia is literally bribing these govt officials to conscript their prison population to use as cannon fodder in Ukraine lol.

Oddly Musharraf was the best ally the US had, he actually went after extremist groups hard which is why he was a target of so many assassination attempts.

South Africa is not listening. Some SA politician was JUST in the news for agreeing with Russia about a new world order without the west.

South African politicians are naive, unfortunately. Its sad to see a country that's struggled so much with exploitation cuddle up to a sociopathic regime, but what can you do? The narrative of blaming the west for your problems is just easy, and it's just way too common to ignore the good things the west does, so no one bats an eye at it.

Ukraine will go for as long as needed. If needed, if it came to it, the west will just put in foreign volunteers with next gen weapons. The whole thing is basically a trap which convinced russia to use up all its equipment and bleed itself white. When Russia was trying to rig our elections five years ago, no one could dream we could trick them into throwing a whole generation into a meat grinder with basically zero cost to the west.

There isnt.

But if we destory the person liveryhood of people doing this then other people would be discouraged to also do this.

People dont understand how devastating being sanctioned and blacklisted by the US federal govt really is. If there is a $1 of federal funding on the entire chain any sanctioned person is not allowed to participate. These people would be barred from interacting with ANY entity that deals with the federal govt.

Israel is hurting us, but they're so small they couldn't hurt us if they tried. But they better cut it out or I'll nuke everyone in self defence. I'm so strong I'm the strongest country in the world. Me? I never threatened to use nukes. It was you. Not me.

It’s great how Finland and Sweden are sticking together and everything but I’ll admit, Finland specifically joining NATO would be such a blow to Russia that I’d almost rather defer to Turkey on Sweden if it meant Finland would still join up.

Good when the war in Ukraine is finally ended and ruzzia paying for the reconstraction then Ukraine should ban Croatia from benifiting from any trade or work/service.

Momentum will be key. Korea has the chance to become a dominant player. They can do this by becoming more visible to European nations. Even with Germany's attitude, their gear is technologically advanced and is a dominant player rn. Potential must be realized, military gear purchases are more than just simple purchases. It aligns the partnering nation with the seller in more ways than one. Poland has decided to go along with Korea, but will others do the same? Showing commitment in the region is the way to further Korea's interests. Much like how the US conducts its business.

We're getting into ww3 territory here.

In reality, the US's existing partnership with Finland is all the protection they need during NATO accession. If Putin so much as blinks at the Finnish border, every Russian troop near it will be dead by the end of the week. Heck, the Finns will probably get it done by themselves.

Russia is in no position to talk

Because Russia will obviously take those public statements as is. Those statements are for general population.

No,they haven't picked sides. Because they are still giving Russians citizenships from left to right.

This guy knows what’s up. Israel and Saudi can also both deflect at each other . I Dunno who it could have been Supreme Leader. Who has reason to not like you ? 🤷‍♂️

I mean, go for it. Burn one of each and toss in a Hitchens book for good measure.

People don't realise that is war starts between Israel and Iran then Ukraine is fucked. Because Israel is more important than to the west than Ukraine.

One of the first things our country did after Confederation was allow CPR to to bypass the tariff we had against American steel so they could get cheaper materials for the construction of the railroad. Then that very government - lead by John A. MacDonald - became mired a few years later in a bribing scandal. MacDonald had to resign in disgrace. He came back later and got re-elected funnily enough.

So the cancer and rot at the heart of Canada began long before Trudeau the First or Lester Pearson. It started right at the top from beginning.
