He is probably referencing the fact that Japan has said they will downgrade covid-19 to flu status, which means masks aren't encouraged as much any more and businesses don't have to require them.

Also the whole "everyone wears a mask in Japan" was kind of blown out of proportion. Before Covid some people wore masks due to flu season or allergies, but it was probably like 1% or less of the population.

After Georgia, the stunt they pulled 2014, pretty open plans they had to take Moldova after their expected glorious win in Ukraine and near constand invoking of a great Russian Empire that includes a lot of countrys that simply dont want to be part of that shit show its clear they wont stopp If they dont fail hard in Ukraine now.

The only one that is constantly treathening with nukes is Moscow. And its ist very VERY important for the future safety of all to make clear nuklear weapons are not a Cheat to do win even If the only thing you can do otherwise is to throw bodys and rusty equipment. Every wannabe despot will get ideas.

The West is helping a Independent country defend itself from a agressor that does crimes again at humanity left and right.

The only reason it is sometimes seen as more safe if russia collapses into different countrys ist their constant propaganda about war with the west, "liberating" or bombing capital citys of Nato countrys and so one.

If you try to brainwash your people to see us as enemy dont be suprised If we lose patience and start to see you as a problem.

I'm no fan of Scott Morrison (ScoMo), but the sub issue really wasn't his fault.

Australia had signaled they were exploring alternative sub options in public forums one year piror to the actual cancellation due to contract underperformance. The decision to accept the nuclear subs deal was also supported by both major Australian political parties so it was hardly a captains call.

Macron made a huge deal out of Australia terminating the contract because the French industrial complex is state owned, and consequently it had political ramifications domestically. In the defense industry it was widely viewed as an over-the-top emotional reaction, and highlighted why doing arms deals with state-owned companies is a bad idea.

What are you even talking about? Russia is maybe the most self - sufficient country today and that won't change any time soon.

It's a country that 60% of the population has no problem living in 19th century.

Saying that Russia has collapsed is a western way of coping. Russia maybe won't have the tech and the joys of modern 2023 but they will still pump weapons and oil all across the world that will keep them floating.

Azerbaijan and armenia had an agreement that azerbaijan would let armenia have access if they could have access to turkey. Armenia never gave them that direct route because russia doesnt want the natural gas to have a direct route to the west through turkey. Now they are blockading supplies to armenians that are wrongfully occuping a mountain in recognized azerbaijan territory. The armenians should leave the mountain and go live in armenia or they should make good on the deal to give access to turkey

I think there is more to it than just anti-Israel.

any event, or any issue, is regularly hijacked by the Palestinians and their supporters.

They are like a petulant little child that wants attention.

> (Ukraine wants to bomb Moscow and has advocated for a Nuclear strike on Moscow).

would that be the same ukraine that gave up nukes for regional security. The same one that gave up nukes so that countries including RUSSIA would guarantee its security?

where do you get your ideas from on why Russia would finally use nukes..All 'the wests' fault right comrade?
