Current Affairs Ukraine

Missed that mate. What was he asked? China has literally trillions of dollars hold over the US.

the question was something like whether the US had spoken to China about whether they'd support Russia ... to which he said he couldn't answer that at this time, which sounded a bit weird as I think everyone assumed they'd be who he (edit: Putin) would be selling his gas to

I’ve challenged Putin to a fight. I’ll keep you all updated on his response.

Still no response from Putin. He’s absolutely bottled it.

I don't want to blame Trump only because a lot has been happening for a long time but he certainly didn't help

He publicly said he did not want American troops fighting other wars, was down on nato and sucked China and Russia off. If they (America) want to play world police, then they have to stay on duty. Trumps wimpy overseas policies just emboldened both communist powers. Now he’s criticising Biden for his handling of the situation

What platform did you use? He’s off Snapchat these days

I agree, he was bad, but other things have happened that matter even going back to Obama

Good to see but will just have the same effect on Putin as the marches here and in America had on Blair and Bush when they were sending tanks into Iraq and bombing the bejasus out of Baghdad.

My concern is that in spite of political changes, China remains an ally of Russia. This is why NATO is hopeless in terms of getting involved.

Any military action would bring disaster.

I really feel for Ukraine, but who is next? The Baltic States, Poland, the former Eastern Bloc countries?

I like how it says "including RT".

Because RT is definitely not a propaganda channel of any sort.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Is that a “yes”?

It's a stop focussing on the past, we need action now.

Wake up, you're like sleepy Joe!!

Good

Why good? Are we not able to digest their take on the situation? Or we just blindly accept our own propaganda? Because somewhere between the two lies the reality.
These are much different times than past conflicts.

I see the "We're all gonna die" brigade have logged on early tonight.

The great thing about nuclear weapons is the mutually assured destruction. You'd have to be suicidal or completely indifferent to the fate of your people to launch a nuke at anybody, anywhere.

There won't be nuclear war. The cost of doing it is too high. It's not like it's a strategic attack, millions die when someone pushes that button. It would take a desperate leader with no other option to commit millions , both in and out of their country to death.

It's a great deterrent , nobody ever would want to tempt a country either.

I suppose none of ours are?
Trigger words today? Europe. Europe. Europe.
You need to understand what propaganda is and how it works before thinking it as one sided.

Who controls the nukes in Ukraine?
