Someone please explain this to me

The UN have drafted a security council resolution in light of Russian actions. The vote is due soon.

The vote will not pass as Russia themselves have veto on the vote. People are looking to see where the likes of China vote in the matter.

I must be missing something here because to me it sounds like either they are doing something that will never pass so therefore do nothing. Or the UN has turned into some crappy reality game show just to see if China still fancies Russia or have they moved onto another love interest.

Putin has actually described us as bullies many times - not that I agree, but it’s what he believes.

It’s not about who is right and who is wrong.

It's what he says

It's what he says

In his head, we are the aggressors

In his head, we are the aggressors

Or he knows he's full of it too.

Wasn’t that in the Michael Broderick film War Games ?

Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?

Presumably its just for show, I dont think ICBM'S actually need shifting a few miles up the road, they can travel 5,000km

Especially as they have a fair percentage of their ICBMs in silos alongside SLBMs at sea.

When was the last time for each?

This is a really terrible argument.

Give over. Currently 750 usa basis in 80 countries. Inavded countries multiple countries relatively recently. On lies. And when lies exposed and literally became public informatiom stayed in the countries for years and years. Killing civilians on the daily for the past 20+ years.

Drone strikes every day. 90% civilians death rate.

Putin is just saying "I don't like nato. Dont like them so close to me. I am afraid Ukraine Will join nato and so I am taking Ukraine." Its prity transparent if nothing else. . I dont like war. I would rather this not to be happening.

I dont like any capitalistic government like russias. I very much hate my own more than anything.

But the USA is the absolute worst. And must be stopped.

I don’t think he does actually

Do a google search on the outcomes of a thermonuclear war mate

We are dealing with a quite clearly insane opponent

It's something that may stop him from pushing the button. One thing going to war with NATO, another launching a nuclear strike knowing that the other side will immediately lay waste to Moscow and other Russian cities. You'd have to think about that very carefully.

If Russia have 190,000 troops there, why do they need another 200 from Syria?

 

[BlueToff]

They dont have that right.

But in situations like this, compromises have to be found.

Understand that... But it's cowering to the bully isn't it. And I don't really see the comparisons others are making to Mexico etc because NATO isn't just about America. Russia had the chance to join it and declined. There are also four countries that share borders or very close proximity to Russia that are already in NATO.
