Current Affairs Ukraine

I am doubtful of that, if outside powers make him impoverished for no sensible reason.

His entire support at home blames the west for everything so it stands to reason they’d blame them for that as well

It's a last ditch tactic of a crazy man.

Assuming that crazy man is Putin, why would he destroy Chernobyl and thus make Russia inhospitable for hundreds of thousands of years when he has thousands of tactical nuclear weapons that could destroy Ukraine without having the same impact?

Is it impossible? No. Is it fanciful? Yes, to put it lightly.

Takes me back to 1963 and the Cuban missile crisis. Dropped off to sleep that night truly believing I wasn't waking up.

You shouldn’t believe that

What should I believe then ?

I'd personally rather Turkey stopped committing human rights abuses in it's own country, and stopped arresting academics.

JUST IN:

Zelensky on IG;

Розмова з Олександром Лукашенком була дуже предметною. Я не хочу, щоб із Білорусі в Україну летіли ракети, літаки та гвинтокрили. Я не хочу, щоб в Україну з Білорусі йшли війська. І він мене запевнив у цьому.

The conversation with Alexander Lukashenko was very substantive. I do not want missiles, planes and helicopters flying from Belarus to Ukraine. I do not want troops to go to Ukraine from Belarus. And he assured me of that.

His facts are 100% correct 10% of the time … sometimes

So just bcs they are evil inside (and they are), they should not stand up to the bully? eh?

Long awaited, hope it's not too late

70% approval rating Domestically which has risen on the back of the invasion

Those are the numbers probably put out by the Kremlin. Even if true, once the Russians begin to feel the full economy effects of this war and how it affects their lives then tgat approval ratings surely will plummet.

Can’t you wish for both?

I don't have crystal ball and this is anonymous forum, but there are a people from a lot of countries around the world who got bombed to oblivion by Western bombs and drone strikes and who see massive hypocrisy in all of this.

America and European countries mocking Russia while themselves being guilty of war crimes and bombing civilians not so long ago in Afghanistan and Iraq

Wow you're right, America does do awful things. This really puts Kev's enthusiastic jerking off over Russian brutality in a balanced new light

Maybe not as they probably view the punishment as western generated

I'd rather they sorted out human rights abuses yes. There is no freedom of dissent allowed. Erdogan is an absolute disgrace and a bully. Let's not be making him out to be a decent, well intentioned person.
