Current Affairs Ukraine

[Tree13]

BBC world service is running a report from on board a NATO surveillance aircraft forty miles west of Ukraine in Polish airspace. It's a recorded piece, but they have interviews with aircrew during the piece. Bonkers.

If you have a free hour, this is a very interesting watch on the invasion so far, the botched strategy, intelligence and what might/should happen next:

It is one thing to think it, quite another to provide a tv clip that can be played ad nauseum on Russian tv to support Putin.

Yeah, pretty dumb stuff.

I hope an off ramp can be found

I hope a gallow's can be found.

Awful

Yes. Unless every nato leader denounce the organisation they are apart of. Usa and subsequently nato break international law everyday for decades. War crimes. They technically need to be stopped under international law.

But they have a tyrannical grip on the world predominantly the west. The people need to take action. Its our duty as civilians of these countries to overthrow the tyranny.

It will help then to denounced nato and usa and call for them to be tried for war crimes and subsequent governments toppled and nato abolished. Then I would not have issue with thier concern for the Ukrainian people.

If you call for the overthrow of these governments that perpetuate this nato alliance and call to punish all governments through the decades withholding to it...

Then I'm behind you if you are concerned about Ukraine too.

Cause so am I.

Is it just NATO governments that you are after or all governments?

And is your crusade about human rights protections? If so there is lots of data about countries with the worst records and behaviours of human rights abuse.

The below from human rights watch shows '4' being best '-4' the worst offenders.


Or if we just want to highlight the findings worst offenders of human rights abuse as identified by HRW the below shows who the worst offenders are.




And compare NATO member states to the worst human rights offenders you can spot the gap.



I understand that for some outside of the alliance it must be a huge source of frustration, such as Putin and Xi but I am not sure that on a global scale NATO are the bad guys.

Are from the Republic of Ireland?

 

[verreauxi]

Very true but I bet it’s not far from what many are thinking.

Certainly so. Putin needs a dispatching. But you should not say this out loud as a US politician.

And the lies and propaganda (on a demostic level) them governments sell to subdue its people with that comfort. All the while corporate interest big money manipulates.

Putin would love to invade Poland and the Baltic states. He may well try but the one thing that will stop him is the NATO alliance. You won't see Poland or the Baltic states asking to leave NATO at anytime soon. You will see more states clambering to join the protection of the alliance because of Putin/Russia's aggression.

CSIS has been doing very good work for a very long time.

 

[Martin Alvito]

They'll have to be careful about that, as they don't want to kill off things like EHR services. At the same time, everyone is running scared of falling afoul of sanctions right now.
