1ºVladyslav Kurylko EXACTLY!
That was always their method. They have always been working hard on creating an ILLUSION of being a global superpower rather than doing anything to be that superpower (the latter obviously being much more difficult to achieve).
Ukrainian heroes defended Kyiv and brought such destruction on Putin's war criminal army that they ran away and gave up, focusing on the east instead.
Now it seems Putin and his cronies still focus on creating an illusion of being strong when they are weak, of winning when they are losing, of pretending that sanctions don't work when they really DO work (laughable when you hear Lavrov ask for negotiations but the main condition is the removal of sanctions!), of not being affected by Ukrainian forces using modern technology against them when they have in fact suffered their greatest losses since WW2.
2ºUschi Sreaves it "well known" by whom actually? Reason why some Africans seem to be supportive of Russia is because we are tired of the American double standards of which most of you seem to be downplaying. What Russia is doing is even better than what America has done the world over. The invasion of Iraq (a sovereign country) accused of possessing WMD is something you guys still can't talk about honestly. Iraq was bombed to rubbles and no one is speaking about. It's a well known fact that the US is power hungry and have made themselves to be world police even when they can't even get their domestic issues on democracy in order.
3ºMassi Nait oh, you are so worried about The U.S. ! No, comrade we are protecting ourselves from a deranged terrorrusia! Putin is done. The world decided that they want Ukraine to win!
“The world will do everything possible to ensure that Russian President Vladimir Putin loses his war in Ukraine, including keeping Moscow under sanctions for years” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said late on Sunday.
Putin is losing, and he knows it.
The Russia that will emerge from this war will be weaker and poorer than the Russia that opened fire on Ukrainian innocents, on brother and sister Slavs.
And you are a punk!
4ºWalter Matt Patana you are right I will get over it, because I am moving off the grid in a few weeks. Putin's evil is worldwide, and in America already. He has supporters here, you can read about them on FB, they are not shy. Sociopaths always want more, no matter how much they have and they don't care who they step on to get what they want. I guarantee Putin IS NOT losing any sleep regarding the many children his army has killed, the families he has chattered. In the humane world, sociopaths are the Apex predators, but we are fortunate that once we make up our minds, they can be easily remedied, permanently....
5ºIt's not about weakening Russia...it's about enriching the industrial military complex. Ukraine is the both distraction and making big killings (pardon the pun) in military weapons sales. Zelenskyy knows this...he's not a victim of Russian aggression...he's the protagonist (pardon the pun again) in the this play of public deception. He too, is benefiting tremendously!. Both Russia & the US is playing us for profit. Make no mistake, the war is real and lots of people are and have perished..Russia & China lost big on the pandemic profits generated by vaccines...American & European Big Pharma scored big. It's Russia's turn with oil & gas. The US respone: to weaponize the dollar, Euro and every international institution that is suppose to promote peace and economic prosperity for all nations. But they played their hand to aggressively against a much prudent opponent- the likes of Putin. Poking the Russian and Panda bears my have been a risk that Biden did not quite think through thoroughly...but he is expendable as the profitable sponsors of election campaigns will redirect funds to their next presidential henchman.
6ºDeogracious Okello first of all watch your language there is no reason to attack I did not attack you and if you do it again you will be reported. I have a different opinion than you and that’s just normal Mr. Okello if that’s your name. And one more thing how much humanitarian aid does your country/ Kenia get from the US??? I guess the money is ok, right?? Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. 560 million in 2020 plus 98 million in 2021 I guess the money is good and one more thing Finland is going to join NATO oh how bad they are, right? How can they do that to the Russian dictator???
7ºPerson can learn from mistakes, but you never.
No one can stop putin because he defends his land and 90% of his people are with him.
Experience has shown that so far you have not been able to produced the required oil for your own country, so you can not get an alternative to the oil and gas needed by European countries.
You can compare the oil and other life required essential prices in your land and other parts of the world since Russians invasion to Ukraine.
Your politics are failure not only in Ukraine but in Syria and Afghanistan.
If I'm America' s citizen believe me I dismiss you because time to sleep for you.
8ºBiden talking about free wifi FOR SOME, what about jobs, food, gas, rent, medication, health insurance, clothes etc etc etc. Biden and his team are rich! They have no idea how we are struggling because they have no struggles. They can afford anything they want while we are pinching pennies and going without. He has not idea how real people live AT ALL. His policies have taken the food right off our tables causing families to suffer more than they ever have. Let him try to live on just Social Security or $15.00 a hour. He cares more about Climate Control, Solar Energy , Electric Cars that most of us will never be able to afford, and illegals than he does any of us. He and those elected democrats all have money, remember that. Everything he touches and those telling him what to do turns to crap. Now is a time to stop all the illegals flooding in with babies to stop, we do not even have formula for our own. Taking the formula away from our legal babies !!!!!!!!
9ºМакамбі Езекіел yes
same happened by US in syria and iraq
what is the difference ?
the difference is when nato attack a country no one talks
ur country was a part of the invasion if iraq , an sovereign country accused by WMD and destroyed to rubles and till now no one want to rebuild it
but when its about russia everyone go crazy , i'm no legitimizing russia , but i hate western hypocrisy
because its about political interests , ur country have a strategic value for both sides , the war will stay for long long time ...
10ºМакамбі Езекіел yes
what is an interior matter stay an interior matter , any intervene from outside will make it worse , this is the policy of my country since the independence
libya as example
lets imagine " and by looking to ur name " i assume u are ukrani ,
lets imagine russia and USA get involved in the war of Donbass since 2015
would it become worse and ur country gonna be divided to east and west ukraine ?
UN should take care of these things thats why its made
ignoring what happened in ukraine since 2014 by the so called big nations led to this
