Interesting exchange from an interview with Fiona Hill:
Oh, and Fiona Hill is not some MAGA-right Putin-worshipper or a lefty activist type: she’s a career national security professional, about as Establishment as they come.
Interview also contains some frightening insights into how likely Putin might be to literally go nuclear.
Saw a picture of a farmer stealing a Russian tank with his tractor. read reports that Russian soldiers that surrendered weren't told they were invading they thought it was just drills.

It's a fabrication.
Nothing the media has said makes sense about this, which isn't surprising.
Yeah l kinda wondered about that Tees and Atom Ant it's just l've been pouring over several news feeds on the internet.
NDTV is India based they seem almost leaning towards the Russians although there news storys are factual it appears. There's always a comment at the end of the news stories in the comments section that are anti American.
It's quite the time right now to get world views through varying countries news sources, l've been doing some deep dive lately through various news sources on line.

Yeah on that India point, they have officially remained neutral at the UN. No surprise really since they have deep historical political ties with Russia (signed a treaty of friendship with the USSR back in 1971) and also historically have not had good relationship with the US. This was especially notable during the cold war as the US chose to side with Pakistan in their conflicts. Today their relations are good though.
Some of those comments you're referring to probably surround the American hypocrisy and lack of consistency I've brought up before, with regards to one invasion and the consequences versus countless others and the complete lack of consequences.

Interesting Tman, not sure if anyone's checked out any live streams from Ukraine there's a couple with decent chats moderated pretty good. Man they have balls for streaming under those conditions.
Can one you political experts explain the UAE position by what l read. Something to do with the last president to visit was George W Bush l'm assuming they feel abandoned.
But also some deal that the U.S. back out of l think it was providing military equipment. Was wondering why quite afew middle eastern country's have been quiet, Isreal l understand they have relations with the U.S. and Russia
Theatdome, Kells? I'm not a political junky but l'm sure catching up on different countries positions.
Kells, Tmart, what do you make of Poutines comments today? about no more sanctions, has no illintent. say's open to dialogue, still same posture as long as Russian demands are met.
Maybe realizing he's destroying his country and people.
Poutines new law jail time up to 15 years for reporting fske news. wow is he putting his citizens into back into the dark ages again,
they'll never know the real truth anymore.
Beginning to think this 40 mile convoy is more of a supply chain.
If l took long to get from Abby to Chilliwack the wife would start to get suspicious. although bridges have been taken out to slow the advance this convoy you would think are sitting ducks to be taken out especially if their bogged down.
Unlike the Gulf war when we were strapped with CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS or Canadian networks, l've been focusing on media from other countries for a different take.

So IMO Ruskies are demanding Ukraine stay neutral, not to enter NATO, recognize Crimea and the 2 eastern areas of Donestk and Luhansk, l say do it.
Easy for us to say...but for them that just sets the table to get crushed again. Their only option now is to defeat Russia and join Nato to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Whether that happens without Russia destroying the human race is becoming increasingly unlikely IMO
