WriteerNg: ⚡During a previously-not-made-public tense meeting earlier this week in Moscow, with the goal of deescalating tensions between Russia and NATO; British, French and German envoys told Russian officials that NATO is prepared to respond to further violations of its airspace with lethal force, according to sources with knowledge of the talks who spoke with Bloomberg.
During the talks, a Russian diplomat told the Europeans that the incursions were a response to Ukrainian strikes on Crimea, with the Kremlin stating those operations would not have been possible without NATO support and, as a result, Russia considers that it is already engaged in a confrontation involving Europe.

amadivvv: . At least the U.S. lasted 20 years. The Soviets(which includes the Russians) spent 10 years, lost more than 15,000 soldiers, wasted billions, and still got chased out by the same Taliban. Talk about speedrunning failure. Shameless. The Soviet fought the Mujahideen, not the Taliban. The former is the embodiment of Afghan resistance consisting of numerous tribal guerrilla groups. The latter is a religious fundamentalist group that broke out into popularity after a fallout with other groups that made up the former. Get your facts right. The so-called world superpower could not defeat one breakout group of the Mujahideen despite all the allies that fought alongside her and the trillions of dollars spent for 20 years. Simple facts: the Soviet withdrawal was orderly. The last Soviet soldier left Afghanistan on February 15, 1989. The pro-Soviet Afghan government of Mohammad Najibullah held on to power until April 16, 1992. A massive three years after. It even outlast the USSR. It collapsed only after the pro-Western Yeltsin government recognized the Najibullah regime as extremist and imposed heavy sanctions on it, including a ban on the supply of weapons, fuel and even medicines. in sharp contrast, the US withdrawal was chaotic. About 10 US soldiers were killed the very day the US was running out of the country like a rat chased by a cat. The pro-American puppet government crumbled that same day. It didn't even last half a day. The pro-US president escapes before the last Americans left Kabul in a helicopter full of money. US soldiers at the airport shot at their Afghan collaborators who were trying to board the plane and escape the rampaging Taliban. People cling to the landing gear of American transport planes taking off and fall to the ground. And you have the audacity to compare?  If comparisons are a basis, the events of Kabul 2021 should make Saigon 1975 an 'orderly' withdrawal.  |

dermmy: While the recognition is welcomed by everyone who stand on the side of humanity the question is will Israel listen and stop the genocide and displacement? Israel thinks it can do whatever it wants as long as she has US backing, for Netanyahu it is US backing that matters. If all these states recognising can begin opening consulate in Palestine let's see if Netanyahu will order its air forces to bomb those consulates.
Aside this recognition we need action to back it up. Action is what the world wants to see next. Exactly. |

LordAdam16: Russia already recognizes Palestine.
Russia, China, and the Axis are waiting for a global consensus to take action against Israel. Embargoes, sanctions, boycotts... That said, many are criticizing China especially for not unilaterally leading a charge to severely curtail if not cease economic links with Israel. I sympathize with this viewpoint, but it is sort of a weird ask when the buff**ns in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE are still trading with Israel.
When you think about it, it is completely bonkers that the EU will introduce sanctions against Israel before the Arabs in the Gulf. -Lord I predict. Once that global consensus is received, the rest of the world led by the axis will act unilaterally over Gaza. After all, four out of the five UNPSC members have now recognized Palestine as a state. They can influence others to take actions. They have the numbers now, with 157 states recognitions. The only thing lacking is, like you said, s global consensus to take action against the Yahooboy in Tel Aviv. Methinks this action would start from Europe in the form of a boycott. The pressure is already mounting to suspend Israel from anything European and world based sporting events. Na from clap dem take dey enter dance. Netanyahoo is doing Israel a great job of securing global hatred. |

Hence, a conventional war with the likes of China and Russia bar nukes and direct allied support is certified suicide. |

-Lord Na fool go call those recognitions useless. When states, especially those of renown geopolitical and global standings recognizes another group as a state, that newly recognized state starts getting the "state actor" treatment. This means diplomatic dealings. Bilateral dealings. Economic support and political support. This will eventually end up weakening Israel's level of support in geopolitical groupings and the global community setup. This is why the US was trying very hard to dissuade these recognitions. |
