CrimeRe: Deborah Samuel: Killers Must Face Justice - Gani Adams by CrownedPhoenix:
Good one Aare.

It is now easy for anybody who doesn't like you in the North to suddenly raise alarm that you insulted a prophet, and within seconds you are stoned to death and burnt without a chance to say a word. Worse, the killers jubilate and celebrate murder. This precedence must not be allowed else it becomes norm.

And then shamelessly, those who should defend the defenceless start to speak from both sides of their mouth.

Foreign AffairsRe: NATO To Deploy Permanent Military Force On Its Border With Russia by CrownedPhoenix:
Yes, deploy your military to the borders with Russia. After all, that's what Putin did before he invaded Ukraine. He deployed thousands of troops at the border with Ukraine.

Russia can't win this. Not in an all out. Not technically, economically or any how else. Their loss will be more evident in the long term.

Russia may seem to be surviving, the unnecessary hardship the country is suffering under sanctions is just as avoidable as the war itself.

NATO nations will keep poking Russia until Putin's ego will push him into disaster.
A single shot at a NATO nation, Putin will receive bombardments from all angles

Foreign AffairsRe: Blinken Says NATO Countries Have "Green Light" To Send Fighter Jets To Ukraine by CrownedPhoenix:
A305:
First off, Hitler was actually successful but made 3 mistakes which are:
1- After conquering and taking Austria,Poland and France, he wanted to conquer the entire Europe. That was a mistake. He would have called truce after taking neighbouring countries only.

2 - Hitler was fighting from many fronts — West, East.

3 - He turned on his ally Russia (Stalin)

If Hitler hadn't made these 3 mistakes, Germany would have been a world power country today (similar to today's U.S) and Hitler a hero.


Lastly, it was Japan bombing if port harbor that brought US to the war NOT Hitler's offensive. And where did the US dropped the Atomic bomb — Japan.
While your points 1, 2 & 3 supports what I said earlier, I believe you made a mistake including Austria in the list of countries Hitler occupied. Austria-Hungary was a co-founding member of the Central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and later, Italy and Japan - Axis powers)
1. After taking Crimea, Putin took control of Lugansk and Donetsk by backing rebels. Now he's going ahead to conquer the whole Ukraine.
2. Putin might end up fighting this war on many fronts.
3. The two allies, China and Russia might actually turn on each other.

Your last point about Pearl Harbour: While the bombing of Pearl Harbour was the remote and immediate cause that pushed the trigger for the Americans, the trigger was long coming with Germany's bombing of civilian target population/structures in Great Britain for months prior, operation The Blitz.
The debate to join was already ongoing in the parliament, and was progressively being debated to join as seen in America's foreign relations with GB change from sales of arms to 'lend'.

Also, Japan being an inner member of the Axis, would have Berlin seconded the bombing of American territory which was obviously a miscalculation. This supports the reason I said Hitler miscalculated. Or simply wanted to lure the USA into the war for whatever reasons.

Again, Putin and China can turn on each other if Russia takes steps that hurt China's trade. Hitler turned on Stalin. Even though theirs was a complicated relationship, such complications can happen between Russia and the neutral China, who has refused to categorically be open about his support.

There are permutations and miscalculations in wars as events unfold. Friends turn enemies and enemies turn friends as with the Britain-US-Russia relationship of WW I, and the later realignment of Germany-Russia of WW II.
Foreign AffairsRe: Blinken Says NATO Countries Have "Green Light" To Send Fighter Jets To Ukraine by CrownedPhoenix:
Russia is Russia. Ukraine is Ukraine.

Putin cannot just invade Ukraine unprovoked and order them to do as he says.

Hitler had, more or less, defeated the world at some point. But Hitler made a fatal error in calculation which saw America enter the war.

If Russia at some point makes similar error in calculation, other nations will actively enter this war which will snowball into world war thr..


If this happens, just like Hitler, Russia will lose terribly.

Deluded analysts trying to blackmail the world into silence.

America committed atrocities, Russia never said a thing.

So because of that, Russia should invade the territorial integrity of a sovereign nation & the world must keep quiet. What a blackmail.

Ukrainians should defend their right to freedom of association. Defend your homeland from invaders. Posterity will remember you

Not just relinquishing the club, we want to know where he stands. For or against justice?
Foreign AffairsRe: James Cleverly Tells Russian Generals To Stage A Coup Against Putin by CrownedPhoenix:
shocked huh

But doing so is against the ideals of democracy .

The headline might be misleading though because I don't see anywhere he expressly stated that. Calling on military leaders to step in doesn't necessarily mean calling on them to stage a coupé

Russia needs to leave Ukrainians alone to their sovereignty. Pull out of Ukraine, return to Russia and enjoy your sanctions in peace
Foreign AffairsRe: Ongoing Protest Around The World To Cut Russia Off SWIFT: by CrownedPhoenix:
Russia should be stopped.

People need to understand that Putin caused the once neutral Ukraine become resolute in having NATO's backing.
By annexing Crimea, Russia made the Ukrainians realized how porous they were. This their new quest goes beyond the Ukrainian President. It is now the wish of majority of the Ukrainians.

In 2008, Ukraine began the process to join. Why didn't NATO grant it? Majority of Ukrainians were generally not keen on NATO, making the process slow. The next president decided Ukraine should remain a neutral state.

So what changed? -The annexation of Crimea.

The annexation of Crimea in 2014 opened their eyes to how insecure they are around the big bully. They now tilted from a neutral nation to about 70% of the Ukrainians wanting decisively to joining NATO.
This is evidenced in the way civilian population of Ukraine are willingly bearing arms to defend their land.

Any takeaways?
Apart from the majority of Ukrainians now resolute in wanting to join, other smaller neighboring countries are watching Russia and will definitely revisit their interests in joing NATO, or at least tilt from being neutral.

Violating a country's territorial integrity based on 'Areas of Influence' is not longer admissible in international relations.

What Russia should have done was to take the fight to America by also seeking to re-establish military bases next door to America. That way, they are better poised to force America to tune down the eastward expansion of NATO.

But no, with all the Chess Grandmasters in Russia, dem no fit think. Na only gra-gra dey Putin head.

Unfortunately, his gra-gra has not deterred the Ukrainians. Instead the invasion is making them more patriotic than they had ever been.
