Foreign Affairs › Former US President Gets Ukraine War And Iraq War Mixed Up. by Dre555(op): 8:57am On May 19, 2022 |
Brutal invasion of Iraq... I mean Ukraine' - Former US president gets two wars mixed up during speech Former US president George Bush has mistakenly described the invasion of Iraq as "brutal" and "unjustified" before correcting himself to say he meant to refer to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking at an event in Dallas, Texas, Mr Bush made the comments while he was criticising Russia's political system.
"The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq," he said, before correcting himself and shaking his head.
He jokingly blamed the mistake on his age.
In 2003, when Mr Bush was president, the United States led an invasion of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that were never found, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. |

Foreign Affairs › Russia Says It Will Cut Off Gas Supply To Europe by Dre555(op): 8:59pm On Mar 28, 2022 |
Russia says it will cut off gas supply to Europe after G7 vow The Group of Seven major economies has agreed to reject a Moscow demand for gas to be bought only in Russian currency.
Russia's Vladimir Putin made the demand last week of "unfriendly" countries - presumably those that have imposed sanctions.
He instructed the country's central bank to work out a procedure for buyers to acquire rubles in Russia, in a move apparently designed to support the currency - which has collapsed against other currencies.
Germany's energy minister has said meeting the demand would be a "one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts".
He added that "payment in rouble is not acceptable and we will urge the companies affected not to follow [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's demand".
In retaliation, a Russian politician said the G7's refusal will definitely lead to a halt in supplies, according to Ria news agency.
Many European countries rely on Russian gas, although the UK has already banned imports. |

ChangetheChange: If Russia missile kill those 3 presidents,boom war don start for Europe be dat, all man to his tent. Even Chima will disown Russia over such act.
That is what NATO wants, so the world war 3 starts. Putin and a financially crippled and poorly trained Russia Army would avoid such escalation cos do they don't intend to go to war against a military alliance of 30 different countries (NATO including United States) at the same time that has more than 20,000 war planes and over 3 million active military personnel far far more than Russian military That will be sucide on the path of Putin and Russia Russia a single country have more nuclear weapon than NATO a 30 nation combo |
