Foreign AffairsRe: Japan Criticize Russian Withdrawal From WW2 Peace Treaty Talks Over Sanctions by Invitationn: 10:28am On Mar 22, 2022
Flets:
How many fronts can Russia really hold out on?
A lot of miscalculation so far by Russia considering they significantly looted their military budget in recent years.

What is the end game for Russia and how does he intend to achieve it cos it seems the average Russian will suffer a big deal in few months time.
Let's monitor events as they come.

In WW2, after the Soviet union declared the war on Japan and Launched Attacks against them that forced them to surrender, they got the Kuril Island as spoils of war grin
Now Russia, out of generosity, allowed Japanese to continue visiting the island and even living there without visa. They even told the Japanese govt that they will give them back the island once a peace treaty has been reached.
Meanwhile, Japan were slapping consecutive rounds of sanctions on Russia, back to back to back. Russia don abandon the peace treaty now, meaning there no hope of getting the island back again and Russia has stopped the free visa to Japanese elements who want to visit the island.
Imagine the audacity grin
You're sanctioning them back to back, with future sanctions cooking on the cooker.
Yet you want them to keep peace talks opened because you're Japan grin
Baba say it's 'unacceptable'. What's unacceptable about it?

Who labelled them terrorists?

I guess slave chains are still hanging around your neck and you can't see past whatever your slave masters says.

In Ukraine they're called "resistance" but in Afghanistan and Iraq they call them terrorists.

Wake up dude
What's so hard to understand in the Western double standard?
People forget that, it only takes the US government to wake up one day and tag you a terrorist to be one.

The article says 80... headline inflated to 200. In the first place, RT was not on ground, since it was missiles ,RT did not qoute any official figure from Ukraine Officials, who counted 200 ...when the same article said they are many under the rubbles.

None for now!
However
1. The hatred for USA will be a great catalyst. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
2. Opportunity to band together against Israel in spite of the peace treaty with most of Israel's neighbors. Iran just has to lead the pack.

Do you think the Al-Mahdi will come without the decimation of Israel?
Let's be objective. I'm impressed with your 'None for now'.
Who are the enemies of the US in the Arab world?
Definitely not the Saudis, not UAE, not Egypt, not Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, not Kuwait not Qatar. Not even Iraq(They have a puppet there). Not Yemen not Oman or Bahrain.
Countries mentioned above are already around 80% of the Arab nations you talk about that'll potentially side with the Russians.

You're probably referring to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. None of them are Arabs.
I stand to be corrected.

These ones are pretty much concerned with their stomach, and obviously not a genuine quest for neutrality.

You expect the world to sit and watch Ukraine defend itself against “mad man” Putin, with one hand tied to its dick.

Ukraine is a sovereign state, and the supplies are necessary evil.

To those that did not read the full article, what it summarily says is that the US is no longer imposing itself on other countries. Unlike before when they were neo colonialists, now they are seeing other developed countries as much needed and equal allies. This a good thing moving forward for the rest of the world especially for we Africans, giving the current political climate, it seems that the US has learnt to be humble.
They're only humble because it's Russia; facto!

I don't blame Ukraine one bit even though they are just pawns between both Russia and NATO!

If only Russia had played the part of a big brother to Ukraine all these would have not happened. Russia's foreign policy towards Ukraine drove them into the waiting arms of NATO.

Economically, Russia will loose big time for a long time. Unfortunately, this conflict has unfortunately planted the seed for WW3. The Arabs, China, Russia, Iran and North Korea on one side with NATO countries, Japan, Israel, South Korea and Taiwan on the other side. India will do everything to keep out of the conflict!
What do you mean by 'The Arabs'?
Mention the Arab nations behind Russia.

Yes. I’m saying they pulled out of a town of 56000 people. You think the civilians there will be eaten alive by the DNR folks? Civilians that are largely Russian speaking? A town that the DNR has long claimed was part of their separatist enclave?
Is everything alright with you ?
Listen to yourself!
Just spill already; they ran! grin
All these majority 'Russian speaking' excuses don't carry any water.
The Ukrainians still believe and claim the territories are theirs, they won't just 'pull out'. They ran like cowards!
If they did pulled out like you claimed, it exposes a mind boggling truth about the quest for freedom by the separatists; the UAF don't a bleep about them!
Foreign AffairsRe: China Complains As US Destroyer, Ralph Johnson Warship Navigates Taiwan Strait by Invitationn: 7:36am On Mar 20, 2022
Truvelisback:
China has only 2 live lines left. Either to quit the invasion of Taiwan and avoid U.S sanctions and possibly war with the U.S and NATO or invade Taiwan and see the reverse of the U.S and NATO actions.
This is apt!
It beats me how it's difficult for folks to grasp these simple choices.
A lot of folks saying Russia should stop the invasion of Ukraine as if the Westerners have guarantee they'll reverse the sanctions if he does. What then is his gain?
The only thing Putin can put forward to be taken seriously when negotiating the reverse of these crippling sanctions, is Ukraine itself. He must capture the most strategic parts of Ukraine if not the entire Ukraine and offer to withdraw in exchange for all or some of the Sanctions to be lifted.
Even if the West wants to be stubborn, out of the guilt they'd feel for failing the Ukrainians and likely pleas from the Ukrainians to give Putin what he wants so they can have their country released back to them, the Western leaders' hands would be very tight.
The more territories he claims, the more bargaining power he gets.
But if he fails to get enough territories to stand a chance to even bargain, he's done!
Matter of fact, even Crimea and Donbass will be reunited with Ukraine.

Resistance is futile

Negotiate territorial neutrality
End this war and end the destruction.
Russian ops is slow and methodical.
Slow does not mean bugged down
Surrounding the big cities and towns
Gradually wearing out the UAF fighters with targeted strikes one big theater at a time.

Each day “they” turn the pain dial,
Destroying heavy industries and MIlitary-industrial complexes.

Negotiate and end this destruction.
Resistance is futile.
War poet!

To put this in context, this 'city' has a population of 56000 people. And was abandoned by the Ukrainian army.

To put this into context, Ekpoma has a population of 290000 people. So this city is six times smaller than Ekpoma.

And Putin groupies are fantasizing here cheesy
To put this in context, you're essentially saying the Ukrainian army abandoned 56,000 people?
Those days, you'd be on the stretcher by now, just for the way you think.

This is the double standard we are talking about but many people can't understand what they are doing.Now they are forcing everybody to condemn Russia but tomorrow they will cry freedom of speech.

EU is still buying Russian gas but forcing India not to.If you are not white you are not allowed to have an opinion, this is what they are telling the rest of us.
On giant media platforms, sharing falsehoods that promotes the Ukrainians' resistance is overlooked by the mods and praised by users online, while facts that promotes the Russians might get you banned.

That's the double standard from the white fascists and supremacists. When an African or Asian nation is oppressed it is fine, but when a westerner or a white nation is oppressed they retaliate and cry for freedom they didn't ask for others who do not share similar skin colour like them.

They believe their Europe and their West should never witness war of any kind, but they happily invade and launch a full scale war on continents/nations other than theirs, destabilize them and kill the leaders of the nations they invaded.

But they should remember that nothing lasts forever.

I'm against the recent happenings in Europe - the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but Africans should learn from the hypocrisy of the West - people whom you think are fighting for your interest. They only do that at the front of the camera and nowhere else.
To the west, war or suffering in Africa is a classic case of 'not my circus, not my monkeys'.
But curses are like chickens; they always come home to roost.
The White chickens have come home to roost.
Interestingly, in Africa, it's not only our circus, but also our monkeys.
Pathetic!

How will you compare a country that support terrorism to Ukraine. Assuming you have blood relation killed by terrorists, you won't be saying this. USA attack Iraq because Iraqi sponsored terrorist group first attacked US killing more than 5000 people during 9/11 attack. With all the investigations carried out, those countries US attacked were the ones supporting terrorism.

You can't supposedly make a payment from a frozen asset. It's like owing and then the bank, CBN or EFCC had already frozen your account but then you tell your debtor "I have the money but can't touch it because it is frozen. However, I have written a cheque, now it is up to the CBN or EFCC (to unfreeze my account in order for my debt to be made) and they should be held responsible if my debt is not cleared."

I don't understand how these Russians think or do things.
It's valid.
The knowledge of their frozen assets is public.
International nvestors can't pretend they don't know.
Also, there's another plan to pay them in rouble if the foreign assets remain frozen.
