joyandfaith: Non- binding referendum. Why is that Georgia and Ukraine not yet NATO members? Why is that Georgia and Ukraine want to join NATO for protection? Russia aggression towards neighbors is reason those neighbors want to join nato.
Am tired of saying the same thing in a circle
The day you will wake up from sleep is when nukes starts to rain on your city.
naijaman2225: YOU GOT IT WRONG THERE. AMERICA SUCCEEDED TWICE. IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA ( SOUTH KOREA) IS AN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE FIRMLY IN AMERICA'S DIPLOMATIC ORBIT. THE 'DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA' ( NORTH KOREA) WHICH, BY THE WAY IS ANYTHING BUT DEMOCRATIC, IS A PARIAH STATE, AN ECONOMIC BASKET CASE RULED BY AN AUTOCRATIC DYNAST THAT DEPENDS ON CRUMBS FROM CHINA FOR SURVIVAL. AS FOR VIETNAM, IT IS A MIDDLE LEVEL DEVELOPING COUNTRY, FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES AND FERVENTLY ANTI CHINA.
CNN won't tell you that North Korea is a developed successful state no homeless people like in the USA the feed every one well
naijaman2225: JUST AS RUSSIA HAS NUKED USA WITH HYPERSONIC WEAPONS. LOL. IF WISHES WERE HORSES BEGGARS WOULD RIDE.

okeysoninv: you believe Russia misinformation , Ukraine never applied to join any NATO , in disguise to take Ukraine land they concocted lies.
At the June 2021 Brussels summit, NATO leaders reiterated the decision taken at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine would become a member of the Alliance with the NATO MAP as an integral part of the process and Ukraine's right to determine its own future and foreign policy course without outside interference. https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Ukraine–NATO relations - Wikipedia
I can't believe you guys just joined intentional politics Ukraine even recently before the war put it in their constitution to join nato should I show you that too.
okeysoninv: trash, after giving up Ukraine land be also ready to give up land in Moldova, Lithuania , Estonia , finnland. the earlier you guys come together and the cancerous Russia good for the world. in your mind you thought Russia will stop at Ukraine I laugh you Mr Kissinger.
It is the price to pay for wanting to join nato to fight Russia in the future.
dapoRead: Please guys you need to watch the video from mark 9:29. This Ghanian leader should be the president of Ghana. His points are so straightforward for anyone with Brains left. Anyone that is saying otherwise really needs a classical brain re-structuring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xCXYtCtUWU I could not help but fall in love with this Ghanian leader in the video above. He said it all and he needs all the praise he can get.
alabo1: Must I be Iraqi or a Muslim to emphasize with their plight?Look I am just being objective. For discussion purposes let's say the Russian incursion into Ukraine was wrong right? What about the incursions by the West? Where they not wrong too? What gives them the moral right to be above criticism? What is good for the goose is good for the gander
Don't mind them USA just presently invaded Somalia non of them have memory to talk about it or complain.
Kingsnairaland: Henry Kissinger: Ukraine must give Russia territory Former US Secretary of State warns against the defeat of Putin as Western unity on sanctions frays badly By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard IN DAVOS, SWITZERLAND 23 May 2022 • 7:17pm
Veteran US statesman Henry Kissinger has urged the West to stop trying to inflict a crushing defeat on Russian forces in Ukraine, warning that it would have disastrous consequences for the long term
joyandfaith: A member nation can decide to block admission of a member state. There are steps that must be taken before final ratification. It was Merkel of Germany that blocked attempt by Ukraine to join nato few years back. She said it recently. I can't remember name of France leader who blocked it then.
Would you say nato was the reason for invasion of Georgia by Russia? There are always deeper issues. Nato excuse is to win public interest.
NATO wanted Ukraine that what cause the war even pope admit it are you wiser then the pope.
On 5 January 2008 Georgia held a non-binding referendum on NATO membership with 77% voting in favor of joining the organization. Russia sees NATO's eastward expansion as a threat against their strategic interests in Europe and has accused the West of having double standards. https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Georgia–NATO relations - Wikipedia
That exactly the same reason they wanted to jojn nato too it is actually you that don't understand intentional politics.
There is what we call divide before you rule that what USA goes about the world to do
Bringing problems to the world so that you won't have peace with your neighbors.
railone: point out where they said the same thing about Ukraine.

joyandfaith: France and Germany had blocked Ukraine admission to NATO some years ago. NATO is not reason from for war. This has been discussed here. May you are new in this kind of discussion. All members must agree before a nation can be admitted to nato. This is not possible for Ukraine. Ukraine war is snout influence and resource in Donbass region. Dig deeper.

You are wrong they agree to let Ukraine join nato it is when Russia started the war that they changed mouth . Evidence above
Watch now they move to Finland now let me ask you will those nation you list again agree for Finland to join nato because that is the red line for Russia.
joyandfaith: What will China gain by attacking Taiwan? Is Taiwan a security risk to China? What has Russia gained from from Ukraine war? Nothing tangible for now. Russia has brought war to it border? China shouldn't make that mistake. USA wouldn't bring war to its border. It would rather go for economic blockade, coup, political assassination, civil unrest and wait patiently for regime change. That is diplomacy.
nato no longer going to take Ukraine as it member that is the main reason for the war. I know you have a hard time understanding it.
Ojuntana: Stupid democrats with their large mouths and small brains have ended up stoking the lion's tail. Now that the lion is awake, they don't know how to tame it. I'm sure the next stupid move will be to engage China over Taiwan militarily. That will be the end of the US influence over world politics.
very true.
Almost all the household commodities and appliances are made in China.
Almost all the Conflicts, Division and Wars are made in USA.
Two powerful countries with different contributions to the world.
Here comes the crazy country USA trying to destroy Asia after destroying The Middle East and Europe.
Poland Says Norway Should Share Its “Gigantic” Oil & Gas Profits
By Tsvetana Paraskova - May 23, 2022, 12:00 PM CDT Polish PM: Norway should share its huge profits from oil and gas exports. Polish PM: "This is an indirect preying on the war started by Putin". Poland expects to start receiving natural gas from Norway via the Baltic Pipe Project in 2023. Join Our Community Norway, western Europe’s largest oil and gas producer, should share the huge profits it has made from oil and gas exports since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Poland’s prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said this weekend.
“They should share these excess profits. It’s not normal, it’s unjust. This is an indirect preying on the war started by Putin,” Morawiecki said during a meeting with a youth group on Sunday, as quoted by Bloomberg.
“But should we be paying Norway gigantic money for gas — four or five times more than we paid a year ago? This is sick,” Morawiecki said.
“Write to your young friends in Norway…They should share it, not necessarily with Poland [but] for Ukraine, for those most affected by this war. Isn’t that normal?” the Polish prime minister added, Notes from Poland reports.
Poland expects to start receiving natural gas from Norway via the Baltic Pipe Project, which is planned to be fully commissioned at the start of 2023 and diversify Poland’s gas supply.
Meanwhile, Polish Minister of Climate and Environment, Anna Moskwa, said on Monday that Poland had terminated an agreement to receive Russian gas via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, nearly a month after Russia stopped deliveries to Poland after the EU member refused to pay in rubles for gas.
“Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has confirmed the accuracy of the Polish government’s determination to become completely independent from Russian gas,” the Polish minister tweeted, adding that “We always knew that Gazprom was not a reliable partner.”
In late April, Gazprom cut off Russian gas deliveries to Poland – as well as to Bulgaria—saying that supply was stopped “due to absence of payments in rubles.”
Poland had a deal with Gazprom expiring at the end of 2022.
Poland has always argued that Europe needs to cut its reliance on Russian gas because Moscow weaponizes energy to gain influence in the EU. Poland itself has been trying for years to shake off its dependence on Russian gas as it has always considered Russia’s energy policy a threat to energy security.

panafrican: France 24 reporting from Davos, Switzerland said Ukrainian president Zelensky asked for $ 500 billion in aid to Ukraine to rebuild the country and care for those affected by the war. Curiously many Western media did not report on that. They chose to underline that Zelensky urges "maxium sanctions " on Russia. Question: If Westerners care that much about the Ukrainian people can't they give Ukraine that money as grants (not loans) ?
They won't report anything that hurt them.
Ukraine from the first day of the war their politicians wife's where looting dollars like drinking water because they know Ukraine is gone for good.

sangresan: You shouldn't have grown up. You should have remained in diapers because you reason like a kindergarten pupil. 1# There is no govt policy that could be acceptable to all the citizens of a country. There will always be dissent.
2# There are millions of Ukrainians who believe their country shouldn't join NATO.
3# The military operation being prosecuted by Russia today is meant to avert a larger war between NATO countries and Russia in the nearest future. Therefore, all rational human beings should commend Russia for undertaken this operation despite the perils.
Don't mind them they actually think every one in USA supports biden devilish policies.
