Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Madni Bappa]

This is a poorly thought out argument, which made it a bad argument.

The world is filled with ideas. Some are parallel. Some are contestant. An example would be when the US rebelled against the British Crown. The colonists have a different idea on how they should live. The Crown disagreed. They fought. The colonists won. Then the US came to be. But was the American colonists against the Crown the only contestant ideas at that time? Hardly.

Here is a list of 18th century conflicts that were about the same time as when the colonists fought against the Crown...

Today, despite a shared terrible past, the US-UK alliance is one of the world's strongest. The two modern countries have differences but not enough to go to war over. We can say that the US-UK are parallel ideas. The point here is that the US does not 'need' any enemy or nemesis because as long as someone else have a different idea on how to live and does not like the American way, there is going to be conflict. Ideas needs the human agency to survive and propagate. Whenever we encounter a different idea, we naturally recoil. It is a protective move. If I do not protect what I have, I will be changing my mind with every new idea I meet. So I have to initially reject what I just found. Then if I chose to examine the new idea, I will do so, and if I find the new idea attractive, I will change my mind. That is how we all want the world to work.

But not everyone is patient enough to allow others to change their minds, so they resort to conflict, which naturally make me resistant to change my mind. Convince me, not force. If I am powerful enough to resist force, that is your problem, not mine. Do not blame me for taking your believers if they happened to find my idea more attractive than yours. That attraction was why East Germans jumped The Wall or Cubans risked shark infested waters to float to the US. But we do not see West Germans jumped The Wall or Americans floated to Cuba, do we?

Regarding to what is happening today. Poutine have been in power in Russia since 2000. That is 22 yrs of preserving the Russia idea. But why? In those 22 yrs, Poutine got wealthier and wealthier while the Russians got nowhere. Poutine preserved, not improved. If Poutine had improved the Russia idea, maybe Ukraine would have petitioned Russia to share in that idea. Instead, Ukraine looked westward and Poutine got mad because this beautiful Ukrainian girl looked at another man. If you do not improve your house, why should she stay? If you do not improve your body, why should she make love to you? Have you looked at all the critical social and economic statistics for Russia lately? They sucks, and anyone would say that kindly.

The US do not need to 'have an enemy'. They always find US so we have to be ready to defend the America idea. You are free to create your own idea, but do not b!tch if your citizens starts eyeballing US.

Also your post is epitome of whataboutism. And baat ko ghumana

So how will Americans treat Saudi demand of supporting them without conditions in Yemen and hushing up on criticism of MBS?

Insight: Saudi crown prince plays the oil card in quest for U.S. recognition

Saudi Arabia's crown prince says he simply doesn't care whether Joe Biden misunderstands him.

www.reuters.com

Ukraine crisis will have implications for both Yemen and Syria and there are so many directions where this could go

Saudi is holding out, because high oil price is good for them (well, that's a given) but technical US can unilaterally increase supply to quench the demand, but they will need to re-tapping the massive US shale oil and gas, which is political suicide..

Notice that this is what Trump had done during 2018 crisis when Iran shut off oil supply, we have a price hike and US ramp up production in shale, and leading to Saudi ramping up as well. But if this administration do what Trump did 4 years ago, that's political suicide...

Calm down, these terrorists are not representative of anything. Even lgbt rights were discussed within 600 pages. The terrorist organization ISIS is actively in a relationship/conflict with both the USA and Russia in Syria and Iraq. Therefore, it will not be too irrelevant to share their opinions on this issue. I think you've already decided what you want to believe. Why are you instrumentalizing Isis?

Nothing was decided by me it was decided by the western. If any one who isnt blonde with blue eyes dies then its a normal way of life but when European dies then its a tragedy. ISIS has met its demise.I am just amused how people are vocal for Europeans but when it comes to others no one can hear their voice.

Good point. Russia has problems with NATO but is willing to sell its advanced military hardware to a NATO member state as well? Strange.

First it was because of NATO , than it was to help Donbass , now it is to fight Nazis ( left there from WW2 i guess ).

All excuses .

Putin really must have pissed off the Israelis when he made a call to them while they were attacking Al Aqsa.

I will say again somewhere behind the scenes there is Jewish involvement. Not just because of Zelensky.

Well, not strange, this is a ploy, because normal Russia fear of NATO encroachment, that's the card Putin play to gain public support, NATO have not been in any hostility with Russia directly. But if you read Putin speech (Can't listen to him) you will have a picture on your mind that NATO tank is in Ukraine and those tank are using on the Eastern separatist region.

But if you look at what Russia do and what NATO did, you know it's one giant pile of..... If NATO want to deploy missile and threaten Russia, they don't really need Ukraine, Latvia is as close as Ukraine, and is already a NATO country. Which means if NATO missile threat is a problem for Russia, the would stack against Latvia border and threaten to invade Latvia if there are hypothetical missile deployed there. Which make why NATO would want Ukraine did not make sense. because of all the country Russia could have threaten anyone next to their border, 4 of them EU, 2 of them NATO, 1 is Belarus, and the other is Ukraine, Putin go after the only non-NATO country for the supposed threat of NATO...

In hindsight tho, they probably should have accept Ukraine back in 2008 when Ukraine applies, and that's probably would avoid this war...

Please do explain why oil can be replaced by another source but no country is willing to do it.

Do you not understand the difference between a country and a company?

No brother.

The Jewish have no involvement in it besides alot of people seems to misunderstand things here regarding the jews. In reality the jews are merely servants of the west aka previously known as Rome. The Jewish are not a free entity and used with a tight-rope and I am speaking from ground reality bro not conspiracy theories.

The reason for the reaction is because the western world is under attack right now.. Hence this pains them greatly and this is their war and they may not be able to take on Putin militairly but they will approach from other areas but make no mistake the western world is under attack. Even if Israeli cities were being destroyed they wouldn't react as they are reacting to Ukraine because they consider it part of the west and they are directly under attack

This is true and nobody knows the west more then we do as we have basically occupied it for centuries and intermingled with them hence we understand who is who and where.. From Iberia, France to Switzerland and to majority of Eastern Europe including Russia.

There is an West and East.. Russia represents the Eastern ortodox and Byzantine empire because they split once as they outgrow each other and became two rivaling entities.

They have even elected Jesus as God in Turkey in the Council of Nicaea.. All of the Mediterranean use to be Eastern Ortodox territory for centuries Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya including Syria, Lebanon and Palestine before the arrival of Muhammad in 610 where he meet Jabril in that cave one night in August 10th of that same year this one single night changed the geopolitics of the whole world
