That's crazy thought. Kazakhstan is much closer to Russia than China or India is because Kazakhstan relies on Russia.

OK. And in fact @beijingwalker had posted an Asian Boss street interview in Almaty city and one girl said that if Russia has to fight against the world then Kazakhstan will fight alongside Russia against the world.

Initially refused now Germany willing to deliver 100 Marder infantry tanks to Ukraine.

Ukraine möchte 100 Marder der Bundeswehr

Die Ukraine hofft darauf, dass Deutschland ihr Kampfpanzer liefert - diesmal geht es nicht um alte DDR-Fahrzeuge, sondern um Marder der Bundeswehr. Dafür schlägt sie ein Spiel über die Bande vor, das in Berlin noch nicht viel Anklang findet.

Russian spooks are being kicked out of Europe en masse​

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has bruised its army and battered its economy. Now Russia’s spies are being hammered, too. On April 7th Austria, for many years a hub for Russian espionage, became the latest country to expel suspected Russian intelligence officers, bringing the total number of Russian officials expelled from America and Europe since the war began to more than 400. The mass expulsions, the largest in history, are likely to have lasting effects on Vladimir Putin’s intelligence services and their ability to spy—and to subvert—in Europe.

Finland set to join NATO

That would never happen but for Putin's invasion . Public opinion in Finland was very much against it . But now it seems most of the public support this move , for obvious reasons.

Finland to clarify next steps on possible NATO entry within weeks​

HELSINKI, April 7 (Reuters) - Finland will clarify next steps regarding a possible decision to seek NATO membership in the coming weeks, Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto told reporters after attending a NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels on Thursday.

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February, opinion polls commissioned by Finnish media outlets have shown a swift U-turn in public opinion in Finland with the majority now favouring joining U.S.-led NATO.

Finland, a European Union member state, shares a 1,300-km (810-mile) border with Russia. Haavisto said Russia's invasion had shown that Russia is willing to take increasing risks in its military operations, can quickly mobilise more than 100,000 soldiers against a neighbouring country, and has mooted more openly than before the possible use of its nuclear and biological weapons.

"There we come to a situation in which we may need cooperation," Haavisto said, alluding to NATO.

He added that NATO member countries have offered to help Finland with ensuring security during an application process and said they estimate it would take from four months to one year to approve the application.

"There is an important NATO summit in Madrid in June. Of course NATO is wondering whether Finland and possibly Sweden will have submitted their membership applications before that," Haavisto said.


He said the government will next week give the Finnish parliament a review on how Russia's decision to attack Ukraine has changed Finland's security. But he added the government was prepared to quickly propose joining NATO if there was sufficient support from parliament.

After fighting with the Soviet Union during World War Two, Finland has based security policy on maintaining a credible defence and friendly relations with its much larger neighbour.

The Nordic nation ularly participates in defence training with neighbouring Sweden and Norway, is a member of British-led JEF forces and in 2014 joined NATO's enhanced opportunities program together with Sweden, Australia, Georgia and Jordan.

Here's what I think is going to happen...

The US is continuing its Wolfowitz Doctrine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfowitz_Doctrine) on Russia, and they know full well that the Ukrainians have no chance of winning this, but they're prolonging it for as long as possible to butcher Russian soldiers. The European NATO and EU poodles obediently play along.

When the Azov battalion and other elements of the Ukrainian army are finally defeated in Eastern Ukraine, and the country effectively becoming land-locked, the remnants of the neo-Nazis will escape to their Western heartland. Disgruntled, they'll blame the Jew Zelenski for their defeat, and either overthrow his puppet regime, or shoot him dead, and establish a Banderarite state. Western Ukraine would then effectively become the first neo-Nazi state, right on the borders of NATO.

NATO would then be "compelled" to invade Western Ukraine, defeat the Banderarite neo-Nazi state, and checkmate...NATO is on the borders of Russia in what was left of Ukraine.

I can't help but feel Putin has played into the trap.

If we haven't all sleep walked into WWIII and nuclear Armageddon by then, remember where you read it first

First Russia needs to win in eastern Ukraine. If this happens, it will more be a West-East Germany Situation. Why should NATO send any troops? It`s a defence pact. Ukrainians are fighting well enough anyway.
