Ukraine Watch...

A great deal of the world is actually unaligned. Obviously for Europe's own interests they're willing to fight to the last Ukrainian . Shameful.

I am more than happy for this. If you view Ukrainians as really being Russians then it is a civil war and we are helping the more democratic side.

Trump is risght it should not have come to this. 30 years of poor Western diplomacy towards Russia and toleration of their espionage and tricks and exploiting their economy during the Yeltsin period.

The minerals are not that important. I think the food supply is far more strategic. Australia has all the minerals Ukraine has and far more quantities.

Underlying this all is that the US has a budget crisis, and underwrote other democracies to win the Cold War, and basically funded Europes generaous welfare systems as a result of lower defence costs. Russia has used most of its immense natural resources for funding defence instead of development in other fields and as a result of this will continue to do so.

Russian bullshit

F--k off.

Haha touched a nerve have I

No. I lost interest in reading your posts about two years ago, and have zero emotional engagement with you, because I do not read what you write. If you had any credibility around here I might bothered, but you don't. Your contributions aren't having any actual effect. They don't matter to anything else, so it would be rather stupid if I they mattered to me.

Indeed. He's made 250 pro-Putin posts and not moved the dial of opinion on here a millimeter...
He must have realised that by now, so presumably he continues to post to get some kind of weird kick...
He should take up drinking more vodka like most of his comrades.
