Ukraine v Russia II

Of note, they have a lot of very upgraded T-72's in the form of their indigenous PT-91 which they have not given to Ukraine and would be of more immediate use to them than Leopards.

 

Greece is in a bit of a sticky situation tho with Erdogan constantly waving the sabre at them. Most of it is just for political posturing, but If Erdogan gets in a situation where he's on the verge of losing the election... Ehhhh.

 

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday that he had been asked to conclude a non-aggression pact with Ukraine

No answers yet from Ukraine

• “...They are asking us not to go to war with Ukraine in any circumstances, not to move our troops there. They are proposing we conclude a non-aggression pact.”

 

The senior Israeli official said Dror Shalom, the head of the policy department in the Israeli Defense Ministry, told his U.S. counterparts there is no change in Israel’s policy not to provide weapons systems to Ukraine.

can she do that?
Don’t they need some Phoney baloney vote and or declaration from the Bundestag, like we do in the US?

 

Every governments have their "amateur"

 

He thought he was being clever by doing this just before winter. I thought they were trying to scare the more gullible folks but noooo they themselves also believe it

The dumbs dumbs really thought Europe will die of cold and hunger. Worse he thought Western Europe will suffer

August 2022 (gas was 3500 euros per thousand cubic meters)

It is 560 now BTW

The biggest lol is Russia saying they will not accept an oil cap of 60 dollars. They are selling it at 48 currently

India was buying at 32-35 in december

And Russia again discovered that yes they will have other clients other than EU. But no one will pay as well.

 

yes, let’s not talk about the Poles
They were not the ones leading all of Europe in appeasing Putin/Russia for the last several decades and only waking up after the fighting already started

Poles ********!ng with the Germans comes right behind Ukrainians killing Russians when it comes to the ‘entertainment’ side international news

 

That TV show is available on Hulu or Netflix or one of those. I watched the first episode. It's interesting given events of the last 12 months.

 

That's not surprising at all - no oil producer would ever agree to the principle of its clients fixing the price of their commodity. This most likely pissed off the Saudis to the point that they will accept other currencies undermining the US dollars and join BRICS

Yes - India are getting huge discount but in return, it furthered positioned India on their side so they took the hit financially but gained diplomatically. India refusal to condemn Russia shocked Washington who even considered sanctioning them - the very mechanism alienating the Global South.

This is what I meant by "hard reset" on diplomacy - I find it deplorable how poorly we did on that front.

Their take on this

 

Ever heared of "Russian roulette"?

 

Uhm, they have Turkey to look out for.

 

We used to have an Eighty Years War, you know.

 

He's American.
