  1. Ukraine war reminds me of the Iraq invasion by US under false justification. At least Russia has a point in not allowing more NATO (US) bases on its borders.
    How could people ever thought that Russia would allow NATO (US) to keep building bases on its borders and do nothing?Or that Ukraine could win a war against Russia? Not even with NATO support. In a hypothetical situation, would US allow China or Russia to build bases on its borders? Remember Cuban missiles crisis?

  2. Zelensky should lift his Presidential decree which forbids negotiations and go to the negotiation table immediately! End this war – Peace!

  3. Russia will likely break up into smaller nations in the not-too-distant future. Too many conquered peoples want their independence from Russia.

  4. Pootin is so incompetent and delusional that he has weakened his conventional forces for his criminal war of conquest. He is forced to resort to nuclear threats because he has abused and misused his defensive forces to satisfy his greed for conquest.
