Forums - Politics - Russia and Ukraine flashpoint



Around the Network

Putin asks the oligarchs for money and if they don’t deliver, they’ll probably have a faulty window waiting. Funny thing is, is that Putin is signing his own death warrant by squeezing the oligarchs to pay for the war. Also, if anything, this means Russia is feeling some pressure to pay for it all.


So all in all, very good news

1300 troops….. 



Ukraine has now signed defense agreements with several middle eastern nations.

I know that Qatar wanted drone technology and expertise on using them, in return, Ukraine got more planes. I guess Ukraine needs money and everyone else needs help in fighting in the new era of warfare. This is no doubt even more pertinent given trump’s war with Iran. They would have figured this out eventually, and Ukraine might as well make some much needed money while they can. 



Trump is finally ready to pull the trigger and leave NATO (likely illegally, without Congress approval). Which is a massive gift to Putin and XI

Be that as it may, he is democratically chosen and had the popular vote as well. We will see in the mid terms if this much clownery has a negative impact.

now, russsia has a lot of generals and officers, because they don’t have sergeants. But regardless, this is a great win for Ukraine.
