It is quite simpleā¦ simply make an agreement that no country may interfere in the commerce necessary for the survival of another.Russia is at it again:
I don't think that severe economic consequences are going to deter Russia. I know that the west has been helping Ukraine up it's defensive capability. It will be painful for Russia to invade. Perhaps invasion could be prevented if Nato moved troops directly into Ukraine. But that seems like just temping WW3.
Another option is to have the shut Russia from the Belgium-based SWIFT system of financial payments that moves money among thousands of banks around the world. This would hurt Russia great. It could cut them off half their oil export revenue and a third of their foreign trade. I've seen it reported that
Russia depends on its oil and natural gas exports for more than one-third of its federal revenues, and depends on SWIFT to make the petrodollars flow.
Shoigu hadn't been seen much the last month. This may be a contagious kind of heart attack.
What makes you think that any kind of agreement would work with the Russians. Putin has zero credibility.It is quite simpleā¦ simply make an agreement that no country may interfere in the commerce necessary for the survival of another.Russia is at it again:

Or just go use all our nukes and put an end to this insanity. No one will survive a a nuclear hollocaust except those on the planet of the apesā¦ welcome to your new realityā¦
Itās quite simple, alright.Putin has zero credibility.
Excuse me but until NATO threatened to support Ukraine and upset the balance of the economy. There was no war. Now thousands have died because the Ukraine decided it wants to hold all of Europe hostage. I do not blame Russia for protecting the world from this EU NATO threat to the Entire European peaceful existence.What makes you think that any kind of agreement would work with the Russians.

It was Ukraine that decided to join NATO. And the EUā¦ and upset the commerce of the entire continent t.. now millions of Russian are threatened with starvation because of the Ukraine.. THAT is worth Russia trying to protect its peopleā¦ Stop defending the Ukrainian trouble makers. Russia ha a right to defend itself from the Ukrainian threat to their people.Itās quite simple, alright.Putin has zero credibility.
Ukraine had an agreement with Russia. They give up nukes, their sovereignty is guaranteed. So they gave up nukes.
Then Pootey changed his mind. Now heās trying to bomb them into oblivion for no good reason.
So much for āagreementsā involving Pooteyās Russia.

Exactly. TRY THINKING.. from all sides instead of being brainwashed by the Ukrainian Power Grab. Sneaky Ukrainian political attack using Russia as the big bad wolf when it is the thee little pigs that are causing the problem. By using NATO and the EU to bully Russia into protecting itself.Where do you come up with this... stuff, to put it mildly?It was Ukraine that decided to join NATO.

I use simple evidence logic and reason..
And a tragedy in its own right. They were just boys, most of them. Raised in an authoritarian state surrounded by propaganda and paranoia. I will not cheer this kind of pointless bloodshed. But it is on Putin's hands. I don't blame Ukrainians for defending their own country against invasion.Heard an interesting stat today. Even if you go by more conservative estimates (US, NATO, and a quickly retracted Russian news article from a few days ago), Russia has lost around 10,000 soldiers KIA. To put things into perspective, that is more than the total US combat deaths since the end of Vietnam. I checked the math. Grenada, Panama, Gulf War, Iraq War II - Electric Boogaloo, Afghanistan, and even events like the Beirut bombing, the operations in Bosnia and Kosovo. Just under 6k fatalities in all of them.
Russia has lost more than that (estimated) in a month. Fighting a country that was supposed to fall in days.
This is a catastrophic failure on a number of levels.
I'm thinking...Exactly. TRY THINKING..
I am not sure if your grin is one of agreement or one of sarcasmā¦
Ohhh you are one of those? That explains it.I'm thinking...Exactly. TRY THINKING..
I'm thinking your idiocy is like asserting that America in under threat from Mexican invaders and their Costa Rican enablers have the United States surrounded, just as Ukraine has surrounded and attacked the poor little Russian Bear Cub.
Do you think AT ALL before posting about "the Ukranian threat tothe USSRRussia"??
I am not sure if your grin is one of agreement or one of sarcasmā¦
That alone speaks to your level of comprehension.
Who has NATO ever invaded and occupied?I do not blame Russia for protecting the world from this EU NATO threat
