  1. Interesting since only 3 South American country and about half of africa didn't vote with the west on russian withdrawal. A good chunk of Asia is with Ukraine, especially south east Asia

  2.  @Ankit-d9f4u  most of South America and parts of South East Asia are following sanctions.

  3. The one where you condem colonial expansion in the modern age.

  4. Is that why Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan, all voted for russias unconditional withdrawal from ukraine, and the return of occupied territory including crimea? It looks like South East Asia is mostly with ukraine. 🇺🇦 Singapore has even provided financial, humanitarian, and military aid along with a few other South East Asian countries.

  5. Half of Africa voted for the unconditional return of crimea and all occupied territory to ukraine, russian withdrawal of troops, and a ceasefire. Only 3 South American counties didn't vote yes, and a little over half of Asian countries didn't vote yes. Only 6 counties actually voted with russia, 32 were absent or abstained from voting. Most who abstained made statements condemning russias war. So in reality few countries are with russia. The ones who are don't have support of their own people.

  6.  @svanimation8969  16 nations from SE Asia: Singapore, Cambodia, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Bangladesh, New guinea, Brunei, Micronesia, Myanmar, South Korea, Japan, Bhutan, and Nepal.

  7. I'd say Vasha poutine and winnie the pooh are the ones dividing the world. Divide and conquer as they say.

  8.  @vv6533  neither am I. However the LNG terminals are up and Europe has energy deals. Personally I'd be worried if I wasn't in EU/NA. With russian gas off the market and Europe securing other energy sources, there's less on the market for poorer nations. I'd stock up on fire wood this summer if I were you.

  9.  @vv6533  it's not though... 🤣 just wait and see for yourself.

  10. ​ @andrewokoduwa3773  it's down to pre war levels in the EU. Here we didn't feel it as an energy exporter.

  11.  @thewanderdire  its 700,000 total that have left. 300,000 is just the number of high skilled professionals. They have the numbers from all the countries letting them in. They are pretty close to 1 million russians leaving or being lost in less then 24 months. They have less births then deaths in russia. The war and the mass emigration is only hastening the decline of russia. Lol, this war has increased recruitment and investment in the military. It's nothing to do about wokenes. It's poutn following his twisted Ivan ilyin philosophy.

  12. Interesting, only 3 countries in South America are with russia or neutral. Half of Africa and almost half of Asia has sided with the west. So the guest asserting the west being out of touch with the global south, is itself out of touch.

  13.  @hybridchicken2994  all of them have their own modified sanctions and have provided aid. I'm fine if their "token support" is mostly political support and financial/humanitarian aid. At least they joined the right side of history.

  14.  @Ankit-d9f4u  French, Swedish and an Indian general lead the joint command structure of the UNPROFOR. It even had African and South American participation. Look up the countries involved. I'll make it easy. All participants in UNPROFOR: Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.

  15. The main person being interviewed is from India speaking an Indian centric point out of touch with the actual global south.

  16. Especially since half sided with west in the U.N.

  17. ​​ @faniel7265  yugoslavia was a UN mission that even had russias approval and troops on the ground. Look up UNPROFOR. The 1999 bombing was the last act of the mission. With global participation russia has forces in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and more. They extract mineral and hydrocarbon resources while holding government hostage.

  18.  @subhrajitgupta5535  yeah, yeah, keep coping. Sri Lanka has a universal health care system that extends free healthcare to all citizens, which has been a national priority. OPD facilities are readily available in public (general) hospitals situated in major towns and cities, with laboratory and radiology facilities.

  19. OK, well you guys going Switzerland in this war will be remembered similarly. Fascist appeasement doesn't make friends.

  20. Yet they say they are too poor to provide aid. Unlike powerful Slovenia

  21.  @gigachadsitler  yes, a whopping almost 8 million worth. Those were also private companies not the government. A token amount to write off as a charitable donation come tax season.

  22.  @holeesheet8582  The WHO for the U.N. to determine how foreign medical aid is supplied globally... Yeah, it worked pretty well and we're past covid. At least western countries share real facts and figures. Unlike China and ehm, India who played politics over health care with cov 19.

  23. ​ @radhika00240  out of 167 countries who share health care data, India is ranked 101. It doesn't exactly sound great. You really want to be in the top 100 😉

  24. India pretending they speak for the global south when over half of the countries voted to condem russia at the UN.

  25. Yep, Indian nationalists like the russian fascists.

  26.  @gooflydo  lol it was France and Germany who were saying disband NATO. Obama was talking caution too. You guys draged your feet until 2015. France, UK, Canada, Sweden, and Poland sent military advisers and training staff in 2014. A year before America sent any help. Realise the world doesn't revolve around USA. Also 75 billion has not been sent. It's 43 or 48 billion depending on which methods used to calculate.

  27. Hasn't the EU provided. More militarily aid then the USA despite having a collectively smaller GDP?

  28. Lol what even? Creative lies you have there. Haven't heard these ones before. They have a medical research facility with less then 200 people.

  29.  @bordeaux1337  remember when russians gassed Syria and tried to blame America?

  31. ​ @thewanderdire  is that why the russian population is in a steep decline?

  32.  @thewanderdire  I'm pretty sure with the brain drain and mobilisation. russia is depleting faster

  33.  @thewanderdire  russia is in a historic level of decline and I doubt the over 300,000 professionals who left russia are all KGB spies. Especially since they mostly went to former soviet States, Israel, or Turkey. That with the nearing 200,000 war losses on top of the lack of births and immigration. russia is in a downward spiral. They won't be very relevant if this continues for another few years like this.
