  1. That was 17 years ago. It's time to move on.

  2. That's the risk foreign corporations took on by doing business with Vladimir Putin. Germany and some EU countries are finding out as well. If this is seen as a loophole to the economic and financial sanctions from the West, then they will amend the sanctions to penalize companies from the US, UK, and the EU for re-starting operations in Russia.

  6. That was kind of good. I'm so jealous and pissed, but still able to laugh.

  7. Has does the US put 40,000 Russians on the street when they can't even protect the US Capitol from fascists? That's a sign there is a problem with the Russian government.

  8.  @Germanicus2415  What you claimed is even more simplistic. Are you another neo-fascist? It didn't work out to well last time for Germany. Are you going to repeat the same mistake advocate nationalism, so Russia can run half of Europe once again. Just stick with domestic politics. Leave superpower questions for the US.

  9.  @andreleblanc7616  There is a method to the madness, but neither the US, Russia, or Ukraine would be willing to show their hand (cards). The US has more options available using its soft and hard power. If it gives Ukraine all the weapons in its arsenals and totally cuts the Russian economy off from international trade, the threat of adding more weapons, sanctions, and economic warfare loses its psych affect. The only deterrent to Russia would be a direct military conflict with NATO and complete economic embargo of all goods, services, and energy resources leaving Russia. It would be a containment policy on steroids and similar to what Germany tried and failed to do with Great Britain.

  10. How do we know Putin is still currently alive. The only thing we get in the international media are pre-recorded statements.

  11. There's no need to insult the EU like that. That was very offensive and uncalled for.

  12. If he believed that, he'd wouldn't have backed down. Biden actually has European allies and domestic support, which makes him much stronger than Trump and his incoherent foreign policy.

  13.  @grisall  I'm in the defense industry and don't agree with you. The US hasn't demobilized since the 1940s, and what you're considering a "cut" in defense is nearly totally related to the end of combat operations in Iraq. The political nonsense about "D" versus "R" is an indication that you don't have facts supporting you. By chance, the current occupant in the White House is "D." Do you see a cut in the military and isolationism, or the same military-industrial complex and an unmatched superpower?

  14. [ 5:30 ] What is it about combs in Britain that makes them so underappreciated in 2022?

  15. I don't think the Ukrainians care at this point.

  16. You'll be on the right side of history. So many Ukrainians hate the war that's been brought to them, but it's given so many young men a new purpose in life. Be safe, and continue fighting for democracy and freedom.

  17.  @malleus_malemaleficarus  Being a freedom fighter for another country? I wouldn't know how it feels because I've never left home to go fight and defend human rights in a different nation.

  18. How would this work with the tradition of arranged marriages?

  19. We'd have a repeat of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US already has nukes that could reach China in minutes.

  21. ​ @sunrae3971  The US DOES protect its foreign interests in Europe and throughout the world. If it were to simply sit back as an isolationist nation and allow the UK economy to collapse and become bankrupt, it would be damaging to the financial sector, international trade, international monetary policy, and the markets for US Dollars-UK Pound Sterling exchanges. Despite being a sovereign nation with the sole authority to make the UK's austerity, fiscal stimulus, and monetary policy, Britain and the Bank of England ("BOE") will never act unilaterally. The UK is closely integrated with the economies of its main trading partners, so the BOE's inflation targets, interest rates, exchange rates, and economic-growth projections are nearly identical to the influential policies and targets set by the US Federal Reserve Bank, Int'l Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank. The GDP of the UK is well above three US$ trillion, so from the perspective of the US and G7 nations, the UK economy, Pound Sterling, and the Bank of England are TOO big to fail without negatively impacting the global economic situation and consumer confidence. In the past, the US has intervened around the world (including Europe), to protect both (1) the domestic economies and currency-exchange rates of its international trading partners; and (2) to implement policies beneficial to the US GDP, business interests, and the health of the domestic US job market. If the UK were to be bailed out by the US again, the negotiations and settlements will mostly be determined by the leverage of US corporations and special interests groups that aggressively lobbies DC politicians and diplomats to include financially beneficial terms in treaties and executive international agreements that make US corporations wealthier, more productive, and competitive against international rivals.

  22.  @OmmerSyssel  You may have misunderstood the point and assumed I was mentioning a form of charity from richer nations bailing out the Bank of England. Are you familiar with the Bretton Woods system, and global monetary funds created after the Second World War? Also, you should be aware that the Pound Sterling and Euro are pegged to the US dollar. How do you think that system is maintained?

  23. Wow. It's another CCP data and stat 🙄 miracle like in 2020. There were a little more than 100M cases and over 1M deaths in the United States. I don't wish death a misery on them, but there's no reason to keep fudging unrealistic numbers.

  24.  @Crashed131963  I agree. It doesn't even have to be on the Polish side. Anywhere near Poland will deter Russia. The Poles are more likely to unilaterally enter the war without being attacked than abandoning Ukraine.

  28. They won't fight NATO at all, and that's one of the reasons Russia attacked Ukraine now. Right now, there's no mutual-security pact that would bring North American and European armed forces into the war to defend Ukraine.

  29. I wonder if there's any connection to sabotage of the Nord Stream I and II pipelines and infrastructure.

  30. This is why the sanctions will permanent. There's no way Russia under Putin will ever have normal relations with the US again. The US position will simply be to arm Ukrainians to kill Russian soldiers and continue the economic warfare to destabilize the Russian economy. A Russia being contained like the former Soviet Union and cut off the West might be the best way to prevent the war from escalating.

  31. That's been the case throughout human history.

  32. Go try and get a travel visa to visit Russia. See if they welcome you as a Slavic brother.

  33. NATO is involved by providing weapons, Intel, aid, and sanctions. Are you asking about NATO troops fighting within Ukraine? Ukrainians still have the advantage of defending their own land and already trained their soldiers. In order to expand the war or bring in the US, Russia would have to attack NATO country; or commit an atrocity that severe enough to force the White House to unilaterally intervene.

  34.  @RAVI89RULZ  Is this even really a major conflict, or is it just the CCP using it as a distraction? If it's not likely to escalate into a military conflict, why should nuclear weapons be considered? The CCP has a much more hostile global competitor in the United States.

  35.  @thuankhong  The same America that has the best COVID-19 vaccine and therapies in the world, and unlike China we use real data instead of faking deaths for other causes. There's going to be a lot of deaths in China not America. We already have herd immunity and multiple different ways to treat COVID-19, instead of locking up millions of people in their homes.

  36.  @Omega0850  These are trolls and bots with bait comments to get swarmed by other Russian trolls. Don't waste time by giving them a platform to spread misinformation.

  37. The threats are a sign of desperation, but there's been a reason nukes haven't been used in war since Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Russia isn't the only nation with WMDs. A NATO imposed no-fly zone over Ukraine and targeted bombing using US conventional weapons would seal the fate of Putin and Russian soldiers in Ukraine. I doubt even the CCP would support the Kremlin using WMDs on a country that never attacked Russia. That would be a humiliating end to Putin's regime and thousands of lives lost over the ego of one mad man.

  38. That's life. Europe, Japan, and the United States are too big and rich for Russia to engage in an economic war and expect to win.
