@PeterSedesse : That was the observation I was hoping someone would make, sir. The one big thing to add to that list is: * Begun the process of shifting Russia to becoming China’s Vassal State. Did you know that China just recently changed all of its electronic maps? Now those regions of the Russian, “Federation,” that we’re soaked up into the USSR, all have their old, Manchurian, names again. If that isn’t a statement of intent, what is? If Britain started calling America, “The Colonies of King George III,” again, America would be worried . . . for about 5 minutes, until they remember that they outgun Britain both militarily and economically at about 1,000 to 1. I genuinely think Russia will break up and shrink, becoming wholly reliant upon China for survival. And they will likely keep Putin in power. And he will only be able to prevent palace coups and revolutions by ever increasing extremism, until we have another North Korea on our hands. I certainly believe that this is China’s long game.

IKR? . . . Awe . . . Lavrov thinks he’s still in a position to make demands . . . That’s adorable.

@thesauceman8457 : All examples from generations that are not alive anymore and have been dead for more than a century. We were all supposed to have learned from two world wars and made agreements since. Agreements that Russia has NEVER kept. Read a book, kid.

@michaelcoletta4547 : Ukrainian citizens should decide the fate of Ukraine. If you mean the imported Russians, who were all armed to the teeth Russian army veterans, who moved there simply to intimidate the local populations into submission and then declare that they want to be a part of Russia now, just after burying the local law enforcement chiefs and politicians in a mass grave? Like they did in Georgia, Estonia, Donbas and countless other locations? NO. They don’t get any say.

@xChimkin : No, son. The statement, “not an argument,” is not an argument. You cannot debate people who died more than a century ago. The, “rules based society,” that was introduced by NATO after WWII acknowledged that EVERY country created its borders by displacing or absorbing previous populations, including Russia. So, your benchmark is post WWII, or you have nothing to, “argue,” kid.

I just think the way he acts like anything he says, let alone the demands he makes, carry ANY weight among serious people, is adorable. The only real question is, how much is he gaslighting himself? Is it as much as he thinks he’s gaslighting us? I know 7 year olds who do it better.

@jonr6680 : I got that first from Jake Broe’s channel. I find I often hear things first from him on this war, before it goes mainstream. Not always. But his analysis is excellent, since he was an airforce officer (serving in the nuclear missile silos dotted about the US) before becoming a financial expert, which was what his channel was about before the war. Now, his channel is devoted to the war in Ukraine. Worth checking out, if you don’t already?

@awf6554 : Ah yes. The demographic crisis. Both China and Russia are facing a serious ageing population problem. Of course, this only adds impetus to China’s desire to welcome new people of a similar ethnic and cultural background from Russia’s crumbling Federation. I don’t know if racism is a big issue in China, but they’re not famous for being open minded. Yet, the cultural history of those southern Russian states is looking increasingly likely to become the cultural history of those northern Chinese states.

@zatoichison6420 : They clearly haven’t. 😂

At this stage, Lavrov is a literally POINTLESS human being. Literally any puppet could do his job, which is gaslighting the west to such an egregious level that he only has to utter a sentence to remind us all of why we hate Russia’s dictatorship. I’ve never seen such a genuine waste of blood and organs.

They will also need to stop bombing Ukraine, pay reparations and turn over their war criminals. As to the, “get out of Ukraine,” part, the Ukrainian army will see to that. Starting in a few weeks, possibly days, from now.

@michaelcoletta4547 : No you’re not. Those people don’t exist. Russian is banned from the curriculum in Ukraine, not the language altogether. They simply stopped teaching it, just as they stopped teaching German in American colleges during WWII. You don’t teach people the tongue of your would be invader. Sends out the wrong, defeatist message. As to 2014. Don’t make me laugh . . . 🙄

@bonnie7898 : Notice, they make it sound as though you could get arrested for merely speaking Russian in Ukraine, when we’re only talking about it being no longer taught in schools and colleges. The irony being that you literally will be arrested in Russia for speaking Ukrainian. And, with their shadow recruitment drive, that means you’ll be on the front lines, running into Ukrainian machine gun fire within a months of being picked up in Moscow. Propagandists like Michael Colette probably think they’re being clever, because their own populations, behind the Iron Curtain, are kept in such ignorance, they have no idea how transparent they seem to us well informed westerners.

@greywolf2622 : China, sure. Though it’s a precarious position they’re in, trying to play nice at both ends of the pitch, so to speak. But, surely it’s more of a mixed bag for India, isn’t it?

@stevealba56 : I think you’re missing the point. Quite aside from the ongoing oil trading with friendly nations that Russia is doing with its fossil fuels, they can only get what the west dictates they can get for it now. And that is no longer a sustainable model for funding their war. It’s one of the sanctions that China and other nations are happily swallowing, as getting unusually cheap oil at artificially low prices makes everyone a winner . . . Everyone except Russia, that is. But the real point here is that the west knows they have to follow through, now that they’ve drawn on Russia, returning hostile intent for their hostile intent. They may well be capable of leaving Ukraine to twist in the wind, but they won’t because that would not be in anyone’s interests. They have tried repeatedly to warn Putin that his constant lies and greedy imperialism would end in tears, but letting him get away with gassing civilians in Syria and invading Crimea was already too much for many in the west, and it became clear to western analysts that such appeasement was the very instrument with which Putin was robbing NATO of its moral authority and international reputation. Since then, NATO has seen by public and political reactions around the globe there is more than just an appetite for putting Putin back in his box. People want to see justice done. And that desire is keeping politicians in power and winning them legitimacy. Once you draw down on your enemy, you cannot afford to let him get back up again. And since Putin’s strongest ally seeks to benefit from his weakening, they will continue to stand by showing the limits of their, “unlimited,” partnership, as they have greedy eyes on the populations of potential break away states. But the NATO countries have seen their power, wealth and security enhanced by Putin’s miscalculation. So, even if Crimea becomes an independent statelet, after UN supervised referenda, Russia will not be allowed to profit this time. The west will make its point by ensuring Putin walks away with less Ukrainian real estate than it started with in February of last year. And it won’t be until that has been achieved (and the Russian guns fall silent) that the US, UK, Poland and Germany will put any real pressure on Zelensky to start serious talks.

“More than,” perhaps? But, “better”? Nah . . . I know seven year olds who are more convincing at gaslighting than that waste of human organs, Lavrov.

@donparkvideos : You did. Just now, madam.
