  1. Before this war, my country France made the most shrilling noises about an european army and a collective defense. Since the war, it's total silence beside trying to suck up to Poutine as we have been doing since 2014 and even way back since the russian aggression against Georgia. Smaller countries like the Netherlands, far away Australia, Poland, the Czech republic etc... have made more significant military contributions to Ukraine than France.

  2. What you just said is so true, so clear and almost commonsensical. That some people chose to ignore it is stunning to me.

  3.  @dixonpinfold2582  PPP is a joke. No govt uses it not even the russian govt. Nominal GDP is the only eeficient an time tested tool to measure a country's economic growth and economic power. 100% of the world's govts and 100% of world economic intuitions use it. BTW, South Korea has a higher GDP than russia. SK produces higher value added products for the masses of the world, while russia produces mostly natural ressources like Venezuela or Iran.

  4.  @dixonpinfold2582  BTW, what I had retained from the 1st commenter and what I had agreed on was the IMPERIAL necessity of not allowing russia have its way in Ukraine. If we do, the world is f...ked. Nothing can stops sick egocentric egomaniac people such as Putin and deep pain. The kind that can come only from a crushing defeat in Ukraine. Believe it's even in the interest of russian people since they can't seem to be able to get rid of Putin an he has torn the russian constitution into a toilet paper by arranging it so he can stay in power till 2036. That will be a total of about 37 years in power. This very african. Like Mobutu and Bokassa of Africa. If he gets his way in Ukraine, he will reposition and COME BACK for Moldavia, the entire Ukraine, Georgia and many a NATO country. He cannot stop himself.

  5.  @dixonpinfold2582  PPP is more or less an internal SOCIAL tool but really it's NOT a viable economic tool. That' why no serious govt uses it internationally.
