Until a few years ago, countries like France and Germany sold military components to Russia. Recently, Turkey, a NATO member, bought defence systems from Russia. We still buy his oil , gas and metals. And Russia is stopping oil pipelines from Kazakstan to the black Sea. ..... for maintenance 1111 From Exxon Mobil. Are we willing to pay the price for saving Ukraine? I wonder.

Mr. Tom 7 hours ago Before Pootin's invasion of Ukraine, Russian people were welcomed as tourists worldwide. Before Pootin's hallucinations of non-existent NATO attacks, NATO was smaller and spent less on weapons. Before Pootin' imagined Nazis behind every door, the Russian people had great customers for their natural resources in Europe and America. Before Pootin's folly, the West was investing, trading and cooperating with Russia in peace. Before Pootin's war of conquest, tens of thousands of people who were alive are now dead, and billions in infrastructure is destroyed, and millions have become refugees. Go pound sand bro, lol
Putin suffers from short man syndrome or Napoleon complex. Just when humanity was recovering from Covid19 here comes Putin to cause more global crisis. Many third world and middle eastern countries depend on Ukrainian wheat. Putin was blocking harvested grain. The man is weaponizing everything including gas export to Europe this winter to get things his way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex https://www.the-sun.com/news/5026507/vladimir-putin-napoleon-complex/ The image-conscious Russian despot could join Napoleon, Hitler, and Stalin as failed leaders whose short stature is thought to have provoked bloody conflict in Europe. Evolutionary psychologists Professor Abraham Buunk and Professor Mark van Vugt argue Putin - who has been reported to be as small as 5ft 2in - suffers a bad case of Napoleon Complex. It is a psychological phenomenon thought to have been experienced by the French emperor, who was often depicted as being short. The theory goes that some insecure smaller men tend to be more aggressive and domineering and seek ruthless means to assert their power over others. And it looks like the deeply self conscious Putin is exhibiting tell-tale symptoms. Putin has been snapped seemingly wearing chunky high heeled shoes, and potentially even wearing lifts to boost his height. Prof van Vugt, from VU University Amsterdam has analysed Putin's actions and says the tiny tyrant is adopting ruthless tactics like poisonings and warfare to "compensate for his lack of physical strength". Putin's insecurities can also be plainly seen in the hardman image he desperately tries to portray with stunts such as his judo fights and posing shirtless. Prof van Vugt told The Sun Online: "He wants to come across as a strong leader. "The way he poses for the camera, all these pictures of him bare chested, playing ice-hockey, hunting. "They are all the kind of things you see in someone who is not secure in their power position and that may be the result of his short stature - the more dominant, authoritarian kind of strategies to be taken seriously." rof van Vugt added that the tyrant's Napoleon Complex also extends to his views of Russia has a whole. The expert told The Sun Online: "The Napoleon Complex applies both to his short stature but also the tactics of a country with a leader who knows they have lost a place in the world as a superpower and want to get that back so they revert to these sorts of tactics because they feel that they are neglected or ignored." Prof Buunk backs up those claims, adding Putin also fits the bill when its comes to his paranoia about the West and NATO. "He is more paranoid than tall people because, as a short person, he can see all types of dangers because he would have always felt threatened by tall people around him and needed to do something to attain status and power," said the academic form the University of Groningen. Putin also suffers from overconfidence and has narcissistic traits that the professional psychologists say have got him into trouble into Ukraine - underestimating the will of resistance. Prof van Vugt said short men suffering the complex are generally very threatened and will double down if provoked. "That is also where the Napoleon Complex kicks in and you need to resort to other tactics, such a pure brutal force to level the playing field," he said. "He has invested too much to quit [Ukraine], which is typical of these short men. They are so overconfident that they’re not willing to see reality anymore." He added: "Putin is deeply concerned that Russia has lost its superpower status and that’s what he wants to compensate for and he won’t stop until there is some restoration of Russia as a strong nation. "And of course his short stature doesn’t help in the emotional decisions he needs to make." Putin's insecurity about his height has seen him allegedly wear heeled shoes in public.
I have more respect for the president of Ukraine than for former President Trump. Zelenski is putting his life on the line to help his country. He didn`t run when Ukraine was invaded. I also respect the Ukrainians for defending their country. They are demonstrating that they do not want to be part of Russia.
You don't know what alliances mean or political comity. Most democracies tend to stand up for other democracies.
He did a great speech at the Capitol yesterday evening. Of the 213 GOP members of Congress only 87 shown up. Of the 86 only 2 did not stand in applause.
This clown is worse than Putin, he's zionist. FH. I don't understand why Ukrainians chose him as their leader.
Do your research bro on Zionism, particularly after the Holocaust. If Zelenskyy is a Ziomist, how does that make him worse than Putin?
And Churchill was an imperialist who wanted to keep the British empire. Echoes of Putin's ideas on the break upof the USSR.
Putin killed Ukrainian humanity and too cowardly to have troops to fight them fairly. He is nothing more than a feckless human being. In my country some with right wing beliefs like LePen criticize Zelenskyy. Vladimir has friends in the GOP.
