Right!

And the really bad part is BRICS... with Argentina already added, and like forty other nations applying.

BRICS might be taking a while to settle in together. But the settle-in time is giving them more opportunity to work out all kinds of little details. They will be stronger than ever when they get done.

Will the US ever realize that BRICS won't be about money once it is fully formed? When will they see that BRICS is ultimately about taking over the world?

It's quiet astonishing watching you finally come to this realization that US is just using Ukraine to maximize Russia's losses. Yet interesting that you're still holding out hope on that last part, and clinging  to an idea that Nuland just incorrectly measured the problem, and US just continues to mis-measure for over 600+ days now. Denial is a natural response and based on a desire for self-preservation, as accepting the alternative is still just too diabolic for a mind to cope with.


And not just Russia, China has been doing exactly that as well. That's the problem of letting the precedents slide and only addressing them when someone else does it, oh they did it too? then lets start with them, logic. Calling wars "operations", having PMCs, and now China can fully blockade Taiwan (until Taiwanese military gave up all of their food, water and fuel) and apparently that wont be a war crime now.

^^^ The interesting thing is that Russians are not stupid. Their people are watching everything that the American military does. Then they copy and improve... if they don't happen to already have something better.

One nation just gets to decide if and how another nation gets to participate in global trade. But you are technically correct, if you try to bring medicine into Cuba not cleared by US, US navy will not shoot you down now. They'll sanction you and everyone up the chain, including distributors up to and including the manufacturer of said medicine, essentially bankrupting everyone. So not a military blockade, just a financial one. Same results, different wording.

So once again good ol' American exceptionalism, so US has been doing this for 60years even during the time of peace, whole world has been against it for 31yrs now, but of course we all are activated  to suddenly care very deeply about Ukrainian freedoms , and surely a good place to remedy this after it's has been going on for 60yrs, would be to start with...Russia during its current ongoing conflict, the biggest offender right?

Taking this even further they're now trying to set a precedent that even straight up blockading food, energy and fuel (effectively disabling all hospitals) to a whole region, is apparently now is not a war crime, as long as that nation still has military which uses fuel and food (which technically military cannot exist without). Seems like Ukraine abstained from telling Israel to fuck off on that too now, but let's all close our eyes on this one too and only get activated and take a position when someone who you don't support does it right? Pretty much the definition of a double standards, but who cares about rules and laws now.

Ability to export goods for financial benefit during the conflict is the least of my concerns. But for the record I'm against cutting power and not allowing inspected fuel (through red cross or similar) to power the hospital generators (even if military might still have some fuel!), regardless if it's in Gaza or in Ukraine.

If US  and other countries like Germany would supply what Ukraine asks for, we would see different view. Just remember how much time and efforts it took it took until Ukraine got Leopards, ATACMS, Storm Shadow, I'm not even talking about F16. And even after they got these things, it comes with limitations, likethey're not getting missiles with longest possible range. And Germany is still aren't giving Taurus. With all these inside games they gave Russia times to build defense lines, set up proper logistics, make mobilization and etc. And then someone is surprised that ''counteroffensive failed''.

Not just Kerch. There was serious ''arrival'' in occupied Sedove https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1721235952448774536. It's about 100km away from front line. It was ammunition depot and some sources says that russians kept helicopters there too.

Nice interpretation of text. You only forgot to tell that Zelensky is a drug addict and that would be perfect combination.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has hit a frigate in Kerch and there are indications that an airfield has been hit in Rostov=on-don. The first one is a new ship that was "about to be finished", so I guess Ukraine thought a good idea to actually "finish it". The airport hit is not confirmed but the explosions in the are certainly are - there are several S-400 in the are so that may be a possibility too - they are good at intercepting missiles by waiting in the ground for them.

Glad you're having fun. In the article by Simon Schuster, Zelensky is presented as an inadequate madman, divorced from reality, who imagines himself to be a messiah who must save Europe and the whole world from the Russian threat. It kind of reminds me of Hitler in the bunker, giving orders to his now defunct troops as the Russians approach Berlin. In the context of Zaluzhny’s interview, who admitted the failure of the counter-offensive and the lack of understanding of how to win this conflict, all this looks very shitty for Ukraine.

I think that the articles themselves are more related to selling newspapers than providing a honest depiction of the Ukrainian government working and state of things. Ukraine is simply requesting a honest support from the US. Not "just enough to hold" which seems to be what the US is doing right now. I am quite convinced that if the US wanted they would push much harder, but they are quite happy seeing the Ruzzian army burn through their stockpiles, which would not happen if the war was clearly in favour of one of the parts.

I am not sure US is measuring clearly the problems that Ukraine is facing.

LOL, here we go again with wet dream about taking Kyiv
With such kind of articles it seems that someone is trying to destabilize situation inside Ukraine that heads of country of army would start to look for enemies among each other. And again we see attempts to push idea of peace talks with Russia. There is also talks that Ukraine should hold president elections next year in war conditions and seems that Arestovich already started his elections campaign.
Fact that less US people support sending weapons to Ukraine is normal thing IMO. War is going one for more than 1.5 years and people  got war fatigue, what is probably normal reaction, especially when you're thousands km from frontline and when war in Israel is getting more attention is Western edia now.

Watch the video in this link to see why Ukraine is having any success at all. The video shows Putin even recognizing this. We're on the verge of extending life for us all into the several hundred year range. If Putin is right, Ukraine is using this stuff on its troops right now.

Note that I had a difficult time downloading this video. I don't know why. Maybe it had to do with a large number of people downloading at the same time. Or, if you are conspiracy minded, maybe the genetics controllers don't want the video out there. It took me about 6 or 8 attempts before I finally got it.

It does not seem that Ukraine is having logistical problems in any of the places you mention. They are all either holding well, even ridiculously large meat assaults like in the case of Avdiivka or even with morderate Ukranian gains like near Robotyne.

It would be quite interesting for Ukraine to hold both banks of the dniper for many reasons. Just like Ruzzia is not very happy about having large cities in the east in artillery range of Ukraine, Ukraine is not too happy about having Kherson so close to the frontlines. This crossing as of now is just a border shaping operation, with very close artillery positions in the west bank, if you are already imagining large groups crossing and taking all the villages in the east bank... well, who knows...

Yeah, often times I begin to wonder why the international community like the UN suddenly loss concentration and attention towards Ukraine - Russia War, could it be that they care less about finding a lasting resolution between Ukraine - Russia? Though the US has been the highest donor to Ukraine since the war begun but I feel they ain't too involved in ascertaining a lasting solution to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Ever since the War between Israel and Hamas started, US seems to have channeled all their concentration and attention to Israel leaving Ukraine and Russia at their own fate. Even some broadcasting stations like the CNN no longer give more updates on Russia-Ukraine war but rather they've focused all their energy on updates about Israel and Hamas war. Could it be that they are being sentimental about Ukraine - Russia war?

I'm just pointing out how ridiculous your rhetoric is. Making up "blockade" where there isn't one. Talking about self-determination that is one-way only etc. I'm all for free trade. You're for free trade for Cuba but obviously not for Ukraine's grain, amirite?

Not sure why exactly "the whole world voted" the way it did, but I don't disagree. Let's start with Russia fucking off Ukraine, which "the whole world voted" for too, then we can get to US lifting embargo off Cuba, and eventually world peace. I'll leave the implementation details to you, geopolitical genius that you are.

Ah right, this vote was about taking away US's right to self determination, how silly of me not to see it that way. But, only now even if we follow your silly logic we have an even more inconvenient question to answer, why would the whole world vote for taking US's right to self determination away? But something is telling me that you won't answer this, it's inconvenient to have people with critical thinking that follow logic ask such difficult questions, a good tactic would be to become more arrogant and offensive, anything to draw attention away from the question. Or perhaps ask a rhetorical question back, for example like, why do you think a country would want to trade with a global hegemony and printer for global reserve currency (when they always have an option to starve). And the fact that anyone who touches global reserve currency (USD) falls under this unilateral embargo and can get sanctioned, and the shortages of food and medicine in Cuba are all just unfortunate coincidences, right? Perhaps they should hire you to reeducate the world population with your boundless depth of knowledge?

Israel is currently at war and needs US support which they're getting. US jets actively attack nations that supply Palestine like Syria and Iran, so they're a part of this war, although they don't want to admit it, so Israel kissed the ring by voting with the US.
Ukraine wants to get supplied by US and were afraid that if they vote with their conscience (against the US), they'll get less support, but also did not want to get less support from the EU that voted against the US, so they kissed the ring in their own way. Ukraine showed it knows voting with the US is wrong, but was too afraid to do so.

Of course there is nothing to worry about here. I think Ukraine has more than enough logistical problems with supplying its troops in Kupyansk, Seversk, Avdeevka and Rabotino to add logistical problems with supplying any large-scale group in the Kherson region on the left bank of the Dnieper.

Comrade, you got tangled up in the verbal diarrhea of your righteous anger. Trade implies mutual "self determination" to engage in said trade, and the US used its "right to self determination" to not trade with Cuba. Perhaps you should ask yourself why is it that Cuba (and most countries for that matter) wants to trade with the US so much, and not with e.g. Russia, the richest country in the world.

Also there is no "blockade".

And it has nothing to do with Putin's invasion into Ukraine but nice try at deflection.

what's Israel got to do with Cuba that it has the entitlement to vote against? and there's one who abstains lol Ukraine for christ sake. what trading do they have with Cuba?  the country has been blocked for more than 50 years and presumably, there is no way that the government of Cuba gonna be friendly to the US in any way which will surely be trading with China and Russia. Castro still pays the price even after his death. 

Russia is moving forward according to some news, jesus they are pushing it all. does it look like Israel is taking Gaza while Russia is taking Ukraine, fair deal?

Ohh the irony, once again the whole world overwhelmingly votes against US Cuba embargo. As usual US and Israel voted against that, but only now we also have a new absentee. Care to guess who abstained to vote if an independent nation of Cuba should have the right to self determination and be able to trade with the rest of the world without blockades? The double standards are off the charts

Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba

Looks like Zelensky is going down the tubes himself. The Biden group tried to combine financial relief for Ukraine in a package that included financial relief for Israel. Why? To get some more money for Ukraine that the rest of America seems to NOT want to happen.


Volodymyr Zelensky Is in a Sea of Troubles

https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/volodymyr-zelensky-is-in-a-sea-of-troubles/
The first is that his country is actually receiving much less media attention. For the past month, international attention has been drawn away from his war to another.

The second is that he is confronting growing resistance in the U.S. House of Representatives. President Joe Biden's plan to tie aid to Ukraine and aid to Israel together is both a tactical maneuver to ensure continued congressional support for Ukraine and an admission that that support can no longer be taken for granted.

But the fact is that Zelensky is facing a sea of troubles, not only from foreign shores, but from domestic ones as well. That sea change comes from his inner circle, from the citizens of Ukraine, and from the battlefield.

A small number of current and former members of Zelensky's inner circle have gone public with concerning criticisms of the president.

Time magazine reports that in the face of "setbacks on the battlefield"—an understatement for the disastrous counteroffensive—Zelensky's "belief in Ukraine's ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers," saying, concerningly, that it "verg[es] on the messianic." One of Zelensky's "closest aides" said that Zelensky "deludes himself." The aide complained, "We're out of options. We're not winning. But try telling him that."
