Wait, wait. Does California have trillions and trillions of dollars of commodities Russia has? You cannot compare these things directly. Despite the sanctions, Russia is doing OK. Maybe not great but OK. They have partners such as China, India and Brazil. And much of Africa. I could go on.LOL! Pooh Bear must be paying by the post today. The entire Russian economy, oligarch looting and all, is a little over half the size of California's. The Russian indiustrial base is a hollowed out, rusted out Soviet leftover.
I don't like him or any of these guys. It doesn't change the fact that America is pushing him towards China.MBS? You sure like your violent psychopaths.
Trillions in the ground that requires time and expertise to extract don't mean squat when you already started a war that is killing off the folks who should be home doing the extracting.Wait, wait.

Since you’re not an American as far as I can tell I wouldn’t concern yourself with Biden’s diplomacy. Mind your own business.If the West wants to remain strong at the world stage, it must work with other parts of the globe, even if it disagrees with them politically or culturally. Biden has been making remarks about MBS so it's no surprise that Saudi Arabia is now pursuing an anti-American policy a little bit. I don't understand why America is pushing its allies away like that.
I'd be happier if we were pushing him into his grave.I don't like him or any of these guys. It doesn't change the fact that America is pushing him towards China.
Well, I care about the world and America's bully behavior is very reckless. The world has seen this for decades now. And this world is my business. Other parts of the world want to trade and live their lives, not to be bullied or lectured by the West.Since you’re not an American as far as I can tell I wouldn’t concern yourself with Biden’s diplomacy.

Fair point but all it takes is some investments and it seems like that is already happening.Trillions in the ground that requires time and expertise to extract don't mean squat when you already started a war that is killing off the folks who should be home doing the extracting.
Russian oligarchs investing in Russia during a ruinous war? Hehe. I've got a yacht to sell you.Fair point but all it takes is some investments and it seems like that is already happening.
Since the West has suddenly and illegally blocked them or have taken their assets, where else would they invest their money? Plus you have China and maybe even India interested in investing in Russia well.Russian oligarchs investing in Russia during a ruinous war? Hehe. I've got a yacht to sell you.
Ahh, so the west is smug when they tell other people what to do but you’re fine telling America what to do.Well, I care about the world and America's bully behavior is very reckless.

War needs to be ended by fascist Russia pulling out of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.Why should Slavic cousins fight each other? It is terrible. War needs to be ended immediately.
Countries should not be telling other countries what to do. Work towards mutual benefit, trade and help humanity. The West has a long, long history of terrible behavior at the world stage and it is still continuing to this day. That is why organizations such as the BRICS, SCO, ASEAN and others have formed. They need their own trading partners and allies without Western interference.Ahh, so the west is smug when they tell other people what to do but you’re fine telling America what to do.
No country wants to fight Russia, they just don't want them attacking them.Zelensky and his minions may want to fight. The Eastern part of Ukraine, Dontesk and Luhansk regions, most likely have no desire to fight Russia. And many others probably harbor some cultural affinity towards Russia too. But when leaders drag people into these situations, what can they military men do? Not fight?
It seems like the West does not care about Ukrainian lives. I am not surprised, especially after the human tragedy of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syrian wars.
You are right, war needs to end right now. Both sides need to come to the table and a deal by a neutral side must be negotiated. It has to be a fair deal for all parties.War needs to be ended by Facisit Russia pulling out of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.
Yes, Ukraine and Russia are cousins, no need to fight. Ukraine's governments since the 2014 Maidan coup have led their people down. This doesn't mean I support Russian invasion of Ukraine. War is wrong regardless.No country wants to fight Russia. They just don't want them attacking them.
As long as Ukraine gives up their land right? All of what was taken from them? And should they just trust that Russia won’t just take more later?You are right, war needs to end right now. Both sides need to come to the table and a deal by a neutral side must be negotiated. It has to be a fair deal for all parties.
You do support Russia keeping what they gained by invading though so… you do support it.Yes, Ukraine and Russia are cousins, no need to fight. Ukraine's governments since the 2014 Maidan coup have led their people down. This doesn't mean I support Russian invasion of Ukraine. War is wrong regardless.
The Russians decided there was a need to fight because Russia has a long history of invading its neighbors.Yes, Ukraine and Russia are cousins, no need to fight.

I am not part of the negotiating team so I don't know what the final terms will be. But both sides have to stop fighting immediately. No more Ukrainian or Russian lives lost.You do support Russia keeping what they gained by invading though so… you do support it.
Russia can have that happen tomorrow if they want, all they have to do is end the illegal invasion.I am not part of the negotiating team so I don't know what the final terms will be. But both sides have to stop fighting immediately. No more Ukrainian or Russian lives lost.
Is teaching Russia a lesson the key point of this whole war for the West? They are using Ukrainians as cannon fodder it seems. If you feel so strongly about Russia, go and attack them. Why use poor Ukrainians to do your fighting?The Russians decided there was a need to fight because Russia has a long history of invading its neighbors.
In the interests of peace it’s an important thing to teach Russia a lesson they will not forget for a long time. The destruction of their army will ensure they think twice before invading their neighbors again.
No one is using Ukrainians for their fighting, Russia invaded Ukraine and the west is helping them defend themselves. If Ukraine doesn’t want to fight they don’t have to, but they do. Russia doesn’t like it they can leave Ukraine any time they want.Is teaching Russia a lesson the key point of this whole war for the West? They are using Ukrainians as cannon fodder it seems.
