Not exactly, China needs the west to buy their products to keep their economy strong, if they went against the west, they’re a third world country again with no money or food to care for their people.You are not the only one thinking along those lines. Russia and China are both bastard dictatorships, they'd love nothing more than the collapse of Western Civilisation.
We will not let that happen at whatever the cost.
There will be many who don't want war, of course. But they'll be ignored, or arrested and locked away if they cause trouble. People in Russia don't have the freedom of rights or expression that we enjoy. They are a dictatorship. Many younger Russians have only known putin and its heavily indoctrinated in their schools, etcThat's been the case in the past, but for this wouldn't they have been preparing for 10+ years and have new more reliable equipment that won't malfunction as much as it did during Afghanistan?
I wonder what % of Russians want this war? Lots must do and have swallowed up the propaganda.
He's in an impossible situation, and he's really proving his mettle.Watching Zelensky speak live now, he’s asking for help again and looks exhausted
My fear would be that Putin is waiting for NATO to become involved. If this happens will it bring China in on Putin‘s side? If that happens might we have all out war in Europe?Who would win if it was Nato vs Russia?

Totally agree. Most presidents would be straight out. The afghan president was straight out wasn't he? Zlensky is a real hero. Th3 same as the Klitcko brothers, amazing xZelensky is an absolute hero. I really hope he makes it out of this so he can rebuild with his people.
I agree, I'm all for peace but I fully believe in standing up to bullies. If you're attacked you absolutely have the right to defend yourself. This is a situation most of us haven't seen in our lifetimes, only our grandparents/great grandparents would have seen something like this.He's in an impossible situation, and he's really proving his mettle.
A lot of people say he should have left Kyiv, but really he had no choice in the matter. That would have hugely demoralised Ukraine, and would have been what Russia wanted. They could have played on that, and anyone who thinks Russia would just have strolled in and not caused any harm is I'm sorry, woefully naive. Ukrainians are fighting for their country, and many will remember what life was like for them in the USSR (not a barrel of laughs, that's for sure). They've seen what's happened in Chechnya, in South Ossetia and other places.
He's a dead man walking any which way, or do people not remember what Russia does to dissidents? Remember what Russia did in Salisbury?! Litvinenko? They poisoned Yushchenko, former president of Ukraine.
Even if they allowed him to live it would not be a happy life. I'm a big old peacenik, but he wasn't the one who invaded another country, and attacked it's people, their children.
Putin knows he can’t just execute another president. That’s why he didn’t just get Zelensky killed. Yes he did have people poisoned but they were Russian citizens etc. if he could have solved this so easily he wouldn’t have started this war.He's in an impossible situation, and he's really proving his mettle.

Exactly, if he had fled that could have easily led to the whole country being taken in hours as people give up.A lot of people say he should have left Kyiv, but really he had no choice in the matter. That would have hugely demoralised Ukraine, and would have been what Russia wanted.
China abstained from voting on a UN resolution to condemn Russia. This has been seen as China openly withdrawing their support from Russia. Russia is being abandoned by everyoneMy fear would be that Putin is waiting for NATO to become involved. If this happens will it bring China in on Putin‘s side? If that happens might we have all out war in Europe?
From the information seen so far I would say most Russians do not want this war and have not been consulted about it.
If this is the case it might be prudent to see the invasion as the Kremlin and Putin - not Russia. I fear that Ukraine might be just a stepping stone for where Putin wants to get to. I wish there was a bit more news on the cyber war that must be going on. I don’t think we can only judge on what we can see.
Praying for Ukraine and Russians who do not want this war, and for EVERYONE traumatised by these events.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge (still learning) but could this set him off even more ? Should France not have left this alone ? I'm so glad they did intervine and take it but I worry about the littlest things
One thing I find reassuring with the cyber warfare is that Anonymous is going for Russia. I'm comforting myself with the notion that while Russian hackers would've had their targets, with Anonymous laying siege to official sites, they're going to be a little distracted trying to stop them.My fear would be that Putin is waiting for NATO to become involved.

I fail to see how the following is NOT a support of Putin's invasion:Trump didn't say invading Ukraine was genius and savvy.
He was talking about the strategy to declare the separatist regions of the Ukraine independent, this was before the full scale invasion.
Yes, Trump Called Putin's Ukraine Strategy 'Savvy' and 'Genius'
However, the former U.S. president did not publicly condone the Russian invasion of Ukraine.www.snopes.com
That "fact check" anti tory Instagram account a few pages ago is the pits. It's repeating half-truths or things out of context that suits their agenda all while masquerading as facts and the truth. This doesn't help anyone. It's just someone in their bedroom looking for cash donations.
