analysis World War III

[oldtimer]

I believe that President Biden was right when he said that Russia is going to Invade Ukraine.

Any intelligent person is going to come to the same conclusion knowing that Russia has already decided to pay any price imposed on it by the West through sanctions.

Short of full military confrontation by the West there is nothing that can make Russia to change its mind as they see this as a golden opportunity to resurrect the once powerful superpower that was equal to the USA.

But Russia’s ambitions are not going to stop with taking over Ukraine since it already has made plans to increase its sphere of influence to Asia, Middle East, and South America and perhaps the whole World knowing that the West is most likely not going to do anything beyond just imposing sanctions which ultimately will hurt the West itself by effecting the Global economy in an adverse way the longer that they go on.

I personally don’t like any of the old ideologies, philosophies, and doctrines of Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Religious Fundamentalism and all the other “ism” that are derived from the bad human characteristics of Greed, Lust, Hate, Cruelty, Jealousy, Prejudice, and lack of Empathy and that have been infringing on our rights in one way or another throughout the history because they can only exist through supporting inequality, oppression, suppression, torture, killing, and War.

When it comes to saving the World the last thing that I want to see is the further expansion of these old systems that have all already proven to be a failure in dealing with the existential problems that are currently facing Humanity and the Environment.

We don’t want all these political, Religious, and Racial parties and groups to resurrect their past, we want something new that can propel the World into the next Era that is based on the Universal Principles and Values that have been derived through Logic and Compassion and not through Force and Violence.

By “We” I mean all the Intelligent, Righteous, and Peace loving people of the World.

Russia Uses Advanced Hypersonic Missiles in Ukraine for the First Time​

Russia used its newest Kinzhal hypersonic missiles for the first time in Ukraine on Friday to destroy a weapons storage site in the country's west, the Defense Ministry said.

Russia has never before admitted using the high-precision weapon in combat, and state news agency RIA Novosti said it was the first use of the Kinzhal hypersonic weapons during the conflict in pro-Western Ukraine.

"The Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles destroyed a large underground warehouse containing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region," the Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday.

A message in the group chat of my village, on the outskirts of #Kyiv: “My mother was killed and she is laying on the stairs of our house. I need to get her body somehow. I understand that it can be problematic… but what should I do?”

A Russian version of McDonald's in the works.

Russia aims to open its own version of McDonald's with similar logo after U.S. chain pulls out​

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/russia-mcdonald-s-logo-1.6389887​

Reminds me of McDowell's on Coming To America, they've just rotated the McDonald's logo so it's a 'B'

Clear case of copyright infringement, but what can McDonald's do? Russia don't care about that, who's going to close them down?

 

[oldtimer]

I understand that Ukraine is ready to bring this conflict to an end by meeting some of Russia's security demands,

So far no one has been able to put an end to all the bombings,

Knowing that President Putin is a religious man I was wondering if anyone has asked Jesus to intervene and bring this horrible situation of human suffering to an end.

If not I ask in the name of Jesus for all sides to end all hostilities Today and try to find a Peaceful settlement that is agreeable to both Russia and Ukraine through direct talks.

Something you may not know.
Some Ukrainians come to Moldova on expensive cars, screaming 'Slava Ukraini' took our flag and have draw it in their colors because we have one additional Red color, also they were screaming 'I m at home' you think this is normal behavior?
Why they run from their country instead of stay and fight for it? Isn't it weird, from where they have money?
One family paid a local around 3K EUR to stay for 5 months, with this money you can rent a home for more than a year.
A bunch of low lives that will not intent to learn official Language, they live here Russians and Ukrainians for many years and still wait that we Romanians speak their crappy Language.
I m looking for the video and post it here.
I also consider that all countries should attack Russia from all sides, for all their doing during all this years!
EDIT
Found the video where a drunk female is saying obscene words to Police officers and that she is at home.

The time has come for free nations to provide weapons to the Ukrainians that Putin's puppets are using against the sovereign soil of Ukraine. A threat of escalation is all the Napoleon 'wanna be' understands.

Enough said. You don't seem to be very clear about what you're really saying.

Ukraine can have their labs for pathogen research, as every country in this world. You know, labs need to study pathogens in order to develop a treatment against them.

Another very different thing is to say that they have bio-weapons. That's what the conspiracists are actually saying, just parroting Putin's propaganda misinformation.

I cited facts, you think the truth hurts your cause. Having bio-labs and anthrax isn't a justification for an invasion.

Blame Joe Biden who partnered with Putin and was so reluctant to endanger his partnership, told the world, The USA would not respond to a minor incursion into Ukraine by Russia.

Diplomatically, that was a signed permission. Focus on what is actually happening instead of the propaganda.

Why has Joe Biden asked Venezuela, Putin's closest ally in south America to sell the USA more oil instead of Canada, our next door neighbor and NATO ally?

This whole topic started because a current US Senator called a former US Senator, Tulsi Gabbard, a traitor for suggesting a cease-fire to protect Ukraine and prevent Russia from taking possession of the bio-labs.

Russia would have used that as propaganda to further justify their war.

Another very different thing is to say that they have bio-weapons. That's what the conspiracists are actually saying, just parroting Putin's propaganda misinformation.

Do you want to be right, or do you want to the truth?

Yes, there are individuals everywhere, but often my countrymen have funds on completely legal grounds and a lot of very help from caring people and charitable organizations. we left Mariupol two weeks ago and lost almost everything, and yet we intend to get out. would you stay if nearby residential buildings are fired and your hometown where you grew up burned down?


It’s good that there is grandfather’s apartment in Kramatorsk, otherwise they would have stayed in Mariupol and it’s not known what would have happened ... today they brought gasoline to the city but failed to refuel (

Gordon Brown and John Major back Nuremberg-style tribunal for Putin​

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...-back-nuremberg-style-tribunal-vladimir-putin

"The former UK prime ministers Gordon Brown and Sir John Major are among those calling for the creation of a new international tribunal to investigate Vladimir Putin and those who helped plan his invasion of Ukraine.

It was vital to ensure, eight decades on from the trials of Nazi war criminals, that there was “a day of reckoning for Putin”, said Brown.

Launched with a website and a target of 2 million petition signatures, the campaign – which has already been backed by 740,000 people around the world – seeks to gain public support for a special tribunal modelled on the Nuremberg trials.

The proposal already has more than 140 signatories, including both former prime ministers; the Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba; the professor of international law Philippe Sands QC; Benjamin Ferencz, a former prosecutor for the Nuremberg military tribunal; Helena Kennedy QC; and Sir Nicolas Bratza, a former president of the European court of human rights.

This week, Ukrainian officials accused Russian forces of further atrocities in the besieged city of Mariupol, including an airstrike on a theatre where hundreds of displaced people were believed to have been sheltering, and a strike on a swimming pool where pregnant women and young children had gathered.

Russian forces were also accused of shelling a convoy of cars of civilians fleeing the city."

West must not normalise relations with Putin again, says Boris Johnson​

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/19/west-putin-russia-ukraine-war-boris-johnson

"... describing the Kremlin’s actions “a vicious and a barbarian attack on innocent civilians, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 1940s”.

He warned that if Russia were to succeed in Ukraine then it would be the end of freedom in Ukraine, would mean the “extinction of any hope of freedom” in Moldova and Georgia, and would represent a “green light to autocrats everywhere”.

“I know there are some around the world, even in some western governments … who say that we’re better off making accommodations with tyranny. I believe they are profoundly wrong and to try to renormalise relations with Putin after this, as we did in 2014, would be to make exactly the same mistake.”

Giving his own analysis of Putin’s motives in invading Ukraine, Johnson said it was because the Russian leader was frightened of having a democratic neighbour with a free press and free elections.

“You have to ask yourself why he did it – why did he decide to invade this totally innocent country?

“He didn’t really believe that Ukraine was going to join Nato any time soon, he knew perfectly well there was no plan to put missiles on Ukrainian soil.

“He didn’t really believe the semi-mystical guff he wrote about the origins of the Russian people ... Nostradamus meets Russian Wikipedia. That wasn’t what it was about.

“I think he was frightened of Ukraine for an entirely different reason. He was frightened of Ukraine because in Ukraine they have a free press and in Ukraine they have free elections.”

I talk to God and Jesus right often , but I also revisit “Revelations” in the Bible , much of what we have seen and are seeing was written and has been in the Holy Bible far before any of us were born , even though you will have Atheist
and Agnostic dispute the revaluations , the prophesies that have taken place are right in in front their eyes if they read Revelations , and written before they were even thought about .. the written Revelations will be Prophesied as they were written . And many have been Prophesied over the last 4 decades , many have been extremely excellerated over the last 2 years . IMO

Can't work out what is going off there.

But one thing Ukraine have used well is UAV's, videos i've watched of Ukrainians taking Russian tanks out with a Turkish made UAV's, proves that UAV/UCAV's can be just as good as jet planes.

Also read another article a few days ago how this war could render tanks obsolete, I'm not so sure about that personally, they was used to good effect in the Iraq/Afghanistan but Russia shouldn't use tanks anymore going by this conflict, they've had nothing but problems with them.
