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.

The problem is , Conventional warfare is dated and not efficient any longer , Hence the USA war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Putin invaded with old junk conventional warfare weaponry by design IMO , I don’t think Putin expected the amount of his own casualties, but he knew there would be a decent amount of casualties going in with old conventional warfare weaponry. I see a lot of people highly doubting Russias technology. I think that was design by Putin as well . You can’t “Shock and Awe” if he had come out from the beginning with Russias modern technological weaponry, people tend to forget that Russia sends astronauts to the moon , Russia has satellites orbiting just like China and the USA , so common sense should tell these people, Russia has weaponry of modern technology, I expect Putin will be bringing out that technological weaponry in the next phase. Not for Ukraine so much , they don’t need to use it in Ukraine to achieve getting Ukraine IMO

What you are saying make sense, but we should be careful that while not Underestimating their capabilities we should not Overestimate it either.

I am sure that their exact capabilities are well known to the other governments in the World hence the fact that they are so hesitant to get in direct confrontation with Russia.

But as capable as Russia might be with modern weaponry, but we can't deny the fact that they really have messed things up with the way that they have conducted this so called operation in Ukraine.

Although they might learn from their mistakes and regroup and reorganize their forces and get them ready for the phase 2 of this operation which is going after some of the Eastern European Countries that are not members of NATO yet.

Just saying what came to my mind,

Things don't come to my mind for no reason,

You all got to agree that something is going to happen as Russia is finding itself it the worse position that any Country wants to be. It doesn't matter that it's their own doing, all that matters to Russia now is to somehow get the upper hand against the West now that it is finding itself on the verge of economical collapse.

When I witness the war crimes and try to comrehend the utter destruction happening in Ukraine, the words cannot be expressed.

Personally, I can come up with a dozen near-apocalyptic scenarios of which Russia would be capable of devising, but it seems almost profane to suggest what Putin might do next, beyond a peaceful resolution. That said, military operations are definitely in US' wheelhouse and hopefully they're prepared for potential conflicts elsewhere (ie. Syria) that may distract from Ukraine or to potentially attack Europe's southern flank if the war were to escalate.

Obviously a peaceful resolution in Ukraine is what we are all hoping for,

But even then that doesn't mean that Russia is going to abandon its larger plans.

It might delay them for a few years until it reorganizes its forces but unless Russia is completely defeated and conquered by the West you should expect them to follow up on their greater ambitions again somewhere down the road.

I agree , don’t overestimate them , but I wouldn’t far underestimate them either , everyone knows they go to orbit and the moon pretty frequent, they have some pretty good satellites in space , so obviously the have some modern tech weaponry, Putin has sand bagged in Ukraine by design and for reasons , what he has done worked , people think Russias military and weaponry technology is a joke . I think Putin has gotten the exact result he was looking for from world leaders and civilians around the world … if Russia has space craft that can right today into orbit safely and accurately, then people should have enough sense to realize they have modern tech weaponry, and nuke missiles than can travel 8000 miles

Do you feel Putin is up for a peaceful resolution considering he has no chance of living if he does that ? That’s the reality of the situation IMO , Putin knows his days of life are short numbered no matter what happens now, as far as Vladimir Putin himself , he knows it’s over for him no matter

 

[.X.]

The NWO has overplayed their card IMO , the Putin situation will either make the NWO, or completely break down the NWO IMO

While Gates , K Schwab , JinPing and the NWO are working their end … I feel Elon Musk and a few other billionaires are working against them very very tactfully

It’s a very opportunistic time to squash the NWO for those fighting against it , I feel the NWO gets one chance and one chance only to deliver, they have been doing it for two years now , if squashed , the NWO will never come to be , and their followers will go down with it IMO

A stalemate is possible (with western support), but a protracted war plays heavily in Russia's favour. IMO, the sanctions are meant to create domestic discord and force the primary orcs to cannibalize themselves, ending in or to avoid a revolution.

Who knows? IMO, these multi-national corporations and mega billionaires ought to be sanctioned to help fund the West's efforts to stop Putin, afterall they have the most $$$$$ to lose.

That first paragraph post is a very good Analogy IMO , well said.

The billionaires fighting against it, don’t need money , they can make billions after defeating the NWO , right now there focus appears on defeating the effort , they have plenty of money

@Cannuck , Justin Trudeau is undoubtedly a player for the NWO , you and your people need to vote him out, impeach him or whatever you do in Canada , the EU doesn’t like him, he is bad news for Canada long term , especially if the NWO loses

Russia suspended from human rights council after UN general assembly vote​

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/07/russia-suspended-un-human-rights-council-ukraine

"Russia has been suspended from the United Nations’s human rights council after its invasion of Ukraine provoked revulsion and outrage around the world.

Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ukraine’s UN ambassador, had introduced the US-initiated resolution before the 193 members of the general assembly vote.

He said Russia has committed “horrific human rights violations and abuses that would be equated to war crimes and crimes against humanity”.

Kyslytsya added: “Russia’s actions are beyond the pale. Russia is not only committing human rights violations, it is shaking the underpinnings of international peace and security.”

Kyslytsya responded to Russia’s complaints about the proceeding, saying: “We have heard, many times, the same perverted logic of the aggressor trying to present itself as the victim.”

I agree, it won’t change anything, neither will all the sanctions , I think Putin had prepared for all of this pretty well .

This is going to go on for a while, not Ukraine , I expect that will be over soon , I think Putin will self contain Russia for a while , China will help , but China is only being so friendly to Putin because they know what’s up and there pretty much isn’t anything they can do about it ultimately.

UN votes to suspend Russia from human rights council over killings in Bucha​

As a Human Rights and Environmental intellectual and activist I always have a hard time trusting the UN in its present form.

A lot of their actions are either just symbolic or are driven to please and cater to special interests and donors.

Although after seeing so much atrocities in Ukraine I understand the need for their latest move,

But what I don't understand is that why there are so many Countries that are members of the Human Rights Council when they officially condone and use torture, cruel and unusual punishment, and extreme violence against their own people even during the peace times.

Sorry about that, it was from a Twitter account with 230k followers so thought it was a credible source.

Still relevant imo, it's not like the swastikas & Nazi flags aren't present in this war.. Other photos from credible sources are being circulated.

The trouble with fake news is that even once seen cannot be unseen, which is why I did not repost the link.

 

[oldtimer]

There really is no need for any proof or pictures, Whenever and Wherever there is a War you should automatically assume that people's Human Rights are being violated in the way of torture, inhuman treatment and interrogations, and abuse and humiliation, not to mention all the killings and executions

The funny thing is that some Countries get away with doing all these things even during the peace times and nobody seems to care about that.

Let's face it United Nations has failed to protect Humanity and this Planet for the past 50 years now.

Budget 2022: $500M in military aid to Ukraine​

OTTAWA - Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland referenced horrific allegations of Russian war crimes on Thursday as the federal Liberal government promised another $500 million in military aid as well as other financial assistance to Ukraine.

“Because they are fighting our fight — a fight for democracy — it is in our urgent national interest to ensure that they have the missiles and the money they need to win. And that is what this budget helps to provide.”

To that end, the budget commits $500 million in both lethal and non-lethal military aid this year, which is on top of the $90 million in anti-tank guns, sniper rifles, night-vision goggles, armoured vests and other military equipment already provided to Ukraine.
