when the pendulum swings too much to one side, it's inevitable it swings back in the opposite direction. hardliners on both sides need to take a back seat for a change.

This vote is a mandate to eliminate that threat.

Putin will do pretty well there is what the TV pundits and pollsters are saying.

I'm sure he will since most Ukrainians have fled, been killed or forced out.

Wonder what the odds on Putin losing are.

In a one horse race..

Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz outright refusal to supply Ukraine its huge stockpile of Taurus long-range cruise missiles, and President Macron empty boots policy has provided/convinced Putin EU/UK simply does not have the stomach, or the courage to defend Eastern Europe when threatened.

absolutely! It is a democracy at work however, and not everyone will agree all the time.

But to outwardly show a such a lack of cohesion in the face of a clear and present danger is very disappointing.

We cannot continue to be afraid of what "might" happen and look at what is happening. A tyrant is threatening the world with nuclear annihilation if he doesn't get his way. All the while attacking cities and displacing millions, indiscriminate killings by his troops. If the collective west blinks now, it will only be seen as weakness by those that wish us harm.

a great article. This issue should be held politically agnostic when it comes to protecting small farmers and de incentivizing industrial scale farming.

Not looking good…

For Iowa corn farmers that backed ethanol production.

Nothing to do with food on the table and even less to do with regards to international politics and trade relations between the USA and Japan.

If you're a farmer or run a small manufacturing business, yes

Can you please elaborate on this? genuinely would like to know.

Posted in: NATO's biggest drills since Cold War send signal to Russia See in context

NATO warmongers knows that once they send soldiers at UA and they will start attack Russia this will be the END for everyone.

Sooo if NATO sends troops to help defend Ukraine from invasion by russia, then russia would nuke everyone?

But I suspect, NATO isn't willing to risk a full nuclear exchange with Russia.

seems that maybe that bluff needs to be called some day.

Great news! kremlin boot lickers will rightly want to play down the significance of this historic occasion as it is one more allied against the dictator, Ukraine will inevitably join NATO if it wishes to and there is nothing Putin can do about it,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we heard that crap for over 70 years

You may or may not be surprised but a fair chunk of the world actually hates the US and it's allies are definitely starting to look at alternatives.

Posted in: Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa kills 7 See in context

It is true the Ukrainians are on the back foot, but I do not hear any talk coming from them about surrender or capitulation.

As for the undermanned part, yes they are a smaller nation than russia but they sure gave the russians a bloody nose, much respect!

Outgunned goes with the territory and they have learnt to adapt quite well.

Can they win this war? probably not, but they are willing to go down swinging.

The "right wing" Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

If the USA backs away from this, they deserve to lose all respect and will fall just like the empires of past.

Posted in: NATO's nuclear deterrent must be real for Finland, says new president See in context

Finland won't send their troops abroad, least of all to the contact line in Ukraine.

You still don't get it, or you simply disregarding it, this isn't NATO vs russia (in the majority of the world's eyes). This is russia vs NATO in the kremlin narrative. Not even most russians believe that tripe.

IF France or any other country send troops to Ukraine, it will be in support of Ukraine, not an invasion on russia.

Posted in: Putin warns that sending Western troops to Ukraine risks global nuclear war See in context

So where does this leave NATO now? If NATO needs to send in troops to confront Putin, at the risk of a nuclear strike, then shouldn't NATO then be prepared to preemptively strike Russia?

This is all 1 second to midnight stuff and is deadly serious. While some still play the partisan tune, hopefully more cool heads are dealing with this situation. Where are the adults supposedly in charge?

Posted in: Democracy's appeal slipping as nations across much of the world hold elections, poll finds See in context

All this red/blue, right/left is being stoked and propagated to create disunity. Those that chose to rise above such nonsense are completely dismayed to see others embrace it's cause so passionately.

I truly fear for the outcome of all this division, as we will reach a point of no return that only blood and tears can wash away.

be careful what you wish for.

This just in! The russian enclave of Phuket has declared independence and is demanding putin intervene personally after accusing the Thai government of racism and bullying.

Any other nations that have an ethnic minority of russians should look at expelling their citizens for fear of russian meddling in their statehood.
