Current Events > Ukraine President says Goodbye

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hope he lives.

may Putin burn in Hell for his sins

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked to evacuate Kyiv at the behest of the U.S. government but turned down the offer.
Zelenskyy said in response: The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride, according to a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation, who described Zelenskyy as upbeat.

I wonder how our recent geriatric presidents would react in his situation

I don't know how EU leaders could sit there and listen to that without being stirred to action. A lot of people are putting it all on America but Europe is failing too.

Ukraine is literally on NATO's door step.

The one issue with NATO is that Turkey is a unreliable partner within NATO.

This hero is going to die and we're just going to sit back and watch because it's not our problem. America is not the police of the world. It's the mafia of the world, stealing oil, killing brown people, and destabilizing legitimate foreign governments.

The EU is the largest importer of natural gas in the world, according to the Directorate-General for Energy for the EU, with the largest share of its gas coming from Russia (41%).

The region used to be independent for natural gas, but then the North Sea reserves dried up.
Europe is also focusing on renewables, but the grid is not yet equipped for intermittent sources like wind and solar to completely fill the gap.

It's never that simple.

If Russia turns of the Natural Gas taps, guess what happens to the EU.

Giant Black Outs.

Russia literally has the EU by the balls and the EU knows that if Russia decides to cut the Natural Gas pipeline feed by turning it off, the EU is HOSED.

If NATO moves in, guess what's the first move to happen?

Russia cuts off the Gas to the EU, ergo MASSIVE EU wide black-outs.

This hero is going to die and we're just going to sit back and watch because it's not our problem. America is not the police of the world. It's the mafia of the world, stealing oil, killing brown people, and destabilizing legitimate foreign governments.

Im glad my country is doing something. Our Government is not going into specifics with exactly what with the media and the public though. Which make total sense. Shouting all your moves for the enemy to see is stupid.

Oh, okay, so I guess we just let a murderous manlet commit his war crimes with impunity. And if he does decide to go through with an invasion of Finland or Sweden, well he still has us by the balls!

America's foreign policy in general is utter shit
Not directing interfering in Russia's affairs such as this is a legit curse because Nuclear War would be a thing.

It's never that simple.

The EU has to make the best decision for everybody, including their own people.

And they can't just "Start a War" unilaterally. Even if they're NATO members.

The consequences of that for their own people would be disasterous.

The US failed with Afganistan, having been in a technical stalemate war with North Korea for decades and the "war on terror" was a complete disaster.

Nice catchphrase.

Welcome to the unfortunate reality of countries.

The idea that any major power can just go charging in guns metaphorically blazing to fix an issue is a fantasy. The US failed with Afganistan, have been in a technical stalemate war with North Korea for decades and the "war on terror" was a complete disaster.

It's GeoPolitical Reality that Politicians and Leaders of their country have to deal with.

If he dies, may Putin burn in Hell for his sins.

Cool story bro.

Yes and no

War is never easy or an instant solution, but with Iraq and Afgahstian overthrowing a regime, corrupt as they may be created a massive power vacuum

Kicking out an invading force would have less negative consequences if said invading force didn't have a nuclear arsenal to virtually match our own.

By the way how old is Ukraine's president? I'm not used to seeing country leaders look this young.

And I say this as my country currently has the second youngest prime minister we've ever had.

44

Older than he looks.
