My girlfriend's father runs a transport company and he has had 2 trucks and drivers locked down in Ukraine for weeks. They drivers say they can't get out of the country through Russia and are now trying to get through to Belarus. How do 30k Russians get passed Ukrainian border guards but a legitimate transport truck with Russian and Ukrainian papers can't get through? lol. How is that an issue since the Russians are the ones blocking the borders? P.S. so your girlfriend is Russian? now we are getting somewhere. | ||

Plus plenty of billionaires close to Putin have assets in the west, most of which can't be moved to China. They would be kinda upset if they had to chose between supporting Putin or losing their assets. Finally, it's not like China would go out of their way to help Russia. They wouldn't join in the sanctions but as far as they're concerned the best outcome would be if everyone just stopped fighting and were nice to each other. Just think about the UK government confiscating Chelsea FC. Abramovich would be heartbroken and Pandemona would get an aneurysm. Also, russia imports a lot of hightech machinery from the EU (especially germany) and who knows if the chinese can acually export the amount of food needed (iirc russia imported food worth 40 billion € from the eu). | ||

Are there any reports on how many troops Russia have inside of the Crimean territory? I honestly can't see any other outcome other than Crimea going into Russian hands. (or at least a major part of it) No force will be used by either side, it have potential to change the world. (Israel would be screwed instantly) | ||

The justification is a completely fabricated story. The guys taking over the buildings in crimea are suspected to be part of PMC's, the protestors in eastern ukrainian cities are rumored to be bussed in and others are supposedly paid (which is why the protest ended so abruptly in some cities). The russian state together with the russian media (all pretty much under the states control) are creating their own narrative. yeah I heard about that on 1+1 news. They added that the video which Russian news claimed was shot at the Russian border was actually at the Polish one. | ||

Polish media is pretty free and open - apparently freedom of media is in better shape here than in USA but worse than i.e. nordic countries - and I imagine that in current situation movement of armed forces toward border with Ukraine would be a news worth spreading. Without ukraine/russia context nobody cares that we move few tanks around. | ||

Period. Ukraine is not a member state. Unless Russia shows aggression towards the territory of a member state it's literally none of their business. 2) The UN is as useless as usual. Just like the US veto'd most anti-US resolutions in the past Russia will veto any resolution against them. All the security council is good for is declaring some form of "We don't really like this and the Russians veto'd us!" | ||

30:30 Clearly the attacks on Russian peacekeepers and their deaths were lacking. So he quickly ordered those in. | ||

Or even better to prevent possible abuse, 75% > the rest. I just don't understand why a veto cannot be overcome with votes. | ||

Article mentioned official response of some military spokesman. He said that it has absolutely nothing to do with events in Ukraine. | ||

Israel is also not a part of NATO but the USA, Germany and others are much more committed to it than to the Ukraine. It's probably the most important nonmember state as far as these two are concerned. Also Israels military is capable enough to defend against any threats form the middle east. (Also it's the only nuclear power in the region...) | ||

The fact they are choosing their words carefully suggests this whole thing is a calculated power play, rather than an attempt to start a war. | ||

All the security council is good for is declaring some form of "We don't really like this and the Russians veto'd us!" That's just not true. On (1), let me quote the freshly minted NATO council report: Military action against Ukraine by forces of the Russian Federation is a breach of international law and contravenes the principles of the NATO-Russia Council and the Partnership for Peace. Russia must respect its obligations under the United Nations Charter and the spirit and principles of the OSCE, on which peace and stability in Europe rest. We call on Russia to de-escalate tensions. Ukraine is a valued partner for NATO and a founding member of the Partnership for Peace. NATO Allies will continue to support Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and the right of the Ukrainian people to determine their own future, without outside interference. What this says is that there is a framework (Council and Partnership for Peace) which Russia's actions in Ukraine are violating. Furthermore, they mention the stability of Europe because any conflict with one of their European members will immediately concern NATO. Furthermore, Ukraine is a partner of NATO, and part of the above frameworks, which makes it even more a NATO concern. And, on top of all that, as the last sentence emphasizes, NATO members (UK and US) are committed by the 94 Budapest Memorandum to protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, which means that they are drawn into the conflict. | ||
