Russia Ukraine War 2022

[Shashank Nayak]

During 2008 Georgia war.. US intelligence, was primarily focused on Iraq and Afghan fronts where large US forces were deployed. Now, US is out of Afghanistan, and only token forces not engaged in Combat are deployed in Iraq..
So, unfortunately for Russia, the full force of US intelligence is focused on Ukraine now, and helping Ukraine, increasing the costs to the Russian military...

Additionally, in Georgia in 2008, Russia to the West was still not the phariah that it is now known to be. So the US kept distance from the Russo-Georgian war hoping that diplomacy was the way to go with still friend Putin.

A straight up lie.


No, we'd kill any and all who try that.

Honesty reply but why so many have a issue with Ukraine doing it

Poor EU countries like portugal, greece and malta use golden visas to support their economies.
If they stop golden visas, their economies will crumble.

The US truly is doing this to EU with the war. Buy expensive gas from US, buy expensive F35 from US and also stop golden visas so that US can sell EB5 green cards instead.

That's an exageration. Golden visas gives very little revenue to the issuing country and these golden visa buyers does not stay in the issuing country. These small countries are simply golden visa buyer's gateway to the EU.

Looks like European decoupling from Russian oil and gas might come sooner...

Germany asks people to reduce gas consumption; Poland to halt Russian oil imports

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/30/germany-gas-warning-poland-oil-russia/

Whatever the short term pains Europeans will suffer from premature cutoff of Russian oil and gas is nothing compared to the sufferings of Ukrainians. And more impirtantly, a sharp pain from oil and gas shock will only spur innovations in alternative energy sources and EVs.

Cyprus, Malta, Monaco and Real Estate sector in Paris and London disagrees with you. Just like COVID gave middle class Indian a reality check, sanction have shown oligarch a reality check.
The view that trading with west will normalise relations with russia was a sham.
British have and will always do wealth creation through plundering and then laugh at you for being the victim

Your immigrant status is about as valuable as the average "am indian can confirm" comment.

And your non immigrant status makes you even less experienced in the concept you are taking about.

Your aversion to history is why you don't understand that your cultural movements and paradigm shifts are not unique and special. Nothing new under the sun bud, shiny aesthetic toppings are utterly meaningless.

I have a minor degree in history, fyi. Nobody said paradigm shifts are unique. I literally gave you example of paradigm shifts. The point of paradigm shift, is that once it shifts, the previous model, aka 'historical precedence' is obsolete and worthless. This isn't about aesthetics, kindly do not talk about issues you have zero understanding of. Just like culture and thus politics of north america shifted 500 years ago, it is shifting again now. Better to learn about shit you do not know, than impose your ideological leanings on the topic.

EXCLUSIVE U.S. warns India, others against sharp rise in Russian oil imports -official

A significant increase in Russian oil imports by India could expose New Delhi to a "great risk" as the United States prepares to step up enforcement of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, a senior U.S. administration official said.

www.reuters.com

Interesting bits from the article:

"U.S. has no objection to India buying Russian oil provided it buys it at discount, without significantly increasing from previous years," said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Some increase is allowed," said the source, who did not offer more detail.

The source said Washington has no problems if India settles trade with Russia in rupees or continues to pay in dollars, provided the transaction are sanctions-compliant and with permitted entities.

"Whatever they are paying, whatever they are doing, needs to be in compliance with sanctions. If not they are exposing themselves to a great risk", the source said.

"As long as they are compliant with sanctions and not significantly raising purchases, we are okay," the source said.

The U.S. sanctions have granted a waiver till June 24 for settling energy trade with the Central Bank of Russia.

West fanboys will simply discard it as fake.

All this "fweedom" bullshit is just a charade to one up Russia at the cost of Ukrainians.

Eery similarity to the Afghans during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan though. I won't be surprised if an Azov offshoot turns into the Taliban of Europe (highly unlikely to reach that scale tbh).
