Finland & Sweden cleared to join NATO

originally posted by: taitekman
Finland and Sweden has always been de facto NATO countries since decades ago. It would be more interesting to see Cuba, Venezuela join BRICS after Iran and Argentina.

just need taiwan to join.

Taiwan is not in the north Atlantic. The US is the glue that holds NATO together. As the US weakens over time, the glue weakens over time. Wouldn't be surprised if NATO is dissolved after 2050 when the US is sort of like Brazil or Mexico.

I haven't seen any unbiased evidence of Ukraine committing genocide in the East. Do you have any neutral evidence?

Russians don't have a moral advantage - they are invading a sovereign State with a false claim. The soldiers fighting this war know this, which is one of the reasons why they are performing so badly, despite a massive numerical and technological advantage.

The only States supporting Russia are those with equally dictatorial leaders with terrible human rights records and a subservient, poverty stricken and uneducated populace who are unable to exercise their human right to protest.

The Kiev regime banned Russian language. As a result, millions of Russian speakers fled to Russia after Euro Maidan in 2014.

It does not matter whether there is truth to it. Russians are brained washed by Russian TV into thinking the Kiev regime does genocide to Russian speakers in Donbas. And that is why they go to Donbas to fight. While initially they performed poorly due to lack of combat experience, their performance improves with combat experience.

Banning a language (which they did not do) is not murder.

a reply to: TerraLiga

It is considered genocide. It drove millions of Russian speakers from Ukraine to Russia.

a reply to: taitek

May I ask in which country you are writing this?

a reply to: TerraLiga

I'm in Canada. Genocide is not strictly mass killing people. Any reduction in population due to policy is genocide.

The Russian language use in Ukraine has steadily reduced over time since it won its independence from USSR.

Do you think if you lived in China you would have access to this website?

a reply to: TerraLiga

Chinese is a fascist country. Of course, China limits what website you can browse. When I was in China in 2019 visiting family I was able to post on this website. Maybe now no more. Who knows?

Ukraine didn't win independence from USSR anymore than Russia won independence from USSR. USSR was dissolved.

I'm confused on what you support and why...

Both China and Russia do not value human beings as individuals. You have all the benefits of the West where you live so what do you not like about it?

a reply to: taitek

Exactly. And Ukraine became an independent self-governed country.

a reply to: TerraLiga

The citizens of every country is brain washed by that country's TV. You say China and Russia do not value human life. That is what American TV says. It is not true. Just like it is not true America does not value human life, what is what Chinese and Russian TV says.

a reply to: TerraLiga

So did Russia. Russia takes a chunk of Ukraine. It's fair. Just like America took a chunk of Serbia when America recognized Kosovo or Turkey took a chunk of Cyprus when Turkey recognized Northern Cyprus.

Are Chinese respected in America? I don't think so. Chinese are considered second class citizens in America. Unless you are Anglo Saxon, or maybe Jewish, you are not respected in America and you are not first class citizen.

a reply to: taitek

I don't watch much TV. I continue to study politics, economics and psychology. Russia and China are politically Socialist/Communist and have dictatorial leaders who police their ideologies with armed force.

Anyone in the West can see the typical living standards of those in China and Russia without a biased TV program - it is no secret.

a reply to: TerraLiga

That is your opinion because you are an American. If you were born in China, you would have negative views of America.

a reply to: taitek

I am absolutely not American. If I was born in China I would do everything I could to get out of China and move to a democracy where I would be a valued part of a community and nation.
