This is also supported by the reaction of leading NATO countries – the United States in particular – to the initiatives put forward by President Putin last December. Back then, he talked about the need to act in good faith and honour one's agreements: more specifically, he was referring to the idea that any country, even when it chooses to join a military alliance, must never pursue any policy that would infringe on the security of any other country. That was a commitment approved and signed by the presidents and heads of government of all #OSCE countries, and it is also enshrined in NATO-Russia Council documents.
The West has flat out refused to comply with this principle.
Then we heard President Zelensky say that if Russia continues pushing Ukraine to fulfill some of its obligations, he would consider the option of Ukraine restarting its nuclear weapons program – that was a step too far.
Question: Was that the tipping point?
Sergey Lavrov: No, it has been building up over time. Our patience has its limits, you know. But all the things I've outlined are everyday events, small developments that have convinced us, step by step, that the West has adopted a strategy of using Ukraine to contain Russia. The plan is to create an 'anti-Russia', a belt of hostile states around us.

Malaysia has historical & bumiputra rights to Singapore. Maybe they should take over Woodlands and Pulau Ubin. Very benevolent, they still give us 90% of Singapore to stay in.
Both Chinese, Indian Netizens Decried Double Standards, Hypocrisy of US and West
Twitter has witnessed thousands of posts with hashtags like #StandWithRussia and #StandWithPutin in recent days from Indian netizens after some media cited US officials as saying that the US is considering sanctions on India, over the purchase of a missile defense system from Russia, after India abstained from a vote at UN General Assembly condemning Russia over Ukraine conflict, China's Global Times reported.
The discussions started by Indian netizens have seen even more netizens from around the world join in to criticize the US and Western countries' hypocrisy for their full support of Ukraine while keeping silent to the deaths caused by themselves and NATO around the world.
Many pointed out the hypocrisy and double standards of the US and Western countries for criticizing Russia despite their blatant invasions of countries in the Middle East. America bombed Afghanistan for 20 years and even bombed civilians before leaving but no one questioned the US over committing genocide.
Some praised Russia President Vladimir Putin for fighting for his country and fighting for the destruction of the monopoly of US and Western countries.
Indian netizens' actions have also attracted the attention of Chinese netizens with related topics and hashtags a hit on China's social media platform Sina Weibo since Thursday. Given the ongoing China-India border standoff, it is so rare to see that both Chinese and Indian netizens stand in the same trenches to lash out at the double standards and hypocrisy of the US and Western countries.
The discussions have expanded to how the current situation between Russia and Ukraine has unveiled the West and US' monopoly and their racism.
More netizens from around the world, especially from countries that have suffered wars led by the West and US, are expressing their disappointment and opposition against the double standards of the West.
One posted pictures of a bombed building and an overview of streets in Kiev, saying that the first picture was Syria after US attacks, and the second was Ukraine. "You tell us you worry about the latter but not the former? Shameless!"
Another commented that "If you support Ukraine, but not Palestine, Syria, Libya, Lebanon and Iraq; If you condemn Russia, but not Israel, US and NATO, then congrats mate, you're on the highest tier of hypocrisy."
The Whites have been creating pockets of instability for them to use in their desire to dominate the world. The keep them fluid instead of outright settling issues.
Israel in the Middle East is a perfect example. There is Kashmir, The Korean Peninsula, Eastern Europe since the fall of the USSR, Taiwan in relation to China, and capitalising on the enmity existing between Japan and China and between China and India.
Any one of these areas can erupt into scenarios for conflict and presto it is time to make hay while the sun shines for the USA. Right now wanting peace between Russia and Ukraine is the last thing they want. They keep adding fuel to fire, emboldening all of Europe. The fishes can fight in the water, but the USA is standing nearby to reap all the benefits with little risk.
We should ask Putin for 500,000 Russian tanks & troops to help us conquer more land. We're already Top 3 per capita GDP. We definitely can make the land richer and more productive.
Noose Tightening Around Taiwan Separatists as New Chinese Law on National Reunification Proposed
A member of the Standing Committee of the 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, said he will submit a proposal that suggests the country formulate a law on national reunification during the upcoming two sessions.
Zhang Lianqi said: "Over the past 17 years, the Anti-Secession Law has played an important role in curbing secessionist attempts for Taiwan independence and promoting the peaceful reunification of the motherland. Facing greater risks and challenges, conditions are becoming ripe to promote the reunification of the motherland by legal means, whether in a peaceful way or not."
Zhang said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities are colluding with the US to incite confrontation and seek independence. The CCP must use law-based means to promote the reunification.
The Anti-Secession Law focused on fighting "Taiwan independence," while the proposed reunification law will focus on promoting reunification, Zhang said.

Approaching its 30th year, the UN General Assembly has voted annually – and overwhelmingly – against the United States’ long-standing embargo against Cuba. Last year, the 29th time, saw 184 in favour of ending it, 2 no votes (from the US and Israel), and 3 abstentions. Does the US care?
Compare this with UNGA vote on a resolution demanding that Russia immediately end its military operations in Ukraine - 141 for, 5 no votes, and 35 abstentions. It's hardly unanimous.
With declining birthrate, Singapore will soon amend enlistment act to force all up to age 80 to do NS. Anyway now mostly just press button to launch missile or fire gun. Ah Pek and Ah Ma also can do.
The only condition for any direct Ukraine-Russia talk is for Ukraine to surrender unconditionally.
It's too late to talk once Russia has launched her military operations to make Ukraine safe for Russia.
