"Good Lord, what do you want? Leave our land. If you don't want to leave now, sit down with me at the negotiating table. But not from 30 meters away, like with [French President Emmanuel] Macron and [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz,” Zelensky said, according to a translation from journalist Max Seddon, the Financial Times’ Moscow bureau chief. The “30 meters” line appears to be a reference to the lengthy table Putin uses for meetings with foreign leaders and his own advisers.
“Sit down with me and talk. What are you afraid of? We're no threat to anyone,” Zelensky added.
The above is from Yahoo News. This boy President is the perfect example of a clown, not there but thinking he was there, or he thought it was a circus. After listening to the sweet talks, will promises of grandeur from the Americans, he believed that he was really in a position to talk tough and act tough with Putin. He thought with the Americans behind him, he could attack Donbass and Lugansk at will and Putin would not hit back. He thought he could join Nato, a military alliance against Russia and no one could stop him, because he had the Americans behind him. He thought he is a hero, a legend in the making, to defy Putin, to ignore the security interest of the Russians and could do whatever he wanted, with Americans encouragement. He thought he could get away with all his unfriendly and hostile acts against Russia.
Now the truth smashed down on him like a lightning rod. Help, where is everyone? I need help. This is real. Putin is real. What have I done? Please talk to me, please, I am no threat to anyone. I am just a comedian, just joking.
A small, country relative to Russia, though almost as big as India, thinking too big for his own good without knowing how heavy he is. Wanting to punch above his weight, taking on a super power like Russia. Now reality bites. He is feeling the pain and all alone to face the music for his own stupidity.
Where have all the toughness gone?
Taiwan's Tsai Ing Wen better wise up and learn from the foolishness of Zelensky or she would be in the same shoe when Xi takes action to reunite Taiwan with China. Taiwan is even more precarious as there is no immediate neighbouring country to supply Taiwan with all its needs, all surrounded by sea and water. The sea and air would be fully under the control of China. Not a fly can get through without being swapped down.
The clown may have outlive his usefulness:

'Meanwhile, the same deep state source that uses both the WaPo and the NYT, advised the latter that western allies are discussing how to secure Ukraine's line of succession "if President Volodymyr Zelensky is captured or killed."'
The Americans continue to goad the Ukrainians to fight the Russians, but the Americans would not, knowing that it would be courting death. So they push the Ukrainians to die for them in their proxy war against Russia.
ReplyDeleteNow asking the Poles to send their MiG29s to Ukraine, then they would replace them with F16s. How convenient. Why don't they send their F16s direct to Ukraine? That would be too direct and would be attacked by the Russians, an act of war. So I pass you, you pass to them, so Americans are not involved. Really?
All the Nato and European countries are involved once they started to supply weapons to Ukraine and to arrest Russians and Russian assets and money.
Putin is compiling a hit list to strike back.
Here comes the story of WMD..this time from Russia:
ReplyDelete'Translation: MOSCOW, March 6 - RIA Novosti. Moscow received documents from employees of Ukrainian biological laboratories confirming that components of biological weapons were being developed in Ukraine, in close proximity to Russian territory. This was stated to journalists by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov. "In the course of a special military operation, the facts of an emergency cleansing by the Kiev regime of traces of a military biological program being implemented in Ukraine, funded by the US Department of Defense, were uncovered"

@ all those profit-seeking neutral folks
ReplyDeleteWhen one remains neutral and just go with where the data leads, the mind is immediately protected against "war porn" which excites the emotions on all sides.
https://youtu.be/74-Z0TZGgns
War is very bad for human lives on all sides of a conflict, i.e. both the oppressor and the oppressed are "enslaved" and suffer great losses to their capital, society, politics, families...everything of value starts to go down the jamban very quickly.
The narrative is always skewed to one side or the other. In this case with the MSM:
When the USA bombs civilians, they are the good guys
When the Russians do it they are the bad guys.
You'll find many other inconsistencies the MSM puts out so that people get brainwashed one way or the other.
Taking a peek at the markets, cos, you know, people are dying and things are being destroyed...let's not let their "sacrifice" go to waste. 🤡
USCI (commodities ETF): Up nearly 30% Year on Year
War stocks: Rallying. Nancy Pelosi made $3 million in 8 hours when she bought just before the invasion HUAT AH! 🧧🧧💰💰
GUSH (2x oil ETF): 25% up in the month
DXY: US dollar index up 6% cos in crisis USD becomes "more valuable".
IXC (energy ETF): up 23% since the beginning of 2022. High oil, gas, and coal prices have "kicked" the green/ alternative energies too, cos now it is SERIOUS that alternatives to fossil fuels be developed ASAP. (Money goes to where it is treated "best")
So best of luck, fellow greedy profit-seeking opportunists. Occasionally it is wise to take off the philosopher's hat and put on the greedy speculator hat.
Doesn't matter who wins a war. Actually both sides "lose", and neither of us can control that, no matter how many angry posts we make on the net.
But what we can definitely control is our risk capital. 😎
When Biden broadcast to the world that no American soldiers or Nato soldiers would enter the war in Ukraine, it was like telling Putin, let's fight just in Ukraine and do not expand the war to Europe.
ReplyDeleteThe Ukrainians must be wise enough to know that they have been set up to die fighting the Russians, to wear down the Russians, for the well beings of the Americans and Europe.
The caveat is whether the Americans want to bring down Europe later. If so, then they could easily provoke the Russians to attack Europe. The important thing is whether fighting just inside Ukraine is enough to serve the agenda and interest of the Americans. If the Americans want to benefit more, then they would just have to drag in Europe as the bigger sacrificial lamb.
Today Ukraine! Tomorrow Taiwan !
ReplyDeleteYep, yep. Ukraine and Ukrainians can be sacrificed. Good fun and good money to be made. Keep them fighting. Praise the Ukrainians a little. Tell them they are very brave. We admire their barvery.
ReplyDeleteFight, fight for your freedom. We will support you with more bullets and weapons. Keep fighting, brave Ukrainians. We love you, even you are dead.
We will honour you with a war memorial, to the bravest fighting Ukrainians, that fought the Russians to death, without knowing they were fighting for the American Empire.
RIP.
China Declares Russia is Solid Friend, U.S. is Trouble-Maker
ReplyDeleteChina declared ties with Russia to be “rock solid” despite pressure from the U.S. and its Western allies to help rein in President Vladimir Putin's special military operation in Ukraine.
“No matter how precarious and challenging the international situation may be, China and Russia will maintain a strategic focus and steadily advance our comprehensive strategic partnership and coordination,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Monday on the sidelines of the National People’s Congress in Beijing.
Wang’s support for Moscow provides Putin with a much-needed boost, as Russia faces a barrage of U.S.-led sanctions, including by tiny city state Singapore, over Ukraine.
Wang accused the U.S. of going to great lengths to form blocs to suppress China, echoing similar accusations by Moscow. The real goal of the U.S.’s Indo-Pacific strategy was to form a version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the region to contain China, Wang said.
Weeks ago, President Xi Jinping hosted Putin in Beijing and publicly declared their friendship has “no limits.”
@ Virgo,
ReplyDeleteRelc lah. The best play is to not take sides or try to "predict". Just follow the money dun care whose money...just buat bodoh and follow. Buy low, sell high. Don't predict---PREPARE!
It's like gambling, only the aim is to be more intelligent, but speculation is a bet...a "theory" that the future will go in a way to benefit the bettor.
Some people work for money, nothing wrong with that. Most people have to work so that others can benefit, and the one doing the work is "rewarded" with money.
Then there are those who make their money to work for them, sometimes their own, other times OPM or a mixture.
Many of us fall in-between: we work for money, and also at the same time have our money working for us.
Making money work for you is great. Money can be directed "where it is treated the best". You can work your money like a SLAVE. With humans, you need to follow stupid laws like "human rights", and also give your human workers days off or vacation time, or sick and maternity leave. If money is working for you, you needn't worry about such nonsense which affects your greedy, filthy PROFITS.
Anyway, good luck lah. I'm having fun. Hope you are too!
Ukraine is not a threat to Russia, but joining NATO and brought under the control of the USA is a big threat. The USA will place missiles aimed at Moscow and yet claim that is not a threat. Try arguing that Russia putting missiles in Cuba is not a threat to the USA. Why then the hysteria leading to near nuclear war?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Zelensky even asked NATO for immediate membership just days ago, but NATO refused to oblige. That shows how much support and value they have for him, despite all the prodding upon him to fight. Now lying under the bus, it is too late for him to regret. Used and discarded is what he is. Now clearly in desperate straits he is even biting NATO as well.
ReplyDeleteElectricity tariffs going to TRIPLE by this year. Your favourite PAP Uncle will be giving chicken wing subsidy.
ReplyDeleteFor those who know financial markets & hedging, even if electricity goes up 10 times, no scare. In fact they will earn more as people suffer more!
Australia's prime minister called Russia's invasion of Ukraine "a moment of choice for China" Monday, urging Beijing to end its tacit political and economic support for the war.
ReplyDeleteScott Morrison pressed China to shape the actions of its Russian ally and prove that Beijing is committed to global peace and the principle of sovereignty.
"No country would have a greater impact right now on Russia's violent aggression towards Ukraine than China," Morrison told the Lowy Institute, a Sydney-based foreign policy think tank.
This silly Morrison thinks the is somebody, telling China what to do. He still doesn't know that China has completely ignored him, and ruled him out of the picture in all things. He can continue to bark wildly to pretend he is important. China would only show him a stone wall.
George Carlin, libertarian hero WE LIKE WAR!...and we're good at it because we get a lot of practice!
ReplyDeleteOnly real patriots have the guts to scold their own country when it is doing bad stuff.
We need more people like that.
They desperately wants China to say something against Russia, pick on it and blow it up incessantly on MSM. The Anglo Saxon White Curse has only one objective in mind over their repeated call on China to make a stand, and that is ultimately trying to split the strategic alliance between Russia and China
ReplyDeleteThey keep pushing China. Why should China do the silly thing and oblige when China knows after Ukraine, China will face a similar fate on the Taiwan issue. After all, Russia is a more trustworthy friend than an untrustworthy foe out to dominate and even secretly planning to nuke China.
Forcing China to make a stand is a lose lose situation for China. Why sink the boat when China knows Morrison is as much a protege of the devil himself. The devil even went to the extent of supplying Australia with nuclear submarines, with Morrison openly stating that it is to confront China. Do you believe that kind of person harbour any good intentions?
Morrison will be a nobody soon as he's poised to lose the Australian election in May . . .
