Not this time …. Not with the world’s consent anyway … Russia already has crippling sanctions, been kicked off UN human rights council and they are figuring out how to kick them off the UN Security Council, Germany and Western Europe slashing oil and gas from Russia, international criminal court preparing to issue international Arrest warrant. Europe will help Ukraine rebuild. They will never surrender to Russia. The iron curtain is going up again and the stakes are much clearer for everyone to see. Putin is a pariah. Is that what you call getting away with these war crimes? It will take time but they will Be brought to some kind of Justice. |
Screw that. It CAN NOT be allowed. While YOU may want to appease and forget, it only continues to embolden him to do more and worse. He MUST be stopped. |
As long as countries are beholden to him for energy he’s going to be fine. Look at him smirking like a bloated toad every day. |

Weird, Scholz opposes the reversal of Germany's plans to shut down remaining nuclear reactors by the end of the year.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-06/scholz-shoots-down-appeal-to-reverse-germany-s-nuclear-exit Yet, 53% of Germans want to keep the nuclear power plants on - a big reversal in attitude toward nuclear energy: https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-war-sparks-major-shift-in-germanys-energy-opinions/a-61401277 It's almost as if Scholz is not an honest broker and wants to remain dependent on Russia. |
| What a despicable group of people Russia has become. Can't believe that Rwanda abstained from the human rights council vote. They were the only mid-90s crimes against humanity victim that didn't vote yes. |
Western Europe has committed to reducing Russian oil by 2/3 this year and completely by 2030. That is faster than anyone thought possible. |
Just talk. Austria and Germany and Hungary won’t when the rubber hits the road |
Germany has committed … |
Germans make lots of commitments but when it comes to financial misers (and penny wise pound foolish mentality), Germans are a1 top people at this Germany is very good at making edicts but they are a mercantilist country first and foremost A car dealership with an anthem and a flag. You cannot trust them. Unlike the French and British, the Germans have a lot less outward looking strategic mindset or culture. |
https://twitter.com/DmitryOpines/status/1512352967827066883?s=20&t=L0aWWUz5fW7rSiro6khBeg Russian propaganda is claiming that they are killing Ukrainians "in defense of children." This shares a common thread with the GOP's current obsession with schools, pedophiles, abortion - which is all being framed as "in defense of children." This is not a coincidence. The GOP has been coordinating its propaganda campaign with Russia since 2016 - remember Comet Ping Pong Pizza? I was just pointing out that the Russians must consider this an effective propaganda frame since they use it over and over again. It's always good to be aware of what the enemy thinking because that helps to predict their future actions. |
meh... If you " follow the Money" , Germany, Poland and Italy are paying Putin 1 Billion Dollars PER DAY for Natural Gas ... Yes, 1 Billion Dollars per day POURING out of Germany, Italy and Poland directly into Putin's war chest to fund his bombing, killing and destruction of Ukraine In other words, Europe isn't just " turning a blind eye to war crimes " Europe is FINANCING Putin's war crimes CUT OFF THE NATURAL GAS Imports NOW |
+1 I don't know why their dependence on Russian energy wasn't a full scale emergency for them (especially Germany) when the invasion was imminent. And now they want to do what's cheap for them. Appalling. Someone needs to give them a calculator and a list of things they're going to need to pay for as this invasion continues. Looking after thousands of refugees and financing the rebuilding of entire cities ain't cheap. Germany needs to expect to pay a huge percentage of that since they have been the ones financing the problem in the first place. |
Thank you for clarifying. My God. This is unbearable. |
