[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia's disaster of an invasion has the opposite effect I think - it makes it much harder for China to invade Taiwan.  Look at the vehemently negative world reaction towards Russia that is going to obliterate their economy.  It has sped up Germany's diversification away from Russian energy up to 2035 (down from 2050).  China went to great lengths during the winter Olympics this year to propagandize the opening ceremony where they tried to show that they were a peaceful country and a great world unifier.  Invading Taiwan would ruing the soft image projection Xi is trying to promulgate, and would stoke an anti-Chinese backlash across the world just like what Russia has gotten.  That's exactly the opposite of what Xi and the CCP want.  The only way they'll take over Taiwan is if they start moving in mainland Chinese and install a pro-Chinese govt to change the culture of many years, just like what they're doing to Hong Kong.

Russia’s invasion has not gone as planned but any military plan ends as soon as action starts. Putin planned to conquer Ukraine in 48 hours. That’s not happening. But now Putin is raining down artillery on Ukrainian cities. Sanctions won’t stop him anymore than they’ve stopped Iran and North Korea. [/quote]

Tens of thousands of ethnic Russian women and children died in Chechnya, population 1.3M people. Putin has no remorse or care about his own people. For a preview of where this goes look to the Balkans and Milosevic.[/quote]

Chechnya’s destruction appears to be his game-plan.

But this time, it’s different.

He is slaughtering civilians just a few miles from EU countries; NATO countries.

And this time, he can not control the massive numbers of western journalists witnessing it all.

[b]Another factor:  Europeans relate to the Ukrainian people.  They look and speak like the part of the EU we used to call Eastern Europe.  Europe won’t sand for this, and we have many weapons of economic destruction to deploy against Russia and Belarus.[/b]

In contrast, when the Moslem Chechens were slaughtered, the Moslem and Arab world failed to do much to stop Putin. [/quote]

I don't know if you listen to The Daily podcast, but today they talked about EU actions. Apparently Zelensky's speech to the EU really changed minds about their levels of support, dramatically. Anyway, it was a really interesting episode today. Some of their episodes in general are hit or miss, but I'd recommend this one.[/quote]

People are trying so hard to dance around the fact that Ukrainians aren’t brown/black and/or Islamic.

1 million refugees relatively moved safely in a week is unheard of before.

Let’s be clear what the parsimonious reason is why it easily happened but never before

And don't forget that most of the Ukrainian refugees entered Poland. The Poles HATE the Russians. DESPISE. LOATHE. RUSSIA. So the Poles are happy to do whatever they can to welcome Ukrainians escape the Russian aggression. [/quote]

Poland has not been welcoming whatsoever to noncaucasian and/or Muslim refugees. Educate oneself on the refugee crisis between Belarus and Poland. I don’t know exactly where they’re coming from, but there is a constant pilgrimage of refugees coming into Belarus to get to Poland, the first country in the EU. So the two countries have been fighting over what to do with them. Poland has set up huge fences, sprays them chemicals and water, heavily arms their boarder, shines bright lights on them constantly, won’t let them in to seek asylum. Belarus doesn’t know what to do with them, claims they don’t want asylum or to stay in Belarus so they won’t leave the boarder, create huge makeshift refugee camps along the border in the woods. Poland says Belarus encourages the refugees to go to the Polish border and are forcing them to stay there to upset Poland, that they’re using the refugees as puppets. Videos of the sheer volume/numbers of migrants are incredible, thousands at a time.

They look like they may be coming from Syria, but I don’t know. Poland doesn’t want them. It’s a major conflict between them and Belarus.

So now look at what’s happening with Ukraine. It’s not surprising Poland would be hesitant to accept anyone that isn’t from the Ukraine or doesn’t look stereotypical Ukrainian, given just north in Belarus there are thousands of refugees trying to cross into Poland. I believe a fear/conspiracy has been these people may have crossed into the Ukraine and are now trying to get into Poland with Ukrainians.

So now you’ve got Poland allowing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to cross, in one week, but they wouldn’t let hardly any of the dark skinned, black haired, brown eyed people come in from Belarus, many of whom are also fleeing war. It is what it is, not my theories. But it’s still depressing. [/quote]

Ummm. Did you not see that Belarus INVITED and FLEW many migrants in with the promise of getting them into the EU via Poland. Most wanted to get to Germany. They didn’t magically appear in Belarus.[/quote]
