    "The only allies that Russia has are North Korea and Iran."
    In real life Russia organised a BRICS meeting with 130 countries present. Brazil, India, South Africa and China cared a lot more about that. Russia is politically, economically and militarily stronger than before the war. Meanwhile, we are getting weaker because America wants to place nuclear missiles right next to Russia's border. What on earth are we doing?

    The present Russian president is the single richest ( king ) man in Europe,
    possibly the entire world. He has well over two hundred billion as a personal fortune,
    and lives an unimaginably luxurious life. To those that talk of another world war.
    Know that the Russian president loves his life and has 'much more' to lose than you.
    He may like to own vast swathes of Ukraine, reclaim what was once historically Russian,
    or 'Russian adjacent' ... but he loves his lifestyle eminently more.
    This is why the 'West' ( The US democratic party + US foreign policy ) can push him about.
    He can only huff, puff and bluff. He is therefore irrelevant to Western leaders,
    and their pursuit of strengthening the "community" of the Western aligned states.
    Against all of those that don't wish to become 'democratic', ( or free of nationalistic tendencies )
    nation states under the umbrella protection ( racket ) and absolute fiscal control of the US.

      I often read in English speaking and Ukrainian networks hateful comments towards Russia and Putin. However whenever I asked those people about the source of their hatred I have never gotten replies. I personally would not hide the reason of my hatred towards terrorists and other evildoers. Why do people hide the matter? Why wouldn’t they reveal the source of their “righteous indignation”? Apparently because that source is neither righteous nor moral. They are afraid of entering an open discussion because then their evil mind would be exposed. Any of such supporters of Ukraine’s regime has corrupt mind that he is not willing to reveal. Period.

    Ukraine isn't a democracy. Far from it. In democracies there is more than one TV Channel, main political parties and main Christian denominations aren't banned, no mass extrajudicial killings, disappearances and torture, men from 18 to 60 aren't banned from leaving the country, people aren't rounded up in the streets and dragged to their death. Democracies hold elections after all. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 . Zelenskyy "achievements" to date: 500,000 Ukrainians are dead, 3x that mangled and crippled for life, half of Ukraine's population is living as refugees scattered all over Europe and Russia right now, they're drafting women because they've run out of men to kidnap off the streets, gyms and public transport. NYT wrote about these mass kidnappings that were happening only in Zelenskyy Ukraine and Hitler's Germany in 1945 in an article ‘People Snatchers’.

      Russia is not Nazi Germany. Russia is concerned about American bases close to its border. It’s not worried about the strength of its neighbours. Diplomacy involves understanding another party’s perspective. Liz truss was our foreign secretary just before war started. Victoria Newland was agitating in Ukraine for years. Understand the sequence of events and there is a better chance of finding a solution to stop/avert war.
