Well said Telamelo.

Unfortunately these days you really have to do your own research to get a more realistic perpective of what is happening. Western MSM mouthpieces only pushing governemnt narratives instead of reporting the real news in some cases, especially the last few years...
 
Worth realising the economic pressure Russia is under as the Ukraine invasion goes sour and outrages everyone else.

Russia's central bank has closed the country's stock market and instructed brokers to block foreign sales as losses mount​

  • Russia's central bank closed its stock market on Monday in a bid to stem a sharp decline.
  • The central bank also instructed brokers to not execute sell orders from foreign investors.
  • Russia's ruble plunged more than 20% on Monday after devastating sanctions from Western countries.

In an attempt to prevent a total collapse of the Russian ruble, the central bank also more than doubled interest rates to 20% following sanctions.

Agreed with comments by @Telamelo. Lots of propaganda from both sides, with the majority of news really only coming from the Ukrainian front.

The Russian perspective is unsurprisingly different. The Western media is focused on Kiev, with daily updates reporting that the city remains standing. Russian updates are focused on the overall strategy - with the current plan being to form a land bridge between Crimea & the Donbass regions.
A Russian YouTuber claims that this is where the majority of Ukrainian forces (blue circles) are positioned. Their defeat (if it were to eventuate) by an ever growing Russian presence (red line) will surely change sentiment in Kiev and the outcome of the war.



It's also worth noting that I've yet to find objective data RE: troop buildup from either side. Based on "satellite imaging" alone, it seems that the Russians are continuing to flood Ukraine with more personnel, whereas Ukraine is now reliant on foreign volunteers!
In addition, China has now started to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine. Either they're slow, or they know something the rest of the world doesn't. Meanwhile the US remains cautious and is expecting the worst is yet to come.

As I've said before, the rhetoric regarding Putin is premature...

What do you mean unlike Afghanistan and Iraq, removing the government was exactly USA’s intent in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
 
Looks like high oil prices looked in for the foreseable future, even if this war were to end tomorrow

 
When I listen to this song now I think about the Brave Ukrainian people, I feel almost every lyrics represents how they must be feeling.


 
"He has no idea what's coming"

President Biden State of the Union address on what Putin will be facing.

Resounding, hastily rewritten speech which certainly got people off their seats. It looks like everyone in the West is trying to outdo each other in sanctioning Putin and his supporters.

Even got a bi -partisan round of applause during parts of his speech.

As for the tired old tropes of dementia ? Check out the article and see whether he can tell a story with clarity and purpose.

'He has no idea what's coming': Biden's off-script warning and other big moments from his State of the Union speech

Since he took office, Joe Biden has faced new COVID-19 variants, a struggling US economy and a war in Ukraine. These were the biggest moments from his State of the Union address as he laid out his plans for the year ahead.

Ha Ha. Is it too hard for you to stomach President Biden being presidential and giving a strong speech to the House ?

I'm sure the usual suspects in the peanut galley will be running their lying tropes on Bidens "dementia". However seeing him present makes that tripe look like wilful lies.
 
I hope you're right Bass, but please save us from the accusations of peanut galleries, regarding Biden, after the 4 years and millions of peanut posts regarding Trump.
I mean really no mirrors? or what.
 
I'm sure Iranians were thankful for it.
