US treats russia as its equal despite the Russian military showing that it is not quite as capable as it seems. 

Only because Russia has a nuclear arsenal [laugh]

True but as long as you can threaten USA, they won't risks for others. Fight what you want, do it at someone place.

Chances of a Pacific war in the next 3 years just shot up tremendously...

 

Trump is not wrong

With Trump in place, he would not have encouraged Ukraine to further antagonise Putin when Russian troops are on exercise in Belarus that fateful February 

Biden quashed the Ukraine/Russo peace talks in Istanbul, pledging to support them all the way.

Zelenskyy is naive, and stupid enough to believe him

My BFF also likes Fatty Kim because he is a nuclear power!

Maybe Ukraine can start building the bomb again?

They have the technology,  they have the expertise. 

Think most of ukraine nuclear weapon and delivery systems are russian origin and just happen to be stationed there during the USSR breakup. Not made in ukraine.

Why people take this change in US foreign policy so seriously? 4 years pass quickly, new president , everything changes again [laugh]

Whatever Trump pronounces will not be permanent anyway. Not happy, just bide time and wait for next president.

That was ukraine mistake ...to let the war drag on past the US presidential election cycle. Putin didn't have to win on the battlefield, just needed to be patient.

Those troops were there for invasion all along lah. Ukraine is far far from being the first time Russia did it.

It's like saying Singapore deserved macdonald bombing 💥 because never  respect Indonesia wishes 🤦‍♂️

Or China deserves nanking massacre because never give in to Japan early on🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Or Russia deserves barbarossa because never give in to Hitler's "legitimate security concerns" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hypersonic

I didn't know Ukraine can finish off Russia

and end the war anytime they like.

Especially before a change of president in USA!

But now I know.

What a stupid mistake by Ukraine to let the war drag on past the US presidential election cycle.

I thought Zelenskyy kept on saying where got invasion.

Anyway any peace talk without any form of security guarantee = toilet paper.

Budapest Memorandum is toilet paper now

You associate wrong.

Russia was not after Ukraine for land and resource like Japan did after annexing Manchuria

McDonald’s bombing draws parallel, but Indonesia post-independence is not Russia.

Bombing though was an act of terrorism, we also held the perpetrators to justice without involving the British or Malaysia.

ln fact, some of our own died in the jungles of Malaysia for Malaysia during the Confrontasi.

 

Ukraine could have stopped cultural genocide of russian speakers in Ukraine, and also not join NATO

It’s just that simple.

Putin does not live forever. All Ukraine needs is an opportunity, like Finland and Norway did once they spot the weakness.

Again, Zelenskyy being at the helm is the bogeyman

That’s a pretty bold claim - after “liberating” Crimea and most of Ukraine’s Black Sea coastline and its attendant EEZ

Trump is asked if he has a message for Ukrainians who feel let down by his administration due to not having a seat in Saudi Arabia. "I hear they're upset about not having a seat. Well, they've had a seat for three years."

It’s about time you jumped in

Do you still dream of Zelenskyy beating the red army through F16s, some funny drones and American missiles all the way back to Moscow?

When questioned how should the Ukraine quagmire be resolved, you had no answer.

If you mention Crimea, the Black Sea fleet, you probably have not understood why Trump wants Panama and Greenland.

Reading history, and not understanding why the actors had to perform that way is a waste

I think you’ve been selectively reading my posts because I’ve been active all this while, but only commenting when there is something worthwhile to talk about - I’m not paid by the post.

That being said, Trump expressing a desire for the Panama Canal or Greenland is just that - a desire. To do so by force is to disrespect sovereignty of Panama and Denmark. And so I don’t think it should legitimize what Putin has done.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. And the elephant in this room, of course, is waiting for the world order to be rewritten, so that it can expand where it pleases. 

The small nations may not take this lying down, and those rich and capable enough among them, when the veneer of civility is finally stripped away, may see that acquiring WMD (not limited to nuclear weapons) is the only real deterrence against a larger power bullying them.

I would agree the world is reverting to pre world war 1 situation

Many smaller countries try as they might to get a nuclear arsenal, but only few succeed.

Hence Kishore’s article is important for the Europeans to take heed, should they like to retain civilisation as they know it to be

The most pertinent question is when SG is forced to take a stand between US and China, and not be a lackey.

We did under GCT when Bush laid his ultimatum : “You are either with us, or against us.”
