Putin kept building up a army at Ukraine's border. Then old man biden kept making his remarks which he probably memorized from the European NATO countries ( lol that must have taken them forever to get him to remember) and Putin sends more troops and equipment to the border and here we are. Innocent lives lost because they would not be forced to leave their homes. I would have left with the first wave 😅😅😅

Paraphrasing what is said here: "In 2014 Putin expected the West to recognize that he is an important world leader. That didn't happen with the occupation of Crimea. It came as a surprise to Putin that the West actually sticks to its principles pretty much. Putin thought that everything is for sale and can be arranged with money. Sanctions proved him wrong. He is angry on everybody, because his assumptions have been proven wrong."

And the war in Donbass that started in 2014 directly cause to the puppet government US and Victoria Nuland installed in Ukraina. Against the promisses made in the Minsk 2 agreements. Not broken by Russia . But by EU US and NATO Who started to arm and exercise the neo nazi Azov batalion. Also have in mind that Zelensky made laws in Ukraina that made use of the Russian language and cultur unlegal in Ukraina . Ukraina have for 8 years been bombing Ukrainian citisens in Donbass , just because they are etnic Russian. Killing more than 14000. And Ukraina are not a democrasy. Cause after he wonn the president election. He went and jailed the leaders of the political party that did come in second place in the elections. He did also close down the three TV stations that was openly criticizing him and his policis and imprisoned theyr journalists.

Yes, at the Hague. The only problem is transporting him out of Moscow via a covert operation, by either his inner circle, military or an espionage mission by a foreign government. We can wait until he leaves power, and, of course a subsequent government could extradite him. If he is under the sovereign jurisdiction of an International Criminal Court signatory (say, Canada, but not the U.S.) he can be sent to the ICC. Hybrid courts are an option as well. A foreign power could try him. A Russian court could not avert the question of neutrality in any sense, as Russia by law grants strong executive powers, and the courts, in their current form, are notoriously corrupt. Putinism has deformed the very idea of rule of law principles with any bite. Well, a trial is better than summary execution, and the Israelis were able to nab Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Pinochet was indicted under universal jurisdictional right by a Spanish Court, if not for a bad heart Milosevic would certainly have been found guilty by the ICC. Alternatively, it's a scary proposition to rely on liberal institutional principles under New Cold War conditions and a sinister despot like Putin. Can't forget the nuke option, and what a man backed into a corner can do.

Something that Mr. Kasyanov did not mention, or is perhaps not aware of, is that had Putin not attacked this year, he would have been forced to negotiate with Ukraine for control of Crimea. Back in 2014, following the annexation, Ukraine blocked the canal that supplies Crimea with most of its water (from the Dnieper River). Prior to the invasion this year, the reservoirs in Crimea were at 7% capacity. In other words, by mid-summer this year, Crimea would revert back to a salt marsh semi-desert region, and everyone would have to leave or die of thirst. All the money that Putin sank into building the Kerch Strait bridge and military bases would be flushed down the proverbial toilet. It would make him look like a fool and doom his regime. Of course, he has now shown himself to be a vicious, cruel, murderous fool instead, who, as one analyst said, has just torched over 30 years of Russian (and Chinese) diplomacy.

You can't wage long term war if your economy is on life support. However Russian economy is underdeveloped and many regions live of federal money which it gets from selling oil and gas. It is hard to damage something which is already damaged or non existent.

Currency reserve? Russia has a sizeable national debt and is losing borrowing power fast, the "rebound" of the ruble has been done using temporary stop gap measures, like interest rate hikes, which can provide temporary relief, but those measures have a short term impact, in the coming weeks we'll see those temporary measures begin to stop working and then the ruble will go into freefall... with the Chinese economy still reeling over the real estate market collapse, and another round of COVID, they likely wont be much help to Russia either. As a reminder, a 25% increase in the price of wheat was the catalyst that brought on the great depression, an economic critical failure that lasted 10 years, imagine an 11% decrease in GDP, which is the forecasted END point after the sanctions cease, which wont happen until the war in Ukraine is over AND the world (not just the west) feels that those responsible have paid the price. Russia is likely looking at a 20 year recovery, hampered by dwindling energy market prospects, and global distrust of the russian brand. Reparations will need to be made, and there will be a price to pay, whether that war debt continues to mount or levels off all depends on when the russian people decide to take control of the situation within their country.

In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land. The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus. Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author. Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate. Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation..........

Putin is like the small boy at school overlooked by his taller, stronger peers. And he craves their respect as an equal.

As the war in Ukraine is raging on, with the Russian missiles and bullets raining on in cities around Ukraine, war in Burma (Myanmar) is also raging on with missiles and bullets fired by the Russian made jets and ammunitions used by the military regime. Nevertheless, the Water Festival called “Thingyan” is now in Burma (Myanmar). The annual 4 days festival started on the 13 April 2022, and will end on 16 April. In other years, prior to the military coup on the 1 February 2021, many pavilions were built around the country in every suburbs, in the cities and in every village. People splashed and threw water at each other, playing joyfully for 4 days. It is a symbol to wash off the woes and problems of the past year, and to welcome the New Year with happiness. On 17 April, it will be the New Year day in Burma. The last Thingyan festival was in 2020, while the civilian NLD government was still in power. In 2021, due to COVID, the festival didn’t take place. This year in 2022, the military regime wanted to show the world that the country is running well, people are happy and that they are enjoying under the military rule. So, they have built pavilions in major cities, with the expectation that people would come out and play as usual. Normally, in other years, the pavilions would be packed with hundreds and thousands of revellers. But, this year, when Thingyan started on the 13 April, there were no people at all to join the water festival around the country. Streets were empty and deserted like eerie ghost towns (BBC Burmese 15 April 2022). There were only a handful of military families and cronies acting like clowns, fooling around singing and dancing, with no spectators watching. It was a total disastrous abysmal failure for the military regime. People have spoken in Burma! They don’t want this ruthless fascist military dictator. They are going to fight until they have total victory in their hands. People of the world! Please help Burma’s struggle for democracy and freedom, like you are helping Ukraine. May President Zelenskyy and the heroic people of Ukraine totally defeat the cruel Russian invaders!

@@user-uq1hc5eb6e I know nothing about that. It may have been a horrible thing to do, or it may have been the right thing to do. I don't know. What I know is that Putin, Xi, Khamenei, Kim, Maduro, and a handful of other dictators, have shown behaviors that indicate they are willing to unjustly strip people of their civil rights including imprisoning them, and killing them, in order to stay in power and increase their personal wealth. The other criteria is that they have actually shown aggression to their neighboring countries, or they have threatened it. Those are the leaders who the world knows are the main threats to humanity, and most people in the world are aware of them. We have been trying to control most of these people with embargoes, or even military actions against their militaries, but those methods hurt their people more than they hurt them. We need to go against them directly. I understand that assassination is fraught with problems, such as it begets more assassinations in reprisal, or in pre-emptive measures. That could lead to seeing every president living in a concrete bunker and never leaving it for fear of being killed. That's a possibility, but until then, I think it's a more efficient to deal with psychopaths who run countries. I don't want crazy vigilantes hunting leaders, I want the United Nations doing it under very rigid guidelines.

I will voice my opposition to Mr Kasyanov's explanation on why Putin is so Obsessed with Ukraine. Read WW2 history and look at the map. The Ukrainian border in the east is further east than Moscow. If the German Army Group South had turned north (instead of south), it could have encircled Moscow in 1942. It is vital for Putin's security doctrine (which I believe to be wrong, old, not possible, nor needed today) to plug the southern gap into Russian heartland. Putin is NOT driven by an inferiority complex, revenge or greed. He is an old school Geopolitical thinker.

Soviet-Russo Victory Day. "As Allied troops entered and occupied German territory during the later stages of World War II, mass rapes took place, both in connection with combat operations and during the subsequent occupation that was to last many years. Most published and most numerous are the rapes committed by Soviet servicemen, for which estimates range from hundreds of thousands to two million. Soviet Military A wave of rapes and sexual violence occurred in Central Europe in 1944-45, as the Western Allies and the Red Army fought their way into the Third Reich. On the territory of the Nazi Germany, it began on 21 October 1944 when troops of the Red Army crossed the bridge over the Angerapp creek (marking the border) and committed the Nemmersdorf massacre before they were beaten back a few hours later. The majority of the assaults were committed in the Soviet occupation zone; estimates of the numbers of German women raped by Soviet soldiers range from the tens of thousands to 2 million. In many cases women were the victims of repeated rapes, some as many as 60 to 70 times. At least 100,000 women are believed to have been raped in Berlin, based on surging abortion rates in the following months and contemporary hospital reports,[4] with an estimated 10,000 women dying in the aftermath.[8] Female deaths in connection with the rapes in Germany, overall, are estimated at 240,000. Antony Beevor describes it as the "greatest phenomenon of mass rape in history", and has concluded that at least 1.4 million women were raped in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia alone."..............
