Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Tanvi Madan doesn't realise that Russia and China have their differences too.
They've already signed an agreement to leave those issues behind.

I don't think the Russians will interfere in a US-China war. But the war will drive them towards other objectives in the West and the ME.

This map would help explain why Russia will become more important in the near future.

The Russians are bound to use the Northern Route and the Transpolar Route to their advantage due to their dominant position in the region, and there's nothing Europe and the US can do about it. Geography always wins.
You do see Alaska right there? That's the US.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Outgoing Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sharply criticized Russian leader Vladimir Putin for the killings of innocent civilians in Ukraine, saying while the two of them have been tagged as killers, “I kill criminals, I don’t kill children and the elderly.”

Duterte, who openly calls Putin an idol and a friend, voiced his rebuke for the first time over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in remarks aired Tuesday where he blamed the three-month old war for the spike in global oil prices that has battered many countries, including the Philippines.

While stressing he was not condemning the Russian president, Duterte disagreed with Putin’s labeling of the invasion as a “special military operation,” and said it was really a full-scale war waged against “a sovereign nation.”

Notice the new flags being sported. Seems like communism is making a comeback. It's already trying to organise a famine for Africa in true communist tradition.



  • Experts say Russia's economy is "imploding" as exports to the sanctioned country fall.
