My question is: Let’s say the situation is as this way: Russia has a war in Africa- with one of the African countries.Will the sanctions be this tough?
Africa is not a Western democracy so of course not. Stupid question.
@The Don oh The Don .Thank you 🙏 my dear google search. Thank you for your highly intellectual and obvious answer to my obviously stupid question. Your sarcastic answer in the aim of mocking me – or whatever purpose you trying to prove by ending « stupid questions >. Your intellectuality is highly valued Don.😀
Sanctions didn’t work with Iran or Israel because there’s always a creative way to go around it. The west is not the world and it’s echo chambers like this one is just that, echos.
SHAME on ICJ.why you did not investigate the killings of more than millions of innocent people in Japan,Vietnam,Iraq,Libya,Syria & throughout the world by US & it’s allies ?
Al-Jazeerah’s doing just Pentagon propaganda, no wonder, the majority of arabe countries leaders are corrupted by the USA and Israel (their people supports palestinian freedom fight, but they can’t say it), the same who’ve betraied palestinians until today…..
Ahhhhhhhh…the evil West always think that they are the masters of everything especially their stupid fiat money…🤭
Very much one-sided explanation so we again we are incapable to estimate what can do Russia with its internal financial means, with gold reserves, with financial ties to China, etc. Maybe Western media (and its affiliates) seems totally forgetting what is real information and practicing pure propaganda?
Cut also email interconnection at web
Putin is great
Lets pUtin to hit bottom rock.
I am fed up of America bully all the countries and destroying it and then act innocent when blamed . It’s time to join Russia and bring down America once and for all .
His Generals should create pressure to pUtin.
Funny documentary! Sanctions works both way and you only say the Russians are the one affected. What abt the other party? Citizens of EU and the world? You think the gas or oil will be cheaper? These western media are so naive! This is a typical one sided story created by the west.
Wtf is with that stupid music?
To Ukraine🇺🇦.
Whole world will forget everything. We forget world War 2 just written in history. Nato and west never take step u be a part of nato. You should know. They just donate money and war machine to you. Rest in your hand would you like to make your country Afghanistan.
My question is can we bomb Moscow? If not, I am not interested.
Stop spreading bullshit of sanctions. Russia has been under sanctions for ages now. Not everyone is as dumb as western public.
Sanctions are the bare minimum to fool the western public and to justify using tax payers money to buy weapons from corporations.
It will all be business as usual after Kiev falls. It’s always the poor and the weak countries.
I can’t believe people fall for this bullshit of sanctions??
TL;Dr the West, Capitalism, NATO and their allies, are the number 1 source of suffering on Earth (probably in the universe too).
The background sound is irritating. It makes it difficult to hear clearly.
Everyone knows why this war started because of NATO and US
I hope Russia and China and other nearby countries of USSR start their own currency and economy and cut the West
Waiting for beverage/snack chip king, Pepsico to bail on Russia! Here’s just one glimpse into their lengthy Russian history: In 1972, PepsiCo revamped their connections and struck a deal whereby Stolichnaya vodka would be exchanged for Pepsi syrup. This lasted until 1990, when the USSR and PepsiCo re-negotiated a $3 billion deal to exchange syrup for vodka and a small fleet of Soviet warships including 17 submarines, a frigate, a cruiser and a destroyer. That deal fell through before it could take place due to the fall of the Soviet Union and was renegotiated with former nations of the USSR. The new trade deal included receiving cheese from Russia to supply its Pizza Hut locations and receiving double-hulled tankers from Ukraine.
Nowadays, people are power. Sooner or later Russians will speak up. There is no way Putin will kill his own countryman at this situation. Or else they are inviting attack by joint attack of countries
“Putin’s style” at the end of the video.. Well, you guys need to watch another video about how Putin has seized his authority across the past decades. The Western side needs to focus on his style and prepare for the next move. I expect it will turn out to be more terrible and uglier especially for both citizens..
The globalists are trying to break russia so they rebuild as a multicultural paradise like the west. they will do the same to china and every other country until we are all under the same bullshit as the west is with open borders and globalist control
Russian economy will be double f*cked. After several yrs spent being integrated into the global economy and now being cut off will destroy it.
20% interest will destroy those who have mortgages. And those businesses with dollar denominated loans are going to close. More unemployment for Russia
Russia 🇷🇺 is Great don’t fool yourself. The power is shifting to East no more Western Empire
NutTO is a military alliance serving the grandmaster , the US who now commands that NutTO will also be an economic alliance . With their might , no country will be 100% independent . The UNo who will be the endorsing/stamping authority . What kind of world will that be …….
US and UK are the main Evil in this world. They invaded countries, killed millions, provoke Russia to attack Ukraine.
NO TO USA NUKE THAT KILLS JAPANESE PEOPLE AND BABIES ! ALSO THEY KILLED MANY MUSLIM PEOPLE ! RISE BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN PRODUCTS!! AND UK PRODUCT NOW
what has been experienced by Ukraine..the Palestinians have experienced it for a long time…but the world is silent..seeing the ferocity of the terrorist state of Israel..
Don’t forget Palestine!
teh jews lived in the palestine/israel for thousands of years. arabs and jews are the SAME people – semites. only different religion. so perhaps do not follow fake religions ans focus on the REALITY, teh physical world? like water and food and shelter?
palestinians are 20% of the state of israel. they live there in peace and prosperity. imagine – could it be possible for jews to be 20% of saudi arabia? or egypt? or syria?
go on – answer !
Rubbish! Cuba is still running!
It’s wrong..
If west attack on any country then it’s okay but if Russia attack for their security then it’s not good.
It’s an economical war against Russian Federation.
Defend on peace & justice is selective? I am not against Ukraine but what’s about Palestine,Iraq, Afghanistan war? why world leaders hadn’t same sympathy same as Ukraine?
You should do one on the effect the sanctions are having on European countries and the US.
Bet thats not happening
In Canada, our Ministry of Finance is in the news saying that some of the economic sanctions might end up hurting the Canadian economy. This is a price most Canadians are willing to pay. If paying more for a litre of gas will contribute to stopping the bombs falling on Kiev it’s a pretty small price to pay.
The effect hasn’t hit the populations in an overly significant way yet, from what I know. Most countries have reserves, so until those run out there won’t be significant effects to report on. It may have impacted large scaled businesses at this point, but that probably isn’t news worthy either yet. The only noteworthy matter would be energy and oil costs in European countries, but the US was always rather independent of that system so that does not affect Americans as much as Europeans.
NUKE Russia now.
RUSSIA BIG LOW
BEFOR and AFTER
Isolating Russia will not help anything, sanctions will further increase Russia bitterness and rather prefer dying with the world by means of nuclear vengeance than to suffer western oppression
Sanctions dont work they will just work their way through it like the way Iran did
Sanctions are biting.the new russian generation have different outlooks from their parents. It won’t take time before things change in Russia.
if war could have been won with sanctions or money……..
So this is the west declaring war on Russia.
Have faith in your president. He will do what is in Russia’s best interest, even if it hurts now, be faithful, it is all for good future.
The west WANTS you to be angry at your leaders, that is what their strategy has always been, but be strong and resilient, your nationality, your identity and your Russian Blood is being tested. Do no falter. Stand strong and fight. For Russia is the sole power holding the Centre and the East against all of West. We must support Russia for standing against the world Bullies.
Putin needs to style it out and say yes we done our mission we can retreat,those burned out army convoys there Ukrainian those dead soldiers Ukrainian we have no forces in Ukraine o and prisoners those are separatist terrorist keep them, sorted.
This is an attack on citizens
Putin should just have been enjoying his life as usual but instead he just can’t stop his obsession
how about eastern country crippling economy when the middle east stop selling oil to western bully country…
It will work until the Russian decides to nuke us
to punish genocide and despots are HUMAN thing. not just ‘western’ . unless the rest of the world thinks constant warfare of the last 8000 years of the human civilisation shoudld CONTINUE another centureis. i dont
have u ever heard of bitcoin…
We keep hearing how powerless the ordinary Russians are and how much they will suffer because of the sanctions. It is true that they will suffer but powerless they are not. Previous to 1917 the Tzarist regime appeared to be invincible and look what happened to them. There is a precedent.
Bitcoin seems strong.Maybe Russians are converting all their roubles into bitcoin.
When NATO murdered Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, Western media called it “Military intervention” and they no longer bother to report that the evil military action led by Obama has left the country in worse condition.
George Walker Bush and Tony Blair lied that Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti has weapon of mass destruction (WMD) just to invade Iraq. After they destroyed the country and captured Saddam Hussein who was consequently executed, Bush said “We do not know whether or not (Iraq) has nuclear weapon.” Both men who engineered a tragedy that took over 250,000 lives are not even facing trials for war crimes. Western media do not paint them in bad light as it ought to be.
Western media will not tell you that Ukraine has been forcing Luhansk and Donetsk regions to be part of it, in spite of vast majority of the people choosing to be independent via a referendum. What they want you to believe is that Vladimir Putin is bullying innocent Ukraine for pleasure.
Western media will not tell you that trampling on Ukraine’s sovereignty is not Moscow Kremlin’s main aim but survival against US-led NATO’s encroachment, with the insistence on admitting Ukraine into NATO after allowing other Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia to join.
America can recognise the independence of Taiwan but Russia cannot recognise the independence of Luhansk and Donetsk.
America can recognise Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel but Russia cannot take back its people in Crimean Peninsula after they voted to join them.
Western media want you to believe that the West is always right while Russia and China are the perpetual bad guys.

IF RUSSIA ONLY STOPS A SINGLE GAS PIPELINE… WHOLE EUROPE WILL BE BROUGHT TO KNEESS….. CHILLY BONES WILL CRIPPLE DUE TO COLD…
PROPAGANDA CHANNEL…
I absolutely support Ukrainians and their supporters they are defending their future their land and country
They are braves
You’re wrong. You don’t even know the truth about this war
Strongly support russia. Ukraine stood with Israel against Palestine. Russia hit the Ukrainis harder so that they dont play in NATO hands next time
I’m still yet to see one country that have capitulated to western sanctions instead most countries tend to double down on their chosen path. I believe sanctions is a sign of western cowards instead of fighting like a man.
This channel needs to be banned . This channel is a propaganda machine that protect dictators and in english has a more soft voice , but foster hate in arabic. Here giving a message defending scumbags like Putin .
it’s not about ukraine, it’s about nordstream pipe. In two weeks the world oil price will reach $150/barrel, and the beneficiaries are a few rich people in America, Europe, and the Middle East. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of Americans and Europeans will be harmed because of inflation and winter. It is time for donald trump to seize power from an incompetent biden to deal with this situation, or states like texas, georgia, etc. to declare independence immediately.
Why you don’t tell us where Covid 19 has gone since the Ukraine war? Does Covid fear war? No new strains? No new cases?
We need to sanction all Russian people and products, Not a select few. All Ukrainian people are under attack, not a select few. The comfort of the west is not more important than the lives and freedom of the Ukrainian people. Ban Russian oil.
Putin must not be let off the hook. Naive Russian army personnel are innocent service-men just doing their duties!
A state can never be owned by an individual like idiotic, thugish minded Putin.
e.g. Russia of Russians have a great business relationship with Bangladesh, and this friendship will continue but insanely ambitious and greedy V. Putin is nothing but a parasite and should be brought to Justice for crimes against humanity in “Saddam of Iraq’s trial style” and held personally liable for economic dameges caused to naive sufferers, -which must be applied as well to all other similar criminals including just a few individuals identifiable as “Covid-19 Business Master-planners in UK, USA, Israel, China” and other ones in N. Korea, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Iran + etc.
Anglo-Hebruish advisers of Covid business in US-CA are causing political sabotages for fooled jb’s and jt’s leaderships in North America.
Precious knowledge:
The reality created by fear causing Covid-criminals that’s inflicting sufferings on countless ‘hard-working folks in all corners of the world.
[Deeper insights:
This is an age of quick spreading awareness and no leader on earth can get away without paying the price of consequences of their wrongdoings after undermining the sentiment of the majority of common folks.
To start with catching, the best examples of HGP’s global mission of positive change, would be Putin, Kim and the masterminds of Covid-Business-criminals.
It’s sad to see, for an unclear purpose or reason, our leaderships in North America is still implementing the profiteering, evil agenda of outlandish ‘Covid Business master-planners’.
If the sense of morality was stronger than personal interest or ego, then “our leadership – under outlandish political pressure” would grab the opportunity and use it as an aliby to indirectly help stop grand thievery of public funds through local agents like A. Fauci and then by big evil-network of Covid Vaccine and Tests.
2022 is the perfect time to amend or make and enforce new sets of stricter laws in kind of Saudi or North Korea styles so that severe punishments or long term jail sentences with hard labor (to compensate for and defray the costs of incarnation) are imposed against social criminals as that are badly required by almost all the crime infested (products of too lenient, humatatian 1950 – 1990s VIEWs) nations including Canada, USA and Europe. All the justices departments in the world, unlike the dishonestly, rotten British standard of justice system, are in desperate need of “BETTER SERVING MODEL OF NEW AGE” enforcing tougher punishments against social crimes whether it be wealthy Bill Gates or a poor Street mugger.
There will be no alternative to strongest possible punishments against all perpetrators in social levels, the murderers and defrauders. Period.
Hey agents of secretive systemic manipulators of evil UK in disguise of harmless bosses of public organizations, banking, insurance, health, trade sectors, crown Corporation, “registrars, clerks, gate-keepers of Courts of Law in North America”.
.************
Now as of mid February 2022, dear Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden, please stop the nonsense rhetoric of Covid restrictions you both are continuing beyond acceptable limit in terms of public credibility and patience in North America, and therefore must adjust your speeches as per the reality and aspirations of North Americans in year 2022.
Dear jt and jb, be informed that both of you are definitely in wrong direction with this Omicron (by listening to advice of your hebruish-anglo advisers with outlandish agenda).
You can choose either: to hear the voice of majority and act in respect to their wishes or to continue to suppressing general public sentiment, but surely you or jb can’t fool the ordinary North American citizenry anymore with the illusory so called scientific data etc. propagated by a special interest small group in profiteering Covid Business.
Remember, the base of supports you and jb got from me since bo’s days in the office as POTUS (go through the hundreds of my emails sent to your desks with non-violent motivations and precious insights for Liberals & Democrats on either side of US-CA border).
Dear jt & jb, instead of acting complacent and inadvertently destroying your own credibility, positions and party bases, wake up and look out of the windows at the sheer volumes of unhappy average folks along with the Canadian truckers that with the support of common folks all over, are actually turning into majority, gathering in your front yards, they are on global streets from Sweden to India, whereas the safe-haven of Covid business masterplanners, the hub of Covid Vaccine and test related material tradings -the UK (wait and see, as of February 1, 2022 PM of UK: bj shall begin to singing totally different tune of ‘antilockdown, no restrictions Covid rhetoric’) as if they are the first rescuers and liberator of the world from the catastrophic Covid.
Soon, just like you, jb of US would be overwhelmed by general public reactions, and be feeling abandoned once “brain-washed by the outlandish Covid criminals” – he, out of his foggy mind, gets in touch with the reality of present time!
Do not even listen to the advice of those ‘good for nothing specialists influenced by big pharma covid vaccine money’.
Regardless of well-bribed or not, with common-sense you guys in top positions, if not ‘delusional like A. Fauci or B. Gates with insanely greed for money’ should ask this logical, simple question to your own selves: where is the regular ‘constantly mutating seasonal flue in this winter of 2022’? ???
You have the answer: “Oh my cron” is nothing but a variant of naturally modified form of lab-modified Covid version of winter flu – which became merchandise of Covid business criminals, in the name of scientific data researches in labs of UK, China, USA etc., have been creating Virus-panic with fear mongering twisted facts via broadcast in all sorts of media with only one purpose of making furtunes in collaboration of their accomplices like “Bill Gates, the criminally motivated ownerships of profiteering Covid vaccine and related product manufacturers”.
In 2022, the above stated too greedy criminals attempted again to get most of what’s left in public health funds in care of poorly or unwisely run global governments elsewhere including our North America.
And by befriending with and believing in the words of North American agents of the evil “a fringe, British Anglo-hebruish agenda of a very small group” mistakenly you guys are ‘caught in a trap and clearly seen on the global stage’.
However, now in 2022, both of you (jt & jb with my precious insights) shall have the opportunity to come clean and lead the entire world ‘of hard-working, good, honest folks, in very transparent, real progressive ways by exposing to the world all the truth and facts you have learned about the deliberately plotted and wel-orchestrated Covid-19 business matter and the positive impact of such acts of morality on collective sentiments of global public will never be forgotten by the generations to come.
Detached from the North-American sources of wealth through mainly Insurance-Underwriting, Vaccine, Medicine, Bombs, War-toys, USAID, Canadian natural resources, oil, money printing etc., the ‘furtively ever systemically manipulating’, double faced, evil-masterminds, a very small, Hebruish-Anglo group are already engaged in covert trade relationship with China and its’ business partners in order to continue their usual invisible crimes of thievery of wealth from other nations, but by the whim of *cosmic thing* their identities would be exposed along with all their associats with heinous money making strategies using the so called scientific data and attempting to further prolong the fear mongering virus business in 2022, by creating situations for wars, productions of destructive materials, bombs, war-toys, war machines, nuke, fuel etc. by propaganda-broadcast of items like natural fuel shortages, ‘global warming etc. etc. .
{N. B. There are just a half of a dozen of races including jews in Arabian territories, and less than only 0.000001% of them are evil-mastermind Semetic criminals like Bill Gates -who have xenophobic, depopulating kind of mass murderers’ mentality) and sadly, a nonsense, anti-semitic law (made a century ago after Hitler-Era ended, and in 2022 it desperately in need to be repealed) is now being used to protect the above noted criminals at top only and not even slightly to benefit the 99.99999% ordinary, good, peace-loving honest jews, Arabs (and other minorities as well}.
*************
Fact finding as example:
Bill Gates is one of the master culprits -who first became billionaire from creating so named computer virus (hard sisk of computer jamming cookies) and selling mainly through crooked UK based prducts of so called computer-anti-virus softwares, without being held responsible by any authority for their defrauding business practices -which encouged the same elusive group of culprits plot a new evil scheme that involved a lab-modified mixture of humanly transmittable seasonal flu virus with anthrax type other viruses. Then, tests of human-virus: Ebola was performed in some locations in Africa with satisfactory results -which in a labiratory modified and developed form with a new name: Covid-19 has been tested in recent past on crowded places like Cruise Ships and Markets with successful outcome.
(WRITTEN 22 MONTHS AGO: Readers of this informational thought-work should help generate awareness among fellow folks in all corners of the world about the outlandish STRATEGIES to create virus fear and broadcast worldwide by which the highly secretive jobs of “fear of Covid virus spreading” has been done using most of the fooled global governments like America, Bangladesh, Canada, Zimbabwe etc.).} ].

Exercising for ONE WORLD ORDER”‘;!!BAD IDEA FREEZING EVERYTHING IN RUSSIA…REMEMBER PRESIDENT IS DANGEROUS MAN”‘:;!+IF HE FEEL HURT OF FREEZING EVERYTHING???NUCLEAR WAR MAY HAPPEN”‘;!
Not even in your dream…weatern world is nothing !
Went today to my bank (Russia). There was a German, I guess, guy, who, probably, was traveling around Russia, when the sanctions hit it. And he turned out to be in a foreign country without money (our President banned all foreign currencies, and Europe blocked all foreign bank cards in Russia) and a way go back home, because of the ban to fly in the sky of Europe for Russian planes and vice versa. There’re no embassies in the town. A dead-end situation for the poor guy. He looked so hopeless, when he was opening an account with the bank in Russian rubles, I don’t know what’s for. He was whispering to the bank managers or speaking in low voice, probably affraiding, that someone hears his English…I was looking at him and thinking: who do the europe or us think they imposed sanctions on? On us or themselves? A stick has two ends. And the world is so “altogether”, that hitting one nation hits in your people first. There’s something so unwise and improvident in that “sanctions” idea, that it’s getting scary for the world being in such ambilaevous hands…
The US and EU can impose sanctions or they can have a direct conflict with the Russian army in another world war. Which would you prefer? I feel sorry for the Russian people because they are going the way of the North Koreans.
the war happened bacause Nato is in your doorstep which is not good
Strict sanctions or what cause the Soviet regime to fall and it will cause Vladimir Putin to fall and there will not be a flat Amir Putin to protect him and his family
What if russia makes their own economy? 😱
When the Sobibor DEATH CAMP was liberated, it was discovered that there were Ukrainian guards working there. And they out numbered the Germen 10 to 1.
And american citizens will spend $500 to fill up the gas tank of a Honda civic in a few months. USA buys from Russia. You also don’t acknowledge the strength of China’s bank account….who backs up Putin.
Time to use CIPS of china. All AFRICAN,SOUTH AMERICAN,ASIAN BANKS need to come forward . The west is showing their true colours.. They don’t want another payment system . Significant opportunities can be made by OIC countries to harness their Islamic banking from now. CBIC is good because China never goes on guns blazing like uncle sam.
your money is not safe in any western bank
Sanctions never works and it is ineffective, it only causes the innocent citizens of the condemned country unnecessary suffering. So many instances of sanctions imposed on rogue countries did not bring them to their knees or senses. What did Russia say in response? They replied : “will carry on with the invasion until they achieve their objectives!
Sanctions in fact increases the number of the Russian who hates Westerns.
Thank you very much Western countries.
All of this was ignited by the western mafia who’s aim was to weaken Russia but unfortunately civilians in Ukraine have to suffer.
You bow down to west or get ready for sanctions and war. Keep making them money or die. If you are their puppet, you get all kinds of support like media coverage, financial aid, war equipment and you are innocent no matter what you do even if you cut a journalist into pieces with a bone saw, you should still be fine.
This is why there’s no coverage for Yemen, Palestine and Syria, even though they are going through the biggest human crisis on the face of the earth. Let alone stopping it, west is providing more war equipment to their neighboring countries to continue all the atrocities. Also, if you retaliate and strive for freedom, you will be labeled as terrorist but if you are a puppet of west, then you are a freedom fighter.
Very common repeating pattern, Taiwan for China, Israel for Iran, Saudi for Yemen, Ukraine for Russia, India for Pakistan and so on. Why engage in a direct conflict when this can be done by a neighboring country who hate each other. Just work on a regime change through CIA, provoke and fund local groups who can arrange fake protests, spread false information through mainstream media, kill or arrest the current ruler who is not like minded and setup stage for a puppet leader, support financially and provide war equipment and here you are, a full fledged army is ready to fight for you without risking the lives of their own citizens.
Here’s a question. What if China then invaded Taiwan and we had to put more sanctions on China. How hard would that hit the EUUS economy? and I hope this isn’t the plan of Russia and China knowing we’d sanction them.
Where were these sanctions when USA and its allies invaded Iraq, when Israel kills thousands of civilians in Palestine.
I don’t support what Russia is doing in Ukraine it is terrible. The thing is that there is So Much Hypocrisy in this world.
I mean Russia uses the same excuse to invade the Ukraine that USA used to invade a number of countries directly or indirectly.
She forgot to mention China which is a gaping hole for Russia to earn hard currencies thru’ selling oil and natural gas.
The west will be hurted too
Beautiful
Sanctions are an independance tax payed to USA. USA is dumping europe civillians and economy.
“Putin will never turn back, that’s his style” Dead man walking…
How Western sanctions could cripple western economies. And make China and its new friend Russia very very happy.
Germany the Industrial powerhouse of Europe gets 40% of its gas from Russia, when it stops because of sanctions then Germany’s industry will collapse, Europe will go into Bankruptcy and all energy bills will go to new levels, wheat will treble, The west is already under High living cost ,soon because of sanctions, inflation will go to 15% – 20% very quickly which means interest rates will go to 8% to 12% to stop hyper inflation, which will mean millions into bankruptcy and homelessness, after Davos they did tell us that we would own nothing and be happy “THE BIG RESET” happy in the Metaverse
These sanctions ironically mean many industries that operated somewhat outside the main sphere of the Kremlin, now will be in debt and an opportunity for the Kremlin to renationalise them thereby consolidating Putins power.
Sooner or later not only Russia’ll be in economic crisis, but the whole Europe. Who knows maybe this war’ll be continuing for 10 years
You guys out of date, get you knowledge update. In today digital we do not need switch to run your country. Soon Putin will use his nuke and sanctions becoming unimportant, we all dies.
NATO didn’t create this situation we are in now. The Second World War did. So please stop blaming NATO and the west for what Russia is now doing. I personally don’t want war any were in the world. This is 2022 do we not learn from the past and move on. No because there are always individuals that want more power and cash that are willing to send other people to there deaths to get what they want. They do not care about others and blame others when things go wrong and then try and justify a reason to go to war.
There is never a justification to go to war by any country in this day and time. It is alway down to one single person in the beginning starting a war or conflict by brainwashing of intimidation others to start a conflict. The problem is most of us are weak or to afraid to stand up to these people and stop them before it gets out of control. Elon Musk is probably wright we will destroy our beautiful planet we call home all because one person wants more power and is will to condemn us all to get what they want what ever the cost.
It’s about time we dismantle all military equipment around the world and move on and become a civilised civilisation and more out to the stars in peace and explanation of our universe. I believe we have a obligation to spread life not just human life but all life from this planet around what may be lifeless universe
Putin will be hung in the central square by his own people
207K death toll in Iraq when the USA invaded Iraq compare to 2,870 death toll in Ukraine.
