I repeat I take no sides but this war is major disruption in every capacity.,
The only thing Putin wanted was for someone to stand up and say "No Ukraine will not be a part of Nato" end of story. Nope the peacock feathers came out , the missles were launched and here the stock market sits. da beep dats all folks....
I call Male Bovine Feces. Putin has made it clear what his intentions are - reform the Soviet Union, weather it's called that or not. Putin gave his peace terms before he went into Ukraine - he wanted Nato to retreat to its pre 1996 borders, and give him full control over the former USSR and Warsaw Pact Nations.
After the USSR collapsed, Ukraine was promissed by Russia the UK and the USA that it would be protected according to its Internationally Recognized bordes of 1992 if it returned the Soviet Nuclear Weapons to Russia. Since Russia violated that agreement, the US and UK are upholding their part of the bargain.
Secondly, if Trump is your Lord and Saviour, then you need to prove to me that he is my Lord and Saviour too. You missed a golden opportunity on Good Friday. If he came back after 3 days, I'd be woshiping him too.
