Putin escalates Ukraine war
I refer to The CNA’s Commentary: “Putin escalates Ukraine war by a step, not a leap, with missile experiment” (Nov 23).
Foremost, Zelenskyi’s intention to join Nato has greatly threatened the security and survival of Russia. Hence, Zelenskyy has offended Putin and Putin has no choice but to launch a war with Ukraine in February 2022.
Since the beginning of Russia-Ukraine War from February 2022 till today has lasted for thirty-three months. So far, we have seen Ukraine has lost four states, namely Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and
Kherson.
Further, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the land has endured 1,000 days of war. Some 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers and more than 12,000 civilians have been killed, nearly 4 million have been internally displaced, and more than 6.8 million have fled Ukraine for refuge (according to Western estimates).
In addition, Ukraine suffered a crushing defeat in Bakhmut in 2023, and in February 2024, the town of Avdiivka fell after months of Russian airstrikes.
Even if In August 2024, Ukraine had a brilliant performance on the battlefield, when the Ukrainian army launched a surprise invasion of Russia, occupying hundreds of square kilometers of land in the Kursk region, which is still occupying it today, as well as the Ukrainian army will first use the long-range tactical missile system ATACMS provided by the US military and the "Storm Shadow" long-range cruise missile jointly developed by Britain and France to strike Russian territory in Kursk (pointed out by 《Le Figaro》), it will be too late, as it will not change the fate of Ukraine's defeat on the battlefield.
Anyway, in Nov 21, 2024 President Vladimir Putin has adopted tit for tat stratagem, he ordered to fire a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) strike on Dnipro, Ukraine. This ICBM has been identified as an RS-26 Rubezh (It flies at Mach 10 and can carry six nuclear warheads).
At present, even if Russia and Ukraine recognize that after Trump is in power again, it is very likely to call for and prompt Putin and Zelensky to return to the peaceful negotiating table, however, according to the analysis of many military experts, Russia will definitely not return the four eastern regions of Ukraine that have been captured by sacrificing the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians, and Russia will do its best to demand more than 20,000 economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its European allies to be scrapped. At the same time, Russia also wants the United States to guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO. In other words, Ukraine is back to square one: it can't join NATO.
The valuable lessons that we can learn from the Russia-Ukraine War is, war is extremely destructive to any nation and her people. And, choosing a wise and capable top political leader to lead the country is also equally important.

This bloke loves attention.
That he has been largely ignored in recent times,he hungers for attention and so start a war to gain attention.
There is too much of vanity among world leaders these days.
This is why the world is in turmoil.
Even incoming Pres Trump is a vain-pot.
World leaders need to be wise and not just smart.
And,without humility,there can be no wisdom.

Ah Liang ah, before the Ukraine/Russia conflict, you didn’t know that war is extremely destructive to any nation and her people? Unless you were just born yesterday or you must be joking?
Yes, good leadership is extremely important to any country. However, Knowing that we have a very capable leadership is equally important. It’s just extremely stupid to make things difficult for a good leadership by always kpkb this, kpkb that when everything is in order.
Be wise, help yourself by helping the government. We are fortunate that our leadership is headed by LW, not cheap-lend-see-key.

“The valuable lessons that we can learn from the Russia-Ukraine War is, war is extremely destructive to any nation and her people. And, choosing a wise and capable top political leader to lead the country is also equally important.”
Yes, don’t choose leaders who foolishly follow others into wars.
Yes, don’t choose leaders who foolishly officially declare itself an enemy of a superpower.
If you don’t know who these leaders are, may God save your country.

When country leaders choose to join NATO, they are offering their people and country for sacrifice to Satan. Right?

“Putin escalates Ukraine war”
Predictable title, given the relationship between Sg and Russia.

Europe deny themselves the benefits of buying resources from Russia directly.
Blackrock can buy European farmland to control food.
Some gym-goers have been eating protein powder blended with insect protein.
I once heard a Caucasian laughed about Chinese eating offal. Actually burgers and sausages could be made from offal and testicles. Once, I bit on a toenail in a burger patty.

Joining Nato is to buy weapons from America. Every Nato country has to spend 2% of their GDP on weapons yearly so isn’t this an excellent business for the Americans? The lesson here is not to be led by the nose by the western powers especially the US, which works only for its own coffers. There are two Jewish leaders who are going to fall flat on their noses soon. Unfortunately their population suffers. The West has cleared all their outdated weapons using two fools. Now Ukraine has lost the War and in the Middle East Israel can no longer call itself the victim. All its atrocious actions against the Palestinians are open for all to see.

Do anyone know how many percent a non-NATO Sg spend on weapons yearly? 2% or 10%?
