    By the sanctions we did in Russia, it has cause the foreign countries to start going off the petro dollar and they are able to group together under different currencies.

    The link to WW3 is missing. Since you were talking about BRICS here is something I’d like to add: India also takes part in a quadrilateral organisation with the US. [1] So could it just be that India is being neutral and playing both sides?

    What you will find if you listen to anyone that knows the history of the region is that all along NATO and the US were directly involved in all of the countires that russia invaded.

    Source please.

    If we didnt stick our nose into every country around the world, the war would not be happening right now.

    I don’t think either of us can truly know how Russia would have acted had thins gone differently. But if Soviet history is anything to go by, it is not good.

    You gave no answer as to why Ukraine’s defense is futile.

      I dont know what countries for certain but it would be something like- China, Russia, Iran, the rest of the muslim world, etc vs NATO, Israel, etc. We are directly pushing all of those countries together.

      Dave probably lists out the reasons for the Ukraine war. Scott Horton goes into excruciating detail on the causes of the Ukraine war and lots more.

      Ukraines defense is futile because they dont have enough population, and it is showing in the median soldier age being in the 40s.

        Source please. Are they all willing to fight against the US in WW3? I can imagine Iran and their allies doing so, but the rest as well?

        A lot of factors play a role in Ukraines chances of victory, so you saying that Ukraine can’t win because population is really a weak argument. And history doesn’t allign woth this point either, take the first Chechen war, or the time that The USSR the US, invaded Afghanistan

        I find it quite unteresting that you on the one hand argue that Ukraine has the right to defend themselves and shouldn’t surrender, and on the other hand that Ukraine is going to lose anyway. How does that work?
