It is amazing how many economists are active here in the forum

In the case of economic war, North America will be largely self sufficient but EU is in a lot of trouble.

In the End, Whoever is friend of USA find themselves in trouble after any this type of situation.
USA use them and throw them in Gutter after their self-fish motive is full filled.

After Independence from British raj two country emerge, Pakistan and India.
Pakistan make friendship which USA. India some what neutral but inclined toward Russia. At this stage India and Pakistan are same level of economy same army same type of all in factor.


Today, Pakistan become "terroristan" exporting terrorist all over the world. USA use drone anytime anywhere on anyone on so called "Sovereign state" . Biggest loser of "war on terror" is Pakistan. That war just completely destroy Pakistan economy. Ordinary Pakistani paying the price of USA friendship. Pakistani Army or Leader dare to speak anything about this issue. If they speak, USA threating Pakistan like a Gangster. On other side India become top IT exporter.

Same thing happening with "Ukraine" .
Ukraine leaders are literally begging in front of USA. Ordinary Ukraine People paying price of "USA friendship".

God knows what will be happen to EU after this war??? I do not think USA take side of EU. Like EU taking side of USA.

The only thing this shows is the amount of slaves USA have. This vote would have been the same no matter what.

What it really shows is that the UN is a giant joke of an international organization for having human rights abusers like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and Eritrea on its Human Rights Council.

It is like having foxes guard the chicken coop.

I didn't forget anything. It is you who forgot your ability to reason.

Your sad efforts at moral equivalence is simply astounding. Comparing the Western nations to Russia or China is like comparing a problem child to a murderer.

Once again, all the pro-Russian puppet apologists in this thread have been proven wrong. This time about the high Russian casualty rates. Mr. Peskov has served as Putin's spokesperson since 2000. Here are his recent admissions regarding troop losses:

Russia has admitted suffering "significant losses of troops" in Ukraine, as the invasion enters its 44th day. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told British channel Sky News the casualties were "a huge tragedy for us".

With all what the propaganda media reports it looks like Russia and Ukraine are the same when it comes to raping woman, girls and cows. It is something they took up from history, it's the perfect bad weapon in war.

I like the one with the cows, wonder why they didn't pick chickens.

War crimes confirmed by CBS news. I know that both sides of the war try to score political points through false reporting, so I always take a wait-and-see approach until independent third-parties confirm the facts. But Russian war crimes in Bucha are now confirmed by an independent news source.

The problem is that CBS news is far from an independent new source... Have you looked at their ownership structure?

To the best of my knowledge you don't have a 50/50 chance to get killed by the police if you have just different skin tone in russia and you are just walking on the street.
But hey, sure, keep considering the US as the western mecca with your ability to reason. Maybe you'll change your mind as soon as the US will fall into a civil war. Could happen pretty soon, i think.

Can you give us your thoughts on Ukrainian war crimes so far during the operation?

Is it better if they take Belarus ? I don't think so... they won't give up before the world burns.

You need to educate yourself. You seem to make random comments that are always wrong.

Here is an article written by a black American man, discussing the statistics. Each year in the U.S., more people get killed by a lightning strike than the umber of unarmed black men killed by the police.

For perspective, 27 Americans on average from 2009 to 2018 died annually after being struck by lightning. And, as Manhattan Institute's Heather Mac Donald explains, "A police officer is 18 and a half times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer."

I agree, but CBS was simply the first foreign news organization on site (as far as I know). Since then, dozens of other sources have confirmed the same report of war crimes and atrocities in Bocha and elsewhere.

Born Under Putin, Dead Under Putin: Russia’s Teenage Soldiers Dying in Ukraine​

Can you give us your thoughts on Ukrainian war crimes so far during the operation?

I am aware of one instance and, so far, Ukraine has pledged to handle the situation just like the Western nations would handle it. Again, there is a vast difference between ordering or ignoring war crimes (Russia) and punishing rogue elements of your armed forces who commit war crimes.

On Wednesday, the New York Times verified the veracity of a video that appears to show Ukrainian forces executing one Russian prisoner of war and leaving another to die on a road near Kyiv. The revelation puts Ukrainian President Zelensky in a tough spot. He has framed Ukraine’s fight as a struggle for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Holding Ukrainian forces accountable for war crimes would be consistent with that.

At the same time, it’s not easy, politically, to prosecute your own soldiers while they are holding off a brutal invasion. What’s more, the large presence of irregular, volunteer fighters on the Ukrainian side could complicate accountability for crimes like this. Asked about the incident on Thursday, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said “the Ukrainian army observes the rules of warfare” and pledged that any “isolated incidents will definitely be investigated."

So far, Ukraine has done the right thing. Meanwhile, the Russian military continues to commit atrocities.

Thank God for Ukraine and US not committing any war crimes, and thank Rupert Murdoch & NA education for teaching us all here on OCT forum about wars. Extremely valuable information shared here!

It is not just the West. Thank God for Russian patriots with the moral courage to stand up for truth and justice. I give credit where credit is due. Alexander Garnaev is a decorated "Hero of the Russian Federation."

Alexander Garnaev, a Russian test pilot who was awarded one of his country's highest honors, said this week that his decision to resign from his post in protest of the invasion of Ukraine caused a backlash.
