For instance: "Joe Biden addresses the Russian invasion of Ukraine saying, ‘Putin and his country will bear the consequences.’ "
Or Scott Morrison having a press conference at the moment about it.
Why? Why comment to people of the countries not involved? What value does it all? What purpose does it serve?
Genuine questions, i'm confused.. it's sad the situation in the Ukraine for sure, but i'm not interested in my Prime Minister putting on his big boy pants and talking game about it.
We might become involved,
Putin wants his land back, he's left himself wide open to attack since NATO came in, he has no natural protection from the countries to the west of Russia, it's just a big flat wasteland & he's scared that the western countries, under NATO, might try to advance upon "his" land.
I reckon the world will let him take over the Ukraine BUT if he keeps heading west, then the schnitzel will hit ze fanski.
Yeah agree.
If it was guaranteed to be only Ukraine the west would turn a blind eye.
Sadly I cant see China not letting this oppurtunity slip either.
