1.) Ukraine is not part of NATO.
2.) The EU would suffer just as much from sanctioning Russia as Russia would.
3.) Biden appears to be cowardly and incompetent.
His ideal outcome would be to intimidate NATO into appeasement. Failing that, he doesn't have cause to believe that a limited military action would draw more than angry rants.

It leaves them vulnerable to invasion and there is historical precedent.
As weak as Biden seems, he cannot let this one happen or it will be the end of the Democrats and Western Europe cannot allow this to happen either.
Russia does not have the might to stand up to NATO.
Western Europe would suffer greatly, but Russia would collapse. It is a kleptocracy and they would not allow themselves to lose what they stole already. Putin is part of a system and the system would rid themselves of him.
I am not saying Russia is evil in its intent. I fully acknowledge regardless of what we feel, it is in Russian interests to protect their vulnerabilities. I also believe Russia and Putin are rational actors. It would be an irrational act to provoke NATO and larger European Union either with military or economic problems.
☘Misericordia☘If Russia was such a great benefactor, why did almost all of Eastern Europe run to NATO?

It would appear everything is deteriorating. The US/Israel vs Iran negotiations seem to be getting nowhere because both sides have added more issues that they know the other side won't accept.The EU has more or less flagged it will apply sanctions to Russia if it sends in troops to Ukraine, but it will not send in troops. As a biting sanction, it will shut down the Nord Stream gas pipe, but so far they are refusing to open it so that is not much of a threat, and Biden has refused to promise no missiles in Ukraine in the future.
China has been very quiet, but if the US gets tangled in Iran and Ukraine, can it do anything to stop an opportunistic China from taking Taiwan? From a strategic point of view, all of this does not look good.

Adam Smith is also not exactly American, Spanish or whatever, however many countries embraced his theories. So what?
To have a revolution going, the funding would be secondary, tertiary or whatever, you can't buy it - you still need a huge number of people who feel desperate enough to revolt. Tsarist Russia was a very backwards country.

Mis, you should full well know that the composition of Soviet military was always of mixed ethnicities. 2.5 million Ukrainians perished at the front, defending Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and all the other places... You can't single out nor prove numerically that certain ethnicity bore more brunt than the other
☘Misericordia☘ wrote: "Which is a military crime which's a bit worse than an intervention...."I've put links before where Russians are wanted for military crimes of downing a Malaysian plane and others... But I guess they won't appear.
It should be remembered that it was Russia that extracted Yanukovich and send troops to subvert Ukrainian authorities in the East. Naturally, all the losses on both sides were avoidable otherwise...

Nik wrote: "2.5 million Ukrainians perished at the front, defending Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and all the other places...

Dead military of Red Army in WW2:
Russians - 5 756 000 - 66% of all dead
Ukrainians - 1 377 400 - 15% of all dead
Belarussians - 252 900 - 3% of all dead
Tatars - 187 700 - 2% of all dead
Jews ;- 142 500 - 1,6% of all dead
The total composition of Red Army in WW2:
• @ 1 Jan 1940: Russians — 63,98 %, Ukrainians — 18,79 %, Belarussians — 3,67 %, Asians — 2,63 %;
• @ 1 Jul 1940: Russians — 60,97 %, Ukrainians — 19,58 %, Belarussians — 4,13 %, Asians — 4,22 %;
• @ 1 Jan 1941: Russians — 56,39 %, Ukrainians — 20,24 %, Belarussians — 4,35 %, Asians — 5,32%, Tatars — 1,99 %, Jews — 1,84 %.
Mind it that Russians and Jews died more than was their fair share, if we are talking stats here.

Let's also imagine Petrov cries bloody murder and refuses to own up to his own ideas. Would you say Russia had nothing to do with this Petrov and the sudden popularity of his ideas?
Papaphilly wrote: "If Russia was such a great benefactor, why did almost all of Eastern Europe run to NATO"Why did the USSR fall apart? I think the answer to both Qs would be the same.

Do I have to repeat facts like a parrot for you to sit up and pay attention?
To fact check you can do 2 things: google Lenin on Wiki and pay attention to where he lived when (it would be about 70% correct) or look up his diaries. Or maybe look up articles by researchers who did the math.
It's roughly about 200 days that he lived in Russia during 15 years before and during the revolution.
☘Misericordia☘ wrote: "Nik wrote: "2.5 million Ukrainians perished at the front, defending Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and all the other places...

Nik wrote: "I've put links before where Russians are wanted for military crimes of downing a Malaysian plane and others...

Can I please remind you that the Malaysian plane debacle is not as clear cut as you make it to be, both sides are pointing at each other and if it doesn't look like a false flag op, I dunno what is. Basically, my point is: if Russians did it, we should see all evidence disclosed.
Let's also remember that it was Ukraine that put military planes up long before any people went up in arms over there. What's even more, Ukraine attacked civilian buildings that contained lots of civilian people with those planes.
Let's also kindly pay attention to Odessa (where supposedly about 50-150 ethnic Russians all burned and beaten themselves to death being very uncautious using fire).
Also to Kiev where some unnknown snipers shot to death about 100 ppl.
To journalists who are getting routinely killed in Ukraine (Buzina, Gongadze, Kostenko, etc) - essencially, it you are proRussian, you get killed, only Ukraine-hailing journlists are allowed to work and live).
Extracting Janukovich? What was even happening in the supposedly democratical Ukraine that he even needed extracting?
Nik wrote: "Don't share your excitement about word quizzes :( What's the point and who would understand?"My Qs weren't focused on words but were about cultural things that only a person who actually lived there would've known and would've had a great laugh about them. While to a Russian, Polish, French, etc, it would be a 'word quiz'. They wouldn't even recognize.Your reply demonstrates you're definitely NOT from Ukraine. I think it would be only fair if you admitted you were lying all along about your background.
☘Misericordia☘ wrote: "It's roughly about 200 days that he lived in Russia during 15 years before and during the revolution...."So? Of course, he was on the run, in Russia he would've been arrested. He's still Russian, isn't he? How he's whereabouts prove anything?
Oh, Wikipedia would be 70% accurate, but you will be 100% :) Yeah, right
Nik wrote: "In such cases Papaphilly likes to say: "You make my point for me" :) Don't know how accurate your data is, but according to it - roughly 40% non- Russians were fighting to defend Russia and other parts of the USSR."You are not only a bad Ukrainian but a horrible statistician as well, LOLIf 20% of Ukrainians fought contributing to only 15% who died AND 56% of Russians fought and contributed to 66% of deaths, that's telling. And not the story you're spinning.
Also, kindly note that Armenians, Georgians, Jews, pure Asian and the like contributed at least as much as Ukraine, if we are measuring contributions. Even considering it wasn't their Ukraine that the fight was on. I think you might be on your way to prove Ukraine ows lands to them all. (Kindly note that wasn't my idea but where your lack of logic led you)

What's the point? I don't feel I need to prove anything about myself. I believe our members would be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. I believe you are from Senegal, basing on your profile: " Female, ✨⁂City⚜of✦Friendship✧and✷Skyfire✵, 7, Senegal " , not sure about - female :)

1/ He was part-Kalmyk, part-Jew, not Russian by about 80%+. Actually, I've got a lot of the same heritage, LOL
2/ But how did he fund all that travelling? What did his ideas have to do with Russia? Arrested, okay. Isn't that what's supposed to happen to revolutionaries on their way to revolution? Or how else are you supposed to do that revolution? By writing letters from a luxurious spa overseas?
I do my research, while some people who write on Wiki are about as knowledgeable as you are about Ukraine, Nikky.

How come you're still claiming to be Ukrainian?Yes, let's discuss Senegal and my gender, It's all so very relevant. LOL
☘Misericordia☘ wrote: "1/ He was part-Kalmyk, part-Jew, not Russian.

so, it would be unlikely in Lenin's lineage too...
☘Misericordia☘ wrote: " How come you're still claiming to be Ukrainian?..."Were I claiming to be Ukrainian? Being borne, growing up there and doing biz there regularly doesn't make me Ukrainian :)
If anything I'm more Russian and as such I regret Russia had reverted to military aggression towards what was once believed - a fraternal nation
Nik wrote: " interreligious marriages weren't legally recognized in tsarist Russia"iterreligious marriages were just fine considering the non-Christians converted to Christianity, of course. Which didn't stop the Buddhist Kalmyks from being Kalmyks, as you probably can imagine.At least that's how my Kalmyk and Khakas ancestors operated. It's also an often referred to in lit social lifehack of that time.
Nik wrote: "Were I claiming to be Ukrainian? Being borne, growing up there and doing biz there regularly doesn't make me Ukrainian :)
If anything I'm more Russian and as such I regret ." You're none of those things or you would've gotten at least some of my cultural quest thingy :) You don't live in Ukraine without getting at least some of its culture. Kids as young as 7-8 would've gotten at least some answers right.
Maybe you were born there and left really young... A possibility, I think. Still, that would preclude you from being an authority on all things Ukrainian. You can't know the country unless you get the culture/language and have at least travelled around it for quite some time or lived there or smth. As is, you're just retelling a bunch of newspapers (some really dated, it seems) and/or some googling (in English, I might add) and a bunch of stuff that maybe you can discuss with other expats of Ukrainian descent.
None of these have the potential of taking you out of the echo chamber of the popular opinions or letting you just go out in the street and see people, talk to them, see what they do and how they live and what they think about stuff...

I doubt you really want to know more than to cast doubt, but a bit of my bio is not a secret either :)
I'd left USSR for Israel in the age of 17, and returned to already independent Ukraine a few years later for work and biz. There were years when my schedule was 10 days Ukraine, 4- Israel, however during more recent years I travel there 3-5 times a year. I have a cumulative experience of probably over 25 years of Ukraine and been there all over and maybe 1.5 years of Russia from Moscow & St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad and Barnaul.
Imperfect as Ukraine is, I like its regime more than what a modern Russia turned into. Regrettably. But that's just my opinion and if Russians are happy, I'm happy for them

I'm just naturally distrustful of bots or people who miss cultural cues.
Anyway, your story doesn't check out still. By 17 99% of the Qs I posted here (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) wouldn't need googling or be difficult for a person who lived in Ukraine at all.

Papaphilly, I agree China could not take Taiwan now, but if it elected to bomb Iran and Iran responded in the region by being troublesome, say for argument turning Iraq upside down, sinking ships in the Gulf, etc. what then?If, at the same time, Russia invaded Ukraine, what does the US do? If it sends troops to defend Ukraine from Germany, etc, can it defend the Baltics? Does it use its missile bases there? If it does, that forces the Russians to invade the Baltics. If the US is depending on help from its NATO allies, do you really think the EU is going to actively get involved? At present, all they are doing is being enthusiastic about sanctions.
Now, does the US really have the power to protect Taiwan? Maybe Taiwan can defend itself, but if all this happens, where does it end? Is this the right time to embark on another mid-east adventure given the recent success rates of others? Even the US does not have unlimited forces. In my opinion, it needs to defuse something, which raises the question, how?
My view is if Nik says he is Ukrainian, he is Ukrainian. It is not that big a deal if he isn't. (I still think he most likely uses an Israeli passport, but I could be wrong there too.)However, he is wrong if he thinks most of the world follows the economics of Adam Smith. Smith started economics and was hugely important, but most have moved onwards from there.
Papaphilly wrote: "Help me out with this one. Which Petrov? I know of two, one is a chess defense and one defected to Australia. Is there a third? If so can you give me a link to describe the doctrine??"Whichever. Petrov, Ivanov and Sidorov are the Smiths and Browns of the Russian namescame - the most random/popular family names there are. I was inviting you to imagine what you would think if a revolution happened tomorrow in your country. One led by someone basing their views on some Petrov's views. In case this Petrov refused to acknowledge his followers, would you still consider that these ideas originated from Russia?
If no, from where then? From open space?
If yes, then the commies' ideas originated from the West.

Personally, he can be a Maori and I wouldn't care if he was informed about Ukraine if he insists on talking about as an informed insider. If he visits it at random w/o any knowledge or understanding of the language, culture, background, history, then his input is not exactly informed.
That's what I was about. I don't think a person could make statements such as this one with any degree of honesty: Nik wrote: "Ukraine, maybe corrupted similarly to Russia 🇷🇺, is in many senses so much better and more of a country." while not being an actual insider. You either have to maybe live in there or have an understanding of what exactly it has long since become or just not repeat this propaganda. I'd think so.
Ian wrote: "Papaphilly, I agree China could not take Taiwan now, but if it elected to bomb Iran and Iran responded in the region by being troublesome, say for argument turning Iraq upside down, sinking ships i..."Fair questions.
Taiwan is not unprotected on its own. It can defend itself quite well. China has a major problem, how does it invade? It's Army is truly a police force and not a traditional army that we recognize. It has no navy to speak of and to invade it will have to be a sustained naval assault. that is depending on the United States not stepping in the the fleet not far from there.
China has three options, win, lose or draw. In this case a draw is a loss for them and they cannot afford a loss. If they invade and lose, they will collapse as a group. If they invade, they will have economic sanctions and they will stick. If they invade, the United States navy will sink their ships with just our submarine fleet.
From a different angle, when have the Chinese invaded and won? Hong Kong?
Fair enough. If it is that easy for the US, China won't bother. However, I doubt the sanctions will work very well - there are too many US companies manufacturing in China.Also, it appears the talks over Iran haven't exactly broken down. According to one news item they haven't actually started - they are instead bickering over the agenda for the talks. That suggests they won't even start.

The world is heading for economic meltdown, J. It's why we're in the early stages of the Great Reset.
Now, inflation is going up so interest rates will go up too, and anyone who's overstretched with their mortgage will soon have a problem. They're not content with people's freedom. They want everything we own too. The change in mortgage rules is probably part of the plan.
Note for any cultists making plans for my home - tough, we own it outright :)
