why? Anyone could say one of my neighbours is a threat or behaves unreasonably. As soon as Russians troops are gatheredm in large numbers, Zelensky desperately tried to offer concessions such as never join NATO, leave Crimea alone and implement 2014 agreements in full. Putin could have walked...

You can buy Brazillian and Argentinian beef already in the EU and their cows are not fed on hormone or their chickens washed with chlorine. The quantities are at the moment rather small (8000t of Argentinian beef per annum for example). EU laws will stop some substandard food products through...

Just like brexiters could ask themselves what if the UK had accepted the EU's concessions to Cameron. If Russians asked themselves what if Putin had accepted Zelensky's promise just before the war started that they had given in to Russia's demand about NATO and implement the agreement in 2014 in...

He dropped Afghanistan in his last year. Putin may not last more than 2 years. How many ruling parties have lost elections because of high inflation? Why should Russia be any different?

There buffer zone is usually an accepted part of a settlement, why do you think I try to reassure myself? I am pretty convinced that our mod assessment that Russia lost more soldiers than Ukraine is more probable than the other way round. What if Ukraine decides to continue fighting without...

Since the war in Iraq, advanced weapons have proven they just prolong wars rather than shorten them. Can you seriously think Russia can drop one of those hypersonic bombs on us without consequences? Many countries have hypersonic missiles too, including the uk and France.

3 years of war and Russian army occupies less than 20% of Ukraine. The early opportunity to take large swathe of land is gone. 50km2 sound impressive but Ukraine still has 500-600,000km2, that's more than 10,000 times. Anyway, the front lines move back and forth atm. As time passes, Ukraine has...

Are you for international justice now? So about Ukraine, which side do you want to win?

Are you concerned with global warming and coral dying now? It's good if you have changed your mind.

Tibet is not a country. It is an autonomous region of China, a bit like Northern Ireland. There are lots of autonomous regions in China. It's not a case of land grab but the tibetans are forced to learn to read and write Chinese among other things.

He put more than 100,000 troops at the border and we were still debating will he, won't he. I think Putin started the war in Ukraine because he thought we are all mouth and no trousers. Putin's action reminds many of us when Hitler invaded Poland. Just ask yourself why he called it 'sopecial...

you could apply the same reasoning. Mongolia, Manchuria and China were in the same empire until the 19th century. There are still plenty of Chinese maps where those territories are still marked as 'Chinese'. Without the respect for international laws and treaties, any country can just do like...

why do you think Russia is the only country wanting Crimea and Ukraine back? Mongolia, Manchuria were Chinese territory until Japan occupied it.

China wants Manchuria back. The way I see it, Putin can't win on both front in the long run.

I don't buy your argument. I believe Putin wants to annex Ukraine.

They have got pretty much what they wanted a few months after the war started and the war still continues for 3 years now. Explain why they attack civilian targets hundreds of miles away from the front line. Is it not regime change?

Hitler's army were at the doors of Moscow and still didn't win. NATO troops occupied Afghanistan for years and didn't win. Superior fire power is not enough. 3 years after the war in Ukraine started, how much territory did Russians occupy? At this rate, the war could drag on until the next u.s...

@flecc You said look at Georgia. Who controls the media? Who won the last election? Georgia and Moldova are about to fall back into Putin's control.

when settlement arrives, I expect NATO troops will be given the task of policing the buffer zone. If and when that happens, Putin has lost. Reconstruction of Ukraine will make Ukraine better than Putin's Russia, and one of the most advanced countries in Europe.
