What a terrible shame for all the wildlife and ecosystems destroyed by the floodwater. Totally innocent creatures and habitats destroyed.  Humankind is really stupid.  Possibly the only planet with intelligent lifeforms for billions of miles in space, and we spend our time trying to plot, scheme and destroy each other. What an absolute waste. Imagine how life could be if enough counties agreed to channel resources in to making life on Earth better for as many people as possible?

We should be at a stage were intelligent robots do so much work, that we effectively have time off to enjoy ourselves and pursue our interests.

And you still think it couldn't have been avoided, by NATO and the west acting differently.  :))

Absolutely. NATO could have allowed Ukraine into the alliance back in 2004. And in hindsight they should have.

Putin's mother has died. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/woman-97-who-claimed-to-be-putin-s-real-mother-dies-in-poverty-in-georgia/ar-AA1c0J9o?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=49cd350aa1984084e7b099258a7335c6&ei=18

Gringo's prophecies are coming true. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/signs-of-de-dollarisation-emerging-wall-street-giant-jpmorgan-says/ar-AA1c8J1S?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=a2099f0f74dd413991f5d6aa4329a300&ei=8
    They aren't prophecies per se, Steve. They are obvious conclusions to anyone in possession of enough of the facts. Reading exclusively western media or using Google exclusively as your search engine is to be misinformed-by definition. The views I have put forward are widely held, just less so in the censored and propagandised West.
    De-dollarisation has been written about and discussed for a long time. The mechanisms to facilitate de-dollarisation have been nurtured, collaborated on and put into place over decades. To understand and appreciate the significance and obvious results of these many projects and initiatives requires stepping outside of Western media. If you really want to understand in some more depth about de-dollarisation and multipolarity then a trawl through some of the excellent Pepe Escobar's writings of the last 20 years is the ideal primer. He has written extensively on all developments of BRICS, SCO, ASEAN, INSTC, OBOR and how they all interlink in the burgeoning multi-polar world.
    An appreciation of how the Rest of The World views the illegal (under the UN Charter) sanctions imposed by the US-directly abusing their position of World Reserve Currency is also helpful to understand the motivations for all of the above.
    None of this happened or happens suddenly. Years, decades of collaboration, planning, positioning pieces and diplomacy to grow larger and stronger blocs. The current turmoil is US/UK/EU/NATO last desperate stand.
    NATO/US/Western hegemony is finished. De-dollarisation will end US ability to fund bases all around the world. The means to impose sanctions removed from them. The Russian military proving to the world that NATO is a paper tiger and their wunderwaffen is overpriced junk.
    The Corporate and financial interests that western governments really answer to have no option but to keep on doubling and tripling down but cannot turn back the inevitable tide.

    Ukraine as a state is finished. The Ukrainian "PR" counter-offensive, currently ongoing, is a disaster. Massive losses of equipment and men and have yet to reach the first defensive line of three. Western MSM is now totally divorced from reality-it's grip was always tenuous.
    For a more rounded and honest "sitrep" of the current counteroffensive have a read of this;

They only received 18 Leopards. I wonder how the Challenger 2 is performing?  :-\
