BRICS countries can do what they want. If they want to trust your country’s currency to Russia, China, Iran, etc. Good luck.
Oh no, I'm sorry you are in such discomfort. I think those of us who have plenty of ailments might just be a bit more philosophical. There's nothing we can do about any of what's going on.Meh. WW3 is the least of my worries. I'm constipated and I have an enlarged prostate. One of these days, I'm just going to explode.
Just as too many western leaders don't understand how Xi and Kim think, and how brainwashed their people are, Xi and Kim don't understand how western leaders think, and the mindset of people who live in democratic countries. Same goes for all authoritarian leaders. They do not understand western thinking.Yeah KJU in NK is a wacko. Unfortunately he is a good tool to have. Like a rabid dog. Point and set him free he would gladly sacrifice his 20 million man army for Xi or Putin.
This is Putin's response to the US finally giving Zelensky permission to use long-range missiles within Russia's borders. And now we're seeing why that permission was withheld for 2 years. It wasn't fear that Putin would nuke the US, but that he would endeavor to completely annihilate Ukraine and its people.Russia has a stock of powerful new missiles "ready to be used", President Vladimir Putin has said, a day after his country fired a new ballistic missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
In an unscheduled TV address, the Russian leader said the Oreshnik missile could not be intercepted and promised to carry out more tests, including in "combat conditions".
Russia's use of the Oreshnik capped a week of escalation in the war that also saw Ukraine fire US and British missiles into Russia for the first time.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for world leaders to give a "serious response" so that Putin "feels the real consequences of his actions".
His country was asking Western partners for updated air defence systems, he added.
According to news agency Interfax-Ukraine, Kyiv is seeking to obtain the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), or to upgrade its Patriot anti-ballistic missile defence systems.
In Friday's address Putin said the Oreshnik hypersonic missiles flew at 10 times the speed of sound and ordered them to be put into production. He had earlier said that use of the missile was a response to Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow and Atacms missiles.
Thursday's strike on Dnipro was described as unusual by eyewitnesses and triggered explosions which went on for three hours.
The attack included a strike by a missile so powerful that in the aftermath Ukrainian officials said it resembled an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Justin Crump, CEO and founder of the risk advisory company Sibylline, told the BBC that Moscow likely used the strike as a warning, noting that the missile - which is faster and more advanced that others in its arsenal - has the capacity to seriously challenge Ukraine's air defences.

I believe the narrative of this discussion, as far as the US’s involvement is concerned, will greatly change in a couple months.
…IMO .. different objectives are on the horizon in our country.
Who or what is the "U person" mentioned in your post?Predictable news media with an agenda, click bait title overemphasized sensationalization. Of course, the U person making the statement wants the world to be scared into helping their cause. That noted, indeed WWIII could eventually start due to this IMO warmongering neoconservative provoked needless US proxy war that has resulted in monstrous death, I in a minority posted at length against when it began.
That would be the Ukrainian envoy/former military chief who made the claim about WWIII.Who or what is the "U person" mentioned in your post?
Thankyou Kate for the explanation. Sometimes these posts are too cryptic for me.That would be the Ukrainian envoy/former military chief who made the claim about WWIII.
This sentence should have read:A general in Russia has been fired after he was accused of faking reports of battleground successes in Ukraine.
I was thinking exactly that when I was reading it...I think this might be the last time we hear of him still alive...This sentence should have read:
A general in Russia, soon to suffer defenestration or equally unlikely cause of death, has been fired...
Rupert this is for you to answer...Since when do we allow the media to declare war?
That was my first thought as well... "He won't last long!"This sentence should have read:
A general in Russia, soon to suffer defenestration or equally unlikely cause of death, has been fired...
