    I can tell you what he should do but he won't.

    He should start arming Taiwan to the gills! In fact he should have started quite some time ago.

    He won't because his owner Xi told him not to.

    I don’t have a crystal ball, but I doubt you need to worry a lot about Tiawan. And I know that if China invades next week, month, or year you will resurrect this post and . . . .!

    You don't need a crystal ball to know that 1. Xi owns the potato
    2. Even if he didn't the potato is nutless and will not only do nothing, he will broadcast it to the world

    This is an interesting article that looks at whether there are Nazi thugs running Ukrainian government. It shows that there is a long history of Ukrainian national identity separate from Russia. It also acknowledges there was some collaboration with Nazis in WWII and an element of anti semitism (as there was in much of Europe of the time including England France and even the US. However it’s pretty evident that the fundamental thrust was independence from Russia for a more western and European state.
    Ukraine has a history of attraction to liberal western ideas and rejection of Russian communist rule. To call today’s Ukrainian leaders Nazis is slanderous. They are probably less like Nazis than the Proud Boys.

    Russia claims its first stage of the war is complete, and now will concentrate on the "liberation" of Donbas.

    They're getting their asses handed to them by superior Ukrainian soldiers. So, as they get pushed back from Kiev and Kherson they've decided to declare success, and hope that the Russian people and the rest of the world will forget that they promised to capture Kiev to topple the Ukrainian government.

    You'll love this one.

    "Of course, my arrival in Ukraine wasn’t the first time the country had welcomed a black person. The highest number of black people arrived there through the former Soviet Union during the 1960s, after the decolonization of Africa. Soviet leadership granted thousands of African students generous scholarships to attend university throughout the 15 republics. In some ways, the Soviet Union provided a much safer environment for black people than the United States or apartheid South Africa. But in just as many cases, black people were no better off than local, non-black Soviet citizens who were murdered during Stalin’s pogroms."

    "While many of my African-American friends cringe at my stories about being black in Eastern Europe, I reflect on my time there fondly. That’s not to say that race relations in Europe are better than in the United States. As far as I am concerned, they are just as bad, if not worse, on average. Indeed, when I experienced racism in Eastern Europe, it was frequently harsh, even though I had the distinct advantage of being an American. Africans were treated far worse. But what I did enjoy about Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, was that I was able to make many breakthroughs on race with locals that I have yet to experience in the United States. Instead of entrenching in their racial ignorance, Ukrainians were honest about their naiveté and open to learning about a different culture. In the midst of our own battles in the United States, we could afford to take a similar approach to achieve better racial understanding."

    So, Ukraine is so racist he appreciates it because they dont hide it like the US.....

    @LSUpride123 you are a fucking sleazeball. You can’t actually mean that by having racists in Ukraine it’s automatically Nazi. If racism was a measure of being Nazi the United States should have been on Germany’s side in WWII.
    While every Nazi is probably a racist not every racist is a Nazi.
