Deep and thoughtful contribution as always from our French buddy. You are really giving your fellow Frenchmen a bad name by continuing to post here, pierre.

Actually, Ukraine is getting wrecked.
You should stop celebrating wars

Let's just forget they've prepared for this for 2 decades, have completely overhauled and modernized their military and just see where this will go. Great idea dude, Russia will win this war in 2-3 months, mark my words.

Ukraine is going to get rekt, there can be no other outcome. Ukraine is buying time right now cuz emotional dumb shits are pumping the country full of weapons that will only delay the inevitable.

The Ukrainian army is stretched to the limit while the Russian army is still building up (reports of "silent ongoing mobilization"). The advantage that Ukraine had before is nullified, the mix of newly announced Western weapons cannot change the inevitable (mix of various platforms is problematic and will take months to arrive anyways).

Didnt see the video.

I would say that this has to do with Security Councils internal politics. Only Security Councils decisions matter generally as General Assembly statements are quite useless in their nature (same as eg statements by European Parliament vs actions of the European Commission / European Council). See eg European Parliament condemnation of Azerbaijan aggression in Nagorny Karabakh - yet head of European Comission - Ursula von der Leyen openly travels to Azerbaijan to take pictures with Aliyev and discuss cooperation over Azeri gas for Europe.



Same as it’s cute to see General Assembly condemn every war as it’s a morally good thing to do and also cute to see Ukraine/ US/ Canada consistently the only ones voting against resolutions to condemn Nazism.

Inside UN Security Council only China is in a realistic position and brave enough to initiate a resolution to invade Israel/Palestine to stop the conflict (ala Operation Unified Protector) - however they will never do so long as they have nothing to gain / don’t care enough about this issue to stop it / value cooperation with Israel more than cooperation with Palestine and supporting Middle Eastern states (Iran - although they do rely on Iran heavily for cheap energy)). This resolution will be autovetoed by the US so it’s a moot publicity stunt which will cost them diplomatic brownie points for no gain.

US/UK/France will never condemn Israel. Russia has its own very defined interest with Israel/ Jewish community which they play quite well (eg see recent US leak about Israel/Russia relations).

South Africa is trying to make their own way as a representative of the Global South / BRICS so they have their own gripe with double standards toward Africa / Emerging Markets vs security/economic interests of EU/US. I found this document by a Western think tank trying to put South African stance on annexation of Crimea in perspective:

I wish the world was less complex, but it is what it is.

Else you will have to deal with 40 mln of refugees eager to join EU. And if you don't let them then they will try to achieve it Taliban style with all the fancy stuff you provided. It's not the first time for Ukraine to be disapointed in Europe and join Russia, despite of having conflict few years ago.

Weren’t you the guy that wanted to radioactively contaminate Ukranian soil with depleted uranium?
