President Putin on Taiwan: 'China does not need to use force'

Speaking to CNBC's Hadley Gamble at the Russian Energy Week conference in Moscow Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed to Xi's comments suggesting the possibility of a peaceful unification, and China's "philosophy of statehood," to suggest that there is no threat of military confrontation.

Joe Biden is ageing and you know ageing goes with some mental decline. Notwithstanding he is doing very well ( about 94%) Biden has the experience which the former President and its team lacked. Biden is very very realistic. He knows how and when to step back for the sake of global peace. And he also knows how to carry its allies along. He knows America's limits and vulnerabilities, something the previous government didn't know. If you're a good observer, you will notice that the world economy is bouncing back , mainly due to his economic policy. I hope Biden will reduce his use of economic sanctions on so called adversaries. This will greatly boost the global economy.

Putin should not have aided Donbas, but it was clear from years of statements written and in public he intended to invade which is why it was repeatedly stated he would. Even when Putin repeatedly said he would not, we knew he would. Sending insurgents into the region to destabilize it as a pretext to invasion was a clear sign as well as he's done in other regions. Zelenski and his predecessors should have taken the regional conflicts more serious from the start, not that it would have made a difference as Putin would have just escalated earlier. Point is, some people are aggressive and we all suffer because of it. World needs to find a way to remove fascist imperialist ASAP. Atm, NATO is the only way for a small country to keep their land and people safe from greedy baligerant murderous tyrants. There just is no other way as power wrongfully understood corrupts.
