NATO secretary General Stoltenburg said Ukraine can win this war if the Russians withdraw from Ukraine. That was the most foolish statement of the century.

[@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937]

Is that means also the Ukrainian with Russian-root are included?

[@dichebach]

The most foolish statement of the past two centuries was made by Vladimir Putin in around 2008 when he claimed that "The fall of the Soviet Union was the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century."

[@greglitvinov422]

Someone was listening! Ukraine cant win this war, as Russian withdrawal means defeat. Defeat is unacceptable. The window for negotiations was 5 days. Now Russia may never stop the war machine. Shall we wait for game 2 - the measured shift of economic levers by the glorious elected honorable King Putin with 100% support of Russians.

Pretty lame discussion from the Western world representatives. The Finnish guy shows the classic inferiority complex of a little nation that was historically a 'province of Russia'. The woman who had a pretty irrelevant and poor contribution. Samir made it clear that the rest of the world does not want a unipolar world, because it basically it is on its way out. I prefer a multipolar world, where small and middle sized nations are able to have a bigger say and are able to align with whom they want. That gives them more power and chance to do things independently. As far as Europe is concerned, please get your act together. Every three to four decades your continent puts the whole world at risk. Now it is even more dangerous with nukes. Europe please solve your own problems and leave the rest of the world in peace.

It is not Indian perspective. He heads a Think Tank and is sold on western media inputs. Look at what Indian generals are saying about Russian weapons- they are all very happy about it. India like others are looking for energy security and will definitely pick up cheap Russian energy. The distance and cost negates the discount. But, it is in India’s interest to have a healthy Russia. India has 55% of its weapons from Russia and therefore cannot afford them to go away. India is also trying to get Russia not to move firmly into China’s corner. The west unfortunately is trying very hard to push it there.

USA caused the original dispute and loaned Ukraine money to buy their own US armaments! Now they have lent Ukraine more money to buy more out of date armaments from the USA. USA do not want Europe to buy gas from Russia and delayed the installation of Nord Stream 2, because USA wanted to sell Europe its liquified gas at twice the price. (There are insufficient tankers or ports to provide all the gas Europe needs!) As a result, Russia increased sales of gas to China leaving Europe out in the cold and causing the price increase of gas worldwide! Then with all the silly war games around Russia's borders and now 100,000 troops on their borders, what do you expect Russia to do but to amass troops on their side? USA have started so many false wars since the second world war, won none and destroyed so many of the countries they invaded! USA needs to stop believing 007 films depicting Russia as the dangerous warmongers. 007 films need to concentrate in future as USA being the bad country.

My point was that with military supplies dwindling and being intercepted and destroyed, Russia is likely to continue their advance, and the more territory they occupy, the more difficult it will become for Ukraine to "retake" their country on their own. It appears there will be a point of "too late," to be optimistic about Ukraine retaking all of its land.

NATO assaulted Yugoslavia and bombed it for 78 days straight. They murdered thousands of people and reduced entire neighborhoods and towns to rubble. They bombed news agency buildings and murdered journalists. NATO bombed Libya for 45 days until the government collapsed and al-Qaeda (aka The Libyan Fighting Group) took over. NATO bombed and killed Afghani men, women and children wholesale for 20 years . US-led NATO forces are occupying Syria and stealing Syrian oil and preventing its reconstruction. All this, yet they have the gall to demonize Russia!! Pathological!

[@suck-myballs1152]

The collective West, led by the US, has to be one of the most evil forces in human history. They have been waging war unchallenged for 30 years. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon (via Israeli proxy), etc. Sanctions and embargoes that starve to death children and destroy whole communities. Over 500,000 Iraqi children STARVED TO DEATH because of US-led sanctions. Pure, unadulterated evil.

Finally, guests with independent critical minds who bring up captain obvious ridiculous hypocrisies like UK and France being on the security council but not India, Brazil, Pakistan and Nigeria. However, "30 years of relative peace" was extremely Eurocentric, given the 4 major US wars since 2001 (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria) and the Saudi war on Yemen. This was a near first in 1000+ hours of FP think tank roundtables.

Too soon to make that mistake of precluding Russia's absence from future. One may like to see the future with absence of US, UK, China or say Germany for example from dominance from future. Again, assuming the entitlement of sitting in complete control forever has brought US allies out from the room, may not be the building. The institutions made by US and UK are, if anything, not founded on a peaceful future. It must have warring as its key business and the reasons would keep changing, then there are divisions and the reasons would keep evolving. The world is getting closer to ethics and reading the unethical within it, with time, and reading it loudly now, is the real truth that is most discomforting to those who sit with assumptions.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. The United States Government and the manner in which the U.S. banking system is wired is dangerous for American democracy. Banks in America unlike their Japanese counterparts are allowed to hold enormous amounts of equity in American corporations. If you extend this network of banks out over the sanctioning network, the E.U. and the Eurasian Continent you can see that the entire system is stacked in favor of the dual citizen elites and the internationalizations of the World. If you get my drift. The U.S. government owes it's soul to the wealthy elite. Representatives are bought and sold. It is no wonder that the U.S. Government were so eager to give the Zelenski regime 44 billion dollars and gave the American farmers 250 million to boost American fertilizer output. America needs that Russian fertilizer and that Wheat for Keloggs and other's. This proves that there is more going on than American job evaporation to Eurasia. Eurasia is nothing more than a bigger market for these international jet setters. The amount of corruption within the U.S. Government and the disconnects from America to the European Union, means that these people can evade tax and do whatever they want. Individual Nation States within the E.U have veto power, and have the final say in what they consider favorable policy concerning corporations. The E.E.A. is another layer of complexity and means that nobody is in control of public policy other than the U.S. led NATO situated in Washington D.C. U.S. government is operating outside of its territorial jurisdiction. This is a conflict of interest for the the Citizens of the U.S. and the Citizens of the E.U. It will not be long before riots will break out all across the world. Democracy as we know it has been hijacked by the elites. There is nothing new about this. It has happened multiple times throughout history. There is only one problem. This time these fools have Nuclear weapons and they are going to use them. Pull up fool.

I will suggest that the russia although late in becoming westernized power did participate in the western imperialism games (of which the united states was the last member to join).The european nations with a tradition of neutrality see that in a global conflict their neutrality may be more harmful than beneficial. For the rest of the world however they were often the victims of colonization and so they understandably aren't rushing to support their former masters having only recently regained their autonomy and so, perhaps understandably, will wait for the powers to settle this amongst themselves as their first order of business should be to preserve their autonomy. They are sympathetic for Ukraine as they too fought for the same cause in their past. If the west is surprised that the half the world did not join them in the economic sanctions they only need to look at a world map and recall how the world powers treated nearly half the world over the last few centuries.
