Anyone helping Russia would become an ‘accomplice’: France​

French President Emmanuel Macron says that anyone helping the “aggressor”, Russia, in the Ukraine conflict would become an “accomplice”.
Speaking to journalists following his first speech in China after arriving for a three-day visit, Macron said, “We have decided since the beginning of the conflict to help the victim, and we have also made it very clear that anyone helping the aggressor would be an accomplice in breach of international law.”
We don't owe Russia anything. We certainly don't owe them loyalty.

Sticking to same old rhetoric

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday told the new U.S. Ambassador in Moscow, Lynne Tracy, that Washington was responsible for the "Ukrainian crisis" while accepting her credentials in a Kremlin ceremony

I think , if it was not for Russia, South Africa would have look different today. They help all the countries north of us to invade them, or am I wrong. I think they help the anc long time ago. If Russia did not help them, maybe we would have been living in a better place.

Mandela's ANC and today's ANC are diametrically opposed.

The whole anti-NATO pro-Russian BS is cringe.

Today there was some local douchebag on TV who was saying something along the lines of the war being about NATO or US hegemony.

No doubt the myth of some agreement between US and USSR was brought up about NATO not moving eastward. But Ukraine being part of former USSR would make up part of such an agreement then. No independent entity such as Russia existed at the time. The Baltic states were also part of the USSR.
Ukraine and the Baltics making up part of the USSR decided to join NATO. There.

Russia was on an imperialist drive in Africa in the 80's The only reason they were fought in Angola by the South Africans was to prevent that war from happening on South African soil.

It had absolutely nothing to do with apartheid as the Russians and ANC claim. It was all about imperialism and conquest. Which is happening again in Europe now. Ukraine is the unfortunate battleground in Europe as Angola was the unfortunate battleground in Africa.

If not for the USSR the West would have pushed full democratization of SA earlier. The USSR retarded the whole thing. The West didn't go whole hog because the Reds were trying to turn this place into another Cuba or Vietnam.

And Russia should have lost their UN Veto vote when the Soviet Union ceased to exist.

The Americans bent over backward for them.

They forced Ukraine to cede her nuclear weapons. They agreed not to establish NATO bases in former Warsaw Pact countries. Even now there is a partial agreement that they only will have rotational forces. No families.
Russia was let into the WTO and G8.

All because the Yanks are still scarred of a total collapse of Russia (then USSR) because of the NUCULAR weaponz!!! OMW!!!

That's why they're still giving Ukraine just enough to hold the Russians back but not to allow a complete victory.

*cough*USSR*cough*

We should also note that Russia and Ukraine were part of the USSR at the time it supported the ANC.

You do know that the WHOLE Warsaw Pact helped support the ANC?
And you do know that Soviet Satellites supported the USSR?

All those videos that came out last year of Russian POW's getting caught with bags of woman's panties finally makes sense.

Lingerie was banned in Russia in 2014.
