He's almost 80.

How many world leaders would fight in a war if war now comes to their countries? Almost none so why single out Trump who isn't even president? Would Biden? Would Ramaphosa? Would Trudao who runs away from honking trucks?

To be fair, maybe he initially thought it was a flock of Canadian geeze honking and those things can be pretty violent

Yip. But promotes awareness, stirs emotion and is watched by millions - propaganda (even if anti-war) all have a part to play.

It is regrettable that many MyBB experts repeated Putin’s narrative that the problem came from an aggressive NATO expansion aimed at encircling Russia.

Umm... yip NATO has slowly moved its circle of influence Eastwards after 1991. If Ukraine joined NATO and the EU (which was supposed to happen BEFORE 2023) then Russia would have a 'front' that is too large to defend. The buffer zone which had been in place for decades has been taken away and added to NATO's expansion. Russia only wants to defend one point, and that is North of Poland and also North of Belarus.. a tiny little gap. On top of that Russia does not want to keep paying Ukraine billions of dollars for their own pipeline which runs through Ukraine (hence why they annexed/recognized Crimea and the Eastern parts of Ukraine first)

Russia is and always be (just like America) very military orientated.

Now I'm not saying war is the answer, but it was inevitable because Ukraine kept on going back on their word after many agreements between the two countries.

Think of it this way, Mexico is a neutral buffer zone to the US. What happens if Guatemala hates the US but is content because of the Mexican buffer zone. Suddenly Guatemala signs a pact with Mexico and sticks troops and bases and missile and does air combat sorties on the US border.. what do you think the US would do?

Not all banks, only a selected few.

The EU still buys oil, gas, coal etc from Russia. A lot of it goes through Ukraine and Ukraine charge Russia billions
