Vlad WAS the richest man in the world, all his money will go to rebuilding Ukraine and reparations for the people. Between him and the rest of the Russian money seized there should be plenty. Paying for the war will piss him off even more.

This is bad, he's learning from Trump! When a moron is your role model there's gonna be trouble. Maybe he will invite Donald to the next one to whip up the crowd, fly in Paul Manafort as a PR consultant to smooth things over, etc. Bring his people back from America, they are needed at home now.

Unelected Von der Leyen needs to step down asap after repeating a mistake that has been widely pointed out to her. She’s making empty promises she won’t be able to keep nor does she have any power that puts her in a position to make such promises.
Europeans support Ukraine joining the EU — but not yet
According to new polling, most respondents were sympathetic to Ukraine.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has already declared Ukraine belongs in the EU, though it is not in her power to admit Ukraine or even propose the country as a candidate for membership. Such decisions have to be agreed upon by all of the bloc’s 27 member countries — and they have disagreed sharply in recent years on EU enlargement.
From another article:
”However, France's President Emmanuel Macron, host of the summit, made it clear that there will be no fast-track accession for Ukraine.
"The answer is no," he said after the summit.
Other major European leaders echoed the view, with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte saying earlier that there was "no such thing as a fast-tracking of accession－that doesn't exist" and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasizing that "it's very important that we continue to pursue the things we have decided in the past", pointing to the association agreement between the EU and Ukraine in 2017 as a way to strengthen ties.”
The fact she makes promises her own German Chancellor Scholz, who does have a major influence on the decision, does not agree with tells you what a shit show von der Leyen is. No idea what she’s thinking, if there’s any thinking involved.

kinda thought so......i know at one point Ukraine will be a part of the EU, but i don't think this is gonna happen anytime soon, especially with the war going on, and will prolly still go on for a while imoUnelected Von der Leyen needs to step down asap after repeating a mistake that has been widely pointed out to her.

I don't think formal EU membership is required that quickly, they will have trade and other agreements that will be just as good. When this is over (assuming we aren't nuked) there will be lot's of post war prosperity in Ukraine, they will have all of Vlad's money and the Russian money too. The EU might not have to give them much aid, but will want a big piece of that Russian paid for reconstruction business. A stable peace and reconstruction should see their currency rise significantly along with their standard of living. Just going down the list of resources they have to offer makes them an attractive bride for Frankenstein!Unelected Von der Leyen needs to step down asap after repeating a mistake that has been widely pointed out to her.

India buys 3 million barrels of Russian oil
India’s state-run oil company purchased 3 million barrels of Russian crude this week as numerous other nations bar such imports due to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, The Associated Press reported on Friday.
Indian Oil Corp. made the purchase despite international pressure, led by the U.S. and other western nations, to freeze Russia out of the global energy market over the incursion. India, the world's largest democracy, imports about 85 percent of the oil it uses.
The largest portion of India’s oil, 27 percent, comes from Iraq, followed by Saudi Arabia with 17 percent, the United Arab Emirates with 13 percent and the U.S. at 9 percent.
The U.S. and much of Europe have already applied heavy sanctions to Russia along with the U.S.’s energy import ban.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki has said Indian purchases of Russian oil would not run afoul of U.S. sanctions, but that Indian leaders should “think about where [they] want to stand when history books are written.”
“India imports most of its oil requirements. We are exploring all possibilities in the global energy market. I don’t think Russia has been a major oil supplier to India,” said Arindam Bagchim, a spokesman for India’s External Affairs Ministry.
The AP's report comes days after Reuters reported that Indian officials were considering a purchase of deeply discounted Russian oil.
The country previously reached an agreement with the U.S. to release 3.5 million barrels from its reserves, as part of coordinated release amid international spikes in gas prices. India has about 31 million barrels of oil in its emergency reserves currently.
India imported the third-most crude oil of any country in 2020, $64.6 billion worth. Only China, which imported $176.3 billion, and the U.S., which imported $81.8 billion, outrank it.

That is not a major factor. EU isn’t an empire and Ukraine joining it wouldn’t transfer ownership of those resources or force Ukraine to share them. They’d continue to be traded in a ways that are already possible, even without the current association agreement. New members costs a shit load of money that in no way is evened out by whatever industries or resources they have. If they were in EU those resources would actually become a lot more expensive because they’d have to comply with and invest in thousands of regulations.
Right. Even on the long term it’s questionable. 27 members have to have a pro eu expansion government at the time they get to vote. If France elects someone else than Macron for example, it‘s probably not going to happen. If in NL the same ruling parties as now remain in power, it’s not going to happen. It just takes one member to have a euro-sceptic government to blow the whole thing off.
Regardless of the point of views in EU, it’s so rancid to make such promises. Ukraine won’t be helped by it now and it forces people in the rest, mostly west, of EU to speak up against Ukraine becoming a member at this time where solidarity is so important. As if our politicians and governments don’t have anything better to do right now than argue about Ukraine’s membership. The recent summit with actual elected politicians with actual power was supposed to put an end to this nonsense for a while, and now some unelected idiot throws oil on fire.

They used to be known as the breadbasket of Europe and most likely will be again, EU membership or not. If it is such a burden, one wonders why they are so eager for it. I know after this business, they no longer view NATO membership as that important, especially if they can break Vlad's army and eject them from the country, NATO or American bilateral support will be enough.

He doesn’t care about war crimes, only one reason, he doesn’t think there will be a trial. So far he’s just sacrificed semiskilled soldiers with the shitty equipment he doesn’t need. He’s dropped a couple of tb bombs to show his willingness to go to the next level. He’s got nerve agents then nukes, all this talk of him losing is wishful thinking imo

A lot of Putin's base are older people, Russia has a low vaxx rate and shitty vaccines too. The latest variant of covid Omicron 2 should rip through them like shit through a goose and fill the hospitals to bursting. Most young people under 30 don't like Putin as does anybody in the country with a brain, and he is growing in unpopularity by the day. If you thought political division was bad in America, wait till you see Russia in a few months. Many Russians have been exposed to the world in the past 30 years, by travel abroad as tourists and through the internet, even TV and radio has some independent voices until recently. The people near the borders and almost all the people in Belarus will be able to get Russian language TV and radio broadcasts, as will Kaliningrad. All those former Russian TV and radio people will end up in Ukraine and the CIA will be giving grants to help them start up with transmitters along Russia's borders and anybody with a satellite dish will get them free inside Russia, they will also be on YouTube. It would cost the CIA peanuts to fund a dozen former Russian radio and TV stations and make Vlad most uncomfortable, as the truth pours in like light, through the many holes in his hastily constructed iron curtain.
