Long live Sweden and Finland. Welcome to NATO.

Putin declared that certain parts of Ukraine were parts of Russia because he claims history said so. Well, I make the following claim then too:

History is also on my side: Russia did not exist before Russia existed, so therefore, I declare that all of what is considered 'Russia' is no longer a part of Russia, because history showed Russia did not exist at one time.

Now's the time for Russia to start selling oil and gas in rubles and in 6-9 months 1 usd = 1 rub

If NATO is really an Atlantic defense force against the Soviet union which doesnt exist, why are they so far from the Atlantic and so far from W. Europe. Putin is not crazy to feel like his country is being stalked.

Stupid to talk about sanction. If sanction can deter a nuclear power, what is the point of spending tons of money to acquire and maintain the nuclear weapons ???

Why would sanction somebody if he seeking peace.Russia is exporting oil to US are they sanction oil to . Maybe EU should turn East less hassle.

Be patient. Avoid economy sanction.Don't put hardship on Russian people.It's not their fault. It's the stubborn Mr Putin. Just advise him politely and continuesly. Give him a gift. Maybe it would softens his heart. 🎁
