It's reinforced my view of him.His behavior during this crisis has blunted my earlier views of him

It is hard to decide who has been worse so far, Macron or Scholz?His behavior during this crisis has blunted my earlier views of him
For me it's Scholz as Macron at least has sent some good weapons to Ukraine while Scholz is holding everything up.It is hard to decide who has been worse so far, Macron or Scholz?
Really? The more this goes, the more I see him as the kind of sellout that Philippe Pétain was. Not that Marine Le Pen is any better (since she is pretty much a direct ally of Russia), but Macron has chosen the path of obvious spinelessness. That could be very compromising in the future should NATO be called to do more or to do something else as important.I’m gonna go out on a limb here & state that this ‘blunted’ comment won’t come back to haunt you.

Is it to observe something, or like a State of the Union type thing? Just wondering why this one is so special to only be annual.Putin has cancelled his annual live press-conference. I wonder what happened there…
I’m not going to sign up to read the whole article but it’s a dubious claim that Russia as a whole is getting richer. The oil & gas sales as well as grain are obviously flush a lot of cash to the state budget but the economy as a whole is sinking.Don't know if this was what @DT12 was unto at some point. In the short term it seems the sanctions have made Russia richer by driving up energy prices, but I don't know what daily life is like in Russia so I don't know if the sanctions are working or not or simply having mixed effects.

He doesn’t do a lot of interviews and this one is quite huge as there are hundreds of journalists (less and less from independent & international media, obviously, and I doubt that anyone even remotely objective would’ve been allowed in this year) & there’s also questions from the public (some god forsaken village asking for a road etc.).Is it to observe something, or like a State of the Union type thing?

University of Luhansk isn't a bad institution, and the original campus retains a fair amount of both resources and staff from before the evacuation. Studying economics there is orders of magnitude better than the fates awaiting most of the people trying to reach Europe by boats. He also could have stayed in Rostov, or moved to another city in Russia, if life in Luhansk was so bad.Tweet

I don't like his latest statements about "not humiliating Russia" but I'd still give him the benefice of the doubt until the election passes.Fecking Macron, thank christ he's already had his election.

So I guess that's how it's going to go until they could hit those fires positions.Russian bombardment of Sievierodonetsk ‘pushes Ukrainian troops back to city’s outskirts’

Plenty of deluded fools according to that article. You should also read the comments section on articles from CNN International on Facebook and who posts them. There's no need for Russian bots nor Republicans anymore to parrot the narrative from the Kremlin.Tweet

Next Poland, it was part of the Empire at some point...Russian politicians go off the rails more and more every day, completely lost in their fantasies of Russian strength ...

It’s true, although it’s always important to realize that MP’s proposition of the law doesn’t equal an actual implementation of such law. They often introduce the most ridiculous, dubious and consciously provocative propositions so that the laws (also often anti-constitutional, anti-intellectual, bigoted etc.) that they actually consider and implement look a bit better by comparison.That cannot be real news surely? Must be satire...

This would open up EU and NATO issues. I can't see Russia doing this.Russia taking aim at Lithuania now:

Agreed. He’ll gift them trident by end of the week!Thank God Boris needs positive headlines. He'll start sending everything including the kitchen sink if he loses both by elections.
If Russia actually carried out the suggestions of the lunatics in the Duma we’d have been at WW3 years ago. Always thought Putin has packed the place with absolute nutters to make himself look moderate (relatively, obviously).Russia taking aim at Lithuania now:
