      No the west did not want a confrontation with Russia/Putin. Merkel tried to reign in Putin with Gas.

      Putin wanted the confrontation and started to attack Ukraine, killing people for no other reason than his ego.

      US has expensive fuel and not the right one and also still trades its oil internationally and facing a huge price increase for millions, it also has to pay a lot more money for fertilizers.

      The oil of venezuela is the wrong kind of oil and can't just be bought and processed by the USA with a snip of a finger. They have to build/change their refineries for it.

      Minsconstrued in the media? Russia will not attack Europe because Putin knows he is gone the moment he starts attacking Nato.

      Yeah lets have a PROPER discussion and not some right-wing telegram magic group thinking wanna be intelligence experts. After Ukraine, Moldovoa, Belarus and others would have fallen.

      This proxy war is a realltive good outcome especially after what russia was doing the last 15 years: Propaganda manipulation in the west and killing of people with toxins and intervening / playing armsdealer to Africa with conflicts against France.

          Odessa Union house arson is not any indicaton at all. Putin wasn't the rescueer of his Russians in Ukraine and this doesn't allow an attacker to overtake a government and a country.

          I'm shocked on how you don't care or mind at all that a whole country is getting attacked at all and you don't care apparently that Putin has killed 500.000 OF ITS OWN people to protect its ethnic russian population?

          NATO is not ATTACKIng RUSSIA through UKRAINE. NATO is PROTECTING UKRAINE FROM Russia.

          And you either are compeltly clueless or ignorant. Russians main strategy is to overtake a country and the first thing they do is to remove the local people and put russians in their place to break their culture.

          Ah wait you are a russian bot or so. Go back to your propaganda telegram group.

                > Now the reality get clear. Russia is winning.
              The Russian war correspondents deserve to be informed of this. They are currently in utter despair over Ukraine's advancements near Lyman.

              The fact alone that this "three-day special operation" is in its fifth year with over 1.5 million casualties places it among the worst disasters in the entire Russian military history. There is no credible way to spin it into anything else.
