Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia – never,’ says Biden in Poland
I refer to The Straits Times Opinion, “‘Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia – never,’ says Biden in Poland” (Feb 22) and “Ukraine crisis could get worse before it gets better: Vivian” (ST, Feb 22).
The Ukraine war is already in progress for one year, and whether how long it would last?, in a great extent, it has to be determined by the following factors:
1) Whether or not US-led alliances (inclusive NATO) will continue support Ukraine by supplying financial resources, goods and materials and all sorts of weapons or armament as well as humanitarian assistance to defend against Russia?
If these manners of military, medical and financial assistance persist, there will not be any hope of peace.
In due course, the prolonged war will only benefit US, as it Military-Industrial Complex, MIC can continue bloom and survive.
2) For the purpose of consolidating its hegemony, US keeps on inciting its allies (stoking arch fire) to stand up to Russia, there will be dim chance of dawn for peace.
3) If either party, namely Russia or Ukraine does not want to put down their prestige and dignity, the war will continue to drag on.
4) Only when either party (Russia or Ukraine) realise that there is no winner in war, only going through calm negotiations or peaceful talks to resolve all the disputes, entanglements then the peace for the both countries could be achieved.
5) Strong advocacy and protest from the people of either Russia or Ukraine to stop the war. We can’t erase the possibility of it.
Teo Kueh Liang (Mr)
WARSAW – US President Joe Biden on Tuesday said
“A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people’s love of liberty, brutality will never grind down the will of the free,” he said, in Warsaw.
Biden must be thinking of his own experience with Afghanistan. After 20 years of his (and his predecessors) brutality, they could not grind down the will of the free. They ran away from Kabul, killing more Afghan children on their way out.

Putin has already lost face but taking over a year and not conquering Ukraine. He thought it was going to be another Crimea close both eyes and boom, part of Russia within a week ha ha.
His continued stubbornness in not giving up puts him in a no win situation. We know that nothing lasts forever, we just do not know how long this war will last and just how many innocent civilian lives will be lost.
Putin wants Ukraine but the citizens of Ukraine won’t want to cede any territory to him. If he doesn’t get what he wants then his war will have been for naught and this might make him step down due to internal pressure and the fact that he didn’t win the war.

The Ukrainians are fighting a defensive war. They had peace before their country was invaded. Ukraine did not invade Russia. It is the other way around. That must never be forgotten in the pursuit for peace. The “Villain” brought all these sufferings on the Ukrainians and Russian families. There will be no peace unless the “Villain” withdraws his troops from Ukraine. The Ukrainians rightly belong there, in their own country. There is nowhere for them to withdraw to. The alternative is to surrender and be a subjugated people.

USD strengthens when there are wars and people buy US weapons and ammo.
US weapons exports is 1133% higher (in value) than PRC weapons exports.
Did CCP plan the Saudi-Iran peace talks as a plot to weaken USD?
In the past, Saudi, UAE and Kuwait converted oil into US dollars to buy US weapons.
Without Iran as enemy, why would GCC need USD or US weapons?
47% of US weapons exports are to Middle East. Approx. 25% of US weapons exports are to Saudi Arabia.
Media may claim African-Americans are responsible for the war in Yemen and the decision to depopulate Assad-run Syria.

It’s an English American war.
One of classified US military documents that has made its way online shows the presence of 97 NATO special forces operators in Ukraine as of March 1, 2023, of which 50 were British, multiple UK outlets reported on Tuesday.
The Guardian said it had seen two files, dated late February and early March, that listed 50 British special operatives as being active in Ukraine. The US had 14 special operatives in the country, and France another 15.

USA has been fighting many wars in various countries. They are behaving like a big bully and at the same time earning big money for their Military Industry Complex.
And many of their allies such as UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada (all White people) are providing money, resources, weapons including tanks etc to Ukraine to fight Russia.
Since Russia has many nuclear warheads, why should Russia waste time fighting a conventional war with these countries. I recommend that Russia fire nuclear missiles at UK, USA, Canada, etc and finish off the war. Lets see if these countries still want to fight Russia. Kill all of them and sacrifice yourself and see if they are willing to die in a nuclear war.

The discussion here is in the context of the present, not the past. The Russians brought this war to Ukraine! If you are referring to the Russian Occupation of Crimea, it was a decade ago in 2014, and not two decades. The “Villain” did it once before and he thought he could do it again.

Writer is correct. Biden is a scary beast. Point no.1 shows there is NO INTENT BY BIDEN & NATO TO BROKERING PEACE FOR THE TWO WARRING SIDES BUT INSTEAD THE WEST ESP BIDEN USES UKRAINE AS PROXY AGAINST RUSSIA. Biden is a dangerous man that can cause a DISASTROUS NUCLEAR WW3. (As warned by BOTH Russia & Ukraine leadership).
IF THE PEACE INITIATIVE BY CHINA IS DISCARDED ASIDE BY US & NATO IT WOULD BE AN OMINOUS SIGN THAT THERE WILL NEVER NEVER EVER AGAIN BE PEACE BUT A POSSIBLE DISASTROUS NUCLEAR WAR TO THE FINISH. Bec the peace initiative by China is the last chance for the world in relation to Russia & Ukraine. If in the history of the world past present & future forward, if there be anyone that can cause a nuclear WW3 it is biden. Unfortunately.
loading...
Yes, POTUS is pushing us all to the final days.
If the west win in Ukraine, Russia will have no choice but to use nuclear. One leads to 1000s and Singapore will also be finished.
US also pushing hard for war in China. That can escalate real fast, as it will be a direct confrontation among big countries. Planes, carriers can disappear within hours, followed by nuclear.

Not sure which invasion you are referring to that took place two decades ago. A quick search on Google shows an earlier Russian invasion in 1941 (Operation Barbarossa). That took place nearly 80 years ago. Perhaps you could enlighten us.
loading...
I think that if anyone should start a nuclear war it would be Putin and not Biden. If Russia is defeated in Crimea, Putin will have to face the music at home. He might be desperate enough to push the button. Putin is wily. The Belarusians are stupid to let Putin use their country to launch nuclear weapons. If there is any retaliation, Belarus will be flattened. And the counter-strike will not come from the US, but from the UK or one of the European countries. They have lethal weapons too.
loading...
@Smart Nation
I don’t think China will allow Russia to use nukes. The 2 countries are simply too close for comfort and the collateral damage will be huge.
I am sure China’s military are monitoring the Russian very closely and if there’s any ICBMs taking off from the Russian side, China will probably shoot it down.
Putin siao and gila, but the CPC definitely not stoopid.
loading...
Better to halt all traveling
Can cause war.i think.every one
If stay own country.no argument.
loading...
I also think China is not stoopid. A nuclear fall-out will be disastrous for the whole world. Even though they have their differences, the superpowers will not wish to engage in a nuclear war and destroy themselves in the process. The USA will not go to war with Russia unless NATO is drawn into a full-scale war, or the war is brought to US soil like what happened at Pearl Harbor. Just hope the “mad man” will not take it too far.
TECH: I am tempted to agree with your take. China is not stupid and if I were them, I probably would have a battalion or 2 standing by at the border and a few ICBMs ready to launch should and if Putin decides to go rogue. It is reported that Xi has met Putin and I am sure they are in communication, so I don’t think Putin will dare take things further than what has been discussed, nukes are certainly a no-no and China certainly will opt for peace. It is my belief that if there is anyone who can stop the war, it would inevitably be China.

French President Emmanuel Macron has stepped his attack on United States. In his second big attack in recent days, Macron said that the European states or allies are not the “vassal” of United States and that they have a right to think about their own interests. Macron’s comments came in the context of EU’s position on Taiwan amid recent escalation between US and China over House Speaker’s meeting with Island’s president. Watch the video for more details.
In contrast, a number of commenters here say, “We are, dogs or sheep, we are.”

Yes Putin will start to use Russia’s nuclear weapons as he himself had CONFIRMED over many times if Russia loses Crimea & Donestk etc. So the rest of tbe world including Biden & Nato should discard China’s peace initiative & hope for Ukraine to retake those areas knowing Putin will HAVE TO use his nuclear weapons?. As Spore Minister Shanmugam had stated & provided factual historical facts, the real issue of who is at fault is not that simplistic. Russia is not 100% at fault & Ukraine & west share of blame from the facts provided by Shan it would be more than fair to say is not less than 50%.

Since Day 1 of this war, every single news report & opinion piece point to Ukraine winning & Putin losing at every front.
If those news & reports are true, Ukraine should already be inside Russia ‘s territories by now.
But no, Ukraine is still winning every day.
At this point, this is not a one on one battle.
It’s more like 20 v 2.
At this stage, only Putin want this war to end quickly.
The rests, including Ukraine, still want this distraction to go on for their own domestic political purposes.
Even Ukraine president wants it to go on.
Because once the war ends, it means he himself will be out of the spotlight, something that he crave a lot & addictively.
Remember, this fellow is an actor in occupation & probably in life as well.
But still, we hope the war can end soon.
The people, Russians & Ukrainians, are suffering & it’s not their fault.

If Putin wants the war to end quickly, why does he not pull out his troops? Perhaps, he wants to end the war on his terms, i.e. to extract concessions from Ukraine to give up its territory. It’s a deal-breaker for the Ukrainians. Putin has gone too deep and can’t get out without at least a symbolic victory.
loading...
Wanting the war to end is not the same as wanting to surrender.
If Putin wants to end the war quickly, why doesn’t he immediately surrender? Allow US marines to enter Moscow immediately? hahaha hahaha
loading...
The withdrawal of troops doesn’t have to be under terms of surrender. Why do you assume that the US will send Marines into Moscow and have a direct confrontation with Russia? That fear is unfounded. Putin has more to worry about if Russian troops return home without a war “trophy” to show the people. The oligarchs who have their assets seized and/or frozen will be so pissed off with him that he might even be assassinated or handed over to ICJ to be tried for war crimes.

Joe has hardly ever been right about anything as to the war, Russia has already won.
There seems to be a fair number of Kool-Aid addicts on here, surprising. The US/NATO started this war. For any reader of history you should recognize the names of Jake Sullivan, Kirby and especially Victoria Nuland. All three were in on the now known false info to start the Iraq war on the pretense of WMD’s a complete and absolute lie that killed over a million people and displaced even more as well as setting up regional scuff’s for many years, Tony Blair and George Bush should have been hauled up before the International Court in the Hague but have since gone on to fame, such is the justice of our so called democracy. Now Ukraine, after Iraq, Sullivan went on to work for Joe during his VP days and Nuland stayed in the state department. She started her Ukraine project under Obama then it came to a head in 2014 when she had organized, armed and financed a coup against an elected democratic government in Ukraine. The US/NATO then started the set up to weaken Russia by advancing “NATO” eastwards crossing a red line Russia had warned about for 10 years. The US trained and armed 400,000 soldiers in Ukraine with 200,000 in reserve, meanwhile the Donbas region wanted to separate and for that the government started killing them, between 14 and 20,000 of them, Genocide. The US set up over 30 bio labs and had permission to put missiles on the border, Russia said enough is enough. The rest, kool-aid. Now Ukraine is down to 175,000 soldiers and Russia has 600K waiting to move in. Joe will be wrong once again.

Neither will Ukraine be a victory for the US and her allies, the UN, Nato, and all the pathetic Europeans’ member countries.
Fighting a proxy war will get the free world no where. The Ukrainians’ body bags are mounting every day. Neither will sending NATO troops into Ukraine to drive the Russians out end the war. Discounting nuclear weapons.
A truce, some sort of cease fire, should be attempted again for a longer period. In the meanwhile, a fresh political settlement should be negotiated with Russia. For example, NATO should stop accepting new NATO members to appease Russia. And see how Russia respond.
Like Ukraine, Russia is also under siege, as more and more former Russia’s breakaway states join NATO for protection and existential agenda. Russia feels boxed in by the US and NATO member states, inching closer and closer her surrounding borders.
Russia has a legitimate security territorial concern, the US can no longer ignored.

Reading the shit times for decades I don’t feel any wrongdoing of US/NATO starting wars everywhere on earth. I don’t know millions of innocent lives lost in the wars. I thought US/NATO act like international policemen liberalise the people of that nation or it is a war on terrorism. I really thought US soldiers/marvels are fighting bad guys in Hollywood movies which I used to enjoy. I was naive for so many years until about 7 years ago!
The world is much more peaceful if there is no US or US is third grade power.
It’s time the shit times carry international news from wider news agencies such as China CGTN, Xinghua, Russia Russia Times, Middle East news agencies, Latin America news agencies and Africa ones. People should not be misled by media bad guys are good guys while good guys are bad guys so people able to correctly condemn and prevent bad guys destroying nations and innocent lives.

@ Nathan:
Here are my two cents worth:
“A truce, some sort of cease fire, should be attempted again for a longer period. In the meanwhile, a fresh political settlement should be negotiated with Russia.”
Agree. A ceasefire agreement brokered by a neutral party; but peace is most unlikely if Putin insists on holding on to Ukrainian territory. If the invading troops refuse to leave the country, the war will continue until one side is vanquished.
“For example, NATO should stop accepting new NATO members to appease Russia. And see how Russia respond.”
Appeasement didn’t stop Hitler from rolling his tanks into Poland, France, Belgium, etc. If the Ukrainians had not pushed back, Putin would be in Kyiv by now. Fortunately for Ukraine, Putin’s tanks were stucked in the bog.
“Like Ukraine, Russia is also under siege, as more and more former Russia’s breakaway states join NATO for protection and existential agenda.”
Countries are free to choose alliances for their own protection. Having lived under the former Soviet Union, these breakaway states want nothing to do with Russia. They see Russia as a threat than a friend, more so today after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. So Putin has driven Finland to join NATO.
“Russia boxed in by the US and NATO member stats, inching closer and closer her surrounding borders.”
Agree. Insecurity/paranoia? But Russia has no reason to fear NATO which is a defensive organization unless the former has plans to invade NATO countries and invite a response. The way I see it, Putin is his own enemy, not NATO.
loading...
NATO a defensive organization? You can’t be this ignorant. Therefore you have ulterior motives.

Both presidents exchanged views on bilateral ties and the Ukraine crisis.
Xi said regarding the Ukraine crisis China has always been on the side of peace, and its core position is facilitating peace talks.
China will contribute to stopping hostilities and restoring peace and will send an special envoy on Eurasian affairs to visit countries, including Ukraine, to have in-depth communications with concerned parties on the political settlement of the crisis, Xi said.
The Chinese president stressed dialogue and negotiation as the only way out for the Ukraine crisis.
Zelensky expressed his appreciation to China for the humanitarian assistance it provided to Ukraine, and welcomes the Chinese side in playing an important role in restoring peace and resolving the crisis through political means.
