The sanctions are obviously designed to force a regime change. Putin yet again threatens with his nuclear arsenal and the west responds with even more public announcements of sending lethal weapons and aid to Ukraine.
Thanks.
One president sits across the room from his generals, the other one sits with his people. True leader.
Is he harder than jaap stam ?
I agree, it is a really scary time for all of us. But he has to be stopped anyway and in the unlikely event that he is both insane enough and no one around him has the sense to take away his power we certainly need a intervention.
It isn't beyond the realms of possibility, but you have to take into account how stupid and short-sighted it is to engage in nuclear-warfare and the fact that most people want to live.
The oxygen of publicity.
North Korea already does.
The modern treaty controlling access is the 1936 Montreux Convention Regarding the Regime of the Straits, which remains in force as of 2022. This Convention gives the Republic of Turkey control over warships entering the straits but guarantees the free passage of civilian vessels in peacetime.
So, Russia's media is controlled but not to the degree many in the West think. They actually do still have contrasting views in the media etc, but it is controlled to a decent degree. But allowing press freedom like this at this time is an odd sight.
