Russian invasion of Ukraine

Yes, but a giant politically and in terms of natural resources, but they have been lazy in exploiting them, preferring the easy market of EU energy demand.
A giant politically in so far as they have nuclear weapons and sit on the UN Security Council. That's it I'm afraid. The west has shown that it can do without Russias resources and did so remarkably quickly.
 
You are so funny, can't be angry at you lovely blues.
OK that's fine, as you can offer nothing further. I will take that as an admission that I was correct.

Ps the combined trade of the west with China is 35 times that of China's with Russia!

Whether you, I or President Xi like it or not our relationship is much more important.
 
Not accepting a Ukraine defeat will lead to ww3. Simple as that. Putin concider a win a must, if NATO do the same, it's inevitable. Simple math.
It's Maths.
It's also 'Simple Maths' to know that if we keep letting Putin do what he wants he WILL eventually attack the Baltics (or some other NATO state) that will either collapse NATO or bring about a war between Russia and NATO.
History does repeat itself you know.
We're actually at undeclarrd war with them, and have been for a long while with Cyber attacks, Jamming Commercial GPS around Kaliningrad etc. I know, from my companies security logs, that Russian, Chinese, North Korean and Iranian organisations try to break in every day.
So stand-up to them now, or let them win in Ukraine and have to fight them later. It's pretty much the same time frame too.
So stop talking bollocks.

Sorry , Russia is the biggest oil & gas exporter to China.
Forget those cheap plastic shits, the "TRADE" between You and me, OK?
You people in the west do not have much common sense of "geopolitcs".
Our relationship is fucking important, I don't want to watch City matchs on some fucking pirated websites.
Good bye sir, See you next time.

They could be doing well as a country, all their natural resources and their close proximity to Europe to trade. There’s more to be made long term trading rather than their expansionism plans for Ukraine, Putin still thinks its world war 2 and is prepared to sacrifice a generation to end up in a stalemate in Ukraine.

If they hate the West so much why do they buy up half of London, drive around in Rolls Royce’s and send their kids to Oxford and Cambridge?

Sadly, when faced with a few unpalatable home truths, you seem to have lost your temper there somewhat. That was much easier than I thought.

A shame really, as I actually thought you were worth debating with for a couple of hrs. But Mossi was right.
