Biden says Putin 'has much larger ambitions'​

In his remarks at the White House, President Biden also said that he believes Vladimir Putin "has much larger ambitions" that go far beyond Ukraine's borders.

"He wants to, in fact, re-establish the former Soviet Union," Biden said. "That's what this is about".

"His ambitions are completely contrary to the place where the rest of the world has arrived," he added.

Additionally, Biden said that sanctions against Putin personally "are still on the table" as a possible option in addition to those already announced against Russia's economy and several individuals and entities.

biden is right...
Russia to america: our larger ambition is to "Putin" uranus!

Why should I justify Ukraine Attack? Putin is not paying me for propaganda. I highlighted that how several reasons are there for Russia to do so.

At-least, the provided the helmet.

There is no other reason than Ukraine joining NATO. All other are face savings in one form or another IMO.
The Germans offered helmets... Doubt the Ukrainians accepted them..

Haven't found an article of the deliveries.
Not that I blame of you propaganda but rather pushing that narrative. I've seen a more pro russian sentiment on PDF with respect to current developments... It raises questions in my mind regarding not only Pakistani upgrades of T80-UDs but also the possible acquisition of T-929 and TFX program ( as the engine for TFX was also in collaboration with the Ukrainians... Correct me if I'm wrong)... Moreover most of our Soviet era equipment was bought from Ukraine no ? We also bring in a lot of agro imports from Ukraine ( wheat, barley, corn etc ) I'll share an article here;

Pakistan in firing line of a Ukraine-Russia war - Asia Times

PESHAWAR – The potential for a Russia-Ukraine war is already buffeting Pakistan as local prices of energy, food, commodities, steel and semiconductor

The engine upgrade for Al-Khalid was also coming from Ukraine....

Nations destroyed while US/West achieved their objectives... Nations destroyed indeed. Did US win Vietnam? Gulf on fire still and that was the objective. No military victory. No WMDs in Iraq, you see. Objectives were everywhere my friend. Installing the western style democracy and that's it. Here, democracy means puppets and inject western culture/values into a society which has their own history. Sigh.

All of NATO Vs Iraq. Alas. None of invaded countries could match US power and you call it victory. NATO was supposed to stop Russia. Even in Syria, they are unchallenged.

Did Russia achieve its objectives when they invaded Afghanistan during the 80s?

This is where the fighting can turn very ugly

Smells of desperation. Giving weapons to people who have no training, organization or tactics?

An Indian (I’m assuming) journalist asked Biden at today’s press conference where India stands via a vi being fully on board with the US stance on Russia and Biden responded as he clutched his binder “we are in consultation with India today, we haven’t resolved that completely”

Which to me indicates India trying to have it both ways. As can be seen in the following Indian discussion:

The Indian journalist interjected India more prominently into this crisis (to India’s determent) A real test of the Quad.

Got to love Indian egos getting them into trouble.

Ukrainian counter offensive or a minor action by just local troops?

Shouldn't the Ukrainians have been busy setting up cells/hit squads in Russia? I mean they didn't bother acquiring missiles, haven't bothered with underground tunnels and guerrilla style hit and run infrastructure. Just sat there waiting for Russia to invade. Setting up cells in Russia would have been quite easy. Blend in, speak the language etc

A lot of Kavkazi are white skin but they are still called churka. My cousin being half Pakistani faced this word a lot in his youth even though he has white skin. He told me it was mostly used in his early school days, but nobody really says it as adults unless you come across a drunk.

I am sorry to hear that your cousin faced this, as it is the mountain jew people are seen as outsiders in the Balkans, sad state of affairs. Churka which is mainly a Russian word and the Slavic phrase is Chorky, in Slavic countries because they have a higher number of Roma, Moldovans and Armenians, using tsygan against a person of color is like labelling someone as "sub-human".

Good going Ukraine

Bhartis are always dhobi ka kutta. What they perceive as clever is actually considered to be cowardly and weasel like. It’s going to catch up to them in the end.

This could be a serious mistake on Putin's part.....if he loses the support he craves internally and from the Russian people he is doomed!

My cousin is from western Ukraine and said all Chechen, dagestanis, azeri, Armenians, and Georgians are called churka. Maybe the term has evolved.
