Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[_Nabil_]

Western brands that have left Russia so far:

Microsoft
Apple
Dell
Electronic Arts
Sainsbury
Mango
Starbucks
Byglary
geogio armani
Hugo Boss
Lancolme
l'oreal
IKEA
H&M
berberries
nike
hermes
netflix
airbnb
spotify
Mercedes-benz
BMW
Harley Davidson
Boeing
Airbus
Mcdonalds
Burger King
Subway
and many more...

what do every single one of these companies have in common?

with the possible exception of boeing/airbus, They produce overpriced products that can easily be replaced by many many different companies. humanity can easily survive with 0 loss (and even alot of gain, especially in health ) without ever needing to touch a single one of those western companies for the rest of their lives.

People will literally die , and the world as we know it will literally cease to exist and go back to the famished stoneages without Russian products..

This is the reason the west is getting slaughtered in the economic war, and everyone is either distancing themselves or hedging their bets. The world realized that they dont need the west, its the west that needs them.


Biggest miscalculation in NATOs history.

In fact, it a good thing they left, it gives opportunities to Russians companies and friendly countries ones.

In fact, it a good thing they left, it gives opportunities to Russians companies and friendly countries ones.

Putin said they will regret their decision to leave Russia.. because it is an open economy..

The important thing to remember is they were forced by political decisions as sanctions.. not really willing to loose the Russian Market volunterally..

No Nationality = Mercenary

Is it that hard to assimilate?

Thats simply not true. A country can enlist a person with another nationality if they want to, and then this person is protected by the Geneva Convention like the rest of the soldiers. You and anybody else making up your own rules, based upon your opinion, doesnt change anything.
Bringing in a private organization, like Wagner, is a different matter, unless Russia is ready to admit that Wagner is infact an integrated part of the russian armed forces.

You need the nationality of the country's army you want to enlist in.. if you don't know this.. don't engage in it..

Actually the video shows exactly what it claims.. so don't quote me again.. as it is obvious you are trolling..

Actually it doesnt. The two guys start running back the direction they came from and then the video ends. Its doesnt show any casualties and it doesnt show anyone fleeing.

Shaun Pinner was an Ukrainian resident for 4 years not Ukrainian citizen...

Shaun Pinner: Family devastated by Donetsk 'show trial'

They say that as a Ukraine resident Shaun Pinner should be treated as a prisoner of war.

Again, it's the same even if he is just a resident. It's like people who join the US Military with a Green Card instead of as a Citizen, they are still state sponsored and fought as an American Soldier

Naturalization Through Military Service | USCIS

If you are serving or have served in the U.S. armed forces and are interested in becoming a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization under special provisions of the Immigration

www.uscis.gov

Refer to Article 47 of Geneva Convention (1949)

Treaties, States parties, and Commentaries - Additional Protocol (I) to the Geneva Conventions, 1977 - 47 - Mercenaries

Article 47 [ Link ] -- Mercenaries

1. A mercenary shall not have the right to be a combatant or a prisoner of war.

2. A mercenary is any person who:

(a) is specially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict;

(b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities;

(c) is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party;

(d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict;

(e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and

(f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces.

Read the text in Bolted Red

He is a resident of territory controlled by a party to the conflict (He is a resident of Ukraine)

He is sent by a state which is a party to the conflict (Ukrainian Government sent him to Mariupol and Ukraine is a party of this conflict)

He is a member of the Armed Forces of a Party (He is a member of Ukrainian Armed Force)

Which mean he failed condition d, e and f, which mean he does not qualify as a Mercenary.

The entire french foreign legion should face execution if defending France, based on this logic that foreigners are mercenaries.

I just checked the article. Again a false claim. It was a spanish newspaper that made the claim about sending 40 Leopard. It wasnt an official spanish statement, and the german government wasnt consulted. So Germany didnt block anything.
Main battle tanks are not part of the german support for Ukraine, but the article states this: Beim Thema Waffenlieferungen gebe es »keine ewigen Prinzipien«, sagte Olaf Scholz. . No principles are eternal (conserning weapons delivery), meaning german MBT could be delivered to Ukraine in the future.

We warned the Kiev regime to stop shelling Donbas children. They did not heed the warning. Now they will pay with their blood.

Russia has plenty armed drones to smash that Harpoon truck if it ever shows its face.

Also, China shares recon satellite intel with Russia to hunt down people who terrorize Donbas children.

Omg stop deflecting you’re wrong admit it. First Russia sees everything now China shares info come on man

 

[925boy]

80%+ are now in favor of joining EU.

But that remaining 20% is like the ball of food that got stuck in NATO's throat of integrating Ukraine into NATO - those Russian speakers in Ukraine will never agree for Ukraine to join NATO, and that was why US and NATo supported Ukranian govt in suppressing them violently in Donbas.

That 20% had broken up Ukraine irreversibly, you sound so foolish.
