and so, the next ww3 can start, with the help of mr trump...
It's not Trump and not the west who makes the WW3 imminent. It's Putin's stubbornness not willing to stop his totally meaningless aggression towards Europe and the west.

Hello downunder. You simply don't know what you are talking about. I will not waste my time to educate you because you just can do it yourself. One thing is that you are insanely far away from Russia to know the evil people ruling this country. Another thing is the people like you is they just don't care to learn from the history. I have been living half of my life under this idiotic way to run a country and terrorize their own people (something called totalitarianism and dictatorship). Have you heard about that?.
Oh and about the NATO expansion - again check history facts, NATO concept and learn from the history who is expanding and how? NATO does not recruit anyone. Countries want become voluntarily NATO members exactly because of what Russia is doing. Neither NATO nor EU uses military force to make anyone a member, while Russia invades their neighbors, imposes their own language and culture, kills everyone who doesn't obey and doesn't accept that and expands further. This is the very reason why NATO expands. Capiche? Who needs a brain now? Go find some!

Your words: "when Ukraine decides to be neutral and NOT want to join NATO than the war ends"
Yes when Ukraine decides. You seem to understand that nobody is pushing Ukraine to become a NATO member right? Ukraine wants to be that because they know what Russia is up to. Now go get a brain, Steven!

There is no way you are Australian. Russia has not accomplished anything militarily in over 20 years of fighting wars. Since time has been, Russia's tactics have been run in that direction, never evolved, they fire big guns and then run in that direction, they have no planning, no command structure, no logistics, the air force has been useless, the Navy wiped. If ukraine had full unrestricted use of West weapons, Russian forces would have been destroyed.
Ukraine have been incredible in this and we all should have helped them more

Ukraine should be going backwards, you outnumber them by 3:1, in some paces 6:1 but you still have only succeeded in over 3 years a small slice of land in the east. The traffic jam / roadblock to Kiev was the most farcical ridiculous attempt at being an army

As long as this war keeps some pockets full, it won't stop. Now think: why would NATO or Zelensky (who has proven to have earned millions since it started) want it to stop?

Proof of happy bellies is this pic.
Now you can choose, believe Von der Leyen (the cleanest politicians atm right? Note the irony, puppets.) or look at the bigger picture.

{quote} 100% ideology 0% objectivity
Question for you > If Spain becomes under attack, will you fight to protect your country? If yes, then is this ideology or is it objectivity? Is protecting your country ideology or is it objectivity?
Listen, if Zelensky was driven by ideology, he would have escaped Ukraine long ago and live with his ideology. I guess you don't know exactly what ideology means.
Communism is ideology. Democracy is not quite an ideology. It is a state or a condition of the society that represents the ability to exercise free journalistic, freedom of speech, fair and democratic elections, free religion belonging and last but not least freedom to choose your sexuality and sexual belonging. None of these are found in any of the dictatorship and totalitarianism countries around the world. Rejecting all those is a big part of the communistic ideology. Refer to Karl Marks and Friedrich Engels.

Yes this is the exact reason why Putin attacked Ukraine. All other fairy tails about NATO expansion and protecting the russian speaking is complete BS. I speak Russian and I have been many times in Ukraine. I was even married to a beautiful Ukrainian girl. I have never seen anyone being afraid for his life because of speaking Russian. They all speak Russian because they was part of USSR after the WW2, but they have their own language and their own culture. However I can't speak Ukrainian. I did speak Russian every time I was in Ukraine and nobody hated me for that. Beautiful, smart and free-loving people. This is what Putin is afraid of, but he will never manage to put these people on their knees. That much I know what the Ukrainians are made of.

which weapons would help Ukraine win??? they gave everything they had to Ukraine. the West's weapon stockpiles are empty - Russia has won by making new weapons faster
u have no idea. Russia is winning - they are taking new territory every day - Ukraine is backtracking and going backwards every day - well if u think going backwards is winning lol

- Significant supply growth without commensurate demand growth may lead to oversupply and lower prices.
- The rise of EVs, fuel switching, and policy measures are crucial wildcards.
- Petrochemicals, aviation, and non‑road transport will likely become more important for liquid fuels.
- Regional differences matter greatly — emerging economies may drive volume growth even as mature markets shrink.
- A forecast indicates a potential surplus of ~4 million bpd by 2026 due to supply growth outpacing demand.

Half the globe belongs to Russia.. Why does it need more territory? However, it has a duty to protect the millions of Russians living in Ukraine from nationalist Ukrainians.. What would the USA do if only a few thousand Americans were subjected to such an atrocity as the Russian minority has been subjected to since 2014? It even bombed the Yugoslavs immediately when the Serbs turned against the minority#not because of its own..So the Russians have had enough of this..And now the West is threatening them with its missiles, not the other way around.. NATO doesn't want to surround Russia anymore, they have the right to a neutral zone..So much for aggression..
