rollover Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Reacting to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s State of the Nation address delivered on Saturday, Slovak Foreign Minister Rastislav Kácer used vulgar language to claim Orbán was Vladimir Putin’s ally. Kácer, on his way to London on an official visit, posted that “Putin’s allies in the Carpathian Basin” can only say “Idi na huy,” which is Russian for “f*k off” or “bite me.” In his response, Zsolt Németh, head of the Hungarian Parliament’s foreign affairs committee, expressed doubts about Kácer’s mental health. Tamás Menczer shared Németh’s opinion “Rastislav Kácer is a provocateur, and he should be treated accordingly. Zsolt Németh, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly, recently made a statement about Rastislav Kácer, and we fully agree with his opinion. We will not stand for provocation,” the politician said. rmx.news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollover Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 'CAN'T GO ON FOREVER' One U.S. official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about U.S. support for the war, said the administration has told the Ukrainian government that U.S. resources are not infinite. "Everybody understands that this (war) has to end at some point. And we all would like to see it end sooner rather than later," the official said. While aid to Ukraine has bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, some Republican lawmakers are questioning why the United States is spending billions to help Ukraine while Americans cope with high inflation and a troubled economy. "I’ve been around long enough to see that engagements, especially costly engagement, don't have an eternal lifespan, especially if you're not making a case," Bob Menendez said. Support among Americans for providing military aid to Ukraine has fallen. A number of Republican lawmakers allied to former President Donald Trump have called for restrictions on the aid. The aid could become a political football in the 2024 presidential campaign. Reuters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsknot Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 22 hours ago, IMHAL said: The general concensus is that China wants this war to continue to exhaust both Russia and the West. China has everything to gain and nothing to lose, so long as it keeps it's hands reasonably clean. I'd be surprised if they strayed from lending moral support to encourage Russia to 'keep at it'. They don't want to see Russia trounced so they may fabricate parts and ship anything Russia needs - but they will extract a price for it.

yelims Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 It'll be one year to the day in a few short hours. Maybe we should use this unfortunate anniversary to try and summarise what Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine has 'achieved': Near total unity of the Western powers behind Ukraine Russia reviled while Zelensky is the most admired man in the world The EU has turned into a superpower. 70 years of German military doctrine turned on its head. Finland and Sweden are in the process of joining NATO Russia frozen out of the world economy Russia's main export markets for its oil and gas completely shut off Russia's only declared allies are North Korea, Syria, Iran and Eritrea (judged by UN votes) Well north of 100,000 Russian soldiers killed The Russian army outfought and defeated by a far smaller foe The flagship of the Black Sea fleet sunk by a country that doesn't even have a navy Russia exposed as a fascist state (Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol and a hundred other towns bear witness) Increased repression and thought control at home No prospect of conventional victory Not exactly the most well executed strategy of all time.
