Agreed.

I agree that this specific UNGA 'condemnation' resolution is toothless and irrelevant, but do you believe these other UNGA resolution is toothless and irrelevant mechanism for change?

I think UNGA is awesome and so does China (the real one, not the fake one).

I see you're still too young, too simple.

The reason the UN didn't change its recognition of China in 1949 was because the US blocked it. The reason it changed the recognition was because the US stopped blocking it. The reason the US stopped blocking it was because China grew strong enough that the US needed its support against the USSR.

The world runs on power, not idealism. Nobody is going to evict Russia from the UN because Russia is simply too powerful.

Nukes are not going to fly if a Romanian MiG-21 is shot down by Russia. That's the whole problem with the expansion of NATO. Anglo/NATO has more control over Europe with an expanded alliance, but it weakens the alliance as a whole. Most people are able to understand this simple fact.

Exactly, how expanding NATO has made Europe or the U.S. more safer? Just a simple mistake by one if their members can trigger a nuclear holocaust in Europe.

Global opinion seems to be against Russia. UNGA with a big majority asks Russia to withdraw and cease hostilities. 141-5-35. Also didnt expect Serbia to vote Yes. Interesting.

If you add up the tallies, half the fucking world either voted against or abstained from the resolution.

That's why it is important to have a leader and a government that have foresight.
China’s emphasis on its own food production and security helps mitigate the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on domestic food prices, analysts said.

Notably, China is the world’s second-largest consumer of corn, but only 9.4% of domestic corn consumption in 2021 came from imports, according to Citi. Only 5.9% of China’s wheat consumption last year was imported, the report said.

“The US-China trade disputes, the African swine fever outbreak, and the food price shock of the Covid-19 pandemic have propelled China to further improve self-reliance in food supply,” Citi analysts Xiangrong Yu and Xiaowen Jin said in a report Monday.

“China has been improving its incentive system for the production of grain, pork, and others and diversifying sources for food imports,” the analysts said. “As a result of the enhanced policy emphasis on food security, the direct contribution of grain price growth to headline inflation has been very small recent years.”

Good for them. Nuclear armed powers in Asia will gladly teach Japan a lesson again if they go leaving their dinky home islands.

Hazmat team responds to ‘suspicious powder’ sent to Russian embassy​

Parcels containing a “suspicious” white powder were sent to the Russian Embassy in Australia's capital of Canberra, according to police and diplomatic staffers, prompting a hazmat team to respond to the scene.

The Australian Capital Territory Police (ACT) later confirmed that the “contents of the package are currently being assessed” in a statement cited by local media, adding that “cordon” is now in place around the embassy “and the public is urged to avoid the area until further notice.”

Oh dear....

"Romanian media reporting that a Romanian MiG-21 disappeared off radar & the IAR 330 that was sent out to search for the missing MiG-21 also disappeared from radar"

Attacking a NATO aircraft is grounds for triggering Article 5 IF it took place in NATO airspace.

The Russians really aren't messing about here.

Romanian MoD reported the IAR 330 went down 11km fro the airfield. The MiG-21 pilot had reported bad weather & received orders to return to base

The Romanian MoD sadly confirmed the death of the 7 crew onboard the IAR 330 that crashed this evening. Search is ongoing for the MiG-21 pilot

The funny part is some one posted this "Russia is weak nonsense in the eyes of Japan" in the SDF... a defense focus resource... if being posted in Yahoo or other MSM platforms I may understand it! It's just too much!!

Taiwan has been occupied as long as the Russians "occupied" the Kurils. Japan wants to setup up that excuse...?
