Republican strategist John Jordan says in essence, Russia is a “gas station pretending to be a great power”.

“The Russian defence budget is only eight per cent of the US defence budget,” he told Sky News Australia.

“The Russian national budget is dependent upon energy export for 50 per cent of their revenue and 30 per cent of their gross domestic product.

Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine has been ‘a huge failure’: Douglas MurrayAuthor Douglas Murray argues the the ongoing war in Ukraine has undeniably been a 'huge failure' for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian leader on Wednesday warned Moscow was prepared to use its nuclear arsenal to “defend its territory”, as he mobilised 300,000 reservists to join the fight in the wake of fierce Ukrainian counter-offences. “When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. This is not a bluff,” Mr Putin said. DouglasKMurray DouglasKMurray MahsaAmini DouglasKMurray The internet has been blocked in Iran. World, help us to be heard. MahsaAmini مهسا_امینی Mahsa_Amini

China ‘needs to play a responsible role’ in Russia-Ukraine conflictSky News host Chris Kenny says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent defensive moves and threats of nuclear warfare in the conflict in Ukraine is “deeply disturbing”. “One thing we have learned about world leaders, especially autocrats and despots, is to believe their threats, they often follow through on their threats, no matter how crazy they sound,” he said. “Just as Putin followed through on his threats to invade Ukraine, we need to take Beijing's sabre-rattling over Taiwan seriously, and likewise, this underscores why the free world needs to be very calm but cautious about the Russian president's latest overtures.” Mr Kenny said Foreign Minister Penny Wong met with her Chinese counterpart in the United Nations with the aim of “putting pressure on China over the situation in Ukraine”. “Yes, China needs to play a responsible role here, its pressure on Russia could be critical – but the West can't afford to rely on Beijing being a responsible global citizen,” he said. “Standing up for what's right is always important but predicting the behaviour of nuclear armed despots in East Asia and Eastern Europe is a fraught business.” Wait, didn't the new UK prime minister also issue that same threat? Chris Kenny is deeply disturbed just by being Chris Kenny. The acts of a sinile wanker in another country is not china's problem...they have voiced thier concerns ..that's the end of it!!!!

Russia using ‘nuclear blackmail’ in ‘worst possible framing’USASIA Perth Centre CEO Gordon Flake says Russia suggesting there’ll be a nuclear response to the freeing of any Ukrainian land they’ve claimed is “nuclear blackmail” in the “worst possible framing”. “That’s something again that not just President Biden, but speaker after speaker in the United Nations has spoken against, and I think in reaction to that there’s a broad sense that obviously … these Russian assertions, these claims are illegitimate in the international community,” Mr Flake told Sky News Australia. Absolute bullsh1t, he's a power monger that wants to claim a slice of history He presses one button and destroys a nation his country and people are also gone and no one is alive to read the historical event.
