'We're not doing enough to combat climate change. Russia has launched World War III. And Republicans have lost their minds.'

"We're not doing enough to combat climate change. Russia has launched World War III. And Republicans have lost their minds."It's been more than two months since Russia invaded Ukraine . We've learned enough to be able to predict what will happen next and what the geo-political consequences will be.At the beginning of the invasion, most observers believed that Russia would overwhelm Ukraine. That didn't happen and, as time passes, it seems more unlikely to happen.

It's one thing to be incompetent and quite another thing to be a brutal loser. Russia's conduct of the war has outraged the Western world. Russian troops have no respect for civilized norms.The war will end when Russia either runs out of money or has lost so much equipment it will be unable to maintain its lines. Then the Russians will withdraw, looting and burning everything in their path.

It's conceivable that China will capitalize on Russia's weakness and take back territory such as Manchuria. China might invade Siberia, where there are big oil fields. There is a school of thought that argues the war will only stop when Russia runs out of money; that is, when NATO countries stopRussian fossil fuel—currently estimated at $1 billion per day.

The war may continue but it will soon have grave consequences for the Russian and Ukrainian economies. Russia exports fertilizer and grain to the West. These exports will stop as well as Ukrainian agricultural exports. The cessation of Ukrainian agricultural exports will create a food crisis in the Mediterranean region. Writing in:"Ukraine is known as the breadbasket of Europe, and Russia and Ukraine have both become major food exporters in recent years.

'The IMF crushed democracy in Ukraine, crushed any chance of Ukrainians to make their own policy. Finance is the American mode of warfare against democracy.' The IMF Won’t Save Ukraine

'The support for Ukraine that fills Western media now is not out of real solidarity w the ppl of Ukraine. If that were the case, the US wouldn’t have overthrown our gov't twice in a decade or supported policies that made us the poorest country in Europe..'

And it's the Dems who stand idle to what is going on. Anticipating their next move. Meanwhile they're pushing us closer to a senseless war. In the name of Freedom ? And we are denied basic necessities in everyday life. But we can defend Ukraine . Yet we can't defend

If only Ukraine would stop using urban areas and towns people as human shields, perhaps the city would not look like this.

This kind of article, which is essentially a pep-talk promoting the Dems and hatred of Russia, is why I no longer donate to commondreams.

Foreign ballet dancers leave Russia over war with UkraineLike many dancers, Adrian Blake Mitchell and Andrea Laššáková moved to St. Petersburg to chase their dreams of dancing in place where people live and breathe ballet. That all changed when Russia invaded Ukraine. It’s them who lose by fleeing and not Russia losing them. Russia has more than enough of its own talented dancers (and the top ballet schools to retain its leadership on stage)
