I was being sarcastic

I see.

I guess sarcasm really doesn't work on the internet.

Unpopular opinion: Western countries with a demographic decline will gladly accept white, secular Ukrainians into their societies.

Who in turn themselves have a demographic decline.

What a vicious cycle.

I dont think they care too much about that. Germany clearly didn't back in 2015

Check the follow-up tweet. That seems surprising he would concede that

I read that NATO does not accept any countries with ongoing border disputes. So Ukraine was never a contender based off of that.

China will do something by doing nothing.

Unlikely they fully support Russia, imo. Given how they see its a failing state. More likely they remain neutral, supporting Russia by using a veto or using silence while not openly or vocally supporting Russia because they know its politically and economically suicide.

Russia being in such dire straits economically for the last 10-15 years truly has made them a worthless ally for China. Russia is a loud barking dog with very little strength except an old military. And yet they are China's really only ally so China must maintain the facade.

China has a rather enviable position in that they are the only country that's really able to still trade with the world and Russia.

Taiwan parallels aside though, like I'd trust China in a trust fall if I were Russia.

Right now, Western countries are happy to accept all Ukranian refugees. War on your doorstep has that effect.
In the long run, I'm not so sure.

But that wasn't my point. I was just wondering how the "don't take refugees" stance works in reality. Hell, it's a stance I don't entirely disagree with, but I just don't see how it is realistic.

Refugees are ok until they scale... that's the main trouble. And Ukraine is just the beginning of what will be a bigger and more regular global occurrence.

Here in Portugal, Ukrainians were our second biggest foreign population before all this. And the inside joke here is that you never want a Portuguese person building or doing construction on your home... you want Ukrainians.

In the long run I hope the West help Ukraine rebuild and those refugees can return home.

There's going to be so much opportunity to rebuild there.

Yes, that's why we have Abkhazia, South Ossetia so Georgia won't be in NATO, Prednistrovie so Moldova won't be in NATO, then they've created Crimea and DNR/LNR so Ukraine has had 0 chance to join NATO since 2014. Lukashenko is Putin's dog, his whole regime is only alive because of Putin's loans.

Not sure if linked with Israel's sanctions on Russia or simply the situation in Iraq

I'm Armenian myself but as much as my knowledge permits me it says on the bottom in Farsi (Iranian):

"The Zionist regime will never forget this night. This is just the beginning." (of the story)

Signed by Islamic revolutionary guards corps...(IRGC)
They are a scary bunch of killers directly under the turbine heads and also the reason the very people in this forum who are from there can't express themselves freely out of fear.

No point denying it anymore, he is preparing his people to accept painful concessions imo . it's probably the most unconditional term in any negotiations with Russia.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Ofc, Xi is a pussy, they know that any economic destabilisation inside of China might easily lead to revolution

No chance of that at all. You have no idea how far gone the Chinese are, russian propaganda and brainwashing is a joke compared.
Most people in china didn't have running water 40 years ago, for them the party is the best thing that ever happened.

They just want their almost free oil & gas

no one expected that the USSR will collapse overnight, over the past 20 years the Chinese ppl began to live really well, deprive them of this opportunity and you will get a wave of discontent
