Re: Today the world became
hi des #17
good evening, as i dont live in russia so i cannot speak for the good or the bad of putin but it tells you a lot about the wests motives when you relise the amount of monies and armaments that are flowing into the ukraine just to fight a proxy war that the west say is about regime change for the good of russia, america alone has spent over one hundred and fifty billion dollars, they have also said that the thirteen laborities they had close to the borders of russian terrority where not researching chemical weapons and i suppose they wouldnt tell lies about something like that would they, again biden offered the natives of hawaii seven hundred and fifty dollars hardship money and told them the other day he feels for them as he had a fire in his kitchen once and he was worried about his cat and his corvette in the garage, so who knows for sure what anybodys motives are anymore,

Re: Today the world became
Hi Thomas.
Gorbachev created the war now taking place in Ukraine when he broke up the Soviet Union, any dispute on this could be seen when they laid him out and only a handful of people came to pay their respects .
I think Biden taking so long to get to Maui and then offer a pittance was a disgrace, mind you our Politicians did the same during our bush fires and floods, some from the fires of three and a half years ago are still living in sheds and caravans the Govt offering them a pittance but sending $500 million to the Ukraine a place probably many Aussies had never seen on their mobiles.

Re: Today the world became
Des, not so much a break up, more of a falling apart.
When Poland, Latvia, Estonia and Georgia gained their independence in about 1989 there was not alot he or any one else could do to stop the collapse.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Des, anyone attending Gorbachev's goodbye layout would have had their cards marked by Putin's police, most people were wise enough to stay away for self preservation. Putin hated Gorbachev with a vengeance and anyone associated with him no matter how tenuous the link.
