Russia’s gas supplies to Eastern Europe are looking highly uncertain on Wednesday after Poland and Bulgaria were told their supplies would stop.

The move comes after both countries refused Moscow’s recent demand to pay for gas supplies in rubles.

It also coincides with a sharp rise in tensions between Western allies and Russia as the war in Ukraine continues into a third month.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said war in the 21st century is an "absurdity" as he visited sites on the outskirts of Kyiv that had been occupied by Russian troops.

How evil a person is when his wish of destroying a country and he doesn't want anyone to stop him of turning everything in a country into dust.
And when some country decided to defend the oppressed nation it will also destroyed the one who are just want to defend and protect the helpless country because many are dying already I can't imagine such an evil still exist today.

Evil is in our Ape genes. In the majority of humanoids it`s normally repressed , but when given power or a pulpit to spew hate it`s heinous tentacles reach out to cause pain and suffering for the sake of more power and to feed its ego-mania. Karma hopefully rules in the end.

Game over, Putin, you're not going to outspend the US. Today, the Lend-Lease Act was approved by the House by a margin of 417-10 - basically it gives Ukraine a blank check for most war equipment. This Act was last used in WW2 to supply the UK and the USSR with the supplies they needed to defeat the Nazis. All it needs is Biden's signature and the Military Industrial Complex can get to work.

House passes military lend-lease bill to speed Ukraine aid

The U.S. House has given final passage to legislation that would streamline a World War II-era military lend-lease program to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion.

The congressman said he hoped the “Churchillian idea” would end delays in shipping aid to Ukraine, much the way the original law sped help to Britain fighting Adolf Hitler’s Germany in World War II.

“Today we find ourselves in a very similar situation with Putin systematically bombing and shelling the peaceful villages and cities of Ukraine,” he said.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi also gave nod to the moment, saying the war is a battle between democracy and autocracy, and echoed Roosevelt’s call on Americans to provide the fuel to keep light of democracy burning.

“Our task today remains the same,” she said. “The Ukrainian people are making the fight for all of us.”

The nuclear-powered submarines of three western powers including the US, UK and France have docked in Scotland’s naval base HMNB Clyde.
The confluence of nuclear-submarines in Scotland come amid heightened tensions between NATO and Russia over Ukraine.

While the gathering of NATO submarines could be coincidental, it comes amid heightened tension with Russia.
Adding to the speculation is the fact that there is no official submarine drill scheduled in Clyde.
All three countries have appeared secretive about the movement of their nuclear submarines to Scotland.

Visite surprise de NANCY PELOSI ....great to see l'appui indéfectible des ÉTATS-UNIS....va poursuivre sa route en POLOGNE....important aussi pour nos alliés sur la ligne de combat de se sentir ainsi appuyé par la plus grande puissance au monde.

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

...appuyé par la plus grande puissance au monde.

Pas sûr de cette affirmation, la Chine pourrait très bien avoir dépasser les USA, économiquement et militairement.

Et aussi, l'arme la plus efficace en temps de guerre est la propagande. Faut pas prendre pour du cash tout ce qui se retrouve dans les médias, traditionnels ou pas. Chacuns tentent de manipuler l'opinion publique pour se justifier et parvenir à ses fins.

Sans vouloir t'offenser de quelque façons que ce soit, tes posts sur le conflit ressemble souvent à du cheerleading! Lol
