Putin and Russians will get what they want in Ukraine!

Are NATO & U.S willing to send their men to fight Russians in Ukraine? 

 

By Mithesh Kumar Moodukonaje

I really don't know why entire World is worried? Those who really need to worry are Ukrainians not even Russians.

In 2017 Putin and Russians actively involved in Libyan Civil war, and foiled West plan there. What happened to the World? Nothing...

In 2015 Putin sent his forces to Syria, and foiled the West plan to regime change in Syria. Putin killed thousands of terrorist backed by the West in Syria. What happened to the World? Nothing...

In 2014 Crimea formally joins Russia via referendum, or what the World calls it as Putin's Russian invasion or annexation. What happened to the World? Nothing...

In 2008 not even Putin, but Medvedev took a brave decision to send his 58th Army to Georgia and support the independent republic of South Ossetia & Abhkazia. This outdated and crippling 58th Russian Army was enough to defeat the so called Sakshivillis Georgian army - trained and armed by none other than the CIA. What happened to the World? Nothing...

Way past in 2022, Russian armed forces are very modernized. They have years of fighting and testing lessons in Syria, Libya etc...

Even if it is full blown out war in Ukraine, even if the West supports Ukraine with all the arms they have - it will take Putin a few weeks to take Kiev, and collapse the Ukraine - unless and until the U.S or NATO deploy its foot soldiers on the ground in Ukraine.

Are NATO & U.S willing to send their men to fight Russians in Ukraine? No...

The U.S had recently withdrawn from Afghanistan, and withdrawing from Iraq too - where it failed to win the war - even after decades of fighting. When it comes to NATO - they are more divided than ever before. Definitely, the Germans and French are not interested in joining any hands to fight Russians in Ukraine.

Nobody wants to mess with Putin and Russians... Ukrainians are fools who elected a comedian to lead them to Chaos. They can negotiate with Putin and solve everything - rather, they are leaning towards the West - which will never be beneficial to them - at least in the short term.

So, the chances of this crisis getting into months long stalemate is literally zero. Putin and Russians will get what they want in Ukraine. They are not fools, they understand the price they need to pay, and they are willing to pay it. The World shouldn't bother about it.

CUBA-US RELATIONS: TIME WAITS FOR THE BAHAMAS NO MORE

By Gilbert Morris:

 


Actually, time never had time for us because we are too wasteful. Now, after all this time, in what state are we to face whatever blows in from this Cuban-American possibility? Whatever comes has already happened. It is the realisation of what it has done and will do to us that will come slowly; because we will be in our habit of denial for decades to come. You should note that the in the Bahamas, there has not been a significant investment from an American investor in 25 years.

The analysis on us is that The Bahamas is where investments go to die. We had our chance 30 years ago. And when our mojo was lost, we responded by saying "Its Better in The Bahamas", even as we erected further impediments to good investment. And as usual, we will not innovate to meet the challenge caused by our venality, self-indulgence and plain stupidity. Instead, our cronyocracy will act to snatch every opportunity to reduce potential broad economic activity to personal 'fee collection'.

They will not respond with strategies to correct decades of slothfulness. Instead they will react to protect their personal hides; sighing that our shrinking economic prospects is from the impacts of "globalisation". They will send itinerant fools to evangelise this nonsense and our people, (swaddled with bad education, holding politicians high with such 'messianic fervour' that a basic job is now a political favour ), will prove unable to be that check in democratic terms, to force their hopes for, or vision of themselves upon those who presume to govern them.

Soon the offices of the state will be used openly to secure personal advantages against any striving Bahamian with ambition. These forebodings are not unique to The Bahamas. This is the road to the death of prosperity and the result of cronyist lackeynomics, poor education and societal malaise that fuels the engine of criminality that ensures the efficient destruction of generations upon generations.

It is the result of decades of bumptious tomfoolery and convoluted excuses masquerading as a concept of life. In one real sense Cuba has already 'eaten our lunch'. A nation under a half century embargo by the largest economic power in human history and yet, they surpassed us in tourism - an industry we pioneered - a decade ago, and, disgracefully - we are sending our students to them for education.

Our country does not appear on a single world leading benchmark. (Oh dear, I made an error. We have amongst the highest homicide rates in the world. I do not wish to diminish our accomplishments). Our Ministers of the cloth cling to every vice as the nation rots; the lights are on in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and we cannot keep power in Nassau; a city named after the Prince of the most efficient country in the world; our young people wail concerning the incompetence of their governments, only to find their governments, which do not have time for governing, with all the time in the world to counterattack them for expressing their fears; we have placed our entire birthright in the future value of beachfront property, which is more likely to lose value in the next 20 years; we are capitulating to join a trade organisation - the responsibilities of which will increase red tape and the slow pace of governance processes - when our greatest economic opportunity in 50 years is in services; our government Ministers are trading on their positions in the very face of the public, whilst imposing draconian rules to punish poor Bahamians for failing to meet tax obligations they themselves have not met, despite a stranglehold on the nation's resources through their crony networks. What of vision and the future?

I wrote in 2012 that the Bahamas and Cayman Islands should be to Cuba what Singapore is to China. But of course, we are too busy busting up, shoving down and undermining fellow Bahamians - under two lunacies called PLP and FNM - as we run down our true potential for deals like Baha Mar, or pursing foolishness such as VAT, WTO and rescuing Bank of The Bahamas. As usual, we will have convenient excuses...even where none are possible. And we will twist ourselves as if in the Exuma wild oceans currents, to explain our only resilience: wutlessness as worthfulness.
