Putin is no hero! He is power hunger maniac! Anyway, the west is totally humiliated by Putin latest move! It's mind boggling how Putin turn 'invasion' into 'peace keeping' mission!
Putin has no remorse over killing innocent lives as how he ordered killing of innocent MH17 passengers! Just like how Iran accidentally killed a place fully loaded with civilians!
It's so unfortunate that russians and iranians are held hostage by maniacs!
Anyway, this is the reality of the world! Since ancient times!
Power corrupts, and corrupt absolutely! Those in power will be so corrupted their own ego that they think they are gods!
Going back to Ukraine, we should not expect any invasion! Basically this 'peace keeping mission' is the endgame for now! And what can EU and US leaders do! They can't do anything! It shows complete incompetence of this world leaders dealing with maniacs!
As the world supremacy shift towards China, and this will happen definitely, the whites, regardless US, EU, Russia, Israel will be too busy scheming and fighting each other! In short, we are witnessing the end of western supremacy!
Few decades from now as China takes center stage, may as well learn mandarin, for whites who want to remain relevant!

We should not cheer or feel remorse over Ukraine latest development! Rather we must accept that EU, US and Russia will be in for very long and unstable geopolitics! We are already more than 2 years into Covid pandemic! Ukraine will be far longer than that! So chill, it is what it is!

Donald Trump latest statement, stating Puting 'genius' maneuver! Which is very true! While Putin put on 100k military assets bordering Belarus as diversion, and sent out fake 'inveasion' news to dumbass Biden, Putin secretly implement his main goal of sending 'peace keeping' military assets into Luhask and Donesk! Now, isn't that a masterpiece strategy! I am too stun to speak!

I think Putin has no choice because Ukraine wanted to join the west lead by US. If Ukraine joined the west, sure US would place the missiles at Ukraine and this is what Russian don't want. US is very smart always wanted to use other countries as location for missiles and battlefield and in event of war Americans are safe.

Putin is not a hero, he is a murderer.
I wrote below on 18/7/2014: MH17

In the moment of sadness and anger, I had penned the following thought when news reached me that our Colleague Mr. QZ Ng is in that ill fated flight MH17 from Amsterdam. Our thoughts and prayers are with those on board Flight MH17 as well as their families and loved ones.

I was still thinking why it had to be MAS plane MH17 from Amsterdam to Malaysia that was shot down over Ukraine airspace by a surface to air missile. (Not again, Malaysians are still in mourning over the still unsolved mystery disappearance of MH 370 from KL to Beijing on that fateful early morning on 8th March 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members. And on 24th March 2014 after many missteps, confusions, contradicting statements, the biggest multinational sea search of South China Sea, Strait of Melaka, Andaman Sea, India Ocean and land search from Thailand/Vietnam/China/India/Pakistan till Kazakhstan yielded nothing. Malaysia PM Najib Razak announced to the world base on the Experts analysis of Inmarsat Satellite Handshake data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean) The image of burnt wreckage with 200+ passengers and crew members with no chance of any survival by CNN on this morning TV news keep playing in my mind.

In my office I was told that one of my IES colleagues was on that flight. I immediately make a call back to the IES KL office and ask the person that picks up the phone is that true? The answer was yes, QZ Ng is on that flight. I held back my tears and put down the phone. I walk out of the office, stare into the morning sun and tears start streaming down from my eyes. Damn you, Damn you Russia president Putin, damn you Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko and damn you the civil war. How can you shoot down a civilian Airplane and take away hundreds of innocent lives that had nothing to do with your civil war.

My colleague QZ Ng, you are the innocent victim of human tragedy that unfolds so often because of evil politicians that divide and rule, have no sense and respect for life. May your soul rest in peace in Heaven now and may those responsible for your tragic end burnt eternity in Hell.

The world now is full of tragic wars (Syrian, Iraq, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine etc.) Can human beings learn from the past catastrophic/disastrous/apocalyptic war (the horror of war) and live in peace. Can the politicians unite us with our commonality rather than divide us with our differences? Can hatred be turned into kindness and forgiveness? It took hatred, deep rooted enmity and moments of madness to start the killing but it takes life-long forgiveness and courage to build peace. Can we human beings be capable of kindness, forgiveness and courage? God help us.

My dear colleague QZ Ng, your life had been cut short by this human tragedy at this young age. You still have so much to contribute and accomplish. We and surely your family will miss you dearly but life has to go on and we will shoulder on with fond memories of you in our heart.

May the world now apply pressure on Russia and Ukraine to stop this madness of civil/proxy war? Can peace finally prevail? And may the legacy of MH17 tragic end, be the one that shakes the conscience of human beings and brings peace to this land. May peace be upon all of us? Good bye my dear colleague and friend Mr. QZ Ng

The moment Ukrainian President announced Ukraine joining NATO... Russia will invade...
I saw this in my dream yesterday. Very real dream.
I have two dreams.
My First dream about Ukrainian President back off from joining NATO.
My Second dream... Ukrainian President announced Ukraine joining NATO... and the next moment Russia started the invasion...
So, I don’t know which one will play out.
I hope I will have a third dream... to get the final outcome.

U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991.
If NATO have kept their word, there would be peace now. They did not kept their word because of their own greed.
