4. Putin is living the good life of luxury....why would he take risk and give the west a damp good reason to take him down..
There will be no invasion...Putin will chicken out.
Do you know Russian are called 战斗民族?
Dont say too early.
The last Georgia war, the NATO and US only TCSS, nobody dare to retaliate.

They both compromise. NATO will not come to Ukraine's aid. This can be seen that US and UK pull out their troops from Ukraine. The US will prefer Russia not to take over Ukraine, else Russia will become bigger. For Russia, it will be many small countries in Europe and the sanctions. For Ukraine, they understand their position better now. They will not join NATO in the near future.

Don't think anyone will want the war. If there are no provocations, there will be no war. As long as NATO, the EU, the UK, the US and Russia are keeping their troops outside Ukraine and within their borders, there will be no reason to start a war.

Russia withdrew its troops, but NATO still strengthened its military deployment.

You still don’t know the evil plot?
There are “mercenary troops” inside the US/NATO force.
Which country wants to start a war is very obvious?
Now Ukraine President has waken up, he will go for referendum to join NATO or not. Throw the ball to its ppl. This is a smart move.

This is a lesson for Singapore for neighbour management..
You got a neighbour A bigger and stronger than you.. He upfront tell you he don't like you burning offering at your door step (coz smell and ash flow into his house)..
But you insist it is your rights to burn offering at your door step and continue burning. One day, neighbour A just lose it and hantam you.. His fault, sure, but don't you have some responsibility as well??
Better still, there is a neighbour B living in next block who don't like neighbour A so keep telling you to burn offering. B even offer to sell and delivering the offering to your house, no delivery charge ..
The outcome is neighbour B managed to make life difficult for A, but at the same time bear no risk, caused the risk is bear by you..
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

Putin is very smart. He will probably win the battle if he invades Ukraine but by just posturing his forces then withdrawing, he had won the war..........

On action, it is real withdrawal, but they can return anytime.
