    Default Russia and Ukraine conflict.

    While some on this forum are still worried about a cold, a real conflict has been brewing. What's everyone's thoughts? Having friends from Ukraine and neighboring countries this conflict has been making me feel sick.

    Honestly regardless of what political party you align with I have never been less confident in North America's leadership with this conflict brewing. There talking about a Putin and Biden summit to perhaps talk the Kremlin down. Can you imagine Biden negotiating with Putin? The idea sounds so silly that it's sad. He's barely coherent. Putin probably looks at Biden as nothing more than a political shill.

    I say this less from a bi partisan point of view and from more of a position of concern. I would be way more confident with Obama back in office.

    Haha. Do you mean yet another false flag event that the US is doing to try and keep the Biden family fortune - courtesy of Ukraine - under wraps?

    Blows my mind that fantasy hockey poolies that will research and dig for the most obscure stat to try and find an edge, would just blindly believe MSM. If anything happens, the US started it, after already creating it.

    Putin is loving it and just trolling Biden now too.

    And Obama. Oh damn. Haha. Lol. LMFAO.

    OK. Break it down for a laman like me. I'm guessing your saying Biden is orchestrating this whole thing to keep his and his family involvement in some corrupt Ukraine energy deals under wraps?

    How do you explain all the troops at the border? Why is Putin playing along with this plan? I'm generally curious about that angle.

    Also I would rather have a good republican leader in office during times like this but Obama is way better than Biden at least he's coherent but while your at it explain Obamas pitfalls to me.

    Lol @ Skippy. Another self-researching genius who has all the answers. According to these guys nothing is as simple as it seems; it's all some grand conspiracy that only a select few are able to unearth. Our elite overlords control all sources of information except for the ones Skippy finds on the internet.

    It’s a good subject. What will happened with the NHL Russian players,…Will they leave North America, if USA is opposed to Russia in a conflict ?

    Maybe not the day after, but it’s a concern, not just for the sport but for the world…

    Hope it will not happened

    Cue the Russian internet disinformation machine:

    Britain wants a war to cover up that Prince Andrew is horrible
    US wants a war to cover up Biden's finances
    Canada wants a war to hide liberal power grab

    Russian doesn't want a war and has positioned soldiers at the border for purely defensive reasons. If Russian has to occupy some (or all) of Ukraine to protect itself from these western countries looking to avoid domestic troubles well then they will reluctantly do so. Just look at twitter and the internet, you will see all sorts of talk about stolen US elections, British scandal, and Canadian division. And we know you will see this because our internet troll farms are pushing it hard... to distract you all from our invasion of Ukraine.

    I hope the people of Ukraine stay safe and uninvaded, they deserve precisely none of this crap.

    Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have predated Trump, Biden, Trudeau, and the public knowing about Prince Andrew. Those narratives are just something the Western public are trying to push to make it more understandable to themselves because we have this thing where Eastern political events need to involve us.

    It started in 2014 with the Russian annexation of Crimea and haven't gone away since. I'm sure you could even date this as far back as the Soviet Union and Putin wants Ukraine back as he thinks it should be Russia (but that I'm just guessing with no info on that. Just a thing I'd guess)

    Agreed. This is the propaganda coming out of Russia and it is even working on some of our own citizens.

    Hopefully one day we as a populace will become more savvy about how misinformation and disinformation is spread by bad actors in order to control a narrative. Until then the Skippy's FiveHole's and AustonWilly's of this country will continue to be unwitting accomplices for our enemies at home and abroad.

    Uefa is holding talks about moving the 2022 Champions League final from St Petersburg, although it may wait to see how the knockout stages develop so any venue better suits travelling fans.
