Well, we can thank Trump for 4 years of peace. Something quite exceptional for a US President. His predecessors all started wars that ended in total disasters, as we have seen in Afghanistan. Of course, there was never any condemnation by the "international community" as these wars were conducted for the good of “humanity”. As for Putin he knew too well that he could not pull something like this Ukraine invasion with Trump in charge. He waited for a weak US President to be in place to make his move.
I really miss the good old days when people had nothing to complain about except for “mean” tweets.
"The Bahamas is a respected .....member of the international community of nations" sure, that is why the Euros have been putting us on every black list they could think of in the last 20 years...
"The world must stand up to Russia" This is not taking place. Do you know that countries that either abstained or voted against condemning Russia in the UN vote contain more than half 53 percent of the world's population?
Interesting point of view from South Africa's President Ramaphosa: “The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less, instability in the region,”
"The approach that we have chosen to take, which is appreciated by many, is that we are insisting that there should be dialogue. Screaming and shouting is not going to bring an end to this conflict.”
Think for just a minute. The USA has become such a great power because they were able attract the best minds in the world. Had they applied your views they would be like Mexico today.
Poor UB when you have a minister saying that the new president will be replaced in “short order”. How can he succeed after such comments? No wonder Bahamians want to study abroad.
