hmmm there was never any Al Queda, Taliban or Bin Ladin in Iraq. That's in Afghanistan. Although the removal of Saddam in Iraq gave birth to ISIS. In Ukraine you have Neo-Nazis called the Azov Battalion. Here is a short definition from Wikipedia:
"Azov Special Operations Detachment, often known as Azov Detachment, Azov Regiment, or Azov Battalion, is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi Ukrainian National Guard unit, based in Mariupol, in the Azov Sea coastal region. It saw its first combat experience recapturing Mariupol from pro-Russian separatists forces"
India and China, the most populous nations on earth just vetoed a resolution against Russia. Can't say that Russia is isolated.

Breaking news we are now very close to a nuclear war:

"In a dramatic escalation of East-West tensions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian nuclear deterrent forces put on high alert Sunday in response to what he called “aggressive statements” by leading NATO powers.

The order means Putin has ordered Russia’s nuclear weapons prepared for increased readiness to launch, raising the threat that the tensions could boil over into a nuclear war. In giving it, the Russian leader also cited hard-hitting financial sanctions imposed by the West against Russia, including Putin himself."

Well as the USA is close to a nuclear war with Russia it will affect us. For the first time I wish the Bahamas was a bit further away from the USA. And to think we had four years of peace with Trump, but they said if he would be re-elected that would be the end of the world. Think about the irony. After only one year of Biden we have the worst crisis since WWII with a possible nuclear war. And now the Chinese are ready to invade Taiwan. This is a new version of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. We will all be very lucky if we come out alive of this Biden Presidency.

The price of gas is already @ $5.17 per gallon and this has nothing to do with Ukraine. The war will be brief and have only a temporary impact on the price of oil.

Biden is directing oil companies to invest in wind mills instead of developing new oil fields. This is what is causing the price of oil to surge. We have three more years to suffer under Biden's new energy plan. The price of oil could double during that time...

With Trump we had 4 years of peace and low energy prices. Biden comes in and after a year we are one the verge of WWIII with hyperinflation. Bring Trump back!

It was a big mistake to implement VAT on breadbasket items, especially with the highest inflation we have seen in the last 40 years. Hopefully it will be reversed.

Yes Russia has democratic elections. Putin is very popular in Russia contrary to Biden in the USA or Bojo in the UK,

Crimea was part of Russia and is populated by Russians who want to be part of Russia. This is why there were no casualties during the return of Crimea into Russia.

As for Afghanistan the Soviet Union was asked to assist in fighting the US backed Taliban by the government in place. Sorry but that is not an invasion. Also as a reminder the USA called the Taliban freedom fighters at the time and armed them with Stinger missiles. Now think just for a minute what would have happened if Russia had supplied the Taliban with similar weapons after the US invasion of Afghanistan.

"Putin’s main demand is Ukraine should not become a member of NATO. But he knows the West cannot agree to rule this out since it is a matter for Ukraine itself as a sovereign country to determine."

Errrr no it is for NATO to decide. If it was up to Ukraine they would already by part of NATO.

And sorry but the people who compare Putin to Hitler know nothing about Hitler and Putin. Also Russia is a democracy and they don't rig the elections and invade countries based on lies like the USA.
