Nobody in the EU has the right to call out anybody's democracy – journalist Nebojsa Malic

All that matters is that Russia, China, India, and other non-Western countries recognize the Donbas republics and Crimea as a Russian territory. I'm sure a large number of countries in the U.N. General Assembly would vote to grant recognition. Putin should have gone to the U.N. in the very first place BEFORE this invasion was started! He could've gotten a U.N. Resolution against the war crimes being done by Kiev against the Russian in the Donbas region. If he had that in his pocket, he could've then invaded and and enjoyed far more support that he has now.

That said, I don't see that Russia will be able to ensure the security of the Donbas republics, given the pathetically weak performance of Russia's military. Putin just wasted his effort by going in easy and trying to not upset China. Putin, instead, should have plugged up Ukraine's western border crossings when he had the chance. I've already covered at great length on how that should be done.

As long as Ukraine is able to get weapons and supplies from ZOG-NATO, then Russia will never achieve its goals and it certainly will never get a decisive win out of this. ZOG-NATO sees this gross incompetence, lack of will, and lack of planning. Anybody can see that (((TPTB))) are salivating over the prospect of a large scale offensive against Russia; after Russia's forces are exhausted from all these half-measures.
