Sorry that I was mistaken about that.
I just read a bio of Kissinger and I thought he was dead, too, but he'll turn 100 next June.

Kissinger has been giving out advice even to this day, he was even giving advice to Trump.

As far as Ukraine, I didn't realize until today that Zelensky was Jewish. Aha! Now it's more understandable why we're giving Ukraine so much assistance. Mystery solved.

Did you also solve the issue on why Putin is trying to “de-Nazify†Ukraine when its president is Jewish?

I don't think Zelensky being Jewish is a factor. The US wants is willing to harm itself financially to try to harm Russia more. It is a risky move, and I see more downsides than upsides.

Didn't know Zelensky and Kissinger were Jewish. No wonder you hold these opinions on what is happening in Eastern Europe. No clue whatsoever. I imagine most haven't taken the time to listen to Eisenhower's last speech either.

Russia doesn't want the bother of ruling Eastern Ukraine let alone all of Europe. They have all the energy and food they will ever need. So ask yourself why we are burning our capital.

I think Zelensky being Jewish is a huge factor is his ability to garner help from America because of the power and reputation Jewish people have in the USA.

I agree that it's a risky move and so far, has hurt the EU and the USA more than it's hurt Russia especially the sanctions of commodities oil and gas which are just rerouted through India and China.

This de facto war with NATO has exposed the weakness of the Russian military in comparison with NATO but the Russians have proven themselves over hundreds of years and numerous wars to endure to win, there's a reason why Russia is by far the largest nation on planet earth.

Since this is all NATO related, does anyone have a clue what would happen if Russia chose to set up base in Ireland?

Is Ireland willing to have the base or not in this (fairly odd) scenario?
