Is WWIII inevitable?

[tsupermario]

western media always portrays Americans, Europeans, Israelis as the good guys

Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians as the bad guys

and that becomes your world view

By his third frantic dash down the stairs, with a wet piece of cloth over his mouth and a little girl in each arm, everything went dark for Khaled Abu Jaafar.

“I lost consciousness. I couldn’t breathe any more; it was like my lungs were shutting down,” recalled the resident of Douma, in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.

“I woke up about 30 minutes later and they had undressed me and were washing my body with water,” Abu Jaafar told Al Jazeera on Sunday. “They were trying to make me vomit as my mouth was emitting a yellow substance.”

Abu Jaafar is one of the survivors struggling to cope with the effects of a chemical attack on Saturday in the besieged town of Douma, the last rebel stronghold near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Rescue workers and medical staff have said at least 85 people were killed in the chlorine gas attack – an accusation dismissed by the Syrian government as “farcical”.

Among those killed, witnesses said, were many women and children who had sought refuge in the basements of buildings to escape heavy bombardment by pro-government forces.

iraqis or saddam hussein?

so do you feel any sympathy for the syrians who suffered under assad? or iraqis under saddam? or afghans under the taliban? do you?

naka-relate ka ba? o walang lang...

coz iba sila eh...

pero bakit relate na relate ka sa suffering ng mga ukrainian?

di ka naman white, european

coz being lifelong consumers of western media and pop culture, pinoys actually feel closer to white westerners than to people of other races and cultures

you don’t?

is it hard to see other people who do not conform to your stereotype of a western media consumer?

well you're exhibiting signs* of a typical lifelong consumer of western media and pop culture

*western bias

not surprising since you classified most if not all of the forumers here as having drank the western kool aid - incapable of independent thought or opinion free of propaganda

I wonder what Xi will do with Russia. XiTin........

"[Putin] even believes that China will rescue Russia, which is absurd," Kozyrev argued. "China is kind of inciting him to go to quarrel with the West because it’s in their interest … because if he loses the Western markets – even Japan and many other countries joined the sanctions – he will crawl to China asking them to buy some of their mineral resources."

"Of course, if someone offers you to sell something and they know they are this person’s last resource of money, you will ask for tremendous discounts," he continued. "The Chinese are good businessmen and ruthless businessmen … in a desperate position, that’s the last partner I would want to deal with."

i'm trying to see things from Putin's POV

the west is supplying weapons to ukraine

the west is providing intelligence to ukraine

the west imposed economic sanctions on ukraine

the west sent trainers to ukraine



maari para kay putin declaration of war na mga yan

it's the west that thinks ww3 hasn't yet started

Your reasoning (POV analysis) is flawed and is not supported by evidence.

Ukraine is still an independent state, has been for a longer time than Russia itself. What they do is their business. He can't say it's his war. Again kung makuha niya Ukraine, papano na yung dalawang katabi na NATO members? Threat na mas matindi, invade na din? Kaya nga si Putin may neo-nazi proopaganda din eh, para meron ibang segway, aka palusot. Power trip lang talaga niya yan. Ballistic missiles can travel between continents now, no need to park weapons at your door if you want to talk about national security. If may kaaway ka from UN's permanent members, it does not matter where your country is located, you've definitely got a national security.

Paulit-ulit ka din dyan as western kool-aid (and your chinese kool-aid). It's been settled that not country that ever experienced some sort of superpower status - now or before - is not guilty of atrocities. The difference between then and now is that in the west even with all the media brainwash you mentioned have people that dissent from those actions. Again GWB and PM Blair suffered due to the WMD fiasco.

The big question is of all the evils, which one should we ought to have as the prime superpower now. So should it be Russia or China or US? POV that with what they have done so far in the last 50years to the Philippines and you would understand why we feel more strongly inclined to condemn Russia. Yung Iraq, Afghan (which Russia invade first before the west did BTW), Syria gaano ba ka-affected Pinas para magalit pinoys. Mgaling ka sa analysis diba, bakit hindi mo ma-analyze na yung giyera ngayon mas matindi effect sa buong mundo at sa Pinas kaya expect mo na mas matindi backlash, regardless of what happened in the past. Basic naman diba.

Bias? What do you expect? Ikaw nga meron din eh.

US sanctioning Japan? Really that's your play? Ah eh member na ng axis powers si Japan before Pearl Harbor, technically ayaw pa ng US sumali pero they support UK and the allies at that time so, the US did not bring the war to Japan, Japan brought it to the US. Sakto analogy mo ah, may kupal na nag-invade diba kaya naging ganyan WW2? Parang ngayon din.

from what i understand,
ukraine declared independence from the ussr, in 1991.
putin wants ukraine back.
it's that simple.
