What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

The war aim of fascist Russia is to annihilate Ukraine as a state and the Ukrainian people as a nation.
This war cannot possibly end by negotiations, ceding territory, submitting to the demands of the aggressors, or giving up on the core values of civilization. It can only end by defeating Russia.

After a fraudulent election in Georgia, the faction of oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili continues the overthrow of democracy.
Ivanishvili is a capo in the Putin-Kremlin crime syndicate. His cadre, Georgian Dream, held a one-party parliament to end direct election of the President.

Ominous for Russian-owned Aughinish Alumina in Co Limerick, which employs around 500 people. Rusal is controlled by the Putin oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
Rusal said it would cut output by 250,000 metric tons as profit margins are squeezed by record-high alumina prices.
Russia’s Rusal to Cut Aluminum Production Amid Rising Costs, Sluggish Demand - The Moscow Times
Russian metals giant Rusal announced Monday that it will reduce aluminum production by at least 6% due to surging raw material costs and declining domestic demand.

In 2022, Putin said he had “no problem” with Finland joining NATO, even though this more than doubled Russia’s border with NATO. He then withdrew most troops and demilitarised the Finnish frontier. This proves that Putin’s problem is with Ukrainian independence not NATO expansion
