''The aid collected for Ukraine is the largest ever in the history of the Republic. With 250 pallets of food and 32 pallets of medicines, enough has been collected to fill 15 shipping containers, CNA reported.

During a tour of the port authority warehouse Sentonas thanked the public, municipalities, communities and organised groups that had contributed to the effort to collect and send humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The first shipment will depart on Tuesday, he said. The drive was coordinated by the ports authority.''

Naval ships, not just Russian ships; let's be clear.

By and large, we have extreme cognitive bias and on the world stage, we dont play by the rules.

Condaleeza rice was being interviewed by US media about a week ago and she agreed that invading a country is wrong, no matter what the justification.

But because Russia is doing it, and not the US and most people in the west wouldnt even be aware that she and they, undermine their own righteousness. :roll:


"Americans" and Americans, you say?

Just today, the Russians did enter the port city and were repelled. They had to withdraw.

What else =di they come for?

And you speak about my cognitive bias. What about yours? What about your cognitive bias and support of an illegal invasion into the sovereign State of Ukraine. I mean how hypocritical can you get?


From the very beginning, before the war even started I am the first one who said the Ukraine boarding Russia by 1200+ Km cannot bring Nato to it's doorstep because this is a huge country and the result would be to encircle Russia. The whole world was watching the Russians for months patiently trying to get a logical agreement both with Nato and Ukraine, however they were all mocking them and actually the Anglo Saxons were provoking them to do this war, even setting the dates! Therefore I always believed Russia's reaction was absolutely justified. Now if you think this reaction could be anything other than an invasion then you are naive.
Russia is a superpower and had enough from the US who would have (and already has) done much worse in multiple occasions. These are the realities in which we live.

I didn't say you have cognitive bias which to a small degree everyone has. I said you had EXTREME cognitive bias which is psychotic.Who is the only one in this forum who never sees the other side of the story, while he supports everything the Anglo Saxons do under the coverage of Nato as if they are Angels blessed by God? Who is the only who constantly imagines victories and parades for what he calls "us"?

Speak for yourself Maximus.

I've klived all my life in Australia - easily the best country in the world or at least on par with Austria and Switzerland and some Scandinavians. The climate and lifestyle though is what makes Australia the best in my view.

Now in America, I life in a society so pluralistic and beuatiful. A country that just forges ahead in every facet with the best opportunities.

We also have a pluralistic media, so people can educate themselves in both America and Australia. It's a case of information overload and too many sources.

Compared to Russia where most is state run and state controled.

Sorry but I think we got it real good compared to our Russian friends.
