More info for the interested:

"Regarding the UN General Assembly resolution which called for Russia's suspension from the UN's Human Rights Council, Browne said this was discussed amongst Caricom colleagues on Wednesday and Thursday, but no consensus was arrived at.

He said TT had taken note of the fact that the International Criminal Court Prosecutor is currently investigating the situation in Ukraine and this includes investigations of alleged war crimes and alleged crimes against humanity.

These investigations have not been concluded, and as such any definitive and actionable findings have yet to be reported.

"With that in mind, it is our considered position that the suspension of membership rights (of Russia) at the Human Rights Council would best be considered subsequent to such an actionable independent report, and as such we abstained on this particular vote," Browne said.

He revealed that Belize, Barbados, Guyana, St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Kitts Nevis, and Suriname also abstained."

Any successful individual knows that somewhere along the road YOU need to pick a side ..

No FREE lunches especially in politics .. Ask Fired Faris who is in charge of potholes filling and clearing of bush in abandoned lands.


T&T ALWAYS on the WRONG side and they have no moral compass since they are a Third World sufferer country made by themselves ..

USA is the leading CASH country and trading partner - T&T worships the US dollar !

Ironically T&T picks Castro's Cuba. Maduro's Venezuela and now Putin's Russia

In lieu of USA !!

Why is T&T leaning - no leadership here - down a road of dotishness by a person who ALL know is HUGE with dovish agendas ?

Protest and protest and protest .. since Putin is a Hilter .

Well maybe NOT ..

T&T waiting for the results of the Commission Of Enquiry for Putin

Oryx, an open source military analysis website, tracks military equipment losses and only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photographic or video evidence is available.

It estimates that Russia has lost more than 400 tanks, 20 aircraft and 32 helicopters, as well as hundreds of armoured vehicles and other equipment.

Smaller Ukrainian losses may reflect the size of Ukraine's armed forces, but may also signal tactical success.

April 10 (Reuters) - Russia has made a "massive strategic blunder" as Finland and Sweden look poised to join NATO as early as the summer, The Times reported on Monday, citing officials.

The United States officials said that NATO membership for both Nordic countries was "a topic of conversation and multiple sessions" during talks between the alliance's foreign ministers last week attended by Sweden and Finland, report added.

New development in the fight against independent and free thinking politicians/countries to side with the US of A against Russia. Imran Khan was the first Pakistani Prime Minister to be removed by a no confidence vote. Khan claims that he was singled out for "refusing to be a puppet of the west". He refused to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, visited Putin in Russia and voted no on the UN Resolution to expel from the UNHRC.
Meanwhile India is trying to maintain a neutral position. Also, India abstain from voting to expel Russia from the UNHRC. However, it seems that the Biden administration is pressuring India to roll back its ties with Russia and what is more troubling to the US of A is that the India Russia trade is conducted in rupees and rubles. Biden failed to persuade Modi to stop buying discounted oil from Russia. India is strong and independent but corruption is rampant and politicians can swayed with a few rupees.

Yes, dissolving your Parliament to prevent a no confidence vote, one supported by a majority which included your OWN PARTY, screams Western interference.

Biden going after Germany and the EU with the same fervour?

In terms of negotiating an agreement with those countries "not standing or even those standing with us" but need Russian trade are as follows: bribes (sweet talk and promises), arm twisting, backroom deals. threats and sanctions but not necessarily in that order. Since, the EU countries cannot easily find or replace cheap Russian gas and oil the real question will be: Is the US of A going to sanctions EU countries whose life depends on Russian oil and gas? Do you think that EU countries will seek their own interest or or bow to the external pressure.

I saw sumwhere that USA had cut back Russia oil import at the beginning of the war, but has now increased it, to even more than it was... To mske up fur the dip

Over 1,000 Ukrainian Soldiers Surrender In Mariupol: Russia's Defence Ministry

[adnj]

President Joe Biden is authorizing the transfer of around $750 million in additional weapons to Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion, three people familiar with the new package told POLITICO.

Using his presidential drawdown powers, Biden will give Kyiv’s forces drones, howitzers and protective equipment against possible chemical attacks along with other weapons.

Lol well if this is really true then all the US needs is about 4 to 5 days and they would obliterate Russia. If China decides to help them as well as Pakistan, Iran and North Korea then add an additional week or 2. America can take over the world in less than 1 month and they won't even need any help from UK, Canada, Australia or Israel.

I always used to think Russia's military might was understated, now I'm beginning to wonder if it was overstated. If orange man does make it back into office in 2024, Putin should retire from politics at that point cause true bacchanal will start then.

That's only because this was an "occupy" war. Mechanized warfare is outdated. If it came to a superpowers fight, most of these won't be needed.

[Dizzy28]

Also quality over quantity.
I'm sure the 400 Leopards and Challengers will wipe the floor with 1000 T72s and T80s.

How The U.S. Does 'Diplomacy' https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/h ... omacy.html
The U.S. doesn't do diplomacy. Every country has its own interests. But the U.S. and its pricks in the State Department insist that its interests must have priority over all others. Any country that disagrees with that will be called out on this or that issue or will even get sanctioned.

Since, the EU countries cannot easily find or replace cheap Russian gas and oil
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/09/firms-will-go-bust-germany-prepares-for-a-future-without-russian-gas
EU countries have been scrambling to source new supplies of LNG to replace gas shipments from Russia

https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukrai ... c989f2b92b
Whatever allegiance Europe and specifically Germany owes to the US, will end at the point of self-preservation. Poland may very well have a revanchist attitude towards Russia (understandably), but it is Germany, France and Italy who decide where the EU goes. Hungary has already declared that they would pay for their gas and oil in rubles.

the real question will be: Is the US of A going to sanctions EU countries whose life depends on Russian oil and gas?

Do you think that EU countries will seek their own interest or or bow to the external pressure.

Opinion. No evidence.

Opinion is a good thing, it shows analysis and critical thinking.

The question remains, for the self preservation and interest of the EU countries that depend on Russian oil and gas and NATO for protection are caught between then proverbial rock and a hard place to choose and if so will the US of A sanction them?

Saw since early this afternoon posts from pro Ukrainian channels that the UAF hit the Black Sea flagship Moskva with two Neptune cruise missiles. This is the same ship that was told to go fcuk itself by the men on Snake Island early in the war.

Seems Tass the Russian news site has confirmed an "event" happened on the Moskva today. Big if the Ukrainians did take it down.

[sMASH]

Seeing all over that it got taken out.

Shameful.


This escapade showing Russia was little to fear.
In the words of the young boys on the block "they not bad"
