Europe needs peace; it should not be divided. It is very easy to provoke Russia to enter a war in Ukraine. If you and your families are divided, you will be colonized easily. I support Putin; I believe that he is providing a balance of power in the world now.
We have another interview with Alexander Mercouris, an independent expert in international law, who will share his thoughts on NATO’s latest activity. NATO has adopted its "Readiness Action Plan", which is aimed at responding to the supposed "risks and threats at NATO’s borders and further afield", including so-called "challenges posed by Russia and their strategic implications." The spokesman highlighted that "It is absolutely ridiculous to say that Russia poses any kind of military threat to the NATO alliance at all".
Russians will now see all of these steps as a threat and will consider NATO a hostile alliance. This means that Russia will initiate political and diplomatic steps to build its own counter-relations with other powers and create a balance to the threat posed to it.

So here's what our listeners and readers think:
Duy Mill wrote: "Vladimir Putin has shown remarkable restraint from going into full-scale war compared to his predecessors. The predecessors from decades ago or even century/centuries ago would have struck instantly, barely or no dialogue. I am for Putin, even before the EU sanctions."
James Wodon added: "Europe needs peace, it should not be divided. It is very easy to provoke Russia for a war to Ukraine. If you and your families are divided, you will be colonized easily. I support Putin, I believe him as a balance power in the World now. “
Nina Greenwood believes "It's obvious that the English and US upper class wants war and is goading Russia into military action against the Ukraine neo-fascists."
Murad Kasimov wrote: "Russia's now sick and tired of constantly being made a laughing stock of. The Russians had never and don't trigger the conflicts in any part of the world which cannot be said about NATO, posing the threats to the world community at the same time getting more and more countries into the proxy war. Ukraine is pretty much of the one involved... The Ukraine conflict did not begin with the Donbass region and the people uprising, but Klitchko and Yarosh, who were anticipating the war with Russia and playing the role of Western puppets. Then the Western game took some staggering turn. McCain was so fed up with his own countries' problems that made up his mind to visit the Ukraine people and back them right on the square. Detroit is still dipped in a tremendous bankruptcy, but these guys have nothing to do with it. Very odd, isn't it? What else you heard from the Ukraine information lies armory is the MH-17 plane crash, the recent Putin's words of two-week capture of Ukraine and so on and so forth."
