Good morning – Strict Ludwig | Isolated Putin

Isolated Putin. The war rhetoric is becoming more and more abysmal: Now Putin is already saying “3. World War”… After US President Joe Biden had warned of a “nuclear Armageddon”, i.e. de facto of the end of the world, Putin’s henchmen are now again pouring tons of oil into the blazing fire. Moscow threatened that if Ukraine joins NATO, it could mean World War III. The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council also accused the Ukrainians of deliberately taking this risk. Only bad news from the warring countries in our neighborhood? No, the most recent UN resolution, in which 143 of 193 states demand that Russia must return the annexed Ukrainian territories, must be viewed positively. Only five pariah countries, namely Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua and Syria, voted against this resolution, while China and India, among others, abstained. We know that UN resolutions are basically worthless. But the clear voting behavior shows how isolated Putin is now in the world.
