Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen will also take part in the event next week. She will deliver a recorded message, in which she is expected to underscore that the struggle for freedom is a global challenge.
When this nonsense is terminated, I wonder if zelensky will less wealthy or more wealthy than when it began.
Qatar a net exporter of grain? Must be grown no where near Al Udeid, never saw anything grow there but junior tumbleweeds.Qatar is a net exporter(since 2017 and only imported around every other year prior to that even).
Saudi Arabia has banned Canadian imports,and limits US imports to crops below 5% bug damaged(strict by global standards),their largest grain imports in 2021-22 were from Russia(they are also in the process of joining BRICS,and have a defense pact with Russia now).
Kuwait on the other hand is almost 100% reliant on the US and imports grain from almost no where else.
Even with grain exports flowing from Ukraine at this point less than 3% have made it to Africa(with Egypt filing complaints about unfilled contracts). Almost all of Ukraine's grain the past 2 years has gone to the EU,China,Egypt,and Turkey(in 2021 Egypt was second after China this year they are not in the top 20). The very first ship after the embargo was lifted was supposed to go to Lebanon(#10 country for 2021 grain exports from Ukraine in 2022 not a single shipment likely because they would not condemn Russia) but re-routed "because of a failed grain sale" to Turkey,then on to Bulgaria(then by train to countries in the EU).

How will they do that short of a coup? He controls the only political party allowed in the country.When this war is over a lot will depend on what he does, if he's slow off the mark rebuilding or brings in carpetbaggers again from the west, the people will likely throw him out.
Polonium?When this nonsense is terminated, I wonder if zelensky will less wealthy or more wealthy than when it began.
Polonium my old friendPolonium?
Polonium my old friend
Step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again
For one more time
Let your madness run with mine
Streets still unseen we'll find somehow
No time is better than now
(With apologies to Steely Dan )

My comment was based on the soil I observed in Qatar in 2005, I'm stunned anything will grow there. There were a lot of years between high school senior KellyinAvon was on an FFA Soil Judging Team (Fall of 1981) and SMSgt KellyinAvon being deployed to Qatar (2005) but the dirt I saw there ain't growin ****.Qatar Exports of oil seed, oleagic fruits, grain, seed, fruits - 2024 Data 2025 Forecast 2000-2022 Historical

They might disagree with you. I also agree they do not export much,but some.My comment was based on the soil I observed in Qatar in 2005, I'm stunned anything will grow there.

Looking at the link in your post there is a lot of variation year to year in the exports. Never over $600K, just over $24K in 2020 ain't nothing to write home about.
Qatar is hosting the World Cup here in a few days. I'm waiting to see how the Euros deal with the heat and humidity in Qatar. It was 80 degrees and humid the day I got there... it was 8 January.

As far as I understand it Libertarian's are against our support of the war? At least all the ones I just voted for were. As well as us even being in NATO and US central government involvement in overthrowing other countries costing US citizens trillions with the wars that follow.I must be the warmonger on here, because I fully support the continued and expanded supply of weaponry to Ukraine.
For the first time since WWII we are causing the total destruction of a hostile nations war machine without spilling a single drop of American blood. We are able to defeat an aggressive nation simply by supplying a motivated defender with superior firepower. To my thinking that is a win far beyond Ukraine.
It is a win to my thinking beyond Ukraine because it sends a message to China and anyone else even thinking of attacking someone America likes. They don't need to have a treaty, or be a member of NATO, or anything else. F*** with someone America likes and who is willing to fight and your losses will be catastrophic, possibly regime changing.
The idea of Ukraine now entering negotiations is laughable. If Biden is ignoring a generals push to negotiate, then he has more chutzpah than that general! The only negotiation Ukraine should even consider is this, "Leave all Ukrainian territory including Donetsk and Crimea, take all of your supporters with you, and we will stop killing you by the tens of thousands. Agreed?"
Collaterally this is a great marketing tool for American industry. A lot of countries are giving Ukraine obsolete equipment, much like what happened to Turkey. Those countries are going to then upgrade. Who's weapons do I think they'll buy? It ain't Russian. Our exports will probably improve.
All that said above I would truly love for this war to end as quickly as possible! I just want it ending with a complete victory for Ukraine and their regaining of all territory including Crimea.

Doug
