Heading towards World War III?

Russia has admitted it has used powerful thermobaric vacuum bombs in its invasion of Ukraine – a feared weapon capable of vaporising human bodies.

The TOS-1A "heavy flamethrower" system sucks in air to create a massive explosion that is able to damage internal organs.

The weapon, which disperses particles over a wide area before igniting, can be deadly to people in enclosed spaces – such as buildings in urban warfare

While the weapon is not banned its use does fall under the law of armed conflict's regulations.

The World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders program included Zelensky who graduated in 2000, as did Trudeau. In July 2019, Zelensky credited the Canadian Prime Minister with “inspiring him to get into politics.” The funding for Zelensky’s TV series was put up by an oligarch friend linked to George Soros. Zelensky will not compromise as Trudeau acted against the tuckers. Meanwhile, Zelensky keeps trying to drag NATO and the US which he knows fully well will unleash World War III. There is another agenda here from the start, something was just not right. I have friends in Kyiv and just as in Canada, NOT all Ukrainians see Zelensky as a hero. Both China and Russia can also follow the money trail and it does not lead to the military.

Russia has become the world's most sanctioned country, with over 5000 sanctions slapped against it. Brands like McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Zara, H&M, Netflix have all suspended operations in Russia. Spotify and Amazon too have hit pause.

US President Joe Biden has announced a ban on imports of Russian diamonds, seafood and vodka in the latest response to Russia's war in Ukraine.

The US, European Union and other allies also plan to revoke Russia’s status as an equal trade partner, paving the way for further economic punishment.

The moves add to sanctions that have isolated Russia economically since the invasion.

As well as the US moves, the European Union said it would ban imports of key Russian iron and steel products, bar new energy investments in the country and cut off exports of luxury goods to Russia, while the UK put sanctions on hundreds of Russian politicians.

Under international rules, designating a country a "most favoured nation" provides reciprocal trade privileges such as lower tariffs, taxes imposed at the border.

Stripping Russia of that status clears the way for higher tariffs on key products it sells such as mineral fuels, fertilisers and metals.

By removing this status from Russia, G7 countries will be able to target its exports with punitive tariffs, or taxes. In fact one of them, Canada, has already done so. Last week it imposed tariffs of 35% on all products coming from Russia and its compliant ally, Belarus.

In order to do this, Canada relied on an exemption contained in one of the WTO agreements, which allows members to take action they consider necessary to protect their "essential security interests". It is likely the others will do the same.

Lt. Col. Daniel Davis discusses Russia's weaknesses and his greatest fear about what could unfold upon Ukrainian civilians

Russia's state media watchdog Roskomnadzor says Instagram will be blocked in the country due to "calls for violence" against Russian soldiers.

Instagram owner Meta said it would let its users in some countries call for violence against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian soldiers.

It will temporarily allow some violent posts such as "death to the Russian invaders" that usually break its rules.

However, it says it won't permit calls for violence against Russian civilians.

In response to Meta's shift in policy, Russia called on the US to stop the social media giant's "extremist activities".
