    1. @TheDrAstrov
      Russian television !! 🤣👍Real champions !! Nuclear Muppets raging all day and night !!! HAHA 🥳 🤪
      Brain drain in Russia : quite logical !

    2. Just like Germany did in 1942. Killed 33 Millions Russians. Just like USA did in Vietnam. Killed millions. Also dropped 2 nukes on Japan.

  1. “He is very close to his defeat”.
    Everybody says this…..If only it could be true.
    This man is brave.

    1. @Wiz KID you are ignorant about the nature of modern warfare. Russia has no command control supply support. Numbers don’t matter.

    2. @Muslims remember Apostacy Day 22nd of August “Atheist religion?” The Latin term literally means “without religion.”
      Regardless, incest is proscribed by all religions except for a few cults, whose adherents are mostly limited to remote areas in the Southwest regions of the USA.

    3. ​@J lock Cope harder, kurwa. Ukraine has been steadily demolishing Russia since July. The fact that their electrical grid has been damaged recently will not affect the soldiers in battlefield, mostly stationed far from the cities and are very well-equipped to survive winter.

    4. @Gooigi googa Equipment matters. You can’t send in 8 million people to fight with just their bare hands (or indeed with just Mosin rifles.) In WWII, The Soviet Union was heavily reliant on American and British Lend Lease to build up their army and win (Stalin himself admitted this in private.) In the present day, Russia cannot manufacture tanks, IFVs and other military vehicles to keep up with these losses.

    1. Truth always comes out. Russia does not live in the truth. They live in a constant state of lies. Lies permeate everything in and about Russia.
      Ukraine knows the truth. They speak it, live in it, expects it, demand it, and shout from the far corners of Ukraine.

  2. If you love yourself, you do what’s best for you. If you do what’s best for you, you can give the best of yourself to those you love

    1. Very true. It’s like putting on a breathing mask on a plane- unless you allow yourself to catch a breath there is nothing you can do for anyone else. So yes, very true.

    2. No wonder why Putin don’t want these kind of ppl in Russia’s, because they got all the west’s bad way s . Give them Putin get them out

    3. What if killing someone would be best for you? Say like someone saw you commit a crime and was going to tell the police on and you could get life. So would be ok to kill that person so they can’t rat you out? Doing what’s best for you is not always the right thing.

  3. EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE THEIR LIFE HOW THEY WANT TO…NONE OF ANYBODY ELSE’S BUSINESS! !!!!. ..CONGRATS BOTH ..

    1. If you believed in your faith you will realize that you are doing the wrong thing. Because the purpose of human existence is to worship the Almighty God and man gets married to a woman not the other way around man to man!!! Even the field of science it has no logic in it. Cos sperm plus sperm does produce anything.

  4. In this criminal environment, if a boss missed he is not a boss any more. He will be overthrown

  5. i hope he’s right that it’s over soon. But i can’t imagine how or what will do it. A coup seems unlikely, puting getting sick seems unlikely, it feels like no one likes him, but also no one wants to take a step to remove him

    1. The vast majority of the Russian people love Putin. Millions of people across the Global South and Asia see Putin as their champion in the fight against western neo colonialism piracy.

    2. oh it will happen, way too late but it is assured. putin has laid waste to so many lives and resources, and to russia’s international standing, and once the already inevitable military defeat materializes, putin will have only enemies even in his own circles. unfortunately, he will be rather safer while the war continues since nobody wants to remove putin and then lose the war and take the blame. putin will have to be the one to lose it, and with it he’ll lose everything else, his power, his personal freedom, and quite possibly his life. and he knows it. so the war’s only purpose now is to keep putin in power, which he’ll prolong at any cost for as long as he can

  6. This guy has a great understanding. Thanks for this. Its important to understand how these social, biological things have existed in our human race….forever.He is a brave guy.

    1. Chivalrous looking too, to boot.
      I’m reconsidering my heterosexuality now.
      …sometimes I wish I had feelings for the same sex but I just don’t, damnit

    1. I don’t think there’s any guarantee the successor will be benevolent. the people near him probably got their by being equally nutty. Look at the people near Trump. All nutjobs too. When Mike Pence is the voice of reason we’re fucked.

  7. I read his wiki bio. Very impressive guy. Risked his life, and gave up his homeland to try and save it from a crazy despot. Great courage & integrity. Sadly even when Putin is gone, it will not be safe for him to return as an out gay man.

    1. @Kelly Macgillberg ya same in Africa, why is ypur propaganda machine not winning in pushing your gay agrnda down Africa’s throats then?

    2. @Anna Igelström everyone, don’t interact with sickos like Anna Igelstrom. She ( IT ) has shown what a nasty, brutal, pile of rotting crap IT is. Don’t try and explain that homosexuals are also people with feelings to IT. IT lives in a world of hate and complete stupidity. Keep away from IT and other ITS like IT. And I say this as a straight man. LGBT people, good, empathetic people support you.

    3. @Ash Dobbs looks like Ash Dobbs is yet another sick, empathy deficient, brain dead, nasty, brutal and stupid IT. IT lives in the land of hate. Don’t interact with IT. LGBT people, we good, empathetic people support you. And I say that as a straight man.

    4. @joseph raccuia Dude, you seem to need to lay of the booze for a while 🤣 Are you calling me an IT? Or are you angry at IT? And I would really love to hear why you think I’m “a sicko”? 🧐

    5. @Anna Igelström IT, would you like to explain to all of us what you meant by your comment “if a man lays with another man they should both be stoned”.

  8. Very intelligent and enlightening precedence set for the future Slava Ukraine 👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🤗

  9. Ms Amanpour is a gem both as an interviewer and a journalist. Great show, the truth about Russia needs to be out there.
