he could have said “No”. that would be shorter
There ARE NATO troops, HAVE BEEN, right NOW IN EUROPE. He’s not going to tell YOU where, but you would know if you had been paying ATTENTION.
@Harald Bj Thunem Guess again. Massed NATO troops have been in Europe for almost 2 weeks, engineers longer. But nobody is going to broadcast WHERE. Pay attention if you really want KNOW.
@Make China Great Again There ARE NATO troops IN EUROPE now, and have BEEN. But nobody wants you to know it…
@Victor Yorro we should have a big beautiful nuclear war. It’ll be huge. …people are saying it’ll be a war unlike any war in history. A world War infact, involving many many countries in the world
This is what Biden said about Putin before he was elected:
“Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why – it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him,”
-Biden’s Feb. 21, 2020
Ok Boys and Girls can you say Midterm Elections ( of course with your mask on)?
Let’s counts the ways:
-7.5% Inflation rate , the highest rate since 1982
-Disastrous Pull out of
Afghanistan ,13 American Military Personnel Killed and 1000s of Americans and Afghan Allies left behind
-Highest Gas Prices in decades
-2 million illegal migrants crossed the Southern Border, 30% refused vaccine and 16% positive for COVID 19 ( according to the US Border Patrol) , all occurring in Biden’s first year as President
-The highest homicide rate in our 16 largest cities run by Democrats for decades
This is Jimmy Carter 2.0-DISASTER!
“So long as there are men there will be war.” ~Albert Einstein
@Joel Roher you do know Hillary was willing to shoot down Russian planes over Syria. Which would caused a world war and possibly nuclear war
@Joel Roher History has proven otherwise.
States of interests and will often go to war to protect those interests. What is between the legs of the leader of the state won’t ‘change that.
@Joel Roher So you’re saying you would have preferred war?
Does invading and bombing poor people who can’t defend themselves half way across the world amuse you?
There are only two reasons why you would hold the position you hold.
1. You’re simply ignorant.
2. You’re not ignorant, understand what is going on but happen to be a horrible human being.
Which is it?
@Joel Roher you’d rather have women send men to war? Would soldiers want to follow women into battle?
@Joel Roher I’m sorry but that’s stupid, women are the most vindictive people on the planet.
How much you wanna bet the Ukrainian people will just give up and not fight just as the Afghans did? The COUNTRY of Taiwan is next. You can bet on that. China is watching this very closely.
@Tom Nguyen That’s a very scary thought because China is going to, not only try, but going to get Taiwan. It will happen within the year. I know.
@Shankroid Beast No bloodshed is endless, it’ll just last for as long as Putin can endure. It’s a test of endurance and will between Russia and Ukraine
@SirPanic12 I’m guessing you don’t know a lot of racists people, and that’s commendable but not realistic. No matter the label they all hate for no reason at all. They are what is wrong in this world. Peopele hating other people just because they are different than themselves. How idiotic is that?
The Ukrainians might aswell do that otherwise alot of lives will be lost it’s a smart thing to do right now to reduce further casualties
@Underrated God They have no choice, either get slaghtered or wait for the long game. And the long game is coming for Russia. This is the end of Putin.
Plainly said “If you are not part of NATO, You are screwed.” Lot’s of word mincing to explain something simple.
@SS It was not NATO that promised to respect and defend their borders, in return for getting rid of their nuclear arsenal. It was the US and Russia.
@Deborah Freedman yea I know. Russia convinced people that it was legitimate as well. USA has seen this coming for 8 years.
Every organization is to make profit. War with russia = you die, no profit. Its as simple as this.
@Deborah Freedman …and established western backed puppets to please their masters in White house, yeah. There was 8 hrivnya for dollar, now its 30.
It’s called political jargon. These people are not serious about Ukraine just like they weren’t about the Taliban rising again in Afghanistan. Look how THAT all played out. People falling from planes, military weapons aircrafts and vehicles were basically gifted to the Taliban. I’m just praying that peace will be achieved in this sad situation in Ukraine.
Never was a big fan of Stoltenberg. He is not the ‘leader’ style of guy. Anyhow, NATO (especially some of the European partners) might want to ramp up military efforts as some European countries have been quite reluctant to invest in weaponry … This is a big wake-up call from Putin.
Stoltenberg is the best Prime Minister we had in Norway for decades. He might have a silly accent, but he is really experienced with politics and also honestly care about what’s right, I believe, in short: He’s not corrupt or cynical. We do not need to further escalate the situation in Ukraine at the moment. USA and several NATO countries have sent arms and trained Ukrainian troops. I’m sure that those that got training and are patriotic, can find some way to go kill Russians, but other then that we simply have to build up our forces in both East and the Northern Front in Norway. There’s no other alternative, since there’s a real danger that war between nuclear powers might end very ugly for all of us.
@Fantom 7x, He isn’t a leader in this role, he is a spokesperson for Nato which takes direction from presidents of member states. The stronger the country the more say their president has.
Stoltenberg is essentially the person who will articulate what his bosses want.
@Elvenkind Don’t take my view on Stoltenberg offensive. I met the guy only a few times, but my point is that some EU countries now learn how important it can be to have a decent military capacity.
@Fantom 7X I absolutely agree that everyone in NATO should spend the agreed upon sum in arms. Norway have responsibility for Iceland as well, and even Trump liked Norwegians, after our tiny nation with hardly 5 mill people bought 52 new Joint Strike Fighters, giving a helpful boost to US companies, and so also spending much more then the 2% GDP. Still that’s not enough to defend the northern front. We are lacking in a lot of weaponry here. That’s the good thing about membership in NATO, along with so many other, tiny nations in Europe, that can help boost the defense of everyone.
Putin sees the undermining of governments by the refugees they invite in. He also sees the west fighting their own governments. Russia and China both see a weak enemy. It is a good time for war.
“NATO has moved forces into the area…” but won’t actually do anything besides watch…

@Dwayne Pipe any nuclear force on that level from any nation involved would be detrimental to our climate and food chain.
@Carlos Cruz Russia is Europe’s last hope. However, he or his government haven’t said that specifically, it’s the west saying that.
Do your history. And when they come for you, we’ll NOT help!

-He promised to stop COVID 19 and more people died from COVID in Biden’s first Year then the prior Administration despite having 3 COVID 19 vaccines
This is Jimmy Carter 2.0-What a DISASTER!
I don’t see the US or EU giving significant military support especially with China standing by on the sidelines with one of the largest military forces in the world. It could leave us susceptible to attack. Care needs to be had.
@Joey Grant facts
China is an economic power – they aren’t screwing that up – Russia is an economic mess that’s why Putin is trying to steal another countries resources
@Blaine Boyle Russia has been one of the fastest growing economies in Europe since 2000, going from #12 in the world to #6.
By average annual growth among countries over 15 million in population, only Rumania and Turkey have grown faster, barely (and if Turkey should be considered in Europe.)
I haven’t looked at all the smaller countries, as it’s a bit of a pain; but among littler countries, Georgia barely edged Russia in growth; while Sweden, Belgium, Belarus, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary and Czechia would be slower, usually _far_ slower.
Tbh, Yeltsin and his advisor’s _katastroika_ was a Holodomor level economic disaster that only bottomed out in 1999, so there was lots of room to recover. Still…
@Anonymous Coward so Russia is starting a war for what reason? They like Ukrainian perogees!!!
Why would Russia care about sanctions when China is more than willing actually quite happy to have Russia diverting NATO’S attention, so expect Cina to spoon feed Russia circumventing those sanctions. Also look for rapid developments in So. China sea.
Well said unfortunately common sense is not a thing these days.
They know this, this is just a huge D**k measuring contest as other countries and the Us don’t wanna seem like they’re powerless and can’t do anything 🤦🏼♂️
You don’t know what you’re talking about so you? Explain to me how China is supposed to replace the entire European market. There’s are only certain products Europe buys, such as, for example, the vast majority of Russian gas and oil. China can’t make all that up
Taiwan is already at heightened alert status. China is definitely going to use this Ukraine situation to take advantage.
I am tired of hearing “we condemn” this or any action. Wow, such a strong response! I condemned McDonalds today for giving me Diet Coke instead of regular. McDonalds said they didn’t care. Condemn…a response of pure weakness.
@Diana Riverjackson No he wouldn’t, Putin wouldn’t send nukes because then tons of countries would then nuke Russia

Wouldn’t want to walk in his shoes. Russia has a 190.000 troops battle ready and it would be extremely difficult even with NATO forces to get them to withdraw. I don’t think there ever will be a nuclear confrontation but the two largest armies of the world clashing in Ukraine would result in hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Soooo true.
“we are and we will increase our forces in the region of our alliance”
(knowing that Ukraine is not within our NATO alliance)
@XMan That’s Bill Clinton, nothing more
@Tavernum unfortunately Putin doesn’t think so
Ve
You have to understand :
1) Nato since founding days – 49, has aiways been comitted to defence. Reactions, not action.
2) to meet Russian troops on the battlefield in Ukraine is impossible for a number of reasons, but most important..
3) that could easely led close up to Ww3. Something nobody want
4)in times like this Natos focus always will be to do whatever possible to DEecalate, NOT ecalate.
5) many people in NATO – East are very afraid today – on the btink of panicing. Thats way
6) a. Again and again talk about NATO garanty on consern for these countries.
b. never use words of concern. (Ww3 etc) because that could create the panic they do their best to avoid.
(media would go crazy with such language)
@XMan It’s not that NATO is expanding, it’s that Eastern European countries applied to join for protection and for democratization following communist rule.
Stoltenberg talk only. Russian army already enter Ukraine. Ask him when will nato soldiers will enter Ukraine. Not a single country dare to fight Russian soldiers. Period.
He should have just said “NO”. Wtf.
Members of the UN have allegedly supplied resources to Ukraine .. I hope this doesn’t become a global disaster ..people say this may be a continuation of the cold war … I hope the UN and NATO take action because war like this has repercussions
UKRAINE: Help Us World! 😭
IRAQ & SYRIA: First time?
NATO Secretary General: ” We will continue to use the harshest non-committing language in diplomatic lexicon so that everyone has absolutely no clue what our real intentions are …. only that it sounds great on cable news!”
He’s not going to broadcast it, but NATO TROOPS (from everywhere) are now and have BEEN, in Europe, waiting for orders. You would know WHERE if you had been paying close ATTENTION.
@mabs skull would you rather like him to be “brave” (suicidal) and to start large convertional war with Russia that would soon become nuclear one🙀☠️
Bidennns gonna have a hard time funneling his cheinese moneyyy in ukraine now, this helps the usa out alooot.
They will fight if a member country is attacked, he was pretty clear
Okay, that sounds clever you should really be a writer .
NATO: No Action, Talk Only
america nato always plays big cop attacked cina serbia kills blacks people and other countries of the world america kills people
u should be gratefull , if nato join force then world war III officially start
@Ronnie Darrel IF….. big if. Do they? I am not sure they dare to enter this war.
When comes up to taliban and ISIS : we should be there to protect democracy.
When comes up to Russia (maybe China too): this is not our war
“We have the strongest alliance in the world.”
*Russian missiles rain down on Ukraine as this guy is talking*
@SirPanic12 who?
@Jimmy Timmy Terrorists and war criminals
@SirPanic12 Lol according to the US. Just like their fake Weapons of Mass destruction they never found. The US is the biggest hypocrite in the history of the world.
@Jimmy Timmy According to international standards, actually. Anyone who murders, terrorizes, tortures, kidnaps, and robs their people of freedom is a criminal and a terrorist. Actually, thats starting to sound like Putin. Maybe Russia needs a regime change LOL
@SirPanic12 Lol. Hypocrite.
Taiwan must be scared as hell watching all countries just sit and watch…
Not really. It is already set if China invades we will get involved.
@Aquarian -Talk hope so… but wouldnt surprise me that the story repeats again.
Men, Taiwan has been under the Communitst China’s constant threats and attacks for more than 70 years, what makes you think they are scared as hell now 🙂 Not all people in the world are cowards like NATO, including Joe’s aministration.
In short, NATO: Ukraine, you are on your own.
That’s better, NATO should reconsider the decision wisely. China is on the verge watching, don’t make it a world war pls
Bye Ukraine been nice knowing you 🤣
In short “ukraine did not join our membership program when we were giving free trial so therefore ukraine you are screwed and on your own”
