  1. Putin is like a guy who’s girlfriend left him 30 years ago, and he’s never gotten over it. He still thinks he can get her back.

    Give it up Putin. She’s gone. She has moved on. More importantly, she’s much happier without you.

    1. @Nra,Morris G Morris, darling, you need some more English lessons before you want to debate leftists. Of course we’d love to hear your views but it feels unfair, to a leftist, to tear someone apart who doesn’t have the words to defend themselves. I’ve heard watching Friends with subtitles on helps a lot. Good luck! We’ll see you back soon for some excellent left / right debate.

    2. @Nra,Morris G research is fundamental…. Gah! It’s too easy! Please stop. I can’t help myself. Maybe I am an English teacher at heart?

    3. @DNMK.CENTER You talk like someone whose first language is not English. Again, not criticizing, just pointing out that you may be outmatched in arguing with leftists. Which is really strange because leftism was supposedly embraced by Russia (USSR) but being left isn’t about oppression and they definitely did that. Well, libertarian left. But I digress. So more English lessons for you and we’ll see you back soon, okay? Bye now!

    4. @flamingo boot Yes, Putin is a radical, authoritarian leftist. These traitors enjoy the authoritarianism because they think it’s “badass.” They are too stupid to know that they’ll be crushed beneath the wheels of fascism. I prefer my leftyness with a hefty dose of libertarianism. The traitors can keep the authoritarian dictators. But not here in the USA. Sorry about that. No, you (not you, flamingo boot, you the traitors) gotta live in Russia. Be sure to take a warm coat, traitors!

  2. Russia has no business in Ukraine 🇺🇦 My heart go for the people in Ukraine especially the children 👧 and the elderly 🍀🌺

    1. Every day thousands of children die (see Child mortality, plz).
      Somebody wants to make others paying for his own sins.
      Romans 14:12: “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”
      I saw how spiritual pedophils spoil betrayersons and sinnersons by teaching them “be ye as your fathers”. (Romans 5:12)
      Here is Jehovah’s word:
      Zechariah 1:4: “Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.”
      I saw how journalistitutes lick the blood of innocents, including their colleges, out of hands of marderers.
      Here is the Christ’s words:
      Mark 4:24: “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.”
      You’d rather repent, or you’ll get your own measure. You’re already getting it.
      Here is the God’s word written by king Solomon:
      Proverbs 16:12: “It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.”
      This is the reason why we don’t see Sodom, Homorra, Babilon, Roman empire, and many other corrupted states anymore.

    2. U and NATO, China and Japan really know, the real evil is the United States If each country reveals what the United States said and moved, it will end in an instant
      Colluding in Ukraine, where weapons were bought and warned, and Russia, which broke its promise not to expand NATO by an inch, revealing the true nature of the United States, but before he says, there is a high probability that Zelensky will be assassinated. Ru

      What the United States wants to do is get in the way of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
      And many countries suffering an economic stall due to energy
      As long as America is there, war will not disappear from the earth.
      Because they want to believe that they are “the best” even if they disturb others, they have a small heart and are weak.

  3. I hope USA will unite more over this. It has been heart warming to see one of Zelensky’s political opponents comment positively on his handling of the situation.

    2. @Teresa Ellis There’s a lot of people that say a lot of things that are oppositional but yet they don’t say the solution the solution so can you please give us the solution a solution inquiry or reminds would like to know

    3. @Richie Greign
      Only under a *senile,* weak and *heavily compromised Sleepy💤BIDEN*
      this could happen. Just like the Crimean Peninsula annexation
      again, under Biden as VP.
      China will act next. Just wait…
      -LEADERSHIP!- ✌️👴💤 -WINNING!-

  4. This is the end of putin. Hopefully a good Russian will take care of this man. The Generals must know they are on the wrong side and have a mad man in putin. It’s time they acted for the sake of Russia and the world.

    1. @1NewMe You clown, we killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in our wars, are women and children TYRANTS, you get yourself over to the Ukrainian front line, or are you a CHICKEN HAWK?

    1. @Hobobo Bobo yeah and your government doesn’t lie to you like KGB-putin doesn’t lie to his people. Anybody can dub a video these days. You should see the ones Rupert Murdoch owner of Fox, the Communist, puts out here, when I have seen the Livestream videos and know that’s not what he said and they tell people otherwise. Keep looking for the truth, don’t stop. I can’t see president Biden saying such a thing. When did this happen, if you don’t mind my asking?

    2. @Filip Filip why do people who make such stupid claims like you just did, never say where they’re from? Where are you from bro… let’s start there shall we?! 🤔

    2. You enjoy supporting small hat nazis? I’m not. I’m not supporting communist Russia either. Both zelenskyy and Putin answer to Israel.

    1. 80% of the congressmen have American passports and run away at war. The president sends his family to Spain and asks the people to make petrol bombs. This is a good president. Ban all Russian TV, that’s freedom of speech

    2. Verifiable data facts that Democrats Communism like fake news CNN ratings don’t age well with time.

      Impeach Biden now.

    3. USA/NATO actually brought war upon Ukrain .They Enjoying Full Show now….when show is getting dull they support of more weapons to fight instead of peace
      Who will suffer UKRAIN
      Who will get killed Ukrain
      Who will benifit USA/NATO
      Who is provoking Russian/ AddingFuel & Sanctioning things USA/NATO, and Ukraine get suffering.
      By putting NATO at door step of Russia, USA thought Russia will seat quietly.

      Say StopTheWar.
      Stop USA/NATO poltics, & make Fooled to Ukraine.
      My heart breaks for Ukraine

  5. In this case a no fly zone is a declaration of war and likely would lead to escalation and WWIII. We need to support Ukraine, and NATO has been unified. But engaging in the conflict is a step that could lead to escalation, possibly nuclear escalation. Plus, it would not be NATO entering the war but the US. That’s a different circumstance. A lot of people discussing the topic of escalation seem not to understand why and what the consequences of escalation would be, whether US or NATO. NATO is no substitute for declaring war. Each state would need to declare war. So, as I said, it ends up being the US and Ukraine vs Russia. NATO and the alliance have done as well as possible. It is clear to me that Ukraine should have already been a member of MATO, but you had a Russian puppet in charge for a while, so that complicated things. And the US supported Ukraine joining NATO in 2006, Germany opposed it because it would offend Russia. Plus again, this was the justification that Russia gave, that we were provoking Russia and that opens the door for many other things that can happen worldwide.

    Talking about Biden’s “weakness”
    And presenting Republican talking points without referencing the GOP’s support for Putin, their obviously being compromised by closeness to Russia, July 4th trips, Maria Buttina, Mueller Report, to reference their talking points and none of that is irresponsible.

    1. One reason I believe it has been made clear [at this moment] that the US will not put boots on the ground or in the air is because it would give Putin heaps of propaganda when planes get shot down etc. to say it’s the Americans and other allies, UK and Australia would automatically agree to provide some support based on recent history but which country would want to be targeted because wherever those planes flying from would then be a Russian target. I can’t see any small Eastern European country wanting that.

  6. President Zelensky and the Ukraine people are demonstrating extreme courage! You can have all of the military power you want, but you can’t underestimate the human fighting spirit. I’m praying that Ukraine stay resilient and fight until the end.

    1. @Vet On The Verge He did not get kicked out. He left willingly. Lol you must have voted for the fool there now. Old fart pants who has distroyed the economy. Obiden flys home every day but not a peep out of CNN and the other propaganda stations!

    2. @spectre inc Because we do not own the world and everything is not our business. Because Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Because this matter (though horrible) is not a matter affecting our national security. I could go on… but these things are pretty much common sense.

      If any NATO member is attacked or invaded, then it would be a different story.

  7. As I was watching Anderson Cooper today Broadcast on Ukraine at the Ukraine substation And watching those African and Indian students that are not citizens of Ukraine Trying to get to safety and seeing the fear and the sadness uncertainty in their eyes brought tears in my eyes they were being overlooked and could not board the train Black And brown America is standing for Ukraine just as well as anyone else but it shows that because of the color of your skin you can and we’ll be left behind

    1. @confused algorithm This about Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty period. Putin is an evil thug who needs to be taken out.

    2. @moni2415 And was it not racism when indian students were kicked and hit with sticks at Ukraine poland border when they tried to cross over to poland for repatriation. At the same time border guards were allowing Ukrainians to cross.

    3. The war has started 8 years ago, but we see it’s consequencies since a few days before now…

    4. That hurts. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m also sorry about the a holes who are above or below me saying crap like “ don’t pull the race card.” 🙄 They are fascists.

  8. What does Ukraine Want : Warthogs, Drones, Radar Anti-Aircraft Missile Systems, Anti-Tank and Ground to Air Missiles.

    1. @Billy Cole II did you see Putin about to cry yesterday in front of his generals? He was pouting because the world turned on him. Even those he thought would stay neutral. Now crybaby Putin is threatening nuclear war.maybe you can volunteer to change his diapers when he shits himself, lmao 🤣

    3. And all that stuff should stay right in america. My tax dollars can be used in america. Everyone has problems. They are not nato

    4. I want to see Europe Russia destroyed by nukes.😷🤣

  9. I understand this. A no-fly zone isn’t theoretical, it has to be implemented and enforced by fighters in that airspace and SAM systems. Enforcing that would mean Americans air forces shooting down Russian air forces, in a conflict zone. So an act of actually enforcing that no-fly zone, would be an American de facto declaration of war with Russia. Same for any other country taking on that role. This is why we do our best to enable Ukraine to defend _itself._ And in many areas, as long as we csn get the equipment and arms to them, and they can get it to where it’s most needed – Ukrainians are very capable of putting up that defense.

    1. @pr0xZen is this also the reason that Ukraine is not (yet) added to NATO? I’m trying to understand why this is being delayed

    2. if we remember how the fear enabled Putin to go further and further, from 2008 when he invaded Georgia, then 2014 when he invaded Ukraine… in every case it was the same argument of not wanting to go to war with Putin, without realizing that Putin is ALREADY waging war against USA… and each victory gave him more strength and control over Russia’s population… if he manages to take over Ukraine, then after 5-10 years it will be Europe… and then USA… say no to fear, sometime one needs to fight!

    3. @bentos11 The Ukrainian forces and Ukrainian people have the manpower, the skills, and will. They have enormous motivation and tenacity to fight this fight – something the Russian soliders do not – they don’t even want to be there. What Ukrainian fighters are predominantly lacking, is the armament, equipment and supplies. That is something their neighbors and countries all across the world are working their a$$es off to help them out with. Doing that, providing them the tools and mesns they need to succeed, is something that does not require more countries going to war.

      As their President said: _”I need ammunition, not a ride.”_

    4. @Russell Thorburn There already is a no-fly zone for _all_ Russian planes, even including private planes, basically over all of Europe, sans Belarus and Ukraine.

    5. @HopeFounding rule in NATO is that NATO “does not import conflicts”. By this it means, a country cannot have ongoing territorial conflicts when joining NATO, as Ukraine has had since 2014 because of the Russian annexation of Crimea, and later adding the separatist conflict in Donbass. If a country with an ongoing territorial conflict joined NATO, that would in theory, immediately trigger Article 5, committing all NATO members to defend that member and partake in that conflict.

      NATO is a _defense_ alliance. It will be there if a member is attacked, but its primary function is to _prevent_ conflicts in the first place, through that unified strength. Hypothetically, admitting Ukraine into NATO today, would in efffect immediately make 30 countries, NA and almost every country in Europe, at war with Russia (and Belarus). Pretty much instant WW3. With nukes.

    1. Ukrainians are fighting for all of us against a dictator. And they risk everything. And they do it even though they are hopelessly inferior militarily. We will also be able to bear a few disadvantages if we can support them with it.

    2. If you dont know from historys mistakes you cant move in a healthy future.
      Ukraine in past was behind Nazis power to fight Russians.
      Now you are waiting for USA power to help you.
      You have a minister that is a pappet and you will see in near future he will be a victim of fraud.
      You are feeling enthusiastic because humanity supports you,but only with words.
      None will risk a 3d WW for Ukraine.
      All big powers at the end will get what they want,and inocent people will get nothing.
      You will see in near future,Ukraine people will be worst than the past….

    4. @Dipole Dipole No, do not blame my white friends, most of them are normal and good people! When they said human lives, they mean the riches and the powerful people.

  10. This is such a very dangerous time. The threat of nuclear war has never been as imminent as it is right now. We need to help the Ukrainian people, but doing so by sending troops would almost certainly end in a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. If that happens, we’re all toast.

  11. Amazing from these guys. You don’t often get to see the good these days. Makes me proud to be part of this world, that there are people standing up to evil no matter the cost.

  12. One country you forgot when you were talking about the big changes in foreign diplomacy is: Sweden, for the first time since 1939 they are sending weapons into a war zone.

    1. C’mon man, it’s Joe Biden. He’s willing to surrender all of Ukraine to Russia if Russia puts Hunter on a board on one of their gas companies for some change.

    2. @Rodney Boehner And the earth is flat, right?
      You conspiracy theorists are really funny. What a bunch of pests.
