    1. @James Marshall No, just all the countries still living in the 15th century. Countries that rely on the U.S. to survive. If those who cry ClImAtE ChANgE really did care, they should be more interested in holding those actually accountable like China, just about All of Africa and the Middle East.

    2. @Lahiru Umesh Lokuliyana No, I’m an American 🇺🇸 and most Americans are not watching the real news, they are watching the Kardashians fight with Kanye West. all the real War mongers are on Capitol Hill and their leader is Nancy Pelosi. The January 6 🇺🇸

    1. @Belly Dancer Em you texted that Putin and China would be more aggressive if Trump was in office and everybody that has half a brain knows that’s not true because Trump was in office and they didn’t do that crap until Biden got in office so there’s your proof and your super ignorant boom

  1. My prayers are with all the Ukrainian people and all the people around the world,because we do not need a World War 3.

    1. @Herb Superb trump is Putin’s apprentice. Putin’s plan was to bully countries that used to be part of USSR one after the other. He taught that his puppet will win a second term and he didn’t. Now he is trying to archive his ultimate goal and it is not working out. That is why he met the Chinese president to be on his side because the Chinese president was to take over Taiwan. It is simple, if Putin attacks Ukraine and the west confronts him and if China openly backs Russia then it will lead to world war 3. All depends upon China’s role. It is bad time for the Oppressed. America always stands with the oppressed until Trump became president. That was the reason why Trump wanted us out of neto because his master Putin wanted that.
      At the end of all this the the oppressed will be free. Every thing happening now is Devine.

    2. U.S. and U.S. corporate news are desperate to trigger war. Once a narrative for the invasion is created – making it as if the invasion is already a Reality – it will almost certainly will become Reality! You talkers will cause the invasion!
      “French President Emmanuel Macron is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow today in hopes of de-escalating tensions over Ukraine. Macron will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Tuesday. This comes as the Biden administration continues to warn of a possible attack on Ukraine by Russian forces and as U.S. officials reportedly said over the weekend Russia now has 70% of the necessary combat forces in place to invade. Following the comments from Washington, Ukraine’s foreign minister told Ukrainian citizens, “Do not believe the apocalyptic predictions.” The U.S. has also ramped up its arms transfer to Ukraine and sent troops to NATO allies in Eastern Europe and Germany in recent days.”

    3. @Nicolas de la Forge I really hope Putin and the French President can come up with a peaceful solution , because we do not need Putin to start world war 3 for goodness sake.

    1. @Unified Vision why don’t you nuts go live in Russia and talk against the government and see what happens until then donald trump is a coward traitor racist maggot👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻👊

    2. @Movie Theater No … Putin is too smart to want war ..What he wants is a neutral Ukraine…. A war with Ukraine would be like a war with Afghanistan or Georgia. It would hurt an already weak Russia. Ukraine can very well be a border country between EU and Russia and not a threat to Russia. It serves no purpose to war with Russia. Only Cheney types with Hallaburton big military suppliers would advantage. europe is not where Americas focus should be .. It is of the past .. Its the East .. China and Iran where our focus should be. Europe needs to deal with Putin by isolating his power and NOT buying gas and oil to a dictator. This is a distraction from real issues.

    3. @gacj2010 smart or dum putin is a monster no doubt and I want you to stay in your home and don’t move til I tell you is how you sound must be russian trolling👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻👊

  3. The whole situation is supremely tense I’m feeling like they’re going to have a war because it’s what they were itching for on both sides🤔

    1. both sides, nonsense! Not even the russian people. It s just Putin and his regime! They do not like a democratic, independend and prosperous Ukrania in the west.

    2. @christoph paessler True but More so … If Canada and Mexico had a treaty with China do you think US would be happy with border countries treatied up with advisaries ? I doubt it . The solution is to have a free Ukraine .. a neutral Ukraine that can slowly move in a western way. Europe is NOT where our focus needs to be. This is a distraction from real concerns of China and the East and maybe China and Russia are in on this distraction. Only NEOCONS in US want war for big business.

    3. @Short Payne Yes … Think who is the only one sayng WAR is about to happen in days…Only Bidens people .. no others

    1. @Morris Phillips I try very hard to be an honest man! And I’m going to have to agree with you on your post. In all fairness almost without exception of the countries where they have the fascist type thing it is white people what can I say dude I think you got a valid point there!

    2. 100%…U.S. and U.S. corporate news are desperate to trigger war. Once a narrative for the invasion is created – making it as if the invasion is already a Reality – it will almost certainly will become Reality! You talkers will cause the invasion!

    3. @Mr Kentucky Redneck My brother, you best believe that black people are praying and voting for democracy, you can understand why.

    4. @Nicolas de la Forge Sir, it’s nothing personal or ideological or philosophical, it’s just business. Check out general Smedley Butler’s “war is a racket “.

    5. @Lodge Forte where’s the FBI? Peter Navarro’s comments were more than enough for an arrest. They called their coup attempt ” the green bay sweep “.

    1. @Buckit Biden already has a term limit. His last day in the White House will be January 20th 2029.

    2. @GreatWhiteBuckwheat 2024 is all Trump. Keep dreaming. Mail in ballot cheating won’t even save you this time.

  5. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world

    Enough talk., enough bullying weaker nations for ages. Let’s fight, let’s fight like a man!!!

    1. @Tom Haggard which citizens oh you mean those in power…ya because they try so hard to feed the poor and not line their pockets

    2. @Jon Anderson read comment above by Nanker Phledge. We have had very moral governance in our history. The New Deal by FDR and the post ww2 Era with Ike. Trouble is today our people know nothing of our history..they vote against their own interests squandering their power on social issues…you get the government you deserve. Alas…you end up with a cinics mind set like yours.

    4. @Nanker Phelge I didn’t imply he was hippie.. he absolutely was a socialist though. Like Bernie Sanders but worse.

    1. @metfreak100 You hypocrite, so what? Russia should not use get territory the way she wants? NATO keeps expanding towards Russia, Poland go US nuclear weapons, you don’t see that yet you talk about Russia having bla bla bla weapons. Thé US is responsible for all wars on earth. Hypocrites

    2. @metfreak100 their troops are in Russia their own country. America is creating this I’m in Europe America has invaded how many countries please stop your nonsense…
      This is not Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan Russia will give you so much loses its insane an not only in Europe I believe….

    3. @D M People from both countries die while the Federal Reserve gets rich by financing both sides. It is the same agenda over and over again.

  7. 5:30 Odd, that a person with ears as large as Rubio’s is unable to hear or comprehend such a simple question and provide a direct answer.

  8. The CIA is pretty good at overthrowing governments or government leaders. Italy 1953, Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954, Congo 1960, Dominican Republic 1961, South Vietnam 1963, Brazil 1964,, Chile 1973, Then there’s the Contras.

    1. Tôi là người Việt Nam đã được nếm trải những điều tồi tệ từ triền tranh mỹ gây cho Việt Nam đến bây giờ với gọi là tàm tạm hồi phục .nên vì vậy đừng chiến tranh

  9. Yes, it is painful to watch !! Day after day after day !! Throw them in JAIL ALREADY. !! The people can’t even move on with the country in a HELLA UPROAR !! what is taking so long..!?

  10. Difficult times always present a natural temptation for the spiritually unseeing and the mentally immature ones and strongly provoke in them an irresistible need to seek and identify a provisional enemy.
    To identify the one who by all means must be marked as the culprit for the ongoing troubles and discomfort they have come to experience.
    Generally, the identification of enemies by such miserable people is based on extremely primitively biased thinking.
    Under such circumstances the presence of even a single hint often seems completely sufficient to precisely identify the very enemy.
    All this has taken place in antiquity as it has in the Middle Ages and so it does today in what is considered an age of enlightenment

  11. Mitch McConnel said something on the senate floor that was disturbing. He said that Germany has allowed their military to “atrophy.” When I was in France during the time of the fall of the Berlin wall I knew this old guy that said “Two Germany’s are good but three are better.” He was against the reunification of east and west Germany due to their warlike history. So it’s a good thing that Germany’s military is atrophied.

  12. Well, lil’ Marco Rubio hit the nail on the head. For those of you pondering the question as to why it took so long for Pence to come out and say what he said, here’s the answer; it’s because the thugs are scared shitless of the potential for Kamala Harris to pick the next president.
