  1. You can’t ever underestimate someone who is fighting for their love, their land, homes and freedoms. Stay Strong Ukraine

    1. @Oskar not to mention Russia side shot down flight 17 of 300+ innocent civilians, among other war crimes

    2. While being the only country or group of 5 eyes led countries that have used nuclear weapon against Japan. Chemical weapons during Korean & Vietnam war. And depleted uranium in the Iraq war. In a three-week period of conflict in Iraq during 2003, it was estimated that between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes of depleted uranium munitions were used. More than 300,000 DU rounds were fired during the 2003 war, the vast majority by US troops.

    1. Exactly. Ukraine has “biological ‘research’ facilities”. Multiple of them. Aided by the US and NATO. Confirmed by the US government. Watched a Russel brand video on it. Gov. Official during Congressional hearing with Marco Rubio said they were worried about the ‘research’ getting into Russian hands. Sounds to me like the Ukrainians themselves might use Chemical weapons and the West try to pin it on the East, regardless of the origins being Ukrainian military or Russian military. The monolithic nature of the western media’s coverage of this war is sending red flags. We’re being fed propaganda, the only problem is both sides have their own propaganda machines spinning. Can’t trust any information these days.

  2. You guys keep talking about it like it’s normal! What has happened to humanity! It affects all of us open your eyes

    1. @Heartless Bastard I think maybe I have miscommunicated a bit. In responding to the original poster I was trying to say that war IS the norm and things in Ukraine at the moment, as bad as they may be, are fairly unremarkable in comparison to nearly all of the 20th century. I’m not sure I can think of a decade in which there wasn’t a substantial conflict happening. I have a basic understanding Yemen in as much as it’s being turned into a killing field as the US funds proxies to fight against Iranian backed militants.

    2. @Guy My bad; I apologize. Some people are positively amazing at multi-tasking, but I don’t appear to one of them.
      I concur with your assessment; and yes, this is the short version of Yemen. Pretty ugly stuff.

    1. the only chemicals use in recent history are the ones Putin used on women and children in Aleppo

    1. they got to brainwash brainwash brainwash to make sure everyone will know Who dun it BEFORE anybody dun it ! LOL ; scumbags ; you know who will be responsible if it happens ; US .

    2. The “Fauch” will make sure his biolabs release “chemicals” just like he did with the “coof”. Where is the leprechaun by the way..?

    1. THEY say a lot of things. It might be good to notice what THEY SAY, but don’t give belief to their words. They can hijack our intentional manifestation powers by influencing how we think. Think for yourselves, and seek out perspectives from common folk in the regions these networks capitalize upon, by painting their narratives. USA Today hungers for human suffering and fear narratives. Gets weak minded people to easily follow which ultimately just makes all of society more sick and twisted. No truth here. Just painting narratives. Tulsi Gabbard explained to us just last night about the Biolabs the US has been funding in Ukraine. They can’t lie about it, and if USA Today wants a future audience, they better start reporting on actual news, not work against peace and compromise.

    2. Russia “could” be preparing for chemical warfare?? What a stupid story!! Nothing like 24 hour scare tactics now that covid isn’t the scary story of the minute! Russia is probably prepared for every scenario, unlike dementia Joe Biden and his unpreparedness for anything!! Dementia Joe should prepare US for out-of-control price increases since he shut down OUR oil industry, opened our southern border and invited millions of illegals here with instant welfare on OUR dime, he destroyed our economy and is still giving our money to other countries! He is a complete failure and try’s to go toe to toe with Putin?? Maybe dementia Joe Biden will fly his sidekick, airhead Kamala Harris, to Moscow with a sternly worded letter?? Or a pallet of cash if he pinky promises to play nice? ?

  3. On YouTube 99.99% of my comments has become a treasure chest. IT is being hidden Am even having hard time finding IT. 😂

  4. Is it Russia that will use chemical warfare or Ukraine? Since ya know, the US was collaborating on bio weapons in Ukrainian research facilities.

    1. @Silver Forest congrats on buying into the anti-russian propaganda. Look up the 2013 Smith-Mundt Moderation Act. Your government lies to you.

    2. @HappyBeeHoney in response? I didn’t suggest that Ukraine would use them. I suggested that it would be Russia who would be most likely to use chemical weapons.

    3. The same people that brought us the “coof” will bring us war. Btw…WHERE’S “THE FAUCH”…Hmmm…he’s “missing in action” ??? NOT…

  5. International Peacekeeping Center is where foreign mercenaries interested in helping the Azov Battalion, and arms enter from Poland. Of course they hit it. Propaganda. Manipulation.

    1. Hey…they (USA Today) recently conducted a p doh feel ya normalization campaign, so there you have it.

  6. No worries. The free world will “Condemn” it. Oh, and ban Russian Tea Rooms or something equally punishing.

    1. It’s the leftists who are trying to get Americans behind yet another war that are feeding US this garbage daily!! Russia “could” be preparing for chemical warfare?? What a stupid story!! Nothing like 24 hour scare tactics now that covid isn’t the scary story of the minute! Russia is probably prepared for every scenario, unlike dementia Joe Biden and his unpreparedness for anything!! Dementia Joe should prepare US for out-of-control price increases since he shut down OUR oil industry, opened our southern border and invited millions of illegals here with instant welfare on OUR dime, he destroyed our economy and is still giving our money to other countries!

Or a pallet of cash if he pinky promises to play nice? ?

  7. Show actual pictures of the bombings and the real pictures of the people being taken to the hospital, not the training exercise, that they are doing…

  8. Sounds an awful lot like that false flag operation in Syria that we tried to blame on Bashar al Assad.
