Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
But Trump still thinks Putin is a genius…he’ll always have that.
@Intercat I made no mention of that disgusting act enjoyed by Potato Joe and Slick Willie. However if there isn’t truth to what I say there’s always civil court to make claim of integral damages.

@Liz Pedano My father, serving in the British army, experienced that in the Netherlands as it was liberated. I still have a miniature pair of wooden clogs he was handed by a grateful Dutch family.
@trisha wilson That’s a real sweet memento to have.im sure you cherish it.
My mother was born just before start of WW2 and all her early memories are of sing songs in bomb shelters and playing with gas masks and how much of a treat it was to have more than 1 egg.
She just watched during the pandemic as these fools melted down at the “horror” of kids wearing masks in school n them going on about “long term effects” .
My mother just shook her head n laughed at how privileged some people feel in life to be triggered over simple things like that.
The true horror n lessons we should learn from WW2 seem to have been easily forgotten by many nowadays sadly.
Five munce and the Russian did not contact much new Land.
So glad to see Ukraine rallying with unprecedented tenacity, great courage and perseverance! I pray this continues and that Ukraine continues to receive help from the USA. 🙏🏽

HI GUYS
western allies thank you so much for a way to save lives of innocent and defending our motherland from Vladolf Putler’s slavery. For the right to protect freedom and democracy values.
Glory to the heroes of Azovstal! Glory to Ukraine! Support Ukraine with United24 (YouTube).
This is why troop morale is so important, if you don’t believe in what you’re fighting for, you’ve already lost. The Ukrainians are fighting for their lives, their very existence as a sovereign nation. A significant number of Russians don’t want this, these are their cousins, brothers, sisters.
@Aaron Gerdts have you not heard of the other half of that history?
you love the russian propagandist version – why not comment on it all?
One can only hope the bravery and determination of the Ukrainian people will be an inspiration to the Russian people and we will see a new Russian Revolution with the establishment of a Constitution that embraces the ideals of freedom, democracy, and human rights for all the people of Eastern Europe.
@Aaron Gerdts No. Did you make them up?
Russian soldiers doing the right thing, running away is better, this war is not worthy to fight and die. I applause for the Russian soldiers make the right decision not to fight.
@Molotov Ribbentrop it’s okay. Nobody is applauding Putin
@Mr. Turn Up The Party They will shortly , Russia lost week 3 of the invasion , Ukraine will keep pushing into Russia proper , they have zero to lose , USA will never stop sending weapons, likely they will start building US military bases in Ukraine and sanctions will never be lifted even if putler died today, so there is zero deterrent from Russia
@The Imperfect Perfectionist no but thats actually a good thing because the ukrainians can learn about the advantages and disadvantages of russian armored vehicles better.
Thank you to our allies and the Ukrainian people for defending democracy.
@JB – Because it’s their own. Why the hell would they have Russia’s inferior, corrupt system, if they have their own?
Besides, as far as I know, they are actually TRYING to become democratic, unlike russia.
I freaking love the Ukrainine People Such a strong people 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
One can only hope the bravery and determination of the Ukrainian people will be an inspiration to the Russian people and we will see a new Russian Revolution with the establishment of a Constitution that embraces the ideals of freedom, democracy, and human rights for all the people of Eastern Europe.
@SLAVA Romanenko there’s no such entity as the Lugansk Republic.
There’s Ukraine and Russia. Choose your loyalty.
Eisenhower once said that, paraphrasing, ‘democracy creates the most formable fighting machine that can be devised’. Ukraine is showing that to be true, and anti-democratic Republicans should take note of it.
@Briand Beaudin No party can force their will on someone, there are people who make decisions for themselves and vote for them hence, it is democracy whether you like it or not.
@Paul Gibbon How is this agenda worse than what the current administration is doing? I think we need to get used to more violent rhetoric on all sides. In the end, people have a choice and if they choose to vote for Trumplican as you put it, it is still a democracy because the decision to vote came from people with free will.
@Tom Downing Yeah, no they’re not. Not even faintly. You should unplug from Faux News. And you do indeed have the choice. If you want the next generation to have the choice, vote blue. Don’t say that It Can’t Happen Here, when it’s happening here right this minute.
@Paul Gibbon I think you missed the point or I did. I thought this is about democracy not being unique to a party. In my opinion and to really give the next generation a REAL choice, shut down governments worldwide and replace them with better leaders, without an agenda living from election to election. I am just a simple person with an opinion.
God Bless Ukraine’s Success 🙏❤️🙏
The Ukrainian people have heart, passion and dedication. They love their country and they aren’t going to continue to sit by and just defend. They have decided to take this to the russians and my prayers for Ukrainian Victory are growing daily. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

They have our tax dollars too
And this is exactly why sending in troops to fight a war FOR people didn’t work in vietnam or Afghanistan. The people need to want to fight. If you have to send them troops to fight for them…..you’ve already lost.
The world has mourned Ukraine’s losses and we have celebrated Ukraine’s victories like the current successful counter offensive in the Kharkiv region. It is so exciting to see the Russian invaders on the retreat in Ukraine, and to know that more and more Russian officials are now beginning to stand up against Putin. Vladimir Putin and the world understand that the ice is cracking in the Kremlin, which will lead to Putin’s removal from power and the Russians from Ukraine. The world looks forward to cheering with the people of Ukraine when they are free and living in peace once again. God Bless the beautiful, brave and heroic people of Ukraine. 🙏❤🇺🇦
So this is where the CNN watchers congregate. I thought it consisted only of elderlies lol. Apparently they can use the internet.
@Aachoo Crony well you are here so i guess they can use the internet
“The world looks forward to cheering with the people of Ukraine when they are free and living in peace once again”
Peace may reign but the anger and hatred towards Russia fomented by this invasion will not go away for decades.
Ukraine will become the most militarised eastern European state by a long shot by the time we hit 2050, and probably the most militarised European state by 2100.
@Mountain Nomad VFX Your sentences git incremently more hilarious. You are on Mars or what? Come back!
I believe that Ukraine has more than earned an invitation to join NATO! Am I the only one who feels the same way??🤔 A disabled US Army Veteran
@Александр МусатовSlavery in Russian continued until the 1920s and beyond. The rural people are so poor even today they are no better than Kremlin slaves. Nuclear bombs – why oes Russia have them if they are against them. The bombs dropped on Japan saved 20 million lives.
@Ghoulza n
No. Extending an invitation is not the same as acceptance…😃
A Tribute to Ukraine
The Fight
Where were you
when the walls came crumbling down.
Fearing for our lives
In our home towns.
Where children once played
Laughter was everywhere
We now find graves
Seems like only…we care.
But now,
We’re standing side by side
Defending arm in arm
Praying for our lives.
And now,
We’re standing toe to toe
Fighting hand to hand
Dying for our nation’s soul.
Instrumental 🎶
If we lose.
If this was our last fight.
I promise you
We didn’t run and hide.
Only one way to live
Head high and full of pride
What we would give
Our blood and tears we cried.
But now,
We’re standing side by side
Defending arm in arm
Praying for our lives.
And now,
We’re standing toe to toe
Fighting hand to hand
Dying for our nation’s soul.
Instrumental 🎶
A burst of lightning
coming from the morning sky
confuses all
We will not run and hide.
But now,
We’re standing side by side
Defending arm in arm
Praying for our lives.
And now,
We’re standing toe to toe
Fighting hand to hand
Dying for our nation’s…..
And then,
There’s one thing that remains.
Fight until the death
Fight for our Ukraine.
But now,
Our prayers were not met
By those who stood by
By those who would forget. .

Praying everyday for Ukrainian victory, may God Bless these brave people, all of those who are helping in ways large and small and for any mislead russian soldiers. ✝️🙏☮️
Yes but this old General they wheel on just talking
not when Almighty is against them. It is the BEAR (spiritual Maday) that brings down Babylon
2:33 I love how she says “Donetsk”. She really did speak with people there. Good ear. And balls of steel for being there, near what sounded like a very close call for getting shelled! I’ve got mad respect for wartime correspondents. An accurate account of what’s going on is extremely important instead of falling prey to soviet propaganda. Maybe this way people in russia will begin to see and (hopefully) do something about it. Change has to come from within.
@Andrea Madden What? I’m reporting you for spam. And *_”Fuk what you saying”_* is considered harassment, but I can only report you once.
Love respect and support to the brave Ukranian people from the whole freedom-loving world 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Those Ukraine soldiers are wearing very good uniforms and essential associated equipment – more NATO like than anything the Russians can field. Add in the modern western vehicles, NATO intel and heavy artillery and Russian forces are outmatched big time. This will really impact moral on both sides. Certainly not a turning point but it is an extreme example of how good Ukraine’s army can be when properly supported. This shows that just heavy equipment does not win battles alone but well equipped, highly motivated troops will always decide the outcome.
This is just incredible! What a nation of true patriots!
