Anti-Putin Russians based in Ukraine allegedly stage incursion into Russia
A Russian visits Switzerland. In Bern he asks, “Hey, what’s that building over there?”. A local answers, “That’s our naval department”. The Russian laughs, “Really? What the hell do you need a naval department for? You people are funny”. Piqued, the Swiss man replies, “Well,OK, but you also still have a justice department in Moscow, don’t you?”
@Putilin Vladimir. You’re as funny as a grave yard.
@Declan Brennan I’m American an we only get the illusion of being able to vote people out of office anymore. I envy the freedom that still exists in the world. I hope your country is able to protect it better than ours did.
😂👌
@Putilin Vladimir
Like country, like” justice ” 😂💩
Ahh the good old impartial Swiss. They’d jump in bed with any lunatic as long as there is some monetary gain for them.
NATO membership is entirely voluntary. Too many people act as though a bunch of countries on Russia’s doorstep joined NATO because of so-called “Yankee Imperialism”. Those countries actually joined NATO because they have lots of prior experience with Russia and wanted to keep the Russians on the other side of the border.
@Unknown8 I don’t get how the US can promise anything like that. And who then promised it….?! The President? But you know that the President has no power to grant NATO membership!?
Besides all other NATO nation—in a democratic fashion through their governmental or parliamentary system—having to agree, the US Senate has to vote on the subject. And a vote can only be made after an application has been made by Ukraine. And for the Senate to vote to promise something would simply be ridiculous.
So did someone ask all the American Senators (and the eventual soon to be Senators) to find out if an at least 60% majority (due to the filibuster) of them promise that they would let Ukraine join? Perhaps RT made such interviews to inform the Russian public if “the US” (=a Senate majority) promises Ukrainian membership?!
Nah… obviously not! You’re likely just too accustomed with a totalitarian Russian system where whatever Putin promises, Russia promises. And therefore believe that’s how it works in other nations too.
It was in fact rather the opposite, voices from US politicians expressed that they were reluctant to such an idea. And political governmental leaders in some other NATO nations have before the war clearly expressed that their nations would not agree to Ukraine becoming a member.
Russia itself managed to change this. It seams like many who earlier were negative has changed opinion and become more positive to Ukraine joining after the war has ended.
@Michelle Rainer No, but they verbally said they wanted to join
Good to know that NATO means “Yankee Imperialism”. But should the “Yankee Imperialism” take advantage of that?
@Allan Gibson Thanks for the laugh…..
Imagine having these people who have destroyed Ukraine in charge of anything, yet that is what they want.
@kao hillfolks The Americans didn’t do to Iraq what Russia is doing to Ukraine though. And where was your fake outrage, comrade, when Saddam Insane slaughtered 187,000 Kurds, 250,000 Iraqis, 1-2 million when he illegally invaded Iran to steal their oil, 75,000 when he illegally invaded Kuwait to steal their oil too, hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslims, I could go on & on & on… Shouldn’t you be on the frontline for your beloved RuZZia?
@kao hillfolks WTF are you basing your comparison on, are you Russian? Troll farm BS !!
@Ian Home no North Korea did not accept to be part of the Rotschild world banking system and so USA made a war
@L P News flash Rothschild’s don’t own the banking system 😂😂😂 it’s just a joke. Try to get a life. The Rothschild’s bank for example, is insignificant, only about 10 billion compared with the total banking system which is worth over 500 trillion. Try to get some perspective.
Permanent world wide sanctions on the entire Russian leadership for life.
The Ukraines are hard core tough, people an inspiration to the rest of the world. Never give up and that is what Russian is going to confront the moment it decides to take on the western world and we all pray this will come very soon .
Yes we do. Russia’s antagonism in the world needs correcting, and now that Russia is weak from their disastrous invasion of Ukraine it would make that job all that much easier.
@Johann Johann Agreed, other countries that are under Russia’s foot should start stbbing back at that foot!
Stopping russia is crucial for mainta8ning world peace
Let me guess, you have zero military-age family members. War is NEVER something to wish for. Only a fool wishes for death and destruction. What exactly would be the point??? War is BAD for all concerned. Go to a veteran’s hospital or rehab and ask OUR GUYS WHO HAVE NO LEGS what the true cost is.
That is so true. But if everyone here would write Give them more long range artillery, air defense, more Himars, it’d be a lot more effective than us just supporting these heroic people. They don’t have enough weapons. Lend lease hasn’t even started yet.
Huge respect to the resilient Ukrainian…
The strength & will of patriotic Ukrainians fighting to defend their beloved motherland will never be defeated..
Slava Ukraini..
Stay strong Ukraine.
@To Me Looks like your sources are worse than crap!
@To Me “western countries forces.”
You mean the same people who spent 20 years been spanked by Taliban Goat Herders armed with little more than rusted AK47s and were decisively defeated Saigon style?
Do you really believe this bunch on military uniforms would add anything other targets for the Russians?
Are you a comedian as well?
@Artemis “you are a paid responder.”
Would very much like if that was the case…
But I charge nothing to say the truth!
And I am from the opposite side of the planet…

Wellcome to reality!
@AcidBot66 well, if you got actual data from actual source with which to prove me wrong, then do it instead of empty rethorics. Otherwise, the side that is like fletearthers that yet to wake up to the reality would be rather that one which is being brainwashed that there isn’t even any war going on and are disallowed to even use that term in connection to the reality in Ukraine.
The reality being that the mad ruler of Russia plunged its motherland into a catastrophe where the Orthodox Slavic folks are bitterly killing each others, destruction and the economy loss, even the prospects of a nuclear catastrophe. All that for a zero benefit of the ordinary fellow Russians. Talk “Flatearthers” will you…
I hope/wish the best for Ukraine you are strong and resilient people fighting the good fight.

Putin not long ago: “We only strike military targets! We’re not barbarians!!”
Yeah, sure…
@Hasan Pasha yeah if you’re a f00king terrorist like Putin
@Faux Que when you are invaded by another country that’s what you call defending one’s self! targeting women and children who are unarmed is a cowards way of fighting!
@Faux Que civilian infrastructure is always off limits. Its a war crime to target it no matter what.
@Faux Que lame excuses, very lame and it makes no difference any way, Russia is the coward big country that invaded Ukraine. There is no way Russia has any legit target in a country they decided to attack.
Ukraine shoots at bridges, warehouses, command centers, warships.
Russia shoots civilian targets including children’s playgrounds, schools, hospitals etc.
It looks like the laughable so-called 2nd army of the world is no match for the Ukrainian army, why else these coward civilian attacks.
@Suzette Williams their Soviet country you mean
The General talks alot of sense.The footage of untrained Russ.soldiers not able to act in a war-zone exemplifies their panic & disarray.
@Ndifreke Otu well we can look at Russian territorial gains and see that there is a net loss of territory.
@Ndifreke Otu can you find me evidence of trained Russian army beside some fluff promo videos on red square ?
The so-called video of undisciplined Russian soldiers in the war zone is actually incorrect. Confirmation is provided by the visible circle or “O” on the military vehicle, which identifies vehicles from Belarus – some interpretations suggest that these are Belarusian vehicles, but this is not confirmed.
@K the O represents Russian troops that came from Belarus. The O is definitely Russian as Belarusian troops have not officially entered the conflict. This video is confirmed to be Russian troops.
They are still killing yours when they are not surrendering.
With all the Ukrainian civilians are going through, it’s amazing that the 2 ladies at the beginning of the video are laughing and smiling while waiting for water. ” Maybe an hour or two or maybe no water at all” but they are still smiling. Strong and loyal people. Love it
@Foday Putin’s paranoia does not warrant the current situation. He overreacted now he realizes too late he fucked up. But he does not know how to get out without looking like he FAILED!!!
@ukmanthailand I simply did not understand where you were coming from. But it frankly sounds dumb to me. Russia’s currency has nearly lost all value. They have nearly been all but cut out from the global market place with the exception of a few critical industries. If that is the government of Israel’s ” excuse ” in this matter. Then frankly they are backing a lame horse that is also sick. Which will probably drop dead before it reaches the finish line.
@Steven Green hmm I wonder why ???
And Putin’s friends (denied) in the GOP will probably take power next week because “Boo-Hoo, Biden has put my gas up 20 cents” Disgusting.
All Ukrainian people are so brave.stay strong,stay safe this evil will be defeated ❤💪🙏🇺🇦

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. .

Your pushing your content??
Dude get a life.
@Shadow thank you once again for reading humble poem. I have terrific life very Greta buying in what I do and it’s very sad you find joy and what you do. Writing composition on the Ukrainian people’s pipe for the freedom and their lives and posting on relative videos seemed to it listed for happiness thousands and thousands actually. But there are those that you were consumed of hate and like dum dum 45 character terribly flawed. So happy you enjoyed the poem though perhaps you would like to go to my humble driver YouTube channel and listen to the songs you made me even more thrilled. Enjoy your hate because I have a feeling that’s the only thing that brings you happiness
Pray for the UKRAINIAN people and also for the fallen regardless on what side, The UKRAINIAN PEOPLE are so beautiful,they have the Souls of Heroes, their Courage is unmatched

God be with NATO, the US, and the brave and courageous Ukrainian freedom fighters.
We all should learn from the brave ukrainians how they’ve come together to defend their country , how they come together to defend each other . And are patient with each other. Glory to Ukraine
Glory to Volodimir Cocaine.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
It’s hard to live without electricity in 21st century but we do it together by whole country and it reduces the pain.
I live in Kharkiv city which sustained a lot of destructions during the invasion but due to our army and the help of the US and EU now the whole region is cleaned from russians and I’m starting to forget how russian artillery sounds….
I can only say thank you! Slava Ukrajna
Yeah maybe democrats should stop demonizing half of America and getting us into wars and high gas prices and totalitarian edicts.
JO ERHAHL, let’s defend US borders from illegal immigrants first. Think about USA, not about other countries. ((—
In my lifetime anyway, the people of Ukraine are the tough as nails people that we should all aspire to be. The way they have conducted themselves; I can only hope we’d do the same in their situation, and I hope we’d receive the same support
Liquidate and donate. Don’t wait for Brandon
That’s what makes Ukraine so special. You mentioned that you also hope that your country would receive support from the world’s law abiding countries I would also hope for that same support should a similar situation occur in my country, the U.S.A. the difference is the United States is much more capable at defending itself with the weapons we have on hand. Should we need more weapons we have the resources, finances, industrial might, and the people to make that happen….. Within a matter of hours. Ukraine may not be as fortunate as the US when it comes to resources and industrial night, but they have something most countries do not have. Ukrainian people are some of the most bravest people if not the bravest in the world. Ukrainians are warriors and I wouldn’t want to tangle with any of them not on my best day. I root for them everyday and hope they are always doing well. I love these people, I respect and admire these people and if I can be like any other people it would be Ukrainian
I love you, Ukrainians!
Brave, resilient, and with a sense of humor
Your high spirits can never be defeated by the soulless
@Randy Watson No.
@Inna Carboni but they used to be?
@Randy Watson One of their founders 8 years ago did advocate a neo-Nazi ideology, but hasn’t had anything to do with Azov for 8 years. Azov was created as a volunteer militia after Russian invasion in 2014, but now it’s just a battalion in the regular army. They are apolitical and their only ideology is defending Ukraine from Russia.
@Inna Carboni aww. Must have been all those Nazi symbols Azof uses that got my mind thinking wrongly
They’re about done homie.
I love these people! Amazing. Americans respect and support you Ukrain
very brave citizens of kyiv ,,, seems like they have lots of blessings ,,, smiling even under attack ,,, we all pray for u guys ,,,
Good to see the people still being able to smile and laugh in a time that they are in much love ukraine 🇺🇦 from canada 🇨🇦
The Ukrainian people are amazing. My heart goes out to them.
