😂 you are too funny
@JOSEPH STOLEN-ELECTION Not the west, It was Zelensky who said it.
@reticulan5 that’s probably one of the better ones I’ve seen these past few weeks to describe the minuscule Muscovite.
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6|
Love it!!!😂😂😂
Long live Ukraine.
@mpalfadel2008 now sod off, i can’t be bothered.
@ Ok well your not arguing that the Russian troops invading, raping, pillaging, and committing genocide in Ukraine are innocent. Ukraine didn’t start this war after all
If your concerned about the innocents, support Ukraine and commit to doing what you can to ensure their victory
. i did not know until now that these personal argument’s were public. Very interesting. Please let me know how many of my return comments to mpalf are visible to you. This is the first time someone has appeared in a back and forth comment stream. I would change nothing knowing this.
@Thea 7790 interesting word salad
Mostly a non-sequitur to the topic we were discussing
Are you complaining because your Russian n have no rights?
@mpalfadel2008 like US military done to middle east and Vietnam invading, ra00ing, pillaging, and committing genocide local innocent people?. I give no sh00 about Neo Nazi Ukraine or Russia, and NO, Ukraine started war in 2014 and murdered thousands of their own in the east, Ukro Nazis were burning their own people alive in Odessa. I know Ukraine is trendy as a gender choses, but no one knew about Ukraine till last year, neither my dollar should go to their or any country beside my own, the US.
Putins “special military operation” with a long “special parade” were they did not try to take Kiev,they was just out on a field trip and got lost..
My gratitude , Thank you : )
Treaty with Russia? Like the one where Russia guaranteed the territorial integrity of Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons?
@amri6422 “Ukraine has biological research facilities according to US Under Secretary Victoria Nuland.
@JOSEPH STOLEN-ELECTION The US moved strategic weapons into Ukraine regardless. Not nukes but enough to piss off the Russians. Here we are today!
@Lawrence Harris There’s merit in your statement! The US plays with these types of countries so they can have a ‘nice proxy war’. Makes billions of Dollars and leaves the countries involved totally destroyed! US did put missiles in Ukraine and the Russians did invade Ukraine–that’s where we are now! Devastating losses on both sides! Zelensky is a puppet and Putin is a tyrant! !
@JOSEPH STOLEN-ELECTION their the ones who made them for ruZZia get your facts right there was a treaty ruZZia signed saying if they handed over the nukes ruZZia wouldn’t invade but I guess the truth doesn’t follow the narrative your trying to push😂😂😂
@Lawrence Harris you get of on telling lies and misinformation hope your getting a kick back from POOtin 😂😂😂
If the Russians can reach Kiev with missiles/jets, why are the Ukranians having their hands tied behind their backs and not being given something to make Putin and his friends in Moscow have sleepless nights?
No ones suggesting the jets should be used to attack Russian civilions just military!
They should, they should be allowed to hit Russia’s infrastructures, take the power and lights out of Moscow for a month then I promise you, people will be out on streets asking for the execution of Putler.
The risk of nuclear war is too great. Ukraine can take back their territory without striking Moscow. However, they should still get the fighter jets. I think that some legal beagle in the government could state in writing that the F16s are not to be used to attack Moscow making that part of the agreement to provide them.
@hymns4ever the usa just came out today and said it would take anywhere from 16 to 21 months to get f16s full operational in ukraine does ukraine have a year and half worth of soldiers and equipment to find off the russians, that is no they need weapons now that they can get and use right away or even with a few weeks of training if you want to get ukraine fighters get them some more migs, and or some of the eurofighters there less complicated and can land on roads and dont need expensive airfields and huge amount of crews to man them
Putin is losing, on the battlefield, and economically, strategically, except for a few air bases on the Russian border, supply depot’s, no need to bomb St Petersburg or Moscow, in doing so Putin will use it to galvanize the people of Russia so he can hang on a little longer, something like this would put the already treacherous lying Russian propaganda machine in overdrive
You know Ukraine has been training on all western equipment since 2014.
Did they trained on how to eat radiation it might become part of diet
Yep, this is a U.S. war against Russia using Ukranian lives.
So much propaganda by MSM, I feel like vomiting when I have to listen to CNN, ABC, MSNBC, etc. State propagandists, not one true investigative journalist in da house! 😂
@Marjen Demhare they are comrades in unison and did a poor job
Not everything
AND Ukrainian pilots have been training on fighter jets in the US, the UK, and elsewhere for months now.
So, let me see if I understand it:
1) Dude says, “I’ll give NATO a lesson not to meddle in my Sphere of Influence” and invades a country with an army in tatters
2) gets a beating from a country a fraction the size of his
3) causes around 300K casualties among his forces,
4) loses between 1700 and 3000 tanks and a ton of other vehicles plus the flagship of his fleet
5) loses some 700K – 900K young men which take the hell out of Russia
7) causes an economic recession
And he claims that the West is planning on dismantling the Russian Federation?
Sorry mate, but you can achieve this goal all on your own, no need for any help 🤣
@Daniel Puran the second he does ones will be used vs him so hes dead do you think he wants to die, no hes playing the long game and its probably going to work
Outstanding insights
@Jason / Russia made limited progress with considerable losses. And the 4 hours life expectancy regards the russian soldiers. But you have purposely reversed the info hoping readers haven’t found out so far. Does this not makes you simply a liar?
@LSD It’s for Ukrainian soldiers
@Waheed Khawaja Actually, Elon Musk is making now rocket engines for… 100.000 dollars each. And the performances are incredible. Sorry for you.
When it comes to supplying weapons and munitions, Ukraine’s allies are always a day late and a dollar short. A great strategy to help Ukraine lose.
If Ukraine were able to send ten times as many missiles to destroy Russian military assets in Ukraine as Russia sends to destroy Ukraine, I think that might get Russia’s attention. NATO needs to give thousands of long-range munitions to Ukraine and Ukraine wouldn’t need so many defensive ones. Sometimes it’s better to fight fire with fire instead of with water. No war can be won by playing defense alone. Russia needs to feel some real pain.
Agreed!
@Fernando Heminway Reed You are willfully blind when pretending not to be well aware of Russia’s crimes against humanity.
@Renato Laranja Yep. Billions. And still billions short. You don’t win a war with pocket change.
@James Young no they aren’t billions short at all, they’ve recieved more than enough aid which their corrupt government have partially squandered.
Why must NATO always worry about offending Putin’s feelings?
@Henry Butchy Now days everybody has nukes. We have nukes, he should be worried about what we might do. We allow him to be a bully.
@Luise Kjeldsen You are so lame. How in the world are you going to compare civilian cities to military bases?
The military base of Pearl Harbor was left unsecured during a time a horrific World War was occurring.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were all civilians. There is no way you can come close to compare them.
America only wanted to use the Nazis new atomic bombs on Japan.
Yes, I said it. It was the war criminal Nazis that America smuggled to America who made the bombs. And those same war criminals were going to use them on America before Germany lost to Russia.
America committed a horrific war crime on humanity to murder 200,000 Japanese civilians.
What can you say about a nation that committed genocide on millions of Native Americans, and enslaved African blacks for hundreds of years? Their greed and evil surpass the very little good they actually do.
Baby Putin
They shouldn’t. It’s what gives Putin the nerve to waggle the nuclear stick all the time and make all kinds of threats. I’m glad NATO is finally ignoring that BS and giving Ukraine what they need.
@Valeriy Sentsov and then countries will use nukes to defend themselfs to so that means the death of russia
“They are trying to dismantle our country” says Vladimir Putin, as he tightly grasps a crowbar and a sledge hammer.
Putin is dismantling the country. Putin Kim Xi axis of tyranny is destroying the world. The Allies are rebuilding and helping Russia to stop a bloodthirsty dictatorship.
Lol 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇵🇱
Russia is committing suicide in Ukraine.
@Vera Mae Putin is killing his own people in Ukraine might be a better interpretation….
Pretty spot on in either case…
Matching the weaponry already used by Russia is not “escalation”. It is just playing catch-up.
Ukraine must be given the capability to win. Ukraine must win. Any civilised person/nation state seeing what’s going on in this war cannot fail to come to any other conclusion. Western inaction is a shame on all of us. The curtain must fall on Russia being a threat to any state ever again!
Rather, it was Ukraine killing ethnic Russians in Donbas while trying to join NATO, with the egging on of globalist expansionists, that provoked this war in the 1st place (after a quarter century of warnings from Russia). And yet, Eastern Europe kept further encircling western Russia… When you keep poking the bear, this is what you get.
@Jason / Pootin approves of your comment
Weapons and NATO training for the Ukrainian army. The keys of victory.
The west has proven to be the most barbaric block on earth they fought wars and use all kinds of weapons against none white countries All over the world
Just let us know how many more trillions of dollars they need will get them there ASAP
A shame all this loss of life for one man’s aspirations.

@Maria Adele Cagna how could they stay neutral after Russia invaded in 2014 and took Crimea? Putin has said since he first got elected his goal was to rebuild the ussr and that includes Ukraine and much of Poland.
*ego
That’s usually how it happens. Look at Napoleon, Hitler, etc., etc., etc.
Putin, Erdogan, Bibi, Maduro are basically Football managers…they don’t want to unpopular and get fired so they have to provide victory and teampride.
Their supporters has just as much reason and substance as any sports fans in supporting their team. It’s ego,pride that buys them.
Of course…football fans are just into sports and innocent frivolus competition(ok..maybe not hockey fans and hooligans)…but it’s the same mechanism that keeps a football manager in power as a strongman in his premiership.
Of course …just much more grotesque, anti-social and and a complete disregard for the well being of the country.
Putins , his hirachy of bribed flunkies and the demagouges that finds a living playing the same tune really have little aspiration in their platitudes or to even serve their nation they just want to be in the owners box…
And the…football players are…oligarchs… ok the football manager analogy was a bit forced, but I still say that it’s sports, ego and identity that brings nations to their knees. At the bottom grotesque human idiocy at the top…pure evil that knowlingly fuels it for their own gain.
Of course….that will NEVER happen here…right?
That’s a massive under estimate of Russia losses in Ukraine
Who are you? A war casualty analyst or just a guess counting on your fingers and toes? Come on now. Hit us with your number.
Never trust a russian
@♟️Mr. Blackman 200K+ dead and wounded Russian fascists and that number increases everyday.
And your source is???
@♟️Mr. Blackman with Russian shitty tactics I bet their causalities are around 120000+!, who attacks fortified positions with straight infantry, only Russia because you are asking for heavy casualties!
Putin needs to start fearing for his personal survival instead of fearing that he’ll lose his war.
@Billy Summers you are too optimistic. Putin has done a good job at brainwashing the citizens and a great job at purging his circle of opposition. There is literally none who could alond end the war in russia at the moment. If Putin is killed someone like Prigozhin will take his place.
@Apokkalyps Those millionaire oligarchs that are watching their wealth dwindle away care more about their millions then they do conquering Ukraine. Putins ego is what’s preventing the end of this war
He already is. Why do you think he cannot simply lie about the outcome and withdraw from Ukraine.
@Billy Summers I wish you were right, bur sadly everything is more complex. Targeting Putin as a scapegoat is an evasion of the real reasons for the war. Russians are a deeply postmodern, chauvinistic and imperialistic nation, brainwashed after 70 years of adoctrination and 20 of propaganda.
That fascism those prorrusians cant stop talking about has rooted itself deep in russian society, and the people in places of power really believe in their doctrine, like they did in nazi germany.
‘The 3 day failure’. The war crimes in Chechnya (real bad 1999-2009 mass torture). Poisonings, murder, corruption. Alot more to answer for
“We might have lost a few people in this conflict..” Putin shouts into the empty streets of Moscow.
Few Muscovites are dying. The death rate amongst Buryats and Tuvans is 200x that of people from the Moscow or St Petersburg areas.
@Bear Richmond do you think hes the only one thats has a button moscow and st petersberg would be gone, thats 35 percent of the population of russia, gone in less then an hour we dont even need to use are land based nukes just ones from are subs that russia cant defend from
@redred222 you wargame that out pretty good how would you stop his nuke from getting off the ground or destroying and polluting the cities that they strike collateral damage is a b****
@Bear Richmond yep but russia will be hit by 40 some countries try defending that and china is not going to war to help russia
@redred222 you seem to know a lot how many human lives will be taken how long will those areas not support life and will the water be clean to drink and the oceans to fish is provoking nuclear war worth it what is there for mankind to gain
“Losses in our ranks” are weasel words for the unpalatable truth of unnecessary deaths of his flesh-and-blood fellow citizens – but not him or his children.
I live in North Yorkshire U.K. There are many RAF training bases in this area. The level of flight activity over the last few weeks has been much greater than usual. Draw whatever conclusions you want.
Hopefully that means exactly what you suspect: Ukrainian pilots undergoing crash training in western aircraft, which would be worthless without competent pilots. An so what if F-16s can reach Moscow? Taking the war to the Russians is the only real way to beat the Imperialist militarism out of them. Why does anyone think the United States insisted on unconditional surrender in Japan? The virus of imperialism must be eradicated, or else it just mutates into a stronger infection that’s harder to kill next time.
Kudos UK!
VICTORY TO UKRAINE STAY SAFE GOD BLESS////💙💛💙💛💪💪🙏
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦
He has already done so my son. Ukraine is in ruins. Fkinsheithole.
