It’s funny how people can predict what will Putin do next.
I really hope Putin can give up this madness and lay down his arms, be the one in Russia to end this over hundred year long stand off with the West. I wish he could see how ridiculous this old rivalry has become and that ending it in no way diminishes the pride of the nation of Russia. It really does fall on him to join Russia to the rest of Europe–if he does have that much control and support of his military.
@Acrolithic Anachronon up until this war they were all good, doing good business much to the chagrin of some American entity’s.
@Ha Mish yeah I agree there was a lot of good cooperation and how some entities could be against that for nefarious reasons. But I think the biggest problem has always been the stand off between nuclear armed USA and Russia, which has always been an immediate existential threat to either nation. When a nation is faced with a threat to its existence, it usually attempts to disarm the threat by any means necessary. Bringing Ukraine into the influence of the EU was not only a major milestone for the West, but we see that it’s coming at a great cost, because of how Russia perceives this as a threat to its existence, and the situation remains a huge risk.
The lesson from history is that Dictators do not resign, they are either forcibly removed or die.
Stepping down or resigning is never an option
@Florence Modina being forced into exile under threat of imprisonment or worse is not really the sort of “stepping down” envisioned by the phrase. Marcos was told by President Reagan, in so many words, to cut and run. He did leaving the vast majority of his wealth behind as well as Imelda’s shoes! The US gave him safe passage to Hawaii. Marcos’ choice, like Idi Amin’s and many others, wasn’t a choice at all. It was a small window to get out or die. They don’t resign, they escape.
I liked the way Quadafi left. He was dragged to death by a mob.
Watch redacted news not this news to know truth
Iโm from Kharkiv, currently in Vienna. My grandma still in Ukraine, I worry for her everyday and i thank the Western nations for supporting us and helping us not fall, and even gain back. We must win the war, so the democratic nations can live in a safer world in the future! Thanks again to you all guys!
@Skayzi back in the USSR, don’t know how lucky u’re BOY !
RIP Ukraine.
My wife and her family are from beautiful Kharkiv, Saltivka area. I’ve been there many many times. Her 85 yr old mom came to us in March in the US thank God. She is a recent widow and spent her entire savings on a nice apartment last September to be nearer my wife’s sister. Sometimes she is crying that she’ll never see her Ukraine again. At least I can’t eat more of her borscht and golubtsi! After living through WWII and Soviet times…this is the worst. The Germans were not even this evil. My wife’s sister and two daughters fled to Netherlands. So grateful to the kind Dutch people! Brother in law and his mom still in central Kharkiv, though. Very scary. Bombs constantly. Wife’s 50 yr old cousin in Donetsk is pro Ukraine and is scared to go out for fear of being sent to the Russian front. I eat sleep and drink this war all day everyday. It’s so horrible. I hope we all get back to Ukraine soon. Slava Ukrainiy! Heroyam Slava! Smert Voroham! Everything will be Ukraine! Good luck friend.
@Maxim Gusev I’m from the US and I think you’re completely mistaken because they’re already winning.
Many heavy rockets landing in moscow and st. pertersburg may help direct popular sentiment. To date only Ukraine has suffered this. Yes, they are not supposed to fire donated rocketry into russia…blame it on reality. Which could be worse, paying a fine for attacking russia or collecting family body-parts from your once peaceful property ?
Thank you for voicing this idiotic mentality of the West and other Nato countries out! More like saying fight in the UFC, but only use one hand why your opponent fight with his legs, two hands, his teeth, head, and everything he has to defeat you!
@SHEEK Are you trying to say something important? Please try again and find an English speaker to help you translate.
terrible idea, this would rally many Russians into “defending their motherland” , the potential of nukes and other advanced weaponry as well
Given Russian logistics, I want to see how they manage a mobilisation. It will be total madness
@Stanley no heavy equipment to equip them with either. Not really.
Ukraine has even taken pre 2014 territories. And you guys talk like Ukrainians are now surrounding moscow. Lol
@Stanley He will still attempt it amd then use nukes. An incredibly bad situation we find ourselves in.
@Paul Duffy I’ll be watching Moscow burn though a space x satiate
8:12 “Insects make a meal of fruit half eaten”, this has somehow made me emotional while at the same time giving me hope that life is bound to go on and even thrive in the worst of conditions.
I feel you brother. Keep up the hope.
I can see that.
Who the hell is gonna believe the ‘outcome’ of the referenda, it doesn’t change a GD thing!
@Dylan Vogler Crimea was already attacked they did nothing.
You can communicate with the residents of this territory and make sure that they all want to join the Russian Federation, including me. I have a short video on my channel about how Zelensky bypasses the residents of the city of Izyum, and they shout to him that he is not a very good person and blame him for death and shelling of territories. There are also many videos from the territories of the Kharkiv region, and residents tell that Russian soldiers are good, etc., but I’m afraid they will never show you this truth. And if you want to communicate with residents of the DPR and LPR, I will tell you how to find them. And you will see that your media are lying, and people from these territories want to join Russia
Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ must continue. This land is par Ukraine and will be forever,
Ukraine smaller and smaller every day…
Let’s hold a referendum in Moscow. Maybe they would rather be a part of Ukraine.

I like when Vladimir Putin attacks Ukraine though ๐
@Vlad Dracula evil .
@John Densmore โค
Vladimir is a good man
Its weird, every vote in Russia comes up with 97% results.
Mexico was that like in 1970’s.
Uncanny
@greystone *** Damn you beat me to it haha
I guess reversing the numbers was easier than changing them.
The straight-line distance from the center of Moscow to the Russian-Ukrainian border is aboutย 450 km which is 280 miles. Missiles with 300 mi. range, could nail the Kremlin ๐๐ฐ
Learn geography, schoolboy. And also read what is Poseidon ๐
If Moscow was even touched by a western bullet, Putin instantly mobilized his nuclear force. Even thought it would be perfect karma, it would simply make ww2 look like childโs play
The reason is because 300 miles is outside of Ukraine. He canโt say that, but thatโs the reason.
Personally, I think that Ukraine is going to continue being shelled from across the Russian border even after their troops are pushed out of the pre-2014 Ukrainian territory. Give them the weapons to threaten Moscow and let the chips fall where they may.
That will bring peace. Apparently not everyone wants that.
They captured a few Russian long range missile systems in Kharkiv too… now in fairness to the Ukrainians they have said that they will give them back to Russia… express delivery I believe!
I canโt help but see this as Russia at war with Ukraine and the United States with Ukrainian people paying the price. I absolutely love the fact that American weapons are destroying the Russian military! Ukrainian peopleโฆ.. WE STAND WITH YOU!!!! God bless you and your country, be safe and win this war! ๐บ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ธโ๐ป
It will never happen. This time Ukraine can and will defend it’s self. Thank you, the western world, we will never forget. This also, a thank you for giving the Russian people a chance to see up close how the rest of the people on the planet work together and, maybe an opportunity “To be free and democratic”
Waiting for Russia’s escalation, knowing it’s coming, it seems ludicrous not to counter that with preemptive force.
Hats off to the people of Ukraine for their bravery and resilience in dealing with the war in the past seven months. Bravo, man.

Imagine a foreign country invading your home town, then holding a “referendum” to annex your land, and then conscripting you to fight in their army. Only a deranged dictator’s mind can think of such scenario.
