    1. Maybe he’ll be kicked off Twitter and Facebook like our country was doing to Trump when Trump was saying his thoughts

    1. Well said. But, I truly believe he’ll be rewarded at the end in paradise with God. (Just my personal thoughts).

    1. @Thomas Lunde : Point well taken, but you mustn’t discount the U.S involvement and fueling of that war ( ¿ Sound familiar? ) through C.I.A operatives and funding of the Mujaheddin insurgency; some of which later evolved into the Taliban.

    2. @Lunatic4Bizcas The US aided Afghans in fighting back against the Soviet Union, saying in hindsight that they shouldn’t have done that is pointless. Soviet could have not fueled the war against the French in Vietnam also. And if Soviet didn’t go to war with Afghanistan then we don’t know if US ever would have gone there at all. It’s always criticism towards US and never the country that actually has the habit of annexing other countries like it was a normal breakfast routine. Why is that?

    3. @Thomas Lunde : And like the U.S didn’t annex most of Mexican Territory in the 19th century (Some of the most productive to be exact) ? What about Hawaii that was gained through deceit and threat. Your comparisons and antiquated notions of ‘American Exceptionalism’ are falling on deaf ears.

    4. @Lunatic4Bizcas 19th century? I mean i have understood that your logic belongs in the past but come on, at least stick to somewhat recent events. The level of deflection you do is just bad… Want to talk about how the Russian empire ended up with basically half a continent? Basically nobody joined willingly… Or maybe how Korea ended up after their influence? Im guessing no…

  1. Pain and suffering to Putin and his supporters 10 Fold. Peace and healing to strong Ukraine 💯 Fold.

  2. Brave man!This man have decency of humanity and humility eventhough he knew a traitor to russia as he said is on top of the hitlist.

  3. Defect. He has plenty of friendly counties to go to. Brave man. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇮🇪 ☘️

  4. God bless this man of integrity! May he and his family succeed in seeking political asylum.🙏

    1. @Captain BoneSpur I hope not. It cracks me up when I see how Urban Dictionary defines the word “GQP”.

  5. Finally, someone speaking up from the Russian government against Putin’s war. Thank you sir!

    1. You buy that crap 😂😂😂😂, there is no stopping until Putin decide to, no more Ukraine thanks to Sleazynsky’s genius and NATO’s crookedness.

    2. @Fact checker Dog and pony show. What happened in Davos? The wef had a meeting. What happened on that meeting?

  6. Wow!! The ex-Russian diplomat really nailed it . He is extremely courageous for calling Putin/regime out. I sincerely hope and pray that he and his loved ones are safe ..

  7. A normal adequate diplomat 👍🏻💛💙 I was born in Russia and I hate this war, insane Russian militaries and brutal Russian government so much. People, who still live there and are native Russians (I’m not), are mostly pro-Putin, pro-Soviet and pro-war, so remaining adequate people there will suffer because of ultraconservative imperialistic majority. Anyway, Russia will lose.

  8. More people, with high profile within and outside Russia, are feeling uncomfortable with Putin’s war with Ukraine, and started taking a stand. Knowing well what they would have to face, they are speaking openly. Courageous people. God bless you.
    🙏👍👍👍🙏

  9. Wow that’s so refreshing to know that not all Russians are brainwashed and mind-controlled by state propaganda. He has a heart and a conscious, hopefully there’s more like him out there.

    1. What??
      Of course they’re not.
      What’s wrong with you?
      Educate yourself before you talk about strangers.

  10. It take a humanity to take down a dictator and bring change and this guy has started it. Thank you sir God 🙏🙏🙏 bless you and your family and keep you safe

  11. I pray 🙏 for that man , He’s tried of the lying and the killing, He just came to his senses
