The fact that theyre going on with daily lives in such a casual manner is really something, these people are beyond strong
Just compare them to the Brits during the blitz.
Human beings are remarkably resilient.
They have no choice to continue living unless they’re feeling suicidal.
Why they don’t send a few drone’s to Russia I don’t understand but iguess that could get the Russian people behind the war don’t want that.
Or they’re beyond ignorant lmfao
Well said, General Clark! Let’s stop with these half measures!
@Malgorzata oj oj You are making zero sense. If Russia drops a nuke on Ukraine, do you think America would fire a nuke at Russia? THAT would be madness by America. Ukraine cannot retaliate with a nuke, so the war would end there. But if America then attacked Russia with a nuke, it will mean “end of the world”. So no, Russia could drop a nuke on Ukraine, even on Poland, and America would do NOTHING about it. As mad as Biden is, he will not attack Russia with nukes.
“Besides, using nukes to defend itself from any escalation? What would that even mean? It makes no sense.” It’s obvious to anyone with a brain really, if Russia finds itself fighting against NATO (or NATO gives its best kit to Ukraine)… then Russia will need to use the next level of advantage. Which might mean a nuke on Kyiv. Worked for America in Japan. Remember Putin sees this as existential, win or die
@Ran Sertu IF Russia would drope a nuke on Ukraine, it would be tactical, not strategic. And US warned Russia that if it does it, then NATO comes in and will destroy all the Russian forces that are on the Ukrainian territory. Without nukes, just with normal weapons. Yes, that would end the war, Ukraine would be from the orcs. I think you do not pay attention to what is really happening and what is being said in this conflict.
As for the second part of your text, I think I just answered it. It’s hardly probable that Russia will use nukes in Ukraine, it has been warned what will happen if it does. It won’t lead to de-escalation. Just the opposite, the NATO steps in then. And this is something Russia really does not want, despite its propaganda that they are fighting NATO forces in Ukraine. Russia has no chance against NATO. I hope you got it now.
@175hydro I certainly don’t think we should escalate it to a nuclear war but to say we have nothing to do with this war is just factually incorrect. We signed a treaty with Ukraine in the 90’s that if they agreed to give up their nuclear arsenal we would defend them if anyone threatened their sovereignty.
@vinnie lalumia The russians lost in Afghanistan they lost both Crimean wars against Britian and France just to name a couple, plenty to suggest that they can lose they could not ever win a conventional war with NATO. They will do anything to ensure their suvival which means that they won’t use nukes in Ukraine as that would be the end of Russia and everyone else Russia knows that no matter how many nukes they have they can never win a nuclear war.
The Ukrainian people are just BEYOND….. I’m beyond impressed by their spirit.😮
@Bogdan Kukić ohh aee you sure about that? Thats not what happened in Bucha Massacre. It is not documended h9w RussianNazi killed all abled men who did not join the war. Tanks shooting civilians that just want to get home. Women being raped. All the evidence are now clear even the Russian commander who is present at that masscre have been seen at the CCTV.
@Southwest NDN At least I got likes unlike you not at all 😂😂
I have an Ukrainian friend, never met anyone like her, so positive, full of energy and always looking Forward to good things despite all that’s happening around her.
@J.Gomez I have many friends from Ukraine too . They are really nice and friendly
They are just trying really hard to survive through war. Nothing can be scarier then long war. So the other choice is to die like many others.
That woman is a free spirit. Respect. Wish her misery come to an end soon.
@Dragon Lord Not many of us can write that well in a foreign language. Save your ‘help’ for native speakers, many of whom butcher English on a daily basis.
@Mqhele The sentence was almost perfect. All you needed was to insert ‘will’ after misery and it would have been 100% correct.
@Dragon Lord, as ESL, I have no issue understanding @Mqhele’s comment…We don’t need you to be the grammar police…
@Heavy Softness, I think the writer implied that she wished the war to end so the lady’s will no longer suffer…
@Ged Farnan, constructive feedback is not only welcome, but also appreciated. Thank you for yours.
As someone with learning disability, dyslexia. Writing and spelling never came easy, even with my native language. I was mortified when I had to communicate in writing,. It was a big hurdle that I have learned to overcome, so I always appreciated when ever I receive constructive feedback and improve my writing, instead of being making fun of…
applauds Gen Clark well said ..Ukraine needs everything they have asked for and they need it NOW!!
@orion tukal lol sure because he hasn’t used everything we have given perfectly its almost like America is telling them what they need training the soldiers and maybe giving them a few targets but sure mor weapons and training won’t help 🤣
@Milan Savic
Judging from your name, we here detect a wild Serbian Nazi supporting his fellow Nazi Russians. These two primitive tribes understand nothing but war and atrocities. Animals.
@SGT OGyou forgot to mention the troops in Syria
What’s happening to ukrain is awful yes but who is gona take America to court of what it done to Iraq and afqanistan a lot of people killed there shows how messed up this world is
@Steen Romme and in the African continent.
that man describing himself as an animal really makes me feel sh*t. I feel depressed in a safe home and country but theres people like him who are barely surviving in a warzone, maybe even has family to care for. If there’s something I can learn from this war is trying to appreciate my luck more.
EXACTLEY WHY NATO U.S U.K NEEDS TO GET THEIR FINGERS OUT AND GIVE THE UKRAINE LEAPORDS M1A2s CHALLENGERS ATACMS BASICALLY THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO TURN THIS AROUND … SEEMS TO ME THEY ARE ALL MAKING MONEY THE LONGER IT DRAGS OUT WHICH MAKES THEM WORSE THAN PUTIN
@Lunchbox15 you make no sence
@MegaCreativeName He is only stating how blessed he is
@salleh sallehnewton US is a very wealthy country, homeless choose to be homeless US has many programs to take care of them
We love all Ukrainians, god bless you beautiful people. Wish this senseless war would end.god bless Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦from Australia.
I am a Ukrainian girl living in Mariupol. There is an Alley of Angels in Donetsk, where hundreds of children killed by the Bandera junta regime during the nine years of the civil war are buried. I want the regime of this terrorist neo-Nazi satanic Bandera junta, their leader Zelensky and other criminals, to answer in full for their crimes. Junta were given the task by their globalist masters to kill as many Ukrainians as possible until they remembered that they were Russians and returned to the Russian world. A Westerner who has been supporting the Kiev junta for all these nine years and now, know that you killed these children. You are a murderer of Ukrainian children! I believe that in response to the supply of weapons and mercenaries to the Bandera junta, Russia has the right to strike at you with nuclear hypersonic missiles.
And to those who write here the slogan of the Bandera killers of Ukrainian children “Slava Ukraine”, to those who supply weapons and mercenaries to criminals of the Bandera junta for the murder of Ukrainian children, I want to remind the arrival time of the Sarmat nuclear missile, not the fastest Russian missile, to the capitals of countries that supply weapons to the criminal neo-Nazi regime of Kiev –
1. To Ottawa – 850 seconds
2. To Berlin – 106 seconds
3. To London – 202 seconds
4. To Washington – 995 seconds
5. To Paris – 200 seconds
Let me remind you that none of the NATO countries has protection from the Sarmat missile, not the fastest Russian missile. The mother of Russian cities Kiev will be liberated from Bandera orcs and will return to her homeland, to Russia, we Ukrainians will win this war against the rotten and already half-dead West, the lies of the Western media will not help the criminals of the Bandera junta regime. Russia has led the free world against the tyranny of the globalists and, as always, will win, most of humanity is on Russia’s side, it is estimated that more than 80% of the world’s population supports Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
Freedom to Ukraine! Death to the Fascist occupiers! Glory to the Russian soldier liberator! 🇷🇺 ❤️

Ukraine is fading and soon fall into oblivion. Population in government area has declined from 52 millions to around 18 millions! Their army is all but decimated in less than 1 year. It is their last 400k of soldiers that is making a last stand. And this was achieved with only 10 % of Russian military capacity. That deadly attack was a result of Ukrainian missile defense system.
@buravan15 we all blame you Russian barbarians
I agree with this General!
Clark is responsible for all wars America has been in, and lost them all.US Foreign Wars policy… the US loses every war it is in is a shallow understanding of the US Military Industrial Complex and US Foreign Policy.
The US does not enter into foriegn conflicts “to win”, that is just the propaganda that is fed to the US voters.
The longer the war continues the more of an economic plus for the US economy as weapon sales increase across the globe, the more wealth the US Oligarchy acquires and the more control they have of international trade and monetary policy. So in reality,
the US wins its wars, it just does it in a way that you and most others do not see, and that is by design.
I’m British and I totally agreed with his view of arming Ukraine.
Sounds smart war with Russia Britain would lose
@Haydo The rapper Britain is in NATO so Russia would have no chance. Remember the Crimea war when Britain, France and Turkey beat Russia!…
@james Clayton i believe China , Russia and Iran vs NATO would win a prolonged war
I mean, they should beat Russia that’s 4 countries plus a military alliance, including America against 1 country lmfao of course they beat Russia that’s a 50v1
@JohnJohn China and Russia would win against NATO
so sad in these situations, where is the UN and its members, being held hostage by 1 vote in the security council
It would be nice, to hear from the UN’s Secretary General, once in a while.
What is the UN goimg to do? Another Congo incident.
Rather than being held hostage by 2 like during Iraq and afghan wars?
“This is my land, I will not leave” the power in these words!
Zelensky can give up his sharade anytime and raise his hands into surrender. Putin needs to increase bombings on a scale that the warmongering American did on Iraq. Decimate complete cities.
@Brandon A not true and guy has one leg.. The only army that would take a one legged soldier are the Russians..
@Brandon A Putin can stop forcing his men to die whenever he wants.. The invader has a choice.. the defender doesn’t.
@Robert smith Palestine is not real, it is Israel, Jewish land
@Deez Nuts they were force to. They took jew people into their arm and jew betray them.
The General is spot on ! It feels like we are just throwing crumbs around to the Ukrainians .
it’s like keeping a fighter alive in a ring without giving him a chance to win. Just to keep him go on fighting and getting hit again and again without collapsing
Words of gratitude to General Clark from the Free people of Ukraine to the Free man of the Free country!🤜🤛

What wonderful people , so strong , puts life in perspective,we don,t know how lucky we are . I think of them every day ,if l were younger l would go there to help 🇬🇧
Sell your house and send the money if you care. Biden raped us by sending trillions.
@Doris Shanks yeah it’s amazing what you can do when everyone’s is lying for your war Isn’t it.
Why can’t they fight there own wars not like they didn’t see this coming but it’s ok
We will foot the bill
Not even in NATO and getting support bet every NATO member is wondering why they’ve been paying to be a member all these years 🤡👍
@thebengaliguy Not dying for Russians but for Ukraine and democracy
We all should do something to help. Whatever it is in our power if we do not want this war to spread. This is just insane. It can easing escalate to WW3 if not stoped at roots.
I completely agree with you. I have thought the same thing many times.
Finally, well said General. Please give Ukraine all they need, not just enough for defense, people are dying everyday. Ukrainians have already proven that they are able to succeed
seems the West is proudly announcing ‘we have send so many of this and that’. The thing is, to win the war Ukrainians need 10, maybe 100 times more. Russia is in the wartime mood, gradually also economy. In the west it is still a political theatre to a big degree.
I agree
No to Americas involvement in a proxy war
Slava Russia and no to NATO and America meddling and no to fascist Ukrainian government and fascist zelensky and the Zionist bankers of Rothschild’s
@Jeremiah’s Reviews everything Get lost
The people deserve more respect
The people yes, not their US NATO puppet leaders who don’t value their lives and have dragged them into an un-winnable war.
You struggle is very hard but i beleive you can do the best for your country .slava ukraina .🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@♠️ Манька Облигация Russia invader.
Slava ukraina !!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
US/NATO will lose the proxy war against Russia. It’s a only matter of time.
In my secret heart of hearts, I wish I had this kind of courage, Ukrainian people are truly inspiring.
It’s amazing how courageous an average person can be when under pressure. Remember, “Oz didn’t nothing to the Tin man, that he didn’t already have…..”(lyrics by the group America, c. 1972)
Insert “give” after “didn’t”. My bad.
They are stupid, this war can be avoided.
I think all Ukrainians supporters should join the foreign legion and help them fight Putin’s army.
This is what war looks like and those who are more fortunate should make sure this never happens to their loved ones. No one should stay aside and do something to stop it.
God bless Ukraine!
This continues to sadden my soul. I love the Ukraine people.
