  1. As an american and a mechanical designer, I stand to benifit from this war because of the hardware that is being thrown into the grinder. I don't wan't to see western civilization die at it's own hands like this. The west has declaired war on russia and it's people. When russia brings out the biggest guns in it's arsinal it is considered unfair.

  3. The history is that Yelsen was strongly incouraged by the US. After that the life expectancy in russia declined by three to five years because of privatizing mostly by US interests. After that putin was thought to be an ally of the US's liberal economic policies. When he wanted to make russia strong russia and putin became a target... Ukraine was one of the tools that they used to target russia.

  4.  @netzoned  There is a deep dive into facts..... Like there is a fly on a dead human body... or they were wearling a certain brand of paints. Not that that addresses anything pertentent... The main narrative around the bodies is that they were extra judcial pont blank range killing by russians. There is no independent varification of that claim... From the video evidence there are people who claim that the bodies were less than two days old and that there was no on line evidence of bodies before that... That was after the retreat of the russians. You can be sure that the russians won't retreat again unless there is a treaty to do so.

  5. Biden made an analogy of the cuban missal crisis when russia was arming a state at at the US border.... That threat was removed... When the US arms a state that borders russia, that threat is being dealt with as well.

  6.  @uilnosaj  That is why it is so sad to see so many of them die.

  7. @Herman Lutzer Would you please pay us back in the US for the US weapons and aid to Ukraine we are sending after the conflict is over? in US dollars of course.

  9. The EU is a bannana republic of the US. They are willing to do more than what the US wants to destroy their economies and societies.

  10. Sadly this war has been going on for eight years... Yes we certianly need the foodstuffs from the Ukraine and from russia or a lot of people will die.

  11. Russians are reporting that the lefovers with no food, water or weopons are under orders to shoot anyone who surrenders... Very charming.

  12. The ground game was lost a long time ago... Ukraine is running out of men... The west is saying that they need to stop because they have no idea what an embarrassed Putin will do if he loses.

  13. The war started eight years ago...

  14. Perhaps more russians lost their lives than Ukrainian nationalists. Lets hope this nonsense ends soon.

  15.  @sew_gal7340  Europe is the new US's africa and/or latin banna republics in the americas. One image in my crystal ball has the US over extended trying to keep control of the energy crisis chaos in europe and not have the resources to try and control africa, so africa can utilize their resources....

  16. Germany is determined to make the world safe for banking and other interests that are supported by US policy.... To the distadvantage of germans.

  17.  @epaminon6196  If europe stays the course and swears off cheap energy, keeps it's energy monopolies then water pipes will burst in the north.... Big towns will be in huge trouble with hunger, cold and lack of mobillty... ...What do you think would happen under these probable sercomstances? Historians tend to think that uprisings happen when people are under that kind of critical biological stress....

  18. Only thing they can do is to pray for a mild winter.... . Right now they are struggeling with the energy crisis theory.... When everything shuts down in the middle of winter and the pipes start busting they might have to reconsider their postions or there will be nasty coups.

  19.  @bobhabib7662  I tend to think china will follow through with their industrial capitolist agenda. That means that they need to keep down the cost of, among other things, housing.

  20. Russia is going to find out how much it costs to rebuild most of Ukraine.
    1
  21.  @thevan4476  I is not clear that china will take the west's approach.. If china wants to remain competitive in the world labor markets they need to keep the vulture capitol at bay and keep the rents low. If the chinese take a nationalized restructuring approach they that will raise huge alarm bells in the west.

  22.  @fernandocruz4877  My undersanding is the intersts that own the US goverment want to sell weapons, gass and oil, pharmasuticals, IT and want to continue to 'liberalize' economies so that the banks can own infrastrucure and assets. . Other sources: china and russia supply some of these things at lower cost...

  23. What does occupieing donesk serve? They have been occupying it for eight years, digging in, killing and torturing people and digging in.. Time to give up and save ukrainan lives.

  24.  @evamasters5028  I am a proud russian bot who changed my FB profile picure to a literal russian bot two years ago when everyone insisted that putin installed trump... Again, after fighting russian disinformation about the war in Ukraine for months the US media has to give way to the fact that russia is winning all of their millatary objectives and that the forever war that the US wanted will come to an end by next year.. As well as being a russian bot, I am a mechanical designer in the US. I stand to profit from the increase in spending on millatary hardware in the US because of all the weapons we sent to get ground up... Sorry about all the Ukrainians....

  25.  @Coldpines28  Checians are russian... It is like New Mexicans are americans.

  26.  @sebastianperez759  The US is employing ISIS in syria.... So much for the war on terror.

  27.  @evamasters5028  What is a russian bot? In the US it was someone who didn't beleive that trump was insalled by putin.

  28.  @andreasschmidt5857  I am not sure how mercinaries fit into intergrated millatary systems and command structure... I am sure russian commanders have their hands full trying to orginize local combatents... Patrick Lancaster visited a LPR or DPR encampment-command post the other day... They impressed me as a group that could occupy an area and not so much for an offensive or mop up opeations... Needless to say it, there is little information getting out on russian command structures and offensive opperations. The only one I listen to about that stuff is Scott Ritter... I am not an expert.

  29. My impression is that most of the war crimes infliced on Ukraine are by the Ukraine millatary aganst russians and russian 'colaborators' As an example, one of many, there is some evidence that masecres in Bucha were an opperation carried out by what the Ukraine millatary called a 'clensing opperaiton' or 'safari' by a batallion known as 'safari' to rid the area of 'russian colaborators'

  30. Again... Just as the mines that are discuraging ships from leaving Odesa were laid by the Ukrainians, so too the bridge from Sievierdonetsk was destroyed by Ukraine... Both actions by the Ukraine goverment were blamed on russia. DW news is like reading Riplies beleve it or not by the way they are telling fantastic lies.

  31. There is no problem in the west about sending weapons... The point is to send weapons and have another profitable forever war. Unmitagated victory.

  32.  @paulblichmann2791  Looks like the new cold war is the 'world community' against China-Russia-Iran-India... Orwell was a genious.

  33.  @headoverheels88  I think they are dupes... The US cut off the EU's oil and gas, stopped them from doing buisiness with russia and china.... Iran, Venezula, Cuba.... When you steal peopel's dollars they won't what to do buisiness in your banks and with your currency.... That is a direct action against dollar hegimony done directly by the US. The only bright side is that they will be employing mechanical desigenrs for defence contractors..... I gonna get me one of them postions.... Manufacturing has been shrinking in the US and western europe.... At $50/hr and it is not as if you have to be part of the disinformation industry making war.

  34.  @elbibwen3019  I suggest Garland Nixon... He has a more commedic way of explaining... He also has Ritter on at least once a week.

  35.  @vettemuziekjes  Terrorism is a term coined by 'the world community' .... Falls under 'rules based order'.... This is a minority of the world defined by US hegomony.... What I think you mean is that these explosions whiped out much of the evidence.... It was a war crime as described by international agreement, an attack on civillian infrastructure.... It is also an attack against nato and nato is supposed to respond to that with a unified front against the attacker... We all in agreement as to who we think the actor is that destroyed the pipelines... It is important that we get some proof.

  36.  Olaf Sigurson  Acording to former marine officer and WMD inspector and wistle blower, scott ritter, sanctions agaisnt russian grain and fertilizer WILL, not might, cause millions of starvation deaths next year. Ritter has been keeping up with the ukrane issue for personal interest..
    1
  37.  @machismo4256  So far we don't have any proof... Deliberately destroying civillian infrastructure is a war crime and this is a very serious attack agaisnt many nato members... Although the head of a nato state threatened to do such a thing and it happened is not proof.

  38. These lies are more about US domestic issues and supporting millatary contractors than it is about russain behavior or creating a hot war. The real reason for the US reporting on this is to distract from the democrat's inevatlbe loss in '22 and '24 because the democrats won't fullfill any of their campaign promises.. Their campaign promises are where they could save the western world and they are maknig all kinds of excuses not to.

  39. It has been going on for eight years.... Lets hope it stops.

  40. This guy has to be a comedian: Relentless russian propoganda: " Russia is accusing nato of conducting a proxy war with russia"... If you are to believe US forign policy people who have a descripion of their goals in this coflict "To degrade Russia's milaltary and economic capabillities in the world" ... ... What is the definiiton of 'proxy war'? ... Is it arguable that the US controls nato? ... Does 'propoganda' mean it is NOT true? ... Is this a literal lie or is it 'literal lie "ajacent"'? I have been studying us media linguistics... This guy seems to be a mester from our 'ministry of truth' ... And in the US we have a new official minstry of truth.

  41. European politicians gladly sanclin themseleves to keep the US happy... Anything like an economy in europe will cease to exist next winter because they want to service US and european vendors...

  42.  @sjishah  Democracy is doing whatever the US wants even if you are unimployed, broke, cold and homeless...

  43.  @chrisbrown4002  The stated goals of the west via the Ukraine war is to weaken russia economically and milatarily. Killing some russians in Ukraine with the weapons we are sending will not fullfill those goals.

  44.  @lancerevo9747  Russia avoided the attack on infrastructure for a long time... In the first iteration, their strategy was to present an army to Ukraine and hope they surrender, the second have several control centers that were relatively well supplied.. Now that they know there is no hope of sewing for peace, they are setting up a unified command structure and doing stuff that is nasty to ukraine in order to liberate their targeted areas. I don't know when the west will have to give up it's PR strategy... The west is really looking elsewhere hoping that the war will inspire sanctions that are going to be killing the EU...

  45.  @OleksandrBarraniv321  The US and russia seem to be willing to figth to the last Ukrainian man... Is it possible that Ukrainians will be tired of getting killed and stop?

  46.  @jesusaguilar4585  I feel like it was a massive intelegence failure on the part of Russia. The kids were taken as POWS to Ukraine, they wern't supposed to be on any part of a hot zone, my undestanding is that some of them died. Many who were captured have nasty injuries and are not happy at all.

  47. Mostly US millatary pirates oil that the US deems illeagal. They only stop and make amends when there are millatary assets that threaten the offending contries oil tankers.... The prime example is Greese. The empire is crumbling...

  48.  @attsealevel  I suppose it is better to add to the US's war chest.... As an american and a mechanical designer, I am sure to benifit from that.

  49. Biden thinks it is similar to the cuban missle crisis when russia put missiles on the US border.... When the US puts missiles on the Russian border there is a way to remove those as well... The destruction of the pipelines and the attempted destruction of the bridge leave the infrastructure that takes more mentions to the russian border vulnerable. It is not an operation similar to the one in Iraq, that was termed 'Shock and Awe' where the US tore the place apart.... These are russian brothers and sisters.... But infrastructure that is used as logistics for destruction of other russian teratory is vulnerable to attack....

  50.  @jesusaguilar4585  Yes... The draftees in Kirsk weren't alowed to be in direct combat or a combat zone... It was a huge failure of Russian intelegence that they were caught in the middle. It is notable that a bunch of mechanics and cook enlisted held back the onslaught in Kirsk for a short time.
