  1. Its commendable and honourable that Australia admitted to war crimes done by its soldiers, unlike USA which admitted no crimes done by American soldiers, and threatened and sanctioned any who dared to investigate.
    2200
  2. Those willing to fight Russians had done so 2 years ago. The remaining just want to stay alive.
    29
  3.  @haldir3120  At least, it's one case more than USA, even its just civil. The main point is that military of the west did committed war crimes.
    27
  4. Simple. Zelensky just need to give up the 4 regions and Crimea and let Ukraine be a permanent neutral state, and the war would stop. He and his family could live a luxurious life in USA.
    26
  5. @chrisviking7807 If Poland was not part of NATO, maybe. Now after Ukraine weakened Russia while Poland getting stronger. Poland is not afraid of Russia anymore in conventional warfare. So its their interest to protect Polish farmers 1st.
    18
  6. 6/6/23 ( Tuesday ) 1.56 pm. What did CNN meant that Ukraine wanted silence about their counter offensive plans ? Ukraine had been advertising about their counter offensive-to-be for over half a year, from winter to spring to June ( summer ) with numerous arm chair generals analysing their battle plans. It would go down in modern warfare history as the most advertised and talked about counter offensive.
    15
  7. ​ @atticusfredericks6210  After 2 years of fighting, the shovels had proven to be as good as the game changer wonder weapons that Ukraine been using. So the jokes on NATO ?
    14
  8. 21/5/24 ( Tuesday ) 9.30 pm. Boeing plane again ? Sigh. May the deceased rest in peace and the injured full recovery
    14
  9.  @egertonmark  Of course students are military resource as they could be trained as soldiers to fight the war.
    13
  10. Because the Russo-Ukraine war was concentrated at the Eastern front ?
    13
  11. After more than 2 years of fighting, Ukraine not only couldn't retake the 4 regions and Crimea, its losing more lands to Russia. And at what death counts ? And Zelensky is begging NATO/EU for more of everything. Its laughable and sad. Ukraine should negotiate for peace while it still can.
    13
  12. Were those 50 Ukrainians, "willing volunteers" or "unwilling conscripts" ? Their attitudes would vary greatly between these 2 category.
    9
  13. Maybe because you're tired of Russian victories ?
    9
  14. And equal flights.
    8
  15. Poor Scholz. He's weak when he gave helmets to Ukraine. He's still weak after giving Leopard tanks to Ukraine. It seemed that he needed to be Strong in saying No to Zelensky.
    8
  16. Damn, you're rich.
    7
  17.  @jackbleiham8475  What ? It should Palestinians have the same rights to live and freedom as Ukrainians. Unlike Ukraine, Palestinians have no country of their own, even now the people been slaughtered by Israel supported by USA.
    7
  18. All Zelensky insisted on joining NATO. Worse, he even agreed to deploy US nuclear arsenal in Ukraine after joining NATO.
    7
  19. 2 months later in Oct 2023, Zelensky lost his grand Summer counter-offensive. No celebrating of victory in Crimea. No viewing of Azov Sea.
    7
  20. Yeah, just 3 or 4 more defense lines to breakthrough before winter 2023.
    7
  21. Compared to how the Israelis military treated the Palestinian civilians, the Orcs are more civilised and merciful.
    7
  22. Complaining ? He's just saying the facts that the corrupted Ukrainians are losing on the eastern front.
    6
  23. I doubt Russia underestimated Ukraine combat capabilities. I think Putin underestimated NATO/EU willingness to help Ukraine on the onset of the war and to apply intense dirty economic sanctions and personal assets robberies. Also, Russia overestimated Germany courage to defy USA bullying, even after their gas pipeline was bombed. I doubt you understood the chaos of Russia from 1989 to 2000 when the Russians felt hopeless, and the West just stood by watching. Putin gave them calm, hope, pride and prosperity from 2001 to 2014. Russia is now an Asian country since the West had ostracised it. If Asia prosper, so would Russia.
    6
  24.  @Kmdr_Robotnik  That title is reserved for USA.
    6
  25. And they are winning with the fall of Avdiivka and other areas.
    5
  26. Maybe because it was shown that even the Patriot missile system might not be able to protect itself, against Russian hypersonic missiles.
    5
  27.  @valerievankerckhove9325  USA rejected UK.
    5
  28. Agree. Zelensky must negotiate for peace ASAP.
    5
  29. Not the World. Just USA and most of Europe.
    5
  30.  @Ttui89.  I was describing Taiwan, not China.
    5
  31.  @naguoning  But 1st, Taiwan military training need to increase to 3 years instead of 4 months or 1 year.
    4
  32. Maybe because his days as President are numbered ?
    4
  33. For those who are well to do, its better to live as a coward than rot as a brave corpse.
    4
  34. @RTDice11  So we all agreed that NATO game changer wonder weapons worked as fine as Russian shovels.
    4
  35. I find it funny that the once derogatory meaning of Shovels of Russia, is now on par with the Game Changer Wonder weapons from the West.
    4
  36. The question should be "Do Ukrainians in Germany need to be send back to Ukraine to help defend their homeland ?"
    4
  37. For the future of Ukraine, stay strong and courageous to raise white flag that the Pope had pleaded.
    4
  38. It meant that Zelensky is not desperate enough for peace.
    4
  39. Since the F16 would most likely be stationed on the west-western side of Ukraine, by the time a squadron of them reach the eastern border, they might be intercepted by the Russian planes and S-400. Little chances to "throw" bombs.
    4
  40. Can't compare. Bakhmut was a city lined with fortified houses while the villages were basically farmlands. Different battlegrounds.
    4
  41. At least the Russians gained lands, the Ukrainians lost lands even after suffering heavy casualties.
    4
  42. Yeah and Ukraine running out of meat.
    4
  43. You forgot the channel is called HISTORY legends. From this video, you could see that he only summarised the the frontline battles from Sep 2024 till recently.
    4
  44. Ukraine is no 1st world country.
    4
  45. He might not be so impressed when he learnt that the Ukraine military used Soviet doctrine to breakthrough Russian defenses.
    4
  46.  @henrymichael13  Maybe because Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war. It had conducted 15 military mobilizations as compared to Russia 2 mobilizations. Already Ukrainian minors and elders were been sent to the frontline. If it continues, Zelensky has to send children soldiers.
    4
  47. Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia with it to hell. Sweet dreaming.
    4
  48. Even as Russia put its economy in the war, it does not mean Europe and USA economy are fine. The economic engine of Europe, Germany is now the sick man of Europe. With its national debt of 33 trillion, USA government is facing shut down in Nov 2023. As such, NATO donations to Ukraine would greatly reduced if not cut off completely. You advised Ukraine to be careful with human losses ? Don't you know Ukraine is facing manpower shortage for war ? Zelensky is already drafting minors and elders to the frontlines. Ukraine have no time to wait for the world's 11th largest economy to wear down. As for your last sentence, you mean the debts in the West is basically infinite ( USA alone already account 33 trillion ) ?
    4
  49. Still pretending that Ukraine is winning the war ? Even though Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors to the meat grinder ? By the way, should have reported on how CIA assasinated Prighozin by shooting down his plane.
    4
  50. Then in this video, the New York Times, Washington Post and general Millie "sort of" agreeing to Putin.
    4
  51. Can't blame the guy. This is an attrition war which Russia is on a "better" position than Ukraine, which is totally dependent on NATO/EU "charities" to continue the war. Moreover, it suffered manpower shortage for war. In the end, Russia would "win".
    4
  52. @kalleranta2260  Now, Finland gladly and readily surrenders its freedom to USA. As you said, Finland never truly were neutral.
    4
  53. If that guy is a successful clown, then Zelensky is a failed comedian.
    4
  54. Russia could rebuild destroyed airbase but Ukraine couldn't retake lost lands.
    4
  55. Don't talk like that. USA, the sole superpower also got its own Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan pathetic military moments.
    4
  56. Never forget Tzar Putin would have the last laugh over Beggar Zelensky as Senile Biden and USA abandoned Ukraine.
    4
  57. My condolences to the affected Taiwanese which had lost its transparency of its public policies, no freedom of speech, no freedom of press, a declining economy and became a chess piece of USA.
    4
  58.  @YouTubemessedupmyhandle  Its easier for NATO to stop all supports to Ukraine, so as to force Zelensky to negotiate for peace than to demand Putin to withdraw from Ukraine. Problems solved
    4
  59. For the sake of ordinary Ukrainian people, NATO should stop all supports to Ukraine so that it would be forced to negotiate for peace to end the war.
    4
  60.  @jayc1139  You might have forgotten the Middle East region of Saudi Arabia and Iran are now at peace with the effort of China.
    4
  61. 21/9/23 ( Thursday ) 5.37 pm. So its not false interpretation since no Polish weapons would be supplied to Ukraine.
    4
  62. Grand counter offensive has been reduced to probing attacks ? How much war materials have ended in Ukraine black markets ?
    4
  63.  @sH-ed5yf  No need to worry about dark Russia future. If Russians could survive the collapse of Soviet Union, they could survive NATO/EU sanctions and robberies. Just look at Cuba and North Korea. If they could still exist after 60 - 70 years of "international" sanctions, so could the No. 11 economic entity - Russia. After Russia wins the attrition war, it would spend more on economic recovery.
    3
  64. More sanctions ? The collective West had done their worst in 2022, even resorted to robberies of Russian personal assets. Yet Russia economy still left standing, while the collective were feeling the whipping backlash of Russia counter-sanctions.
    3
  65. No worry. Pakistan is not in Middle East.
    3
  66. Yet NATO dare not set up No Fly Zone over Ukraine despite begging from Zelensky in 2022.
    3
  67. Most Africans diet is maize, not wheat. India produces its own food. USA wants China to buy its grains. So I think Putin knew the rich Europeans would have to pay for more expensive bread.
    3
  68. After the battle of Bakhmut, it would be the battle for Donbas region. For Russia, Ukraine focused on Bakhmut meant that more manpower being used up. Thus, less manpower for Ukraine to defend other area and to launch counter-offensive. Ukraine would lose the attrition war.
    3
  69. You should lower your hopes. Would Ukraine have enough manpower after Bakhmut for counteroffensive ?
    3
  70. Even with Brexit, UK is broke. A "city" had bankrupted.
    3
  71. I think you're mistaken. No Arab nations and Turkey are in the EU. Turkey is only in NATO.
    3
  72. Not so. Its the West, especially USA which wanted to crush the established global rules based order.
    3
  73.  @jdocean1  Nah. It's more like how it works out for Zelensky.
    3
  74. ​ @ingai7014  Not so. USA didn't send a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine fight for freedom against Russia aggression.
    3
  75.  @Emperor-Inker  Europe was naive in following USA to sanction Russia. Even at the height of the cold war, Europe still receive a stable supply of oil/gas from the then Soviet Union.
    3
  76. The karma for sanctioning Russia.
    3
  77.  @des_smith7658  If so, then Ukraine should have negotiate for peace with Russia. Not to prolong the war.
    3
  78. Zelensky wanted those diaspora Ukrainian men to defend their homeland.
    3
  79. From your "plane" dialogue, I recalled a scene from Battlestar Galactica which a human fighting side by side with his "enemy", a cylon robot. Too bad in reality, Ukraine would have too few MIG-29 and F16 in 2024 for any meaningful air "resistance" against Russian planes.
    3
  80. Perhaps USA was concerned that Ukraine might use its attack helicoptors to attack Russia proper.
    3
  81. But Kharkiv was lightly defended.
    3
  82. It seemed that you are in the minority. The West media have been saying that Ukraine would lose the war even with NATO/EU supports. Biden had hoped that Zelensky would be able to drag the war after November 2024.
    3
  83. Russia almost takes another abandoned town ? That meant that Ukraine military had been defeated and had to abandon towns.
    3
  84. Same with Ukraine.
    3
  85. You forgot to mention other NATO nations.
    3
  86. The Americans fled from the Talibans.
    3
  87. Same for the "sole superpower" US military.
    3
  88. Ukraine military turning professional ? Not so. Too much casualties on Ukraine side. Zelensky is running low on manpower to even fill up the ranks. Coupled by USA abandonment of Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel, Zelensky might have to negotiate for peace in Putin favour in 2024.
    3
  89. Maybe because NATO training is ineffective against Russia doctrine.
    3
  90. It's well known that he's pro Russia. If you want to hear pro Ukraine, you could try Reporting from Ukraine. Over there, Ukraine is winning.
    3
  91. Maybe because it's a diversional attack ?
    3
  92. For the glory, power and wealth of Zelensky, Putin and Biden.
    3
  93. At the end of the attrition war, Ukraine will lose. It is because Ukraine got 2 fatal weakness. 1) Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU charity supports for war, unlike Russia which is self-sufficient. 2) Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war. It had conducted 15 rounds of military mobilizations as compared to Russia 2 mobilizations. Ukrainian minors and elders had been sent to the frontline. Hopefully Zelensky would not send children to the frontline after a few years of fighting.
    3
  94. Yes. Copium been used alot by the pro-Ukraine groups to escape the reality of defeat.
    3
  95. For your questions, HistoryLegend had made 2 videos about the Kursk incursion. As for the huge Russia losses and lack of weaponries, the Western media had laughed at the shovel armed, washing machine chips missiles, WW2 tanks, outdated Soviet doctrine Russian army since 2022. So no need for him to elaborate on it. Strange that the Western media had stopped praising their own game changer wonder weapons and modern NATO tactics.
    3
  96. Same with USA. The French people was paying 4 times more expensive for US gas.
    3
  97. ( Sigh ) Ukraine lost a whole 100 metres at the cost of 5000 lives in a week.....
    3
  98. Perhaps too many pro-Ukraine channels, which made this channel seemed neutral.
    3
  99. USA should have honoured its guarantee security agreement with Ukraine and send formal, professional soldiers to repel "incompetent" Russian military from Ukraine.
    3
  100. They are pro-Ukraine channels.
    3
  101. Maybe because Russia only wanted the pro-Russian 4 regions and Crimea. Not to destroy/conquer the whole of Ukraine. Ukraine military might have broken the 1st or 2nd defensive lines, but they have another 2 or 3 more defensive lines to breakthrough before winter 2023.
    3
  102. This war could be ended tomorrow if Ukraine did the following. 1. Let Russia have the 4 regions and Crimea. 2. To be a permanent non-nuclear neutral state.
    3
  103. @Boom.Desjardins  More than 2 years later, attrition had caught up with Ukraine. Zelensky is going around begging more of everything, even asking Europe to send Ukrainians back to defend their homeland. Poland is considering the option. This showed that Ukraine's situations are dire. Regardless of win or lose, is there any future for Ukraine after the war ?
    3
  104. You mistaken Russia as the former Soviet Union. Russia is only a regional power after Soviet Union imploded.
    3
  105. No. She just only married to a rich husband.
    3
  106. Compare to that Japanese expert in the video who speculated that those fishes were been chased by bigger fishes, so they ended up on shore, or the fishes swam into cold water, so they were washed ashore. Treated waste water from Fukushima as a reason seemed legit and not so silly.
    3
  107. 22/11/23 ( Wednesday ) 11.12 am. I think its a matter of willingness to help the refugees. Indonesia is a big Islamic country with many uninhabited islands. It could relocate the refugees to a few of them after some development to those islands. As for money, Indonesia could ask donations from rich Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, even its neighbour Brunei to chip in. If the tiny Singapore could have a population of a few million, surely Indonesia could accommodate 1 or 2 million of them.
    3
  108.  @aphangel7222  The difference is that no hundreds of thousands of formal, professional soldiers from NATO in Ukraine repelling Russian soldiers.
    3
  109.  @Jurgir09  Unfortunately, NATO had no courage even to face Russia in Ukraine, given the lame boring nuclear threats.
    3
  110. You forgot China, Iran and North Korea.
    3
  111. 8/2/24 ( Thursday ) 3.50 pm. Who could be conscripted to fight for Ukraine ? Of course the poor men and women who could not flee Ukraine after the brave had died out.
    3
  112. You're mistaken. After 11 military mobilizations, Ukraine is drafting minors and elders to fight. Ukraine lacks manpower.
    3
  113. Significant progress ? The Ukrainians have not even reached the 1st line of Russian defense yet.
    3
  114. A spin of "have we reach there yet ?" to "has it happens yet ?"
    3
  115. Yeah. Zelensky, what happened to the war drama ? The audience is getting bored.
    3
  116. In that scenario, Russia and Belarus would aid Ukraine like NATO/EU. US forces would be bogged down in Ukraine. Then USA would flee from Ukraine like it fled from Afghanistan.
    2
  117. A war lost is still a lost, whether its militarily or politically. In Korean war, USA lost both when the ill-equipped Chinese army was able to drive the American out of North Korea.
    2
  118. Now, they don't even have the courage to face the Russian army in Ukraine, nor did they dare to hit a Chinese navy vessal. Taliban sure terrorised the US armed forces.
    2
  119. After the big win against the 4th largest army in the world in Iraq, USA suffered a humiliating defeat against a bunch of terrorists in Afghanistan. How unpredictable USA military performance is.
    2
  120. So do USA. Taiwan had bought many weapons from it. After several years, USA still have not delivered the fully paid weapons and ammo nor have the US refund the money. USA is also not trust worthy in weapons sale.
    2
  121. Yeah, except Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU charities for artilleries unlike Russia which is still self-sufficient. A clear case of non-guarantee quantity of quality ammo and artilleries.
    2
  122. Because Ukraine is not winning ?
    2
  123. Yet, the content of the video seemed neutral.
    2
  124. Taliban no money but China might be interested in buying.
    2
  125. They did. That's the reason the heavy fighting in Bakhmut was carried out by Wagner mercenaries, while Zelensky continued to send Ukrainian soldiers to fight and die there even they had lost Bakhmut.
    2
  126. Sorry, you're mistaken. Only NATO/EU supported Ukraine. The rest of the world are either neutral or support Russia.
    2
  127. Yeah, it makes those soldiers looked like actors, sheding false tears.
    2
  128. Not really. Beside minors, Zelensky also conscripting elders to fight at the front lines. So, its young and old people dying for old politics.
    2
  129. Political diversion from the current government incompetencies in Britain internal matters.
    2
  130. Now USA and UK are fighting Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    2
  131. Zelensky should let Putin have the 4 regions and Crimea and leave the rest of Ukraine in peace.
    2
  132. Failure in the grand counter offensive, and Zelensky vented his disappointment on a bridge.
    2
  133. I was wondering why Swiss officials walked out of Zelensky speech, when he was trying to ask Switzerland to side with Ukraine in war.....doesn't Zelensky knew that Switzerland is and always will be a neutral country ? It did not even sided with anyone in WW2. It had tried to profit from confiscating Russian assets. In the end, Credit "swiss" collapsed. The "prestige" of its banking sector, damaged.
    2
  134. Sushi, sashimi and other seafood would be out of the menu. The beginning of the end for the global demise of seafood industries.
    2
  135. Suddenly, I thought of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle".
    2
  136. Then the Japanese would accuse the rest of the world for not helping Japan, with viable solutions and resources to try to solve the "global water problem".
    2
  137.  @naguoning  It'll be enough for other countries, but ROC in Taiwan is facing real existential treat from PRC in mainland China thanks to provocative DPP. Compulsory conscription regardless of gender with 3 years military training should be implemented.
    2
  138.  @First-Last_name  Thanks for the information.
    2
  139.  @PeterSedesse  Erdogan would come to regret it. Turkey would never be admitted into EU even if he goes full west.
    2
  140. Most Africans staple is maize, not wheat. Its the Europeans that would take a beating on sanctions against Russia.
    2
  141. ​ @cswanson4476 So the next US election would be a fraud, according to your explanation since both Republicans and Democrats determined beforehand a candidate's virtues.
    2
  142. British Hong Kong is being reborn as China Hong Kong. Thanks to the young generation of Hong Kongers that gave Beijing excuses for the change.
    2
  143. Had to blame the young generation of Hong Kongers who scared away foreign investors with their anti-China violent protests, riots, burnings and breaking of public properties like MTR. Hong Kong was once a city in chaos that Nancy Pelosi described as a beautiful scene.
    2
  144. Isn't the election about choosing someone that cared about the community only ? So why so bother that the person is a Patriot ?
    2
  145. To the CCP, its better than pro-USA, anti-China rubbish.
    2
  146. Wasn't the young generation of Hong Kongers that rejected the 2 systems of 1997 ? Now they had it worse.
    2
  147. Wrong comparison. Singapore is the financial hub of South East Asia while Hong Kong is a financial hub of China. Both could complement each other.
    2
  148. Colonised ? You meaned those Hong Kongers that fled to Britain ?
    2
  149. ​ @rick7424 Zelensky decided a very bad future for Ukraine. The country could have continued to be a neutral bridge between Russia and the rest of Europe. In the end, it became a war torn, heavy indebted and still a poor corrupted country.
    2
  150. When did sanctions become acceptable form of international politics ? I think it started with USA against North Korea and Cuba in the 1950's and 1960's.
    2
  151. You were mistaken. It is just Russia vs NATO/EU not the whole world.
    2
  152. I do not agree with you. In war, all life matter regardless of educational qualification, civilian or paramilitary or military, newbie or veteran, officers or non-officers.
    2
  153.  @alexamer2898  Excuse me. According to the leaked US documents, it's Ukraine that suffered more casualties than Russia. Orasat would not die from dehydration from crying over dead Russian soldiers.
    2
  154.  @paulgibbon5991  NATO was formed during cold war, Soviet Union era and it had transformed into an offensive alliance.
    2
  155.  @jackthorton10  Same strategy with the Russian against the Ukrainian. Ukraine is paying for every inch of ground. Thus, the term - meat grinder.
    2
  156. Perhaps as mercenary ?
    2
  157. Hatred would compel Palestinians to fight to their bitter end, and its not for the country of Palestine.
    2
  158.  @thegreatdane3627  Russia definitely not using its full force during the last 15 months. Most of the time, its defending. Its still holding on to the 4 regions and Crimea, that's progress to Russia. During this 15 months, Russia conducted military exercises with Belarus, China in Pacific Ocean, Iran in Persian Gulf and South Africa. It even tried to send a rocket to the moon which ended in failure. No idea why Putin refused to mobilize 1 million regulars to Ukraine during the last 15 months to end the war.
    2
  159. Volunteers ? Its more like mercenaries.
    2
  160. They don't have to fight to have a country. Russia is not absorbing Ukraine, unlike Israel absorbing Palestine.
    2
  161. Better than USA.
    2
  162. It's EU citizens money. Not the officials' money. So, no tired of wasting money.
    2
  163. In Military Industrial Complex ?
    2
  164. WW2 and modern warfare demand air superiority which Ukraine lacks, that NATO failed to give support for Ukraine to win over Russia 1930 battle tactics. After 2 years of ground battles, it proved that NATO training was no better than Russia as Ukraine military had reverted back to Soviet doctrine. Russia would win the attrition war.
    2
  165. Operational F 16 after one to two years later.
    2
  166. Bakhmut, the meat grinder again.
    2
  167. Who would thought Rishi Sunak could not save Britain economy from Liz Truss ?
    2
  168. It should not limit to just Ukraine but to all countries that had been invaded for the last 50 years.
    2
  169. Turkey is geographically too important for NATO but religion incorrect for EU. NATO/EU and Serbia have blood feuds, after Serbia suffered 78 days of non-stop aerial bombardments, that also destroyed the Chinese Embassy. NATO/EU have no courage to drive out Hungary.
    2
  170. Because they had won.
    2
  171. Just burn coal, oil and firewoods for winter.
    2
  172. How ironic. Poor Germany just recently overtaken Japan as world's No. 3 economic entity, while not in recession UK slided behind India.
    2
  173. Pay only double ? The French people paid 4 times more expensive than before.
    2
  174. 10/5/24 ( Friday ) 11.54 am. Perhaps Germany could take Poland as an example in considering sending back a few hundred thousand Ukrainians to Ukraine to defend their homeland.
    2
  175. To Andrewadams6905 - You so wrong in your comment. Ukraine wasn't trying to win anything ? Then Zelensky should start peace negotiations with Putin now. No more thinking taking back the 4 regions and Crimea. Russia failed ? The Russo-Ukraine war still on-going, Russia would win the attrition war. Russia lost its image of Superpower ? You mistaken Russia with Soviet Union. Soviet Union was the Superpower, Russia is a regional power. Russia begging North Korea for weapons ? You mistaken Tzar Putin with Beggar Zelensky. Russia buy conventional weapons and ammo from North Korea with money, war tech and fuel. Loot Ukraine village ? What's there to loot when it's been leveled by Russian artilleries ?
    2
  176. You were talking about relationships between USA and China ? As you said - No a single bully ( USA ) can suppress a nation ( China ) that doesn't like to be suppressed, in the long run.
    2
  177. I agreed with you. Even the elite Azov units refused to fight on Zelensky command.
    2
  178. Before USA, EU already approved €50 billion to Ukraine.
    2
  179. Poland could arrange for all Ukrainian men in the country to be send back to help defend their homeland. More soldiers for Ukraine resistance.
    2
  180. As such, its necessary for the Ukrainians to make self sacrifice for Ukraine, not to run away from it. It seemed that Poland had heed Zelensky call to send back Ukrainian men back to defend their homeland. As you said, same rights to life and and freedom that you all love in Europe.
    2
  181. 28/4/24 ( Sunday ) 4.22 pm. Ukrainians that had fled to Europe would not return to defend their homeland. Therefore, its up to the European countries to send all Ukrainian men back to defend Ukraine. Poland is already pondering the idea.
    2
  182. NATO was formed to counter Warsaw Pact. Thus, it should be dissolved with Warsaw Pact when the cold war was over. Instead, it expanded. NATO was supposed to be defensive military organization, but it involved in invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan and now attempted to expand to Asia. NATO had turned evil.
    2
  183. Isn't the world order led by USA and its allies collapsing in progress after the Americans fled from Afghanistan, driven away by Taliban terrorists for the whole world to witness ?
    2
  184. Biden says No.
    2
  185. If USA and UK honoured their guarantee security agreements signed with Ukraine, and send in a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel the Russians, the war would have ended in 2022.
    2
  186. You used the wrong example, USA to stress your point, as the country had benefited from free trades and globalisation for decades. Without free trades, few factories would set up in small towns in USA that offer no profits. Also, there would be no reduces of carbon emissions since USA relies heavily on oil and coal.
    2
  187. There is, when China is doing the selling, at favourable terms, to more developing nations and developed nations.
    2
  188. Latin America would do well with the increase of trades with China. US would be more isolationist ( as you wish ) and do well if US decrease its military spending by 90% and use the money to build, renew and expand its infrastructures.
    2
  189. Or the Mongols.
    2
  190. 17/11/23 ( Friday ) 3.41 pm. USA could not fight 3 wars ( Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel ) because it lacks the courage, will, money, soldiers, weapons and ammo for it. USA could not employ enough soldiers for its military as its citizens are not willing to fight and die. Its government lacked the will to fight long term. The nation's debts already exceeded 33 trillion and increasing. Russia out-manufactured USA in ammo production with China out-built USA in war ships. After US military fled Taliban Afghanistan in 2021, USA failed to protect Ukraine against Russia invasion. Even with guarantee security agreement signed with Ukraine. No hundreds of thousands of formal, professional soldiers were sent. Not even No Fly Zone was set up. Many of its supports to Ukraine were under lend/lease deal. It expected Ukraine to repay with high interest after the war, whether it wins or loses against Russia. Currently, it had cut all aids to Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel. If USA had no courage to fight Russia in Ukraine, likewise it had no courage to engage China on the island of Taiwan where US soldiers would have no place to flee. As for Israel, the country actually doesn't need USA aids in slaughtering Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
    2
  191. I'm sure Ukraine would not be winning at this point, and this war has certainly weakened Europe economy.
    2
  192.  @arcticfoxsa  Imprisoned criminals for war ? Yes. Mercenaries ? No, too expensive. Also, because Ukraine has to beg for money to burn for war and to pay salaries for its government employees.
    2
  193. 1 day, Ukraine may just draft mainly women to continue the war.
    2
  194. For the sake of balance. 1) Ukraine is losing more NATO military equipment than NATO could donate. 2) Ukraine is depleting its donated funds faster than Zelensky could beg. 3) Patience is a tool of Russia. 4) Pretense is the tool Ukraine has.
    2
  195. As long as dictator Zelensky is in power with NATO/EU supports, No peace, only war.
    2
  196. The title should say "EU intentionally cause a famine in Africa".
    2
  197. Since Ukraine would be flying old version of F16. The answer is No chance against S400.
    2
  198. Maybe because it was proven that USA blew up Germany gas pipelines and Ukraine blew up the "Crimea" bridge. So the probability that they were involved in destroying the dam held by Russia, which could just open the flood gates could not be discounted.
    2
  199. You forgot the wolf in the forest is fighting with the big brown bear.
    2
  200. You were misinformed. PLA actually reached Vietnam capital before Chairman Deng decided Vietnam had been "punished" sufficiently, and ordered a withdrawal.
    2
  201. No F35 seen protecting Ukraine airspace either.
    2
  202. LOL. Brotherhood of Russia. Peace through Power.
    2
  203. @phild3936  The Russians held elections, even if it's just for show in the 4 regions and Crimea. So must Ukraine if it wants to go the Russian way.
    2
  204. Not Russia. They see Trump.
    2
  205. Not viable because Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU supports. Without "positive military results", their supports would dry up.
    2
  206. No. It is not a failed state. NATO/EU tried to destroy Russia in 2022 but failed.
    2
  207. You forgot to mention NATO/EU.
    2
  208. Moscow : So far Ukraine needs to mobilize 500,000 Ukrainians to the meat grinders. Where's the Ukrainians ? Ukraine : Somewhere in Europe.
    2
  209. @el_gabron  Why not ? Currently, Ukraine is facing manpower shortage for war, and most of its soldiers were concentrated at the eastern front, trying to prevent Russians from capturing all of Donbass region. That meant Kharkiv will not be heavily defended.
    2
  210. At least for now, he and little black are on the Winning side. If they are on the Right side, they might be just a statistic number of a meat grinder.
    2
  211. Not so. The initial objectives had been achieved. Ukraine is now a non-nuclear, non NATO state.
    2
  212. @kasperiization  Rocket Kim had offered fresh meat but Sauron Tzar Putin has yet to accept.
    2
  213. You're mistaken. Sauron Tzar Putin didn't ask for Rocket Kim for troops.
    2
  214. Ukrainian soldiers life are cheap ( sigh ).
    2
  215.  @danilapolesciuk4316  1. Russia economy was supposed to be destroyed in 2022 by the combined economic sanctions onslaught from USA and Europe. Still remembered Biden wished that the Ruble be turned to waste paper ? They failed miserably. By the end of 2022, Russia economy even outperformed Britain ! After 500 days of battles and sanctions, Russia still remained as World No. 11 economic entity. 2. Russia did not control 100% of the 4 regions. Thus to me, it would always be the "4 regions". Russia was not defeated by Ukraine in the Kherson region, it deliberately withdrew to the other side of the river. Ukraine only re-occupied the area after 1 week of Russia withdrawal. 3. "Coward" NATO is involved in this war by its economic sanctions and diplomatic bullying of Russia. It gave financial and weapons supports to Ukraine wanting Zelensky to drag Russia down to hell with it. NATO is too afraid to send its military to face Russian military in Ukraine. It is too fearful of Russia even to let Ukraine join the organization. You said Russia would not be getting half of Zaporizhia with Zelensky grand counter offensive. Time will tell. However he only have 2 months to accomplish it before winter. Its amazing how you know so little about the war.
    2
  216. I supposed you would be crying over Ukraine inability to take Crimea back. Against all odds, Russia economy survived the superpower NATO/EU economic sanctions onslught. Against USA and 30 other European nations, Russia still managed to control the 4 regions and Crimea from Ukraine's NATO trained military, also equipped with western "wonder" weapons. Zelensky's grand counter offensive had come to a halt. Now, Biden is helping Putin to depopulate Ukraine, by telling Zelensky to use Make in USA cluster bombs in Ukraine against its own people.
    2
  217. This was only the battles of outposts and already 3 out of 12 Ukrainian damaged ? If the battles continue like this, how to break 5 defensive lines that Russia had put up with the remaining 9 brigades ?
    2
  218. Ukrainian soldiers life are cheap.
    2
  219. You know what was a "Costly" Defense ? Bakhmut. Ukraine gave 6 precious months for Russia to train its 500,000 conscripts while sacrificing its own soldiers in the meat grinder.
    2
  220. Yeah. Evil is evil. Let's not forget that when it comes to USA with its 50 years of armed interventions, regimes change, invasions, sanctions and terrorism around the globe.
    2
  221. The offensive is in the early stage and Ukraine had suffered so much losses ? Meat grinder of Bakhmut again.
    2
  222. What do you expect when Biden is senile and Zelensky is a clown ?
    2
  223. You're mistaken. The speed that Zelensky sent Ukrainians to the meat grinders showed that its 10 Ukrainians to 1 Russian.
    2
  224. Perhaps he learnt that bullshit from comedian Zelensky ?
    2
  225. How about Defence Politics Asia ?
    2
  226. So why is Ukraine losing record numbers trying to hold Kursk ?
    2
  227. Common sense ? It's common sense that the Ukrainians are losing, and Ukraine eastern frontline is collapsing.
    2
  228. Didn't a F16 been shot down ?
    2
  229. Putin lost already ? I don't think so. He successfully prevented Ukraine from joining NATO. USA would not be able to deploy nuclear missiles aiming at Moscow. Finland had joined NATO but no NATO forces would be deployed in the country. Putin had shown the world that Russia successfully withstood NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught and robberies. Europe economy was instead suffered by their own sanctions ! How ironic. From the war, the world witnessed that NATO/EU weaponries and military training were not much superior and useful than Russian weapons and military doctrine. Worse, the war exposed the lack of courage by USA to send formal, professional soldiers to defend its ally. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, USA rock solid promises had crumbled. Putin would come out of the war unscathe while Zelensky might be forced into exile for corruption and defeat of Ukraine.
    2
  230. The West cared because Zelensky just keep on begging them for more of everything.
    2
  231. It showed that the Ukrainians were desperate at the frontline. No fortifications or trenches, just flat land.
    2
  232. You forgot to say that during this time, the Ukrainians lost control of Avdiivka, Makiivka, Stepove, Orlivka, Ivaniska, Berdychi and Novomyhailvka.
    2
  233. ​ @Sander-cu4ns  Then again, Napoleon just need to fight a few countries while Putin has to face 31 countries + Ukraine.
    2
  234. Now those Russians were suffering from their beloved West brutal sanctions.....But they could switch to high quality Chinese products.
    2
  235. Because its from USA ?
    2
  236. Money ? It seemed that Russia had allocated 6% of its GDP for military production in 2024 compared to Europe 2%.
    2
  237. Yes. The Ukrainians are currently advancing toward Kiev.
    2
  238. Not really. With pro-Russia Trump in office in Jan 2025, Ukraine currency not even acceptable in NATO and EU, debts piling up, 70% of its GDP gone, losing grounds in the eastern frontline, 200,000 deserters, 10 million refugees in Europe. Russia does seem to be in a positive position when compared to Ukraine.
    2
  239. For your complaint, the "missile strike near a school", as you said. No direct hit to the school.
    2
  240. By contrast, Zelensky had stopped shouting he would be celebrating victory in Crimea. Too quiet of him.
    2
  241. Who also would have thought a few years ago that USA was/still is going the path of USSR ?
    2
  242. Same with Ukraine and the West which cherry picks the facts and overlooks the bigger picture.
    2
  243. He claimed to use CNN and Ukraine's maps as sources for this video. Both western and pro-Ukrainian.
    2
  244.  @harrybacon419  He claimed to use sources from CNN and Ukraine's maps. Also, another commentator claimed that Ukraine is conducting total mobilization for the 15th time. Ukraine is really having manpower shortage for war.
    2
  245. Considered that the grand counter offensive has been going for a month, but the Russia defense lines still remain intact, things not going well for Ukraine.
    2
  246. No problem. NATO/EU just need to give 3 times more weapons and ammo, 3 times faster to Ukraine to fight "evil" Russia.
    2
  247. Yeah, just 3 or 4 more defense lines for Ukraine to breakthrough before winter 2023.
    2
  248.  @fikarrusdiawan9562  In my opinion, he's no racist. Undertaker because many had died. Manufacturer of leg prothesis because of injuries from bombs and mines. Psychiatrist because many traumatised people. Doctors because many wounded in battles or bombardments. Dating events for widows because many husbands and boyfriends died in battles, and Ukraine is being slowly depopulated.
    2
  249. You mistaken. This channel claimed to use sources from CNN and Ukraine's maps for this video, not from Russia. You also mistaken Russia causing troubles in many other countries. Its USA which was, still is the culprit for the last 50 years and now.
    2
  250. Its Ukraine that was been bled dry. It had conducted 15th military mobilizations as compared to Russia's 2 mobilizations. Ukrainian minors and elders are being sent to the frontline. If it continues, Zelensky would be forced to use children soldiers.
    2
  251. This guy claimed to use CNN and Ukraine's map as sources for this video. So the real idiots are Americans and Ukrainians ?
    2
  252.  @firehot427  After Soviet Union collapsed, USA tagged mujahedeen as terrorists.
    2
  253. So is Russia winning ? 1) Ukraine unable to join NATO. 2) Ended Donbass conflict ( 2014 - 2022 ). 3) Annex pro-Russian regions. 4) Used Ukraine to weaken Europe ( Germany, once economic engine of the continent is now a sick man ). 5) Showed the world the unreliability of NATO military assistances, and the overrated superiority of their weapons and training. 6) Ukraine couldn't drive Russia out of the 4 regions and Crimea. 7) Ukraine is running out of money, weapons, ammo, manpower and international media attention for the war. So while I think Russia is winning the attrition war. The war is going great for USA.
    2
  254.  @terjeoseberg990  Demilitarize Russia ? I doubt so. Though Russia is no Soviet Union, its war factories up and running again. Russian weaponries would gradually replace Soviet weaponries. Eg. T90 tanks would replace T72, SU-35 jets would replace SU-27. Also, Russia still has more than 6000 nuclear warheads with USA more than 5000. So how is the world a better place ? As for corrupted Ukraine, its total pooulation has been halved, and would be straddled with heavy debts to repay to USA, IMF etc for the next 100 years after it lose the war. Would Ukraine still be a functional state ?
    2
  255. Still not a win. Biden's goal is to turn Ruble into waste papers.
    2
  256.  @theoldatlas  By then, does the Ukraine artilleries still have plenty of shells to fire ?
    2
  257. Perhaps he values human life more than military hardwares ?
    2
  258. Putin made a mistake for being too "merciful" to the Ukrainians. 24/2/22, he still believed both Russian and Ukrainian are brothers, since they were once part of Soviet Union and Kiev was the birthplace of Rus. If he had been "ruthless" and bombarded Kiev like the Americans bombarded Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Zelensky would not have the guts to walk on the streets of Kiev daring Putin to come for him, inspiring Ukrainians for the resistance. The war might last longer than 3 days but it would have ended in 2022.
    2
  259. Don't worry. Since USA already cut almost all aids to Ukraine, Zelensky might be forced to negotiate for peace with Putin in 2024.
    2
  260. Not for nothing. Russia is been pulled down to hell together with Ukraine just as USA had planned.
    2
  261. Yes, he was sured. Now is Oct 2023, Zelensky grand Summer counter-offensive had failed - No celebrating of victory in Crimea. No viewing of Azov Sea.
    2
  262. Not so. If USA didn't have the courage to honour its guarantee security agreement signed with Ukraine, and deploy Americans to Ukraine in 2022, it won't deploy in 2024.
    2
  263. You forgot that the reverse for Ukraine military is coming near since USA has cut almost all aids to Ukraine, Poland had sanctioned Ukraine's grains, Denmark and Netherlands only donated retired F16 that had served them since 1970's and 1980's, and Germany took offended that 50 Leopard 1 tanks were been refused by Ukraine for been in bad condition ( Germany might not be so generous in future ). Defending forward might become just defending.
    2
  264. No. He didn't say that Russia is winning in the video. He only said that Ukraine summer offensive had failed as at Oct 2023.
    2
  265. Russian bots are quick to gloat ? You might have lost count of time but now is Oct 2023, 3 - 4 months after Zelensky launched his grand counter offensive. No major breakthrough. The video was correct in saying Ukraine had failed in its Summer Offensive.
    2
  266. Let us remember that all that is required to avoid the war, was for Zelensky to continue Ukraine's non-nuclear neutrality status as before. All deaths from 24/2/22 were avoidable.
    2
  267. Arrogance. NATO thought that their standards are better than Soviet/Russian standards.
    2
  268. Not to massacre the entire Ukrainian population, too evil. Just to depopulate it, 50% less would do. And to do what ? To greatly reduce Russia global power with Ukrainian blood. So no need to be annoyed.
    2
  269. If you expand the picture to whole of Europe, you'll see Russia is winning, economically, at least. Compare NATO/EU ( Europe ) and Ukraine vs Russia before 24/2/22 and now, Oct 23.
    2
  270. Not really. USA which recruited and trained the 1st global terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden, still talked about human rights. Its no surprise that Russia lost its bid since it is still at war with Ukraine. Civilians suffer the most in war.
    2
  271.  @unwichtig5647  Blackrock is buying Ukraine's assets cheaply. After the war, regardless of winning or losing, Ukraine would have to repay with high interest for the US lend/lease deal for a hundred year. USA would dictate Ukraine policies through its puppet government. USA imperalism is more potent than Russia.
    2
  272. Replace it with American imperalism.
    2
  273. Let's not forget that Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors to push back the land that Putin still control. This alone is worrisome for Zelensky.
    2
  274. Same with the pro-Ukraine channels, on the cost of the poor people suffering.
    2
  275. Unsustainable cost.
    2
  276. That means only 3 more lines to go before winter 2023.
    2
  277. Not so. Ukraine survival depends on NATO charities. Without it, the war would have been over in 2022.
    2
  278. Perhaps he showed the other side of the counter offensive that other propagandists would not show.
    2
  279. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    2
  280. Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia with it to hell. Rest in pieces.
    2
  281. Ukraine is kicking Russia ass ? At what price ? Most of Ukraine 20 - 40 year old male fighting adults had gone. As for USA entering the Russo-Ukraine war, no need for Russia to pray. USA simply have no courage to fight Russia. Not in 2022, not in 2023 and definitely not in 2024.
    2
  282. In times, ruins could be rebuilt. Natural resources could be exploited.
    2
  283. You forgot to take into account the poor economic situations that Europe is facing to build a stronger military.
    2
  284. Simple as that ? But time is not on Zelensky side. 2 more months before snowfall again, and the 1st Russia defense line has yet to be broken entirely.
    2
  285. Winter too cold.
    2
  286. Zelensky refused to negotiate for peace.
    2
  287. Not so. Its more like 100 Rubles = 1 USD.
    2
  288.  @Losowy  Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia with it to hell. Just looked at how Biden react when Americans were burnt to ashes in Hawaii. If he could be so "cold-blooded" towards its US citizens, how would he react towards Ukrainian and Russian boys death in war ? Gleefully like Nazi.
    2
  289.  @theostragonidis7548  Perhaps you had forgotten that Russia had advanced to near Kiev region in 2022. In the peace negotiation that took place in Turkey, Zelensky "tricked" Putin from withdrawing from that area.
    2
  290. Didn't he showed us reports from Le Monde and other western media, with video clips from Ukrainian soldiers to back his claim ?
    2
  291. Stop be naive. How could western media showed you the success of Ka-52 Alligators ? If there's any.
    2
  292. But they were let down by their leaders and NATO trainers.
    2
  293. Not criminal. Its because Zelensky having manpower shortage for war to take back the 4 regions and Crimea. Why no peace talks or cease fire initiate by USA ? Because Biden don't want to.
    2
  294. Ask yourself why after 1.5 year of war, Ukraine with full supports from 31 countries of NATO/EU could not retake back the 4 regions and Crimea from Russia. Ukraine = Corrupted State.
    2
  295. Biden didn't even try to save American civilians in Hawaii. Nevermind, he'll save them in his dreams.
    2
  296. Wasn't that the reason 4 "banners" of Ukraine brigades were combined into "one" for the offensive ?
    2
  297. Have you forgotten Ukraine bombed Moscow financial area ? Its their karma.
    2
  298. Maybe because Russia had not declare "full" war to Ukraine, just only "special military operation" which Putin, by "law" could not mobilize the whole Russia military against Ukraine.
    2
  299. You could try tuning in on pro-Ukraine channels for the figures.
    2
  300.  @cam0875  You are one of the minority that pointed out, one of the reasons for the outbreak of the war. Most of the commentators just blamed Russia for the invasion without trying to know the causes.
    2
  301. Not surprising since many pro-Ukraine channels trumpeted their "victories" and "highlight" Russian "losses".
    2
  302. There would be a problem if Ukraine plans to sabotage and fight like Poland under occupation, because the 4 regions and Crimea are mostly pro-Russian.
    2
  303. Also, here on planet Earth, the strongest army in the world fled from a bunch of terrorists, and their near bankrupt government had resorted to robbery.
    2
  304. "Most people in the USA and other NATO countries are not chicken s*t cowards" ? Perhaps you didn't know USA and UK dishonoured their guarantee security agreements signed with Ukraine, by not sending hundreds of thousands of their formal, professional soldiers to stop Russia "special military operation". By their inactions and betrayal, both countries showed that they were chicken s*t cowards.
    2
  305. KGB agent vs Comedian ? What a joke.
    2
  306. It's still history. History of Russo-Ukraine battles.
    2
  307.  @kingcorwin1006  1 million reserves ? To bad Ukraine could not use it on its grand counter offensive because its "reserve".
    2
  308.  @kingcorwin1006  As I had said, Ukraine's "high quality" depends on NATO charities.
    2
  309. Quality of Ukraine depends on NATO charities.
    2
  310. It seemed the Russians had regained half of Kursk from the Ukrainians.
    2
  311. The same question could also be asked about the Ukrainian casualties defending that area.
    2
  312. One day perhaps but definitely not soon. Meanwhile, USA have a high chance to collapse in on itself with its 35 trillion USD of debts.
    2
  313. One day, not soon. Maybe another 20 years ? Meanwhile, USA could collapse on itself with the weight of over 35 trillion USD in debts.
    2
  314. One day, not soon. You would have to wait for Putin to die of very old age. Meanwhile, USA might collapse on itself with the weight of over 35 trillion USD in debts.
    2
  315. Simple. Just see which side has net territorial gains.
    2
  316. @Sander-cu4ns  Near Lyman ? I only knew that Heorhiika, Semenivka, Tabka, Tonenke, Buhdanivka, Bilohorivka, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Novomyhailvka, Pervomaike, Soloviove, Netailove and others had fallen to the Russians.
    2
  317. @kalleranta2260  Finland just have to give up 15 military bases to USA, and be a long term frontline enemy of Russia.
    2
  318. @kalleranta2260  Yes. USA was very pleased with the enlargement. Especially when it gained partial control of Finland.
    2
  319. @roelvaneyken211  At least he didn't spin victories like Ukraine do before it happens.
    2
  320. Because he's pro-Russian and they are winning ?
    2
  321. A year ago, in 2023 ? I think you mistaken. Its Zelensky who said that he would be celebrating victory in Crimea after his grand summer counter-offensive concluded. Ukraine even made an advertisement out of it.
    2
  322. Maybe because the comedian President used Ukraine as a background for his laughable tragic comedy ?
    2
  323. You should be asking, "Where are the 500,000 Ukrainian conscripts ?"
    2
  324. According to pro-western media and supporters, Russia had run out of tanks and missiles. Now Russia is using shovels, pickaxe and washing machines chips. Its army is retreating towards Kiev, taking only strategically unimportant settlements.
    2
  325. Perhaps he liked to be on the winning side ?
    2
  326. @jz9944  What's the problem ? Perhaps Russia is using Ukraine to drag down NATO/EU economies, just like NATO/EU tried to use Ukraine to destroy Russia economy. Good odds ? I think so, since Russia economy outperformed Europe during this 2 years of war. No need for China to supply Russia with more armour and ammunition since Russia, alone outproduced NATO/EU. Seems like Ukraine have lost the war.
    2
  327. @jz9944  What's the problem ? Perhaps Russia is using Russo-Ukraine war to drag down NATO/EU economies, just like USA and Europe tried to use Ukraine to destroy Russia but failed. Good odds ? I think so, since Russia economy outperformed Europe economy during this 2 years of war. It seemed that you didn't know Russia outproduced NATO/EU in terms of armour and ammunition. No need to buy armour and ammunition from China. Seemed like Ukraine had lost this war. Will be interesting to see.
    2
  328. Same joke with the Greatest army of the World. As for Ukraine, its true that the Russians were constantly advancing after their victory at Avdiivka.
    2
  329. Compared to early independent years of 1965, there's no deny that Singapore under PAP leadership had progressed a lot. Not even Malaysia could claim "3rd world to 1st".
    2
  330. Genocide of Uyghurs ? What are you talking about ? They experienced population growth. Unlike "Great" Britain in support of "Nazi" Israel in its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It seemed the royal prince kept his mouth shut over the "matter".
    2
  331.  @mikestewart4752  How to gain trust ? Of course by their actions, not only just words.
    2
  332. Even so, those trolls should not attack the family members of the dead.
    2
  333.  @gundam992004  Rejoice. Saudi Arabia and Iran had attained peace through China as mediator.
    2
  334.  @prayasgupta702  It might be USA fault.
    2
  335.  @jiit-6eh  Peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran is real. USA forbids peace between Russia and Ukraine - USA and its NATO allies would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian. Palestine and Israel got too much blood feud for peace. RIP Palestine.
    2
  336.  @White_Wrath  What do muslims so it all the time ?
    2
  337.  @TheBagOfHolding  No country would willingly admit to war crimes. Its the attitude after being exposed that count. In the case of war crimes against Afghanistan by the "democratic alliance", Australia as a whole did not deny its involvement in it which was commendable, unlike USA ( dare to do, dare not admit ).
    2
  338.  @Bambisgf77  How so ? The women of Afghanistan were abandoned by the Americans back to the Taliban when they fled the country. Millions under Saddam might be starving, but at least there were political and social stability in Iraq. Unlike post-Saddam era after USA invasion when the country was broken up, factions of Sunni and Shia fighting among themselves and the forming of Islamic State. Millions were hungry and their human rights nosedived during that period, all thanks to USA and its allies "unlawful" invasion resulting to numerous refugees going to Europe.
    2
  339.  @wlonsdale1  Don't worry, the rest of the world could take care of themselves. As for your country, perhaps UN peacekeepers could take charge.
    2
  340.  @leekichang8359  Afghans are not pure and had committed crimes during the war. However, the main issue was that USA and its allies portrayed itself, as righteous saviour of justice and freedom to save Afghan civilians from the tyrannical evil Taliban overlord.
    2
  341.  @timoaksel9320  What did you expect ? They conquered Afghanistan. In modern warfare history, no one from the victors that had done wrong had been prosecuted.
    2
  342.  @Hoopadeez  Yeah. But China had not engaged in wars for the past 43 years, unlike USA.
    2
  343. @Jeepus Chrysler It takes courage for the government to admit wrong doings committed by the military, especially war crimes. That, itself is commendable.
    2
  344.  @Bekombet  Perhaps for Timor Leste, let bygones be bygones ( no choice ) unless it wants Indonesia to invade the new country again.
    2
  345.  @thehumbleservant21  You should have known that Australia liked to tag along USA in their wars.....
    2
  346. The difference is that the other countries dump "cooling" water, while Japan is going to dump water that had direct "contact" with the melted nuclear core.
    2
  347. Why not ? Since the ocean current bring the treated waste water up north.
    2
  348. Strangely, the Muslim refugees do not go to rich Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia. Instead, they preferred Western European countries.
    2
  349. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian minor.
    2
  350. If that's the sentiments, then Europe should also lift all sanctions against Russia, and returned all illegal confistications of personal assets to its Russian owners.
    2
  351.  @danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk  After a decade of 3 in 1 tragedy of Fukushima, Japanese in Japan are still reluctant to consume produce from the area in large quantity. Soon the country would be classified as "Fukushima", lets see how many Japanese would dare to eat large quantity of seafood from the eastern Honshu and Shikoku region. China had already banned seafood from Japan.
    2
  352. Maybe because the entire Japan is on earthquate zone ?
    2
  353.  @danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk  Same system all nuke plants use for their "cooling" water which might be recycled within the facility, but not not direct nuclear contaminated water which would be released into ocean for the next 30 years.
    2
  354. Putin already 70 years old, how long could he lives ? Remember before 2021 that western media said Russia would not invade Ukraine, due to guarantee security agreements between Ukraine and USA and UK ? Russia proceed with it "special military operation" on 24/2/22, and no USA and UK soldiers were sent to help Ukraine repelled the invasion. Which country in Europe dares to try Putin Russia ?
    2
  355. Its not breaking news. It had done so for years.
    2
  356. He is not an actor, just a comedian.
    2
  357. What we were witnessing is humanity of the dark side.
    2
  358. Of course he's part of the battle as he was one of tne factors that caused the Russo-Ukraine war.
    2
  359.  @sebastianwrites  You might have forgotten this is war. USA had also committed crimes against humanity in its decades of armed conflicts and invasions around the world.
    2
  360. It had. Russia only wanted the 4 regions and Crimea instead of whole of Ukraine.
    2
  361. Pay in instalments with high interest. Britain spent a few decades paying back WW2 debts to USA. Ukraine would spend a century or more to pay debts after Zelensky.
    2
  362. 12 years ago, the collective west broke Syria. Now, the west suffered for their sins.
    2
  363.  @Inkan1969  Not so. Ukraine had already gone through 11 military mobilization conscripting minors and seniors for war. This showed that Ukraine is having manpower problems.
    2
  364. Most likely, like Ukraine except NATO is tired of Ukraine so Kosovo might not received much help from NATO.
    2
  365. Perhaps you did not know that USA was planning to put nukes in Ukraine, after it joined NATO which Russia had repeatedly against it. Have you heard of Cuba crisis ? Even USA could not tolerate nukes to be put in Cuba and threatened war. Its just that Zelensky did not learn the lesson after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 that Russia was very serious in war.
    2
  366. Worse. They're not towns, just small farming villages. Its not a mid semester progress report, just weekly test results.
    2
  367. Stop shouting empty slogan. Its clear to the world that NATO/EU did not have the courage to fight for Ukraine's freedom and democracy.
    2
  368. You wanted Ukraine to invade Russia proper without further NATO/EU supports ? So you wanted Ukraine to commit suicide.
    2
  369.  @chavezchavo  Then fight ! No peace ! Just like the ill-equipped Talibans who fought the Americans for the last 20 years, Ukraine could also sacrifice one generation of its people for a chance to take back the lost lands, provide that NATO/EU are willing to sponsor its war for the next 20 years.
    2
  370.  @chavezchavo  You already acknowledged "this offensive is NOT on Ukrainian side", "this offensive is going nowhere". Thus, in your posting, you implied that Ukrainians could not take back the 4 regions and Crimea, even with NATO/EU supports. Thetefore, Ukraine should cut its losses and have peaceful co-existence with Russia.
    2
  371.  @davidty2006  Even with all these issues, Ukraine still got hammered by Russia.
    2
  372. Because of "tactical retreat" to finish the sentence ?
    2
  373. Not paused ? You meant that the most advertised and talked about grand counter offensive in the history of modern warfare, for the last 6 months had ended ?
    2
  374. Ukraine cannot do whatever, time is not on their side as it is entirely dependent on NATO/EU supports to fight Russia. Ukraine could not conserve resources and manpower, because it needs to show NATO/EU that it could drive Russia out of Ukraine. Russia has an easier time replenishing their losses.
    2
  375. Can't blame Zelensky. NATO/EU demanded results for their "contributions".
    2
  376. Have you seen the name of the news "broadcaster" ? Its called TLDR News EU and you expected it to be neutral ?
    2
  377. Should have done analysing war tactics and enemy intel before the start of the grand counter offensive. Its just an excuse for failure.
    2
  378. Same with Russia. It has yet fully deploy its 500,000 conscripts to the war.
    2
  379. Special military operation ?
    2
  380. B52's would have to fend for itself after its escorts engage in aerial fights with Russia SU/MIG planes, and S400 that Russia would deploy in Ukraine. No chance to release them to the designated targets.
    1
  381. Time is needed to prepare for a full scale war like Iraq. By the time USA start its invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine defenses would be upgraded with S400, SU35, T90 and Wagner from Russia.
    1
  382. You forgot to add in the lack of willingness and courage of the soldiers to fight and die in war, with the blessing of USA society. After the lost of Korean war when the ill-equipped Chinese army drove the American out of North Korea, USA lost the ability to win decisive wars on its own.
    1
  383. It also showed the world that NATO had been lying that it was a defensive military organization, which in fact it is an offensive organization.
    1
  384.  @xt7519  You misunderstood. I was talking about USA invasion of Ukraine supported by Russia.
    1
  385. You talked about logistics. If USA takes the place of Russia and is the neighbour of Ukraine. It would be no contest. But if USA attacks from North America, I doubt Europe would agree that the continent be a staging ground for invasion. Then USA could only attack from the Black Sea, with the consent from Turkey. If not, it would be impossible for USA to launch a full scale invasion against a Russia supported Ukraine.
    1
  386. Then you would be arrested and charged with treason.
    1
  387. By the morning, it would be bloody battles as the Russo-Ukraine forces would have encircle the US captured logistical and strategic targets. The US air force would have to fight through the No Fly Zone set up by Russia to aid those trapped deep inside Ukraine.
    1
  388. The answer is "Hell No" because Europe would not allow the continent to be the staging area, for the full scale USA invasion against Russia supported Ukraine. Turkey would also not allow USA to launch its invasion from the Black Sea.
    1
  389. With no ammo and no fuel for the tank, you would be nailed on the cross by the Romans for heresy.
    1
  390. In the end, USA abandoned the people of Afghanistan back to Taliban for the whole world to witness.
    1
  391. You also seemed to forget US forces fled from Afghanistan, and returned the country to the terrorist group it vowed to destroy.
    1
  392. Trying not to provoke an all out war with Russia ? After signing a guarantee security agreement with Ukraine. USA was obligated to send its military into Ukraine to repel Russia invasion. By not setting up even a No Fly Zone in Ukraine, it showed that USA had no courage to face Russia. Perhaps Taliban had terrorized USA too much.........
    1
  393. Its hard to say. On paper, its more capable than Russian Air Force. But the fact that it had no courage for a No Fly Zone over Ukraine air space......
    1
  394. If USA attacks Ukraine, Ukraine would beg Russia for help which it would give generously, unlike USA. Thus, Ukraine military might be upgraded with SU/MIG planes, S400 anti-air missiles, T90 tanks and even Wagner mercenaries.
    1
  395. May not be.
    1
  396. That depends whether NATO countries in Europe and Turkey are willing to let USA, use their country to be the launching pad, and open their air space and sea for the invasion of Ukraine by USA. If not, USA would not be able to attack Ukraine.
    1
  397. This is a hypothetical invasion that would not happen, because Europe would not allow the continent be the staging area for the invasion. So would Turkey not permit USA to strike Russia supported Ukraine from Black Sea.
    1
  398.  @robertlynch1834  You need not worry about Russia future. Since Europe had ostracised and rejected Russia except for Serbia and Hungary, Russia would look east and be a powerful "Canada" partner of China. Don't say Russia is a paper pussy cat because USA has no courage to face Russia in Ukraine. Taliban clearly had terrorized USA military. You recommended Joe Bloggs video to me, its OK for him to use Russia statistics to prove his point, but not OK for the 3 international institutes to use Russia statistics to prove theirs. Don't be so biased. I knew you did not see the comments of Joe Bloggs video, as the commentator pointed out of his inaccuracy of 2022 in the comment section.
    1
  399.  @robertlynch1834 If you re-read my earlier reply to you, you would realize the leaving of the best and brightest from Russia, would have ( little ) impact to the ( current ) Russia economy since it is ( resources ) based ( more than just oil and gas ). You impled that the best and brightest only meant for extracting oil and gas from the ground. Just look at your post ( point two ). Most of it was regarding about extracting oil and gas. As for innovation, research and development. It takes time for the effect to be known. By then, the Russo-Ukraine war could be over. I've seen Joe Blogs video. Based on Russia statistics, he foretold possible economic disaster for Russia in 2023. Strange that 3 international institutes think otherwise in the same video, forecasting only minus 2.5% to even positive 0.7% GDP growth after sanctions. We would see which side is right after a few months. But then, Joe Blogs had been proven wrong in 2022 as pointed out by another commentator.
    1
  400.  @robertlynch1834  So you had seen your mistakes that the "best and brightest" isn't just about taking oil and gas. Its quite funny you showed me video of Covert Cabal for "economy" lesson.
    1
  401.  @robertlynch1834  I agree with you that 800 billion is a big sum of money, and its ashame that USA does not want to reduce military spending even it is heavily in debts of 31.5 trillion. USA looks like sunset Soviet Union. I think we have different definition of the "best and brightest". To you, its only the ability of extracting oil and gas from the ground.......... You were so emotional in point 3 since Russia economy still remains intact for the world to see, and its currency was not reduce to waste paper as Biden had wanted, even though Russia was kicked out of SWIFT system. Their economy might not be G8 but its still G10. NATO/EU sanctions against Russia had failed and they are in troubles from the backlash.
    1
  402.  @robertlynch1834  Its unfortunate that 31.5 trillion of debts would not affect 800 billion US military spending in peaceful times. It reminds me of Soviet Union. The best and brightest might have left Russia, but it would have little impact to its current economy since the country's economy is mostly resources based. Putin government would take the tab for the hundreds of billions in lost arms sales as he expands the military. China and the rest of the world would replace Europe market that Russia had lost. However, the same could not be said to Europe for the loss of cheap energy provider. Russia had survived NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught and it would use the money to win the attrition war. Also, Russia even managed to repay 20% of its external debts while fighting Ukraine. A feat that USA could not achieve during its invasions and armed conflicts around the world.
    1
  403. You missed a factor for war, Money. War burns tons of money fast. With 31.5 trillion in debts and facing bankruptcy in July 2023. USA could not launch any war. Unless in the parallel universe, USA is debt free before the war.
    1
  404. In this case, its Ukraine supported by Russia.
    1
  405. Yeah. USA military has no courage to face the militaries of Russia and China.
    1
  406. How to quantify cause, heroism and other human factors ? For example : Zelensky. He was brave in staying in Kiev and not flee from Russia invasion, but he was not brave in opposing USA from peace negotations interferences between Ukraine and Russia in 2022.
    1
  407. You forgot to think that cooperations from NATO countries in Europe and Turkey ard essential. Without their consents to let USA use their countries as a launching pad for the invasion ( air space and sea routes included ), USA would not be able to invade Ukraine.
    1
  408. It should be "would the largest military in the world, win against Ukraine that is supported by Russia and China" ?
    1
  409. If Ukraine had sided with Russia and agreed to deploy nuclear weapons in its border against NATO, like in Cuba crisis. Would USA not attack ?
    1
  410. The preparation for the full scale USA invasion would take a long time like Iraq. By then, Ukraine military would have upgraded with SU/MIG planes, S400 anti-air missiles, T90 tanks and Wagner mercenaries. 5 days war might extend to 500 days.
    1
  411. The nation would be China. USA is already engaging it in trade war, chips war, high tech war and whatever non-military war to slow down China from surpassing USA. I wondered when would USA be able to repay over 800 billion USD back to China, with interest ?
    1
  412.  @sH-ed5yf  Yeah. Just a few more years of full supports of everything from NATO/EU ( USA must issue blank cheque ) and Ukraine could win the war.
    1
  413. What a way to persuade Belarus to invade Ukraine.
    1
  414. In 2024, after 7 months of the original comment, the Rubles exchange rate stabilize at 92 plus to 1 USD. No sign of crashing.
    1
  415. With the abandonment of Ukraine by USA in favour of Nazi Israel, Russia might be celebrating victory from the Russia-centric peace negotiations from Ukraine, 1 year from now. Tzar Putin would have the last laugh over Beggar Zelensky.
    1
  416. Tactical nukes ?
    1
  417. Not stupid. Its called recycling.
    1
  418. To Russia, perhaps it doesn't need so much practical accuracy. Example, if the Russians knew a few Ukrainian fighters inside a room, they just blow up the house.
    1
  419. Yeah. After Poland sanctioned Ukraine's grains and not sending weapons to Ukraine anymore.
    1
  420.  @sH-ed5yf  Comedian Zelensky is a fool to instigate Russia to attack a 2nd time. He did not learnt from Crimea annexation that Putin was very serious about threats of war.
    1
  421. Zelensky gave Putin, 6 months to train the new crews, when he postphoned his grand counter-offensive from winter 2022 to spring to summer 2023.
    1
  422. Poland had proposed of sending back Ukrainian refugees for Zelensky to draft conscripts to the front lines.
    1
  423. It seemed that Russia would get artilleries supports from North Korea.
    1
  424. 27/9/23 ( Wednesday ) 6.00 pm. I don't think Russia would run out of artilleries, after North Korea joined in to provide conventional artilleries and shells to Russia. It also had decades of storage.
    1
  425. Same for Ukraine. Could Ukraine military hold out for another 2 years since it needs almost everything from the West, even money.
    1
  426. @Koza_Cara  I'm not sure about some battles that you mentioned, but Russia was tricked to withdraw from Kiev after the peace negotiations that took place at Turkey. As for Kherson, international news had broadcasted that the Russians voluntarily withdrew to the other side of the river. The Ukrainians took 1 week to occupy the abandoned territory, fearing ambush from the Russians. As for Ukraine airspace, though Russia couldn't gain total air superiority, Ukraine still couldn't stop Russia from bombing its territories. Though Russia had suffered greatly from NATO/EU economic sanctions, illegal frozen and confiscation of personal assets and foreign reserve, its economy survive. The West failed to create internal turmoil in Russia that toppled the Soviet Union. At the same time, however, Europe economy suffered from Russia economic counter-sanctions backlash.
    1
  427. Yet, the content of the video seemed neutral.
    1
  428. Same with Europe economic future. EU had entered night time.
    1
  429. 10/6/24 ( Monday ) 1.41 pm. Turkey had been waiting to join EU for over 20 years ! Since EU rejected Turkey, it turned East to join a brighter future BRICS.
    1
  430. You forgot that the EU had rejected Turkey inclusion for over 20 years.
    1
  431. 29/4/24 ( Monday ) 4.27 pm. 6 months after the video, Palestinians faced the worst case scenario. Gaza Strip been leveled, its inhabitants slaughtered, including reporters and UN staffs.
    1
  432. Like North Korea, Pakistan would not give up nuclear missiles because India would have takeover Pakistan or at least Kashmir.
    1
  433. For the highly educated Pakistani people, maybe yes, maybe no. Yes, when they know their national debts are 26 billion. No, when they know USA debts amounted to 31.5 trillion and the country still functioning.
    1
  434. What about CIA since it recruited and trained the world 1st terrorist - Osama bin Laden ?
    1
  435. You've mistaken. The country of origin is USA which recruited and trained the world 1st terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden.
    1
  436. India and Pakistan were once part of British India until religion intolerance tore them apart.
    1
  437. No choice. The collective West dominated by Anglo-Saxon are even more evil sociopathic greedy governments than CCP.
    1
  438. You've mistaken. Indonesia is the world largest Islamic country with Hinduism limited to the island of Bali. Also, if the soul and blood of people of Pakistan is Hinduism, there would not have seperation of British India into India and Pakistan.
    1
  439. Not so. I am not sure of Pakistan but for Iran, it was wrongly sanctioned by USA during Donald Trump era. For Iraq, the world knew USA invaded and broken the country. Same with Afghanistan except the American fled from it after 20 years of occupation.
    1
  440. Countries in Asia, Africa, Latin/South America, Russia, Australia and New Zealand are using the currency to trade.
    1
  441. No need to replace, just lower its status quo would do.
    1
  442. Every major central banks in the world dislike bitcoin.
    1
  443. For the capitalists and bosses of the world, they don't care whether the country is democratic or not. As long as they could make profits. Eg : Tesla.
    1
  444. Its USA which was the aggressor of the world for the past 50 years with its armed interventions, regimes change, invasions and sanctions.
    1
  445. Same with the western investments and technologies - a very big market like China. USA with its MAGA policies, no longer profitable as in the past.
    1
  446. Well, even USA democracy is becoming more dictatorial ( Donald Trump ).
    1
  447. Not really, after peace was attained with Iran through China mediation. Also, USA is now a serious competitor, not buyer of Saudi Arabia's oil.
    1
  448. In times to come - Asia, Russia, Africa, Latin/South America, Australia and New Zealand would accept RMB even if NATO/EU rejected it.
    1
  449.  @antonysmyth2464  Over 50 years ? That was before China formally joined WTO, before handover of Hong Kong and Macau back to China, before Chairman Deng opened China to the world, even before Vietnam war ! You were not rational and could not be reasoned with.
    1
  450.  @antonysmyth2464  Have you not read international news ? Countries around the world complained about USA rampant printing of USD, increase borrowing, increase banking rates of interest at unprecedented frequencies. All these US measures caused instability in global finance and spikes in inflation which hurt global economies. Especially the world just got through COVID-19.
    1
  451.  @antonysmyth2464  The rest of the world disapproved of USA rampant, unresponsible printing of money. With its actions, USD should be devalued but did not. USA answered to the world disgruntled was - USA currency but the world problem.
    1
  452. Not so. USA had shown to the world that it could anyhow print billions and trillions of its own currency.
    1
  453. In the current situations in USA, the Americans even disliked/hated the Chinese that don't trust CCP.
    1
  454. Like Afghanistan foreign reserves robbed by USA - What's yours are mine.
    1
  455. Same could be said about EU.
    1
  456. Better be prepared for stormy days ahead as USA economy declines, debts ballooned, inflation increased and others.
    1
  457. So, it might be the tears of joy that they are not going to the front.
    1
  458. You're wrong. If not for USA supremacy over NATO in Europe, and the lack of courage from the European leaders after Angela Merkel to stand up to USA, Europe and Russia would not be mortal enemy.
    1
  459. Which means that NCO would surrender with his squad in the heat of battles.
    1
  460.  @dieselboy610  You should really thank the Ukrainians to fight a lonely fight after USA dishonoured its guarantee security agreement with Ukraine.
    1
  461. Since its Zelensky who are conscripting minors for war, he should initiate peace talks with Putin to end the war.
    1
  462. Only NATO/EU are behind Ukraine, with conditions while the rest of the world of BRICS, OPEC+, ASEAN, CIS and African Union are neutral or supportive of Russia. Since NATO/EU are fighting Russia with Ukrainian blood, Ukraine would lose the attrition war.
    1
  463. Not some but all will never return home as Ukraine begins its much advertised, talked about and anticipated counter offensive reality shows of modern warfare.
    1
  464. Odd to hear that, when its Zelensky that continued to send men to die in Bakhmut even when its clear Ukraine had lost it to Wagner mercenaries, while Russia employed them to do the heavy fighting instead of using the conscripts.
    1
  465. Really ? That means those Spanish soldiers would be sent to Ukraine shortly after to fight and die. No wonder they cried.
    1
  466. Thus, NATO/EU are fighting with Russia till the last Ukrainian.
    1
  467. Rest in Peace.
    1
  468. Which evil ? Only NATO/EU is fighting Russia till the last Ukrainian while the rest of the world of BRICS, OPEC+, CIS and African Union are against USA.
    1
  469. Are you referring to the Palestinians ?
    1
  470. You forgot to mention USA as both countries had given guarantee security agreements to Ukraine.
    1
  471. Aren't those Ukrainians trained in Spain for a few months ?
    1
  472. Zelensky should initiate peace talks with Putin to end the war.
    1
  473. Not interfering. NATO/EU are fighting Russia till the last abled Ukrainian in Ukraine.
    1
  474. How so ? Russia successfully fended of NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught to Russia. Russia economy did not collapse. Its currency did not turn to waste paper that Biden had wanted.
    1
  475. Don't give them false hopes. Most likely those Ukrainian soldiers would return back in body bags, if not blown to pieces.
    1
  476. Thus, those Spanish soldiers dare not go to Ukraine.
    1
  477. Ukrainian to Spanish brother : " Want to come with me to Ukraine ? " Spanish to Ukrainian brother : " You go first, we'll meet again. " ( after 60 years, on the other side )
    1
  478. For obeying USA.
    1
  479. That means they are not family as those Spanish soldiers did not go with them to Ukraine to fight shoulder to shoulder.
    1
  480. Ever onward to final destination !
    1
  481. Yes. NATO/EU is fighting Russia till the last Ukrainian.
    1
  482. Thus, those Spanish soldiers are not true warriors as they did not go to Ukraine to fight and die.
    1
  483. As such, Europeans should stand together in defiance of US supremacy over Europe.
    1
  484. Because those Spanish soldiers knew the trained Ukrainian soldiers would most likely end up in body bags as they send them off.
    1
  485.  @Spanish_Patriot  Really ? Canada is becoming like Russia ? How so ?
    1
  486.  @Spanish_Patriot  Not so. Its more like Canada.
    1
  487. Most likely death.
    1
  488. Are those Spanish soldiers going to fight in Ukraine as volunteers ?
    1
  489. Europe welcomed refugees from Ukraine but not from Afghanistan, Middle East and Africa.
    1
  490. So they are crying for lack of courage to go fight with their counterparts.
    1
  491. For western Europe, it is the first time after WW2 that war erupted in continental Europe.
    1
  492. 1 human vs 1000 Orcs ? The human would flee as fast as he could, as much his heart would beat.
    1
  493. They're crying because they probably might be ask to volunteer to fight alongside them. You're right. That's not what these guys need to hear right now.
    1
  494. Still Zelensky refused peace negotiations with Putin.
    1
  495. Zelensky should start peace negotiations with Russia.
    1
  496. Not so. Those Spanish soldiers did not go with them to fight and die in Ukraine.
    1
  497. Unfortunately, the comedian Zelensky just keep sending Ukrainians to die in Bakhmut until it fell to Wagner mercenaries.
    1
  498. The Russo-Ukraine attrition war would end when either Ukraine retakes the 4 regions and Crimea, or NATO/EU stop full supports to Ukraine.
    1
  499.  @taffyterrier  As I said before, still qualified doctor.
    1
  500. The protest was about salary. From a placard in the video, they were asking to be paid £14/hr. If a junior doctor works 10hr/day, that amounts to £4200 plus per month. Not unreasonable salary for a doctor, is it ? Well, they might be just junior doctor, but still qualified doctor.
    1
  501. From the placard of the video, they were only asking £14/hr which translate to £4200/mth if a junior doctor works 10 hr/day. How greedy is that ?
    1
  502.  @taffyterrier £19/hour ? So that would mean £5700/month for 10 hours daily works. What is the standard of living in present day Britain under Rishi Sunak ? Is it reasonable for the junior doctors to demand that amount ?
    1
  503.  @taffyterrier  From the placard that one of the junior doctor was holding, they were asking that much.
    1
  504. From the video, they were only asking for £14/hr. Not unreasonable, is it ? Definitely not silver spoon.
    1
  505. NATO/EU are fighting Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  506. Zelensky would talk peace after the 4 regions and Crimea have been recovered, or NATO/EU stop supporting Ukraine, which ever comes first.
    1
  507. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian minor.
    1
  508.  @RaRa-eu9mw  Economy shrank or grew. At least Russia survived NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught and personal assets robberies. Its currency was not reduced to waste paper that Biden had wished for.
    1
  509. Not a needless war. USA got to profit from the war. At the same time, weaken Putin Russia.
    1
  510. What is Ukrainian military waiting for ? Winter, so that they could stop the counter-offensive.
    1
  511. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian minors.
    1
  512. Because Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia with it to hell. Once Ukraine succeed in dratiscally weaken Russia, it could rest in pieces.
    1
  513.  @steveprocter6241  I was just replying to your "then ?" question.
    1
  514.  @steveprocter6241  Russia could use rockets, missiles and drones.
    1
  515. Not counter productive. Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia with it to hell. After Ukraine accomplish the mission, it could rest in pieces.
    1
  516. Maybe because for the last 20 years, USA only invade "lonely" Iraq and Afghanistan. On the other hand, Russia is currently fighting Ukraine that have the supports ( militarily, financially and diplomatically ) of NATO/EU.
    1
  517. Still got half of the most combatant Ukrainian to fight to their last breath.
    1
  518. 4 weeks after your comment, the Ukrainians are still moving forward but too slow. Winter is coming and with all aids from USA been cut, Ukraine might lose all gains in 2024.
    1
  519. 1 month after your comment. Putin got his wish as USA had cut all aids to Ukraine.
    1
  520. 4 weeks after your comment, we were informed that USA is cutting all aids to Ukraine. Big success for Ukraine on battlefield ? Its more like Russia now.
    1
  521. Yeah. Then Putin would have excuses to declare "full scale war" to Ukraine, not just "special military operation". It could then mobilize its 1 million regular soldiers to the front lines. Like Ukraine, 16 to 60 year old Russian to undergo basic military training before standby for deployment.
    1
  522. Yeah. Especially no more aids from USA to Ukraine.
    1
  523. 22/12/24 ( Sunday ) 9.20 am. From advertising worldwide that Zelensky would celebrate Victory in Crimea after the grand summer counter-offensive in 2023, to admit that Ukrainians could not "push back" Russians from occupied territories. That's more humiliating than the 3 days to 3 years of war from Russia.
    1
  524. Not just Kremlin, even NATO thinks that way. It only gave limited defensive weapons and ammo to Ukraine, and made it clear to Zelensky that those weapons could only be used in Ukraine battleground. Soon, it would be Make In USA cluster bombs killing Ukrainian civilians.
    1
  525. The invasion was not for revenge. USA Vice-President Kamala formally invited Ukraine to join NATO in Nov 2021 ( Putin opposed ) and later to deploy nuclear weapons in it ( Putin furious ). Remember Cuba Crisis ? USA could not tolerate Cuba having Soviet nuclear missiles and threatened invasion. Same with Russia against Ukraine. Its just that the comedian president Zelensky did not learn from annexation of Crimea in 2014, that Putin was very serious in his threats of invasion which led to the tragedies of Ukrainians.
    1
  526. Its your wish but in reality, Biden is helping Putin to depopulate Ukraine by giving Zelensky, cluster bombs to be used only in Ukraine.
    1
  527. Perhaps because it is not so "terrorist" like USA which recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be the world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  528. The Americans called it "Collatorial Damage".
    1
  529. By your logic, Ukraine in future need to strike USA, since its president dishonoured the guarantee security agreement signed with Ukraine, by not sending formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine against Russia. Also, it refused to give offensive weapons and ammo, only limited defensive. Now its president, Biden is helping Putin to depopulate Ukraine by giving cluster bombs to Zelensky, to be used only in Ukraine against its own people. Ukraine need to revenge against the terrorist state of USA.
    1
  530. @TheRealIdiotIsntHere Russia is not lucky. Ukraine had been ordered not to attack Russia proper. Once Donald Trump win the election, he would stop supporting Zelensky, forcing him to negotiate peace with Putin.
    1
  531. No harpoon missiles. Only cluster bombs to be used only in Ukraine.
    1
  532. Its Ukraine that sucks. No NATO leaders want to be associated with Zelensky during the summit.
    1
  533.  @RRRRR15  Credit Suisse frozen "Russian accounts" during the earlier days of the war.
    1
  534. Same with the West and Ukraine.
    1
  535. Putin could visit Brazil.
    1
  536. Then USA backstabbed Ukraine.
    1
  537. With USA cutting its aids to Ukraine, the 4 regions and Crimea would continue to be in Putin's hands.
    1
  538. Compared to how USA bombarded Iraq.......are you happy USA is your friend ?
    1
  539. Putin just want the pro-Russian regions and to avoid the repeat of possible 2nd Afghanistan failure.
    1
  540. USA wanted Ukraine to stop by cutting its aids to them.
    1
  541. Zelensky would not recover Crimea from Putin.
    1
  542. You should scold USA for cutting aids to Ukraine. USA had already dishonoured its "rock solid" guarantee security agreement signed with Ukriane, and now this betrayal ? Disgusting.
    1
  543. You forgot that Russia had experienced democracy and freedom for 10 years under Gorbachev and Yeltsin. To the Russians, freedom is chaos.
    1
  544. Same with Europe. I doubt politicians and religion leaders would allow freedom of preaching Islam in Christianity Europe.
    1
  545. Yet, United Nation nor any institutions failed to urge governments and scientists around the world, to tackle and help Japan with viable solutions and resources to solve "global water problem". In the end, future humanity suffer.
    1
  546. Never mind her. She is just an opportunistist using climate protection to garner fame.
    1
  547. Not just sushi, but all seafood in Japan.
    1
  548. If she didn't "complain" when Europe is burning lignite, coal and firewoods during winter 2022, tearing its agreement to prevent climate warming, she won't "scold" Japan for dumping "safe" water into the ocean.
    1
  549. A description of Humanity.
    1
  550. Since its "safe" but nobody believe it, why not use the water to put out "global fires" ? Example, Canada wild fires.
    1
  551. Maybe, perhaps they are afraid of answering their own country climate protection failures.
    1
  552. Same as hypocrites as Europe which burned lignite, coal and firewoods during winter 2022 after promising to prevent climate warming.
    1
  553. No country dares to do so ? European countries just broke its vow to prevent climate warming in winter 2022 by burning lignite, coal and firewoods. Europe even classified firewoods as renewable energy. So in summer 2023, "huge wild fires here, huge flooding there".
    1
  554. Not just stop eating fish, but all seafood.
    1
  555. Same with Europeans.
    1
  556. Could have deposit on the moon as fuel for future Japan space travel.
    1
  557. Maybe USA frustrated its anger on Russia by ordering Germany to close consulates since China refused to hold any talks with USA.
    1
  558. Its the other way round. Russia or Soviet Union had been supplying cheap energy to NATO/EU even during Cold war. Russia even showed interest in joining NATO but was rejected because its "Russia" and it was kicked out of G8. Its NATO/EU that's unfriendly and hostile to Russia, even before the war started.
    1
  559. Bad decision for the Germans.
    1
  560.  @BewareOfTheKraut  Because USA did not order Germany to ?
    1
  561. @Null Pointer So, next in line would be CIA espionage centers.
    1
  562. USA interests are war in Europe, so as to profit from war and a weak Russia. This works toward both.
    1
  563. Next are CIA centers to close.
    1
  564. Since Germany has been waiting since WW2, Germany should declare war on Russia and bring the might of NATO into Russia. THIS IS IT GUYS.
    1
  565. Russia not punch Germany but Germany punches Russia. Russia : "Why". Germany : "USA orders".
    1
  566. Most countries in Europe had already isolated from Russia since 2022, when they launched an all out economic sanctions to destroy Russia economy.
    1
  567. Then let the east Germans have independence, don't need them.
    1
  568. What a shame that Germany did not even protest in UN after its property was blew up. Germany should have appealed for a thorough investigations in UN for the terrorism. In the end, its Russia which appealed for the investigations but the motion was turned down by USA. Ironic is it ? But through their actions in UN, its clear to the world that Germany was backstabbed by its ally, USA and Germany was too weak to do anything about it.
    1
  569. Yeah. If Germany closed down USA consulates 15 months ago, perhaps their gas pipelines would not have bombed and their leaders not spied on.
    1
  570. As you said " the world sat and watched Russia collapse last time.........". The world and especially the collective West had failed democratic Russia without helping it during its time of need. Now the west reaped what it sowed.
    1
  571. Same with USA.
    1
  572.  @neilclark8087  Isn't Britain more obedient to USA than France ?
    1
  573. Unfortunately, Germany is going the way of Britain instead of more independent France.
    1
  574. Vice versa with NATO/EU.
    1
  575. So do humans.
    1
  576. How could you say like that when its USA that recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be world 1st terrorist leader ? Stop being bias.
    1
  577. USA : How dare Russia stole my line !
    1
  578. Not so. That title belongs to Ukraine since Zelensky is still a comedian.
    1
  579. Need to adjust factory settings without cheap energy from Russia.
    1
  580. The world excluding NATO/EU disagree with it.
    1
  581. Then after crying, Russia punch back.
    1
  582. Next, do it to USA to lessen their spying activities in Germany.
    1
  583. Because they were waiting for USA instructions.
    1
  584. Cause and effect ? Aren't NATO/EU already in proxy war against Russia ?
    1
  585. You forgot to say USA, Britain and France which occupied West Germany since WW2.
    1
  586. Next in line, American diplomats.
    1
  587. Not so. Russia might end up like Canada with a stronger military.
    1
  588. Then the same treatment should give to USA as it is bloody of war for over 50 years, and carelessly raised interest rates that hurt the world economy.
    1
  589. Same treatment for CIA spy centers.
    1
  590. "They sure are a whiny, jealous and weak ( poor ) nation", you are talking about USA ? "For a culture that only values power, strength and dominance", you are talking about USA !
    1
  591. Russia called the bombing of Moscow terrorism because USA forbids Ukraine from attacking Russia. The Russo-Ukraine war could only be on Ukraine soil.
    1
  592. Not when your boss told you to be unfriendly to your once business partner, not necessary but no choice.
    1
  593. Waking up to be a vessal of USA.
    1
  594. Because USA hasn't order them to.
    1
  595. Picked a side that deindustrialized Germany industries. Good for USA.
    1
  596. So do NATO/EU.
    1
  597. Not so. Only NATO/EU is having proxy war with Russia while the rest of the world is neutral or supportive of it.
    1
  598. Bias of Germany to target Russia only since USA is also trying to illegally influence German politics, had spied on German leaders and bombed Germany property of the gas pipelines. It is the only country that had used nuclear attacks, even bringing the "nuclear arsenal activation suitcase" to Hiroshima on its nuclear holocaust anniversary. USA had lied to UN and invaded Iraq illegally.
    1
  599. It depends which side wins the attrition war.
    1
  600. So it Rishi Sunak turn to close Russia consulates/embassy. If he dares not, scold him.
    1
  601. The rest of the world ? Do nothing. Just like the world tolerated USA armed interventions, regimes change, invasions and terrorism around the world for the past 50 years.
    1
  602.  @WestOfEarth  Oh, only Russia but not other country that tried to pretend world affairs should go on as if it hadn't started a war by invading a sovereign nation.
    1
  603. USA had been doing the same things for the past 50 years.
    1
  604. All politicians in NATO in Europe should be fired as they chose to be obedient to USA which is not Europe friendly.
    1
  605. Have you forgotten Russians have took their future into their own hands during Gorbachev and Yeltsin era of democratic Russia ? But the collective West neglected them when their democracy was vulnerable, resulting in the rise of Putin. Also, Ukraine refused peace process with Russia.
    1
  606. It is all for the better for Germany to be a vessal state of USA.
    1
  607. Perhaps only NATO/EU but not to the rest of the world.
    1
  608. At least Putin brought stability to the society and economic growth to Russia, after the chaotic era of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. Thus, he was a hero to the older generation of Russian.
    1
  609. Next in line would be USA for its role in terrorist bombing of Germany gas pipelines, and spying activities of German leaders. May all Ukraine's allies do the same. Send those CIA agents, enemy of NATO back to their kennel, USA.
    1
  610. Next in line, CIA spies in embassies and consulates.
    1
  611. Same with USA to avoid spy activities from it.
    1
  612.  @JayToons  Thanks to the West, the rest of the world is mostly united against USA.
    1
  613. It would be suicide for Germany to do so since it needs China market much more than China needs Germany.
    1
  614. Talking "works" with USA while they continue spying Europe leaders.
    1
  615. So, after Russia, next in line is USA ?
    1
  616. Next, the trash from USA.
    1
  617. Weren't Europe using its energy market as a weapon against Russia in the first place ? If Europe could make diplomacy with USA, which recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be the world 1st terrorist leader, then they could make diplomacy with Russia.
    1
  618. Russia had not pissed the non NATO/EU countries in the last year.
    1
  619. No order from USA.
    1
  620. No. Should ask what is wrong with Germany. USA bombed its gas pipelines and spy on its leaders, yet Germany closed Russia consulates.
    1
  621. Thus, it needs China market. Yet it provoked China's close friend.
    1
  622. What is fair to Biden is always unfair to the world.
    1
  623. So do USA.
    1
  624. Unfortunately, most countries in the world, including USA have no courage to cut ties with PRC and recognized ROC ( Taiwan ) as an independent country.
    1
  625. You have to ask USA which bombed Germany gas pipelines.
    1
  626. That honour belongs to USA which recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  627. Not so. NATO/EU failed to destroy Russia economy in 2022, and were instead suffering from the economic backlash from Russia.
    1
  628. If the Germans were serious, they should give USA the same treatment so as to lessen spying activities from the Americans.
    1
  629. LOL. Same with USA.
    1
  630. How so ? Germany engages with USA.
    1
  631. Next, cut down the number of USA spying resources.
    1
  632. You talking about USA ?
    1
  633. Really ? Then next in line is USA.
    1
  634. Not as threathening as USA to Germany national security.
    1
  635. Sure can have relations if Germany could tolerate USA.
    1
  636. Same with USA.
    1
  637. So, next in line is USA to lessen their spying activities in Germany.
    1
  638. Then you are in a minority since the world, especially NATO/EU still pay attention to Russia.
    1
  639.  @DRKrust492  Same statement with same words again ? So you are a bot.
    1
  640. That would be USA.
    1
  641. Germany already sanctioned Russia.
    1
  642. Don't say like that. The other country might choose to detain those "people" after closing the consulates in their country.
    1
  643. Who wants to be "friendly" with Russia ? Except NATO/EU, the rest of the world is still doing businesses with it. China also welcome "white" businesses like Tesla. Many European companies also set up "shops" in China.
    1
  644. Not so. That honour belongs to Ukraine. Zelensky is still a comedian.
    1
  645. Next in line is CIA.
    1
  646. Germany could also do the same to USA to inhibit the effectiveness of spying activities on German soil.
    1
  647. Same can be said about USA.
    1
  648.  @Fillipok  Russia is not easily broken, if Russia could survive NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught in 2022. Economically and/or diplomatically, Russia still got the supports from BRICS, OPEC+, CIS, ASEAN and African Union.
    1
  649. Not as effective as USA.
    1
  650. Yes, all countries in the world have their own spies and thugs.
    1
  651. Same with all countries in the world.
    1
  652. Because USA hasn't order yet ?
    1
  653. Yeah, that USA is pulling the strings.
    1
  654. Germany should also give USA the same treatment.
    1
  655. It had even before the collapse of Soviet Union.
    1
  656. Most likely USA in 2025, crush under a mountain of debts exceeding 31.5 trillion USD.
    1
  657. If that is your logic, same treatment should apply to USA since it recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  658. NATO/EU already closed their energy markets to Russia in 2022.
    1
  659. USA was doing the same things for the last 50 years with their armed interventions, regimes change, invasions and terrorism. Thus, it is also high time for USA to be isolated like North Korea.
    1
  660. The honour of terrorist state belongs to USA which recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  661. Godfather Amerikkka bombed the the pipes off.
    1
  662. Spying German leaders and sabotage Germany gas pipelines by USA ? Of course. Inciting anti-german sentiments ? Not sure.
    1
  663. That would amount to declaration of war. Unfortunately, NATO/EU have no courage to do so.
    1
  664. Next, do it to USA to lessen their spying activities in Germany.
    1
  665. If that so, Germany should call the excess staffs back.
    1
  666. Trudeau is not useless as he got the backing of USA.
    1
  667.  @diazemap  Russia is economically not alone. It got the supports from BRICS, CIS, OPEC+, ASEAN and African Union.
    1
  668. I doubt so since they could not even stop their leaders from been spied by CIA.
    1
  669. Same with USA.
    1
  670. Perhaps USA could advise them ?
    1
  671. The new cold war is between USA and China, not Russia. Its NATO/EU that's trying to isolate and destroy Russia economy in 2022 but failed, and their sanctions spiralled out of control which hurt their economies and citizens welfares.
    1
  672. Same with USA.
    1
  673. What do you mean ? Weren't NATO/EU already sanctioned Russia energy since 2022.
    1
  674. Yeah. No cheap energy from Russia and USA deindustrialisation of Germany. Double whammy.
    1
  675. Its easier for Ukraine to let Russia have the pro-Russia regions, to have peace.
    1
  676. Could USA spies advise them ?
    1
  677. Ukraine used to laugh at Russia whining, until Russia used military force. Now, Ukraine not laughing.
    1
  678. That would make Germany a non-democratic and extremist country. Putin would laugh in Moscow.
    1
  679. Yes. Hopefully more countries in Europe would close down US consulates to limit CIA abilities in spying European leaders.
    1
  680. Germany dares not as it needs China market to prevent depression.
    1
  681. Same with USA.
    1
  682. Not so. Their ties were destroyed after USA bombed Germany gas pipelines in 2022.
    1
  683. Don't say like that because USA is a declining power with senile Biden as its president.
    1
  684. Also, do it to USA for the same reason.
    1
  685.  @owenthomas5103  They all obseesed about USA, maybe because USA bombed Germany gas pipelines, and spied on its leaders but forbid Germany government/media to complain ?
    1
  686. But the whole world is more wary of USA than Russia.
    1
  687. Maybe because Chinese in China is buying more China products than from the West ?
    1
  688. Most likely, it'll be MAGA USA.
    1
  689. 8/11/23 ( Wednesday ) 4.37 pm. The war is entering its "attrition" phase ? Is it a joke ? The Russo-Ukraine war had already been "attritional" since 2022. The war might end in 2024 as USA cut all aids to Ukraine.
    1
  690. You forgot USA is the leader of NATO. USA would also be ravaged by the Russian nukes if war erupt.
    1
  691. But it meant Ukraine, the attacker was stopped in their tracks before reaching Russia 1st line of defense.
    1
  692. In the end, Biden gave Zelensky cluster bombs to be used only in Ukraine. Biden is helping Putin to depopulate Ukraine.
    1
  693. Zelensky : Ukraine needs to join NATO now. Please let us join the club.
    1
  694. The rise of China, the decline of USA, the fall of Russia and NATO turning into Warsaw Pact.
    1
  695. That's the reason Biden gave Zelensky, cluster bombs to be used only in Ukraine.
    1
  696. I thought Europe had already engaged in the Russo-Ukraine war with its war machines and volunteers.
    1
  697. Since Zelensky failed to liberate those occupied oblasts, he could let Putin have those regions and keep peace.
    1
  698. Which means Ukraine dare not commit 80% of its total firepower to its grand counter offensive. As such, this offensive is destined to fail.
    1
  699. You could not say that Ukrainians were acting like Russians. During the past few months when Zelensky kept on postponing his grand counter offensive, all the armchair generals proposed attacking from the front. From Kherson all the way to Bakhmut.
    1
  700. At least those 700,000 Russian conscipts had extra 6 months of basic military training for frontline defenses, thanks to Zelensky kept on postponing his grand counter offensive.
    1
  701. Even if the deal gone through, Africa food price would still rise. Remembered rich Europe intercepted grain ships bound for poor Africa in 2022 after they passed through Turkey ? Worse to come, African nations might ask China for help since its more responsive to their needs.
    1
  702. Africa supports Russia maybe, because Europe intercepted grain ships bound for Africa after passing through Turkey in 2022.
    1

  704.  @thegreatdane3627  Europe is having drought from the hot summer, so its citizens have to buy expensive breads.

  705. Most likely, its Americans that blew up the dam just like they blew up Germany's gas pipelines. Food terrorism ? Aren't Ukraine and Russia at war ? Ukraine could still use overland routes to export wheat from Europe.

  710.  @Rjsjrjsjrjsj  Not Russia. Its USA that want to de-globalize world free trades.

  711. If sea route is not possible, Ukraine could still use land routes to export grains.

  712. So many people knew where the Ukraine's grains is going might be, because they still remembered rich Europe intercepted grains ships that were bound for Africa in 2022 after passing through Turkey.

  713. Ukraine/NATO and Russia are at war, its only natural that Russia blocks Ukraine's shipments of wheat to Europe.
    1
  714.  @thegreatdane3627  Lets see. Ukraine's main export is wheat. African main diet is maize. East, South and South East Asian main diet is rice. Russia could supply grains to Middle East and Central Asia. So its still Europe that's having drought would be most affected by Russia blockage.

  723. CCP had tolerated for 25 years that the people selected in Hong Kong were anti-China. Now its 1 country 1st, before 2 systems.

  724. Had to blame the young generation of Hong Kongers for giving CCP a legitimate excuse to tighten its grip on Hong Kong politics, with their anti-China violent protests which led to riots, burnings and breaking of public properties like MTR. Hong Kong was once a chaotic society that Nancy Pelosi described as a beautiful scene.
    1
  725. Same with the Republicans and Democrats of USA.

  731. Why not ? If most elected were controlled by USA for the last 25 years ?

No wonder American cities are experiencing "flash" robberies. Those robbers copied the government doings. USA robbed Afghanistan, Syria and Russia, Americans robbed the stores and malls.

  747. So, you saying Albania should get into a war with Serbia with Kosovo as battleground ?

  752. While Ukraine is preparing for their counteroffensive, Russia might be intent to occupy the whole of Donbas region. So unless Ukraine plans to abandon Donbas region .....
    1
  753. The west could not complain since NATO has no courage to send formal, professional soldiers to face the Russian forces.
    1
  754. Because USA tricked Ukraine that it could join NATO and Ukraine took the bait which crossed Russia red line. The result - war. Thus, its USA responsibility to be the main provider for war torn Ukraine. Not France.
    1
  755. Maybe Russia is eyeing for the rest of Donbas region, thus the battle of Bakhmut. Same with Ukraine as it continues to defend Bakhmut at great cost of its limited manpower.
    1
  756. Poland sanctioned Ukraine grains export.
    1
  757. All these generals knew that Russia nor Ukraine would accept your proposal. Like warhammer 40k, there could only be war until one clear winner. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.

    1
  759. Let's see whether Ukraine would have enough manpower after Bakhmut to "sreamroll" to Crimea.
    1
  760. Ukraine is fighting for USA.
    1
  761. If that is the case, the general should demand US military to send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine retake Crimea.
    1
  762. After USA avert political turmoils and bankruptcy in a few months and after USA election.
    1
  763. Does Ukraine considered Sloviakia, Poland and Hungary which sanctioned it's grains export, it's enemies ?
    1
  764.  @CorePathway  No joining of NATO, Ukraine be a neutral country. No placement of nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Russian language and cultures be preserved in Ukraine. No victimising of Russian and its descents in eastern Ukraine. These had been explained in 2022. Have you not read news ?
    1
  765. USA would not permit peace negotiations.
    1
  766. Might not be. Ukraine would not have enough manpower to defend tne next town, since it is currently preparing for their great offensive.
    1
  767. Then USA needs to send formal, professional soldiers into Ukraine to repel Russia.
    1
  768.  @dudermcdudeface3674  Can't be. Because Ukraine would have lost the the war if it suffers 700,000 POW.
    1
  769. Russia is training 700,000 conscripts.
    1
  770. If Ukraine failed to defeat half a million Russian defenders, and re-take Crimea by the end of summer but lost the rest of Donbas region. Then Zelensky has to start peace negotiations with Russia.
    1
  771. Maybe western media chose not to report, unlike the destruction of essential infrastructure could be seen by all.
    1
  772. I think Russia intention is to capture the whole of Donbas region.
    1
  773. It is a delusion that Russia would be driven out of all Ukraine, since NATO/EU are not firm on their commitment to Ukraine resistance against Russia. In fact, some EU countries even sanctioned Ukraine grains export.
    1
  774. I doubt the concern on ammo is disinformation. Still remember USA complained that Ukraine used up one week supply of ammo in one day ? Also, NATO/EU did not tuned their military production for war to support Ukraine unlike Russia. Some Eastern European countries even sanctioned Ukraine grains export when Ukraine economy laid in ruins. Your fears are confirmed as according to the leaked US documents, Ukraine suffered more casualties than Russia.
    1
  775. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  776. Not so. Everyone knew Zelensky offensive is compulsory except it had been postphoning from winter to spring to summer !

  778. Only 4 trillion in debts ? You're mistaken. It's 31.5 trillion in debts and increasing. The debts that the American descendents would inherit.
    1
  779. May Zelensky has the courage to negotiate for peace.
    1
  780. Unfortunately, like in warhammer 40k, there is only war until one clear winner. Peace is non-negotiable.
    1
  781.  @dpelpal  Maybe because no formal and professional US soldiers in Ukraine fighting the Russian and dying for Ukraine. So he could afford to be soft spoken, above the fray, never got angry or bombastic.
    1
  782.  @touchstar68  In the end, the well being of Ukraine is been ignored. Poor country. In time, it would be a failed state.
    1
  783. You only talked about Russia, what about Ukraine ? A long gradual defeat for war torn Ukraine, couple with economic ruins and future repayment with high interest to NATO/EU might lead it to be a failed state.
    1
  784. Perhaps you did not know that EU nations of Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are currently sanctioning Ukraine grains export. Romania and Bulgaria are also considering it.
    1
  785. Majority of Republicans loved weird and loud ones who are anti-China.
    1
  786. A Ukraine loss is a western decision to make since their supports to it arrived in drips and draps, and their militaries have no courage to face the Russian. Decide Ukraine should lose and Ukraine would lose.
    1
  787. After Bakhmut, the battle for the rest of Donbas region begin.
    1
  788. In geography, on the map, Ukraine is a part of Europe.
    1
  789. Thus the word "resembles".
    1
  790. If USA and Britain did not live up to the Guarantee Security Agreement given to Ukraine by sending formal, professional soldiers to repel Russia, so could China.
    1
  791. Maybe that is the reason Norway helped USA bombed Germany's gas pipelines.
    1
  792. USA would be happy that Ukraine drag down Russia for them. Rest in peace.
    1
  793.  @kennymiddleton3463  Trash.

  794.  @MonteRosa849  Perhaps Russia is employing USA criminal philosophy of war crimes, enhanced interrogations, impunity, human rights violations and disrespect for international laws. Ukraine is not winning.
    1
  795. Then the Russian would push to occupy the Donbas region.
    1
  796. For your essay, the same could be said for Russia against Ukraine in Bakhmut.
    1
  797. Yeah. Soviet Union won the war.
    1
  798. I doubt it would be a another 7 years since 90% of Bakhmut had fallen to Russia. We would see how capable Ukraine military is, when the battle for the rest of Donbas region begin.
    1
  799.  @moffig1  Unfortunately, Ukraine lacks the manpower for long term attrition war with Russia. NATO/EU lacks the goodwill to fully support Ukraine for long term attrition war. Currently, Ukraine is facing sanctions over it's grains export from Eastern Europe. Ukraine would not be able to retake Crimea and join NATO ( France opposed ). It is more realistic to negotiate for peace than to fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  800. Ironically, EU nations of Sloviakia, Poland and Hungary sanctioned Ukraine grains exports. Even Romania and Bulgaria are considering it. I think its better for Ukraine to negotiate for peace.
    1
  801. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
    1
  802. Ironically, three Eastern European countries currently sanctioned Ukraine grains export. Ukraine no need to win this war.
    1
  803. G Patton would be surprised that one of the factors that Ukraine could drag the war for so long is Fixed Fortifications.
    1
  804. It would be seen as the first step to occupy Donbas region.
    1
  805. It is sure that Biden would execute pro-Donald Trump policies, MAGA.
    1
  806.  @CeylonBaila  Yes. After the fall of Bakhmut, it would be the battles for Donbas region.

  811. Just buy high quality products from China. Europe could buy low quality scrap from USA.
    1

  814. Isn't USA, the culprit of paralysing WTO ?

  815. 15/9/23 ( Friday ) 6.01 pm. After Germany car show became China, European vehicles industries sought protections from government, as the private sectors have lost the competition.
    1
  816. It seemed that you were talking about USA.
    1
  817. Yet, the West expected China to be the economic engine of growth for the world in 2023 like in 2008/9. So ironic.
    1
  818. USA and UK should have honoured their guarantee security agreements signed with Ukraine, by sending a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel the Russians in 2022.
    1
  819. Thus, Europe economy might go the way of Latin/South America.
    1
  820. Just like Europe sanctioned Russia, and robbed Russian personal assets without considering the economic backlash.
    1
  821. After USA declared trade war to China in 2018, it seemed that Europe is declaring trade war to China in 2023.
    1
  822.  @idpro83  No need, Putin already knew. The fighting at the 4 regions continues.
    1
  823. Human rights vs 4 regions and Crimea. Zelensky chose the latter.
    1
  824. If they had ran for their life, I doubt they would return to help re-build broken homes.
    1
  825. Yeah. Those Ukrainians who want to live but were drafted for war could surrender to the Russians before the fighting start.
    1
  826. Zelensky is tasked with NATO begging. As for that woman, to receive reporters interviews ?
    1
  827. Maybe that's the reason USA cut all aids to Ukraine. To force Zelensky not to force unwilling Ukrainians to fight. Wait. Not right. Isn't USA wants Zelensky to fight till the last abled Ukrainian ?
    1
  828. By your logic, Putin comprehend how horrible and dreadful war is as he used Wagner mercenaries heavily. He tried to respect Russian human rights unlike Zelensky to the Ukrainians.
    1
  829. Its simple. Just let Putin have the 4 regions and Crimea to end the war.
    1
  830. Young men die fighting ? Normal. Young women die fighting ? Bad for PR. Young transgenders die fighting ? Not sure.
    1
  831. It had been done, but the women soldiers of Ukraine were died within 24 hours of fighting. Bad for PR. So nowadays, they support from behind the frontline.
    1
  832. My fault in misunderstanding you called Lisa from BlackPink to lead you all.
    1
  833. Because those women soldiers of Ukraine were all dead within 24 hours of war. Bad for PR, so no more fighting at the frontline.
    1
  834. Of course not. The men paid with money to get out of Ukraine.
    1
  835. Not the only solution for Putin to disappear. USA had cut all aids to Ukraine. Peace might be forced onto Zelensky. They may yet see the future.
    1
  836. To Russia ?
    1
  837. For the poor, it takes courage to live as cowards. For the rich, it takes courage to enjoy life.
    1
  838. Defend the country ? The cowards being forced to fight in the war would surrender to the enemy and expose their own troops position.

  840. Come invest in India ? What you listed were pros, how about the cons ? Largest English speaking population. Also larger illiterate population. Largest work age group between 27 to 35. But comparatively low skilled. Democracy ? Caste system prevalent. Good at math ( politician ). My money is mine. Your money is also mine. Landed on moon. Not yet return to Earth. Great math science skills equipped youth. Need paid afternoon nap. Pro startup government. Lots of different licenses and fees. Subsidy on corporate/industrial electricity bills . Electricity shortage.

  841. Using Russia as example ? Inappropriate. It reminded others that holding US and other western assets are dangerous. They would remember that USA and Europe illegaly froze accounts, and openly confiscated Russian personal assets in 2022.

  842. Just do businesses in China market.

  843.  @daviddunne4737  If you are so "Slava Ukraini", then you must not forget that NATO/EU had given enough "wonder" weapons and "game changer" weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia. If Ukraine wins, the credits belong to NATO/EU. If Ukraine loses, the faults lies with Zelensky.
    1
  844.  @daviddunne4737  From how the NATO leaders gave Zelensky the cold shoulder during the NATO summit, its "clear" that they had given enough "wonder" and "game charger" military supports to Ukraine. Who knows what Russia gets ? At least Russia is not getting "wonder" or "game changer" weapons.
    1
  845.  @daviddunne4737  Are the equipments that Russia getting, "wonder" or "game changer" from its sanctioned friends ? From NATO/EU perspective, Ukraine has had enough military supports.
    1
  846. NATO/EU had already gave Ukraine "wonder" weapons and "game changer" weapons to fight the war.

  847. Money could buy mercenaries.

  850. Britain just need to use Euro instead of Sterling Pound and obey EU laws, with cash contributions to the organisation.

  852. Why so bitter ? It's Democracy at works.

  857. What for ? It's Democracy at works.

  858. In war, money could solve problems. Money could buy weapons. Money could buy mercenaries.

  860. What for ? Its Democracy at works
    1
  861. No need. Its Democracy at works.

  865. What rotten apple ? Wasn't Democracy at works ?
    1
  866. Then give money to Hungary. Buy its veto !
    1
  867.  @KaloyanKasabov  Ukraine dismantle the primary enemy of NATO in Europe, Russia ? Its more like Ukraine is helping Russia weakening NATO in Europe.
    1
  868. Ukraine wants free money and benefits from EU while contributing none for EU and little for NATO. Hungary upsets.
    1
  869. May not be. EU farmers could raise the price of their produces by 100% ! Its market economy.
    1
  870. As such, its imperative that Poland to send a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to Ukraine to defend their homeland.
    1
  871.  @ingai4420  7 hours ago, you were saying USA 100% supportive of Ukraine freedom. Now you were accusing Ukraine ?
    1
  872. @ingai4420  I'm not sure about Britain but Russia under Putin always wanted Ukraine to be a long term neutral, non nuclear armed sovereign state.
    1
  873. @ingai4420  Ukraine should never have trusted USA in its oaths of protection and gave up their nukes.
    1
  874. @ingai4420  Maybe because USA had guarantee Ukraine sovereignty with a rock solid agreement ? Now no direct protection ? So this is USA standard to its ally or protectorate.
    1
  875. @ingai4420  As such, how could you claim that USA is 100% supportive of Ukraine freedom in your earlier comment ?
    1
  876.  @ingai4420  USA needs to send troops as Ukraine is facing manpower shortage for war. As for NATO troops, its up to each NATO country to decide.
    1
  877. Money. Russia willing to pay, barter war tech and grains in exchange for shells and drones. NATO/EU not willing to do the same for Ukraine.
    1
  878. If NATO have no courage to face off Russians in Ukraine, at least send the Ukrainians in NATO countries back to Ukraine to help defend their homeland.
    1
  879. Don't be too optimistic. Russia is now on war economy, the economy guy might advise Putin to prolong the attrition war. It also serve to weaken NATO/EU economy.
    1
  880. With or without the removal, Zelensky would lose the attrition war.
    1
  881. What for ? Zelensky claimed that Ukraine was fighting Russia on behalf of Europe. Its foreigners duties to fight and die for Ukraine and Europe.
    1
  882.  @mrswavee2470  But if Ukraine took that action, the ceasefire would be of no more and Putin Russia would use the excuse to invade Ukraine, again. I doubt USA and Europe would readily support Ukraine if war breaks out, again.
    1
  883. As such, Zelensky would permanently lose the 4 regions and Crimea. Ukraine would be in a perpetual war with Russia, just like mainland China and Taiwan island. Unless there is a Peace Treaty.
    1
  884. What you mean is NATO should declare war on Russia now.
    1
  885. After USA removed its debt ceiling, it could borrow 100 billion to support Ukraine.
    1
  886. Strategic agricultural production bases ?
    1
  887. Ukraine should initiate peace negotiations with Russia to save what's left of Ukraine.
    1
  888. A battlefield that NATO/EU would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  889. Once the western equipments exhausted, those lands would be lost again.
    1
  890. Rest in peace.
    1
  891. Live free in Europe. Fight and die in Ukraine.
    1
  892. Hunter Biden ?
    1
  893. Empty villages.
    1
  894.  @Toroleco  What free market ? Nowadays, its MAGA policies and protectionism in USA. What democracy ? Still senile Biden vs dictatorial Donald Trump.
    1
  895. Both countries are not heros. They only disposing their 30 to 40 year old planes to Ukraine.
    1
  896. Who else ? The Danes and the Dutch.
    1
  897. Its more of a consolation to Zelensky.
    1
  898. Then much money is needed to employ them as mercenaries.

  903.  @luisrivera3056  Don't be too optimistic. More than half of citizens of USA and NATO are "tired" of supporting Ukraine. Beside, if USA and NATO really stand side by side with Ukraine, USA and UK would have honour their guarantee security agreements with Ukraine, and send in a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel Russia military from Ukraine in 2022. Shame on USA and UK to dishonour their "rock solid" signed agreements.
    1
  904. You LOL too early. Don't forget the few new weapons would only be delivered in early 2024.
    1
  905. The West really looked down on Russian planes and air defense systems.
    1
  906. It would last even longer.
    1
  907. Its more like NATO's arrogance and pride in Ukraine is coming to an end with Leopards, Bradleys, M777 etc been scraped metal. F16 would join the heap in 2024.
    1
  908. 15 months ago, UK and USA should have honoured their guarantee security agreements with Ukraine and send in their hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel Russia military from Ukraine. The war would have ended in 2022.

  909. They are good for the war merchants, workers and politicians.

  910. No stopping of war until Ukraine retakes the 4 regions and Crimea or fight till the last abled Ukrainian, or the West get tired of the attrition war and stop supporting Ukraine.
    1
  911. Too few. Should be 1500 planes from 31 nations of NATO.
    1
  912. Its arrogance of the West to "praise" the old 20th century F16 A/B/C/D model plane to be the next "wonder/game changer" weapon. Lets see how would F16 with fresh Ukrainian pilots fare against MIG/SU planes and S400 in 2024.
    1
  913.  @Matthew-rp3jf  Not so. Its the terrorists or at that time, still known as freedom fighters headed by Osama bin Laden, that USA recruited and trained that bombed the world trade centre. Not Afghanistan goverment. In essence, its USA government fault and had to compensate those families. Unfortunately, USA robbed Afghanistan of their foreign reserves after it fled from the country for the whole world to see.
    1
  914. First thing first, NATO/EU must declare war on Russia and defeat it decisively before Putin step down from power and be punished.
    1
  915. Wrong comparison. Prussia lost WW1 and its empire got occupied by the Alliance. USA forbids Ukraine to attack Russia proper, limiting the battles in Ukraine only. Thus, Russia would have no chance to be defeated in the attrition war. When saying economy of Russia is going down at this time, don't forget USA is also facing bankruptcy.
    1
  916. Before sending the Russia leaders on execution chairs, the country has to be defeated in war first. This means USA and Britain, the security agreement guarantors of Ukraine have to send formal, professional soldiers to invade Russia and at least occupy Moscow.
    1
  917. You mean the F16 jets will maybe, accomplish the support suicide mission inside Russia, after going up against S400 anti-air missiles and SU 35 jets.
    1
  918. @Null Pointer Only 130 tanks ? So your "plenty of tanks left to retake that land" with no crews for immediate deployment amounted to not so many.
    1
  919. @Null Pointer USA and Europe too stingy to send thousands of tanks with crews and spare parts to retake lands for Ukraine.
    1
  920. NATO/EU had already failed to destroy Russia economy and turned its currency to waste paper. On the contrary, citizens in Europe are paying for sanctions against Russia.

  921. Ukraine would retain statehood but might lose the 4 regions after losing Crimea. Ukraine got too few tanks to crumble Russia.

  922. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.

  923.  @Miamcoline  No. Your taxes are been used to plug the financial "plunders" caused by your government.

  925. You forgot to add in one Ukrainian and one American life.

  926. NATO/EU could rob Russia foreign assets and reserves, but they would suffer the consequences from the rest of the world. Credit "Swiss" bank was a good example.
    1
  927. I doubt Russian would pay unless the American, at least occupy Moscow. Its more plausible the sponsors of Ukraine, NATO/EU help pay the bills of 6 trillion 20 million 3 thousand 4 hundred 76 dollars and 39 cents. OK, forget the 39 cents.
    1
  928. Europe and USA could rob Russia foreign assets and reserves. USA already robbed Afghanistan, so why not Russia ? Just that they might have to face the consequences from the rest of the world. Credit "Swiss" was a good example.
    1
  929. So, its just an excuse for NATO/EU to rob Russia of its foreign assets and reserves to refill their coffers. Maybe leave some crumbs to Ukranine.
    1
  930. Just talk only.
    1
  931. Zelensky would.
    1
  932. Europe and USA could rob Russia of its foreign assets and reserves. If USA could openly rob Afghanistan, so could Russia.
    1
  933. WHO had already sent teams into China to investigate but USA denied WHO investigations. What was USA hiding ? I agree with you that WHO must reinvestigate the cause for the COVID-19, start with USA.
    1
  934. It might not end that way since Russia would likely win the attrition war. Also, USA and Europe might just rob ( if they dare ) Russia 300 billion USD worth of foreign assets and reserves, for themselves and some for Ukraine. USA had already robbed Afghanistan foreign reserves.
    1
  935. Yeah. USA might rob Russia foreign currency just like it robbed Afghanistan.
    1
  936. Russi-Ukraine war may end at year end, not because of Russia civil war but because NATO/EU is unable to sponsor Ukraine resistance anymore.
    1
  937. First, 9 billion USD with interest that USA robbed from Afghanistan foreign reserves after it fled from the country. Then, calculate for the 20 years of unlawful occupation with interest of the country.
    1
  938.  @NoobGamer-sc9lt  Which means Ukraine had to occupy Moscow for the condition for Russia to pay for war.
    1
  939. First, NATO/EU need to have courage to wage war against Russia.
    1
  940. How to do that when NATO/EU had sanctioned heavily to Russia ?
    1
  941. Because NATO/EU desired war to continue in Ukraine.
    1
  942. Turkey is not an EU member because of religion.
    1
  943. The world had turned a blind eye for USA armed conficts, regimes change, invasions and sanctions around the globe for decades. USA had taught the world that the rule of the jungle still prevail. Might is Right.

  944.  @duhni4551  The French people may beg to differ since they are paying 4 times the price for LNG from USA.
    1
  945.  @duhni4551  I agree with you that NATO should have military intervene during Crimea annexation from Russia. Unfortunately, they had no courage to fight and die for democracy, freedom, justice, human rights etc for Ukraine at that time.
    1
  946. USA has to at least occupy Moscow first, before any payment.
    1
  947. EU would not make the exchange. Ukraine was already the poorest nation in Europe before the war. After the war, it would be settled with very heavy debts with very high interest to repay back to NATO/EU. No EU membership to Ukraine before Ukraine pays up ( own money, pay money )
    1
  948.  @duhni4551  Perhaps you did not realize the rest of the world aren't buying more IOU from USA, and are keen in selling them. Also, the rate of de-dollarization had picked up, and tons of gold being transferred back to their own country instead of keeping it in USA. As for Switzerland, that EU law had been in place before Russo-Ukraine war, and no large amount of money being transferred out. Only when Credit "Swiss" started to freeze Russian A/C, then the outflow began which led to its bankruptcy. In essence, the rest of the world had lost trust in the safety of their foreign assets and reserves in the collective West. The day that NATO/EU really rob Russia would be the day whatever that's left in them be withdrew out by the rest of the world.
    1
  949.  @duhni4551  In the long run, this would hurt USA and EU if the highway robbery succeeded. Not only the rest of the world would not put their future foreign assets in them, they would withdraw their whatever current foreign assets from them. Credit "Swiss" bank is a good example.
    1
  950. CIA had no courage to assassinate Putin. Maybe it had but failed ? USA and Europe could rob Russia of its foreign assets, and foreign reserves without thinking of the consequences to give to Ukraine and themselves.

  954. The rest of the world are watching in anxious, whether USA and Europe would turn to robbery for Russia foreign assets and reserves.

  955. USA and Europe could rob Russia foreign assets and reserves to give to Ukraine and themselves. But this would destroy any trusts from the rest of the world, that their assets and reserves would be safe in USA and Europe. What happened ? Credit "Swiss" bank was a good example.
    1

  960. So odd, all those countries listed happened to sanction Russia.
    1
  961. All thanks to USA for rising interest rates, again and again which affected the global financial market in 2022/3. Also, NATO/EU economic sanctions and robberies caused a whipping backlash from Russia. Not to mention of USA on-going economic wars with China.
    1
  962. Not so. The honour belonged to Ukraine.

  963. Yet, it dared to sanction Russia ?
    1
  964.  @Lando-kx6so  The real sick man of Europe is Ukraine, not Russia.
    1
  965. Yeah. If NATO/EU could rob Russians of their personal assets, so could Britain confiscate the riches of British billionaires and multi-millionaires.
    1
  966.  @tharabhai1794  I think the original commentator was questioning "Are there any consequences to the failed leaders beside voting them out" ?
    1
  967. Also, no consequences for Boris Johnson for Brexit and loss of British life during COVID-19 pandemic. No consequences for Liz Truss for causing Britain to lose £50 billion.

  969. Yeah. It's funny that the sick man of Europe is now No. 3 economic entity in the world.
    1
  970. Yeah. After they failed to destroy Russia economy in 2022, and were the receiving end of Russian economic sanctions backlash.

  976. 22/9/23 ( Friday ) 11.50 am. Britain already lost control of its economy long time ago after Boris Johnson's Brexit. He didn't care about the welfare of the people during COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in numerous deaths and further economic loss. An incompetent Liz Truss was elected simply because she is white, resulting in another £50 billion loss for Britain in just 45 days of tenure. Rishi Sunak was elected to fix the problem, but the economic pit is simply to wide and deep to be filled. Worse, Britain chose to sanction Russia without thinking of the economic consequences, resulting in a whipping backlash to its people. Sanction Russia, British pay. Now, Birmingham city had declared bankrupt while junior doctors still on strike. High inflation and high prices persisted. The middle and lower income earners suffered. Before Putin Russia has a chance to collapse, Britain would slide into oblivion.

From the cicumstancial evidences, the "loud silence" of Germany and Sweden and other NATO countries in Europe in 2022, and the UN veto from USA of not going through an investigation into the matter proposed by Russia. Its crystal clear which country was the culprit. USA had done a terrorist act to its ally, Germany.

  983. 11/3/24 ( Monday ) 4.10 pm. Russia doesn't need to offer China any extraordinary deals. China and USA are already at economic war, from trade to chip to high tech to battery to EV. Also, USA kept using its Taiwan and Philippines to provoke China. Since Europe is USA lackey, USA enemy is their enemy. So Russia and China vs USA and Europe.

  985. 12/12/23 ( Tuesday ) 4.35 pm. Ukrainians traumatised ? Even when the central and western Ukraine remains intact ? I wondered how the psychiatrist at the end of the video would describe the Palestinians at Gaza Strip. By comparison, Putin is much more merciful than Netanyahu.
    1
  986. Since the West could confiscate Russian personal assets, they could also confiscate Ukrainian personal assets, for the purpose of rebuilding Ukraine after losing the war.

  994. Zelensky said Ukraine is fighting for Europe. Since Germany already supported Ukraine in military hardwares, so why not Germans in Ukraine ?

  998. 18/0/24 ( Friday ) 9.26 am. Zelensky is indeed a joker. 10,000 North Korean soldiers to Russia would spark a world war ? How about NATO sending more than 10,000 mercenary soldiers to fight in Ukraine during this time ? No one would be scared by Zelensky's threats.

  1039. As you had said, their goal is to force the West to accept Russian dominance over the 4 regions and Crimea. If Ukraine could not drive the Russian out from most of the occupied lands with this grand counter offensive, it would be considered a major loss to Ukraine and a major boost to Russia. Ukraine might have to concede to Russia and end the attrition war to terms in favour of Russia. Worse, Ukraine might become a vassal of Russia just like most of Europe have become vassal of USA.

Their distrust were proven correct when USA unlawfully confiscated Russian personal assets, foreign reserve, sanctions and frozen accounts. Also, freely print tons of money and raised interest rates that affect the world economy. At least China played the "games" according to international rules, unlike USA bended and broke established rules to it's liking. A factor that Brazil Lula planning on putting his eggs in China basket is because that China is more trustworthy than USA.

  1069.  @GotJay713  You contradicted your original comment that "we can't compete due to reserve currency status". The US has one of the dirtiest and most protected political and economic policies that reduced the demand for more dollars. It would be hard to promote complex domestic manufacturing due to weak technical know-how and unfavourable labour laws to the manufacturers.
    1
  1070. By your logic, you would be happy that USA could compete in trades due to lowering status of USD being the world reserve currency.
    1
  1071. Too late. Americans need Chinese products to survive.
    1
  1072. Because they saw USA did not want to have FTA with Britain ?
    1
  1073. After USA paid up its 31.5 trillion of debts.
    1
  1074. Need to be and not lower because it's debts amount to 31.5 trillion.
    1
  1075.  @rv8804  You are right that South America could not rely on shipping raw materials forever. So they, lead by Brazil ( a member of BRICS ) were keen on belt and road initiative. Also, China bought 20 planes from Brazil, preventing that airplane company from being bankrupt and hostile takeover by Boeing. They have chosen China because they believed they could be as prosperous as ASEAN, unlike been poor and under-developed in the backyard of USA.
    1
  1076. You are mistaken. Most of South American countries, especially Brazil had chosen China. If all goes well between South America and China, South America could be as prosperous as ASEAN.
    1
  1077. It is too late for the near bankrupt MAGA USA to do that. Also, most countries in the Americas distrusted USA.
    1
  1078. Not feasible because USA is sucking EU economy dry.
    1
  1079.  @Joe_Terra_Citizen  Ukraine could use air and sea drones to damage Black Sea fleet, and break out of the blockade but offer no tactical advantage to retake Crimea by sea. As for Ukraine destabilizing Russian pension fund and crippling its energy sector - Dream on. The combined NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught and robberries could not even destroy Russia economy in 2022. Unless Ukraine secret agents get pass Ural Mountain to blow up the gas/oil pipes to China, like USA blew up Germany gas pipelines in Baltic Sea, Russia energy sector would not be cripple. Ukraine is edging towards decisive destruction, even if NATO continues to support Ukraine with money, weapons and ammo for the next 10 years. Its because Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war. Still remember Zelensky forbid 16 - 60 year old male Ukrainian to leave the country in 2022 ? Ukraine is now drafting 16 year old for war in 2023. Unless NATO send a hundred thousand "boots" to help Ukraine, Zelensky would have to send children as canon fodder to the frontline in near future. With the war, Ukraine total population had been halved. After the war, 2 maybe 3 generations of Ukrainian would be lost. Ukraine after Zelensky might be a failed state, a "colony" of USA since Blackrock is now "gathering" assets cheaply from Ukraine.
    1
  1080. What are you talking ? Don't you know victories would only be decided on land ? Beside, Russia had already blockaded Ukraine access to Black Sea.
    1
  1081.  @luvr381  Why LOL ? Russia is more powerful, prosperous and have a bigger domestic market than Ukraine. Crimea would be happy to be part of Russia.
    1
  1082. Ukraine had been "owning" the fresh water since 2014, Russia still keep Crimea. Case closed.
    1
  1083. The most realistic solution to end the Russo-Ukraine. Russia keeps the 4 regions and Crimea, Ukraine becomes a permanent non-nuclear neutral state.
    1
  1084. Depends on the battlefield ? Yeah. An attrition war that Ukraine would lose to Russia.
    1
  1085. Damn USA just have to instigate Ukraine to provoke Russia into war and broke the border line.
    1
  1086. Based on history, Mongolia and Turkey could claim Crimea as well.
    1
  1087. As such, USA and UK should have honoured its guarantee security agrements with Ukriane by sending a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel Russian military from Ukraine. The war should have ended in 2022.
    1
  1088. You forgot Russia controlled Crimea. So who cares what Ukraine thinks ?
    1
  1089. If Ukraine could not take back Crimea now, it would lose it forever.
    1
  1090. You would be more embarrassed to be American now, when your President let Americans to be burnt to ashes in Hawaii, and your great military at Pearl Harbour just stood by and watched the island burned.
    1
  1091. So could Ukraine, after it loses the attrition war.
    1
  1092. Have you forgotten democratic USA had invaded, and ruled other countries through puppet governments for the past 50 years ? Famous example : Iraq and Afghanistan. The world had say Yes to US bully. Russia only copied USA policy.
    1
  1093. Yeah, with Ukrainiam minors and elders fighting the war for him.
    1
  1094.  @suleymansekman2697  I'm not talking about ethnic race, I'm talking about the country of Mongolia could claim Ukraine based on history, like you said Crimea was Turks since Crimea was once part of the Ottoman Empire.
    1
  1095. Before that, its part of the Mongol Empire. So Mongolia could claim it based on history.
    1
  1096. Russia to rejoin the international community ? Don't you know Russia is part of G20, BRICS, CIS, OPEC+ and is friendly with ASEAN, Africa Union and South American countries ?
    1
  1097. USA just had no courage to face Russia on battlefields. It only knew how to bully the small and weak.
    1
  1098. As such, USA and UK should have honoured their guarantee security agreements signed with Ukraine, and send a hundred thousand formal, professional soldiers to repel Russian military from Ukraine. The war could have ended in 2022. Shame on USA and UK for their betrayal to Ukraine.
    1
  1099. 23/8/23 ( Wednesday ) 11.24 am. "It begins with Crimea and it will end with Crimea". USA and its NATO allies would shove those words down Zelensky's throat.
    1
  1100. I'm not sure about Izium but there's something "fishy" about Bucha. Boris Johnson once said that the truth must be found, yet Britain vetoed the further investigations of Bucha. Why ? If it was indeed done by Russia, the West should have "dig" through it and "cruxify" Russia with solid evidences. In the end, the West didn't want the truth to be found.
    1
  1101. Victory for Ukraine - Retake the 4 regions and Crimea with membership into NATO and EU. Victory for Russia - Keep the 4 regions and Crimea with non NATO membership to Ukraine.
    1
  1102. You forgot that Putin controlled the 4 regions and Crimea which are pro-Russia. The tactical guerilla groups would not last long in those regions.
    1
  1103. Maybe because USA doesn't think residents in Hawaii as Americans. US soldiers in Pearl Harbour didn't even bother to help firefight.
    1
  1104. Ukraine still got women to draft.
    1
  1105. Might as well give nukes to Ukraine to leverage its negotiations of peace with Russia.
    1
  1106. Putin was laughing at the hypocrisy of EU's human rights.
    1
  1107. Outlasted from the world, Russia ? You meant USA and Europe ? Because Russia is a member of BRICS+, OPEC+, CIS, friendly with African Union, ASEAN and Latin/South America. Same with China.
    1
  1108. 17/11/23 ( Friday ) 4.00 pm. USA had already cut all aids to Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel. Zelensky grand summer counter-offensive that started in June 2023 had ended in failure. Tzar Putin would have the last laugh over Beggar Zelensky.
    1
  1109. Compare to Nazi Netanyahu intense mass bombing of Gaza Strip, Tzar Putin not yet escalated to the max.
    1
  1110. Since USA had cut all aids to Ukraine, could some rich guys like Elon Musk sponsor some A10 ?
    1
  1111. Thanks for the info. I never thought of EMP factor.
    1
  1112. The Russo-Ukraine war might end in 2024 in favour of Russia. Their training might not help Ukraine much. Perhaps those Ukrainians might find employment in US Air Force ?
    1
  1113. If USA honoured its guaranteed security agreement signed with Ukraine and send a 100,000 formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine against Russia. The war would be over in 2022. Thus, no need for Ukraine to become a NATO member etc.
    1
  1114. A Ukrainian piloting F16 C/D or older version of A/B would have difficulty or no chance beating Russian MIG 31.
    1
  1115. No need to be so excited over just 3 planes in Romania, not Ukraine.
    1
  1116. Unfortunately, USA would not be paying for the services.
    1
  1117.  @zodiacdriver3852  Expect surprises ? I already surprised that Biden and USA had cut all aids to Ukraine before Donald Trump even becomes President.
    1
  1118.  @zodiacdriver3852  Unless Norway, Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium decommissioned their few hundred F16 in 2024 and handover them, together with missiles, ammo, spare parts and maintenance crews plus experience pilots to Ukraine, Ukraine would not have a boost in air defence.
    1
  1119. Not so amazing. He had some contradictions in the video.
    1
  1120. Wrong comparison with Navy vs Air Force. In Nov 2023, Russia already down 2 dozen Ukraine jets and 3 dozen drones.
    1
  1121. I think he is talking about stationing F16 on the west-western Ukraine, then fly over to do battle on the east or south side of Ukraine.
    1
  1122. But Ukraine would be using the old version of F16 against Russian planes. Just hope that it's not F16 A/B type.
    1
  1123. The "donated" F16 from Denmark and Netherlands that they are going to retire would most likely be A/B/C/D variants. Not much better than MIG 29 and SU 27.
    1
  1124. Are they F16V ? If not, they would be shot down by S400 and Russian planes.
    1
  1125. Very few since the US ( Ukraine ) pilots would not be paid.
    1
  1126. You're mistaken. Ukraine would be flying old version of F16. So it would not be BMW. Just hope that it would not be flying F16 A/B against Russian planes.
    1
  1127.  @BojanPeric-kq9et  I was referring to F16 jet. As for the number of old F16 that Ukraine would receive eventually, I doubt it would number in hundreds.
    1
  1128. The war would likely end in 2024. F16 would not have much impact.
    1
  1129. Its USA fault for instigating Ukraine into provoking Russia into war. So its only right for Americans to pay with their USD. Meanwhile, Ukrainians pay with their blood.
    1
  1130. "Democracy" at works.
    1
  1131. 6/10/23 ( Friday ) 2.04 pm. Chris Cappy was contradictory and confusing in his representation. On one hand, he praised the technological advances of F16 over MiG 29 and SU 27. Later, he said that those European F16s "donated" were planes that were going to be retired by Denmark and Netherlands, which meant that those "technologies" were been used in 1970's and 1980's. Not so technology advance against Russian planes as he claimed. On one hand, he said that F16 have longer "lifespan". Then he progressed to say it needs intensive maintainance with many qualified ground crews and spare parts that Ukraine lacks. He said F16 could stay longer on air and have longer operational range.....provided the planes are based on "pristine" air bases. That means the Russians just need to bomb any identified Ukraine air bases to make them "dirty" for F16 to operate. With so many "restrictions", how is F16 going to help Ukraine gain air superiority over Russia ? To make it worse, recently Poland, the hard core supporter of Ukraine "sanctioned" Ukraine. Even Biden was powerless to stop USA from cutting all aids to it. F16 would have few chances to fly over Ukraine air space in 2024. With NATO "donations" drying up, Zelensky might be forced to negotiate for peace with Putin. Bad news for him. Good news for Ukrainian men.
    1
  1132. Not really. Ukraine is just a pawn to drag Russia with it down to hell.
    1
  1133.  @againstviralmisinformation510  Russia has no say in ending the war, because Zelensky Ukraine would not let Russia have the 4 regions and Crimea. The war would only end when NATO/EU decide not to support Ukraine in war efforts, or Russia fully engage into crushing Ukraine.
    1
  1134. A lot of Russians may not need to go home to protect Mother Russia, since there are still a million soldiers in Russia proper that Putin could mobilize.
    1
  1135. Zelensky had delayed his grand counter offensive for over half a year. By your logic, his "real" grand counter offensive might only take place in 2024.
    1
  1136. It did deprive Crimea region and nuclear plant of its water source for drinking and cooling. It also destroyed Russia defenses on the other side of the river. Thus, its considered as offensive.
    1
  1137. But Ukraine is just pawn of USA to drag Russia down with it to hell. No need for USA to let Ukraine win, just fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1138.  @johncnorris  You're the one who wasted everyone's time by not showing evidence. Only knew to label others as "troll".
    1
  1139.  @johncnorris  You really wanted to forget what you had posted ( sigh ).
    1
  1140.  @johncnorris  That was not trolling. That was refreshing your memory of what were being posted by us a few hours ago.
    1
  1141.  @johncnorris  You were asking whether I knew the opening of flood gates are common in spring when the snow melt. I then question you back that is it a common practice, to open all flood gates of all dams on the upstream held by Ukraine at the same time, one week before the "destruction" of the dam held by Russia. If you don't know, then say you don't know.
    1
  1142.  @johncnorris  Common practice to open all flood gates from all dams that Ukraine held, at once ? One week before the destruction of the dam that Russia held ?
    1
  1143. After Ukraine opened the flood gates from their dams upstream, the water level were of course record high at the dam held by Russia.
    1
  1144.  @schmetterling4477  4 million Russian soldiers dead/wounded with 100% military equipments destroyed before mop up by NATO ? You are too optimistic that NATO/EU are willing to support Ukraine for decades in war against Russia.
    1
  1145.  @schmetterling4477  Same with Ukraine. 10 million Ukrainians had scattered across Europe with a few million in Russian occupied area. The longer the conflict goes on, the less abled Ukrainian that Zelensky could send to the attrition war. In the end, NATO/EU would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1146.  @schmetterling4477  NATO might not be concern for their military hardwares since mostly its on lend/lease, but how many Ukrainian conscripts/soldiers life could Zelensky wasted ?
    1
  1147.  @schmetterling4477  Too late. A larger percentage of NATO armours had been destroyed together with many thousands of Ukraine soldiers life.
    1
  1148.  @schmetterling4477  The original comment pointed to actual jets and attack helicoptors, not just drones.
    1
  1149. USA and UK should have sent formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repel the Russian "special military operation" in 2022.
    1
  1150. After USA lifted its debt ceiling, it bought Wagner mercenaries to aid Ukraine in the counter offensive ( my opinion ).
    1
  1151. Maybe because Ukraine blew up "Crimea" bridge and USA blew up Germany gas pipelines.
    1
  1152.  @lordinquisitorkell-lagan8215  Best war money can buy ? Yeah. Biden can end it all by stop supporting Zelensky.
    1
  1153. May not be. Russia still have a million regulars in Russia proper waiting to be mobilised.
    1
  1154. More like the Ukrainian kid was dead than the Russian.
    1
  1155. 25/12/23 ( Monday ) 5.13 pm. On hindsight, the Ukrainian general was right in rejecting General Miley military strategy. The losses would be higher than what had been lost. The Ukraine military was retrained in NATO tactics, yet it dared to attack without air superiority. The Ukraine military was either plain stupid or too brave or too desperate or all the above. After 6 months, Zelensky summer grand counter offensive ended in failure. USA had cut all aids to Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel. EU had rejected €50 billion funding to Ukraine. USA updated Ukraine would run out of artillery shells by Jan 2024. Ukraine would run out of money to pay its government employees and soldiers by March 2024. Though a few countries in Europe continue to aid Ukraine, its a drop in the bucket. Zelensky should negotiate a peace deal with Putin before Russia launch its own grand counter offensive in 2024. By then, with lack of weapons, ammo, manpower and money, Ukraine would be hard pressed to withstand Russia potential attack in 2024. Thus losing more land. Oh yes, since its still Christmas Day, may all viewers have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
    1
  1156.  @sababugs1125  270 vehicles lost for Ukraine Vs 353 vehicles lost for Russia ? The figures showed that western equipments were not so much advanced than Russia. I agreed with you that not enough been sent. USA alone should have send a thousand instead of a few dozen.
    1
  1157. ​ @sababugs1125 Then what happened ? The weapons that were sent to Ukraine were been labelled as Wonder, even Game Changer weapons. In the end, this is the result ?
    1
  1158.  @MostlyPennyCat  but Ukrainian soldiers do.
    1
  1159. Since Ukraine failed in their Kherson assault, it means their military forces is 5th rate ?
    1
  1160. Weren't the US politicians and military experts said that its cheap to use Ukraine to weaken Russia, 1 year ago ?
    1
  1161. No. Its American. They loved to Vroom......
    1
  1162. Just poisonous to the personnels and to the environment.
    1
  1163. Milley already retired.
    1
  1164. USA did not gladly send them. Germany forced USA. No Abrams, no Leopards to Ukraine.
    1
  1165. They had.
    1
  1166. Which means Abrams need to have a petrol station nearby for their daily operations.
    1
  1167. Nah. Its the Indians that got hammered.
    1
  1168. Yet, middle class Americans and poor people could not survive without Make in China products. That's the reason USA lost the trade war with China.
    1
  1169. USA is big but after decades of experience, still useless. Worse, the whole world witnessed its fleeing from Afghanistan and abandoning civilians back to Taliban terrorists.
    1
  1170.  @dopecat15  Ukraine is not in a position to refuse the donations. Those bad condition tanks could be used as spare parts for the good condition tanks. Beside, got old, light tanks better than no tanks.
    1
  1171. Nowadays, USA does not have new operational weapons in abundance. Even F22 is decades old.
    1
  1172. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian !
    1
  1173. Not enough young men. For Ukraine, Zelensky is already drafting 16 years old minors for war. If Poland really send the Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine, Zelensky could draft them to the frontlines to cover the manpower gap. For Russia, after Putin committed its 1 million regular soldier into the war, then he'll draft young men to the meat grinder.
    1
  1174. You didn't take into account that US government is going to "shut down" soon due to politics gridlock. I doubt USA could aid Ukraine with billions of USD in 2024.
    1
  1175. It would be difficult for Ukraine to use "bite and hold". Because it rely totally on NATO charities on artilleries and shells ( small bite force ), and lack of manpower for war ( not enough men to hold ). However, if Poland really send the Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine, Zelensky could draft them into battles.
    1
  1176. To Biden, poor people on that burnt Hawaii island were cheap.
    1
  1177. USA had signed "rock solid" guarantee security agreement with Ukraine before the war. However, Biden dishonoured the agreement by not sending a hundred thousand formal, professional US soldiers to repel the Russian military from Ukraine.
    1
  1178.  @orionide4032  Really ? What's the name of Ukraine currency ? How much do the currency worth in relation to Ruble ? I've heard that 100 Ruble = 1 USD.
    1
  1179. Everyone forgot that Ukraine had been "training" its military for 8 years with US advisors before the war started.
    1
  1180. No need to take back. The Russians would be bombarding the trenches that the Ukrainians are holding.
    1
  1181. Yet he only rely on US sources.
    1
  1182. To be delivered in 2024, unless Donald Trump wins the election.
    1
  1183.  @SmithenJW04k  My point ? For USA and Russia point of view, no need to deploy F35 to help, and SU57 against Ukraine.
    1
  1184. Only 500 million ? Amount too small.
    1
  1185. India would demand big discounts from US weapons manufacturers.
    1
  1186. The mentality had changed with the Russo-Ukraine war. Europe had ostracised and rejected Russia with its various sanctions, unlawful confiscation of assets, seizure of foreign reserve and frozen accounts. Russia was forced to look east and become an Asian country with its Siberia.
    1
  1187. Except 3rd world countries with/without civil wars and Russia government.
    1
  1188. Given that Russian weapons are way cheaper the USA, its value for money.
    1
  1189.  @Yannis-ew2ok  NATO/EU instigated naive Ukraine to provoke Russia with NATO membership and nuclear weapons ( Recall Cuba crisis ? Now with war ). NATO countries of USA and Britain had given guarantee security agreements to Ukraine. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, they did not send formal, professional soldiers to help repel the Russian invaders. All NATO/EU gave were some defensive weapons and forbid Ukraine to attack Russia. Moldova is much smaller than Ukraine. If the incompetent Russian invaders could occupied 16% of Ukraine, it could conquer Moldova in months, if not weeks. NATO/EU would not interfere like when Russia annexed Crimea. Moldova should stop dreaming to be "western".
    1
  1190.  @Yannis-ew2ok  Just look at how NATO/EU treated Ukraine. No joining of NATO. No joining of EU. Moldova should stop dreaming to be "western".
    1
  1191. No need mention about Canada. US treated Canada as a semi-state of USA.
    1
  1192. Ocean pollution ? Japan is going to dump nuclear waste water into the Pacific Ocean for the next 30 years. Starting in 2023.
    1
  1193. It's hard to hold election in Kursk since the situation remains volatile.
    1
  1194.  @timmommens901  I'm only replying to the original comment.
    1
  1195. Didn't Belarus sanction by USA and NATO ? So Belarus would gain lands from Ukraine while lose nothing by entering the war.
    1
  1196. Didn't the Poles already enter the fray in the form of mercenaries ? Not sure about the French.
    1
  1197. Zelensky Ukraine did provoke this war by insisting on joining NATO, even though Europe knew it was the last red line of Russia. The naive comedian Zelensky didn't learn the lesson of 2014 annexation of Crimea that Putin was very serious about his war threats.
    1
  1198. You could see Defence Politics Asia for frontline changes in the eastern front. From the looks of it, Ukraine would lose Pokrovsk.
    1
  1199. Thus, the operation was a failure.
    1
  1200. North Korea didn't give. It traded its ammo for Russia's fuel, war and satellite tech and grains.
    1
  1201. The war be Putin undoing ? He is already preparing to rule Russia for the next 6 years.
    1
  1202. Actually no need for France to put troops on the ground. It just need to send Ukrainian man refugees back to defend their homeland.
    1
  1203. Ukraine holding Western economy ? You're mistaken. Western economy in Europe already been severely damaged by Russia economic counter-sanctions, and by USA deindustrailization of Germany, selling ultra high price energy to its European allies and increased interest rates for the past 2 years.
    1
  1204. To negotiate for peace.
    1
  1205.  @БогданБеркут  You forgot that Ukraine is also abandoned by two guarantors of its security, USA and Britain. They did not send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repelled Russia in its hours of needs.
    1
  1206. Do not complain since its USA which instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia in the first place, by baiting it with NATO membership and nuclear weapons in Ukraine ( Cuba crisis again except with war ).
    1
  1207. To negotiate for peace.
    1
  1208. Because NATO/EU is fighting Russia with Ukrainian blood.
    1
  1209. Time is not on Ukraine side. Ukraine had postphone the offensive from winter to spring and now its summer. Many NATO/EU countries are tired of continous supports to Ukraine.
    1
  1210. No permission from USA.
    1
  1211. Taliban had terrorised and traumatised the US forces that they lacked courage to face the Russian forces.
    1
  1212. I'm not sure Ukraine would break Russia defensive lines in the four regions and Crimea, with only one million attackers vs half a million defenders ( not counting weapons and ammo ).
    1
  1213. No need since USA has never paid for its crimes against American Natives, or other countries that it had regime changed and invaded for the past 50 years.
    1
  1214. Perhaps its one of the thousands retrenched Disney employees that "sold" the Disney IP to Russia ? Too much confidential "dirty" documents had been leaked out.
    1
  1215. Its a lot easier for NATO/EU to send troops into Ukraine to repel Russia from the four regions and Crimea.
    1
  1216.  @БогданБеркут  I doubt so since Europe had rejected and ostracised Russia. But Russia still got Asia, Africa and Latin South America supports.
    1
  1217. Stop whining. USA instigated Ukraine into provoking Russia for the invasion. The least that the American could do is to pay the bills.
    1
  1218. The West would get their money back, by hook or by crook. If Ukraine "unable" to repay its debts, the West could confiscate personel assets and foreign reserve.
    1
  1219. How could he ? He's pro-Ukraine. No Ukraine negative news.
    1
  1220. Unfortunately, morale cannot be quantified. What if the Russian conscripts morale are not bottom poor, and the Ukrainians come at tnem like stray dogs ?
    1
  1221.  @eeeertoo2597  That is the reason its being called the meat grinder for both Ukraine and Russia. As for Kherson, one could either say the Ukraine commanders were cautious on one hand or lacked confidence on the other.
    1
  1222.  @eeeertoo2597  Yes, at Kherson. Ukrainian forces only fully occupied the other side of the river, one week after Russia withdrew for fear of traps.
    1
  1223.  @eeeertoo2597  Russia withdrew to the other side of the river from Kherson, while Kharkiv was too lightly defended for Ukraine to claim major victory.
    1
  1224. Can't blame him since he is American ( I think ).
    1
  1225. Don't overdo it. The soldiers morale might be sunk rock bottom and many countries might just give up on Ukraine.
    1
  1226. Happily tired because more inflow of Money.

  1227. Rain somemore and Ukraine could postphone the offensive to Autumn.
    1
  1228. You got it wrong. Putin wanted to get along with the west, even shown interest in joining NATO. But they refused to consider the notion because its Russia. Later, the west expelled Russia from G8. Now, its G7. Then the west tricked Ukraine into provoking Russia, by welcoming it to join NATO and to place nuclear weapons inside Ukraine ( Remember Cuba crisis ? ). Putin had no choice but to ally with President Xi since Russia was ostracised and rejected from Europe.
    1
  1229. Russia didn't want Ukraine. It just wanted Ukraine to be a long term Neutral, Non nuclear armed sovereign state which Zelensky refused.
    1
  1230. Ukraine is in worse shape, as it had lost half of its total population during 2 years of war.
    1
  1231. @Present-Tense  Not so. Putin already realised that Zelensky will ultimately lose.
    1
  1232. "The Ukrainians have moved north. Time to take Odessa !"

  1233. Dying in meat grinders ?

  1234.  @besconst  dude, stop being ignorant.
    1
  1235. @besconst  No. NATO rejected Ukraine application only after Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO betrayed Ukraine.
    1
  1236. @besconst  It's true but NATO rejected Ukraine application.
    1
  1237.  @besconst  You didn't know Zelensky insisted on joining NATO and agreed to deploy US nuclear arsenal after joining NATO, which resulted in war ?
    1
  1238. Of course, there's no Q in the big cities of Ukraine for enlistments after more than 11 military mobilizations.
    1
  1239. 28/2/24 ( Wednesday ) 10.26 am. Russia, a global outcast ? Obviously this programe didn't know that the country is s member of BRICS+, OPEC+, CIS and is friendly with African Union, ASEAN, Latin/South America, India and North Korea.
    1
  1240. 29/10/23 ( Sunday ) 12.13 pm. The Europeans in Europe are going to burn firewoods for winter again. Where are the climate activists ?
    1
  1241. 25/5/24 ( Saturday ) 8.12 pm. Why no transgender sports ?
    1
  1242. Don't care about human life ? At least the Russians used money to buy death services from mercenaries to reduce Russian casualties.
    1
  1243. Money.
    1
  1244. At least the Russians still got money to buy Death Services.
    1
  1245. Maybe he would see how Israel military treated Palestinian civilians at Gaza. Then perhaps this mercenary might think that his employer treated the Ukrainian civilians with humanity.
    1
  1246. I agreed with you on the 1st part, not the 2nd. You were talking about Zelensky, not Putin. If he ends the war, he is gone. Don't forget by Ukraine law, he is an illegal President.
    1
  1247. No. Russia still have money to employ mercenaries to fight the war. Less Russian casualties. Unlike Ukraine.
    1
  1248. The World wants real freedom from Biden/Trump America.
    1
  1249. He's a mercenary.
    1
  1250. Russia was not afraid of NATO. Putin once applied to join NATO but was refused because its Russia.
    1
  1251. Don't you know that the history of civilizations is a history of wars ? The Death services had been in existence for thousands of years.
    1
  1252. That's from the failure of the Imperial Manchurian Empire.
    1
  1253. You cannot understand ? It's all for money. They are mercenaries. As for the nightmare, it began with US successful instigation of Ukraine against Russia.
    1
  1254. @themomaw  Same description for the losing side. As a mercenary, he should be prepared for the worst. Also, Russia has gained metres per day and lost many times more men than Ukraine ? Well, from the Internet. After gaining Avdiivka, Russia had also gained control of Heorhiika, Semenivka, Tabka, Tonenke, Buhdanivka, Bilohorivka, Orlivka, Ivaniska, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Novomyhailvka, Pervomaike, Soloviove, Netailove and other settlements. Russia is definitely not gaining ground, metres per day. Zelensky had said Ukraine only lost 31,000 soldiers, yet its military need at least half a million replacement. Also, Poland is considering sending a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to defend their homeland. So from the looks of it, it's the other way round.
    1
  1255. @SA-hh9mv  Signs of desperation ? More so to Ukraine than to Russia as Zelensky has to go around begging more of everything. The netizens of western countries are urging their governments to give more and fast. Even Poland is considering sending a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to defend their homeland. Ukraine is in a grave situation.
    1
  1256. @themomaw  I'm just replying to your original comment. As a war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia is currently winning against Ukraine. Thus, this mercenary might have a higher chance of getting paid alive.
    1
  1257. As a mercenary, he would be glad he's on winning side, for now. More survival chances, more likely to get paid.
    1
  1258. Didn't you watch the video ? He's a mercenary fighting for money.
    1
  1259. May not be. This mercenary would get paid if he's alive after fighting for Russia. Less chance if he fights for Ukraine.
    1
  1260. @gavins9846  Not the Chinese guy. It's Zelensky, who admitted Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war. He had requested Europe to send back Ukrainians back to defend their homeland. Poland is considering the request.
    1
  1261. @gavins9846  From the Internet, I was informed that after the fall of Avdiivka, Ukraine also lost Heorhiika, Semenivka, Tabka, Tonenke, Buhdanivka, Bilohorivka, Orlivka, Ivaniska, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Novomyhailvka, Pervomaike, Soloviove, Netailove and other settlements. If this is not Russia winning, for now. I won't know how to describe it. Ukraine is advancing towards Kiev ?
    1
  1262.  @gavins9846  Same with you.
    1
  1263. @gavins9846  I don't know how to make out of your comments. 1st, I thought you were pro-Ukraine from your reply to me. Then, on another comment, you were "admiring" his maybe, would be heavily rebuilt and raw new unit. Also, you got it wrong that Ukraine was using attrition strategy. It's Russia. After 2 years, attrition had got up with Ukraine. Not only must Zelensky going around begging for more of everything, but he also wanted Europe to send Ukrainians back to defend their homeland. Poland is considering that request.
    1
  1264. 24/9/24 ( Tuesday ) 9.04 am. Motorcycles ? No surprise. The imperial Japanese were using bicycles to chase the British in Malayan peninsula during WW2. Next, Honda and Toyota trucks on the battlefields ?
    1
  1265. Celebrating victories in the eastern front ?
    1
  1266.  @theorobinmeyer  To control the whole Donbass region ?
    1
  1267. Because its in Donbass region ?
    1
  1268. By now, you should have realised that Russia is against NATO/EU, not just Ukraine. If it is just Ukraine alone, the war would have ended in 2022 after peace negotiations at Turkey. Russia's allies donated ? Not so. Its business. Russia bought and traded with Iran and North Korea for drones and ammo. Meanwhile Zelensky had to openly begged for more of everything from NATO/EU.
    1
  1269. Not that many when compared to Ukraine, which had lost half of its population to the rest of Europe.
    1
  1270. Ukraine would be South Vietnam which USA eventually abandoned.
    1
  1271.  @mirandahotspring4019  So it's a tactical advancement to maximise Russian territorial gains, after Ukrainians made their tactical withdrawal.
    1
  1272. ​ @davidmelichar546  Perhaps @arakaramed meant the US biolabs and Blackrock in Ukraine.
    1
  1273. ​@benjaminporte3269 It seemed that you didn't know that Ukraine was prepared to deploy US nuclear arsenal in its territory after it joined NATO. Now, the USA said that Ukraine could join NATO if it defeats Russia. WTF ! If Ukraine, alone could defeat Russia, Ukraine would not need to join NATO. NATO should join Ukraine ! Thus, Russia initial objectives had been achieved. Ukraine would be a non nuclear, non NATO state.
    1
  1274. Didn't Finland announce that Russia had mobilized 80% of its border troops with Finland to Ukraine ? I don't think Russia is as stupid as you said.
    1
  1275. Not so. It's the rise of the Orients.
    1
  1276. Zelensky was once a comedian actor.
    1
  1277. But compared to the forced conscripts that fight and die for a losing war. What were they fighting for ? So that Zelensky could beg more money for his wife to buy jewellery ?
    1
  1278. Since he's only 70 years old, he would outlive senile Biden and dictatorial Donald Trump.
    1
  1279. March 2022 : We put sanctions on Russia. No more Russian energy. April 2022 : We confiscated Russia personnel assets, kicked Russia out of Swift, frozen accounts and foreign reserves. No need to care about international laws. May 2022 : We would make Ruble into waste paper. June 2022 : We would put more sanctions. Russia economy would be destroyed. July 2022 : Russia running out of ammo and weapons, its economy would collapse. August 2022 : Sanctioned Russia, European pay for high inflation. September 2022 : We would burn lignite, coal and firewoods. No need to care for climate change protection October 2022 : Warm winter. Thank you climate change. The "how dare you" girl could retire. November 2022 : Ukraine would fight off Russia from its grand counter offensive. June 2023 : Russia still control the 4 regions and Crimea. Its economy still intact.
    1
  1280.  @denis3208  But both SSSR and imperial Russia got navy while the current Ukraine had none. If sailors were not re-trained as marines, then no reason for Ukraine to create marine units.
    1
  1281. Perhaps Ukraine no longer have a navy, so those sailors become marines ?
    1
  1282. That means meat grinder of Bakhmut again.
    1
  1283.  @joemifsud2770  Perhaps you did not finish reading my reply or you chose not to. I already told you that in the case of Russo-Ukraine war, the rules of the jungle applied. As for your hypothetical question " What if you are held at gun point with intruders having the second largest army in the world " My answer, as with everybody ( including you ) : Surrender. Its better to be alive than to be dead for a property.
    1
  1284.  @joemifsud2770  I might not fight back because the property, even if I get it back would be severely damaged after fighting. Instead, I would call the police to arrest that person and sue him/her. However, in the case of Russo-Ukraine war, the rule of the jungle prevailed. When USA and UK dishonoured its guarantee security agreements with Ukraine by not sending its formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repelled Russia and NATO/EU restricted the battleground to only Ukraine, Ukraine is destined to lose the attrition war.
    1
  1285. Same with Ukraine. If Zelensky has a heart, he would initiate peace negotiations with Russia, let Russia have those 4 pro-Russia regions and Crimea. Just like civilised people do.
    1
  1286. I thought this is war. As a war time soldier, you either kill or be killed. Of course, you could surrender. Murder is only for peace time ( no war ) against civilians.
    1
  1287. Not waste of your tax $. Through the Russo-Ukraine war, most nations in Europe have become vassals of USA, the last prestige of Russia military was shattered and its economy damaged. As for innocent lives lost, they were Ukrainians, not Americans. No need to be sad.
    1
  1288. If that's the case, Russia has more rockets than Ukraine. So more Ukrainians killed than Russians ?
    1
  1289. NATO/EU already made it clear that the battleground to be limited only in Ukraine.
    1
  1290. Not ancient. Just WW1 and WW2.
    1
  1291. USA needed Soviet Union to defeat Hitler. Thus, the aids.
    1
  1292. You forgot to mention Greece was self-sufficient in war materials and money during war time.
    1
  1293. Yeah. Thus, Biden provided Zelensky with Make in USA cluster bombs to be used only in Ukraine against Ukrainian civilians.
    1
  1294. But the collective West demand results from Zelensky, after the grand counter offensive had been advertised throughout the world for more than half a year.
    1
  1295. It had been an attrition war since 2022.
    1
  1296. Maybe because NATO/EU would stop sending war materials and money, if Ukraine failed to pierce Russian lines of defense.
    1
  1297. The battle of the 1st defense line has not started. The worst is yet to come.
    1
  1298. Ukraine had failed in its grand counter offensive.
    1
  1299. They also told us that Russia was running very low on ammo and its economy would be devastated in 2022.
    1
  1300. I doubt so since Ukraine already used 3 brigades out of 12 for the battles of the outposts, how to break the 5 lines of Russian defense with the remaining 9 brigades, so as to break the supply lines ?
    1
  1301. Same with Russia that is not even using near their full force. Since the battles of the outposts haven't finished, the worst is yet to come. Meat grinder of Bakhmut again.....
    1
  1302. You were not describing CCP. You were describing DPP.
    1
  1303. 5/9/24 ( Thursday ) 11.20 am. PLA used VPN to camouflage ?! LOL.
    1
  1304. So the sensible Israel military decision is to bury the Hamas fighters in their collasped buildings. As high commander of NOD had ordered, "leave no major structural left standing". The civilian casualties would be considered as collateral damage.
    1
  1305. Why would Israel want to take casualties when it could blockade Gaza and level the Strip.
    1
  1306. Or as young as 16 ? Last I heard, the average age of infantry is over 30 years old.
    1
  1307. Decades ? Not so. USA had updated that Ukraine would run out of artillery shells by Jan 2024. With Ukraine not having enough Weapons, Ammo, Manpower and MONEY, Putin might be thinking launching his own counter-offensive in 2024 to grab more lands if Zelensky fail to concede to defeat.
    1
  1308. LOL. Brilliant. You made a poem out of the situation.
    1
  1309. If the Ukrainians lost 25% of its fighting forces in this one event. The Russians could have a mini celebration.
    1
  1310. Zelensky could not defend what Ukraine had left because the country is entirely dependent on NATO/EU supports for its war against Russia, and they demanded results from Ukraine to justify their supports. I am not sure about Ukraine after Zelensky but I believed Russia would not end up like Yugoslavia, as the Russians had gone through the chaos and hopelessness after the collapse of Soviet Union, and the failure of democracy under Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
    1
  1311. Weren't those missiles being used up or the battery being damaged by Dagger ?
    1
  1312. After proclaiming 25% of offensive forces being wiped out, can't blame many people rejoiced.
    1
  1313. Current ? He's only doing a summary of the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war. So it's still "history".
    1
  1314. @notamurderer6226  Fight ? Tell that to those 10 million Ukrainians who fled Ukraine instead of fighting for their homeland.
    1
  1315. If not for NATO, USA and its allies interventions, Russia would have won in 2022.
    1
  1316. The city of "Kiev" is related to Ukraine ?
    1
  1317. No country, just the organisation of NATO.
    1
  1318. I doubt so. It's more like Kursk.
    1
  1319. 3/9/24 ( Tuesday ) 9.15 am. Happy Birthday to the creator of HistoryLegend.
    1
  1320. There's a difference between Russia and USA recruitment of soldiers. Since its wartime, Russia is drafting for conscripts. Offering money for mercenaries. No jail time and free of criminal records for jailbirds. Whereas, in USA. Its more of a paid job to be a "safe" soldier. Unless USA is as forceful as Russia, few would want to fight and die.
    1
  1321. We maybe laughing but Zelensky would be crying. USA had cut all aids to Ukraine in favour of Nazi Israel. EU would also not be funding €50 billion to Ukraine. By 2024, Ukraine would not be able to pay its government employees and soldiers. Would those soldiers fight and die for their country for free ?
    1
  1322. You forgot to add - against much weaker opponent.
    1
  1323. He's pro-Russian.
    1
  1324. Unless Trump wins the election, then its another story.
    1
  1325. Many Ukrainians described Russian military as Orcs, thus the reference to Eye of Sauron.
    1
  1326. According to this channel, its MILF. The Ukrainian military do have a sense of humour.
    1
  1327.  @bendiewan3791  Definitely it's better for Russia, not so for Ukraine. Especially when Ukraine used up all its elite brigades equipped with 100% NATO weapons.
    1
  1328. Unstoppable. Just grounded M1.
    1
  1329. The Ring still lost.
    1
  1330. Western media praised Ukraine for their massive gains, so same standard should be applied to Russia.
    1
  1331. Leopard 1 tanks - produced in 1960's.
    1
  1332. ​ @Sander-cu4ns When ? Year 2024. USA updated that Ukraine would run out of artillery shells by Jan 2024. Putin could launch his counter-offensive with overwhelming firepower.
    1
  1333. Your suggestion is not the best path for Russia.
    1
  1334. ​ @alex-0 According to the Internet info, few hundred Ukrainians went into Khursk area.....I doubt they could hold the area for the long term. May they rest in peace.
    1
  1335. @RamonAnt  Bad strategy planning ? When the World knew Zelensky had to beg more of everything from NATO/EU, even to ask them to send back male Ukrainian refugees in Europe to defend their homeland, w/o hope of retaking the 4 regions and Crimea, Zelensky launched an attack at Kursk position.....that is beyond bad strategy planning.....that is only PR stunt with Ukrainians blood.
    1
  1336. Do not have anything better ? That's why he reported on the battles at Avdiivka position.
    1
  1337. Maybe because it's just Zelensky PR stunt. The few hundred suicidal Ukrainians soldiers would not be able to hold the settlement for the long term.
    1
  1338. Different battlefields. Ukrainians went into northern Kursk, the Russians advancing western Avdiivka. The question is, would the few hundred Ukrainians be able to hold the area for the long term ?
    1
  1339. @jiros00  Pretends to be neutral ? Everybody who watched his video knew he's pro Russia, but he used Western media sources to back up his claims, and he only reported victories of Russia after the dust of fighting had settled with analysis. That is honesty to us and to you.
    1
  1340. If you just want to hear Ukraine is winning, you could switch to, for example - Reporting from Ukraine.
    1
  1341. You're mistaken. Soviet Union was a superpower. A much smaller and weaker Russia is not a superpower. Its a regional power with nukes.
    1
  1342. Poland is pondering the idea of sending a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to Ukraine to defend their homeland.
    1
  1343. ​ @borislav1983  Poland is pondering the idea of sending a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to Ukraine to defend their homeland.

  1344. CIA taught the tactics to Osama bin Laden in the 1980's against Russia. USA, the 1st.
    1
  1345. Poland is pondering the idea of sending a few hundred thousand Ukrainians back to Ukraine to defend their homeland. Manpower shortage for war solve if Poland goes through the plan.
    1
  1346. Europe could send the 3rd world migrants to shitty Ukraine to fight as well.
    1
  1347. A war that was instigated by USA. Thus, NATO needs to level up with the involvement of US for as long as the war takes.
    1
  1348. Same with Ukraine. Zelensky had advertised worldwide that he would celebrate the victory in Crimea with his grand summer counter-offensive of 2023. Joker of Gotham City would have praised the comedian.
    1
  1349. ​ @Sander-cu4ns  Meanwhile, Putin's underlings were happy. Promotion time !
    1
  1350. Which means the American and British army are weaker than Russian since they dared not even face them in Ukraine in 2022.
    1
  1351. The Russians had reverted back to Soviet style assaults.
    1
  1352. And you still believe that Ukraine is winning.
    1
  1353. ​ @Sander-cu4ns  And Ukraine, the once main military weapons production base of Soviet Union, now needs USA and the entire NATO to provide weapons and ammo for its conscripts. So pathetic.
    1
  1354. Yes.
    1
  1355. Russian shovels and washing machines are slowly winning against wonder and game changers.
    1
  1356. 9/7/24 ( Tuesday ) 10.01 am. That's the 1st time I've heard there's a Niu York in Ukraine. Any settlement that's sounded like Washington ?
    1
  1357. No need double standard. Have you forgotten USA support Israel in bombing schools, hospitals, places of worship and refugee camps ? USA should look at the mirror.
    1
  1358. The big man, middlemen, and employees need to get their shares.
    1
  1359. Have you forgotten Ukraine also suffered 5 to 600,000 casualties during 3 years of war with tens of millions of refugees in Europe ? If you said Russia is pathetic, so is Ukraine.
    1
  1360. Alex is pro-Russia.
    1
  1361. Why asked that question ? It's his choice to support a side. Just like other youtubers chose to pro Ukraine which is advancing towards Kiev.
    1
  1362. For 2023, Russia had to deal with the grand Zelensky summer counter-offensive. For the 1st half of the year, Russia was busy in the Kharkiv and Donbas regions.
    1
  1363. According to the guy, tanks destroyed, land still lost. So it's "truth" to the Ukrainians and Russians.
    1
  1364. Why did he only cover Russian gains ? Maybe because Ukraine kept losing land in 2024 ?
    1
  1365. Compared to Ukraine, Taiwan would be a simple case. China would blockade the island of Taiwan, preventing any outside assistance and supplies to it. After 2 weeks of heavy bombardment to the whole island, Taiwan would be forced to surrender.
    1
  1366. I think the West was saying about Kharkiv region while the guy was talking about Luhansk region.
    1
  1367. But not as fast as Ukraine or USA wanted. There's still 3 or 4 defense lines for Ukraine to breakthrough before winter 2023.
    1
  1368.  @summer7603  By then, Ukraine would just like a warring state in Africa. Hope that Zelensky would realize he could not win the attrition war against Russia, and start negotiate for peace before Ukraine becomes a failed state.
    1
  1369.  @summer7603  If they could defend Zelensky size and height trenches, then they had done their purpose. Don't underestimate children soldiers, Africa has lots of them and they show their prowess in battles.
    1
  1370.  @summer7603  They could still use guns and defend trenches.
    1
  1371.  @summer7603  Zelensky might have to send in children soldiers.
    1
  1372.  @summer7603  That's for USA to decide.
    1
  1373. Every inch of the way in count.
    1
  1374. Not so. Its because countless had experienced suffering and loss, especially on Ukraine side that it would be a catalyst for future conflicts. For now, its USA that is continuing the Russo-Ukraine war with their supports of Zelensky. But for how long ?
    1
  1375. USA : Only cluster bombs to kill Russian soldiers and Ukrainian civilians. Ukraine : Thank you.
    1
  1376.  @milaro222  What ? 15 waves of total mobilization ? Russia only 2. Zelensky really want to fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1377. Its Zelensky fault for postponing the grand counter offensive from winter to spring to summer. Some commentators said that the actual assualt, still not yet started until the arrival of F16.
    1
  1378.  @shevasen56  Maybe because Russia still has not declare "full" war on Ukraine. To Russia, its still a "special military operation". So no "full force" against Ukraine. Its Sep 2023, 1.5 years after 24/2/22 and Putin still discussing military exercise with North Korea and China in the Pacific.
    1
  1379. Every inch of the way forward count.
    1
  1380.  @M_M-1  If Zelensky could not even offer any counter-offensive potential, then Ukraine is lost.
    1
  1381.  @M_M-1  Minuses ? You mean less Ukrainians after the war ended ?
    1
  1382.  @M_M-1  Yes. ( As you said ) Most of those who left country in Feb 2022 came back. ( Continued by me ) So more patriotic conscripts for the grand Zelensky counter-offensive.
    1
  1383.  @M_M-1  So more patriotic conscripts for the grand Zelensky counter-offensive.
    1
  1384.  @M_M-1  Yeah. I just only know that Ukraine is currently being depopulated by the war.
    1
  1385. Yeah. Except that after 2 months of counter-offensive, Ukraine is short of patriotic manpower for war. Zelensky might need to draft those refugees that Poland proposed to send back to the frontlines.
    1
  1386. If its such the case, then NATO training had failed Ukraine.
    1
  1387. Not so for NATO. They crushed Iraq and Afghanistan in one month. Set up No Fly Zone in Libya and flew supreme over Libyan air space.
    1
  1388. No chance. Ukraine is a pawn of USA to drag Russia down with it to hell so that USA could deal with its arch-enemy, China.
    1
  1389. Talk so much for what ? Might as well nuke Russia.
    1
  1390. For money ?
    1
  1391. Don't have high expectations from 20th century planes piloted by Ukrainian. Still remember the wonder weapons of NLAW, Javalins, M777 ? Long time no news from them. How about wonder tanks and armored vehicles ? Leopard and Bradley, became scrap metals.
    1
  1392. If you really thought so, vote out the government that sent billions in the next election.

  1395.  @alexanderlunacharsky96  What I remembered was 2 mobilizations. The 1st time drafted 300,000 conscripts. The 2nd time drafted 400,000 conscripts. Total : 700,000 conscripts. Whether Russia succeed in drafting so many soldiers is another matter.
    1
  1396. Yeah. Refugees from Africa, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan want to move to Europe.
    1
  1397. Because NATO/EU and Ukraine don't want peace ?
    1
  1398. He claimed to be using sources from CNN and Ukraine maps for this video.
    1
  1399.  @el52  Wow, you wrote an essay. For me, its obvious that Ukraine is at a disadvantage because it is totally dependent on NATO/EU charity supports against Russia self-sufficient invaders. Ukraine is also having manpower shortage for war as it conducted 15th total military mobilization compared to Russia's 2 mobilization. If the war continues, Zelensky would have to send children to the frontline. I think its better for Zelensky to initiate peace negotiations rather than begging for everything from stingy NATO/EU donors.
    1
  1400. You could also blame CNN and Ukrainian mappers. He claimed to use sources from them for the video.
    1
  1401. I would not say that NATO/EU military is superior than Russia given its recent records. The whole world witnessed the humiliation of USA and its NATO allies fleeing from Afghsnistan in 2021, abandoning its people back to a bunch of terrorists, Taliban. USA and UK dare not send hundred of thousand of formal, professional soldiers to face "incompetent" Russian soldiers in Ukraine in 2022, even as both countries had signed a guarantee security agreements with Ukraine. As for military equipments that Poland had acquired, Ukraine also received those "wonder" weapons. But where are they now ? Ukrainian conscripts are also being trained in Poland, but their "performance" against Russia are "unsatisfactory".
    1
  1402. If Made in USA cluster bombs end up in black markets, used by terrorists against American citizens. Would Biden be charged ? Wait. By then, he would have died of old age. Damned.
    1
  1403.  @atamavi3003  You said the offensive is half way over but the end result still remained like that ? No wonder many said that the grand counter offensive had failed.
    1
  1404.  @dannylad1600  What the original comment meant was that USA had not answered for its armed intervention, regimes change, invasions and sanctions around the world for the past 50 years.
    1
  1405. Perhaps Ukraine is waiting for winter to start operation in full scale ?
    1
  1406. This channel provided entertainment but also informations from CNN, and maps from Ukraine that pro-Ukrainian channel don't want us to know.
    1
  1407. A commentator said that Ukraine is conducting 15th total mobilization. I knew Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war, but not that acute. This showed that the grand counter offensive is not going well. Too many soldiers died. If it continues, Zelensky would be sending children to the frontline.
    1
  1408. F-16s were so 20th century. I doubt those planes would make much of a difference unless piloted by American top guns. You still believe Ukraine setting up a major attack ? After it postponed its grand counter offensive from winter to spring to summer ? No time already, soon it would Autumn and Ukraine has yet to break through Russia defense lines.
    1
  1409. Ukraine conducted 15th total mobilization as compared to Russia 2 mobilization. So I think its Ukrainians that were getting hammered. Especially at Bakhmut.
    1
  1410. I thought its the other way round with the expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe even after the collapse of Soviet Union. Then USA Vice-President Kamala formally welcomed Ukraine to join NATO, and planning to deploy nuclear missiles in it. Remember Cuba Crisis ? Zelensky, the comedian, did not learn the lesson after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 that Putin was serious about war if he crossed the red lines. Zelensky was also naive to believe that USA and UK would send troops to help Ukraine against Russia, even though both countries had signed guarantee security agreements with Ukraine. In the end, USA and UK had no courage to face Russia in Ukraine. Not even No Fly Zone was set up despite begging from Zelensky. NATO/EU naively believe Russia economy would be destroyed by their economic sanctions onslaught. Remember Biden wanted Rubles to become waste paper ? That did not happen and USA and Europe economies was impacted by Russia energy sanctions. Lets see how events would unfold in 2023/4 regarding Russo-Ukraine war.
    1
  1411. Because they only wanted the 4 regions and Crimea ?
    1
  1412. By your logic, Russia not the big joke. USA was, still is. Remembered how USA fled Afghanistan and abandoned its people to a bunch of terrorists in 2021 ? To rub salt to injury, USA needed Taliban to maintain law and order before its soldiers could flew away, dropping people from the plane.
    1
  1413. Russia learnt it from USA and NATO.
    1
  1414.  @Calzaghe83  Not so. The Russian shovols stopped the NATO equipped Ukrainian counter-offensive troops for 2 months, that's a miracle.
    1
  1415. Really ? A commentator said Its General Milley of USA, not Putin.
    1
  1416.  @nobbynobbs8182  Not fake news. TV news also broadcasted that Russia and Ukraine were negotiating for peace in Turkey in 2022 until USA intervened.
    1
  1417. Not so. This guy claimed that he's using CNN and Ukraine's maps as sources for this video.
    1
  1418. If Russia is successful, then Ukraine would become an improverished inland state, as their most industrialised area are taken over by Russia, their agricultural lands reduced by the usage of "toxic" ammunitions, mines and cluster bombs, it would have to repay the lend/lease with high interest back to USA for many generations. It would also at the mercy of eastern Europe which could sanction it if it displeasure them ( they already done it, once ). Ukraine was 1 of the poorest in Europe before the war. After the war, it would be the poorest.
    1
  1419. The great depression ?
    1
  1420. An unnecessary war that was been instigated by evil USA, trusted and obey by the naive comedian Zelensky fool, and by a dictatorial Putin that kept his words.
    1
  1421. Quite entertaining.
    1
  1422. There were propaganda on both sides. I only knew that Ukraine is been depopulated by the war, as Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors for the meat grinders.
    1
  1423. Perhaps to him, Russians had "stopped" Ukrainians to Azov Sea for the entire season of Summer.
    1
  1424.  @ReadmanJ  I doubt that's not what the citizens of NATO/EU have in their minds.
    1
  1425.  @doc7440  Who will tire first, the West or Russia ? Maybe the West. If Donald Trump wins the election, the war would be over in "24 hours". The rest of NATO/EU are unwilling to share USA lend/lease "loads" to Ukraine if USA pulls out from the war. Ukraine does not want to surrender but it is having manpower shortage for war. It had conducted 15 rounds of military mobilizations compared to Russia 2 mobilizations. Ukrainian minors and elders are already been sent to the frontline. If it continues, Zelensky might have to send children soldiers. Since Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU "charity" supports while Russia is self-sufficient in the attrition war, Zelensky would most likely initiate peace negotiations in Russia favour.
    1
  1426. 5 weeks liberating 253 square kilometers of territory. With this speed, NATO/EU have to sustain Zelensky for years before he get a chance to liberate the 4 regions and Crimea from Russia.
    1
  1427. A commentator had said that Ukraine having a 15th total mobilization ! Zelensky really wants to depopulate Ukraine.
    1
  1428. Then they mass bombarded the attackers. Regrouped the units and counter striked the attackers until they retreated. Counter offensive stopped.
    1
  1429. I think I understood a bit. The definition of Russian ( defensive side ) defeat of Ukrainian is to eliminate as many offensive force as possible before they "meet" the 1st defense line. The definition of Ukrainian ( offensive side ) defeat of Russian is to take back as much land as possible even if it meant heavy casualties. Thus, it explained your paradoxon of "with every disastrous defeat of the Ukrainians, the Russians are retreating further".
    1
  1430. I thought Russia is against NATO/EU and Ukraine ?
    1
  1431.  @r3dpowel796  So sarcastic.
    1
  1432.  @Eluzian86  OK then I'll comment that Russia would win the Russo-Ukraine war by means of favourable peace negotiations or ceasefire. Lets see how my comment will age. Since you claimed not to have all the knowledge on what's happening in the conflict, I'll try to fill you some. By now you should have known NATO/EU had failed to destroy Russia economy, and had been hurt by its economic sanctions backlash in 2022. For the current situations : 1) USA had cut almost all aids to Ukraine in Oct 23 ( no need to wait for Donald Trump to become President ). 2) The hard-core supporter of Ukraine, Poland had turned to enemy as it sanctioned Ukraine's grains export. 3) Denmark and Netherlands would only donate retired 40 - 50 year old F16 to Ukraine - not effective against SU 30 and MIG 31. 4) Ukraine having manpower shortage for war - Zelensky is sending minors and elders to the frontlines. All the above situations would effect Ukraine negatively for its resistance in 2024.
    1
  1433. 1 month later, your comment didn't age well.
    1
  1434. A commentator claimed that Ukraine is having a 15th total mobilization. I knew Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war but not this acute. I think its the Russian carthaginian solution - Let Zelensky fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1435. Can't blame them. A commentator claimed that Ukraine is having a 15th total mobilization. It means that those pro-Ukrainians, if they are Ukrainian might have a chance of going to the front line. So they needed to vent their anger.
    1
  1436. You forgot to add in that most of the Russian defensive forces have not yet engaged.
    1
  1437. So do Ukrainians.
    1
  1438. A commentator claimed that Ukraine conducted 15th rounds of total mobilization. I knew that Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war, but not this acute. Zelensky is already sending minors and elders to the frontline. If it continues, he would be sending children to hold the frontline. On the surface, Ukraine is liberating villages but would Zelensky has enough "high morale" soldiers to hold them as the grand counter offensive continues ?
    1
  1439. 29/1/24 ( Monday ) 6.41 pm. Behold ! The power of Shovels and Pickaxe !
    1
  1440. And Gaza Strip, stripless.
    1
  1441. Then the fortunate Palestinian survivors would go to Europe to be resettled.
    1
  1442. They have been inspired by ISIS which learned it from Osama bin Laden who was been trained by CIA. Do you dare to say USA, babaric ?
    1
  1443. 8/1/24 ( Monday ) 10.19 am. Need vehicles to form machanized brigades in 2024 ? Ukraine could consider battle tested Toyota trucks.
    1
  1444. It seemed that you didn't know that your weak, old Russian lady had regained half of Kursk and was currently overrunning the eastern frontline. Meanwhile, Zelensky was going around Europe and USA begging more of everything, and imploring Europe to send back the Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine to fight and die for their country.
    1
  1445. Both ? USA/NATO mass bombed Yugoslavia until it surrendered. Even China Embassy was bombed, its tantamount to declaring war to China. Luckily, China was weak at that time. As for Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, USA did invade and attack them.
    1
  1446. Trump might do what you said.
    1
  1447. The root cause was Biden USA.
    1
  1448. USA doesn't even recognise ROC ( Taiwan ) as a country.
    1
  1449. For lots of money ?
    1
  1450. Not so. Ukraine don't have everything to punch through Russia air superiority and enough armour to achieve their objectives. Zelensky does not have squadrons of F35 and thousands of western tanks and armours. NATO tactics were useless. Ironically, Soviet style tactics gave Ukraine some success.
    1
  1451. Wait after Israel crush HAMAS, then we might have a clearer picture.
    1
  1452.  @tomhenriksen5574  What points that you mentioned still stand ? At least, I had answered your question of "So Russia is winning ?" with my 7 points.
    1
  1453.  @tomhenriksen5574  Really ? You refuted the 7 points that I pointed out ? I didn't see it.
    1
  1454.  @tomhenriksen5574  For what you had said, you could not refute the points that I had pointed out.
    1
  1455. What now when Ally Poland had turned to enemy of Ukraine and Ally USA had abandoned Ukraine ?
    1
  1456. According to Taiwan international news media, Russia had assembled 110,000 soldiers and over 1000 tanks for its counter-attack. That means its still too early for Ukraine to celebrate its minor victory. Bad news for Zelensky, even you had pivot your report on Gaza and Israel. After USA had cut almost all aids to Ukraine, it would get even less after Israel-HAMAS conflict exploded.
    1
  1457. Zelensky is "urging" Ukrainian women to fight for the country.
    1
  1458. I thought its Russian accent ?
    1
  1459. Not only throwing grandpa into the fight, but minors as well. Ukraine conscription age is now set at 16 - over 60 years old.
    1
  1460. Not so. The 1st criminal is Biden who instigated Zelensky to provoke Putin into war.
    1
  1461.  @trentonking764  May not be. Poland might return 3 million Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine for Zelensky to draft conscripts for war.
    1
  1462. For the Americans, its not nonsense. Russia is being dragged into hell with Ukraine, and unfortunately the rest of Europe, just as USA had planned. Don't worry, no official American civilian life lost in battle. Only Ukrainian and Russian civilians. Also, no American tax dollars been sent as USA, with its 33 trillion debts borrowed money to give aids to Ukraine.
    1
  1463. Anything Putin has failed ? As a former KGB agent, Putin failed to be merciless to Ukraine on his 3 day Special Military Operation. He thought Ukrainians and Russians were brothers and Kiev to be the birthplace of Rus. If he had bombed Kiev like the Americans bombed Saddam Hussein Iraq on Day 1, or the current ( Oct 2023 ) Israelis bombing of HAMAS Gaza Strip, Zelensky would not have the guts to walk the streets in Kiev, daring Putin to come for him, in the process inspired Ukrainians for the resistance. KGB Putin "soft-heartedness" failed the success of the special operation and caused countless lives of both sides to be lost in the attrition war.
    1
  1464. Its the expectations of the collective West that with its wonder and game changer weapons, coupled with superior NATO training standard, Ukraine would acheived great success with its grand counter-offensive, against Soviet style army equipped with WW1 and WW2 weapons.
    1
  1465. Ukraine lost the Zelensky grand Summer counter-offensive because its now Oct 2023. No celebrating victory in Crimea nor see the sight of Azov Sea.
    1
  1466. Its now Oct 2023. Perhaps you didn't notice he's referring to Zelensky SUMMER counter-offensive which ended in failure.
    1
  1467. I also had the same thought until I saw the map. 3 - 4 months of fighting and this was it ? And western media called it victories for Ukraine.
    1
  1468. Not his actions, its NATO/EU actions that say no.
    1
  1469. You could say she got a lifestyle to maintain.
    1
  1470. You're off track. This video is about failures of Zelensky grand summer counter-offensive.
    1
  1471. Women already died in the war. The women soldiers were all perished within 24 hours of 24/2/22.
    1
  1472. Don't have high hopes for the F16. Denmark and Netherlands only donating retired 40 to 50 years old jets to Ukraine, not so effective against SU-30 and MIG-31. Same with Putin, Zelensky is also having manpower shortage for war. He already sending minors and elders to the frontlines, next would be women. At least women could claim they enjoy equal rights.
    1
  1473. Yet Ukraine could not export its grains through the Black Sea even if it "dominate" the sea. Crimea strikes might be a success but the Russians still controlled it which is a failure for Ukraine. Summer was over. Could Zelensky continues to afford the offensive in Winter ?
    1
  1474.  @seen7163  LOL. LOL. Such a creative answer.
    1
  1475. Not so. Its safe to say that American will see the money back, when Ukraine repay the lend/lease amount with high interest for decades, if not for 100 years to come after it lose the Russo-Ukraine war.
    1
  1476.  @frogfrog8130  Not threats from Ukraine, its threats Against Ukraine. We've all heard threats like "there would be consequences if you cross the red line" or something like, "there would be war" that kind of stuff with some war exercises on the border. But that stupid, naive comedian Zelensky fool still wanted to join NATO which USA would deploy nuclear weapons after Ukraine become a member. If USA could not tolerate Cuba to deploy Soviet nuclear missiles, how could anyone expected Putin to tolerate US nuclear missiles pointing at Moscow ? That buffoon Zelensky was blinded to see Putin was very serious about war with its annexation of Crimea as example. As "Tzar" Putin from KGB, he could not back down from his threats. So there's only War.
    1
  1477. What should we do explain to the mothers ? Just tell them that USA used Ukraine as a pawn to drag Russia with it to hell. For what ? MAGA ( make America great again ). Fuck'n human stupidity ? Not so. For Biden, he's only senile. Not stupid. For Zelensky, he's just a comedian before becoming President. Not stupid. For Putin, he's only forced to react to his threats against Ukraine. Not stupid.
    1
  1478. How long ? Longer than the NATO/EU donations to Ukraine.
    1
  1479. No need to be mad. Since US national debts amounted to 33 trillion, just think that the government borrowed money to send aids to Ukraine.
    1
  1480.  @zaplakailol  Yes. Its not the Ukrainians fault but USA, which instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia into waging war.
    1
  1481. After USA cut almost all aids to Ukraine, Poland sanctioned Ukraine's grains export, Denmark and Netherlands to donate only retired 1970's and 1980's F16 ( no good against MIG 31 and SU 30 ), Russia might try its counter counter-offensive in 2024.
    1
  1482. It seemed that Putin is satisfied in holding on to pro-Russia territories ( for now ).
    1
  1483. Don't be sad. The American money been sent to Ukraine was not wasted. Russia is being pulled down to hell with Ukraine and Europe just as USA had planned.
    1
  1484. For your essay, Ukraine did not refute western media optimistism for Zelensky grand counter-offensive for the past 1 year, so Ukraine has to bear the "failure".
    1
  1485. Its now Oct 2023. Its justifiable to say that Zelensky grand summer counter-offensive had failed.
    1
  1486. Perhaps you didn't get memo that hard core supporter of Ukraine, Poland had turned to enemy and USA had cut all aids to Ukraine ( no need to wait for Donald Trump to become President ). Now is Oct 2023. The video is correct in saying Ukraine is finished with its Summer Offensive.
    1
  1487. You don't know why Zelensky needed to go on this counter offensive with limited resources ? It is because he has to show positive results to his NATO/EU donors.
    1
  1488. Only 65 years ? According to a Taiwan "expert", it would take Ukraine, 300 years to recover the 4 regions and Crimea.
    1
  1489. The media in USA and Europe are pro-Ukraine, they would not report good news about Russia. Life ignored by warmongers ? Of course they ignored. Only Ukrainian lives, no American lives been lost. NATO/EU would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1490. For Zelensky, his grand Summer counter-offensive had failed. No retaking of Crimea. No reaching to Azov Sea.
    1
  1491. Russia, the most sanctioned country in the world ? Not so. The honours belong to Cuba and North Korea. Both countries still exist ! On the strategy level, Ukraine had lost the war despite minor tactical gains. USA had cut almost all aids to Ukraine ( No need to wait for Donald Trump to become President ). Poland, the hard-core supporter of Ukraine has became its enemy by sanctioning its grains export. Denmark and Netherlands would only donate retired 1970's and 1980's F16 to Ukraine. ( Not good against MIG 31 and SU 30 ). Germany is upset that Ukraine returned back 50 donated "bad-conditioned" Leopard 1 tanks ( How could Ukraine so picky ? ). Worse, Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war as minors and elders been drafted and sent to the frontlines. Strategically, how would Zelensky afford another counter-offensive in 2024 with "stingy" donors, "unpatriotic" Ukrainian men ( "patriotic" men had almost died off during the past 1 and 1/2 year ) and a "humble" 1st lady of Ukraine that purchased Only 1.1 million USD worth of Jewellery at 5th Avenue ( PR disaster ). I repeat, on the strategic level, Ukraine had lost the war.
    1
  1492. Pyrrhic victory of Russia over Ukraine ? Russia haven't mobilize its 1 million regulars to Ukraine yet. What did Russia actually win from this war ? Staying true to its threats. No leaders of the world would lightly dismiss Russia threats like Ukraine, ever again, by crossing Putin drawn red lines without much thoughts. Bad news for Japan. Even if China wanted to buddy-buddy with Europe, USA would make sure Europe stays anti-China. People of the world appreciated that Russians only bombed limited civilian targets during 1 and 1/2 years of war, as compared to USA bombing of Saddam Hussein Iraq.
    1
  1493. Then Zekensky would have no reason to beg for billions USD. He has a million USD wife to maintain.
    1
  1494. Land for Peace ?
    1
  1495. Furious air fights ? Those F16 from Denmark and Netherlands are planes that are going to be retired. It means that those planes are from 1970's to 1980's era. They might have even fight with MIG 29 or SU 27, but against MIG 31 or SU 30 and above, they better run, no flee.
    1
  1496.  @worfoz  So what you mean is that the abusive child ( Russia ), after many years had became so strong that it punishes Ukraine ( Evil Empress mother ) ?
    1
  1497.  @worfoz  Why does Russia exist ? Have to ask Ukraine as Kiev is the birthplace of Rus.
    1
  1498. So Zelensky is drafting minors and elders into the war.
    1
  1499. Of course the lads are enjoying, Denmark and Netherlands are only donating retired F16 that had served them since 1970's and 1980's to Ukraine.
    1
  1500. In the process, Ukraine is massively bleeding theirs. It had became an attrition war which is advantageous to Russia with much more resources and population than Ukraine.
    1
  1501. Its called Summer counter-offensive because Zelensky launched the attack in June 2023, some acknowledged it to be in July 2023.
    1
  1502.  @TTTT-oc4eb  Unless its Ukraine which got much support from NATO/EU for the past 1 and 1/2 years.
    1
  1503. No. I've heard he's a Canadian French. Not very "low" but funny. He instills "drama" to his video.
    1
  1504. Don't you know he's pro-Russian ? Beside, the Black Sea admiral is still alive and conducting meetings.
    1
  1505.  @dankengine5304  Poland has lift sanction of Ukraine's grains ? Good news for Ukraine. No good news from USA though. Biden could only aid Ukraine in terms of hundred of millions of USD infrequently, but what Ukraine needs is in terms of billions of USD non-stop. As for manpower issue, Zelensky is already sending minors and elders to the frontlines. Zelensky has to stop attacking in winter, due to muddy and boggy land which the mechanized armours would be stucked in it.
    1
  1506.  @dankengine5304  Offensive crumble ? By the looks of it, yes. By Winter 2023, Zelensky would have to stop his grand counter-offensive. Perhaps he hoped for earlier winter ? But I doubt he could renew his counter-offensive in Spring 2024 after several some devastating circumstances had happened. For example, USA had cut almost all aids to Ukraine in Oct 2023. Poland had sanctioned Ukraine's grains export. Ukraine lack of manpower for war. No more wonder and game changer weapons, just old weapons and ammo etc.
    1
  1507.  @dankengine5304  Offensive not slow ? Then continue with Autumn/Winter counter offensive. The Summer offensive had failed.
    1
  1508.  @dankengine5304  Can't you see Ukraine strategy was to cut the 4 regions and Crimea into 2 pieces ?
    1
  1509. Its already Oct 2023. He just saying that Ukraine failed in its Summer counter-offensive. No celebrating of victory in Crimea. No viewing of Azov Sea.
    1
  1510. Don't you know he's pro-Russian ? Beside he didn't talk nonsense. Now is already Oct 2023, its clear that Zelensky grand Summer counter-offensive had failed - no celebrating of victory in Crimea, no viewing of Azov Sea.
    1
  1511.  @fuzonzord9301  Too exhausted to jump for their lives ? I've heard of "dead tired" but the term should not be used on them :( You are right that both sides have not exhausted their manpower. Putin hasn't mobilize his 1 million regulars yet, while Zelenky would have 3 miilion refugees to draft for conscripts if Poland really send them back.
    1
  1512. So that's the reason those 4 Ukrainian soldiers on the vehicle looked so emotionless and tired as the drone came for their life.
    1
  1513. You're describing Ukraine's 2024 grand counter-offensive which might not happen.
    1
  1514.  @kalleranta2260  It matters not. To the world which witnessed their cowardly abandonment of civilians, and betrayal of allies to the terrorists that they had created and vowed to destroy, it is both unacceptable and laughable of the strongest military in the world. US military would bear the humiliation for a very long time.
    1
  1515.  @kalleranta2260  Never underestimate the enemy. The whole world witnessed the strongest military in the world, fleeing from a bunch of terrorists with civilians dropping from their escape planes.
    1
  1516.  @joebloggs430  Thus by your acknowledgement, Ukraine's Summer Offensive Has Failed and ended in Oct 2023 after 3 - 4 months of fighting.
    1
  1517. Didn't you see the video used figures from BBC and Blogs from Ukrainian soldiers to analyze. Also Sep map as compared to map in Oct 2023. Perhaps to you, military hardwares are more valuable than Ukrainian lifes.
    1
  1518. I think he proposed that Ukraine is not winning as contrary to western media reporting which is getting less, even if the manpower shortage Ukrainian army is still standing, getting less resources from NATO/EU. In the end, Ukraine would lose the attrition war. Zelensky should seriously considered peace negotiations with Putin, even it means giving up the lost pro-Russian regions and be a permanent non-nucleared neutral state.
    1
  1519. Peace might come in 2024 since Ukraine largest supporter, USA had cut almost all aids to it ( no need to wait for Donald Trump to be President ). Also, its hard-core supporter in Europe, Poland had turned to enemy as it sanctioned Ukraine's grains export.
    1
  1520. Simply saying, Ukraine would lose the war without NATO/EU generous "donations".
    1
  1521. Ukrainian soldiers, tired of living. So sad.
    1
  1522. After USA cut off almost all aids to Ukraine, those mercenaries would have no reason to stay.
    1
  1523. And now is Oct 2023. Summer grand counter-offensive is over, Zelensky failed. Any more battles would be under Autumn/Winter extra counter-offensive.
    1
  1524. Not so. Zelensky is drafting elders for war as well.
    1
  1525. May not so. Zelensky might want those young widows to go for war to avenge their husbands.
    1
  1526. Because not enough artilleries, shells and drones ? Long time no heard of Swithchblade.
    1
  1527. Then your senator would tell you that Israel is more important that Ukraine. Want to send Tomahawk missiles ? Israel 1st.
    1
  1528. Don't you know his pro-Russian ? Since you knew there's plenty of info in telegram, go indulge it yourself.
    1
  1529.  @gaborrajnai6213  In Ukraine case, it embarrassed NATO by switching back to Soviet standard for the world to witness, in order for its army to have some success against Russia.
    1
  1530. Land for Peace.
    1
  1531. Yeah. Ukraine had switched gears, ditching NATO tactics in favour of Soviet style, embarassing NATO military in the process.
    1
  1532. Maybe because the western media portrayed Ukraine in having patriotic soldiers equipped with wonder and game changer weapons, whereas Russia is using waves of convicts (as you said ) equipped with WW1 and WW2 weapons.
    1
  1533.  @dankengine5304  USA and NATO vs Russia ? There would be over 11000 nuclear missiles flying over each other airspace. Spectacular end of the world scene
    1
  1534. So many Ukrainian men with money is trying to escape Ukraine.
    1
  1535. Since justice belong to the victor, some high ranking officials might face trial in International Court for Human Rights abuses, after Ukraine lose the war.
    1
  1536. Zelensky's wife then bought a 1.1 million USD jewellery from 5th Avenue. Zelensky still allowing his 1st lady to enjoy a luxurious life despite Ukraine under fire.
    1
  1537. "Reclaim some Ukraine territory" ? To the world, both east and west, that "some" is too "little" and "tiny".
    1
  1538.  @stefanrussellbouldering2375  Then that would mean Autumn/Winter extra counter-offensive, Summer counter-offensive is over for Ukraine.
    1
  1539. Now is already Oct 2023. Isn't the video right that Zelensky grand summer counter offensive ended in failure ?
    1
  1540.  @kj_heichou  As you had admitted it. Western Europe inflation before 24/2/22, not high. Now inflation is definitely bad even its mostly stopped growing.
    1
  1541. So are Ukrainian soldiers.
    1
  1542. Don't you know its for "drama" effect ? He's instilling comedy into the war reports.
    1
  1543. Its just long term business. With a national debt of 33 trillion, USA just borrow money to lend/lease to Ukraine with high interest. After Ukraine lose the war, it would repay back to USA for the next few decades or 100 years.
    1
  1544. Might not be since USA had cut almost all aids to Ukraine and Poland had from ally to enemy of Ukraine.
    1
  1545. I find his report not so biased. The West had send in their wonder and game changer weapons. Zelensky had postponed his grand counter-offensive from Winter 2022 to Spring to Summer 2023 so that his conscripts could have superior NATO training. The world expected Zelensky to celebrate victory in Crimea or viewing the Azov Sea after the offensive, not a small "bulge" on the map.
    1
  1546.  @gaborrajnai6213  If you are still around, good luck. Return home alive, sane mind and in 1 complete piece.
    1
  1547. Perhaps the news agencies are embarassed that USA betrayed Ukraine by cutting almost all aids to it ?
    1
  1548. Isn't Zelensky asking for 25 billion USD ?
    1
  1549.  @horoshkoaleksandr273  KGB + Meiji Emporer ?
    1
  1550. Chamberlain + Winston Churchill + Mussolini ?
    1
  1551. No boots on the ground.
    1
  1552. Ukraine would be blamed for the environment disaster in Black Sea.
    1
  1553. USA and UK had no courage to honour their guarantee security agreements with Ukraine.
    1
  1554. The pro-west had been saying the Russians are using shovels for the war.
    1
  1555. Perhaps Russia wanted to turn Kharkiv into another meat grinder ?
    1
  1556. Not long afterwards, 16 year old Ukrainian warriors would appear on the frontline. Stay strong.
    1
  1557. Of course the western politicians and media are upset. Ukraine is just a pawn of USA to drag Russia down with it to hell.
    1
  1558. Not just him but all of us "enjoying" the "war drama", including you. From the pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian content creators to the viewers to the commentators.
    1
  1559.  @flyzart8148  I think what he meant is both nations are of Slavic people.
    1
  1560.  @alexeytverdokhlib1206  From Taiwan international media outlet.
    1
  1561.  @alexeytverdokhlib1206  But it provides another side of the story that the pro-Ukrainian channels would not reveal.
    1
  1562. I would doubt that the grand Zelensky counter offensive is going well if 85% of the entire squad is lost. As for the accuracy of casualties, I only knew that Ukraine is having another round ( 16th ? ) of military mobilization targeting 16 year old minors.
    1
  1563. Now then you know ? If you want to listen to Ukraine winning, search for pro-Ukraine channels
    1
  1564. From your statement, you seemed to me, a pro-Ukrainian rather than neutral.
    1
  1565. Without him as head, the Russian defense ministry could "absorb" Wagner group, with their veterans imparting their "war experience" to the conscripts.
    1
  1566. You would have to wait till 2024 for the F16s in Ukraine.
    1
  1567. The world is on "fire" from global warming. Canada is still burning, South Europe also. Hawaii had been burnt but no US military nor American leaders cared. American lives don't matter. Many places/regions having temperature that reach 40°C. On the surface, Zelensky might be slowly retaking land back but he's having manpower shortage for war. Still remember he forbade 16 - 60 year old male Ukrainian from leaving in 2022 ? He already drafting minors and elders for war in 2023 ! Once Zelensky used up available abled Ukrainian men and boys.....I wondered how the war would be in 2024.
    1
  1568. This "lightning" Russian invasion of Feb 22 had evolved to "attrition" war. As you said, "Ukrainians are losing men and equipment, perhaps at an unsustainable rate". The key word is "sustainable". We all knew that Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO charities in everything for war. Be it money, ammo, weapons and training. Also, Ukraine is having manpower shortage for war as it is having another round of military mobilization ( 16 or 17 rounds ? ) targeting 16 year old minors. Meanwhile, Russia is self-sufficient for this war. So much so that it was able to hold military exercises with Belarus, China, Iran and South Africa. Recently it shot a rocket to the moon to do scientific research but ended in failure. Russia had not even exerted 100% against Ukraine while NATO is showing signs of "tiredness" of this war. Zelensky should end the war ASAP before he had to send children to the frontline.
    1
  1569. USA forbade Ukraine to start grand counter offensive in summer 2024.
    1
  1570. Its Zelensky's fault.
    1
  1571. There are - Ukraine just need to recognise the "whole" 4 regions and Crimea belong to Russia, say no in joining NATO and EU, be a permanent non nuclear neutral state, and re-recognised Russian language and culture in Ukraine. For example, re-dated the Christmas Day from Dec 25 to Jan 7. In return, Russia stops invasion. Peace prevail !
    1
  1572. A retreat that made Zelensky looked bad to NATO/EU.
    1
  1573. I agreed with you. Compared with those shells, the drones were too small.
    1
  1574. Yes.
    1
  1575. Perhaps they were mercenaries ?
    1
  1576. Because of the unwilling and unfortunate Ukrainian conscripts ?
    1
  1577.  @tonythai5991  1 month later ( Kursk ) Ukraine : SMA, special military advances.
    1
  1578. Isn't Russo-Ukraine war, a 10 year attrition war ? Its too early for NATO to make that promise.
    1
  1579. No need to ask. There are no good guys in Russo-Ukraine war.
    1
  1580. Zelensky had requested Europe to send back its Ukrainian refugees to defend their homeland. Poland is already considering the option and has set up a Ukrainian Volunteer Corp.
    1
  1581. @Boom.Desjardins  Russia really might have a chance to get out of the war stronger than NATO. Europe is facing harsh economic difficulties due to anti-China stance, backstabbing from USA and Russia economic counter-sanctions backlash. USA beacon of democracy and human rights light had extinguished. It is losing its economic, technological and geopolitical wars to China. Itself is having a civil war of Democrats vs Republicans. By contrast, after Russia withstood the intense economic sanctions onslaught from NATO/EU in 2022, its economy and politics are more stable than Europe and USA, though it will lose 300 billion USD worth of foreign reserve and assets through the illegal frozen and confiscation from NATO/EU.
    1
  1582. Zelensky gave Putin, 6 months to prepare the defenses.
    1
  1583. It seemed that you can't handle the truth that Zelensky grand counter offensive had failed.
    1
  1584. Destroyed by Russia in 2022.
    1
  1585.  @Marrothefirst  You are making no sense. Zelensky grand counter offensive had failed without retaking the 4 regions and Crimea. Ukraine is losing the attrition war. Biden had "only" old cluster bombs to lend/lease to Zelensky, to be used only in Ukraine to kill its own people. They do not value human life, as long as its not American. Its pure stupidity of Ukraine politicians and Zelensky to give excuses to Putin to invade the country, twice.
    1
  1586.  @Marrothefirst  Perhaps you the one who seem lost. Before the Russo-Ukraine war, if Zelensky could tolerate Putin occupied Crimea without declaring war to retake it back, it would be easier for him to let Putin have the 4 regions and Crimea, and be a permanent non nuclear neutral state to end the attrition war that Ukraine is losing. Do you not understand the situation ?
    1
  1587.  @Marrothefirst  Sure can. If Zelensky could let Putin had Crimea after he became president without declaring war to him, he could let Putin have the 4 regions and Crimea to end the attrition war, and Ukraine becomes a permanent non nuclear neutral state.
    1
  1588.  @selfpity8674  Need to worry because the West is now broke. USA is so broke that it needed to send Yellen to borrow money from its current arch-enemy, China.
    1
  1589. Lets see how well Putin counter offensive goes as compared to Zelensky counter offensive.
    1
  1590.  @Gino12164  News flash : USA is in same military category with Russia or it had already destroyed Taliban in 2 months.
    1
  1591.  @Marrothefirst  It seemed that one of Putin's goal was to control the Russian speaking sector of Ukraine. Not the whole Ukraine. For now, Putin succeeded in defending the occupied area from Zelensky.
    1
  1592.  @Casual_Comment  There's no such thing as NATO automatic domination of the sky and battlefield against Russia. Soldiers and pilots from USA and other 30 European countries had to fight and die hard for it. Remembered that USA was forced out of North Korea by the ill-equipped Chinese in the Korean war. Defeated by Vietcong in the Vietnam war and shamefully fled from a bunch of Afghan terrorists, Taliban for the whole world to witness.
    1
  1593.  khaotik_9964  Please read the original comment.
    1
  1594.  khaotik_9964  Then Zelensky should fire Zaluzhnyi for the "depressing" blunder.
    1
  1595.  khaotik_9964  Then who is the military commander in chief of Ukraine, if not Zelensky ?
    1
  1596.  khaotik_9964  Yes.
    1
  1597. Whose in charge ? Of course, its the commander in chief, Zelensky.
    1
  1598.  @alexmozerski4131  According to international news from Taiwan, USA is providing old version cluster bombs to Ukraine. It means that it would have an unexplode rate of 40% instead of 2.5%.
    1
  1599. Even if the mines were all cleared, it would be replaced by cluster bombs.
    1
  1600. As for prolonging of Bakhmut fall, its Zelensky crazy decision to send Ukrainians to the meat grinder against the Wagner mercenaries. As for Ukraine's counterattack fails, Its all Zelensky fault for his grand counter offensive postponement, that gave Putin 6 extra months to train the conscripts and put up defenses.
    1
  1601.  khaotik_9964  How exactly ? Imagine Putin ordered cluster bombs to be dropped on all major cities of Ukraine like Kiev and Odessa etc. Nightmare to the Ukrainian citizens.
    1
  1602.  khaotik_9964  Not a dream, but a nightmare scenario to Zelensky.
    1
  1603.  @selfpity8674  Not according to Zelensky. As long as he did not retake the 4 regions and Crimea, Ukraine lost.
    1
  1604.  @selfpity8674  Its more like Ukraine rather than Russia that had lost hundreds of thousands of men, as Ukraine had 15 rounds of military mobilizations as compared to Russia, 2 rounds of military mobilizations.
    1
  1605.  khaotik_9964  Yeah, if you mean senile Biden.
    1
  1606. It seemed that they really needed the money.
    1
  1607. Saving lives ( especially those of innocent civilians ) ? Don't you know Biden had given Zelensky, cluster bombs to kill Ukrainians ?
    1
  1608. Same with the pro-Ukrainian media. So I think they "even" out one another.
    1
  1609. Because the western media are pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian ?
    1
  1610. Don't overestimate the "miracles" of F16. Ukraine had received "wonder" weapons and "game changer" weapons from 2022 to July 2023, but the Russian still hold the 4 regions and Crimea. Also, the grand Zelensky counter offensive had failed after been postponed for 6 months.
    1
  1611. Good Ukraine news from History Legends ? It would be saved from Zelensky.
    1
  1612. ​ @polmaclin3019 From international news, the audience were told that USA and EU had stopped funding Ukraine. In 2024, Ukraine would not have money to burn for war. For Ukraine, its dark after noon.
    1
  1613. For Russia ?
    1
  1614. Ukraine couldn't use NATO tactics because of late delivery of F16 and other weaponries and ammo. Your 1st reason bombed your 2nd reason. Without air superiority over Russia, NATO training, tactics and strategies mean nothing. In Russo-Ukraine war, Soviet/Russian doctrine proved more effective.
    1
  1615.  @fikarrusdiawan9562  It showed that Biden plan of turning Rubles to waste papers failed.
    1
  1616. Zelensky grand counter offensive - Gains in the south, loss in the north. Not a good result to show to his NATO/EU supporters. Especially NATO training proved to be almost useless in the battlefield.
    1
  1617. The eventual winner/s of the war is/are the good guy/s.
    1
  1618. Territorial gains/loss are usually used to gauge victories/defeats. There's always Battle of Bahkmut as an example for the "meat grinder".
    1
  1619. Because too much mentioned from pro-Ukrainian media.
    1
  1620. In this war, David ( Ukraine ) has the help of Legion ( NATO ) in its struggle against Goliath ( Russia ).
    1
  1621. Not enough jamming systems ?
    1
  1622. Sadly so. 10 millions Ukrainians scattered across Europe, few millions in occupied territories, hundreds of thousands wounded or dead, minors and elders been drafted to the frontline......Zelensky, Biden and Putin are depopulating Ukraine at a alarming rate.
    1
  1623. They died for the glory and supremacy of MAGA USA.
    1
  1624.  @cristiani.lepindea8676  Sorry, no.
    1
  1625.  @cristiani.lepindea8676  "Donbass" sounded familiar. Was it produced by a French before the Russo-Ukraine war ? It seemed there's one "Donbass" that left pro-Ukraine French participants on a TV show surprised and speechless.
    1
  1626.  @t.n.h.ptheneohumanpatterna8334  The Ukrainian minors are scared in the conflict while the elders.......they had lived their lives, not so afraid.
    1
  1627. All thanks to Biden, Zelensky and Putin.
    1
  1628. To make Zelensky looked bad in front of his NATO bosses ? NATO bosses expected total victory from the grand counter offensive, not "half" victory.
    1
  1629. Unfortunately, Zelensky expected USA and UK to honour their guarantee security agreement with Ukraine, which they dishonoured.
    1
  1630. May they have a quick and painless death. Rest in peace.
    1
  1631.  @muhammadpk3851  No. Biden, Zelensky and Putin turned Ukraine into a graveyard.
    1
  1632. So ? Biden didn't even care Americans being burnt to ashes at Hawaii. Ukraine was just a pawn to drag Russia down with it to hell.
    1
  1633. Nice poem. But everyone knew he's pro-Russian. If you wants to hear Ukraine is winning the war, tune in to pro-Ukraine channels.
    1
  1634. The Russians pretending to retreat to lure the enemy in. Once the Ukrainians stood their ground, the Russians sprung their trap.
    1
  1635. It seemed that you were talking about USA from your 2nd paragraph onwards, not Russia.
    1
  1636.  @sandorvas3954  What ? Competent in sabotaging peace for both countries of Ukraine and Russia ?
    1
  1637. There had been a peace negotiation in Turkey between both countries in 2022, but was sabotaged by USA.
    1
  1638. USA is now known as a robber with the lost of trust from the rest of the world. De-dollarization has started. Russia had not use its full might against Ukraine + 31 countries of NATO since it has not yet mobilize its 1 million regular soldiers. Even now, Russia is discussing joint military exercises with North Korea and China to be held in the Pacific.
    1
  1639. Was it a lie that Ukraine's best brigade had been thrown into the battle ?
    1
  1640. Because no storm shadows to use ?
    1
  1641. Last reserves ? Probably since Zelensky is already drafting 16 year old minors for war.
    1
  1642.  @Lexigon  Unlike Ukraine that had conducted 16 military mobilizations, currently drafting 16 year old minors for war, Russia still has not conducted its 3rd mobilization, yet. So I think Russia still have men to put in the trenches. Its Ukraine that's running low on men to fight tne war.
    1
  1643.  @Lexigon  Just 2 or 3 Russian defensive lines more for Ukraine to breakthrough before winter 2023.
    1
  1644. If that's the case, NATO/EU should not be complaining about Ukraine military using up 1 week of ammo in 1 day in 2022. They could also afford to provide thousands of armours instead of dozens to Ukraine in 2023.
    1
  1645. Not men but boys as Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors for war.
    1
  1646.  @ABSAZZA  That remains to be seen since Russia hasn't used its full might against Ukraine, yet.
    1
  1647. Russia with the support from Iran ( drones ) and North Korea ( Soviet style weapons/ammo ) against Ukraine + 31 countries from NATO. I think Russia deserved the credits.
    1
  1648. Blackrock already buying Ukrainian assets cheaply.
    1
  1649. And to have nuclear weapons from USA.
    1
  1650. Because NATO could only provide expensive artilery with expensive shells ?
    1
  1651. LOL. No wonder Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors for war after 15 rounds of military mobilization. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian minors !
    1
  1652. Ukraine just have to wait 5 more months for the 1st batch of 6 F-16 to be delivered.
    1
  1653. Perhaps you didn't know Zelensky is already drafting 16 year old minors for war. It seemed that Ukraine has no real army units left.
    1
  1654. Sure it did. Zelensky was able to "drag" Putin for so long because of USD and Euro.
    1
  1655. I thought he is now a NATO/EU beggar who had lost international limelight ? He begged for HIMARS. In the end, he got HAMAS.
    1
  1656. It seemed that you chose to ignore that Ukraine is been depopulated by the war. Russia fights for survival ? You're wrong. Its Ukraine.
    1
  1657. Ukrainian women were already involved in the war. After all Ukrainian women on the battlefields were wiped out in 2022, the rest were deployed at the back as support staffs.
    1
  1658. There are also other pro-Ukraine channels. By your logic, they are also "Cope".
    1
  1659.  @Casual_Comment  Aren't these old news ? We all knew Russia bought drones from Iran and ammo/weapons from North Korea, months ago. Except now there's footage of Putin shaking hands with Kim Jong ill.
    1
  1660.  @stevep9221  I just imitated your gobbledegook original comment. Unless you are not from planet Earth, or else you should understand.
    1
  1661.  @Birdma91  I think there's a misunderstanding. I was talking about the trenches of the 4 regions, that the Ukrainian military is currently attempting to breakthrough.
    1
  1662. Not so. Russia only planned and executed this after Zelensky kept postphoning his grand counter offensive from Winter 22 to Spring to Summer 23.
    1
  1663.  @Stephen-bq4nq  If Ukraine has to resort to insurgent style fighting, that means Ukraine has lost the war. No reasons for NATO countries in Europe to fully support Ukraine anymore. According to Taiwan international news media, Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors for war.
    1
  1664. For your analysis, you seemed to forget that Ukraine is totally dependent on NATO/EU charities on "everything" to sustain the war. I doubt the citizens of NATO/EU would be so gracious to support Ukraine war for another 10 years. Not to mention that the total population of Ukraine had been halved in just 1.5 years of Russo-Ukraine war. Even now, Zelensky is drafting 16 year old minors for the meat grinder. 3 generations of Ukrainian might be lost after the war ends.
    1
  1665. No demilitarized zone. Zelensky said the war would only be over when the 4 regions and Crimea are recovered from Putin.
    1
  1666. How about USA ( main sponsor of Ukraine ) with its 32.5 trillion in debts, would be broke within 12 months.
    1
  1667.  @joeschmo8005  Haven't you seen the news that North Korean weapons and missiles had advance so much that South Korea and Japan felt threatened ?
    1
  1668.  @joeschmo8005  You're mistaken. Its a business deal, no begging. Russia will get Soviet style weapons/ammo from North Korea, while North Korea will get upgraded Russian military tech and grains to feed its people.
    1
  1669. Western media sources reported Russia ass been kicked by Ukraine for 2 or 3 months, yet Crimea still firmly in control by Russia.
    1
  1670. Because his Western media sources didn't update continuously ?
    1
  1671. Didn't this man use Western media sources to backup his saying ? So are you anti-NATO ?
    1
  1672. Didn't he use Western media sources to backup for his video ? If you said were true, then you should stop watching Western sources that report on Russo-Ukraine war.
    1
  1673. Maybe because Somalia is also war ridden ? So no anomaly for the Somalian guy.
    1
  1674. Why complained ? Don't you know he's pro-Russia ? Watch CNN, BBC, DW or read Reporting from Ukraine if you only want to hear good news about Ukraine fight against Russia.
    1
  1675. No more neutral information ? Because he's using Western media sources ?
    1
  1676. Maybe because he tried to use Western media sources to backup his claim ?
    1
  1677. Losing ? Russia is still holding on to the 4 regions and Crimea.
    1
  1678. Propaganda that used Western media sources.
    1
  1679. Using Western media sources to backup RT ? So clever of him.
    1
  1680. Maybe because for the past 2 years, Ukraine media outlets kept on praising NATO weapons were of game changer, wonder calibre and its tactics, modern and superior as compared to shovel grade WW1 or WW2 Russian weapons and outdated, medieval Russian doctrines......Until the results on the battlefields showed otherwise.
    1
  1681. Nah. He's more entertaining than boring Chris, while maintaining journalist professionalism.
    1
  1682. It takes courage for NATO to send its forces to engage Russia, which it lacks.
    1
  1683. Not yet but the Russians seemed to win the overall ground battles.
    1
  1684. This alliance was supposed to disband after Warsaw Pact disintegrated.
    1
  1685. Zelensky is mobilising 500,000 people to drag the war ?
    1
  1686. USA tried to drag Russia into a quirkmire but Russia turned the table on USA.
    1
  1687. Winston Churchill might say that present day "non-empire" small Britain fared worse than Russia.
    1
  1688. Not so. Biden wants it. Zelensky wants it. Van der Lyan wants it. Leaders of NATO and Canada want it.
    1
  1689. China DJI drones reign supreme over Ukraine airspace.
    1
  1690. Maybe because he based his arguments on Western media reports, which made those Pro-Ukraine defenders, hard to refute his claims.
    1
  1691. NATO had. By sending in through as mercenaries and advisors.
    1
  1692. So sarcastic of you to replace "Ukraine" with "Russia" and "Zelensky" with "Putin".
    1
  1693. Not funny because the Ukraine eastern frontline is really collapsing ?
    1
  1694. A note, the 4 regions and Crimea had been claimed by Russia. So, no problem for the conscripts to fight in those areas.
    1
  1695. Nah. It's USA.
    1
  1696. Ukraine had done its purposes to bring down Russia and EU.
    1
  1697. What war in the Middle East ? There's only war crimes by Israel and USA.
    1
  1698. Thanks to Zelensky's widening the overall frontline, Ukraine's eastern frontline is collapsing.
    1
  1699. Learn from Africa civil wars experiences. Honda/Toyota reign supreme !
    1
  1700. It seemed that the Russians had regained half of Kursk from the Ukrainians.
    1
  1701. Yes. The Ukraine eastern frontline is collapsing, as shown by the summarization of this video. As for North Korean troops, they're in Kursk.
    1

  1705. Feel sorry for those Ukrainian forced conscripts that could not flee Ukraine and end up as canon fodder.

  1706. But wasn't it true that the Ukrainians were constantly losing ground after the fall of Avdiivka ?

  1707. @Boom.Desjardins  5 years ? You are confident that USA and Europe would support Ukraine for that long ? I doubt Ukraine could even last 2025.
    1
  1708. @Boom.Desjardins  Still stuck where there were 1 year ago ? I think not. From the Internet, the Russians had gotten control of Heorhiika, Semenivka, Tabka, Tonenke, Buhdanivka, Bilohorivka, Orlivka, Ivaniska, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Novomyhailvka, Pervomaike, Soloviove, Netailove.....and others. The Ukrainians are advancing towards Kiev.

The Russians are retreating towards Kiev.

  1710. @kalleranta2260  I only know one of Russia's goals had been achieved. NATO had rejected Ukraine application to join the organisation. As for other demands, it would be put on the negotiating table.
    1
  1711. @roelvaneyken211  Still remember Zelensky great grand summer counter-offensive of 2023 ? Before defeating the Russians, Zelensky had made advertisement showing he would celebrate victory in Crimea. I think that's what you called spinning victory ?
    1
  1712.  @Micha_mg  Just take that he balanced the pro-western propaganda.
    1
  1713. Maybe because a comedian President used Ukraine as a backdrop for his laughable tragic comedy ?
    1
  1714. For me, according to western and eastern media. Ukraine is losing and Zelensky is begging NATO/EU to give more of everything to Ukraine. Its military is having manpower shortage for war. Ukrainians are not willing to fight for Zelensky, and he had asked NATO/EU to send Ukrainians in their countries back to Ukraine to help defend their homeland. For now, Poland is considering the idea of so.

  1716. Misinformation ? From the Internet, I had been informed that Bilohorivka, Heorhiika, Semenivka, Tabka, Tonenke, Buhdanivka, Orlivka, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Krasnohorivka, Novomyhailvka, Pervomaike, Netailove, Soloviove etc and of course Avdiivka had fallen ?
    1
  1717. @rzan3318  Distance is not an excuse for USA military failure. USA had bases in Japan for the Korean War in the 50s. USA had bases in the Philippines for the Vietnam War in the 70s. In the end, USA relied on Taliban terrorists for protection while its soldiers fled from Afghanistan, betraying its people and allies for the World to see on TV. This is your definition of absolute zigger embarrassment.
    1
  1718. No need to talk like that. USA, the sole superpower and developed country had its zigger embarrassment when it could not take over Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan.

  1721. @richardbrown9025  He might have more balls than you, yet he was more stupid than me. He didn't learn the lesson from the annexation of Crimea that Putin was very serious about war. With his stupidity, the comedian led Ukraine into a laughable tragedy.
    1
  1722. @Sander-cu4ns  In the end, Avdiivka did fall. Also, you mistaken. I meant Zelensky as a person who turned Ukraine into a real life tragic comedy.
    1
  1723. @Sander-cu4ns  But after he became the President of Ukraine, he and his media company turned the country into a real life tragic comedy.

  1724. @3dxspx703  It could also mean Annexation, like Crimea. It's been 2 years, wake up.
    1
  1725. I doubt Russia ever wanted to conquer Ukraine since it was willing to negotiate for peace since 2022. It also didn't use its full strength on the onset of war. Its Zelensky who is willing to fight till the last abled Ukrainian against Putin.

  1728. In hindsight, Russia was just trying to scare Zelensky to flee Ukraine so as to install a pro-Russia government. Thus, the lightning strikes on multiple areas of Ukraine. It didn't expect Zelensky was brave enough to stay and to unite Ukrainians at that time against Russia. Also, the once KGB agent, Putin was naive enough to trust Zelensky to withdraw from Kiev area without signing a peace deal. Big mistake. But after more than 2 years of fighting, attrition had caught up with Ukraine. The once democratic war hero had become a dictatorial beggar. As for Russia, after 10 years of chaotic Democracy which the Russians lived in humiliation and poverty, Russia was not on the road to becoming more authoritative. Democracy was already dead in 2001. The elections of later years were just for show. You underestimated Russia export capability. Sure, Russia industries are mostly primary. But beside oil and weapons, it also export natural gas, minerals, agricultural and marine products. Luckily for Russia economy, the China market is big enough to cover the loss of Europe. On the other hand, China gained a hundred million population Russian market for its consumer products and a powerful ally against MAGA USA. A win-win for both countries.

  1733.  @barslars6038  Yes, they're secure. What had Ukraine military achieved with their summer counter-offensive that started in June 2023 ? With the abandonment of Ukraine by USA in favour of Nazi Israel, would Ukraine be able to launch another counter-offensive in 2024 ? More likely, Beggar Zelensky would be forced to negotiate for peace in favour of Tzar Putin.

  1736.  @lamjianyuan  I partially agreed with you. Inflation outstrips the rise of salary and pay. Coupled with 9% GST in 2024. Everything would be more expensive and higher PUB bills etc ( sigh ). But those under middle income lives still OK. They just need to spend less ( lesser vacations, lesser restaurant dine in etc ). As my mother said, life in Singapore is now easier and comfortable when compared to few decades past. Can't argue with that.
    1
  1737. USA already monetary hugely benefited from sale of obsolete weapons, sale of unwanted Boeing planes, sale of "chemical" enriched pork and beef to DPP Taiwan. It also forced TMSC to build loss making semi-conductor plants in USA. Japan already monetary and land benefited from Taiwan by getting an island from it, offloading near expired AZ Covid vaccine to the island, exchange of less value fish stocks for premium value ones, sale of questionable Fukushima food products unwanted by Japanese before Japan released its "treated" waste water. Taiwanese, by electing DPP Lai as President had shown that they had rejected 92 consensus. With their choice, Taiwanese would lead a poorer and insecure life since DPP is known to be in cahoot with underground bosses. In the end, the strong China snipe would flew off with weak Taiwan clam.

  1751.  @richhornie7000  Not so. Australia doesn't have the economic clout nor the military strength comparable to USA. Its more of a vessal, having to follow USA policies to the point of paying penalties to France for buying USA submarines and of course, anti-China. Pathetic.

  1754.  @onceyouwheeinyoucantwheeout  At least Australia admitted its war crimes after the media exposed it. Unlike USA, still in denial. Eg. The world knew that its USA which bombed the Germany ( ally ) gas pipelines, USA reactions were "No ! Not us, its Ukraine ! " LOL.

  1762.  @buellterrier3596  Australia just tagged along to support USA in their occupation of the country, and the soldiers treated the locals in however they liked. I agreed with you that USA invaded the wrong country. But at that time, USA needed Saudi Arabia's oil. So, too bad for Afghanistan ( scapegoat ) for not handing out Osama bin Laden after 911.

  1780. Because of religion. Myanmar is a Buddhist country with Muslim minority. The majority Buddhist wanted to drive away the Muslim minority, citing fears that their country might turn to Islam after a few hundred years if they did not do anything now. For example : Indonesia and Malaysia were once non-Islamic regions and islands in distant past, but were now Islamic. A few decades ago, there were reports of burning of temples and churches in Indonesia by the Muslims. Buddhists in Myanmar accused Muslims that they wanted other religions to tolerate their belief and customs when they are in the minority, but they forced others to convert to their religion through marriages. In time when they become the majority through force conversion and population growth, they are intolerable to other religions and customs. The Buddhist in Myanmar fear the final outcome that their country would 1 day goes the way of Malaysia and Indonesia.

  1806.  @SRN42069  I already briefly explained that the water in the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant, was in direct exposure with the nuclear waste core and thus considered as nuclear "contaminated" waste water. It was much more hazardous than the "air-conditioned" cooling water in the "operational" nuclear power plants worldwide. Japan and international public were sceptical and concerned, that Japan would be able to "vigorously treated" the "contaminated" waste water for the next 30 years. Keeping the dumped waste water "safe" in the ocean, in point of view with your standard.
    1
  1807. The difference is that Canada released nuclear power plant "cooling" water, while Japan released nuclear core waste "contaminated" water.

  1849.  @YouTubemessedupmyhandle  For the sake of power, Putin could not give up what's been occupied. NATO countries' leaders do not have this problem. Beside, more and more protests from NATO citizens against the "ungrateful" Ukraine. Thus, its easier for NATO to give up on Ukraine so that it would negotiate for peace and end the war. For the last 50 years, civilised world of NATO in Europe had accepted the idea of USA taking bits of another country. Even now, USA occupied parts of Syria and stealing its oil. Also, Russia had occupied Crimea since 2014 and NATO was OK with that, so no problem for NATO to accept Russia occupied additional 4 regions.

  1850. Except that those rich western nations are having "recession". Even rich USA had to send Yellen to China to borrow money.

  1851. Ukraine could not join NATO before the war, not during the war and definitely not after the war, because Russia demand permanent neutrality of Ukraine. NATO should make it clear to Zelensky that Ukraine is just a buffer zone between NATO and Russia.

  1854. Zelensky tried to get home insurance before the house is on fire but was rejected. Once NATO stops their support to Ukraine, the war would stop soon.
    1
  1855. The thing was the "insurance company" refused Zelensky to buy insurance when the car is functional.
    1
  1856. Ukraine could not get into NATO after the war because Russia demand Ukraine to be a permanent neutral state.
    1
  1857. The thing was NATO refused Zelensky to buy fire insurance even before his house got burnt. Now NATO said Ukraine has to end the war before joining the organization, while Russia could never end this war unless Ukraine becomes a permanent neutral country. It seems that USA and Europe have to support Ukraine for decades to come. If USA and Taliban could fight a 20 years war, so could NATO/Ukraine against Russia.
    1
  1858. Simple. The western world stop supporting Ukraine to avoid bankrupt. Without supports, Ukraine has to negotiate for peace. War ends.

  1861.  @niblet112  that't their citizens problems, NATO countries following USA not bankrupt.
    1
  1862.  @niblet112  Nah. NATO nations in Europe have increased their military expenditure to 2%.
    1
  1863. NATO in Europe could buy weapons from USA.
    1
  1864.  @dannytodea2000  Ukraine is a pawn of USA ( leader of NATO ) to drag Russia down to hell with it so USA could concentrate on arch-enemy, China. The Russo-Ukraine war had severely weaken Russia but its economy did not collaspe, much to dismay of USA. Worse, NATO countries in Europe are experiencing the backlashes from its economic sanctions onslaught. Vice-President Kamala of USA ( leader of NATO ) had been selling "fire insurance" to Ukraine on Nov 2021, before the house was on fire and Zelensky accepted. Now USA backtracked its promises. No wonder Zelensky pissed.
    1
  1865. Perhaps he regreted to be a pawn of NATO and vented his disappointments.
    1
  1866. And a fool.
    1
  1867. What did you expect ? Sanction Russia and China, Americans pay.
    1
  1868. No, unless he agreed to rejoin the Russian Federation.
    1
  1869. Many of them are being trained and send back to Ukraine as canon fodder.
    1
  1870. Yeah. Zelensky would have no choice but to negotiate for peace with Putin.
    1
  1871. Just stop all NATO supports and Zelensky would be forced to negotiate for peace. So simple.
    1
  1872. The world would never ready for WW3, but NATO could be ready to support Ukraine fight a long term war. If USA and Taliban could fight a 20 years war, so could NATO/Ukraine against Russia.
    1
  1873. Much like the Americans.
    1
  1874. Present Zelensky to Putin in Moscow.
    1
  1875. But we granted you the title of Grand Jar-Jar Padawan.
    1
  1876. Of course the spoilt brat making tantrams, after his dad promised him the beer jug, then refused to give him.
    1
  1877. Of course since he's "associated" with Hunter Biden.
    1
  1878. If so, peace would be attained.
    1
  1879. Zelensky already got an invitation from Vice-President Kamala of USA to join NATO in Nov 2021.
    1
  1880. After all, Zelensky was a comedian before becoming a president.
    1
  1881. From the grand counter offensive, it seems that Ukraine has not broken the 1st defense Russian line yet. Really, time to let go of Ukraine to Russia since NATO had Finland and Sweden.
    1
  1882. Zelensky should give up on NATO and join Russia.
    1
  1883.  @hannahdyson7129  Hypothetically, I don't think Russia would kill Zelensky and his family living luxuriously in USA after he helped to end the war in Russia favour. Perhaps its CIA since Zelensky refused to be their puppet to drag Russia down to hell with it.
    1
  1884.  @aphangel7222  If this is not a difference, then why did you ask in the comment section ? To me, there's still a difference in quantity of soldiers. Also, has NATO declare war to Russia since NATO soldiers are there ( as you said ).
    1
  1885.  @aphangel7222  I just merely answering to your question to give 1 difference between Ukraine and NATO member in times of war.
    1
  1886.  @lolol3112  Just look at the original comment, if NATO membership is out of question, and its long term supports becoming short term and limited. What would you do if you are Zelensky ? Continuing fighting the losing war till your death ?
    1
  1887. Not enough to win the war against Russia.
    1
  1888. He was expecting a hundred billion USD.
    1
  1889. Since NATO had no reason to help, it should stop all supports to Ukraine so that Zelensky would be forced to negotiate for peace.
    1
  1890. Not so, Ukraine is fighting a war on NATO behalf. It has every rights to demand everything from NATO.
    1
  1891. Not slaves, its cannon fodder. Ukraine is just a pawn to drag Russia down with it to hell.
    1
  1892. I agreed with you that Zelensky failed in his duty as president. He was too naive to believe USA vice-president Kamala lies in Nov 2021 that NATO welcomed Ukraine, and USA/UK guarantee security agreements against Russia. Zelensky did not learn the lesson from the annexation of Crimea that Putin Russia was serious about war, if Ukraine crossed their red lines.
    1
  1893. It should not shut the door to Ukraine which fight the war on its behalf, NATO.
    1
  1894. Maybe because Zelensky was a comedian ?
    1
  1895. Not a toy, just a pawn.
    1
  1896. There's never a right time for Ukraine to join NATO. Its just a pawn by NATO ( USA ) to drag Russia down with it to hell. Ukraine had done its purpose. Rest In Pieces.
    1
  1897. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1898.  @PhillipMortlock-yt8wc  Its not that the Americans have woken up, its that American power had decline rapidly. Its military had fled from a bunch of terrorists, abandoning the people it vowed to protect and betrayed its allies, for the world to witness. USA debts is now 33 trillion and increasing. USA could not intense mass bomb any country like it could before.
    1
  1899. May not be. USA also mass bombed Saddam Hussein Iraq intensively. NATO also mass bombed Serbia for 78 days until it surrendered. They didn't lose support from billions of people.
    1
  1900. No Islamic country would accept Palestinian refugees.
    1
  1901. Not so. The honour belonged to USA which recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be the world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  1902. 50,000 troops lost ? May not be. Israelis military could bury HAMAS fighters with the collapsed buildings before moving in to shoot everyone inside Gaza. The dead civilians would be classified by the Americans as collateral damage.
    1
  1903. No Islamic country wants Palestinian people, this is really sad.
    1
  1904. In the name of human rights and the religion. Perhaps USA, Europe and Islamic countries around the world could accept 3 million Palestinian refugees ?
    1
  1905. May not so if the IDF keep on collapsing buildings in Gaza Strip without regards to civilian life.
    1
  1906. They ? Who ? Its Palestinians that are now paying the price.
    1
  1907. By your logic, Egyptian leaders need to get help as they stopped Palestinian refugees from Gaza Strip fleeing into the country. Also, the leaders of the world need to get help as they continue to watch the bombings.
    1
  1908. Legacy ? Its the legacy of intolerance. Both Palestine and Israel were supposed to be independent nations on the same day 60 years ago. But the Palestinians at that time could not co-exist with Israelis, and with other Arab countries tried to wipe it off before it gained independence. They failed. Israel became a nation while Palestine didn't. Palestinians and its Arab neighbours tried a few more times to destroy Israel and failed. Now Palestinians are paying for their forefathers sins and intolerance.
    1
  1909. Racism against racism. No peace.
    1
  1910. Why fight man to man when IDF could collapse the whole building to bury the Hamas fighters ?
    1
  1911. Americans would not feel shame. Don't you know USA recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be the world 1st terrorist leader ?
    1
  1912. Sitting and watching ? Don't you know the Arab countries had tried several times with Palestinians to destroy Israel but failed ? They had already done their "part" and now try not to have war with Israel.
    1
  1913. Sponsor ? Yeah. After USA recruited and trained Osama bin Laden to be the world 1st terrorist leader.
    1
  1914. With a quote like that, Palestinians would suffer for a very long time.
    1
  1915. I think they were thinking about nation building. If Saudi Arabia signed peace treaty with Israel, Palestine as a nation would fade out completely. Thus, they launched suicide attacks to force Saudi Arabia to continue anti-Israel.
    1
  1916. What makes them what they are now ? I think you are talking about Israel. The story went back 60 -70 years ago. Both Israel and Palestine were supposed to be independent on the same day. But the Palestinians could not co-exist with Israel and with several Arab states, tried to wipe it off before it gained independence. They failed and Israel was born while Palestine was not. Israel was attacked several times in the coming decades by its neighbour Arab states and Palestinians which it won. When a country was surrounded by hostile neighbours for a long time, wishing to destroy it, any humane notions would be eroded away by the surrounded country. Now the world witnessing the last struggles of HAMAS against Israel with Palestinian civilians as sacrificial lambs.
    1
  1917. The Islamic countries in the Middle East already had tried several times to destroy Israel without success. In the end, they sacrificed Palestinians.
    1
  1918. The Islamic countries in the Middle East already had tried several times to destroy Israel without success. In the end, they sacrificed Palestinians.
    1
  1919. Both side had a few decades to think. Now its too late. Both side had gone down the dark path. Unless HAMAS surrender and Palestinian people give up the notion of nationhood, there would be no peace and mercy.
    1
  1920. May not be because many big political donors of Democrats are Jews.
    1
  1921. What for when Israel military could just crush HAMAS fighters with the collapsed buildings. As for women and children, they are known as collateral damage by the Americans.
    1
  1922.  @falcatafalcata1617  In politics, there is no eternal enemies. Example : Egypt used to fight against Israel. But after land for peace agreement was signed and Sinai was returned to Egypt, it had gave up on continuing Palestinian struggle and Israel southern border was secured. Peace for both countries. Until the recent HAMAS suicide attacks, there were relatively peace in the region.
    1
  1923. Then its just wishful thinkings of HAMAS. If the Arab countries could not destroy weak Israel a few decades ago, Islamic countries couldn't do it now.
    1
  1924. They are waiting for HAMAS fighters to come out from the collapsed buildings.
    1
  1925. Maybe because Israel military is more cruel than HAMAS ? It was shown that Israel preferred to collapse the whole building in Gaza Strip, again and again without any regards to any Palestinian civilian life.
    1
  1926. They only involved in electing Hamas to rule over Gaza Strip.
    1
  1927. Do whatever they can ? Several Arab countries with Palestinians had tried to destroy Israel several times for the past few decades. They failed. The Arab world had done everything it could. Now they just want peace in the region. Nothing to do with the powerful Israel with USA backing.
    1
  1928. So ? HAMAS fighters would be buried with the collapsed buildings. The human shield would be classified by the Americans as collateral damage.
    1
  1929. Not yet. But the spotlight is now on Israel-HAMAS conflict.
    1
  1930.  @peabase  I doubt German tanks entered Warsaw in two days. The point is both Britain and France were too afraid to invade Germany even after declaration of war to stop Hitler, which Germany made use of the time to focus on conquering Poland. Now, USA and again Britain had no courage to send soldiers to help Ukraine against Russia. History sort of repeat itself with a mix of Cuba crisis, and Alliance leaders lacked of courage at that time to stop WW2.
    1
  1931.  @peabase  Britain and France had declared war to Germany before German tanks rolled to Warsaw. That is facts.
    1
  1932.  @peabase  You might have forgotten that when appeasement failed, both France and Britain declared war on Germany before Hitler started WW2. But both countries were too afraid to initiate invasion of Germany which enboldened Hitler. Now, both USA and Britain had no courage to send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repel Russia even though they had given guarantee security agreements to it. NATO would fight Russia till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1933. @King RS With his naviety and ignorance, Zelensky made Putin invaded Ukraine. Now, the only way other than peace negotiations to make Putin give up on Ukraine. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1934. USA taught the world that might is right through its decades of armed conflicts, regimes change and invasions around the globe.
    1
  1935.  @keith8609  You might have forgotten vice president Kamala of USA formally invited Ukraine to join NATO in Nov 2021 which all of us knew Russia was furious. Worse, USA planned to place nuclear missiles in Ukraine after Ukraine becomes a NATO member ( Cuba crisis ). Putin had threatened Zelensky about it but was ignored which prompted the invasion. Without USA instigation of Ukraine to provoke Russia in the first place, Putin would not have excuses to invade Ukraine. USA is the warmonger.
    1
  1936. Wagner reminds me of Blackwater ( USA ) in Iraq and Middle East region.
    1
  1937.  @appletree6741  But no citizenships.
    1
  1938. European countries could give citizenships to the 10 million Ukrainian refugees in their countries, to show solidarity to the people of Ukraine.
    1
  1939. No need to grumble. Its the American people who voted in the current government to power.
    1
  1940. People voted for Biden because he portrayed himself as anti-Trump. In the end, he is his long shadow. As such, Donald Trump policies were right when even the Democrats followed MAGA.
    1
  1941. There's an obvious way. Tax the rich, which both parties are very reluctant to do so.
    1
  1942. Perhaps no money to buy a suit ? His wife spent tens of thousands of Euros in Europe.
    1
  1943. Furious Yellen will yell at Biden : "don"t you dare give cash to Ukraine at this moment, or I'll quit !".
    1
  1944.  @jfmart73  Its too convenient of you to label "Russian troll" when you could not argue back the original comment.
    1
  1945. Its ashame that USA and Britain dishonoured their guarantee security agreements to Ukraine when their formal, professional soldiers were not fighting for freedom in Ukraine.
    1
  1946. Yeah, even Donald Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours.
    1
  1947.  @peabase  Ukraine did not pushed Russia back from Kiev and Kherson, Russia retreated as reported from international news. As for Kharkiv, it was too lightly defended by Russia for Ukraine to claim major military victory. We all try to make compelling arguments ( including you ) with our personal opinions, some with more facts than the other.
    1
  1948.  @peabase  Unfortunately, Ukraine is no Chechnya. Currently, the world knew Ukraine is entirely dependent on NATO/EU for war materials and money which are not enough. Worse, it lacks manpower for war. Therefore, war torn Ukraine would most likely lose the attrition war against Russia. No joining of NATO or EU. A broken country and economy with Ukrainian refugees across Europe reluctant to return to re-start their lives.
    1
  1949.  @peabase  Russia had done it twice ? I only remembered Russia in the Soviet Union era withdrew from Afghanistan after 10 years of fighting. I doubt USA and Europe could support Ukraine for that long. Thus, its more likely that Zelensky be disposed of than that of Putin. It would be in Ukraine interest to start peace negotiations, now with Russia than to lose more than the 4 regions and Crimea in future.
    1
  1950.  @peabase  Then the war would continue till the last abled Ukrainian expended.
    1
  1951.  @peabase  Unlikely, unless Russia being defeated in the war which USA had forbidden Ukraine to counter-invade Russia. However, NATO/EU, being supporters of Ukraine could help to rebuilt the country.
    1
  1952. Most of the essential infrastructures would be damaged, if not destroyed. However, residential area of west Ukraine would mostly left intact. Since NATO/EU are so supportive of Ukraine, they would help to re-built those damaged or destroyed and revive its economy after the war.
    1
  1953. China just want to liberate the planet from USA imperial rules with free trades and globalization.
    1
  1954.  @jamond1  You might have forgotten that USA vice-presidemt Kamala formally welcomed Ukraine to join NATO in Nov 2021. Worse, after Ukraine attain NATO membership, USA would deploy nuclear missiles in it ( Cuba crisis ). Russia had threatened Ukraine many times about it but was ignored. Thus, 24/2/22 - invasion which resulted in Europe and USA sanctions onslaught against Russia. You still remembered Biden wished to turn Russian currency into waste paper ? For decades, Russia/Soviet Union had been a stable energy supplier to Europe, providing cheap energy even during cold war. However, Europe stupidly banned Russia energy imports which drastically disrupted its own energy markets and economies. Now the French people have to pay 4 times more expensive for LNG from USA. The Russo-Ukraine war was started by USA evil instigation and Ukraine foolishness, and Europe stupidity that costed its economic stability and its poor citizens welfares.
    1
  1955. This war taught many countries a lesson, the war instigated by USA costed Europe its stable and cheap energy supplier and Ukraine became a pawn just to weaken Russia. That USA could backstab its friends and allies with a smile.
    1
  1956. Yeah. The main culprit that destroyed Ukraine future.
    1
  1957. UK already followed.
    1
  1958. Not wrong. Russia could nuke NATO.
    1
  1959. Not insane enough. USA could send the homeless American veterans to Ukraine as volunteers. More people to fight, less money to send and less homeless in USA.
    1
  1960. Send radioactive waters from Fukushima to rain on Ukraine.
    1
  1961. A new perspective. Never thought of that.
    1
  1962. When USA bankrupts.
    1
  1963. You might have forgotten Russia was once a democracy after the collapse of Soviet Union. If USA had helped Gorbachev to stabilize the newly formed Russian Federation, KGB Putin would not be the president.
    1
  1964. No need to grumble. Its the American people who voted in Biden to power.
    1
  1965. Peace negotiations are more pragmatic.
    1
  1966. I think its Ukraine that is getting desperate when Zelensky personally went to Hiroshima to beg for supports from G7.
    1
  1967.  @jpmountaingaming5681  Together with USA. Then world peace !
    1
  1968. Especially to the Chinese.
    1
  1969. No worry. Once USA defaults on its debts, no money to waste on Ukraine.
    1
  1970. No need to grumble. Their people voted in those leaders to power. Democracy at works.
    1
  1971. Fight till the last abled Ukrainian, then the war would stop and the noble cause would be achieved.
    1
  1972. You can't say that. Europe had provide weapons, ammo and money to Ukraine though the main sponsor is USA. Its USA responsibilities to help since its USA which instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia in the first place. Beside, USA had given guarantee security agreement to Ukraine. If USA had no courage to send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine to repel Russia ( obviously terrorized by Taliban ), its the least that USA could do to send war materials and money to Ukraine.
    1
  1973. For your essay, perhaps you have forgotten USA debt ceiling and its imminent bankruptcy ?
    1
  1974.  @sebastianwrites  It was found the Arab Spring that started in Tunisia was orchestrated by CIA. NATO intervened in Libya with its No Fly Zone, but not in Ukraine even after Zelensky begged for it. USA had send troops to Syria, but not to Ukraine, whom Assad accused of stealing oil from the country, but those troops were not reinforced with further soldiers to push out Russian military in Syria and overthrow Assad if they are so "evil". It is well known that USA fabricated evidence and lied in UN in order to invade Iraq which resulted in 800,000 refugees, 250,000 deaths and 120,000 orphans. After the invasion, USA did not take care the "living beings". It broke Iraq but did not fix it. It also let Iraq fell into chaos resulting in the rise of ISIS. Its hypocritical of USA to accuse others of crimes against humanity while it had done it itself. Now, USA and the West are fighting Russia in Ukraine till the last abled Ukrainian. USA attitude is part of the problem.
    1
  1975.  @sebastianwrites  For your essay, its unfortunate that USA had been terrorized by the Taliban that it had lost courage to send formal, professional soldiers to help Ukraine repel Russia, even though USA had given guarantee security agreement to Ukraine.
    1
  1976. Those allies are urging Ukraine to fight till the last abled Ukrainian.
    1
  1977. Its being liberated when the inhabitants left.
    1
  1978. Russia might continue with the rest of Donbas region.
    1
  1979. Ukraine's mission is to drag Russia down with it to hell. Its never about Ukraine.
    1
  1980. You might have forgotten that democratic USA is anti-free trades and globalization.
    1
  1981. So does USA with its recruiting and training of Osama bin Laden, and its current political turmoils between Democrats and Rupublicans. Also, its facing bankruptcy.
    1
  1982. Unbelievably that many American people still want senile Biden to be re-elected for president, who thought that the Russo-Ukraine war had continued for 2 to 3 years.
    1
  1983. Its because USA instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia in the first place, by offering NATO membership to it from USA vice-president Kamala. Then, to deploy nuclear missiles in Ukraine once it is a NATO member ( Remember Cuba crisis ? ). Since it also dishonoured the guarantee security agreement to Ukraine by not sending formal, professional soldiers to Ukraine to repel Russia invasion. USA MUST PAY !
    1
  1984. Yeah. Biden even carried the "mobile nuclear activation suitcase" to Hiroshima to fire nuclear missiles, if necessary.
    1
  1985. So does Ukraine.
    1
  1986. Because tens of millions of Ukrainians had escaped to Europe.
    1
  1987. Same with every US presidents except Donald Trump, regretfully.
    1
  1988. Zelensky had a choice and he chose to stay in power.
    1
  1989. Maybe because Russia has the supports from BRICS, OPEC+, CIS, African Union and others ?
    1
  1990.  @cog600  The original comment stated that Poland would only be a transport hub for allied hardwares to Ukraine.
    1
  1991.  @winterrising8738  The original commentor just pointed out the false information of BBC.
    1
  1992. Except that Japan has no courage to use the Fukushima "safe" water.
    1
  1993.  @BishakaPande  The "global water problem" is too much for a single country, Japan to tackle. Yet, "the World" didn't come together. The scientists didn't offer "viable" solutions, with 1st world rich countries offering resources to help solve the imminent "problem". Nations and its people only know how to complain and "scold", without doing anything to save Humanity evolving to "X-men" in future.
    1
  1994. As you said, "the whole world is seeing global warming", yet Europe still burned lignite, coal and firewoods etc in winter 2022. It even classified firewoods as "renewable energy"..... and no global actions against their criminal acts. So perhaps Japan learnt the "lesson" and decide to dump "safe water" into the ocean.
    1
  1995. Nowadays Zelensky doesn't demand help, he begs.
    1
  1996.  @nerosneros1670  I doubt Putin would want to conquer the whole Ukraine, given the battles only restricted to South-East Ukraine and he had withdrew from North Ukraine in 2022.
    1
  1997. Rishi Sunak won't dare as Britain economy would collapse.
    1
  1998. That's one of the reason for Brexit.
    1
  1999. Isn't Rishi Sunak planning to send them to Rwanda in Africa ?
    1
  2000. Perhaps Europe gave them the impressions that its the land of freedom, democracy and respected human rights ?
    1
  2001. Divide and conquer ? Maybe Russia is also thinking the same tactics. Ukraine attacks the east bank of Dnipro River, while Russia continues their push to the rest of Donbas region after Bakhmut. The one which could do battles on two fronts simultaneously would win the offensive.
    1
  2002. In drips and draps.
    1
  2003. You would have known Ukraine is having manpower problems. To attack at all 3 options without sufficient numbers mean complete failure. Ukraine would also lose Donbas region.
    1
  2004. And abandons Donbas region.
    1
  2005. Everyone knew Ukraine is having manpower problems. That cannot be deceptive in warfare.
    1
  2006. Meanwhile, the battle at Bakhmut continues. Once it ends, the battle for the rest of Donbas region would begin. It is keeping Zelensky on his toes.
    1
  2007. In the attrition war, the best offense is defense.
    1
  2008.  @Sammyli99  It had. Still remember Ukraine's S300 missile U-turn to bomb Poland in 2022.
    1
  2009. It seems that another Bakhmut is forming.
    1
  2010. If Ukraine attack from Kherson to Crimea, would it abandons the Donbas region to Russia ?
    1
  2011. Ukraine could do it once it abandons Donbas region to Russia.
    1
  2012. Perhaps its time for Russia to move some of the 700,000 conscripts.
    1
  2013. Ukraine could do it if it abandons Donbas region to Russia.
    1
  2014. Meanwhile, the battle for Bakhmut continues with the fate of Donbas region in the balance. Also, its maybe time for Russia to move some of its 700,000 conscripts to the frontline.
    1
  2015.  @Inkan1969  At least, it was not from Russia.
    1
  2016.  @Inkan1969  They got it from Europe.
    1
  2017.  @Inkan1969  The informations was from the Taiwan news outlets.
    1
  2018.  @Inkan1969  You do know Ukraine is having manpower problems. As such, how to defend Donbas region in the north while launching an all out attack at Kherson, and perhaps even Crimea in the south ?
    1
  2019. And abandons Donbas region.
    1
  2020. Its already 12/5/23. Still no news of counter offensive from Ukraine. The so called offensive had been postphoned from winter 2022 to spring to summer 2023. Is Ukraine waiting for Russia offensive ?
    1
  2021. Putin so petty ? I assumed you still remember that Russia and Ukraine are still at war ? Its no surprise that Russia blockaded Ukraine sea passage. What was surprising was that Russia agreed Ukraine to sell grains by way of Black Sea for more than a year, so that it could buy weapons and ammo to fight Russia.
    1
  2022.  @calimerohnir3311  Have you read the disclaimer from TLDR News EU ? If not, please read.
    1
  2023.  @calimerohnir3311  It might not really matter in the short term. But this is an attrition war, it would definitely hurt Ukraine in the long term if the blockade is effective.
    1
  2024. Yeah, except that Ukraine would have no money from non sale of grains to buy weapons.
    1
  2025. UN was once a tool of USA.
    1
  2026. Same with NATO. The organisation is too weak to intervene militarily due to its economic recession and military "drained" by Ukraine and Israel ( for USA ).
    1
  2027. No need to wait. Just leave "this burning trashcan of a country".
    1
  2028.  @OneOfThoseTypes  Yeah. Russia would be a powerful "Canada" partner of China.

  2029. I am neither but the answer is yes. Remember vice president Kamala of USA formally welcome Ukraine to join NATO in Nov 2021 ? NATO knew Russia opposed it, still the invitation. Worse, NATO planned to install nuclear missiles in it after Ukraine becomes a member ( Cuba crisis all over again ). In the end, there is no peace, only war.

  2030. Don't you know USA is having a political civil war between Rupublicans and Democrats ? Donald Trump said if he was elected, the Russo-Ukraine war could end in 24 hours. Also, Ukraine would not have a blank cheque for war. As for money, USA is desperately trying to borrow money from rich countries to prevent the country from being bankrupt.
    1
  2031. Except USA could not support war torn Ukraine forever. Also, it expects Ukraine to repay loans and lend/lease with high interest after the war.
    1
  2032. Its the NATO/EU economic sanctions onslaught to Russia that caused the inflations in Europe.
    1
  2033. The audio cut out "tactical retreat".
    1
  2034. How could it be similiar to Korean war ? Unlike Korean war when USA sent soldiers to repel North Korea invasion, USA had no courage to send soldiers to repel Russia invasion from Ukraine.
    1
  2035. Since UK had signed a guarantee security agreement with Ukraine, it should send formal, professional soldiers, jets and ships to help Ukraine repel Russia invasion.
    1
  2036. I agreed with you. No country in war would announced to the whole world, it was going to have a grand counter offensive, and had it delayed for over half a year. Then within 2 weeks of fighting of the grand counter offensive, announced to the world, it is taking a break. That's not how combat works.
    1
  2037. No excuses for the "pause", since the whole world had been waiting for Ukraine's grand counter offensive for more than half a year. Every planning and scenerios should already have been considered by its military. If even the grand counter offensive is NOT no Ukraine side, then it means that Ukraine is unable to retake back the 4 regions and Crimea, even with NATO/EU supports. Ukraine should initiate peace negotiations with Russia. Give up the 4 regions and Crimea and be a permanent neutral country.
    1
  2038. International court of Justice would be packed Ukraine and NATO/EU officials waiting to be charged.
    1
  2039. Its called TLDR News EU and you expected impartiality ?
    1
  2040.  @davidty2006  let's the artilleries do the talking ? Don't you know Russia vastly outnumbered Ukraine in artilleries ? Unless you are saying, My brother in Christ ( Putin ). You don't negotiate with a dictator ( Zelensky ).
    1
  2041. As many as it can be. NATO/EU would fight Russia till the last Ukrainian.
    1
  2042. Just blame the weather for their incompetence ( sigh ).
    1
  2043. The pilots maybe ready in Autumn, the jets may arrived in winter and Ukraine could restart counter offensive in spring or summer, again.
    1
  2044.  @Agent_N7  The whole world had been waiting for more than half a year for Ukraine's grand counter offensive. Whatever planning or scenerios that might happened during battles should have been considered by Ukraine military. No excuses for the "pause". 2 more weeks ? That means Russia has 2 more weeks to beef up their defenses.
    1
  2045. Do it right ? Which means Ukraine wants to postpone the counter offensive till next year ?
    1
  2046. That meant USA and UK had failed Ukraine for not sending formal, professional soldiers to drive Russia out of Ukraine.
    1
  2047. Ukraine already delayed its grand counter offensive from winter to spring to June ( summer ). No more excuses !
    1
  2048. Drones from Iran, ammo from North Korea and money from China. Still, Russia against USA and 30 other countries. Impressive.
    1
  2049.  @toddpick8007  Didn't Ukraine postponed the grand counter offensive for more than half a year ? From winter to spring to June ( summer ).
    1
  2050. Tactical retreat.
    1
  2051. Good news for USA.
    1
  2052. Wrong comparison. Nazi Germany was fighting 2 major fronts with its war materials drying up in 1944. On the other hand, Putin Russia with lots of war resources was defending its occupied lands against Ukraine, which depended entirely on NATO/EU supports, without which Ukraine would not be even able to defend itself.
    1
  2053. Tactical retreat.
    1
  2054. Yes, put demon USA down for its past 50 years of wrecking world peace, with its armed interventions, regimes change, invasions, sanctions and terrorism around the globe.
    1
  2055. By then, after 10 years, Russia would have officially annexed the 4 regions like Crimea with Ukraine, a permanent neutral country. China would have surpassed USA and be a global power.
    1
  2056. Same with USA for blaming China for their misfortune.
    1
  2057. Still remembered NATO/EU tried to destroy Russia economy in 2022 ? Biden once wanted to turn Rubles into waste papers. Its a wonder that Russians still living a decent life.
    1
  2058. Not so. European nations would end up as vassals of USA while Russia would be "Canada" partner of China, though Ukraine might end up as a failed state.
    1
  2059.  @5hurik  Maybe because Russia was just using Wagner mercenaries to do the heavy fighting in Bakhmut, while Ukraine is all in after its 6 months delayed grand counter offensive ?
    1
  2060. At least its "land" line. More difficult to jam than IPhone.
    1
  2061. It seemed that the counter offensive would fail. According to this video, the Ukrainians have yet to breach the 1st defense line out of 5.
    1
  2062. How big is Georgia ? If the incompetent Russian military could occupy the 4 regions and Crimea, Georgia has to think many times before making decision to attack Russia.
    1
  2063.  @sirdeadlock  I knew official draft age is 18 - 60 years old in 2022 but after 11 military mobilisations, it seems Ukraine is drafting "unofficially".
    1
  2064. Isn't Ukraine military is drafting minors and elders from the west for war in east ?
    1
  2065. Why so troublesome ? Just send a 100,000 formal, professional US soldiers to help Ukraine drive the Russian out of the 4 regions and Crimea. As you said, End it !
    1
  2066. Ukraine could claim victory after breaking 5 defensive lines and liberate Tomak from Russia.
    1
  2067. You're joking ? Since Ukraine has no navy and US F16.
    1
  2068.  @joeswanson5486  No, Ukraine wont. 2 more days and we would enter Sep 23. Soon it would be Winter in Ukraine which Zelensky grand counter offensive would force to end. The earliest delivery of 6 F16 would only be early Spring 2024 to begin round 2, maybe.
    1
  2069. After the counter offensive ended ( sigh ).
    1
  2070. @Henry Hudson I doubt NATO/EU would have the patience to wait for a few generations for a a strong and wealthy Ukriane before demanding their lend/lease and loans to be repaid.
    1
  2071. @Henry Hudson I don't know the terms of the lend/lease and loans from NATO/EU, but I doubt it would be so generous as to be almost "free".
    1
  2072. @Henry Hudson Maybe because that person realised Ukraine would be ridden with debts, that would have to be repaid for a few generations after the war ended. Also, NATO/EU failure to destroy Russia economy in 2022, and the fact that countries in Europe shamelessly imported Russian energy through 3rd party.
    1
  2073.  @viktor1496  So had USA and UK for dishonouring the guarantee security agreements with Ukraine. When Ukraine needed USA and UK soldiers against Russia on 24/2/22, their reactions were : I"ll give you weapons, you fight.
    1
  2074. No need as most, if not all NATO/EU politicians are hypocrites. For example, their country import oil from a third party, India knowing full well that it imported crude oil from Russia to "process". If they have to be "out", then most governments in NATO/EU would faced crisis.
    1
  2075. USA had their own Blackwater but with 31.5 trillion in debts, USA did not have "extra" money to hire mercenaries.
    1
  2076. Most likely its Ukraine or USA that blew up the dam, not Russia. The reason was obvious as Russia controlled the dam. If Russia wanted to flood Kherson, it just need to open the flood gates but it would deprive water to Crimea which Ukraine and USA desired.
    1
  2077.  @scottkrater2131  At least the city or town's people are alive before the Russian blew the crap out of it.
    1
  2078.  @scottkrater2131  So the Russian cared enough to evacuate civilians first in case of bombardmemt.
    1
  2079.  @scottkrater2131  Because of the flood ?
    1
  2080. If that was the case, the Russo-Ukraine war would be bring forward to 2014 before Ukraine joins NATO. Since Zelensky was not president at that time, Russia would have claim victory quickly.
    1
  2081. NATO has no courage to send formal, professional soldiers to Ukraine to face Russian forces, and USA is too broke to hire mercenaries to Ukraine.
