  1. Not so much after a nuclear war

  2. Except it didn’t work. We only avoided mad due to sheer luck and at least two intensive negotiations by politicians on both sides who trusted each other and kept their word. We don’t have the latter on either side right now, and the former always runs out sooner or later.

  3. Yeah, this video definitely isn’t it

  4. He knows what narrative to push, that’s for sure. Not much in the way of nuance and balance, but there never is in the media these days, especially not around subjects like Ukraine or covid.

  5. It really isn’t. It’s very one sided.

  6. He’s been wrong many times in the past, particularly about Putin and the outcomes of diplomatic difficulties. Let’s hope he’s not wrong again.

  7.  @oneshothunter9877  cost to the taxpayers in the USA is always far higher

  8.  @peabase  all of it? We know for a fact that isis and other Islamic terrorists groups have got their hands on arms sent to to Ukraine. But that’s ok though, as long as enough finds it’s way to the front line, am I right?

  9. Definitely worth taking the chance.

  10. Totally agree. This report is lopsided to say the least, and lacks any real nuance, balance or military analysis. The number of comments praising it goes to show how ignorant and uninformed the general public are, partly because of journalism like this, and how much they prefer to be told what they want to hear.

  11. Ever heard of a pre emptive strike?

  12. I love how the media is pushing this idea, and the idea that a pre emptive strike on Russia might be a necessary good idea and would be all their fault. It’s almost Life they’re preparing us for a nuclear war by selling it to us as a good idea.

  13.  @jeanneknight4791  definitely worth taking the chance. The fact they’ve got missiles that can hit targets bares no relation at all to the effectiveness of their nuclear arsenal.

  14. @karmakazi they have now. Throughout history the threat of invasion alone has been enough to start wars. Diplomacy is based on trust.

  15. I fundamentally disagree with the central tenant of the argument made at 09:30. Dropping a “tactical” or battlefield nuke on Ukraine’s massed 250k front line positions, or in Kiev, would achieve both sizeable military and psychological damage. The idea that it would have little to no effect is akin to saying the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan had no effect.

  16.  @2nd3rd1st  just like Germany was solely responsible for both world wars.

  17. Why doesn’t this list detail the weapons sent to Ukraine that have been sold on the black market?
