His Security may have known he was in no danger .

Mr Biden is doing an excellent job helping Ukraine and Europe generally. Much respect to Joe .
8
Do you believe anything Lavrov says ? His position as Foreign Minister has been undermined by Putin in recent weeks .
8
@andrewmorgan5950 The President of Ukraine is a pauper compared to Putin.
6
@andrewmorgan5950 The Ukranian people do not want to surrender .

Davic perhaps you do not understand that NATO is an organisation which comprises a large number of countries rather than just the U S A .Each country is independent and makes decisions on the basis of its own interests. Russia does not work in concert with others and takes an aggressive stance as it is doing in Ukraine .The destruction and the loss of life is dreadful and can't be justified.
6
Russia needs to stop bullying its neighbours .
5
@steveg8102 We will all have to fight for our freedom against Russia.
4
Eligah are you suggesting the U S A should not have become involved in the 2nd World War?
4
@akshaytiwari9251 I do not underestimate it at all and worry about the future of the World .
3
@cg3.0_slowburning2 Rubbish he is a true Patriot. Remember the U S A offered to take him out of Ukraine but he refused to leave.
3
Jason you can't be prepared .
3
Capresti there was nothing to discuss with Putin. Ukraine is an independent country and elected a government in accordance with its Constitution .The Russian view of the Ukraine government was irrelevant and continues to be irrelevant.
3
Christopher there is no issue but Putin is busily creating one as countries apply to be part of NATO.
3
@mikaelklingberg1714 On what evidence do you base your diagnosis ?
3
@iaiolibertario Do you not understand the distinction between defence and attack. The countries who border Russia are all afraid of being attacked and therefore ask for assistance from NATO . If your house was being attacked or threatened you would call for help because it is a natural reaction.
3
@akshaytiwari9251 What are you trying to say ?
2
Josh I do not know how the U S A made such an error in respect of Weapons of Mass Destruction . Please note Saddam did not deny that he had such weapons.
2
@mitzitzanu85 You are completely wrong .
2
Sharon Putin is a very greedy man.
2
Vlad if you know War is not a solution why do you opt for a War with your weaker neighbour?
2
@andreinastase1604 Ukraine is and was a peaceful nation but the same thing can't be said of Russia.
2
@smartgenes1 The President of Ukraine is not mad but a courageous man standing up to a desperate bully namely Putin.
2
Nick Nock you clearly do not know that the Ukraine Constitution contains a clause which states membership of NATO is an ambition. Who told you that it was the idea of the current President which is incorrect.
2
prosimulate I think Zelensky is demonstrating true leadership qualities while Putin is confirming his evil and violent nature. Russian people please rise up and delete this dreadful dictator from your history.
2
Arkman only a few days ago he was accused of being dirty ; he can't win.
2
@elijahhacks6399 I do not agree Putin was determined as far back as 2014 to expand Russia by taking possession of Ukraine partly for economic reasons and partly because he still has ambitions about resurrecting the USSR.
2
Perly the Russians will never be forgiven for this invasion.
2
Jay they are suffering but they are not being shot ,assaulted or raped unlike the poor souls in Ukraine.
2
Thomas it does sound rather odd I have to admit.
2
Steve look forward to hearing about more Russian accidents .
2
@elinrahayu9832 Don't be surprised when people tell you that your statement is foolish .
2
Putin is a sadist , a thief and a liar.
2
@randerson4383 Intervention in Iraq was required because Sadam Hussein invaded a peaceful and prosperous neighbout merely because he wanted its assets .Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to expand his economic stranglehold on the World by taking possession of mineral resources, oil , gas and foodstuffs; NATO is actually a red herring. I strongly disagree with you about NATO involvement as Russia needs to be contained before it is too late .
2
R Anderson the U S A intervened when Iraq invaded Kuwait .I believe the NATO countries had no choice but to help Ukraine when Russia invaded .What you have to consider is that Putin is escalating his military activity and one does not know where he will stop. Someone has to say STOP and mean it .
2
@MariaMaltseva What nonsense you talk and how do you justify your accusation? NATO is not encircling Russia and no country is threatening the country .If anyone might attack it would be the Chinese and that is just as likely as the NATO countries. I suggest you apologise for misleading people .
2
@jadleyomoi3335 Membership of NATO by Finland does not reflect expansion but rather fear of an unpredictable and aggressive neighbour.
2
@Lucia-sy7le What is in a name ? Putin has not improved Russia and indeed in recent years he has made it less and less Democratic.
2
@Lucia-sy7le the Russia of today is not very different from the U SSR .Putin imagines the U SSR was respected and that today Russia is not accorded any respect .His attack.on Ukraine is an attempt to start of the process of reuniting the Soviet Union.
2
@williammeek4078 Exactly .NATO does not need to recruit as Putin does that job entirely free.
2
@armandanderson34 I too am a householder in a place like Ukraine .I wake up one morning and find 150,000 gun men just outside my property. I call the person in charge of the gun men and he tells me it is just a training exercise and I accept that explanation. A few days later the bullets start to be fired, the tanks start to roll and the missiles begin to fly . What do I do next ?
2
@jane007re You are right Ukraine is an independent nation entitled to apply to join the E U and NATO if it wishes .Putin thinks he has some sort of Divine Right to dictate to his neighbours but he is mistaken.
2
jadkey do not believe anything Putin says .He has clearly been planning this invasion for a number of years dating back to 2014 .
2
@jane007re Putin has been ruling Russia for approximately 20 years and the country is mired in corruption .The standard of living for the average Russian has not improved and the promises he made on taking over from Yeltsin have not been fulfilled. He has turned his attention to Ukraine which has oil , gas , mineral wealth and agricultural land and has decided it should become part of Russia once again. The desire of the Ukrainians to join NATO and the EU means nothing to Putin and he is using massive force to get what he wants. A false story is being circulated suggesting the Ukraine government has been killing citizens in Luhanska and Donetska since 2014 but I believe that is propaganda being produced by the Putin controlled media .
2
Andres I do not accept Putin has been ignored .The truth is that Putin has an exaggerated idea of his own importance and that of Russia .He is trying to recreate the U SSR despite the fact that the constituent parts want to be free of Russian interference .
2
@jayizquierdo9534 I am also very opposed to War and I agree World War 3 will mean the end of civilisation. Russia has nothing to fear from NATO but has this paranoid attitude which Western diplomats do not understand . At the moment I am unable to see what can be done to obtain what we need but someone needs to take the iniative and act as an honest broker between Russia and NATO and the UN .
2
@jayizquierdo9534 Very interesting and thank you .
2
@jayizquierdo9534 I hope you are completely wrong about the fate of the Ukraine because the people have suffered enough over the centuries . I think Russia was very wrong to invade Ukraine and in effect to punish the population for NATO expansion when they are not members . The time for ceasing the exchange of bombs etc is now and can't wait for Politicians to climb down from their soap boxes .There is too much at stake for the poor of the World to delay .
2
Javed the Politician who needs to be rubbed out is Putin.
1
As an ordinary European I will die for Japan or Europe .Putin is disgusting .
1
@akshaytiwari9251 I do not agree .Putin is an overly aggressive and ambitious tyrant and he has designs on creating USSR 2 .
1
Josh it is in fact high quality information which is driving Vlad mad.
1
Josh it is easy to mock but difficult to do something to help people find out what is really happening.
1
@mitzitzanu85 I don't understand the point you intended to make.
1
@morpher44 He could sell his collection of watches , his properties, his super yacht and his big tables .
1
@wolfswinkel8906 How do you know Castro requested the missiles ? I believe the Russians persuaded Castro to allow the missiles to be based in Cuba .
1
@mitzitzanu85 There are zero NATO bases in Ukraine .Why do you create imaginary bases ?
1
@Johnny-xi4ti You have fallen for Putin's lies.It was Russia who was murdering people and causing problems in the so called breakaway provinces .
1
@aayushroy0609 Ukraine was not used .Putin decided he wanted Ukraine land , resources and people and NATO is just a red herring .If Putin was genuinely respectful of NATO then he would not have invaded Crimea .
1
bee lotus you fail to explain why Mexico would forge an alliance with a murderous Russian regime .
1
@kirangiri2410 Nothing Putin does is good because he is pure evil.
1
@cezarfernando1802 Mexico benefits from the U S A economically and it would be unthinkable to disturb the current arrangement .
1
@e.lefortl6711 Mexico would not strike up a military alliance with Russia because it is economically dependent on the U S A .
1
@kuntul4499 Do not be distracted by an attempt to draw a parallel that is meaning less. NATO has no intention of attacking Russia but it will try to help Ukraine defend itself from the bully next door. Putin is clearly apoplectic that Ukraine is independent and disobedient but he needs to accept that the days of the U SSR are over.
1
@anticommiescum3155 Good thing the U S A does not pay people to cause trouble in Mexico.
1
@Johnny-xi4ti It is a invasion and the number of troops massed on the Ukraine border was approx 150,000 . Putin did not expect robust defence from the Ukranians which indicates poor intelligence and lack of respect.
1
@Johnny-xi4ti The problems of Ukraine were created by Russia as a preamble to this War .Putin has been planning to invade for many years.
1
bee lotus there are nil NATO missiles in Ukraine .Putin is seeking a new U S SR and NATO is just a red herring you have swallowed whole.
1
@dianadickson6204 The troops assembled on the border numbered 150,000 but perhaps you are enumerate .I doubt the Ukrainians Army numbers half a million since it is well known that Russia has one of the largest Armies in the world . The Russians are constantly involved in Wars and interfering in other countries for example Ukraine from 2014 , Afghanistan , Syria etc . Putin is an aggressive and greedy tyrant who deserves to spend eternity in Hell.
1
@dianadickson6204 You are a stubborn woman who does not listen. I believe Putin is addicted to territorial expansion and corruption and he deserves to be removed from power. My opinion is as valid as yours and indeed fits with known facts.
1
@dianadickson6204 I do not agree. Putin wants to recreate the U S SR and he will stop at nothing to achieve that.
1
@dianadickson6204 Perhaps you forget that Ukraine is not a member of NATO .
1
@Anna-tw3dd The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused damage to the whole world and the damage increases as the days go by. Putin has to be persuaded that his only option is to withdraw his troops and missiles etc and to discuss his next steps with the diplomats from the U N, Ukraine and NATO. Does Putin want to be the man who ended human occupation of the planet ?
1
@thinkcat01 These countries know Russia can't be trusted and that the U S A is a more reliable option.
1
You mean more countries in the East are planning to steal territory from a weaker neighbour .
1
@4692G5 How do you deal with psychopaths ?
1
@woodensurfer I suggest you stop ordering people about before someone punches you in the nose.
1
@woodensurfer Have you taken a look at the record of NATO and Russia ? I think you will find the latter is far for aggressive , brutal and malicious . I personally am sickened by this tin pot dictator named Putin throwing his weight around just because his pathetic country is not treated with respect.
1
@sharonbice7490 some people have learned but not the Russians .
1
@woodensurfer You must know that Russia's security is not threatened and never has been threatened it is just a game played by the Kremlin.
1
Cameron I think killing Vlad has some appeal because this is very much his personal War.
1
Rahul he is imagining a threat which does not exist . Parallels are drawn with the Cuban missile crisis but the difference is that the Russians had the ships at sea with missiles on board. The Ukraine was not even a member of NATO when Putin sent in his army.
1
@STHFGDBY I do not favour the use of any Nuclear weapons but do want rid of Putin.
1
@STHFGDBY I disagree . WW2 gave rise to the dominance of the U S A which is not a wholly good thing. It gave Russia delusions about its importance and role in the world leading to the invasion of Ukraine. War is a very costly way to resolve a dispute and mankind should have outgrown violence.
1
I suggest NATO use a Nuclear Device on Moscow and then wait to see what Vlad does next.Russia is a Nuclear power but it does not deserve respect and I for one am tired of the bullying by what are in reality a bunch of criminals. It may also be worth using a Nuclear Missile on China at the same time .
1
Jean it is not a question of defending a comedian but fellow human beings .You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
1
Vm do not encourage Putin the thief and murderer.
1
@honeybunch6473 Do you think Putin understood he was cutting his country's nose to spite its face ?
1
Your original impression was clearly incorrect.
1
@Hari H If NATO sticks to its founding charter ( being a defensive organisation) there is nothing to fear or dislike. Russia is an aggressive Country and wants to destroy NATO because it has an ambition to be top dog ruling the whole world. Imagine no freedom of expression, a Tsar who can rule without constraint , economic decline , corruption, state media only ; life hardly worth living unless you ate an Oligarch.
1
@Hari H Do they have a choice given Putins aggressive behaviour?
1
@nicknock4091 Russia has no friends just fearful neighbours .
1
@scratchy996 As Putin has aged his obsession with the USSR has intensified .The answer to the current conflict is to arrest Putin and his allies for War Crimes.
1
@kharkanas6779 Which NATO country has attacked Russia ?
1
Tony your cynicism does you no favours.
1
I do not think Mahatma Gandhi would be happy with the response of the current Indian Government . Your world wide reputation is now down the drain.
1
@sun1st Peace with Russia is unlikely and I think there will be a third World War .
1
@sun1st What is the alternative? I am.not prepared to let the Ukranians die for nothing in a cowardly manner as you suggest.
1
Sun Hin you have never heard of the good Samaritan apparently .Ukraine need help and support and the Christian thing to do is to answer the call.
1
@Omar Haider What is your problem ? Ukraine was invaded by Russia and the inevitable response is to fight back ; the wish of the people is to fight.The least we can do is help the victims of aggression and pray that Russia is taught a lesson .If the Russian speakers in the so called breakaway Republics had a beef then they could have left for another country .
1
@tradesmartwithpatience8239 You really ought to shut up before someone silences you .
1
@Omar Haider Spreading more rubbish without the benefit of any facts to support your cynical opinion.
1
Why do you libel the President of Ukraine without a jot of evidence?
1
@mormankhan4729 Just because you can be bought do not judge others by your standards.
1
@isay207 Freedom is a human right and ought to be respected but the World is plagued by dangerous and ambitious Tyrants like Putin.
1
molly tuka we have more powerful Nuclear Weapons now than in 1945 and take it from me we do not want to use them because it would mean the end of human life on Earth.
1
@zg2964 Precisely .Obviously the jobs created in the U S A are ignored.
1
Mike it is not all coming from the U S A .
1
@andrewmorgan5950 Rubbish
1
@andrewmorgan5950 If you do not want a libel.suit then you need to have some evidence before you hint of dodgy financial practice . Are you normally reckless?
1
@naz.tanzeem5982 Petty people set hares running but what is the point of this particular story ?
1
@naz.tanzeem5982 Why are the private assets of a politician of interest to you ? David Cameron was a rich man but no one asked about the source of his wealth which was in fact inheritance .Many politicians earn large sums before becoming Members of Parliament but cynics are suggesting they are corrupt
1
@andrewmorgan5950 Do you always leap to conclusions without evidence .
1
@bensoothsayer9764 If the Ukranians welcomed the Russian troops why did they rape and murder them? If the citizens were welcoming why were their homes destroyed . Why don't you wake up and use your head.
1
George that is incorrect .It was Putin who declared war and invaded his neighbour .
1
@cg3.0_slowburning2 You are so selfish and short sighted.
1
Andrew I think.you are completely wrong.
1
@ppen8359 It was in fact a Trump deal and he is supposed to be a great deal maker.
1
@cg3.0_slowburning2 What did Trump do for the Veterans despite his promises ?
1
@silversteel9161 don't forget Trump bots .Trump loves his brother Putin and recently described him as a genius .
1
Am.sorry about the deaths but pleased another Russian asset has been destroyed.
1
Man from Asia the Russians are not quite alone they will have help from India and China no doubt.
1
@davidlynch9049 Not shabby chic presumably ?
1
Joe the Russian economy has been stripped to the bone by Putin and his Oligarchs. The military is in a parlous state because of corruption.
1
Glenn very badly given the state of the food given to the troops and the condition of the tanks.
1
@luka1608 Mutual destruction is stupid.
1
@luka1608 Why would it be a crime ?
1
If the bridge is to be destroyed make sure Putin is standing on it at the time.
1
@dannytpartyboy The U S A was attacked by Japan but by 1945 the War had swung decisively in favour of the U S A .Unfortunately Japan would not accept that it had been defeated and as a last resort two Atomic bombs were dropped .This was a tragic outcome and I hope the nuclear option is not used in the Ukraine.
1
@NapoleonBonaparte-of4sl I want to become a Russian citizen but I have not been given a passport . Ukraine wants to become a member of NATO but has not joined. Why did Putin have to assemble 150,000 troops plus equipment because a neighbour expressed a wish to join a defensive club? Don't you think he could be accused of over reacting ?
1
Ndondi I think if Putin had a point then he would not have needed an all out war against a neighbour .War is a last resort as it is wasteful in terms of human life and resources .
1
sky Putin is a mass murderer and a thief and that means he has little to say to honest people .
1
Hope you are enjoying your visit to Russia .
1
@Johnny53kgb-nsa It is good to know that Tyrants can motivate people to fight back. I think Putin has become used to playing the part of the self important bully and it must have been a shock to find that aggression does not always work.
1
@ZawLin-sk5vm You are correct .Putin has demonstrated that a cold War warrior can be defeated without a shot being fired.
1
@charleswilliams2945 I don't think that type of meeting would get the situation sorted. Putin needs to take his troops and equipment home and to apologise for the death and destruction. Russia should then pay the Ukraine for the damage caused and sign a non aggression Pact.
1
Capresti Putin's view is understandable if Ukraine and NATO were determined to attack Russia. That is not the case and indeed the opposite is true.
1
@Aaronemmanuel-27 Vladimir Putin has no standards because he is a mass murderer who is trying to recreate a Soviet Empire which was hated by the Poles, Hungarians, Ukrainians etc
1
@benice6908 Because it was enshrined in a formal treaty and because invading another country is completely unacceptable .
1
@benice6908 Do you appreciate that Russia promised to defend the Ukraine and look out how that turned out.It was not a case of word of mouth but actually enshrined in a treaty.
1
@christopersambeli6566 The Russian action in Ukraine is so uncivilised and unwarranted that they are inviting NATO to take retaliatory action. In 2022 you can't invade a neighbour and expect the rest of the World to just sit back and watch. Who is Vladimir going to attack next ?
1
@nizamuddinmohamad6920 Continuing my previous message : * Fear of attack. * Training needs because U S forces are respected . * A desire to purchase US weapons and technology which requires access to staff 24 hours per day. * Membership of NATO or another alliance. Basically the U S does not force itself on other countries but responds to negotiations . Hope my comments help you understand there is no bullying Uncle Sam .
1
@nizamuddinmohamad6920 I am afraid you do not understand and are guilty of leaping to unwarranted conclusions. In the main the U S is invited to build bases in overseas territory .The reasons for the invitation are varied :
1
@Baggio10100 The bases need to be close to borders to cut down on transport problems .I would have thought it was perfectly obvious and of course long range missiles can be placed anywhere including at sea.
1
@datdudeinred Why should the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact have any effect on NATO ? The Russians are supposed to be intelligent but clearly have been found to have miscalculated badly. The break up of the USSR did have an effect on expenditure by NATO as so called peace dividends were taken over recent years ; expenditure will now increase thanks to Putin and his advisors. You make an assumption that NATO wants to increase its membership but there is no active campaign to recruit new countries as you no doubt can see but again Putin has been the recruiting sergeant for Sweden , Finland etc to consider membership is essential to preserve freedom and Democracy. Putin has over played his hand and should quit the game for the sake of his sad country and his fellow citizens .Recruiting Syrians will not save his strategy and will represent another scar on the reputation of the Russian Army.
1
@abdulsalamibrahim8581 What resources are being stolen and how is the theft organised ?
1
@επιθετικόακτινιδιο People throughout the World appreciate the point made by Anderson but you have been brainwashed into thinking the members of NATO threaten Russia. In fact the NATO countries are scared of Russia and have no intention of attacking the country .The phrase defensive alliance is correct but Putin pretends he does not understand because he enjoys throwing his weight around . Russia needs to sort out its Constitution , its Justice system, Media etc and to get rid of Putin and all his Allies and to seek an end to warfare completely . The performance of Russia in Ukraine has highlighted that in a conventional war there is nothing to fear and indeed it is a laughing stock. Perhaps it will be possible for Putin to get a new job as a comedian once he ceases to be President of Russia.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Were you born yesterday ? Putin is a master at fixing election results or Referendum results .
1
Jadley you seem to believe in fairies .
1
@PlayshotKalo Was it a genuine fear or a useful method of getting the Russian people on side for a war on NATO ? To be honest he ought to have known that the NATO countries would never declare war on Russia because it is a defensive alliance .It is more likely he was misled by the FSB into thinking a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be welcomed by the population; telling him what he wanted to hear rather than the truth. I wish Putin had not made the decision to invade but looking at the Russia of today it was a wise decision to turn down the applications made by Putin to join NATO.
1
@williammeek4078 I do not think the people of Ukraine had a formal vote but there is an understanding within the country that they should join the EU and NATO.
1
@ruhiraj2935 Negotiations have been carried out behind the scenes but it has not been possible to achieve agreement. My thoughts are with the brave Ukranian defenders .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Good.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 What good advice .May I say you would benefit from verifying the propaganda you have digested like a good little person. Have a nice day.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Defence against any enemy for example France is a traditional enemy of the UK and who knows what the future holds. Germany is also a known enemy and it is impossible to rule out how a rearmed nation will react in years to come.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 I believe NATO was set up as a defensive organisation and that it should stay true to its founding principles.
1
@ruhiraj2935 Ukraine negotiated with Russia for many years and with NATO for many years. It was Putin who decided to call a halt to negotiations and instead to have a second invasion of his neighbour. Funny how you fail to notice who took the decisive action. Please note Ukraine is not a member of NATO and neither is Russia.
1
@maggiesunrise2621 Zelensky is no murderer as he is acting in self defence.
1
@peterbabicki8252 It doesn't but it gives Russia access to valuable resources.
1
@felicidadnagata9389 You must be talking about another Putin since the one we know is a blood soaked Tyrant.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Oh what an innocent you are .Putin is skilled at fiddling election results.
1
@ruhiraj2935 Diplomacy has not worked in the 8 years since Crimea was invaded .
1
@MrVioletpandora It was not a genocide but a defense against Russian incursions .Try to take off the blinkers and get treatment for the brain washing .
1
@Nirmal_153 Crimea is now governed by Russia .
1
jadley believing anything said by Putin is a serious mistake. This crazy dictator wants to recreate the U S S R and he needs to be stopped for the good of the whole of humanity.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 We can't change history but we can deal with modern problems .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 I think the first Iraq conflict was justified but I think George Bush should not have attacked Iraq in the second Gulf War .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Because my parents were Irish .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 I am Irish .
1
jadley you can't possibly think Putin will stop until he has conquered Ukraine completely. Someone needs to remove Putin from the world .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 There are an awful.lot of European people who are scared of Russia for obvious reasons .Who do they turn too to feel a little safer ?.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 I acknowledge Russia has security concerns but in fact there was never a threat .Putin had another agenda which you fail to acknowledge .
1
@Lucia-sy7le A talent that Putin does not have.
1
@Lucia-sy7le I feel very sorry for you and hope one day you will come to your senses.
1
@ruhiraj2935 Ukraine is an independent country and can make its own decisions without reference to a Russian dictator.
1
@DAZ84SUDORACING I do not think the U S A would object to military bases on the Canadian border.
1
@jamesmaher1989 I think you have been mislead as there are no NATO bases in Ukraine and Ukraine is not a NATO member.
1
jadley you are wrong .Putin has been working on this War for years and his aim is to expand Russia .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Russians do not have free and fair elections or free and fair Media organisations .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Most African countries were given independence and did not have to fight as you suggest.
1
jadley he wants to expand Russia and to create a monopoly of oil, gas and wheat supplies to the World .
1
@firegalacticgamer2799 I do not believe Putin. Ukraine lost territory to Russia in 2014 and in 2022 Putin launched an attack on the whole of the country. He has made ridiculous accusations about fascism and more recently secret laboratories which suggest he was planning to replace the elected government with Russian stooges. What you have to understand is that all the countries once dominated by Russis value their current freedom.They are frightened of Russia for obvious reasons and are trying to join NATO as insurance against the nasty neighbour. NATO has not allowed Ukraine to join because the organisation was sensitive to Russian fears. Putin thinks fear is akin to respect but it is not ; he has no conception of soft power which is one of his mistakes.
1
Jadley you can't believe a professional liar.
1
@Lucia-sy7le I am completely anti you and where does that get us ?
1
@rthelionheart I am hoping the Chinese attack while Putin is distracted .
1
@maggiesunrise2621 Making stupid accusations helps?
1
@ruhiraj2935 The problem was the Ukranians were faced with 150,000 armed soldiers on the border. Hardly conducive to negotiations I think you will agree. May I also remind you that Russia agreed to defend Ukraine from all attacks once over a thousand nuclear warheads were transferred to Russia.I am at a loss to understand how Putin equates his current conduct with defense of a neighbour.
1
@MrVioletpandora The problems in those areas of Ukraine were caused by Russia and that is clear to all.
1
@vhedgfhew Of course Putin is trying to expand Russia's borders and to exploit the potential of Ukraine to make him and his friends richer. I repeat Ukraine is not a member of NATO and posed no threat to Russia. Just take a look at the forces at the command of Putin and compare with the Ukranian Army .I think Putin imagines the population of the World is stupid when he falsely claims he is defending his country.
1
@felicidadnagata9389 complete rubbish he is a thief and a murderer .
1
@Lucia-sy7le The truth is that Russia is a gangster state ruled by a tyrant .Why do you think there are so many Oligarchs and why is Putin one of the richest men in the World ? I believe Putin enjoys the sight of human beings being killed and the destruction of buildings ; take a look at Syria and Ukraine.
1
@jane007re You mean Putin should invite NATO to a fist fight?
1
@kaspertube512 No free press , no free media , no political opposition and no independent judiciary .What a lovely country it must be and no wonder the birth rate is falling and the young are leaving .
1
@felicidadnagata9389 Take your head out of your ass and you might see that Putin is just another greedy tyrant who doesn't give a damn for the Russian people .Because of his corruption he is one of the richest men in the World.
1
@felicidadnagata9389 Putin is interested only in being rich and powerful .He has not improved the lives of the Russian people in his years in charge of the country but has created a large number of oligarchs .
1
@whatamiwitnessing1003 Well said.
1
@Lucia-sy7le you are a Putin apologist and do not understand he is an evil and corrupt dictator.
1
@ruhiraj2935 You must be an innocent abroad .Russia is only interested in violence and crushing opposition .
1
@MrVioletpandora Are you confident that your statement is accurate ?
1
@anathonyjamaica4390 Putin wants to bring back the U S S R simple .
1
@felicidadnagata9389 He cares how he kills people ?
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Ukraine has not joined NATO .
1
jadley what a joke when Putin wants to recreate the U SSR.
1
@priyanshu3182 Good .Putin is beneath contempt.
1
@Kevinschart The Soviet Union broke up and independent countries were formed including Ukraine .Putin ignores the legal framework created by the dissolution and like a child wants to turn the clock back to the old days of the U S S R .The World has moved on and only Putin wants to go back to the Soviet Empire where he is King . He is not afraid of NATO or of a militant Ukraine and is merely pretending that there is an issue. I agree with Biden he has to stand down as President of Russia and appear in the Hague to answer charges of War Crimes in Syria and Ukraine. Humanity has to stop this violence and countries need to work together .
1
@priyanshu3182 Why don't you just shut up until you have something worthwhile to say. Probably 20 years time on the basis of my estimation.
1
@jeremybentham9891 NATO wants Russia to behave as a civilised Nation with a proper Constitution and a functioning Democracy .It is clearly for the Russian people to decide how this is accomplished and who should be head of State but Russia should not pose a danger to its neighbours in future .
1
@omni-kinggaming5512 Fixing elections is a Putin hobby .
1
@omni-kinggaming5512 Oh no he isn't.Russian elections are rigged and opposition leaders end up dead or in prison. Don't you know what is going on in the World ?
1
@priyanshu3182 I think you are a Bot and I tag you as completely hopeless .
1
@Kevinschart It is difficult to think myself into Putin's head.I do not believe War solves anything and I do not believe in revenge killings or greed . Biden has been criticised for suggesting Putin needs to be replaced as Head of State but I think he is right. There is no relationship of trust between Russia and other World Powers given Putin denied there would be conflict in the Ukraine .
1
@Andrewf5251 Where do you get the information that the Ukraine bombed parts of the border region ? The fact remains that Ukraine is an independent country and any issues with Russia could have been dealt with by the UN rather than by tanks and missiles .
1
@Kevinschart What has Putin tolerated ? Face the truth Putin is only interested in the greater glory of Putin and has neglected the people of Russia.
1
Yukio what warnings did Putin give ? When he parked 150,000 troops and equipment on the Ukraine border he said don't worry it is only a training exercise .
1
@priyanshu3182 The Ukranian people do not want Russian interference and you ought to apologise for your crass view of Putin's motive in assaulting a neighbour.
1
@priyanshu3182 Putin is a trained KGB agent and can pretend to be patriotic at the drop of a hat.Basically he is a conman and has been fooling the Russian people for more than 20 years .If his wealth has been honestly acquired why is he so secretive about it ? I am so sorry that you have placed your faith in a fictional character.
1
@priyanshu3182 A leader is a person who puts the aims of his country / people before his own ambitions. Putin is not a leader but a gangster who puts his own financial prosperity before the needs of Russia. He is one of the richest men in the World with palaces, yachts etc and surrounds himself with wealthy Oligarchs who are allied to him. End the corruption and the rule of the Putin Mafia.
1
@najmaalikhan China talks through its ass.
1
@omni-kinggaming5512 Rubbish the elections were fixed.
1
@jeanettem.taylor9722 How has Ukraine broken the terms of the treaty. It is not a member of NATO and it has not invaded Russia. It was in fact Russia who invaded Ukraine and stole the Crimea in 2014. Basically you can't trust Putin ; he is the man who said these 150,000 troops on your border are on exercise.There will not be a War .
1
yulio NATO has been very careful not to offend Putin over the years but the man is a monster. He needs to be removed from power as a matter of urgency and replaced by a young , well educated and tech savvy person with a Moral Code.
1
@Natan I do not think the Gulf States prioritise anything except the almighty dollar which they spend on luxury goods, gambling , racing horses and camels and football.
1
@Natan When partners do not agree they talk it through and the minority view can be adjusted when all the relevant facts are explored. Factors to be taken into account are military strength,economic activity , weapons availability, geography and intelligence implications.
1
@Natan That may occur but I guess if the country which says no is for example Southern Ireland than the other countries may ask for a rethink.
1
@Shruti Sinha It was inevitable that Russia would use its Oil and Gas to pressurise Europe but sometimes you have to do the right thing and take the pain. Clearly the German Chancellor Merkel made a strategic error making her country dependant on Russia and she ought to be investigated .
1
@naser1109 I thought you had offered a choice .
1
@naser1109 Well I would prefer not to have any contact with Russia and zero U S bases.
1
@Devil-024 I do not think it is a question of definition but more a case of demand for U S involvement caused by fear of Russia ,China and North Korea.
1
@mikaelklingberg1714 Who is the person you name as he is unknown to me?
1
@επιθετικόακτινιδιο Has it occurred to you that NATO does not want to be involved with Ukraine but has been forced into helping by Putin.The invasion of Ukraine can't be isolated from the NATO countries and the scenario is that there is danger for Poland, Hungary etc if Putin is not stopped now. I am perfectly capable of breathing and writing but you been to take your brain and dust it down before it seizes up completely .
1
@davicpetrovski155 I mean you do not know the full facts.
1
@Tryagain563 I think you will find there is far more to the story than you suggest.
1
Has NATO built a base in Ukraine and installed Nuclear Missiles ? The Russians secretly built a base and were ready to install missiles trained on the U S A .This action was akin to a declaration of War and had to be dealt with as a matter of urgency. Surely Russia should have signed a non aggression Pact with the U S A long ago and built up its economy rather than its military .May be Putin is just a greedy cold war warrior rather than a politician.
1
@deusdasvim Please don't apologise and have a good day.
1
@deusdasvim Sorry but I do not understand what you are trying to say.
1
@loralarose9615 You must be the only person in the World who thinks Russia is not a threat to the people of Ukraine .How do you have the gall to say such a stupid thing and how do you explain the murders, the rape , the pillaging and the sheer destruction but perhaps you are deaf , blind and callous .All War is wrong but the 2022 invasion by Russia is completely and utterly outrageous and I commend the Ukrainian Army for responding with courage in defence of its homeland .
1
@Johnny53kgb-nsa He has been allowed to bully for too long and it may have been a shock to find that the worm has turned. Hope the worm is Teflon coated and has a strategy to cope with aggression. May God be with the people of Ukraine.
1
@mickowens9839 Thank you for the vote of confidence and please let me know when you have verified the so called facts.
1
@azaniabantuzulu It is unclear if Cuba purchased weapons from Russia but they were about to be installed before the Russians changed their mind.
1
@mickowens9839 8 years ago Russia took Crimea and that was treated as a warning to Ukraine .There were also incursions into the border regions of Ukraine and interference from Moscow in Ukraine internal affairs. In such circumstances most any country asks for practical help .
1
@hophuongnamnguyen6349 On the basis of current performance who would buy Russian crap ?
1
Shivam the people of Ukraine did not expect a Russian invasion because of the common bond between the two peoples.After all when you give up your Nuclear weapons and sign a Peace Treaty it is not too much to expect that you are safe from attack.
1
@m_cahit The U S A is not perfect but Putin's Russia is hell on earth.
1
@mickowens9839 I do not disagree with proven facts.
1
@mickowens9839 I do not twist words but use words which convey my intended meaning.
1
@sisadumalisile3176 I think the Americans are pretty transparent and are far from being hypocritical .The Russians were rather stupid thinking they could get away with planting nuclear weapons in Cuba and Castro clearly did not consider the implications for his people if those weapons had been used.
1
Shivam what military weapons were installed in the Ukraine before Putin launched his invasion.I believe you have been misinformed.
1
@mickowens9839 I don't twist words and I try to base my opinions on facts.
1
@mickowens9839 Accusations have been made by Putin apologists and obviously they are not based on facts. I tried to clarify the reality for the sake of the Ukranians who are falsely accused by their neighbour.
1
@mickowens9839 If you sell anything complex to a customer it is usual to supply training .The fact remains that Ukraine does not have NATO bases and is not a member of the organisation.
1
@shivamr4725 Oh yes it is .Cruise Missiles are being used to attack the Ukraine by Russia.
1
@hophuongnamnguyen6349 Unfortunately Russia is not a Democracy and did not qualify for NATO or E U membership .
1
There are zero NATO missile sites in Ukraine and you have swallowed whole Putin's propaganda. Please be more careful about who you listen too .
1
@Oto8991 Russia did not qualify for membership because it was not a Democratic country ; Putin has made his country less and less Democratic as the years have passed.
1
Shivam there are no NATO weapons in Ukraine but there were Russian weapons in Cuba .Ukraine is frightened of its neighbour for obvious reasons and wants to join NATO and the EU for protection but it's application has not been accepted.
1
@julixomogaming What lies have we been told?Are you suggesting Russia did not invade Crimea in 2014 or Ukraine in 2022. Do you claim the Syrian people were not subjected to Chemical weapons?
1
I think you are a drunk and need to sober up quick if you think Putin is truthful. Russia was not under any threat from Ukraine or NATO.
1
@yome7580 Ukraine is not a part of Russia and this was accepted by the government of Russia many years ago.
1
The Sober King Putin is a murderer ,a thief and a liar but you think he is honest !
1
Maria a leader who loves his country so much while he robs it blind.
1
@hearmeout9424 On this occasion the crime has been committed by Russia.
1
@peterbabicki8252 I hope to see this conflict ending very badly for Russia.
1
@williammeek4078 You are 100% correct.
1
@FluxMD Putin was trained never to tell the truth.
1
@MrKockabilly I agree.
1
Putin is an evil man and he has no justification for invading Ukraine .His claims are so stupid they sometimes make me laugh out loud.
1
@hearmeout9424 Putin is a bad guy so why complain that the media judged him accurately .
1
@FluxMD Only when he loses his script .
1
@joedarkmatter5051 I am sorry if the reply was inadequate.
1
@joedarkmatter5051 I believe that Putin is a sick man and is thinking about his legacy for the future of Russia. He believes the USSR ought to be reformed and devised a plan to use an invasion of Ukraine as the starting point of that project. Unfortunately his plan has not worked and to be honest he is now uncertain what to do next. The logical step is to sue for peace and withdraw the troops , the navy and Air force but is he capable of doing that .
1
@austindarrenor By the way Putin and the Oligarchs made their money by privatising state assets .
1
@austindarrenor They are probably called Pupas .
1
@austindarrenor Of course Putin employs PR people to give him favourable write ups . Anyone who speaks ill of Putin is likely to be shot , arrested , imprisoned , poisoned etc .I very much admire the people who stand up to be counted but they are taking a real risk .
1
@hearmeout9424 If you believe that you believe any old rubbish.
1
@FluxMD He speaks the truth when he is asked a simple question for example what day of the week is it Vladamir.
1
@ЮляШкаленова You are clearly unaware that all your neighbours hate Russia. It did not take any propaganda to persuade people in the Eastern European States that Russia is a cruel, greedy and malicious neighbour.
1
Joe Al Capone also spoke about reality and I do not believe either he or Putin deserve praise.
1
@austindarrenor he can gain your confidence until you total up his wealth and wonder what he did to become one of the richest people in the world.
1
@Kay-lc4ku Putin does not want to negotiate at the moment .He appears to enjoy death and destruction.
1
@hearmeout9424 Putin has single handedly made the U S A look good.
1
@FluxMD He spits out nonsense which would not convince a small child.
1
@ЮляШкаленова Ukranians do not need propaganda because they are innocent victims of Russia .The irony is that in return for Nuclear War heads Russia promised to protect its neighbour from attack. How can you have any trust in Russia after the 2022 and 2014 betrayals.
1
@DavidoMAMO Putin is the aggressor and he needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.
1
Joe you can't rely on him telling the truth.
1
@calvinblue894 The Finns and Swedes might have decided they should distance their countries from NATO. Reactions to events are not always predictable .
1
@calvinblue894 I do not understand why you think his strategy does not point the way for Russian expansion.
1
@calvinblue894 In my opinion he is obsessed with his idea that the USSR be reconstituted .
1
@calvinblue894 You think Putin is important but he is a jumped up thief and dictator . I think you will find more countries will be applying to join NATO thanks to Putin's efforts .
1
@calvinblue894 What was there to discuss? Ukraine wanted to join the EU and NATO but the conditions for entry had not been satisfied.
1
@randeepkaur3814 You are misinformed .Ukraine is not a member of NATO and there are no NATO bases in Ukraine .Putin is trying to turn back the clock and recreate the U SSR but he fails to understand that Russia is hated by the majority of Europeans .
1
@jakehunt3392 Do you always under estimate people ?
1
@righteousbyfaithinChrist I am happy with my sources.
1
@sary9348 Thank you for taking the trouble to send me this report which I will consider .
1
@harrisiskandar8356 You are wrong .
1
@harrisiskandar8356 I know the U S A is a peace keeper and not aggressive like Putins Russia.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 The Americans are not paranoid and your argument based on that premis is spurious . The U S did have some strange ideas about Communism which resulted in the Vietnam War but generally the country is interested in money and prefers jaw jaw rather than War War .
1
@harrisiskandar8356 The last time the U S A was attacked was 1941 when the Japanese Navy sank a number of Ships and killed over 2,000 US sailors. The U S declared war on Japan who were allied with Germany at the time. The Germans then declared War on the U S A and that brought America into the Second World War . Hope that is the information you were seeking.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 The U S is not a war like country as you suggest.Any nation which is threatened by another can be bellicose but few nations are as expansionist and violent as Russia. It is easy to be anti American but it is even easier to be anti Russian .At least the U S A does have an independent Press and an independent Judiciary.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 Why ?
1
@harrisiskandar8356 Why do I need to check anything with the U S A it is a matter of historical record ?
1
@user-uh1ss7wz2o And what would you expect from a bully boy turned thief namely Vladamir Putin.
1
@SumeragiChain I am sorry but you have been brain washed by the Russians. There is no way NATO has provoked Russia and why did Putin lie by saying his troops did not intend to invade but were just training .
1
CHum the Japanese refused to surrender and that is why the Atomic bombs were used.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 Russia did invade the Crimea in 2014 ; at the time Crimea was part of Ukraine . The NATO powers imposed some sanctions on Russia at the time but clearly insufficient to deter the tyrant Putin . I pray he has an eternity in hell to repent of his cruelty .
1
CHum first of all Russia is a dangerous country with a huge army plenty of weapons ,a nuclear arsenal and a tyrant who stops at nothing to achieve what he wants. As far as I know Ukraine is not a member of NATO or any other defensive alliance but it is a poor country with the potential to improve if sufficient investment takes place. I know NATO has helped Ukraine with weapons and training but I do not believe there are bases in the country at all. Taking your example of a householder I see it it like this. I am living in a small house next door to a huge estate. I am aware my rich and powerful neighbour wants to expand by absorbing my house and I do not want to sell. I buy a gun and take out insurance which he regards as provocative acts and he launches an attack. My insurance company helps me with ammunition and legal advice / sanctions but nothing stops my neighbour. How do you think I feel. Russia is a vindictive bully and no one has launched any military attack against it .An attack may be desirable because this bullying and aggression cannot be allowed to continue.
1
@entary4723 I actually study history rather than watch it as you appear to do.
1
CHum no one wants to invade Russia but countries on the border with Russia are frightened of Purins intentions.
1
Eef I have run out of patience with you and concluded you are some type of Bot . Russia applied to be a member of NATO on several occasions but it was unable to qualify .Just because its applications were turned down does not mean war is a likely outcome . Lavrov keeps on changing his mind suggesting some weeks ago that it was not the Russian intention to invade and then parroting his Masters Voice. I find Lavrov to be a complete and utter creep who is untrustworthy .
1
@jayizquierdo9534 I accept the U S A might prefer war in Europe but the fact remains that it was Russia which attacked Ukraine firstly in 2014 and for the next 8 years when it launched a major strike. I am willing to accept there might have been some provocation by certain Ukraine citizens but we now have a situation where millions of people are going to die of starvation because essential foodstuffs are trapped in Ukraine. We need peace now to prevent further death, wounding ,rape and pillaging by Russian soldiers.
1
@sidghurye Because I know better.
1
@sidghurye I hope you are wrong about NATO.
1
@sidghurye Would rather not have more people killed / hurt and favour a speedy end to this War in Ukraine .
1
@sidghurye They are both liars . Russia has been hell bent on War with NATO for many years not because they are fearful but for ambition .World domination is the aim of the game.
1
@Julat291 Russia is a malignant growth and needs to be surgically removed before it infects the whole world.
1
@sifull9764 You may be right but we will await further developments.
1
@winstonbachan9661 What evidence can you produce to convince me Putin is a good leader ?
1
@Sun-zr2ep Putin was also a cab driver
1
@luso7487 You are right .
1
Anonymous you do not know what NATO planned to install in Ukraine .I think you are guilty of counting your chickens.
