Comments by "Anne Walden" (@annewalden3795) on "“Resolve This Issue Now, Right Now..”: Putin Talks Tough Against NATO Expansion, Warns Ukraine" video.

Do you believe anything Lavrov says ? His position as Foreign Minister has been undermined by Putin in recent weeks .
8
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
@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
@mikaelklingberg1714 On what evidence do you base your diagnosis ?
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
@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
@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
@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
@jayizquierdo9534 Very interesting and thank you .
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
@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
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
@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
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
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
@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
@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
@Sun-zr2ep Putin was also a cab driver
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
@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
@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
@harrisiskandar8356 You are wrong .
1
@sary9348 Thank you for taking the trouble to send me this report which I will consider .
1
@righteousbyfaithinChrist I am happy with my sources.
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
@jakehunt3392 Do you always under estimate people ?
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
@calvinblue894 What was there to discuss? Ukraine wanted to join the EU and NATO but the conditions for entry had not been satisfied.
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 In my opinion he is obsessed with his idea that the USSR be reconstituted .
1
@calvinblue894 I do not understand why you think his strategy does not point the way for Russian expansion.
1
@calvinblue894 The Finns and Swedes might have decided they should distance their countries from NATO. Reactions to events are not always predictable .
1
Joe you can't rely on him telling the truth.
1
@DavidoMAMO Putin is the aggressor and he needs to be charged with crimes against humanity.
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
@FluxMD He spits out nonsense which would not convince a small child.
1
@hearmeout9424 Putin has single handedly made the U S A look good.
1
@Kay-lc4ku Putin does not want to negotiate at the moment .He appears to enjoy death and destruction.
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
Joe Al Capone also spoke about reality and I do not believe either he or Putin deserve praise.
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
@FluxMD He speaks the truth when he is asked a simple question for example what day of the week is it Vladamir.
1
@hearmeout9424 If you believe that you believe any old rubbish.
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
@austindarrenor They are probably called Pupas .
1
@austindarrenor By the way Putin and the Oligarchs made their money by privatising state assets .
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
@joedarkmatter5051 I am sorry if the reply was inadequate.
1
@FluxMD Only when he loses his script .
1
@hearmeout9424 Putin is a bad guy so why complain that the media judged him accurately .
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
@MrKockabilly I agree.
1
@FluxMD Putin was trained never to tell the truth.
1
@williammeek4078 You are 100% correct.
1
@peterbabicki8252 I hope to see this conflict ending very badly for Russia.
1
@hearmeout9424 On this occasion the crime has been committed by Russia.
1
Maria a leader who loves his country so much while he robs it blind.
1
The Sober King Putin is a murderer ,a thief and a liar but you think he is honest !
1
@yome7580 Ukraine is not a part of Russia and this was accepted by the government of Russia many years ago.
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
@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
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
@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
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
@hophuongnamnguyen6349 Unfortunately Russia is not a Democracy and did not qualify for NATO or E U membership .
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 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 I know the U S A is a peace keeper and not aggressive like Putins Russia.
1
@mickowens9839 I don't twist words and I try to base my opinions on facts.
1
Shivam what military weapons were installed in the Ukraine before Putin launched his invasion.I believe you have been misinformed.
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
@mickowens9839 I do not twist words but use words which convey my intended meaning.
1
@mickowens9839 I do not disagree with proven facts.
1
@m_cahit The U S A is not perfect but Putin's Russia is hell on earth.
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
@hophuongnamnguyen6349 On the basis of current performance who would buy Russian crap ?
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
@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 Thank you for the vote of confidence and please let me know when you have verified the so called facts.
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
@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
@deusdasvim Sorry but I do not understand what you are trying to say.
1
@deusdasvim Please don't apologise and have a good day.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 Why ?
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
@Tryagain563 I think you will find there is far more to the story than you suggest.
1
@davicpetrovski155 I mean you do not know the full facts.
1
@harrisiskandar8356 Why do I need to check anything with the U S A it is a matter of historical record ?
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
@mikaelklingberg1714 Who is the person you name as he is unknown to me?
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
@naser1109 Well I would prefer not to have any contact with Russia and zero U S bases.
1
@naser1109 I thought you had offered a choice .
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
@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
@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 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
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
@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
@user-uh1ss7wz2o And what would you expect from a bully boy turned thief namely Vladamir Putin.
1
@najmaalikhan China talks through its ass.
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
@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 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
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
@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
@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 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
@priyanshu3182 I think you are a Bot and I tag you as completely hopeless .
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
@omni-kinggaming5512 Fixing elections is a Putin hobby .
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
@shivamr4725 Oh yes it is .Cruise Missiles are being used to attack the Ukraine by Russia.
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 Good .Putin is beneath contempt.
1
jadley what a joke when Putin wants to recreate the U SSR.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Ukraine has not joined NATO .
1
@felicidadnagata9389 He cares how he kills people ?
1
@anathonyjamaica4390 Putin wants to bring back the U S S R simple .
1
@MrVioletpandora Are you confident that your statement is accurate ?
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
@ruhiraj2935 You must be an innocent abroad .Russia is only interested in violence and crushing opposition .
1
@Lucia-sy7le you are a Putin apologist and do not understand he is an evil and corrupt dictator.
1
@whatamiwitnessing1003 Well said.
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
@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
CHum the Japanese refused to surrender and that is why the Atomic bombs were used.
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
@jane007re You mean Putin should invite NATO to a fist fight?
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
@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
@felicidadnagata9389 complete rubbish he is a thief and a murderer .
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
@MrVioletpandora The problems in those areas of Ukraine were caused by Russia and that is clear to all.
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
@entary4723 I actually study history rather than watch it as you appear to do.
1
@maggiesunrise2621 Making stupid accusations helps?
1
@rthelionheart I am hoping the Chinese attack while Putin is distracted .
1
CHum no one wants to invade Russia but countries on the border with Russia are frightened of Purins intentions.
1
@Lucia-sy7le I am completely anti you and where does that get us ?
1
Jadley you can't believe a professional liar.
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 he wants to expand Russia and to create a monopoly of oil, gas and wheat supplies to the World .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Most African countries were given independence and did not have to fight as you suggest.
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Russians do not have free and fair elections or free and fair Media organisations .
1
jadley you are wrong .Putin has been working on this War for years and his aim is to expand Russia .
1
@jamesmaher1989 I think you have been mislead as there are no NATO bases in Ukraine and Ukraine is not a NATO member.
1
@DAZ84SUDORACING I do not think the U S A would object to military bases on the Canadian border.
1
@ruhiraj2935 Ukraine is an independent country and can make its own decisions without reference to a Russian dictator.
1
@Lucia-sy7le I feel very sorry for you and hope one day you will come to your senses.
1
@Lucia-sy7le A talent that Putin does not have.
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
@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
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 I am Irish .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Because my parents were Irish .
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
@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
@omni-kinggaming5512 Rubbish the elections were fixed.
1
@Nirmal_153 Crimea is now governed by Russia .
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
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
@ruhiraj2935 Diplomacy has not worked in the 8 years since Crimea was invaded .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Oh what an innocent you are .Putin is skilled at fiddling election results.
1
@felicidadnagata9389 You must be talking about another Putin since the one we know is a blood soaked Tyrant.
1
@peterbabicki8252 It doesn't but it gives Russia access to valuable resources.
1
@maggiesunrise2621 Zelensky is no murderer as he is acting in self defence.
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
@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
@jadleyomoi3335 I believe NATO was set up as a defensive organisation and that it should stay true to its founding principles.
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.

@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 Good.

@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 .

@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.

@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.

@sidghurye Because I know better.

Jadley you seem to believe in fairies .
1
@jadleyomoi3335 Were you born yesterday ? Putin is a master at fixing election results or Referendum results .
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 .

@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.

@abdulsalamibrahim8581 What resources are being stolen and how is the theft organised ?
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.

@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.

@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.

@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
@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
@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
@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
@benice6908 Because it was enshrined in a formal treaty and because invading another country is completely unacceptable .
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
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
@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
@Julat291 Russia is a malignant growth and needs to be surgically removed before it infects the whole world.
1
@ZawLin-sk5vm You are correct .Putin has demonstrated that a cold War warrior can be defeated without a shot being fired.
1
@sifull9764 You may be right but we will await further developments.
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.

Hope you are enjoying your visit to Russia .

@winstonbachan9661 What evidence can you produce to convince me Putin is a good leader ?
1
sky Putin is a mass murderer and a thief and that means he has little to say to honest people .
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
@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 We can't change history but we can deal with modern problems .

@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.
