  1. But Ukraine did not have any cannons pointed at Russia.

  2. Excuse me, but..... Car sales in Russia are down 58.8%, from 1.6 million to 687 thousand. Avtovaz has been producing and selling cars with no air bags or antilock brakes due to parts shortages.

  4. Russian journalists can make interviews in USA. The problem is Russian government does not allow their journalists to leave Russia. Many Russians who leave Russia do not want to return.

  7.  @stefanl5183  No good dude. The current unemployment rate is 3.4% -- one of the lowest unemployment rates in the history of the country. Everyone who is able and looking has a job and our economy has never been better. Your arguement does not wash under the light of day. Store shelves are full and prices are only up 25% in 2 years -- not 3 or 4 times. Gasoline has dropped back to $3.39 a gallon. The U.S. homeless rate is one of the lowest in the world and in case you have not noticed, the "invisible" homeless have never been mentioned in any political debate. The crime rate has been falling every year since 2010. Aside from being too liberal, U.S. schools are some of the best in the world. A million Chinese people spend their own hard-earned money every year to come here and study American technology. Do the Chinese go to Venezuela to study Venezuelan technology? No. No one is going to blame Biden for a train wreck -- that is not a presidential responsibility. Friend you may believe that America is buried in problems and turmoil that could be used as fodder in an election campaign -- but I can assure you that the average American doesn't. You are suggesting that the Biden administration effected regime change in Ukraine in 2014 so that they would have a bogeyman to point to TEN YEARS LATER. Not a chance that happened. And if you will check the movie, the REPUBLICAN Bush is in the movie. The coup would have had to be agreed to by both democrats and Republicans or it could not have happened. It would have had to be a U.S. policy thing. Not something used by only one party to create a "bogeyman" for an election. You are gasping at straws with a conspiracy theory made of swiss cheese and styrofoam. And even if the United States did set up Putin as a "bogeyman" that would be no threat to Russia whatsoever. All of the resultant action ends up taking place in a U.S. election campaign -- not on Russian territory. What I am looking for is a SOLID SUBSTANTIAL REASON the United States wants anything that Russia has so that they would be considered "threatening Russia" by effecting regime change in Ukraine. The British empire was after spices, the Spanish conquistadors were looking for gold, the Dutch just wanted to trade with everybody and get rich, Hitler wanted Ukraine's abundant wheat fields to feed Germans and eventually attacked Russia to get control of their oil fields. What precious commodity does Russia have that the United States Congress would vote to declare war on Russia and take the big guns into Russia and kill a million Russian citizens and take? What do we want that Russia has? Think about that and give me a real answer.

  12. Ukraine was not shelling the border with Russia. Where did you get that nonsense? Ukraine was shelling russian separatists who were trying to secede from Ukraine. It was not close to the border.

  13.  @paulproductions9213  Not really. Ukraine was not destroying itself -- it was holding itself together. Here in the United States we had a similar situation in 1860. 11 states joined together and tried to secede from the United States. But the central government started a war with them and forced them to remain in the United States. The war lasted 5 years and 200,000 Americans were killed in the war. Then the separatists were defeated. Do you think the United States would be stronger today if it is a whole country or if it is divided in half?

  14.  @paulproductions9213  I am not sure if they were using NATO's weapons or not. Most of Ukraine's weapons up until this year were made in the Soviet Union. If NATO gave them some weapons free of charge, they would be NATO weapons. On the other hand, if Ukraine bought weapons from NATO and paid for them, they would not be NATO weapons -- they would be Ukrainian weapons. I think you need to stop blaming NATO for a war that was started by Ukrainians.

  15.  @paulproductions9213  If the separatists wanted to be Russians, they had the option of immigrating to Russia. There was no reason for them to start a war. You know that Russia was arming the separatists and that the separatists were shelling Ukrainians with Russian weapons, right?

  26. The United States government does not own ports in other countries. As far as I know, no U.S. corporations do. When trying to understand these things you have to make distinction between what a government does and what is done by private individuals.

  28.  @wekurtz72  I am one of the Beligerent Indians who intends to stop the socialist takeover of this country. And you are engaging in your wishful thinking and denying reality. Those shows are not "magazine shows." You are lying about that and you know it. Particularly . . Frontline is National Public Broadcasting and the entire network only focuses on quality programming. Even while I am typing this I am watching a 53 minute Frontline documentary about Americans being evicted. You do not think a documentary about Americans being evicted is important? CNN only focuses on quality content. The news networks do not go into depth, but they do a good job of fair and honest reporting. You did not like the president that the people elected, so that makes all of the media outlets bad? CNN cannot be trusted because they "set up" a president? They dod not do that and you know it. It is another of your lies. But claiming the entire network cannot be trusted??? 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ Dude. You are seriously not okay. Why don't you stop lying to both of us and try making the country a better more honest place? And stop being an evil socialist.

  29. We are not "throwing Ukraine under the bus" and we have NO INTERESTS AT ALL in that area of the world. What does the United States need from Ukraine? Nothing. Grow up.

  30. What are you a Russian propagandist or something? This is just a pile of lies. The referendums were fake. Mostly civilians were mobilized. Ukraine was not "shelling Donbas." They were shelling Russian militia separatists who were trying to steal the Donbas region and the separatists were shelling the Ukrainian military just the same. When the citizens of Ukraine wanted to throw out Yanokovich, the United States aided the good citizens of Ukraine. So what? It was a homegrown movement by the citizens of Ukraine. Yes. The documentary does leave that stuff out because it is all lies and propaganda and has no place in the film. Grow up.

  31. The root cause of war is communist ideology. The country which embraces communist ideology becomes afraid of everyone. Putin is afraid and believes that America wants to destroy Russia. This led to bad decisions causing war.

  37.  @paulproductions9213  NATO has never done any shelling at all in Ukraine. You need to check your facts. This is a civil war between East Ukraine and West Ukraine. It is not Russia's business and they did not need to get involved. All Russia has done is cause escalation in the war and make the whole situation worse. They did not help anything.

  38.  @paulproductions9213  I just explained to you that holding a country together is not destroying it. Are you dumb or something??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  39.  @paulproductions9213  If you go to the current Ukrainian government website, you will see a page there for reporting any corruption you know about in the country. I think that says it all. The current government was legitimately elected by an overwhelming margin. So let's give them the chance to run the country.

  46.  @berrandO  Russia is an "information-controlled" society. The government tells Russians what to believe. The Russian government does not want any information to come into Russia that would contradict what the Russian government says. That is not allowed in Russia. Everyone in Russia must agree with the government. Sometimes when Russian people express their own thoughts different from the government position, they can be detained by the police. Some Russians do not like that, so they leave and never come back. From 1917 unitil 1989 the Russian border was completely closed and complete information control. Then in 1989, Gorbachev instituted "glastnost" and Russian became more open. But starting in 2022, the information in Russia is closed again. You will notice that in the beginning of the film, Daria was very open about protesting the war and was even directing meetings against the war. But at the end of the film, Daria was afraid to answer the phone. That is a closed-information society. Ouest = West

  50.  @lauradeaubois5115  Ukraine does not want to be a part of Russia. And they are not all the same ethnic group. Ukraine has 2 main populations: Anglos Slavs The Anglos (in the great majority) are sophisticated and want to progress forward into the twenty-first century and join the future. The Slavs (way, way in the minority) want to join Russia, live in the past and be poor, dumb, and broke. And neither race is afraid to say how they feel. In fact, the Slavs feel so strongly about it that they pulled off coups in their towns, tried to secede from Ukraine and started a civil war over it. And by the way . . . They speak different languages.
