  1. Doesn't matter to Putin if the Russian people suffer economic hardship. Putin and the silovoki will never suffer. They will pursue their wars of conquest even if people are starving - look at their history. This is what they do.

  2. We should help the Kurds.
    454
  3. The US should do everything they can without putting American soldiers at risk. Intelligence help is a cost-effective way to support Ukraine.

  4. She was stating the obvious. It's common knowledge.
    386
  5. Why subsidize a country that doesn't support the EU consensus? If they want to join Putin, there will be consequences.
    159
  6. Gaurantee of safety says Lavrov - how can Ukraine trust any Putin promise. It would be foolish for Ukraine to agree to demilitarization.
    131
  7. Its been obvious for months that Hungary is playing for the other side.
    114
  8. The most capable people have left Venezuela. Maybe the bots in the comment section should go live in Venezuela.
    105
  9. One can only hope 🙏

  10. I suggested Ukraine make Crimea a priority, and the comment was immediately deleted.

  11. Just to be clear, if Ukraine gives up it's military it's all over and is effectively the same as surrender. Russia will have no incentive to keep any agreements it makes.
    78
  12. Modern day slavery. Call it what it is.
    75
  13. The foreign minister handled that very well despite aggressive challenges from the interviewer. He seems like the kind of calm rational thinker Moldova needs right now.
    72
  14. Nick is a great war correspondent. Good piece.
    53
  15. If they want an authoritarian leader it's their choice. Don't know why they would want that, but Hungary and Turkey chose to go that way. Maybe some cultures just like to be ruled that way.

  16. They didn't really answer the question: Who is funding the rebels? (Excluding absurd conspiracy theories)
    46
  17. Its about time. At least we're moving in the right direction. It will take years to completely de-risk.
    37
  18. The English speaking countries are natural allies. This development seems like what you would expect between allies.
    37
  19. I never miss a Perun video. Most reliable analysis I'm aware of.
    34
  20. His trolls must be totally confused. They don't know what narrative to push 😂
    32
  21. Seems like a lot of countries are facing political gridlock these days. Even so, it is better to have gridlock than autocracy.
    31
  22. At least a partial solution. Everything than can be done should be done.
    31
  23. Maybe it's time to think about a no fly zone again. Either that a lot better protection against long range missles.
    29
  24. The Turks still haven't taken responsibility for the genocide of Armenians 🤔
    28
  25. It took a long time but thankfully Ukraine is finally pushing back. They can win, that is clear now. Patience 🙂

  26. I like the way this reporter does interviews. He asks tough questions without being annoying.
    25
  27. De-risk, not decouple. Dont become dependent on China for critical resources and products.
    23
  28. RIP Azov battalion. Putin is going to have them killed or imprisoned in some remote prison in Russia. Very skeptical about a prisoner exchange.
    23
  29. Just a taste of what will happen if China continues their aggression in the South China Sea. Even a partial decoupling will hurt their economy.
    22
  30. This would be the perfect time for the people of Belarus to rise up.
    22
  31. He has a unique point of view. The West should listen to what he has to say.
    21
  32. @jrkr7357  Yes, but he can pretend that it was more than that and blame his losses on the Wagner group.
    19
  33. This is important. I hope people are paying attention.
    19
  34. No doubt celebrated in Gaza and the West Bank
    19
  35. Always feel bad for the Kurds. Their neighbors on all sides keep attacking them. They seem like decent people, I've met a few over the years. Don't know why their neighbors won't just leave them alone.
    18
  36. Way too soon to make a prediction. Ukraine is training more troops and getting more weapons every day. Russia was already at maximum strength, only a full mobilization will increase their strength. As long as Ukraine continues to get support from the free world time is their side. There is a good chance they will drive Putin's army all the way out of Ukraine, back to pre-war boundaries at a minimum.
    17
  37. Something unexpected is going to happen. I don't think anyone has a clue.
    16
  38. Life goes on. This is what the fight is for in the first place. I'm glad they have something positive like this in their lives
    16
  39. Military Keynesianism. It works until public services and infrastructure start to fall apart.
    15
  40. I wonder if the basis of German support for Ukraine is the same as others in the free world. For me, as an American, its about a free nation that doesn't want to fall under the tyranny or Russia. A tiny fraction of our budget is all Ukraine needs. We don't even need to put our troops at risk.
    15
  41. I wonder what the Europeans think about this. Are they as concerned about it as most of us in the US?
    15
  42. The Chinese borg are moving into the south China sea. Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.
    14
  43. The Alawites aren't going to give up power without a fight. Assad has a fierce core group of support that have been privileged for a very long time.
    14
  44. The only way the outcome favors Ukraine is if the West acts powerfully and quickly. If it drags out for months then Americans will lose interest. Sadly Americans have a short attention span 😒
    13
  45. What China did to Hong Cong is exactly what Taiwan couldn't accept that as a solution
    13
  46. NATO has kept all the best weapons for itself. NATO would crush Russia in a conventional war. Wouldn't even be close.
    13
  47. Would the US give up territory if it was attacked? No, and neither should Ukraine.
    12
  48. They have to negotiate with Turkey to keep their bases. The rebels will go along with whatever Turkey wants
    12
  49. Good presentation. Sound reasoning and good interview management. Well done 👏
    11
  50. This is good. Now that Germany is on the right side of history the free world will benefit from the resources and abilities Germany brings to the alliance.
