  1. It galls me that nobody raises the issue of Ukraine's human rights abuses in Donbass for the last nine years!

  2.  @kidnew5683  And Zelensky doesn't exactly have all of his bolts tight in his head. Charging hundreds of his officials with treason isn't a good sign.

  3. @Anníe Smith Alexander did say as much in this video. By saying that arms dealers, meeting with Ukrainian officials in a war zone, are protected by the Geneva Convention, he's saying exactly that. No excuses.

  4. As my 10-year-old grandson said when our IP went down one afternoon, "What good is life without the internet!" 😁

  5.  @fazilm1  Except in the case of Lyman, Ukraine suffered very heavy losses. Way out of line with what they achieved. Alexander Mercouris covered this in a video recently.

  6. I'm voting a straight Republican ticket tomorrow, but for me it's a Hail Mary. I don't expect that much will change, but the Democrats are completely off the rails and have to be crushed.

  7.  @andrew30m  Everything you said wrong. If Putin trying to overthrow a "duly elected" president is bad (which is debatable on every count), then what about the US overthrowing the duly elected president in 2014 and installing a US "advisor" in the president's office (aka Victoria Nuland). Why do you think Zelensky went back on every single campaign promise he made as soon as he took office? Just to be clear, Zelensky is only allowed to do what the US government tells him to do. He is president in name only.

  8.  @franksmith417  Russia wants justice. They are, by far, on the righteous side of this matter.

  9.  @williamjones6971  I agree. I told my son about 10 years ago that the US looked healthy outwardly, but it was just a facade, the remnants of a more vibrant era. He didn't believe me. I spent three years sending him information to educate him, and it turned out that he didn't read any of it. It was then that I realized that people under 40 want an entirely different country than I do. I was hoping that I would be dead before I saw the disintegration of the US, but here we are.

  10. Tell that to the EU, the UK, and Biden. Zelensky and Putin had just about come to an agreement back in March, but Boris Johnson stopped it cold. He called Zelensky personally to stop it. Ask yourself, why would he do that? What business is it of the UK government to keep the war going?

  11.  @CrimsonTide001  Modern Russia is not the old Soviet Union, and Putin wasn't in charge. It's a whole different ball game, now.

  12. The hubris of the west is boundless.
    17
  13.  @FugueSt4te  Zelensky has been attacking Russian territory. He's going to regret that.
    16
  14.  @ericpts6811  Who are you trying to kid? The assertions that it was a Russian missle were instant, and if a farmer hadn't taken photos of the wreckage and uploaded them, the west would still be saying that it was Russian. Also, if Ukraine hadn't bombed Donbass for the last eight years and hadn't cut off water to Crimea for the last eight years, Russia wouldn't have gone in at all.
    13
  15. Incorrect. Putin has asked for negotiations many times since Zelensky withdrew from a peace treaty that was almost signed in March; what we're seeing now is due to Zelensky's repeated refusals and the EU and the US encouraging him to keep up this horrible war. Erdogan has also continuously requested that peace negotiations resume.
    12
  16. I agree with you on all counts. I'm sure that this is exactly why others at the Kremlin think that Putin is too soft. Although, it could be that Putin didn't move before was to make sure that Russia was well fortified against western sanctions and other punishments.

  17. Only despots behave that way. Leaders who at least pretend to represent the people's interests don't behave that way.

  18.  @mithrandirthegrey7644  There is no worldwide famine. Food is plentiful. Affording the food is a different matter.

  19.  @tanl7756  Where is the US going to get them? We don't have the manufacturing base to ramp up manufacture that quickly, nor we do we have the materials. We buy most of our steel overseas. I don't see China or Russia supplying us, and Europe is sol. We can't even get the parts to fix critical water treatment systems (my husband works in the manufacturing of municipal water treatment facilities). So how is the government going to supply the huge number of weapons that they're promising?

  20.  @js70371  Not true. A farmer took photos of the wreckage and uploaded them. Because of that, nobody could deny that it was Ukrainian (except Zelensky, who is a nutjob).

  21. Ukraine expects all NATO countries to contribute their entire standing armies. I saw the list somewhere and that would just about do it.

  22. ​ @quantumfreedom8137 I'm not so sure. I saw Patrick Lancaster's video of Wagner leaving the city. Everyone was having a good time. The massive crowd cheered the soldiers, wished them a good journey, shook hands. They chanted "Wagner, Wagner!" Nobody was hurt, nobody was upset. Lancaster was stunned; he thought he would find something completely different. I don't think that it was what the media made it out to be.

  23.  @RobertP123  Sure, that's why the Ukraine army has so many deserters that they're forcibly conscripting women, now. 🤦‍♀️

  24. Actually, it's 46 bioweapons labs according to the Pentagon. At first they were saying about a dozen, then about 2 dozen, then finally 46. A truly horrific number.

  25.  @Juggler4071  You're the one who seems to be having trouble facing reality when it conflicts with your world view.

  26.  @randyg4571  The Ukraine who already ran through or sold on the black market most of the weapons that it received from Europe and the US? The west is demilitarized. The west no longer has an industrial base to manufacture weapons quickly. It's going to take years to manufacture replacements. In the meantime, the Russians have a huge manufacturing base and manufacture weapons every day. They not only have a huge stockpile, but their factories are able to switch over to 100% weapons manufacturing at any time. How is that going to work out for Ukraine?

  27. A farmer took photos of the wreckage and uploaded them. Those photos proved that it was Ukrainian, and that's why everyone backed off the Russian missle talk.

  28. Part of the problem is that the west vastly underestimated Russia's resources and Putin's support, not just domestically, but internationally, and vastly overestimated the resources of the west.

  29. Succeeded? Hardly. More like destroyed. Just curious; with the looming destruction of the dollar's superior position as the world's reserve currency and Europe facing a food crisis, the end of its manufacturing sectors, and the inability to heat their homes this fall and winter, how do you think we're succeeding?

  30. It's what western leaders SHOULD do, but they've done exactly the opposite, example, when Boris Johnson and Biden stopped the agreement that was on the point of being signed back in March.
    7
  31.  @alexandrav9365  Capacity? We can't even supply the weapons we just promised to Ukraine until at least 2024 because they aren't manufactured yet, and we no longer have the manufacturing base to crank out weapons infinitely. Russia, on the other hand, does.

  33. As an American, I'm not looking forward to it, but it's what we deserve.

  34. I agree, but it occurs to me that it could have been done by drone, which would be very difficult to stop. Some military drones are so small that they fit in the palm of your hand. Explosives don't have to be big in size to be effective, and the tiny size of the drones make them difficult to detect and intercept. The US has been using drones as a matter of course for years.

  35. ​ @kevinwaalker He doesn't lie. However, his words may be open to interpretation.

  36.  @jermasbiggestfan7796  It was video he made a year and a half ago. When I checked yesterday, he didn't know which video or else he didn't know what he said that was objectionable.

  37. Says who? I don't know where you got your information, but I don't agree with any of it. He has a degree in civil engineering, is a big history buff, collects historical military artifacts, is a watercolorist, and reached his current position through merit. He's served at the top level of government under many prime ministers. I suppose you think that Putin is stupid? Putin trusts him, and he's known Shojgu for many years.

  38. Putin is 69 years old. I'm 67. You think about it when you get to that age. I'm in disgustingly good health, my doctor says, but two of my brothers are already dead, natural causes. So you think about it.

  39. I doubt it. He isn't really in charge; he's just the face.

  41.  @TheArdildo  That's going to be interesting, considering that Erdogan is due to visit the Kremlin next month.

  42.  @yelenabelousowa9628  The same kind of person said that the rescuing of orphans out of the war zone was "kidnapping."

  43. And Russia has 40 million reserve troops. Those are people who have already served, not even men who haven't served yet. Do THAT math.

  44. ​ @eternity2444 I'm continually dumbfounded by how little Trump and the people around him seem to know about the history of the US's involvement in Ukraine, as well as Russia itself. I've been hoping that talks with Putin would enlighten them, at least somewhat. It isn't that hard to wrap your mind around if you go in without preconceived blinders on. Yes, the US's part in this horror show is a deep, dark rabbit hole, but it's a necessary journey.

  45. Russia is about to field another 200,000 troops very shortly, with at least another 100,000 on the way. They're also now accepting volunteers of men with military experience who have specialty training. We'll see.

  46. "Permanently borrowed...." Sure. That'll work on Trump. 😂😂😂😂😂

  47.  @pamelajessup7931  Yes, it's true. They took his name off the list when he started publicizing the fact. He brought attention to the hit list, however, so now the whole world knows.

  48. Maybe, but the economy in the US rose wildly during WWII. Russia is in approximately the same position now as the US was then: almost unlimited natural resources, a highly industrialized economy, and women who can take up the slack when soldiers are at war. Russia has additional advantages in that they have a huge, highly industrialized friend with fabulous natural resources, including essential rare minerals, just over the border. The US didn't have that advantage. Russia hasn't even had to ration food like the US did. Almost nothing in Russian daily life has changed.

  49. They aren't pulling out. So far, they have 200,000 additional troops out of their goal of 300,000, and they're now allowing volunteers of men with military experience who have specialty training. If Ukraine fielded every adult in the country, they can't match the number of troops that Russia can field. Russia has as many people in the reserves as Ukraine has in entire population.

  50. You and me both. There's going to be a heavy reckoning, and as an American I'm not looking forward to it, but it's long overdue.
