  1. Hes refusing to end a war, because as soon as it does, he is going to have whats left of his people to answer to.

  2. Not even close to what happened. From the start, Zelensky was pouting and fuming and made a scene like a teenager who got the car taken away, trying to embarrass his parents in front of company, to make them give it back. So, Daddy had to take off his belt in front of the neighbors.

  4. 'I never liked Bolton, but now he says something that agrees with me' Maybe what you should consider is that if Bolton agrees with you, that you are on the wrong side.

  10. @unxusr  No, I just watched the press conference for myself and didn't need to be told what to see. You should try it sometime.

  14. Maybe what you should ask yourselves, is what you could do to deserve the massively outsized support you get from the US. Nah, why would a Eurat ever think they're not just entitled to someone else's stuff? Weird how none of you know what NATO is. It was created to keep France, Germany and Britain from destroying the rest of the world trying to take each other's stuff... again.

  16.  @urbanimage  Oh, is this justification for the 'no content' ad hominem? You know, some people, most people in fact, have 'no content' on their YouTube channel. Many, have (((private))) content that you are just not privileged to see. This is almost as stoopud™ as the 'Joined in 20xx' dodge to dismiss anything you cant argue with. But, probably the most vacant is the '[x] subscribers and no content' as though anyone can control other people subscribing to their channel.

  18.  @doughooper9918  NATO is irrelevant. It was set up to prevent another intra-European war. More specifically to keep France, Germany and Britain from destroying the planet, fighting over some petty disagreement. The first principle was that WWII happened because primarily, Britain and the US didn't intervene immediately. The premise being that if all the eventually engaged countries had acted immediately to challenge Germany, it would've stopped at Czechoslovakia. But that was always a false premise, because Britain and the US were both essentially disarmed after WWI and likely would've been decisively defeated, with nothing left to stop Germany from domination of Europe. France didn't capitulate because they couldn't fight, but because they didnt want to fight. NATO doesn't change that. Article 5 is not automatic and requires a vote, which is still available without NATO or Article 5. As seen with Iraq(twice) and Afghanistan, where all NATO members joined along with just as many other nations (note the irony that Ukraine participated in the 2003 'coalition of the willing' to invade Iraq). The chief value of NATO has been arms and supply compatibility standards, which several countries have drifted away from since the turn of the Century. There is nothing to stop or will stop cross training between members or a defense coalition, without NATO. All it serves as anymore, is a war council to cause trouble. Its a gang

  21. @HomeFromFarAway  No, I watch the one where Zelensky attempted to hijack a press conference for a pre-agreed trade deal, to publicly pressure the President of the United States, in the Oval Office, to give in to his demands for escalated war support. I watched the one where a spoiled child didn't understand that no means no and had to get a talking to in front of his friends

  22.  @daydays12  You have exactly zero clues what you're talking about. That 'old equipment' is the strategic stockpile. Its maintained and kept in reserve for when theres an actual, for real, bona fide war with someone who can fight back and you start losing all your shiny, new, expensive stuff that there wasn't enough of to begin with. I mean, how can anyone possibly not understand this, in this very context? The equipment is a miniscule fraction of what the US has been providing in capability and infrastructure that no one else on the planet possesses. Chinese and Russian combined capability are the only thing that comes close and the remainder of NATO's combined capability is about a single digit percentage of that. Realtime space and high altitude ISR/RSTA assets, high angle imagery, a dedicated analysis corps just for Ukraine, SIGINT, IMINT, HUMINT, BDA, EW, secure comms, early warning, logistics and transport, medical support, Humanitarian support, etc. We have been running our own full-time, full-scale intelligence and logistical war, as if we were the ones fighting. $350B is a lowball figure for just that, let alone the equipment. As for trying to rationalize it as 'supporting American industry', the gvt has a word for doing that with your own business or finances and I sincerely recommend against trying it. But that aside, you are literally justifying the most devastating war since WWII, as a 'jobs creator'. That is irredeemably immoral and unethical as it gets.

  23.  @GaryWardatCoastalBliss  The only setup was from Zelensky and it got stuffed, because he expected Trump to give him the room and just sit there shaking his head and saying what a monster Putin is, before praising his unparalleled courage, humbly thanking him for saving democracy for the world and pledging whatever it takes to defeat Russia. He tried to force the Donald's hand and got the back of it.
