  1. I think in this case it’s mainly because this chemical plant is extremely dangerous. If they do lose this position then of course, not only would it be dangerous to then fire into this area and risk more chemical leaks and fires, but also then Russia would have access to potentially weaponisable chemicals that could be used against both soldiers and civilians alike.

  2.  @whiqeddik7615 I truly hope so too friend. I reeeally hope so and it’ll be in time.

  3. Excellent news. Hope this law can be passed A.S.A.P. 👏🏻👏🏻 We need the same thing here in the UK.

  4. We need to allow Ukrainian investigators access to the site and the evidence ASAP. It makes no sense to keep them out of it. After all, they are a key part of this. Why would we keep them out, unless we had something to hide. Let them in so we can get this sorted NOW.

  6.  @colonial1770  That cooould be worryingly true. Who knows. Perhaps the Leopard 2 really is all show and no action. After all, I don’t think it ever has been truly in a proper war against other tanks before.

  7. It’s shocking that this is happening now of all times with all of our countries trying to turn away from China and imposing sanctions and blocking certain products.

  8.  @hotepthomas7247  Dude, 'there is no English constitution'! We don't have one. We do have the Magna Carta though if you're thinking of that?

  9. This new/old flag is a Wimbledon of rebellion and freedom. The irony is just amazing. We stand with the people of Belarus.

  10. So proud of these chaps here. Hope they get to stay. i mean, the police aren't exactly gonna look good if they drag them out of there and just end up looking like the Russian police. Best to just leave them be in this case. Considering the current situation, I thiiiink we can make an exception don't you.

  12. I know right. What an absolute flip. It’s brilliant. I really do hope that these forces were able to make it back over the border with some personnel. It’s safe to say sadly that some probably were still killed, so just got to hope that they were able to achieve some of their objective before heading back.

  13. Destruction is so horrific. I do honestly feel though that a lot of this could be prevented, if the people over there just stopped building so many individual vulnerable houses and started focusing more on building these houses on the flats rather than on the hills which they do to try to fill up every available bit of space as well,as getting the best views😓, and also started building more of the houses out of brick, rather than wood. The US really needs to get over this wood obsession for small houses it has had for soooo long. It’s incredibly wasteful, sometimes bad for insulation in these areas and catches fire way too easily, as the US is only going to increase in temperature at its current rate far quicker than here in Europe.

  14. Here here. It’s insane that it is still being allowed to remain this way. The UN is good, but it’s memberships and how they function is completely out of date.

  15. Ukraine needs to be brought into NATO within really the first six months after the war is over at the latest. No more excuses.

  16. It’s great that people in other countries are finally getting the first doses for under 20s. It’s happening here in the UK as well and they are turning out in thankfully huge numbers.

  17. Yep. We can’t just put up a wall against Russia and just leave them on the outside. We did that before and it just meant the Russians/USSR were free to do whatever they wanted within their own territory and created a line of fear on both sides as to what would happen next. Let alone setting back humanities development and the fight against climate change when we need to be all working together. Not something Russia can do in its current state when their involvement is critical. It will cost lives, but it is better to just get it out of the way now and actually deal with this head on rather than just putting up another Iron Curtain. We neeeed to fight, or one way or another, we’re screwed.

  18. The report at the end was absolutely right there. The Chancellor Scholz really does need to put his actions where his mouth is. Are you almost couldn’t help but laugh when he said that Germany has been providing more help than any other nation. All of us are keeping a keen eye on him and the rest of the German government to make sure they are indeed pressuring him to commit to his promises and actually send the equipment Ukraine needs right now. It cannot take over a month and a half or two months to arrive when they need it as soon as possible. German bureaucracy and obsession to detail be damned.

  19.  @dragoninsight4232  Very true. There’s nothing mentioned anywhere against it.

  20. I really hope there will be more. I want to see if I can help both financially with what little I have or perhaps actually help ‘with my own hands’ down on the ground with some rebuilding.

  22. It definitely feel like that’s what happened. Ecuador probably has now really lost out here with his death.

  23. Yeah that certainly seem right from this so far.

  24. Mel You might want to check your grammar there. It is very poor. And don’t go and insult the good people of Hong Kong like that, who simply want a better life than the one that ‘all controlling Big Brother’ CCP promises in the end.

  25. Mel If western culture is ‘free’ culture, then so be it. We have learned the majority of our lessons, was a lot of Asian countries, especially China have not. We cannot allow them to go down the path of making the same mistakes. Yes, you do learn from them in the end, but usually by then it is too late to change anything. We have to act, before this happens in the first place. All the way from the attacked Uyghur population, to the threatened people of Hong Kong and eventually Taiwan. BTW, in your other sentence you mean ‘DON’T’ care. The ‘T’ you add onto the end is the abbreviation of the word ‘not’. Meaning together ‘do not’.

  26.  @Gentleman_uk  We haven't wanted to though thankfully, and now it seems it is finally changing a bit.

  27. We just Gotta hope they choose the lesser of two bads and actually join NATO while they still can. We desperately need Sweden and Finland to do this ASAP.

  28. This's just more and more unbelievable with every passing day. I just hope the Russian people can keep the protests up and don't fall to the suppression that the government is increasing. Stay strong Russian people. Don't let Putin win anymore. STOP THIS WAR.

  29.  @disposabull  I I think you mean Russian controlled territory not Russia itself. Also yeah, they are sure to try and use psychological torture temporarily while they are still in their hands for information, but I doubt they’ll apply any physical torture with so many people watching and the soldiers will just pass the information on about what the Russians did once the prisoner swaps have been completed.

  30. Yes, but the main thing that’s confusing is that this report just said at the beginning, Joe Biden has ruled out apparently sending F116 fighters to Ukraine!?🤨 that’s kind of confusing because Ukrainians have already been in the US for a few months, now training to actually fly that aircraft. I thought the US had confirmed they were okay with eventually sending them when the training was completed, so why is it being reported now Joe Biden has ruled it out? What’s the point in training them then? I mean, I know it makes sense to do so, if eventually a nation is allowed to do it, but if the US is actually supposed to be the supplier of those planes, then why on earth is Biden ruling it out when he gave permission for them to even go over and start training in the first place?🤨🧐 WHAT GOIIIING OOOOON

  31.  @peabase  Yikes that sounds nasty. I guess Ukraine has just got to make sure they can only take off then from long enough of smooth runways for now. This’s war after all. You can’t always work in the best conditions to meet safety. That is if they actually do eventually get them. this report is rather confusing when it said Joe Biden has ruled out sending them. What’s the point then in actually training them?

  32. I couldn’t agree more. Although, based on what we’ve seen so far in our western countries since the coupe in Myanmar, we are very unlikely to actually do the right thing and help once the bullets start flying.

  33.  @konstantincvetanovic5357  I think you mean country not county. You are right about the wrong country getting the wrong attention though. The only good choices really (on a very large scale) that have been made since World War II are when we got involved in the Korean War and Afghanistan. I’d say, apart from selfish economic‘s, the other biggest reason why we haven’t gotten involved now, is politicians scared about their public image if they lose even one single soldier now in a fight, when the reason why we have an army in the first place is to have people who are willing to risk or sacrifice their lives for other peoples and the greater good. I guess though, in many ways, this is our own fault as well. If we didn’t put so much pressure on governments to always stay out of it through fear of selfishness and bashed them down every time they made the ‘slightest mistake’ and actually try to listen to the reasoning behind tactical decisions they were given by UK military generals, who genuinely do have smarts, despite how much a lot of people on the far left like to bash them, perhaps we wouldn’t be in this position in the first place.😞

  34. Australia really can’t catch a break with climate change now.

  35. Well, he definitely hasn’t banned everyone on Twitter who goes against him. That one you might have gone too far. Some people have been removed, but a lot of those people actually were either being too dangerous or giving away confidential or risky information.

  36. This definitely needs to be done. Multiple different range layers of defence is key both for development and costs as well as efficiency. Diversity of course within the defence sector is key. Having multiple contractors making the same components and weapons. Both in the US and Europe will be important to not only encourage development but also keep the costs down. This is something we have forgotten for the past 30 years and needs to return ASAP.

  37. Absolutely. And that has to be a PROPER democracy. We’ll have to oversee it like we did at the start with Japan and Germany.

  40. Weeeell, at least we FINALLY have some good news coming from China. Birthrate DROPPING. HECK YEEEAH. Now we just need India to join in as well.

  41. There definitely better be MAJOR consequences for Russia if they ever cross over the Ukrainian boarder. By which I mean REAL military force. There really would be nothing more appropriate at that point, otherwise they really will just keep going no matter what and set a bad president for China to start thinking it's ok to do the same thing.

  42. It really would be good if we could send this to Ukraine as decoys, although, doesn’t it kind defeat the point if we are currently showing this footage loud and clear on YouTube? Shouldn’t we really be banning this kind of footage from being reviewed until it is too late for the Russians to react?

  43. Ukraine is fighting smart as best it possible can, as it always should.💪🏼🦾

  44. Well, not unless the suppliers are in the hundreds for the big stuff. In which case talk away. How else are you supposed to actually let your own people know after all that you are actually doing anything? There has to be a line and actually letting your own people know that you are helping a nation survive in the face of such an aggressive enemy, is obviously one of them.

  45. Unfortunately I think a war actually might be the only option. It’s better to do it now rather than later on where China is guaranteed to win. Let alone against Russia when Putin can just keep building up more of his reserve forces.

  46. That’s true. We can’t afford to destroy any more valuable green land with a second industrialisation like that of the Victorian era, and it wouldn’t look at pretty either, so we have to compensate with larger superior digitisation.

  47. I’m on the side of discharging the water. It just makes sense now. I used to be on the other side, but the science backs it up and should be safe to get rid of now. They can’t just keep stocking up water pointlessly forever taking away more mooore land to keep down some peoples’ pointless hysteria.

  48. FINALLY, some bloody greatn news from Germany. Well done chaps on putting enough pressure on your chancellor to finally see sense. These self-propelled Howitzer are exactly what Ukraine asked for. And although they aren't in huge number here, and they 'will have to be' drastically increased, these guns will make a huge difference. Good thing to that they're actually being quick about it to make sure Ukrainians will be over there in Germany training as late as next week. The faster the better. They will definitely want to get some training on them that have had experience working with the Russian Howitzer types to speed it up but not a priority so long as they at least already have some tank and/or artillery training. Let's get this done chaps presto.
