  1.  @oyekunbiadams8742  The US has been arming and training Ukraine nationals for years. The war from the west's prespective is, arms sales, issolating europe from russia and drawing russia into a forever war... Russia seems to have taken much of that to it's advantate and helped create a dual pollar world economically.

  2. Exactly! But who do we have to replace him with?

  3.  @avibhagan  It has already been going on for eight years... The west wants it to go on indefinately... How does it stop?

  4.  Jim Stewart  My understanding is that Ukraine had the secound most powerful millatary in europe. It was certainly being deployed to kill Ukrainians before it was destroyed.... Russia has consistantly asked for that to stop, for Ukreane to be nutral and for Ukraine to denazify.... For seven years agreements were signed that to that effect and violated by Ukraine and the west... That ask is still in effect and is unlikely to be softened during the coflict that was designed to achieve that political end. The west's goal is to keep the conflict going... How does it stop?

  5.  @redakteur3613  Isn't it 'funny' the way everything we thought would happen under comuninsm [a theoretical economic state of being] is now very real and happening under 'capitolism' [a word coined by an admirer of captiolism marx].. What is really happening in greese and other contries is we have a state of feudalism.

  6.  @netzoned  There is a deep dive into facts..... Like there is a fly on a dead human body... or they were wearling a certain brand of paints. Not that that addresses anything pertentent... The main narrative around the bodies is that they were extra judcial pont blank range killing by russians. There is no independent varification of that claim... From the video evidence there are people who claim that the bodies were less than two days old and that there was no on line evidence of bodies before that... That was after the retreat of the russians. You can be sure that the russians won't retreat again unless there is a treaty to do so.

  7.  @netzoned  I tend to think it follows the similar pattern as the other reportings in the western media... False flag, justifcation for war for dollar dominance, natural resources... I listened to scott ritter's assesment of the bodies here as well...

  8. ​ @netzoned  The point I was making in an earlier comment is that the video IS a deep dive into facts that don't address how those bodies got there and how they died.... Or it doesn't address the central issue.

  9. My understanding is that the russian fleet was insuring the security of the grain shipments when it was hit by it's ukrainian counterparts in that effort.

  10. Russia had problems getting paid for the gas as well as Siemens getting equipment that they shipped to the west. Definately a war crime against europe.

  11.  @bubbasmith179  There is no difinitive proof that the US did this... It is odviously a huge war crime against europe.

  12.  @howardnguyen8257  You are probably right.... The guys that bombed the nucliear power plant in Ukraine may have been rouge actors or had the blessings of someone in Nato... How many thousands will die because of the pipe line being bombed?

  13. Only thing they can do is to pray for a mild winter.... . Right now they are struggeling with the energy crisis theory.... When everything shuts down in the middle of winter and the pipes start busting they might have to reconsider their postions or there will be nasty coups.

  14.  @epaminon6196  If europe stays the course and swears off cheap energy, keeps it's energy monopolies then water pipes will burst in the north.... Big towns will be in huge trouble with hunger, cold and lack of mobillty... ...What do you think would happen under these probable sercomstances? Historians tend to think that uprisings happen when people are under that kind of critical biological stress....

  15. Biden made an analogy of the cuban missal crisis when russia was arming a state at at the US border.... That threat was removed... When the US arms a state that borders russia, that threat is being dealt with as well.

  16.  @machismo4256  So far we don't have any proof... Deliberately destroying civillian infrastructure is a war crime and this is a very serious attack agaisnt many nato members... Although the head of a nato state threatened to do such a thing and it happened is not proof.

  17.  @vettemuziekjes  Terrorism is a term coined by 'the world community' .... Falls under 'rules based order'.... This is a minority of the world defined by US hegomony.... What I think you mean is that these explosions whiped out much of the evidence.... It was a war crime as described by international agreement, an attack on civillian infrastructure.... It is also an attack against nato and nato is supposed to respond to that with a unified front against the attacker... We all in agreement as to who we think the actor is that destroyed the pipelines... It is important that we get some proof.

  18. The ground game was lost a long time ago... Ukraine is running out of men... The west is saying that they need to stop because they have no idea what an embarrassed Putin will do if he loses.

  19. @christos4426 To be sure Trump has done more progressive stuff in tow weeks than anyone has done in the US in forty years.

  21.  @RussiaDestroyer  Sanctions were mostly against Europe...

  22.  @RussiaDestroyer  It was clearly very hard to live in Russia during Perestroika which was the break up of the soviet union and domination by Wall Street. Putin was the favored son of the west to replace Yeltsen and he betrayed the west's econmic grab. That is why he is hated by liberals and neocons in the west.

  23. ​ @ocox8659  Media in the EU has been dominatead by US money, as the Trump adminstration demostrates by releasing detailed reports of money payments to European MSM.. The narratives that they are working with don't support Europe. As Gemran forign minster Angelina Berbak said "My commitment is to Ukraine regardless of what the German voters think." Now they find themselves powerless.

  24. There is no problem in the west about sending weapons... The point is to send weapons and have another profitable forever war. Unmitagated victory.

  25.  @sjishah  Democracy is doing whatever the US wants even if you are unimployed, broke, cold and homeless...

  26. I am not sure it matters what happened anymore.... They are doing the typical 'can you prove russia didn't do it?' Technicque... When they start making possible allogations and ask people to prove them wrong, it seems like the facts don't matter anymore. They have done this with the most outlandish allogations imaginable.... The technique is this: they make a claim that is outlandish, they back up that claim with a bombarment of factual statments, some of wich are clearly true and others that are clearly fabricated, if some of those claims are adjacent to the allogation, they keep on saying that they are proof that the allogation is true because it is adjacent to the allogation.

  27. The EU is a bannana republic of the US. They are willing to do more than what the US wants to destroy their economies and societies.

  31.  @katealeksen4168  It is NOT TRUE that russia can't finance their war machine because of the sanctions... Their commodities [read COMMODITIES] are selling for more than they did earlier and the russian currency is the BEST PREFORMING this year... I wish the west would come with a plan that makes things work... How is it that they don't have no one [HERE] that can ballance a candy store ledger?

  35.  @OleksandrBarraniv321  The US and russia seem to be willing to figth to the last Ukrainian man... Is it possible that Ukrainians will be tired of getting killed and stop?

  37. Biden thinks it is similar to the cuban missle crisis when russia put missiles on the US border.... When the US puts missiles on the Russian border there is a way to remove those as well... The destruction of the pipelines and the attempted destruction of the bridge leave the infrastructure that takes more mentions to the russian border vulnerable. It is not an operation similar to the one in Iraq, that was termed 'Shock and Awe' where the US tore the place apart.... These are russian brothers and sisters.... But infrastructure that is used as logistics for destruction of other russian teratory is vulnerable to attack....

  42.  @andreasschmidt5857  I am not sure how mercinaries fit into intergrated millatary systems and command structure... I am sure russian commanders have their hands full trying to orginize local combatents... Patrick Lancaster visited a LPR or DPR encampment-command post the other day... They impressed me as a group that could occupy an area and not so much for an offensive or mop up opeations... Needless to say it, there is little information getting out on russian command structures and offensive opperations. The only one I listen to about that stuff is Scott Ritter... I am not an expert.

  43. As an american and a mechanical designer, I stand to benifit from this war because of the hardware that is being thrown into the grinder. I don't wan't to see western civilization die at it's own hands like this. The west has declaired war on russia and it's people. When russia brings out the biggest guns in it's arsinal it is considered unfair.

  45. The history is that Yelsen was strongly incouraged by the US. After that the life expectancy in russia declined by three to five years because of privatizing mostly by US interests. After that putin was thought to be an ally of the US's liberal economic policies. When he wanted to make russia strong russia and putin became a target... Ukraine was one of the tools that they used to target russia.

  46. They used their technical term 'millatary technical response' meaning that they will be doing what they have to do to defeat armies and weapons systems at their door.... Russia is pretty much done with their 'special opperation' in Ukrane.... The war was mostly for sanctions against europe...

  47.  @DianeMerriam  Nato has been all over the middle east and north africa defending US hegimony... They are the same guys that support econmic warfare against any target the US deems a target... Now EU is targeting it's self for sanctions for US interests like they did in '08.

  48. But they are US resources and we intend to get those resources from both russia and china.... Otherwise our banking sytem can't even survive with massive bail outs.

  50.  @Jahvec  They have a tendency to be soverign.... Sanctions have been strengheing food, money and other economic soverenty.... When Russia was our [I am US citizen] 'friend' these were things that were in serious doubt. Homelesness as well as a decreasing life span were huge problems... If you are German you are probably about to experience the soverenty that you turned over to US as German manufacturing is relocated in the US. With respect to Russia Putin became a huge boogy man in the US because he stopped the kinds of things that Germany will most likely be subjected to.
