  1.  @yellowtunes2756  I guess I'll have to imagine it - seeing as it is just fake ruSSian disinformation.

  2.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  "They fought that very well in both Chechenya and Syria" I don't think bombing the citizens of Aleppo with chemical weapons can be called fighting well. When you have overwhelming weaponry used against mostly defenceless civilians it's more like "slaughtered" than "fought". So you can see why Ukrainians want no part of russian domination.

  3.  @ilovejesusalways  Why do you keep deceiving yourself? The russian army not only failed to capture Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts ince 2014, but also failed to capture Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts since 2022. Not to mention having failed to take Kyiv in 3 days and ALL of Ukraine in two weeks. I call that success. "Only Russia is advancing" Where? in the last 12 months Ukrainian army gains are at least equal, if not greater, than russian army gains. If you want to go back another four months then Ukrainian army gains are hugely greater than russian army gains. So stop deceiving yourself, silly russian troll.

  4.  @carlosandleon  And you are a propagandist from the start. This is your purpose.

  5.  @Gerrard_Pike2008  You would have to be very naive to believe that most of the residents of Aleppo (and other cities ruSSia bombed to hell) were all "Al Nusra groups and all others mercenaries". But then again, you support terrorist ruSSia so you must be naive.

  6.  @carlosandleon  Yes you are. You are putting a false slant on this channel. "I’m just saying it how it is" No you're not, you are trying to slag this channel, trying to make out that it is worthless. "If I want more objective news I go to speak the truth or something" Last time a supposedly "neutral" person recommended a supposedly "neutral" channel - it was obviously pro-ruSSian.

  7. ​@dadlord689 "while Ukraine will get less than $80b that didn't make difference before". Silly ruzzian troll. Ukraine liberated well over 20,000 sq km as a result of foreign funding.
    1
  8. ​@dadlord689 And it is very hypocritical of you to raise the human losses, as it is the instigator of this war who is solely responsible for those losses. If ruzzia goes home those ongoing losses will stop immediately.
    1
  9. ​@dadlord689 Your reference to the Nova Kahovka dam is another example of your hypocrisy. Blaming the victim for ruZZia's destructive actions. Maybe you shouldn't sniff so deeply, the fumes that spill from the ruZZian propaganda machine.

  10. ​ @dadlord689 Another stupid statement. ruzzia has failed in every aim they set in their 3 day Stupid Military Operation. Not a single aim has been achieved in 657 days. Silly ruzzian troll.
    1
  11. ​@dadlord689 No I haven't forgotten what happened in the first days of the war. Then $80b arrived and ruzzia was forced out of 10% of Ukraine. Are you really that ignorant of the facts?

  12.  @joshuabean9409  "The goal is land acquisition not troop retention" Yes, isn't that a totally abhorrent attitude to human life. What a shame they are wasting all those human lives while gaining no land. The ruSSian army hasn't gained any significant land area in over a year - yet here they are effectively murdering tens of thousands of their own troops - and for what? In a futile attempt to gain some land. One of Pootin's justifications for this war was to protect ruSSian speakers and ethnic ruSSians in Donbas. Over eight years 3404 civilians were killed in the fighting in the Donbas. Pootin has killed that many ruSSian speakers and ethnic ruSSians in the Donbas in four days - his own people.

  13.  @joshuabean9409  China's support will remain limited. Their desire to remain trading with the west is stronger than their desire to support an anti-US federation in decline. "It has yet to be seen how this plays out" Too true.

  14.  @joshuabean9409  "I am simply not discrediting their massive contribution" No indeed, you are simply discrediting Ukraine's contribution - which "doesn't really mean anything it only betrays your perspective".
    1
  15.  @joshuabean9409  Liar. In your first post (the second post in this thread) you wrote "ruSSia lost far more troops in World War 2 than anyone else, And they won that." Further down you wrote "The forces that were Allied with the ruSSia won." Giving ruSSia sole credit for the accomplishments of the USSR is not giving Ukraine "massive" props - that is dismissing Ukraine's contribution. So I'll say it again - Liar.
    1
  16.  @joshuabean9409  "Nothing I said was untrue" Liar. You can squirm and thrash about as much as you like, but when you said "I am simply not discrediting their massive contribution" you lied because that is exactly what you were doing. There was no "implied meaning" in your statements. Your meaning was clear - you clearly stated twice that it was ruSSia that did, what the whole USSR did - thereby demeaning Ukraine's contribution. You accuse me of bias. I will happily admit I am bias against any nation that unjustly tries to invade another. But you try to pretend you are not bias. You say "ruSSia exists", but can you say "Ukraine exists"? Can you say "Ukraine has the right to exist as an independent sovereign nation without interference from ruSSia"? You are making assumptions about my reasons for watching this video. My reasons are none of your business - but let me assure you I don't need your affirmation.

  17.  @joshuabean9409  You've been caught in a blatant lie. Either admit it or bow out gracefully, ruSSian troll.

  18.  @niewaznie3764  You are so wrong. Hungary is part of NATO and is not helping Ukraine. So when you say all of NATO is helping Ukraine, it is not true. You say it is achieving nothing, but again you are wrong. It has already prevented Ukraine from being overrun by a belligerent neighboring state that has gone rogue. Help so far has stopping that aggressive state in its tracks. It will eventually enable Ukraine to throw the aggressor from most or all of its land. It has also considerably weakened the belligerent aggressor. Slava Ukraini.

  19.  @niewaznie3764  My siciety is not being ruined by LGBT. Why would I want to ignore aggression, including the torture, rape and murder of Ukrainian civilians in order to persecute LGBR people. Surely what Russia is diing is causing enough suffering in this wirkd and yiu want me to cause more suffering. You have a very myopic view if life my son.

  22.  @samgragas8467  Oh Sam, you poor sad ruSSian troll. If you did even the tiniest bit of fact checking you would know that the Ukrainian army has liberated at least six cities "during 11 months". It is the ruSSian army that has failed to take so much as a single city for over twelve months. That's how it can be.

  25.  actinium2754  He didn't say Ukraine was in NATO. The US won't even be able to pay to keep it's own government running if MTG gets her way. So how is it an important member of NATO now? How can it honor its NATO obligations? Will it ever honor its NATO obligations again if the Orange man wins in November?

  26.  actinium2754  He never said Ukraine was in NATO.

  27.  actinium2754  "That is why Poland is receiving weapons and Ukraine is not". Incorrect. Thanks to Mike and MTG there is barely money to keep the government running. If Poland is receiving weapons it's because Poland has paid for them. Ukraine could do the same (but will likely have to find someone else to pay for them).

  29.  @Imperius12  "russia holds more then 20% of ukraine". Wrong. ruyssia holds 18.36% of Ukraine, up from 18.0% near the beginning of the year. Insignificant advances at HUGE cost in russian men and equipment. You should fact check more often

  30.  @gloomy5487  "Since when is Ukraine a tiny country?" Ukraine is tiny when compared with large, and greedy for more, russia.

  31. ​@Imperius12 That's correct, it's attritional warfare. The Ukrainians are attriting russian men and machinery at an accelerating pace.

  33.  @leimertseptimius1836  Better than "hoping and depending" on Russia and it's... oh that's right Russia doesn't have any friends.

  34. ​ @jdee8521  "a lot of countries will get a cut of Ukraine" is straight out of the Russian propaganda handbook. There's only one country trying to get a cut of Ukraine - and that country is called Russia. Stop watching Russian television, it's addling your brain.

  35.  @EndahZaheren-jw8tw  "cannot accept Ukraine totally lost and collapsed". And it's obvious that you DO think "Ukraine totally lost and collapsed", which as we all know, is untrue. So that makes you look very foolish on this international forum. Imagine showing the whole world that you have no grip on reality. Silly ruSSian troll.

  37.  @ZDarabos  Unfortunately the US is an unreliable ally. But I believe Japan produces Patriot missiles under license. Maybe they can be sourced from there?

  38.  @QANews  Hey QANews. Why do you come here pushing a peace that ruSSia is denying Ukraine? Why not cut and paste to a pro-ruSSian channel? Warmest regards.

  39.  @ArmedSpaghet  "what bad news is there?" Slow creeping ruzzian gains - albeit at a massive cost in ruzzian lives and equipment.

  41.  @m.cl.ballista4642  "Ukraine already lost" - so that makes two losers in this war, because ruSSia sure isn't winning. It must be embarrassing for ruSSia to start a war, intending to win it within 14 days, and still not be winning after 665 days. I can understand that Ukraine - the victim of ruSSian aggression - is unable to beat a well prepared "mighty" russian army. But I can't begin to understand just how humiliating it is that ruSSia is unable to beat unprepared Ukraine. Slava Ukraini.

  42.  @hardtackbeans9790  It is amazing that people like @nocomment believe all the ruSSian BS. Are they too dumb to do even a little fact checking? Are they so morally corrupt that they support what ruSSia is trying to do to another country? I don't understand them. But I do understand that we must continue to call out their disinformation, BS and lies.

  43.  @nocomment6421  "And im not pro ruZZian". Don't kid yourself. You're pushing ruZZian propaganda - that makes you pro-ruZZian. "Russia gained the offence" If by that you mean they're winning, tell us where? They are losing thousands of men per week, along with hundreds of pieces of military equipment - and they've gained less than 20 square km (of farmland). A fraction of what Ukraine liberated. "Ukrain didnt reached tokmak". True. Due to extensive mining they made a tactical decision to avoid the stupid loss of life the ruZZians are experiencing. "and ruZZa is so big they can replace everything in no time". Untrue. Why is ruZZia sending T-55 tanks to the front? Because they CAN'T replace T-72s and T-90Ms in "no time". Same with missiles. Same with artillery shells. Etc. Yes, you sure are pushing pro-ruZZian propaganda.

  44. If the US doesn't send more supplies then the ruzzians might do better. Let's hope Mike and his cronies come to their senses soon (but I'm not holding my breath).

  45.  @nerdyali4154  Yes, I think you are correct. It looks like the end of democracy in the US (and the end of support for other democracies) if the GOP wins this coming election.

  47. That's your opinion. Lets wait and see.

  48.  @eddiemarten3381  To be fair, these figures are Ukrainian generated, and as such tend to be optimistic. I would guess the real numbers are about 2/3rds of the published figures. None-the-less, the fascist ruzzians have taken heavy losses, and on the 340th day of their 3 day Stupid Military Operation they are looking very foolish.

  49.  @marksimpson4215  After three years of war 3151 civilians had died in Ukraine as a result of ruzzia's invasion. I have not yet found figures for military losses over that period. However over the first eight years of the war 3400 civilians had been killed as a direct result of the war, along with 4400 Ukrainian servicemen and 6500 ruzzian servicemen and their proxies in Donbas. Assuming the ruzzian forces were 50% Ukrainian, that would total 11,050 Ukrainian deaths and 3250 ruzzian deaths over the period 2014 - 2021 - mostly as a direct result of ruzzian interference and provocations in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Funny how Putin said in 2022 he was invading Ukraine to "protect ruZZian speakers and ethnic ruZZians" but has hugely accelerated the deaths of both.

  50.  @PNH-sf4jz  One flaw in your figures is that you maintain the "46.3% M/F 53.7%" ratio even after deducting refugees to other countries. Those refugees are predominantly women and children - which would alter the ratio considerably (albeit not enough).
