  1. The Estonian Prime Minister dismantled the "peace" argument eloquently & with ease.

  4. British journalists have a different approach to interviews. I'm familiar with both the US style & UK style & frankly I prefer the latter. Sackur is a very good interviewer.

  5.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  the British style of adversarial interviewing is not new. This is how they've always done it.

  7. ​​​@@user-df2sw4gd5hhe should not have been honored in Parliament. That was a big-time screw up. But people in the audience cannot be blamed. Some are saying anyone who fought against the Soviets was a German collaborator & that the audience should have known this & not applauded. Utter nonsense. Ukrainian Insurgent Army The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainian: Українська повстанська армія, УПА, romanized: Ukrayins'ka Povstans'ka Armiia, abbreviated UPA) was a Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary and partisan formation founded by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists on October 14, 1942.[1] During World War II, it was engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Soviet Union, the Polish Underground State, Communist Poland, and Nazi Germany.[2] ⬅️ OUN's goal was to drive out occupying powers and set up an independent government, it would be achieved by a national revolution led by a leader with dictatorial power; OUN accepted violence as a political tool against enemies of their cause.[3] In order to achieve this goal, a number of partisan units were formed, merged into a single structure in the form of the UPA, which was created on 14 October 1942. From February 1943, the organization fought against the Germans in Volhynia and Polesia.[4] At the same time, its forces fought an evenly matched war against the Polish resistance,[5] during which the UPA carried out an ethnic cleansing of the Polish population of Volhynia and eastern Galicia, resulting in between 50,000 and 100,000 deaths.[6][7][8][9] From late spring 1944, the UPA and OUN-B – faced with Soviet advances – cooperated with German forces against the Soviets and Poles in the hope of creating an independent Ukrainian state.[10] After the Germans were pushed out, Soviet NKVD units fought against the UPA, which led armed resistance against Soviets until 1949. On the territory of communist Poland, the UPA tried to prevent the forced deportation of Ukrainians from western Galicia to the Soviet Union until 1947.[5]

  8. Alaska is safe. We have a great sentry on the border: Sarah Palin can see Russia from her front porch.😉

  9.  @jordanthomas8359  the post below yours explains that style of interview.

  10. Their Alaska claims are hot air designed to rile us up. Not even their most ardent nationalist will seriously think it's even remotely possible.

  11. The questions he asks are intended to cover all aspects of a subject. Sackur is a veteran journalist & his questions are on point. It is precisely because he asked that question she was able to offer such a powerful rebuttal.

  12.

  13.  @cjb8010 @evelyncraig6243 in the post above backs up my opinion. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I'll leave it at that.

  14. ​ @larryo6874 but to play devil's advocate, another explanation is that he's alive but they're intentionally being ambiguous to keep Ukraine off balance. Remember the Ukrainians did something similar for a while when there were rumors swirling of Zaluzhnyi being killed.
