  1. Considering what the operation in Afghanistan cost, this 60 billion is peanuts.

  2. hey Russia wanted a multi polar world. 😏

  3. Veto in what ? We know that Russia has broken many agreements so let Kazakhstan break this one.

  4. A gas pipeline from Qatar through recently liberated Syria to Europe could supply Europe with cheaper gas than Argentina can with LNG.

  5. An other question would be: Will China sacrifice it's economy by losing it's biggest customer, the West, over a relatively small island?

  6.  @jerrellholder8382  GDP in 2023 was almost three times that in 2000....

  7. @abrakadabra2192  It will also take years for Argentina to build up the necessary infrastructure.

  8. @RUTHLESSambition5  Well why not give it a try and see how it goes. This three day excursion into Ukraine is now nearing three years. 😂

  9. @Arsecht 2 trillion or 300 million per day mate.

  11. If Ukraine falls, Taiwan falls.

  12.  @philippeflores6672  well the U.S. has obviously already fallen to Russia.

  13.  @DanSopranos  Open and fair with foreign observers.

  14. This is what ADHD does to a video. Me thinking that I'd set the play speed high...

  15. And the Russians are playing the German part here....

  16. It's no issue. The economy of the west dwarfs that of Russia. So guess who is going to win.

  17.  @RUTHLESSambition5  Do you realize that Ukraine together with NATO will not allow this. 😂😂

  18. @GabrielGarcia-qz8fu  Current gas is from Norway (pipeline), Qatar (LNG) and US (LNG).

  19.  @misiknuo  This is a just cause that cost the US far less than that futile effort of trying to turn Afghanistan into a democracy. With only a fraction of its military spending it annihilates the Russian army and prevents a future war in which US soldiers have to be deployed. It's the smart thing to do and I'm confident that it will after it has tried every other way to ignore the problem.

  20.  @Jasonth131  Could you rewrite that again, Vlad?

  21. As a European Australia and Canada popped into my mind. Bye, Bye Russia!

  22.  @monkofdarktimes  To the last Russian fascist.

  23.  @ОуОу-в4й  Indeed all states where Russia is interfering has invaded or is planning to.

  24.  @PlaYer-sn5or  Good luck with that.

  25. As Russia becomes a bigger threat to Europe if it takes Ukraine, they only way to keep Europe secure is to make sure Ukraine wins this war and Russia is weakened enough. So gear up the war industry and strap in.

  26.  @pepperonish  Don't you think it's a little immoral to invade Ukraine in the first place? It's Russia that has put us and Ukraine in this situation. Now we can't help Ukraine directly because Russia is threatening with nukes and WW3 so this is the best thing. Ukraine now has the ability to defend itself and the test of Europe at the same time. Putin only had to withdraw his thugs and thus whole thing ends. So isn't it s bit immoral if him to continue this senseless war?

  27.  @mischa1880  That's the beauty. There's no need. Ukrainians are fare beter and way beter than any Russian soldier. We are training them to become a NATO army. We all know that they are fighting Russia so that we can be safe as well.

  28. Well if Putin really wants to take on NATO, he just has to push that button. I'm getting sick of this Kremlin gnome.

  29. You mean Russian propagandists? Sure those are really 'independent' 'experts'....

  31.  @pop401k  Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they were not fair. I'm sure you have some extraordinary evidence to backup your outlandish claim? The insurrection/coup attempt from the MAGA side however was treason.

  32.  @DanSopranos  Who told you otherwise?

  33.  @DanSopranos  Elections in the US are legit until proven otherwise. You are claiming they aren't to the burden of evidence lies with you.

  34.  @tomo1168  One to two years sounds short to me. Especially considering that Putin has to continu this war in order to stay in power.

  35. No gas? Neh. Wait, out of beer? AAAhhhh!

  36.  @jonhjackson7224  The pipeline will make Turkey less dependent on Russian gas. I think They would like that.

  37.  @misiknuo  If the west commits to Ukraine it will be over soon. Even the economy of the UK outperforms Russia by a factor of 3. I also would remind you that the GDP of the US has rissen threefold since 2000.

  38.  @اسكندرفكار  Australia has the largest deposits of uranium in the world. Russia could become a loser on the nuclear market if we want.

  39. "unexpected resistance". Great euphemism for getting slaughtered.

  40. By the time the F-16's enters the battlefield Russia might already be defeated.

  41.  @PlaYer-sn5or  Yes, it takes two to tango. So let's not rock the boat. China's economy is not immune to recession and that giant debt bomb can easily rupture like an aneurysm. More and more western compsnies are reshoring their business as China destroys itself with its zero-Covid policy. So, is China willing to sacrifice everything over an island?
    1
  42.  @PlaYer-sn5or  China's economy is in deep shit and the government knows it. Starting a war is the perfect diversion on which the Chinese government can blame its own incompetence. The US economy is just facing the effects of the recession everybody is experiencing and Europe's economy is strong enough to take a hit.

  43.  @jt7725  That would mean no more Russia as that would take less than 500 nukes. But we all know that Russia will not use nukes. They are already struggling.

  44.  @jt7725  You only need to take cut it's capacity to fight. It's called strategy.

  45.  @pepperonish  Those are Russian soldiers or mercenaries. Occupational hazard. We are already turning Ukraine in a NATO army so I think that Ukraine can succeed.

  46.  @pepperonish  That's another 'red line' we will cross this year.

  47.  @rafomic4210  Well Russia can't get Donbass nor Crimea. It's time for everyone to live within its borders. NATO never was a threat to Russia. It never attacked it nor will it start a war with it. Putin likes an enemy to boost his popularity. Trade of a dictator.

  48.  @rafomic4210  It's time to draw a line in the sand. And that line is the international recognized borders of Ukraine.

  49.  @ldshasnobrain  Europe has never threatened Russia. Russia on the other hand is constantly threatening and also displaying aggression: Chechnya, Georgia, Moldova and now Ukraine. Stop lying when the truth is so obviously for everyone to see.

  50.  @billjane5522  News flash! The whole world is in a recession and Russia at least double that. Putler already overplayed his hand with the energy vard. There is now going back now so he better burn off all that gas before he has to shut down his wells. Listen you better accept that we won't give up so Putin better pull his troops out of Ukraine so he can enjoy the few years that he has left.
