  1. The U.S. is starting to use the Russian playbook by 'liberating' its neigbours.
    2100
  2. As a Dutchman I'm so frustrated about how sloooooooooooow Europe response to external threats.
    1100
  3. As a neighbouring Dutchman I'm starting to wonder where the loyalty of some German politicians lie.

  4. It wasn't that long ago that Vance gave us European a lecture on free speech....🙄
    657
  5. Cancel those orders!!
    408
  6. And people still wonder why Turkey still isn't an EU member... Well this is one of them.
    369
  7. It's not a confrontation with Russia. It's defending Ukraine.
    326
  8. The US weapons were already in Europe all the time. Just waiting for the go ahead.
    308
  9. Naval blockade of Saint Petersburg.
    304
  10. Let's hope that Africa will finally profit from it's natural resources.
    284
  11. Well Russia said it wanted a buffer zone so Ukraine delivered.
    260
  12. Leave it to Trump to destroy what's left of America's reputation.
    232
  13. Well Americans, enjoy your inflation.
    229
  14. If the US cannot supply Ukraine than it can't supply weapons to European buyers. That means more urgency to move away from US made weapon systems.
    221
  15. For a Russian official to take the word 'ethical' in the mouth is hilarious.
    221
  16. What a leader Zelensky is! So different than those cowards of the far right.
    178
  17. That's why journalists can never be replaced by social media.
    177
  18. An attack on Lithuania will trigger article 5 and most likely end up in Russia losing Kaliningrad. Most people seem to forget how small the economy of Russia is. The sanctions are crippling and Russia is struggling in Ukraine. An attack on one of NATO's members would be suicidal.
    160
  19. See how the Russian prisoners were treated and how the Ukrainian? Just shows who is the most civilized. It's NOT Russia.
    160
  20. Let's make damned sure that money isn't spend on U.S. made weapons!
    158
  21. Give Ukraine long range (>500 km) missiles to hit military targets inside Russia.
    154
  22. They considered "Special Military Blunder" but after some meetings they decided to just call it a war.
    149
  23. Lithuania is not likely a next target. Moldova most likely is. It too is still not a NATO member probably because of a Russian created separatist-problem (a well known tactic of Putin in this region). It would be a logical next step for Russia if it succeeds in taking Odessa as well. So NATO should pay particular attention to Moldova in order to avoid this next war.

  24.  @semengiver4425  Except the didn't stay within theirs...
    140
  25. Yes, mr. Lavrov, the truth hurts. Keep on walking and don't let the door hit you on your way out.
    139
  26. Yes, a self inflicted existential crisis fueled by inflated ego and colonial imperialism.
    135
  27. Unfounded fear mongering.
    132
  28. Russian public: Hear no war, see no war, speak no war.
    123
  29. At least some French citizens woke up and voted wisely showing that the majority is NOT far-right.
    121
  30. Problem is that most countries that have Oil and gas are not the best when it comes to human rights. Not much to chose from. So the best thing to do is to spread energy suppliers so no one can cripple your economy on it's own like Russia did.
    117
  31. So why is it okay for Putin to attack Kyiv but it's not to give Ukraine the means to return the favor to Moscow? Talk about asymmetric war....
    111
  32. Indeed, there's absolutely no legal basis for invading Ukraine.
    97
  33. Putin demands.....😂😂😂😂😂
    95
  34. Europe and the US: We are still afraid of Russia. We should stop defeating ourselves!
    94
  35. The US just planted a knife in Europe's back.
    93
  36. If you want the EU to import US made than just make quality stuff, not garbage.
    92
  37. The American hypocrisy is eye watering.
    89
  38. Preghozhin walks away a free man and Navalny gets 30 years imprisonment..... Go figure.
    80
  39. I think my Dutch government should really consider to open the Groningen gas field that still is good for 450 billion m3. That will give us time to get through the coming winter.
    79
  40. Just shows the aggressive attitude of China.
    76
  41. @john deere Just move to China or Russia then.
    74
  42. What is a State of the Nation address without a threat to the west? Thanks Putin for convincing the people in the west that had their doubts about NATO to fully support the rearmament.
    74
  43. Any hotel harassing their clients will be out of business very quickly.
    71
  44. Shameless how this murderer is playing the victim.
    71
  45. As a Dutchman I'm not uncomfortable with a strong German Army. I'm aware of the cooperation between the Dutch and German military and I trust our neighbours more than those Americans in Washington.
    70
  46. The US is saying: The aggressor gets rewarded.
    70
  47. Crying Russian trolls are in force today.😂
    70
  48. We should have started the reduction of Russian energy back in 2015. But we were all blinded by that cheap Russian energy. Now we will have to make sacrifices to correct this.
    69
  49. There should be no debate as this is an existential threat to Europe. We should be all in.
    68
  50. Indeed. We should give Ukraine way more military aid. Ukraine should not only win but crush the Russian army.
