  1. Ukraine and my nation UK lost many of its brave military standing by the US after 9/11 during the 20 year war on terror.. How about these supposed patriot magas returning the favour and supporting your allies. Dont even have to risk american lives in doing so in this case either. Being a patriot isnt just about loving your country. Its about loving what your country stands for.

  2.  @sugadagud3093  Democratic media dont use propaganda as there are opinions coming from all political viewpoints. Left, centre and right. So checks and balances. Putins/fascists media parrot one view only..

  3.  @calebh7902  Typical putin troll. Putin invades, zelensky defends and a troll blames the victim.

  4.  @fa0806  What nukes is that then? Have you ever thought that natos existence wouldnt even be necessary if putins russia became more civilised and friendly towards its neighbours.

  5.  @duncansmith7562  You do realise that russia actually has nukes on ukraines borders?

  6.  @duncansmith7562  Yep and in 1991, 92% in ukraine voted to leave it. All the oblasts/regions voting in favour, including crimea and the donbas. Then officially recognised as a sovereign state by the worlds nations including russia. Others in russia, including putin, never recognised that indeprndance referendum result. Hence the mess we have now.

  7.  @duncansmith7562  My point is if russia has a right to have a nuclear deterrent. Then why not ukraine? Because thats what it is. A deterrent. What right has one sovereign country have over another sovereign country to decide what it can and cannot use to protect its own people.

  8.  @RussTillling  The EU is also an institution of which many europeans are happy to live under. As it helps them to build up their own economies and through that their own democracies. Which is good for europe as a whole. I voted brexit as there is a democratic deficit with the the unelected EU commission but i still respect the european countries and their populations choice to remain involved in it. In fact putin is making the EU/NATO more relevent as europe needs to stand together against militant nationalism raising its ugly head in europe again after hitler and WW2. NATO/EU are both good ways to do that.

  12.  @williamshaw5388  Just 2% voted far right in ukraines last election with no mps elected. Far less than other western democracies. Zelenskys party is centrish and poroshenkos to the left. 147 countries showed no respect to putins russia at the UN vote condemning their illegal invasion. Only 4 showed respect. The very civilised well respected north korea, eritrea, iran and belorus. Your comment deserves no respect.

  13.  @sergeyb8  Russia is a nationalist country. He needed far right support to take on putin on the streets if his revolution was ever to happen. Plenty of his far right supporters got jailed earlier in putins "alleged" crackdown on nazi groups in russia. Nemtsov, before he was murdered, said navalny was still the best hope for change in russia. He was predominately pro democracy and peaceful change until he realised he needed violent street demonstrations to achieve it. Same as happened in maidan. As to whether he would be an improvement on putin? I think any politician would be at the moment.

  14.  @colt.4556  Thats the bog standard nationalist reply. Nationalism and selfishness are one and the same. Maybe some americans should recall the sacrifices made by their forefathers 80 years ago in defeating imperial fascism the last time it raised its ugly head in europe and the world. 50 million died worldwide last time.

  15.  @izevbizuatrustine611  The rest of the world voted to condemn russias invasion at the UN. Only 4 countries supported russia. Belorus, syria, north korea and eritrea.

  16. Smoke your own extreme far right cold hearted selfish nationalist copium. Less than 2% voted far right in ukraines last election. Far less than other democratic countries. Try using truth in your username.

  17.  @Prof.Pwnalot  You dont have to be a former pm to be leader of nato. A former uk labour government departmental minister george robertson was once a leader of NATO. He was the guy who putin asked personally if russia could join nato. When he replied that russia would have to pass all the usual criteria about being free and democratic etc putin ended the conversation by saying that russia was far to big and powerful to have to comply with such trivia. Or something along those lines.

  21.  @willtellall638  Just 2% voted far right in ukraines last election with no mps elected. Far less than other democratic countries. Zelenskys party is centrish and poroshenkos to the left. The independant azov has been long de politicised and incorperated into the ukranian army. Its ex nazi leader stood in those elections and got nowhere. The 3 (of the 13) points in the 2014 minsk peace agreement putin refused to recognise. 4. To start a dialogue on interim self-government for the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, in accordance with Ukrainian law, and acknowledge their special status by parliamentary resolution. 9. Restoration of full control of the state border by the government of Ukraine. 10. Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries. Plus the biggest peace deal game breaker of course......invading the very nation the peace deasl was with, and with it a UN recognised sovereign nation.

  22.  @sarahjenkins7064  Iraq was the "war on terror". Was not nato. Afghanistan was nato but had a UN mandate. It was also part of the "war on terror" which the west has now won. As no major terror attacks on the west since, fingers crossed. Both iraq and afghan could be seen as defensive actions as the islamic fundamentalists declared a war on the west and its civilian populations. National security and all that.

  23.  @saigon68foxtrot83  Yep and guess what. Nato got its nukes pointing at moscow too.

  24. Supports ukraine and americas allies abroad and in NATO. Supports the ideology of democracy at home and abroad. Opposes far right nationalism and authoritariasm at home and abroad. Im not american and even i can come up with that. As her opponent apparently wants the opposite then, even as a conservative voter in the uk, i would still fully endorse her over the alternative. Which is no way traditional conservative.

  28. Its also about having a comfy lifestyle and not wanting to denigrate it. So thats why these sanctions have to stay on until there is some form of meaningful change in russia. Needs to more cultural and sporting sanctions too. Tough for the russian people but undescibably worse for the ukranians.

  30. The majority of people are in the centre politically. So they want some capitalism as well as some social justice to go with it. Its human nature for people to want to improve their lot in life for themselves and their loved ones. Thats capitalism. You need to remember it too if you actually want the power to enact the social justice bit. Effective politics is all about compromising.

  32.  @alexturayev3402  That was the 20 year"war on terror" after sunni islamic fundamentalist terror groups declared a terror war on western civilisation after 9/11. Al queda were in all those sunni led countries even morphing into isis/isil in iraq. Obama said it would take 20 years to win it and now 20 odd years later with o major terror attacks on the west since leaving afghanistan that war has finally been won. Putin also did the same thing to the chechnyan rebels after beslan and other terror attaqcks on his civilian population. Tho far more brutally. Its called national security or the protection of your citizens. However the western allies did have a legitimate reason for invading iraq and did not stay or annex territory. Which putin is doing to a sovereign UN recognised state. As well as invading for obvious made up reasons. So as to legitimise the real reason which is to recreate a lost soviet/russian empire again.

  33.  @Jarhead1968  So what. The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy where executive power is delegated by legislation and social conventions to a unitary parliamentary democracy. I dont see how one word can describe whether a nation is a democracy or not. There are loads of different democracies formed from different historical perspectives. The important thing is that the majority should always rule. As thats where the moderates and civilised always live. Otherwise you will always have the extremes, from the far right, or the far left ruling. And then maybe even becoming unaccountable to the people.

  38.  @lf3361  What do you think ukraine has been doing these past couple of years. Those are ukranian dead, both civilian and military, that are keeping your military and mine at home safe. Funny then that the ukranian and my nations military uk stood in solidarity and fought and died alongside yours as part of the iraq coalition after 9/11. Plus all the other allies who joined in during the 20 year war on terror after. How about showing some of that solidarity back. You dont even have to send your troops to die, like we did, to do so this time.

  41.  @brokentv1855  Nah its literally more than 30 countries providing military assistance to ukraine. Many more with financial aid. I just googled it. BBC. Both on wikipedia with maps showing. Military is basically the west for a third. Financial is the west plus another third. The remaining third are the poorer countries. and russia itself which takes up half a continent itself, and still wants more unbelievably.

  46. They are nationalists tho. And one thing nationalists would never do is destroy their own motherland. Plus putin has family too. God help them.

  47. Its not historic ties that bind india and russia its india becoming as nationalist as russia under modi. The next logical step for modi, if he follows the putin method, is to change the constitution to become leader/dictator for life. His propaganda channels on YT are witness already to the same anti western/anti democratic/ pro russia narrative as RT etc.. Orban loves putin. Modi loves putin. Carlson loves putin. MTG loves putin. Nationalists just love fellow nationalists. Even imperialistic militant ones like putin.

  48. Missed out modi and orban.
