  1. I'm sure German forces said the same thing when they were close to taking Stalingrad. Don't underestimate a people's desire to retake their homelands.

  2. Thickest accent 'Slava Ukraine' I've heard so far. 😁😁

  3. Although the US constitution does not say it explicitly, it has traditionally been the President who decides on national defense. The people were not asked about the Iraq War, the Afghan War, the bombing of Libya, or Kosovo, or Vietnam, or Korea, or even US entry into WW2. The best American voters can do is vote for candidates who explicitly oppose supporting Ukraine.

  5. Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria. All three represent large populations, regions, religions. They should all be members.

  6. "Ukraine asked for closing the airspace". We've been over this many times already: A no-fly zone would require NATO aircraft to shoot down Russian aircraft and Russian anti-air systems. It would mean an immediate full-scale war between NATO and Russia.

  7. He's saying Ukrainians cover up the monuments to protect them from attacks. The monuments are not covered up by Russians.

  8. Problem is the five permanent members with veto rights are loath to give those rights away. They all understand it's not equal, but self-interest overrides principle (for all five of them). Expansion: I like it, but not everybody does. Giving India a permanent seat will not be approved by China, Giving Iran a permanent seat will not be approved by the three western members, but perhaps we can still make a compromise. My candidates are: Japan, Indonesia, India, Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Egypt, Nigeria, Germany, Brazil, Mexico. Everybody gets both a few friends and a few enemies, but at least these countries represent a huge number of people, religions, cultures, economies and regions.
