 @fotiostriantas4673 they said they did nothing wrong. That's called a lie

@andre60937 you can't be given certain freedoms if you can't be trusted with them. That principle exists in every democracy. That's the hard truth. Crying about double standards won't change that reality

This feels like an FSB inside job...

 @twisterbigmac anything that is in NATO's interest is in France's interest dummy

@medic145 so they are "former military", not active right? So what's your point?

He is wrong. Many of Europe's security interests are outside Europe itself, both ideologically and politically. The US doesn't 'dictate' anything to Europe. This is a juvenile interpretation of international relations

 @SHODUUP you should follow your own advice..

 @Dihorse371 that's why the comparison is dumb dummy. So desperate to defend Russia..

@donderstorm1845 China may be punching above its weight when it comes to innovation but its nowhere near what the West has to offer. Alot of the innovation in China is built off Western ideas and innovation. We are just not seeing this innovation in China reach the global civilian sector, which is what REAL innovation looks like in case you didn't know. The world is still very much driven by Western innovation, not Chinese. That in turn explains why Chinese have to travel to to Western academic institutions to enhance thier own capability, not the other way round. China still needs the West. I don't think if you are being honest you can say the same of the West.

@donderstorm1845 First off, I think it's fair to use the entire West v China as comparison cus of the difference in population and natural resources. China has always had an advantage in both. So let me just leave it at that. Now, China isn't the West's strategic rival because of innovation though. They are rivals for geographical reasons, one of the main being the huge disparity in population and resources between the two. China is and has been a cheaper market for production and a huge consumer base. They are economic competitors only. But they aren't competitors in the areas of science and technology so its not a surprise the Chinese have had to travel abroad to enhance these skills in these areas for decades. Of course this can all change no one is saying it can't or won't. Also what I said was China doesn't innovate on the global market. This isn't about me 'conveniently' deciding what innovation looks like. Historically, innovation has always has had applications in civilian sector and I'm sure China does this in its own domestic markets and sphere of influence (Asia Pacific region). But in the capitalist system, China's products obviously can't compete on the global market with European and North American products, especially those that require the most modern technological sophistication. This what I meant by real innovation. Sth a produced in a country of origin that generates demand globally bcus its sth entirely new never seen before. Highly industrialised nations in the West need these innovations for thier industries so the consumer base is very high. Unlike S. East Asia where more Chinese products may have more prevalence, the Chinese can get away with producing things of lower sophistication and quality cus these countries can't afford the most advanced technologies of high quality with very few exceptions. So im sorry if I touched a nerve. But we need to appreciate the reality of facts and with all due respect China/Chinese don't do this. You live in your own really of what is the truth. The unconvenient truth is that China does spend its time copying Western technologies and innovations and at best trying to improve on them in order to service its own domestic and regional market. What's more concerning is that the political apparatus in China is guilty of sponsoring this stealing and using it for nefarious reasons. There has been plenty of information out there on the subject for ten years now for God's sake, so this shouldn't be news to you. So I stand by what I said. Yes on some respects we 'need' each other in this new world. China is the cash cow for Western industries. But let's be real here. You need us alot more than we need you.

 @qili3899 no thats what this loser is hoping for. Thar the West stops supporting Ukraine so that they can finally boast about beating Ukraine

So now America in Ukraine is the problem? You guys are so ungrateful

@MetallicReg u trying to justify what Russia does by comparing it yo the US is kinda pathetic. The Russians can only assume it was acting as a hostile object in international airspace. Which means Russians entered neutral airspace to attack an American asset Keep playing games with America

@SamSung-dl8qn first off, hiw do you know the transponder was turned off? Second, neither the US or NATO myers recognise crimea as a restricted area. So they will fly as close as they can to it to monitor the Russians. Obviously

@ur-inannak9565 your soo right. Its all so innocent 🙄
1
@ur-inannak9565 that makes no sense. It's in the interest of his poeple to help Ukraine. How is it not? He's just throwing a fit cus him and every other conservative in Hungary are mad at the EU. Prioritizing a personal grievance is in the interests of his people?

OrcsMustDie bro i almost died laughing.. THIS is spot on!

 @medic145 o these are the examples of NATO "troops" in Ukraine? You're pathetic

@alexanderpepkin4110 probably because such a video can't be verified as true. Yet that doesn't stop pro Russian channels from making up this claim as if its true. Show evidence that its true or piss off and stop b*ching about not being heard. No one listens to liars
