  1. If Ukraine is winning, not suffering casualties, and has high morale, then why are they having trouble recruiting?
    362
  2. I don’t think Russia expected they would demilitarize NATO too.
    308
  3. Those are some powerful Russian shovels.
    268
  4. So, if the best days of support are behind them, how can you expect Ukraine to perform any better in the future?
    250
  5. Strange how the same headlines aren’t used when Ukraine indiscriminately uses cluster munitions on civilians during the day?
    160
  6. Putin: I’m altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.
    134
  7. Imagine what they would have said of the same actions in WW2 ghettos?
    123
  8. But you’ve been telling us Ukraine is winning. What happened?!?!
    104
  9. But wasn’t Russia supposed to be out of missiles?
    101
  10. People didn't think a little thing called the "Internet" could scale or be affordable.

  11. @chrisviking7807 why? Since when was Ukraine such a good friend of yours?
    73
  12. If the Taliban is so bad, then why do these reporters seem so calm stuck in Afghanistan?
    67
  13. If anyone is brave and intellectually curious enough, they can read or listen to Putin and judge themselves. He is indeed a very smart man. Disrespect and underestimate him at your own peril.

  14. Noticed you cut away at 3:55 after she mic dropped you with the war in Iraq. And then again at 6:55 when she bodied you with Libya and Syria. You can interrogate her, but not handle it when it's dished back?
    54
  15. Russia claims? Well, you are a big news network, what do you say about it?
    53
  16. It’s not stuck. Russia is actively taking ground as we speak, such as Marinka. Avdiivka, a major fortress city, is encircled and about to fall, which you are intentionally being misleading about.
    52
  17. Several EU nations are hiding behind Hungary. Orban is providing cover and he’s not as alone as it looks.
    51
  18. Russian drones and missiles haven’t waned and Ukraine’s air defense hasn’t gotten stronger. Russia is merely using cheap drones to attrition Ukraine’s expensive air defenses.
    50
  19. Yup, poor Ukrainians.
    49
  20.  @MissAnastasiyaD  lol, did the West really learn?
    48
  21. The West is just praying for things to go tits up, so it can justify their occupation.
    45
  22. Along with the Ghost of Kiev.
    43
  23.  @JTMaster so how do you know they are in Ukraine? Heck, even Zelensky himself spends most of his time out of country.
    41
  24. Magnificent trophies, indeed. What other trinkets will NATO donate to Russian museums?
    36
  25. Russia is cowardly retreating forwards.
    34
  26.  @20quid he speaks reality. Zelensky’s official term expires on 5/20.
    32
  27. Maybe don’t do anything illegal in the country you’re in? By your logic, Canada is just as risky.
    31
  28. Then Russia will probably finally enter combat. They’ve essentially been using an expeditionary force this whole time, which seems to have decimated the Ukrainian military.
    30
  29. And the millions of tourists that visit Russia and came back fine. Whelan defrauded the US government, so you don’t think he was up to shady activity in Russia?
    28
  30. It is successfully gaining momentum backwards.
    26
  31. Hmm strange how Ukraine is still losing then? And is this declassified intel report public? Which agency compiled it?
    25
  32. If EU nations are so obsessed with sending Ukraine money, why don’t they just do so individually?
    24
  33.  @vrrdt342  Russia pulled back from Kyiv for the peace deal, until Boris Johnson ruined it.
    23
  34.  @cgdimension  no, once Western support diminishes enough and Ukraine has run out of soldiers, capitulation will be devastating for Ukraine. The fall can come hard and fast.
    23
  35. If we are keeping tabs, when will the US pay its share of world reparations?
    23
  36. Looks like NATO/Zelensky found their scapegoat for the summer offensive failure.
    22
  37. You can go to the frontlines. The AFU is recruiting.
    22
  38. Landlocked country with mountainous terrain, ancient tribal infighting, and world powers trying to conquer you every couple decades. Yeah, I’d say that stunts your growth.
    20
  39. Those are quite powerful shovels.
    20
  40. A brave leader unafraid to answer his people. Too bad there aren’t any such men in the West.
    19
  41. So…poke an attacking bear?
    18
  42. They should invite Russia and China to protect them from the French.
    16
  43. The Taliban were war orphans that fled to Pakistan border camps when the Soviets tried their hand at Afghanistan. These men grew up with nothing but hatred in their hearts. Enter the US.
    16
  44. Your first sentence is already incorrect. The ZPP is controlled in Russian territory. And the AFU has not even reached the 1st line of defense, so how can you say the defense is crumbling? What exactly does Russia have to gain from sabotaging their own dam and ZPP?
    16
  45. ISIS is a CIA creature.
    16
  46. There were Air Force officers in that Officer's Club, so to say there were no military targets is blatantly false. And taking over Ukraine was never Russia's stated objectives, so that's the West pitching their own goal posts. And how does he know morale is low in Russia? Did he go out to take surveys?
    15
  47. With what army?
    15
  48. Yup, Zelensky needs to be held accountable.
    15
  49. Where?
    15
  50. The irony of Poroshenko’s words of kids in cellars…
