  1. It's a democracy. Unlike the dictatorship in Ukraine. And when does the UK elect their leader?

  2. Humanitarian aid won’t matter if everyone there is dead. The UN needs to stop trying to appease the isolated pariah, the US, and force them to go on record to pick a side of history.

  3. Also committing war crimes.

  4. We’ve had 20 years of awareness. What else is left to do? Seems like the Taliban are the only group that has anywhere near the ability to unify the country?

  5. @@user-gu1ct6km5y Does it matter if it's either?

  6. Gas flaring is routine in the industry. It can’t be stored, so the excess gas needs to be burned off.

  7.  @apocalypticweasel9078  it’s not costing Russia any fruit or labor. It’s just gas coming out of a hole in the ground.

  8.  @apocalypticweasel9078  it’s a resource that’s certainly being wasted, but it’s not an actual value until it’s sold. And the world is paying higher energy costs, so it’s a shame all around.

  11. So many juicier bits from the recording and you try the serve yo the most “humane” sounding slivers. How about the part where the German officers admit the Kerch bridge has zero military value?

  12. And I’m sure western NGOs are staying out of it?

  13. Russia is repelled forward. Ukraine is advancing backwards.

  14. Russia has been repelled forwards, and Ukraine is advancing backwards.

  16. The West said, “as long as it takes,” without specifying what “it” is.

  17. Mobilize another 100,000 men just to maintain current force strength? But isn’t Ukraine winning and killing so many Russians? So why would they need another mobilization of 500,000? And you say Ukrainians care about lives, but how is caring when you fight against nation with 5x your population and 7:1 military strength?

  18.  @zhangyiping100  it is now.

  19.  @zhangyiping100  no, it wasn’t.

  20.  @zhangyiping100  the US instigated the war by nudging the Kiev regime to assault the separatist republics and Russia was forced to step in to protect and annex them. Putin made many attempts to avert this, which the West disregarded.

  21.  @DeeSage  yes, the separatist republics felt the same way as the Kiev regime tried to do that to them. Thank god for Russia’s protection.

  22. Russia is cowardly retreating forwards!

  23. You are a big news organization. Why would you run with such a demonstrably unreliable source on this? What does YOUR investigation say?

  24.  @harmless6813  Russians are providing heavy support and have been using republic militias, Chechens, and mercenaries in the beginning. They haven’t even tapped their main national military yet.

  25.  @humanonearth1  what do you mean?
    1
  26.  @humanonearth1  what?
    1
  27.  @kevinwarburton2938  they have not mobilized their full military. That’s the point. Russia hasn’t even started fighting for real, whereas Ukraine is practically de-militarized.

  28.  @Coughinggonzalo  what? Russia isn’t a big nation?
    1
  29.  @rjbmarchiac8693  considering that Ukraine’s main army has largely been destroyed and that they’re already tapping their reserves and conscripts, Russia can do just fine?

  30.  @Coughinggonzalo  America lost Afghanistan too, so that’s not a good metric. And Russia is still in top 10 population rankings.

  31.  @Coughinggonzalo  an L is still an L.
    1
  32.  @rjbmarchiac8693  point is, Ukraine has already lost most of its best fighters and has mobilized its reserves. Russia has mostly been using republic militias, mercenaries, and expeditionary forces. They haven’t even fought for real yet.

  33. I hope Taiwan is observing what is happening to Western proxies.

  34. How about lifting the sanctions then?

  35.  @josephk7530  what did I say that’s incorrect?

  36.  @Marco90731  you’re confusing that with the poor Ukrainian men.

  37. You're not going to overthrow the government without some major State player cough USA cough funding and organizing a revolution. The public on their own are no match for the Venezuelan government.

  38.  @julieelcock8477  I was being sarcastic.

  39. Or, you know, just leave them alone?

  40. Nobody goes to a war under another banner to "save people." They go for money and opportunity to kill. Let's not sugar coat.

  41.  @oleksii000  yes they do.

  42. Same nonsense narrative. Russia with shovels and losing a million men a day, but NATO/AFU still can’t win.
    1
  43. Because, to the West, Ukrainians are only useful if they’re fighting Russians.

  44. The women and girls. You guys really want to go back into Afghanistan, huh?

  45. Russia targets military assets at night and Ukraine indiscriminately strikes civilians at the busiest time of day.

  46. Maybe they need to start using Russian washing machine parts?

  47. Illusion of benevolence. But what good is humanitarian aid if nobody is left alive?

  48.  @Rtg5637  even WW2 Germany couldn’t pull off their objective.

  49.  @Rtg5637  Israel is running behind then.

  50.  @glennmandigo6069  you mean the IDF? Remember the Flour Massacre.
