  1. International law - where was that in Iraq, why are you supporting Israel ?

  3. What is there to investigate when you want to avoid the obvious cause - a Russian missile ?

  4. 'Historically the Russian society has been one of three repetitive stages: prepare for war, fight a war, recover from war, repeat. Russia has been subjected to invasion repeatedly by the west. So don't trvialise and demean a great country and its people.

  5.  @hangender  My comment is related to what Hodges said about international rules based order. I am discussing what is in the video. Those who invaded Iraq and support Israel have no right to comment on Russia. Get it, numskull ? What is your comment about ?

  6. Ukraine has fighting guts, they are basically from the Russian family. Nobody else in NATO can fight, least of all the Americans.

  7. Stick with the topic : a F16 crashed and it could not stop destruction of power grid in Ukraine. No point bringing 10 days old news about Ukraine is making advances in Kursk, as if it portrays Ukraine is winning. Now the Ukarinians cannot advance, and the Russians are killing their staging bases in Sumy. And the Russians are advancing on Prokvorsk.

  8.  @yanniskarageorgiou3573  NATO is not a defensive organisation just because you say so. NATO invaded Afghanistan and even Ukraine sent 5000 troops (Maybe Afghans should go to Ukraine and trash them). NATO is not a defensive organisation for Russia. It is a threatening organisation. Russia has every right to stop Ukraine from joining. Ukraine's independence was conditional on it not joining any military organisation to threaten Russia. Ukraine's independence declaration asserted Ukraine would be a neutral country. After the US instigated coup in 2014, Ukraine changed its constitution and put joining NATO as an aim. Ukraine was literally trying to make war. It is being a taught a lesson. Ukraine has squandered its independence, part of it will be taken back, the rest will be destroyed unless it accepts neutrality and keeps NATO at a distance.

  9. The Red Army did the same when the breached the German lands and entered Prussia. They went for Konigsberg, they faced resistance, so they put a siege and locked it up, and moved on to Berlin, and eventually came to get Konigsberg. They are doing the same in Mariupol.

  10.  @j96700  'energized so many countries to build their own military forces to counter Russia... ' Russia already has the ultimate counter - Sarmat hypersonic missiles. 32 European countries are not a match for Russia. Russia did not invade Ukraine for empire building. It gave Ukraine independence on condition it was neutral and did not enter into any military alliance targeting Russia. There is only one such in the area. Till 2014, Ukraine obeyed the agreement. After 2014, militant Russophobes and Nazis came to power with US aid, and they wanted to join NATO and US was pushing for NATO membership. Ukraine unilaterally broke the agreement given to Russia on independence. So Russia is taking corrective steps to defend its security. Russia has taken critical industrial and coastal land and is strangling Ukraine's economy. There is no way for Ukraine to join NATO now as Russia has made it clear to the Americans it is ready to fight a nuclear war. 20% of Ukraine is taken back, the remainder will destroyed. This is the price for following the US.

  12. "Those who desire peace must prepare for war." Russia took Plato's advice before you and decided to stop NATO expansion - successfully.

  13.  @Skateandcreate9  Really ? NATO ran away from Taliban last summer and did not have the guts to put a 'o fly zone'.

  14. Ukraine is not an independent country, it will do as the US commands. It fought on US command. If the US says, cede land and negotiate, Ukraine will obey.

  15.  @danfonzeMonkey  An attack on one is an attack on all. That the US could apply to Afghanistan because it is defenceless. It could take its collection of weak allies. But fighting Russia ? The US will run away first. (It ran away first from Kabul, so you can imagine if confronted with nuclear war what it will do). Its spineless allies will prostrate themselves in front of Russia if the US left. Kissinger had said the US would not fight a nuclear war with the USSR to save Germany or Europe. That will be the case now also : the US is not going to fight a nuclear war with Russia for Ukraine or Lithuania. That is self-evident in Biden's talk. When NATO was talking about a 'no fly zone', Putin warned NATO countries would face consequences they have not faced before. Biden quickly quelled the clamour for a 'no fly zone'. Before you spout from hearsay like a layman 'An attack on one is an attack on all; I advise you to read the fine print. According to the NATO website, Article 5 specifically lays out: "The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.' The action 'as deemed necessary' leaves it open to individual parties; the principal in NATO, the US, may decide it does not want to go to war. And the rest of NATO will back down. The statement 'including the use of armed force' is not the same as saying an attack on a NATO member 'will incur the use of armed force on the aggressor'. These things are worded by crafty Anglo Saxon lawyers and they leave an escape clause open for themselves - in this case, the US. The ones who don't understand English go with simplistic notions as 'An attack on one is an attack on all'. The US can demand that NATO allies go to Afghanistan and the 30 weak allies will oblige. The reverse is not always true - the 30 allies cannot ask the US to oblige them. Why should the US have all its cities obliterated for Ukraine or Lithuania ?

  17. Zelensky can at least shut up on this. He does not have to pronounce on every issue as if he is the leader of the EU and NATO.

  18. Like saying 'Russia winning is a failure'. The west is demented, they are not able to accept the reality.

  19. The Russian musicians are not there yet, but it is no surprise that the public is waving Russian flags. The Niger's public knows they have French and US puppets as rulers, who allow the exploitation of Niger'e resources. And a lot of the people believe the US itself created the terror network, to justify its own existence. Whereas in the countries like Mali where the Wagner came and the French were driven out, those terror networks have been stamped out ! Hence, Niger's public is signalling it wants Russia's help. There is nothing puzzling. As long as America and France are there, those terror networks will thrive.

  20.  @Liboch  Very good comment ! The EU wants to cut dependence on Russia, so when Russia does it for them, they howl it is blackmail ! Freezing bank accounts is not blackmail, that is defending the international order, the very epitome of being a reliable partner with the customer.

  21. The Dream Team is only a dream. It is losing to Russia. The purpose of dreams is wishful thinking.

  22.  @davidhenningson4782  I don't think Russia is or was planning an invasion of Europe for imperialism. But it will fight Europe and NATO if anyone threatens it. Ukraine was one such case. Russia had warned against US plans for NATO expansion to Ukraine in 2008. Merkel and Sarkozy had opposed NATO expansion to Ukraine as they said it will lead to war. But the US twisted their arms. Even before 24 Feb. 2022, Russia asked for a written security guarantee that Ukraine will be neutral and the US will not put missiles there targeting Russia. The US refused. Why ? The US wants to provoke, and the Europeans have neither the guts or intelligence to oppose the Americans. The US has led Ukraine and Europe to a disaster. Now the flash point where Russia could attack another part of Europe is Lithuania. Again, it is not driven by imperialism, it is driven by Lithuanian provocation and the attempt to cut off Kaliningrad. Again, Lithuania might have been driven by EU and NATO. Due to this provocation, I do expect an attack on Lithuania at an opportune moment. Europe is an a dicey situation because it is dependent on America, and America does not want close relations between Europe and Russia because it feels it would lose out.

  23.  @PlaYer-sn5or  Indeed, only US can fight Russia's 6000 nukes. But the US does not want to fight Russia precisely because of those 6000 nukes. If they thought for one moment they could win, they would have sent troops to Ukraine. Biden goes out of his way to say he is not looking to fight Russia. The rest of NATO is so scared and useless they talk as if Sweden and Finland are powerful assets who will change the equation against Russia.

  24.  @danfonzeMonkey  'Soon no more russia' Your assessment is based on what analysis ? Wishful thinking of the defeated.

  25. This comedian that the west adulates should realise that a no fly zone is not going to happen. The west cannot fight Russia. Putin has told the west anyone interfering will face consequences they have not seen in their lives. He does what he says and the west knows that. The west made a big mistake backing the comedian. He now controls them.

  26. NATO did not have the guts to impose a no fly zone because Putin said it will face consequences it has never faced. NATO ran away from Taliban. They are gutless, none of them wants to die.

  27. The Israeli principal says it should not be this way. He does not understand that he is an occupier, so that is how it will be. And the Israeli is selling kebabs (Muslim dish) to soldiers !

  28. A foolish hero, leading his people to disaster, while the people who brought him to power and propped him up and adulate him in the west will not come and lose their lives for him.

  29. Why is this lady so reverential about Petroshenko ? Ukraine has lost the war, and Trump knows it. Why does Petroshenko want to negotiate with Putin ? Zelensky was boasting about his victory plan. Russia is not going to agree to any of the 5 things Petroshenko asks for. The deluded loser is demanding that Russia surrender unconditionally ! If Ukraine does not cede land, and agree to neutrality, Russia will go ahead and complete the demolishment job. Ukraine and the west cannot stop it.

  31.  @CommonMind-q3v  How can Ukraine disobey US orders ? Earlier Zelensky passed a law saying Ukraine cannot negotiate as long as Putin was head of Russia. Now he expresses willingness to negotiate and even cede land (temporarily he says). The leadership is changing in the US and Zalensky has to bend accordingly. Puppets cannot have independent direction. Get it ?

  37. There is nothing wrong with Putin's mental state, I am more concerned about the west's mental state. The people of Ukraine are paying the price because the west unrealistically pumped up their American client Zelensky, but find they cannot go and fight for him. Putin is giving Ukraine a beating because its comedian wanted to join NATO and put US missiles in Ukraine, and he warned the west if they interfere, they will see consequences they have never seen. The west understands what that means, and they know Putin carries out what he says. So Biden has already said he is not going to impose a no fly zone. A no fly zone was possible when the west was an aggressor in Iraq, but against Russia it is impossible. Zelensky is the one who is delusional and the west has been very silly to build its foreign policy around placating him. Zelensky has mastered how to play on western emotions, and western politicians are running state policy on his emotions. They should tell Zelensky that he has to compromise and joining NATO is out of the question, and advise him to go for neutrality to save the Ukranian people from massacre. Any other advice would lead to Kiev being reduced to rubble and a lot of Ukranians killed. The more the west tries to prop up Zelensky, the more Ukraine will be destroyed.

  38. The obvious and inevitable happened. Ukraine got defeated because it acquired delusions based on the belief it had become western. Its 'partners' who were encouraging Ukraine to fight and were swearing to support it for 'as long as it takes' realise Russia cannot be defeated. The west ran out of arms and money; and Ukraine ran out of people. Sobre minds saw this long ago. But the supporters of Ukraine carried on out of false pride. Being defeated causes burning especially when you believe you are the most superior in the world. Now the US wants to cut its losses and leave. The vassals of the US are also going to do the same, albeit with pious promises of Ukraine's entry into EU and NATO at an undefined date. Boris Johnson, a singularly wicked former British PM, said in 2021, that Putin should not be allowed to win, as that would end the 'rules based international order' (look at his bloody cheek - the UK and US invaded Iraq based on false claims). In 2024, Johnson said in a video, if Putin wins, it will be 'end of western hegemony'. That was a candid admission of what the west is fighting for : 'rules based international order' = western hegemony. Since Russia has defeated the collective west, and the latter has to surrender Ukraine to Russian demands, following BoJo, we can say Russia has ended western hegemony. The rest of the world feels sorry for Ukraine's foolishness, but thanks Russia for ending western hegemony

  40.  @saucy05  If it is pilot fault, and it is their best pilot, then it goes to show the F16s will not make any difference. If it is mechanical, then all these are very old planes, there will be more of such crashes. If it is Russian missile, that is going to happen. The whole purpose of the investigation is to say it was not a Russian strike.

  41.  @underwaterlevelz1947  It may have been a Ukrainian missile. They are saying that. Equally it may have been a Russian missile. But they don't want to consider that. Why ? Because it will be another humiliation after claiming western weapons were superior.

  43. We keep fighting, and lose Ukraine little by little, we shall be left in rubble with no prospects of rebuilding, and women and children in exile. Our sovereignty ended due to our Russophobia and Nazi traits, and out willingness to be a proxy for someone else, who wants to use us, but is not prepared to die.

  44. NATO is unwilling to send troops as they will get killed. Those who are afraid of dying cannot win wars.

  46.  @patrickkelly6691  NATO is a collection of 30 weak European states manipulated by the US. Two more weaklings joining makes no difference - even citing it proudly as an achievement shows how pathetic Europeans are. Russia took on the US and its surrogates, Ukraine and the EU single handedly and has achieved what it wanted. The fact is Russia has prevented Ukraine from joining NATO and spoilt American plans to put its missiles in Ukraine. They have taken 20% of Ukraine and that 20% is worth more than 20%. It is from the key industrial and coastal areas. With that, they strangle Ukraine's economy, so the part that remains is dependent on EU aid and is subjected to air strikes. Ukraine will be annexed and absorbed back into Russia. Meanwhile, the EU's economy is strangled with energy cuts. Can Sweden and Finland change the above losing scenario ?

  47.  @Hagar934  If NATO had no plans to expand into Ukraine, why did NATO not give the security guarantee Russia asked for in Jan 2022 ? You are an ignorant and immature liar. Now, after the beating Ukraine got, and NATO's inability to stop it, you think NATO can expand to Ukraine ? The US now knows that Russia is ready to fight a nuclear war to prevent NATO presence in Ukraine. Educate yourself on the US plan for Ukraine.

  48.  @Don_ECHOguy  And he was right ! NATO thought he was bluffing, but when the blows came, NATO declared it will not send troops to Ukraine or put a no-fly zone. NATO was dead a year ago, and is even more dead now. Getting two more weaklings only makes NATO even more unwieldy.

  49. Russia should maybe let out the civilians from the Azov steel plant. But no way can they let go of the Azov Nazis. They do not want to surrender, then they should be liquidated. There is no third alternative.
