  1.  @valeriegillet473  that is some nice cope you have there.
    26
  2. Of course, because they still want the same outcome.
    22
  3. Yah the weapon the Taliban got aren’t advanced. Mostly M16s, a 50 year old rifle design, and some APCs and helicopters. And Ukraine isn’t Afghanistan
    21
  4.  @endermarine1686 abandoning our Allies would be the absolute dumbest move the US could make.
    18
  5. They don’t have the capability for that.
    18
  6.  @joemosely9383 Saudi Arabia is the main one.
    12
  7. Yah I’m sure the people killed in those wars will make it too.
    12
  8. Tbf Ukraine didn’t just sit by either. It’s not like they could directly take on Russia, especially with how shit their military was in 2014. So instead they spent those 8 years building up their army into the far more formidable force it is today.
    9
  9. You can’t be serious.
    9
  10.  @hostedbysimples5416  not to mention that anything Russia gains from this war will not make up for what they have already lost. The Central Russian bank has already said that the Russian economy will never truly recover from the sanctions.
    9
  11.  @goranstojanov1160  not in large numbers. Also work on your English buddy.
    8
  12. Britannia isn’t the one invading Ukraine here.
    8
  13. No, not even close. Ukraine is running out of shells for their Soviet artillery and the West doesn’t have any to give them. However Western artillery all uses the same 155mm ammunition, which the west does have great supplies of. So no, you’re wrong.
    8
  14. Both were humiliating.
    7
  15.  @AbuHajarAlBugatti  I’m not speaking his language, and neither is he. And upvoting your own comment is pretty pathetic dude.
    7
  16. Yah that’s not how this war is working out, for either side. This isn’t WW2.
    7
  17.  @captainweekend5276 aid to Ukraine is beginning to drop dude. Increasingly more and more westerners are opposed to send more aid. The video may be overly pessimistic but you guys are being way overly optimistic.
    6
  18. People who don’t drink Kremlin Koolaid
    6
  19.  @endermarine1686  no we are not lucky, because we should care. People just choose not to.
    5
  20.  @mrsupremegascon buddy you’re the one that’s wrong on every point here. Your comment is not based on reliant.
    5
  21.  @Izanagi057  cope
    5
  22. And isolationism wills too that how?
    5
  23. Colonialism only ended in Africa around 50-60 years ago.
    5
  24. Lol no
    5
  25.  @rory6984 mutual respect doesn’t exist in geopolitics. China certainly doesn’t respect America or their neighbors in east Asia.
    5
  26. Not necessity. America is friends with Japan and Germany, who are numbers three and four economically.
    5
  27. Except that’s not what the U.S. is doing, at all.
    4
  28. No. Supporting Ukraine is the only moral position.
    4
  29. NATO isn’t the one cutting pows heads off. That’s Russia.
    4
  30. Only propaganda here I see is the Russian propaganda in your comment.
    4
  31. Russia has been disappearing people in the occupied regions for a while now.
    4
  32.  @Furri1bia ah the “no you are” argument. What are you five years old?
    4
  33. Unlike the Taliban and Al-Qaeda the Ukrainians aren’t blowing themselves up to kill a bunch of civilians and instill fear and hatred.
    4
  34. It’s just a standard Mercator projection. There’s no such thing as an accurate map. You can’t project the surface of a sphere onto a 2d rectangle and not get distortions. Grow up.
    4
  35. Many on the right are calling for the US to withdraw form the alliance. And the Russians are more than capable of rearming themselves and recovering from the war, more so if they defeat Ukraine. They’re already pumping up their war production.
    4
  36. Ever think that they’re arming way more than just hundreds of thousands of people? Nah, I bet you don’t ever think.
    4
  37.  @KaiserOfAryas  no
    4
  38. No
    3
  39.  @iam5085  they keep making pledges but the supplies are less forthwith.
    3
  40.  @querch1066  sounds like the adoption of more public transpiration is in order.
    3
  41. Why you commies so blood thirsty?
    3
  42. His source is that he made it the fuck up.
    3
  43. RT isn’t a good source of information.
    3
  44. They have regained the initiative yes, due in large part to western inaction.
    3
  45. Raising wages? Sounds like socialism to me.
    3
  46. Are you mentally challenged? Ukraine isn’t in nato, and there was no coup in 2014.
    3
  47. Russia has no right to control what Ukraine does and does not do when it comes to which international organizations it can join.
    3
  48.  @ceroluselazurin6842  whataboutism. Doesn’t make the Russian invasion justified.
    3
  49. The EU is so disjointed as to be written off as anything other than a political power. India has potential, but it remains to be seen if they actually fulfill it or not.
    3
  50.  @joemosely9383  oil. Sam reason we prop up a number of questionable states in the Middle East.
    3
  51.  @nevyanplamenov5409  until the barbarians started to conqueror the empire. Then they cared.
    2
  52. Well they’re giving these conscripts AKMs, not even AK74’s, that have been absolutely rusted through.
    2
  53. Lol
    2
  54. No they’re not. But the Russian war in Ukraine is causing millions of Africans to starve.
    2
  55. The sources he’s quoting are the independent non biased sources. Otherwise, tell us what is wrong with the video?
    2
  56. Such as?
    2
  57. Buddy the Russians are the warmongers.
    2
  58. Cringe
    2
  59. Yah Ukraine shows that’s false.
    2
  60. The one child policy did have a massive impact on Chinese demographics. It’s why the nation has such a skewed gender ratio.
    2
  61. No
    2
  62. They’ll only lose of the west let’s them.
    2
  63. Kursk is hardly “obscure” Russian territory dim wit.
    2
  64. Capture Odesa how?
    2
  65. That’s not how the world works.
    2
  66. Form the Ukrainian government. Take any claims of casualties with a grain of salt. No one is realistically going to know.
    2
  67.  @isaacbingham7241  Yah. The Ukrainians are going to want to jack up the numbers of Russians killed while the Russians are going to downplay them and vice versa. I will say the Ukrainians have been holding their ground significantly well again the Russians.
    2
  68. Russia is giving its conscripted rusted out AKs.
    2
  69. The Russians seemed to think they could take the city with that many.
    2
  70.  @Notimportant3737  no
    2
  71. Evidently many in the Russian government thought it was stupid too.
    2
  72. Ukrainian soldiers are in the cities because the Russians are attacking them. This is what war is like. Doesn't justify Russian actions.
    2
  73. Are you deluded or something?
    2
  74. The Russians bravely ran away in the face a of a cowardly overwhelming Ukrainian offensive, kindly leaving behind all of their weapons and equipment in a sign of humanitarian good will.
    2
  75. The Ukrainians just repelled the Russians from Soledad. Bakhmut has been about to be surrounded for months now. The Russians are losing.
    2
  76. The Western economy is far larger than Russia's.
    2
  77. lol ok
    2
  78. Do you feel the same way about China?
    2
  79. No, because then what’s stopping my nation from taking over some of your nations land?
    2
  80.  @msmajmia7896 that’s a load of bullshit.
    2
  81. That’s not an excuse for American isolationism.
    2
  82. The cost of Russia allowing one man to rule its entire government.
    2
  83.  @balintlakatos7533  yes you are very naive.
    2
  84.  @ChadSimplicio  except BRICS doesn’t want to adopt the Yuan.
    2
  85.  @charlesk2270  no, that’s a myth
    2
  86. No
    2
  87.  @kylerusso3237  no
    2
  88. A lot of Ukrainians are native Russian speakers, like the president Zelensky, and Russian is a language of daily life in much of the country. That they speak Russian doesn't make them any less Ukrainian or their language that of the oppressors.
    2
  89.  @dknight25  then how about the fact that Lyman was only a Russian city for less than 24 hours?
    2
  90.  @veldrensavoth7119  then you should recognize that both Russia and China are capitalist states
    2
  91. Those 600k troops are poorly trained and under equipped. Most of Russians heavy equipment is either already being used in Ukraine, is rusted to ruin, or is a shouldering wreck.
    2
  92.  @tuvcek  says the ruskis, who have repeatedly lied.
    2
  93.  @tuvcek  I don’t watch any mainstream media actually. And let’s see your link.
    2
  94.  @tuvcek  yah that only states that 100k Ukrainian service men died, not two hundred k. Which is on par with the 100k Russians who have died.
    2
  95. NATO isn't the one that decided to have over a hundred thousand troops role into Ukraine.
    2
  96.  @Shimulahmed100  nope
    2
  97. What
    2
  98. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day.
    2
  99. Yah something tells me that’s not gonna happen.
    2
  100. Bakhmut has been about to fall for months now according to the Russians.
    2
  101. Another good one is Perun.
    2
  102. Russia is very much a threat to us. The oceans haven’t protected us in a long time. All it takes for the cleans to no longer be that protective wall is for us to turn away from the world and for Russia or China to build up a proper navy with the capabilities that the modern USN has. And that’s ignoring space born weapons, cyber attacks, terrorism, and ICBMs. America gains literally nothing by letting Russia expand its empire, and stands to lose everything.
    2
  103. Maybe he’ll get me a pony. No, a unicorn!
    2
  104. Nope
    2
  105. The US and EU at least pretend to care about them. China doesn’t even do that. And yah compared to China and Russia America and the west are the good guys.
    2
  106. No, they most likely did it because their troops are undisciplined. Same thing with the rapes and looting. I doubt that any of the higher ups ordered it to be down but the rhetoric coming from Russian propaganda and the fact that the Russian military can’t control its own troops likely lead to the forces in Kyiv raping and killing civilians by the hundreds like it’s the Middle Ages.
    2
  107.  @chiritaalex  yes there’s independent investigations going on. As for veto I don’t know but I don’t see why anyone would.
    2
  108. Revisionism isn’t an excuse to just make shit up.
    2
  109. I’m getting a degree in history. If I ever get a job as a history teacher this is certainly going to be something I’d show my students.
    2
  110. What a load of bullshit.
    2
  111.  @xMoac  I’m aware of him. It’s still a massive fucking load of bullshit. If Russia didn’t intend to take all of Ukraine they wouldn’t have aligned the massive multi front offensive that they did; with the key targets being the capital. The lack of troops was because they didn’t expect the Ukrainians to fight back, nor that they didn’t want the whole country. To say other wise is Russian propaganda and pure copium.
    2
  112. Yah there is no evidence for that.
    2
  113.  @GBOtech-ukraine  sure thing buddy
    2
  114. So we should trust the Russians?
    2
  115. How?
    2
  116. Maybe if the other republics that are near them also seceded.
    2
  117. Maybe the third world should take that up with Russia and ask them why they attacked Ukraine, stopping food exports.
    2
  118. Alright fine. I say we divide Hungary between the Austrians and the Turks then, after all it’s the former territory of those two empires.
    2
  119. No it’s the same one.
    2
  120. Russia is certainly losing as of right now.
    2
  121. Russia attacking Ukraine made zero sense. Governments, especially dictatorships are made up of people who don’t necessarily follow what is sensible.
    2
  122. Thousands of people are dying dude. That’s bad.
    2
  123.  @sector986 he’s a Russian propagandist
    2
  124. Bullshit
    2
  125. Japan is rearming, they are not growing however. The demographic situation is only getting worse.
    2
  126. 300k is only the first wave.
    2
  127. Because Donbas is a part of Ukraine in rebellion, which Russia illegally invaded Ukraine.
    2
  128. That’s not how it works. China can only do bad at the expense of the Americans power.
    2
  129. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but Russians are white.
    2
  130.  @walkingcarpet420 lol
    2
  131.  @hyhhy isolationists are choosing dishonor by not trying to nip our enemies expansionism in the bud.
    2
  132. Says the guy with a fallout pfp.
    2
  133. No
    2
  134. Doesn’t give Hungary a right to lands that don’t even have a Hungarian population. You cry of Hungarians becoming foreigners in the lands they lived in but what about the Romanians who would become foreigners in their lands of Hungary annexed Transylvania? By your logic we should give Hungary back to the rule of the Turks.
    2
  135. Russia can’t send all of their troops to Ukraine.
    2
  136.  @Sippi81  Russia can’t win either. They can win battles but they can’t hold the country.
    2
  137. Thing is they haven’t won the war, and their position degrades every day. They cant confine to artificially prop up their economy and the ruble forever. Counter sanctions, particularly energy, in the EU would harm the Russians just as much as it would harm the Europeans. The Russians have made no significant gains in two months now, and the Ukrainians have effectively expelled them from Kharkiv. Ukraine has an extensive land border with NATO, and over that border significant amounts if NATO aid is pouring in, while the Ukrainians have already destroyed a significant portion of the Russian invasion force, which is most of their professional forces mind you. Russia isnt out of the fight but its not winning, and Ukraine is only getting stronger.
    2
  138. Except it doesn’t. Both Kherson and Kharkiv were combined arms operations.
    2
  139.  @attilakopenetz9782  what is that even supposed to mean? Regardless you’re criticizing him for his English even though it’s better than yours, or at least what you’ve typed in your comment. He has an accent, you have multiple grammar mistakes.
    2
  140. Ever heard of Taiwan and Korea?
    2
  141.  @NisuUuno  no they do not. On top of the US has ground forces already in South Korea, and is under treaty obligation to come to South Koreas defense. Do you even know what you’re talking about? Because it sure seems like you don’t.
    2
  142.  @chiemxerxobi  it’s pointing out how @we will all make it” isn’t true. Thousands of people are dead because of these wars. They didn’t make it.
    2
  143. The West is China’s markets. Without the west they go under.
    2
  144.  @MrAntonBaton yah the west isn’t bankrupt, they just don’t devote their entire economy to military production at the expense of being able to feed their own people.
    1
  145. Immediately.
    1
  146. @ except they aren’t. No trade war is going to make American goods less expensive, which means that Chinese goods will always be cheaper. They’ll just be less cheap. Tariffs aren’t going to bring industry and jobs back to the U.S. dude. China doesn’t pay tariffs, we do.
    1
  147.  @levilivengood4522  no one is say to join the war. But if we allow Russia to expand unopposed like we did with Hitler that’s a sure fire way to get war.
    1
  148.  @张凡-o6j  which is why China keeps encroaching on the territorial waters of their neighbors, which is pushing all of their neighbors into the arms of the big bad Americans.
    1
  149. No
    1
  150.  @1GTX1  the Russians are going to lose a lot o men taking the cities. And the harder they strike the more the Ukrainians will hate them. The anger won’t be towards the Ukrainian government, it’ll be against the Russians. Insurgents are already forming in Russian occupied areas. Russia can’t hold Ukraine.
    1
  151.  @1GTX1  thing is they can’t do that now or ever
    1
  152. ⁠ @JamesSmith-ix5jd nah, the demons in the Kremlin, your masters.
    1
  153.  @yedrellow some one gets it
    1
  154. How about you get an actual argument instead if just repeating Kremlin propaganda.
    1
  155. Sure thing buddy
    1
  156. Nad yet if we want to keep relevance we need to be self reliant in key industries.
    1
  157.  @imrekalman9044  lol no
    1
  158. This is a joke right? Western Europe has sold out Eastern Europe multiple fucking times.
    1
  159. No
    1
  160.  @dosa2990  No, by opposing a genocidal dictator who has threatened the world with nuclear hellfire if they try and stop his illegal invasion while unleashing his unwashed and undisciplined hordes of soldiers to rape, pillage, and murder civilians. You're either a useful idiot or a psychopath if you support Russia.
    1
  161. No they don’t.
    1
  162.  @golagiswatchingyou2966 just how dumb do you have to be to believe that bullshit?
    1
  163. Vietnam is a US ally.
    1
  164. Eh not really. The arguments for not getting involved with Ukraine are mainly that it’s a poor eastern European nation that supposedly provides nothing for us.
    1
  165.  @todo9633  you think isolationists give a shit? They want the US to withdraw from NATO.
    1
  166. I get that English isn’t your first language but you still need to work on it.
    1
  167.  @MrFefefofo  that’s not at all what I’m saying. I’m saying your comment is illegible. There’s multiple serious grammar and spelling mistakes.
    1
  168. Republicans are so good at war they dragged us into two separate forever wars in the Middle East which soaked up literal trillions of dollars for no reason, and now that the US has the chance the cripple one of its main rivals for literal pennies on the dollar. they’re getting cold feet. And the democrats make up 50% of the American population. The GOP are pretty unpopular, especially if they run trump. And it was the so called “isolationists” calling fro America to invade Mexico.
    1
  169.  @ric7735ify  nope. All the blame lies on Russia.
    1
  170.  @hb-ol9oc  nah I’m good.
    1
  171.  @熊唯嘉 eh China won’t grab it outright, rather they’ll just turn what’s left of Russia into a dependency.
    1
  172. It lasted for a thousand years and produced some of the most powerful and richest states in European history.
    1
  173. China was a rival long before Trump entered office.
    1
  174.  @thewingedhussar4188 sounds like Hungary’s problem.
    1
  175. The Soviets didn’t use human wave attacks, because human wave attacks don’t work. These cos Fritos that Russia has have next to no training, they’re being issued AKMs that have been rusted all the time ay through, steel helmets and rusted body armor if they’re lucky. These conscripts are going to get fucking slaughtered. And that’s not even counting that Ukraine already has roughly 700k soldiers in the fight, who are better trained, armed and equipped.
    1
  176.  @kris7822  last I checked bread is made of grain.
    1
  177.  @HolyKingKong  the Midwest produces pretty much all of the country’s grain, and a large portion of the entire worlds. And grain is a lot more important than any other food group.
    1
  178. Like it or not but the lifting of protectionism is what killed industry in America. American workers simply re too expensive to be competitive with the developing world. Even now China is actually losing manufacturing jobs to SE Asia due to Chinese workers wanting higher wages.
    1
  179. Rohan is also a name.
    1
  180. There’s plenty of propaganda, but the fact is that Russia is also spewing propaganda and a lot more of it, which in turn you too are spewing out. Like it or not when everything is stripped away Russia is still the bad guy in this war.
    1
  181. China gains more by keeping Russia together as much as possible. Makes it easier to control and extract resources from.
    1
  182. Then go back to your Kremlin masters.
    1
  183.  @FrickFrack  it is impossible now. The bridges over the Dnipro are cut, and Russia’s landing ships are either sitting at the bottom of the ocean, scrap metal, or as far away from Ukrainian shore defenses as possible.
    1
  184. No
    1
  185.  @sinoroman  not really
    1
  186.  @db4423  and yet here you are, celebrating the killing of civilians.
    1
  187.  @db4423  yes how dare the Ukrainians defend themselves. Shut up Ruski.
    1
  188.  @db4423 yes you justifying the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the slaughter of its people is indicative of someone unfamiliar with history.
    1
  189.  @db4423  lol Two events, compared to the thousands by the Russians. Russia created this whole war since 2014. They’re a rabid dog, and rabid dogs are put down.
    1
  190. There’s nothing of real value in Russias eastern coast.
    1
  191. Buddy Eastern Europe is one of the most pro American regions of the world.
    1
  192. No we don’t need to leave NATO. NATO is a benefit to America and Americans. Isolationism only gets Americans killed.

  193.  @Vulcanus3231 yah we have all the needed resources to live as a third world country level of living.

  194. The oil industry is heavily subsidized. Same with farmers.

  195. The oil industry is heavily subsidized. Same with farmers.

  196. Over half of the population supports it.

  197. Dude the Russians are beginning to shop weapons from ducking WW2 to the frontlines. Yes the Ukrainians aren’t invincible. The Russians aren’t the mighty bear either. Get over it.
    1
  198.  @patrickhenry7416  not even close dude
    1
  199. That’s exactly what informational warfare is buddy.
    1
  200. Let me guess you only watch RT.
    1
  201. Shut up
    1
  202. Wrong
    1
  203. According to the Russians the dives Ukrainian soldiers are super soldiers who don’t die when they’re shot.
    1
  204. Yah that’s not how it worked out.
    1
  205.  @user-lt4zu5pl7c  the Russians only pulled out because they couldn’t overcome the Ukrainians in the north. That’s a Ukrainian victory.
    1
  206.  @user-lt4zu5pl7c  yah no that’s Russian propaganda. The Russians knew they were losing in the North, hence the “promise” that they would retreat, which they were already doing when they made that promise. Otherwise why did the Russians leave behind thousands of their troops who got stuck and tons of vehicles, supplies, and equipment to be captured by the Ukrainians? No, this was a Russian defeat, and no amount of Kremlin propaganda will change that.
    1
  207. Winston Churchill and his supporters were on the right very vocally opposed appeasement. And don’t pretend that the far left supporters of Russia don’t exist and aren’t very vocal about it.
    1
  208.  @pod11th31  No. Ukraine will probably now forever define itself by not being Russia.
    1
  209. Mirages and Gripens would have the exact same issues that F16’s have.
    1
  210. No
    1
  211. Russia is to blame dude. Doesn’t matter how many billionaires there are if the farms where the food is grown are on fire and being ran over with tanks.
    1
  212. Such as?
    1
  213.  @joanmirandarana450  no it just means that I don’t trust Russian propaganda, as it has been proven many many times to be nothing but lies.
    1
  214. Not really. Dictatorships have been the dominant form of human government for most of history.
    1
  215. Both parties suck dude, but the GOP are actively sucking Russian suck.
    1
  216. As if China gives a shit about genocide.

  218. Russia can’t win either. They take over Ukraine and they’re will be an insurgency not seen in Europe since WW2.
    1
  219.  @msmajmia7896 no
    1
  220. Bye
    1
  221. Yah no Russia going on the war path is a far more serious threat to the EU.
    1
  222. Lol

  223. Buddy the American worker would never be able to compete with third world workers in terms of pay. Your comment is detached from reality.
    1
  224.  @legendarydn3804  yah not even close dude. The Russians are no more close to gaining Bakhmut than they were 4 months ago. And even if they did it’s not enough to shift the tide of the war for the Russians. Its stratify value would come from it allowing the Russians to pincer attack from the north from Izium, but the Russians no longer control Izium.
    1
  225.  @legendarydn3804  lol copestery legends? Lol.
    1
  226.  @legendarydn3804  yah no I’ve watched his videos before. He’s not a credible source for anything. Get the actual Russian sources if you want. Coke harder Vatnik.
    1
  227.  @legendarydn3804  sure thing Ivan. Not even close to what I’m going but whatever you say. As for why the war matters is a simple answer of right and wrong. What Russia is doing is wrong. On top of that a Russian victory and the reintroduction of wars of conquest being a legitimate action on the world stage is one that will only weaken America in the long term.
    1
  228. Buddy the Russians aren’t any fucking better.
    1
  229.  @BoleDaPole  yah that’s why the Russians currently march down Kyiv’s streets huh?
    1
  230. It’s not dangerous at all. And right now it’s Christians killing other European Christians.
    1
  231.  @chocolatemonk China isn’t even the largest source of imported goods in the US. Canada and Mexico are. China is number three.
    1
  232. Russia is a dying power.
    1
  233. The member nations of BRICS don’t even like each other. And of the member states the only one that isn’t a developing nation is China.
    1
  234. Yes
    1
  235. How?
    1
  236.  @sinoroman  imagine being such a shit country that your neighbors would all rather be vassals of America than friends with you. Russia must be fucking absolute shit.
    1
  237. Yah no.
    1
  238. Should learn how to spy attention.
    1
  239. No
    1
  240. Buddy the European governments aren’t any more competent and reliable than the American governments is.
    1
  241. Such as?
    1
  242.  @scarletreyes7925  nope
    1
  243. That Congress passed that law means that Trump can’t abandon NATO like we withdrew out of the Taiwan treaty.
    1
  244. Vietnam is scared if growing Chinese power.
    1
  245. The Russians have been sending in their frontline units into Ukraine and they’ve been getting shredded.
    1
  246. America and China are the two richest and most powerful.
    1
  247. Source?
    1
  248. Not really
    1
  249. Don’t lay down your arms and allow a foreign invader to take over your country.
    1
  250. No
    1
  251.  @msmajmia7896 lol no
    1
  252. @Postal Mann because you have the IQ of a potato
    1
  253.  @havencat9337 sure thing buddy
    1
  254. That’s what the elite are.
    1
  255. Yah no.
    1
  256. There any reason why that you suspect?
    1
  257. Not really. Any energy source will do.
    1
  258. Buddy the Russians have shown that there nowhere near capable of driving on Warsaw, let alone Berlin or Paris. And I’m sure you’re “Ukrainian”.
    1
  259.  @MrAntonBaton I’m totally sure you are a Ukrainian who just so happens to be spreading Russian propaganda.
    1
  260. Until Venezuela invaded Guyana.
    1
  261.  @TheColombiano89  people said the same thing about Russia invading Ukraine.
    1
  262. You do realize that the closer that Ukraine gets to the river, the closer their artillery can get to hit Russian artillery right? Especially HIMARS. The Russians can’t hold Kherson long term. They’re going to lose a lot of men and equipment.
    1
  263. America and Britain used to be a part of the same country. Should the UK take over the US?
    1
  264.  @-newuser-707  wrong answer. However, should Mongolia take over Russia again?
    1
  265.  @-newuser-707  are you mentally deficient or something? Ukrainians literally speak a separate language than the Russians. The length of occupation isn’t what determines who gets to rule what dip shit. Ukraine also has a history separate from that of Russias that spans centuries. America does not belong to Britain and Ukraine does not belong to Russia, otherwise Russia belongs to the Mongols.
    1
  266. They do
    1
  267. Russia is right there.
    1
  268. The multipolar world is what lead to the world wars.
    1
  269. American soldiers are stationed in Rojava.
    1
  270. Because the Americans appear to be the only nation truly willing to protect the smaller nations of Europe. France and Germany just look out for themselves.
    1
  271. No they’re calling for it because they either want to retreat form the world stage, or for a the most fringe minority, support Russia.
    1
  272. You do realize that we are a democratic republic right? That’s what it means when we elect our leaders, we are democratic. The foudners didn’t like direct democracy, that doesn’t mena that they didn’t want to set up a democratic government, which is what they did. Pay attention in school next time kid instead of dragging our country through the mud with your ignorance.
    1
  273. Yah. And just as America is in the wrong, so is Russia.
    1
  274. Alright, let’s see your source
    1
  275. But that’s what it is.
    1
  276.  @ObeySilence  no
    1
  277.  @ObeySilence  no to the idea that they cant criticize Putin. If its bad when the West does it its bad when Russia does it.
    1
  278.  @ObeySilence  the name isnt really cynical. Is English your first language?
    1
  279.  @ObeySilence  because its not cynical at all. “Willing” has nothing to do with the perceived innocence of the nations supporting Ukraine. Gain is English your first language because you seem to be misunderstanding what “willing” means.
    1
  280. Such as?
    1
  281. At the cost of Russia's economy and political standing. Even if the war goes entirely Russia's way, which it doesn't seem to be going right now, Putin has crippled his nation.
    1
  282. Yah the third world isn’t going to stop selling to America anytime soon.
    1
  283. No
    1
  284. Not enough.
    1
  285. Because the US and EU are decentralized, heavily so unlike the Russian “Federation”.
    1
  286.  @erozionzeall6371  yah Russia can.
    1
  287. The British were never a global police force, and their rule as hegemon saw the world wars happen.
    1
  288. No
    1
  289. So it was either a false flag, Ukraine actually did strike into Russia, or Russian pilots are that incompetent that they’re shooting you their own fuel reserves. None of those make Russia look good.
    1
  290. It isn’t, but the Russians are already ruled over by a warlord.
    1
  291. Yes it is.
    1
  292. Because the average Chinese citizen can’t afford to raise more than one child.
    1
  293. Lol no
    1
  294. No
    1
  295. Georgia is a far smaller country than Ukraine.
    1
  296. Russian forces in Ukraine would at least be destroyed in a NATO intervention, including the Black Sea Fleet. WW3 would start and with it nuclear annihilation.
    1
  297. Thing is they’re not talking about interdependence between colonial empires, but between democracies.
    1
  298. No
    1
  299.  @antoniodelrio1292  well it’s not him
    1
  300. United States will certainly still be a super power in 50 years. Same can’t be said for China. China is undergoing population shrinkage and economic shifts that will greatly impact them.
    1
  301. Lol no
    1
  302.  @taraswertelecki3786  yah no
    1
  303.  @taraswertelecki3786  go back to youre Kremlin masters troll.
    1
  304. This is real politics.
    1
  305. The west doesn’t support Russia at all.
    1
  306. The Ukraine war isn’t about mineral deposits. It’s about Russian revanchism. Everything else is secondary.
    1
  307. They’re not. They’re depicting the urban extent of the cities.
    1
  308. No
    1
  309.  @donone1493  wrong
    1
  310. Ok?
    1
  311. What?
    1
  312. No we shouldn’t. A Europe dominated by Russia is bad for America you realize that right?
    1
  313. The operation hasn’t even been going ok for 5 days.
    1
  314. Russia be throwing around its oil money at pseudo-intellectuals in the west.
    1
  315. Western Ukraine is effectively a death zone for Russian Air Force, as both Ukrainian jets still fly and their AA systems are still up and running.
    1
  316.  @matej2733  well the Ukrainian rail network is still functioning so id say yes.
    1
  317. That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read, no wonder it came from a libertarian.
    1
  318.  @ihl0700677525  not an ad hominem to call your argument stupid, because it is. Thousands of people dying every day and entire nations descending into chaos while our enemies go on the offensive is not a good thing for the US. Our entire way of life relies on global stability to encourage trade that enables healthy economies. We cannot afford to not have an overseas presence, we saw that with Pearl Harbor as the oceans no longer could protect us. And on top of that to act like ducking Iraq and Afghanistan are the only forms of foreign intervention there is is just pure idiocy.
    1
  319. America, China and who?
    1
  320.  @YOUTUBE_AMERICA  so America, China, and who?
    1
  321. The break up of Hungary is nowhere close to the Holocaust dude.
    1
  322.  @anxietydisorders5917  bruh the Ukrainians liberated more territory in less than a well than the Russians captured in 4 months of fighting. The Russians literally control less territory now than they did on March 1st. Cope harder.
    1
  323. And territory shouldn’t be on the list of concessions.
    1
  324. Oh wow the Russians are capturing parts of small towns with prewar populations measured in the hundreds after losing over half of the territory they once occupied and paying the price of thousands of Russian lives. You’re a tool.
    1
  325.  @DRholmsey  no it hasn’t. The Russians are no more closer to shifting the tide the war and gaining control of Bakhmut now than they were back in September. And once the ground freezes solid, the Ukrainians will likely once again go on the attack.
    1
  326.  @DRholmsey  yah it really doesn’t matter. Even if the Russians take Bakhmut and the surrounding minor villages it’s not going to shift the tide of the war.
    1
  327. “Both sides bad” shut up with this NPC nonsense.
    1
  328. You do realize that the winter means nothing right? Ukrainians are fighting in their homeland, they’re not foreign invaders. They know the winters. If anything it’s the Russians who will suffer the most in the winter.
    1
  329.  @F0rGeting  no you even clearly meant that about Ukraine, because the EU isn’t in range of Russian artillery.
    1
  330. Generally you need to not be at war for that.
    1
  331.  @lance4337  then why is the lost cause myth so widespread?
    1
  332. Lay off the drugs
    1
  333. Lol no
    1
  334. Sure thing Vatnik.
    1
  335. No
    1
  336. Lol no Germany and France want peace at Ukraine’s expense. The Ukrainians want to fight till the Russians surrender or are kicked out of the country, you want to force them to surrender and cede territory to the Russians. The US and UK are simply giving the Ukrainians the means to achieve the victory they want to fight for. You’re just a coward who doesn’t care if people suffer so long as your life remains normal.
    1
  337.  @simeongrk486  and now they’re trying to fix that.
    1
  338.  @simeongrk486  what exactly is broken?
    1
  339. Sure thing buddy.
    1
  340. Only sellouts are the Trumpists. If they were in wooed they’d just hand over Ukraine and Taiwan.
    1
  341. You do realize that we’re not giving them money right?
    1
  342. That’s because no one’s forcing Ukraine to fight dude.
    1
  343. No
    1
  344. Half of the gop is over run with Russian sympathizers and isolationists, and partisan politics are putting the aid to Ukraine at serious risk.
    1
  345.  @sdagoth3037 it’s in our nations best interests to do.
    1
  346.  @sdagoth3037  maybe it’s not in our best interests to let a hostile nuclear power start to conquer its neighbors and make threats against us.
    1
  347. Not even close to being true.
    1
  348. No they didn’t. The Donetsk oblast is still mostly under Ukrainian control. On top of that the Russians have lost most of their territorial gains and have suffered extremely heavy losses of both man an equipment. I’d this is winning I’d hate to see what Russia losing looks like.
    1
  349.  @zdzislawmeglicki2262  yah no
    1
  350.  @chiritaalex  they vetoed a resolution put forth by Russia to have Russia “investigate it”.
    1
  351.  @chiritaalex  Yah no. And there are already independent investigators investigating it, on top of video evidence of the Russians committing those crimes. Don't be a sheep.
    1
  352.  @bombersaur1  There are good and bad people in every nation. Its good to see that you're among the good in Hungary.
    1
  353. No
    1
  354.  @bioltvint1boltvint125  good thing nothing of what you said was true.
    1
  355. Maybe. But unlike Americans Russians don’t live in a free society.
    1
  356. Lol no
    1
  357.  @donone1493  you say the Russians don’t lie but yet here you are, lying.
    1
  358. Not
    1
  359. No
    1
  360. Peacekeepers don’t kill or rape civilians or loot their homes and stores.
    1
  361. No
    1
  362. Yah this is nowhere near comparable to the battle of the bulge. Only NPC here is you.
    1
  363. Sure thing buddy
    1
  364.  @ColinTherac117  no, just a hypocrite.
    1
  365. Yah that really doesn’t mean anything dude.
    1
  366. No. Russia is more aligned with China. On top of that Russia is directly hostile to American interests in Europe and the Middle East.
    1
  367. Because they can’t.
    1
  368. Turbine engines can actually burn almost anything as fuel.
    1
  369. No
    1
  370. No the attacks on Snake Island succeeded. Unless you’re one of those morons who think that Ukraine tried to retake the island, very clearly just Russian propaganda.
    1
  371. We don’t have an army invading our country delisted what morons will tell you. Not to mention that the GOP shut down a bull that have them everything they wanted. They’re using it as a talking point for the election.
    1
  372. They used to.
    1
  373.  @johanpetersson2547  true, the fact that its not true is what makes it not true.
    1
  374.  @johanpetersson2547  1: No they’re not 2: they’re still nit sending children to the front. Youre a fucking liar.
    1
  375. I hope they do.
    1
  376.  @jacklouie8096  you’re right. And China has not shown america any respect.
    1
  377. No
    1
  378.  @doniehurley9396 Russia only has itself to blame.
    1
  379. Is there even a source for that 5k dead forgers that isn’t Russian propaganda? Regardless, Ukraine isn’t about to run out of manpower anytime soon. Russia is.
    1
  380. The why did they send Russian paratroopers to certain death? Take another hit if that Copium that Russian propaganda is handing out.
    1
  381. How?
    1
  382. I wish you the best.
    1
  383. Lol no
    1
  384.  @sH-ed5yf Russian propaganda.
    1
  385.  @shueyk2320 why? He’s right.
    1
  386. “Slavic vitality” lol Russia is a dying nation. This war is the dying gasps of the new dead man of Europe. Brute force only increases western aid to Ukraine.
    1
  387. Yah because he would’ve just let the Russians invade Ukraine.
    1
  388.  @INSANESUICIDE  as the Russians keep saying they’re at war with the entirety of NATO, yes it is.
    1
  389.  @izajahmed8863  you can’t raise wages and make cheaper products at the same time. And the entire world already buys American manufactured products.
    1
  390.  @Qnexus7  ok? That doesn’t change a single thing I said.
    1
  391. Suppression? Lol
    1
  392.  @tokyo.peking  Kherson, Lyman, Lysychansk, Donetsk, etc etc. What are you high on?
    1
  393.  @ASNS117Zero yah that’s a load of bullshit, and and the populist isolation crowd he has been cultivating, including naming an isolationist Vp, won’t accept it. If you think he can end this war you’re an idiot.
    1
  394. What’s wrong about this?
    1
  395. Sure thing ivan.
    1
  396. Buddy Russia is in an even worse situation than America is in that regard dude. And no the Poles are never going to “get better” with their main enemy.
    1
  397. American workers want to be paid too much for that.
    1
  398. Yah just like how Ukraine wasn’t about to take back Izium or Kherson huh? The leaked docs don’t say Ukraine is down at all dude.
    1
  399.  @emm_arr  of course he knows. Vatniks just lie, all the time.
    1
  400. There’s video evidence from drones and phones showing the Russians killing people in Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine. We just didn’t know the extent of it until now.
    1
  401.  @fortofgoodhope4189 Russia.
    1
  402. China is falling faster. It’s economy is reliant on foreign exports and a large population. Thing is companies are moving production to other even cheaper countries in South Asia and Africa while China is under going population decline. America on the other hand still has a growing economy and population.
    1
  403.  @tyalikanky  Chinese workers are increasingly demanding higher pay. It’s why manufacturers are moving from China to South Asia.
    1
  404.  @tyalikanky  no it’s arguably worse for China.
    1
  405. It wasn’t though. That’s literal Russian propaganda.
    1
  406. We don’t control South East Asia. We’re supporting our Allies in East Asia who are being threatened by China.
    1
  407.  @v1e1r1g1e1 global trade is globalism.
    1
  408. Lol whatever dude
    1
  409. The Russians themselves.
    1
  410. There’s footage of the Russians shipping grain from the occupied regions, along with steal and agricultural equipment back to Russia.
    1
  411. Except Hungary has also had programs of assimilating minorities.
    1
  412.  @Culturesocialism-cz7jx  no Ukraine does not forbid the use of minority language. And no the Ukrainian nationalists did not come to power in 2014. That’s Russian propaganda, only proving the point of how the Hungarian right is in bed with Russia. But none of that changes the facts that none of the minority regions of Hungary wished to be a part of Hungary by 1920.
    1
  413.  @FILOZOFUS87  again, bullshit propaganda.
    1
  414. Why stop with Ukraine? How about the Baltic nations, Poland, the Balkans? Where is the line?
    1
  415. Putin supporters don’t.
    1
  416.  @skp8748  Poles love America. They’re one of the most pro-American countries in the world.
    1
  417.  @Culturesocialism-cz7jx  smarter than you, that’s for sure.
    1
  418.  @Culturesocialism-cz7jx  the Austro-Hungarian empire used the assassination of Ferdinand as justification to declare war on Serbia as a means to continue their centuries long project of imperial expansion into the Balkans, and they were helped in this regard by the Germans issuing them the “blank check” by offering unwavering and unconditional support. However I don’t see how this is relevant.
    1
  419.  @Culturesocialism-cz7jx  what’s your education level?
    1
  420. Lot of Russians are going to freeze.
    1
  421. You do realize that Russia is a right wing dictatorship. Nvm you’re a brony.
    1
  422. Isolationism would only hurt America.
    1
  423.  @GOBEF3  isolationism isn’t about trade numb nuts.
    1
  424. Smartphones are not why global geopolitics has become unstable dude.
    1
  425. It isn’t
    1
  426. What
    1
  427. Lol
    1
  428. Says the Chinese. What next, Taiwan has no strategic benefit for America?
    1
  429. Macedonia is Greek. Transylvania is Romanian
    1
  430. nah
    1
  431. Europe is extremely important like it or not. And a Russia invigorated by a successful conquest is not good for American interests.
    1
  432.  @ArthurGencer don’t know if you e motives but Ukraine has descended into a stalemate. They’ve not thwarted the Russians at all, the war is nowhere close to over.
    1
  433.  @ArthurGencer  and I’m saying that’s an unacceptable outcome that needs to be prevented. This is far larger than just fucking Ukraine. It’s bigger than just Europe. And that people like you are blind to it is why America is losing its power and the world order is breaking down. So yes I did read your comments, and they’re dumb. Isolationists don’t want to be in NATO, and it’s isolationists who are pushing that we abandon Ukraine. Did you even bother to read my comments?
    1
  434. Russian propaganda.
    1
  435. There was literally border legislation that would’ve done everything the GOP wanted but it didn’t pass because Trump wants to use it for the campaign. You’re a fool who’s being played like a fiddle.
    1
  436. And no even if there wasn’t a border issue you people would still be against aid to Ukraine. Don’t lie.
    1
  437. Russia started this war, no one else.
    1
  438.  @zeljkoljiljak7256  nah I think he’s been planning this for months if not years. Doesn’t change the fact that this is all on Putin’s shoulders.
    1
  439.  @zeljkoljiljak7256  no
    1
  440. Yah no America was nowhere near isolationist before 9/11. Have you even fucking opened a history book once in your life?
    1
  441. They’ve already taken over in Russia it seems.
    1
  442. Yah I’m going to go ahead and say you don’t know anything at all about what the Ukrainians are going through.
    1
  443. Except he was.
    1
  444.  @golagiswatchingyou2966 again how dumb do you have to be to believe that?
    1
  445. Lol
    1
  446.  @palindrome.  no they’ve been using them. They’re used to launch missiles from.
    1
  447.  @michaelmontgomery5326  yah if the Russians were capable of that they would’ve already been doing it.
    1
  448.  @michaelmontgomery5326  yes the moral high ground goes to the nation which illegally sent in an army of thrives, rapists and murderers into Ukraine in a bid of imperial conquest.
