  1. Very well done documentary. The history was pretty accurate. I'm surprised that they did not mention the battle of Kosovo AKA the battle Of the field of blackbirds in which Serbia was defeated by the Ottoman Empire and basically became a vassal state of it until 1817 when it gained its independence with the help of Russia declaring itself as the protector of Serbia. Under Ottoman rule Many Christian families had to give up a son to the Ottoman' To join the Janissary corps and be raised as Muslims. It was also during this time that many Albanians converted to Islam. As the saying goes old wounds can run deep. It must have seemed very perplexing to the Serbs that President Bill Clinton and the Democrats supported Muslims over a Christian nation. It was to me as an American citizen. I couldn't see how much good could come from it in the future. As someone who graduated from the school of foreign service at Georgetown University he should have thought more about of what he was doing. He also went to the school of foreign service and Oxford in England. We did not gain any friends or influence in the Muslim world except Kosovo and alienated Christian Serbia. Bill Clinton must have slept through his history classes. I went to a secondary campus of a state university and thought his decision might not be a good idea. But the democrats were shot up in the ass with self righteousness.

  2. H*** yeah, what's the point of owning a gun if you can't shoot something with it. What's the fun in that?

  3.  @animacomedentis9506  yeah that's why Russia's economy is on a par with Italy.

  5.  @nashudchivas9352  where are these supposed Nazis?😂 hello don't you remember that ukrainians fought against the Nazis? They are hardly fans of the Nazis. That is one of your leaders delusional fantasies.

  6. Us and NATO are not ordering them to do a damn thing. We're just supplying weapons and giving them training in NATO countries this is the will of the Ukrainian people whether you like it or not.

  9. Agreed.

  10.  @thecook8964  I'm inclined to agree with you there. It's just one authoritarian want to replace another.

  11. Who knows if this story is true we won't know until later. As far as I can tell it hasn't been proved or disproved either way. I'm sure they've captured some Ukrainian soldiers but who knows how many right now. These troops have been surrounded and cut off for a long time so they might be running out of ammo.

  12. Obviously you don't know the difference from right and wrong. If you love Russia so much why don't you try living there right now?

  13. I agree with the person that said all politics aside.This is terrible for those people that were involved and that were killed or hurt. These people just wanted to have a good time and not hurt anybody. They weren't out to try to cause trouble or break any laws.

  14. Letting the inspectors into the power plant could insure the safety of everybody who's around that plant. Even small doses of radiation will creep up and the more radiation one gets exposed to the less they can be exposed to in the future without getting radiation sickness. Radiation sickness is not to be taken lightly. At best it can be crippling and at worse it means death in painful manner. So it would behoove the Russians to let the international inspectors do their job.

  15. Yeah he needs to dump himself then. He has done more to weaken Russia than almost anybody else.

  16.  @jovicanedeljkovic1885  The 2nd part is a good point but Russia cannot criticize US about Afghanistan. They were even worse.

  20. I agree

  21.  @troll_zizipiano2kiev  you talking about the Syrian genocide whole campaign of Assad? Or Saddam Hussein's attempted genocide of the Kurds? And who knows what you've been told about Libya.

  22.  @tanusha6145  so you're saying that if Russia doesn't get its way it will destroy a country? What kind of attitude is that? That's not nice. People don't have to agree we just have to get along.

  23. This is a shame. So sad for the families of those people and the victims themselves. Was there gasoline in the building also? Using natural gas can be dangerous if you have any kind of leak in the gas pipes going into the building. Not a good idea to store gasoline or petrol as some people call it in a building supplied by natural gas. That fire must have been incredibly hot.

  24. I think there I think a member of SEATO. Southeast Asia Treaty Organization.

  25.  @SheryAwan123  yeah I don't necessarily approve of that either in fact in many ways I condemned it oh, that is what I know about the situation and unfortunately and it's my fault that it's not much, but especially after I learned that a lot of Israeli supported Putin's invasion of Russia which really kind of pissed me off. It's their right to have that opinion, but I think it showed a lack of morality on their part. Not a good example for a people who claim to be God's chosen people to set forth to the world.

  26. It could be a distinct possibility.

  27.  @tianwong7168  don't be so sure of yourself. Russia might be winning at this moment but Wars are unpredictable and things can change in a hurry. Right now Russians Victory seems to be getting close to a Pyrrhic victory if it hasn't reached that point already.

  28.  @logangx9319  yeah and they don't have to fight but instead let the Buryats and Yakuts do their fighting for them. If these Russians are so brave and tough why aren't they fighting for Russia instead of just running their mouths?

  29.  @user-g5xnx7gjqb  hello in case you haven't noticed Ukraine doesn't want to join Russia.

  30.  @tianwong7168  tell that to the ukrainians. Don't count on them giving up anytime soon.

  31.  @kamranrowshandel6395  well if I was understanding your Babble correctly, you said the individual shouldn't be able to set any goals that the only goals should be National goal set by the state? That could have come straight from Mussolini. What a cynical viewpoint. The whole idea behind freedom is the right that the individual has to decide and set his own goals. Those goals do not have to be and usually aren't contradictory to the goals of the state. A state that allows individuals the right to determine their own goals will generally have a more loyal citizenry.

  32.  @kavinraj8176  yeah that August coup was a scary and sad time in history. Yeltsin was Brave though. I don't think either the west or Russia expected or was prepared for what happened after that. I think it took many on both sides by surprise and they weren't sure how they should react to it.

  33.  @zam5272  oh please can you Muslims do anything other than feel sorry for yourselves and blame everybody else for your problems.

  34.  @BruceLee-pr1md  you're one to be talking after what the Russians did in Aleppo

  38. I am not totally unsympathetic with palestine's cause. Since there are a lot of Israeli supporting Russia. Plus I think in many ways Palestinians did get a real deal. However that's another topic we're talkin about the Russian Ukrainian War here.

  39. This shows once again Russians are a nation of sheep blindly following a leader. It doesn't even occur to them that Ras-Putin is the cause of all their present problems!

  40. Well then why don't you go live there?

  41. Well if you're serious that means a lot. I hope they stay strong myself. People need to respect borders.

  42. What? How did NATO put Ukraine in this condition? Quit blaming the victim. Russia invaded.
    2
  43. Can't say that I blame them because that wasn't much of a choice. That's like asking if you want to be shot or stabbed.

  44. well at any rate I am celebrating the 4th of July weekend.❤🇺🇸🍺🍻

  46. @North Korea Is Best Korea Uh, because he's Palestinian and not Burmese and what is going on in Palestine is more of a pressing and immediate concern to him? We have no idea what he thinks about Burmese if it's even across this awareness at all.

  47.  @ev.c6  I'm not sure about that, because that just might encourage Russia to do the same thing somewhere else. Maybe Ukraine could say all right we won't demand that Russians go face war crime charges but Russia will have to leave. It would be impossible anyway to enforce War crime charges on Russia. It could only be done in Absentia with the condition that if these people left Russia to visit another land they would be arrested on arrival. Otherwise it would just be a meaningless and symbolic gesture. A war crimes trial is deserved but impossible to carry out at this point. The only possible way I could ever see that happening would be for the Russian people to rise up and overthrow the Putin regime and arrest him and his supporters. However I can't see that happening in his lifetime or in the lifetime of many viewers today.
