  2.  @darrenmonks4532  the ancient Greeks did for a while. I think some other ancient societies also. It was a battle of Champions. One chosen from each side. Sometimes it was the king sometimes it wasn't.

  3.  @ВладиславВладислав-и4ю  some of the so-called experts think so because of Russia's big size and that it rules a lot of smaller ' republics' many of which have their own language and culture. These same so-called experts claim that Russia has to have a strong authoritarian ruler or else it would splinter into a bunch of independent sometimes feuding States. There are actually Western politicians who would not like to see this happen because they think it would make the world even more unstable.

  6. Russia killed far more in Syria. Plus they did it intentionally and on purpose. Civilian lives unfortunately get caught in the crossfire and die but it's not something that the West does intentionally. It is something to be avoided if possible. But weapons misfire and Miss or they had bad intelligence and shot at the wrong target. But intentionally targeting civilians is a no no.

  7. Or how he was defending Russian Independence and sovereignty after he invaded another country in order to take it over and replace its leadership with a puppet.

  9.  @captainphilips5469  you need to take up the Palestine issue with the Republicans. Many Americans are not unsympathetic towards what the Palestinians have gone through. Plus there are Israelis who are supporting Putin.

  10.  @dollyschwall8537  he probably is already. But if he's so brave and so pro-russian why is he not out fighting instead of some poor country boy from Russian Asia?

  11.  @rickarnold6704  especially since the state controlled media in Russia is controlled by Putin.

  12.  @hmmmmm2634  well that's a very interesting and important topic and should be discussed but on a different site discussing this topic. Here we are talking about the Russian Ukrainian War.

  15.  @mastermariner490  🤣😂 yes they did. However I think to call him sir gay is a low blow and a little bit unfair. After all we don't want to stoop to the Russian level which is shoveling s*** in the devil's outhouse.

  16.  @pedclarkemobile  funny how all your multiple points of views still support the'special operation'. All they do is nitpick the details. And the narrators make a point to make sure that certain dissident opinions are put down and criticized harshly. All of those shows are rigged.

  22.  @bojanm986  well it seems like Russia has their own Neo-Nazi group called The Sparta group or Sparta Battalion one. Swastika tattoos.

  24. In my opinion if ISIS Said they did it.I would believe them. It fits their m.o. that they have done in the past. They love to brag about incidents like this. The pattern of attack is familiar as well as the timing and choice of venue. They relish killing as many civilians as they can to create chaos and terror. They believe anyone who isn't a follower of Islam doesn't deserve to live if they don't convert. This is why they are called a terrorist organization. Of course, not all Muslims are like this at all, but this is the lunatic extreme fringe of this religion. My hypothesis is, they don't support East or West by want the nation of Islam to be recognized as an independent power in the eyes of the world.

  25. 😂 Western oppressors? Coming from a Russian that is a big-time joke! You weren't listening to what that instructor was saying were you. Oppression is the only thing you Russians know.

  26. Well it's hard to feel sorry for Russians but the fact that they were sent to Belarus and then sent to Ukraine without being told what they were doing and then discovering that they were in a war without being adequately prepared for it is rather sad. They didn't have time to say they're good buys to their families or to make any preparations in case they got killed or crippled. That is not a good look for the Russian government. It could have at least told its own soldiers that they were going to invade Ukraine. I dislike their commanders even more than the soldiers who were trusting young kids obeying orders and doing what they were told. Now they have to live with their atrocities for the rest of their lives. Russia will have to deal with a lot of soldiers with PTSD. Families will have to live with the death of loved ones for the sake of Putin's paranoid delusions and his desire for imperialistic Glory. However I still have more Sympathy for the ukrainians by far!

  30. The Russian army reminds me a lot of those Locust swarms that plague parts of Africa at times. Coming to an area totally devastate it and then leave to go somewhere else to devastate. I see the Russians as a bunch of locust.

  37. I don't believe Russia did it unless they were pressured do it. I don't believe much of anything that any Russian tells me today. Not since this Invasion began.

  38. Well that means a lot from you. Maybe Russia will get the message that don't want Russia to run these areas again.

  39.  Daxue Zhuge  are you crazy no freedom of speech in western countries? What are you smoking? We have far more freedom of speech than Russia.

  40.  Ben Avery  yeah we knew that. We were trying to avoid a direct confrontation with the Russians. Not sure that was the right thing to do. Plus a lot of Americans weren't aware of what was going on in Syria. Sometimes if you have to work overtime and take care of family responsibilities it's hard to keep up with the news. I used to work for a couple of subcontractors and we would have to stay on the job until the job was finished. But the pay was good. However sometimes we've worked Into the Night.

  41.  @tertertr  🥱 fake news. Misinformation. Disinformation. Can't feel much Sympathy for the Russian transplants and the Russian soldiers that were fighting for the separatist. Even if all this happened as you said what did you expect what happened when you did what you did? We are all so bored with Russian lies and excuses.

  42. @Michaela Miller  Talk about Afghanistan We were boy scouts compared to what Russia did in Afghanistan. Oh unless not mentioned Syria what the atrocities have gone there with the Russians i And the Assad government. And oh yeah you supported the brutal Dictator kadafi. So how dare you lecture me on those countries. Russia has been far more brutal than America ever dreamed of being. Oh and we were so cruel and Panama not.

  43. @Michaela Miller  Don't confuse our oil industry with The government. Big oil is an entity on its own. The government can regulate it in this country but the companies have rights on their own and plenty of money. The American oil companies and British Petroleum developed the oil industry Pay for the Wells And had the technology. That's what gave them certain rights for the oil. So you're either a Russian troll, A woke idiot, Or A Qanon idiot nutcase.

  44.  @59vlada  They are more reliable than State controlled media under the direct control of Putin.

  45.  @BluEclipse94  You forgot to mention That Hitler pulled tr Troops from the Eastern front to fight the battle of the bulge. He almost won the battle Until his type started running out of gas and the weather changed and the allies could use their air superiority.

  46.  @user-wi94725  Ok.

  47. @59vlada  Well I never saw that particular episode. So you're taking things out of context And not telling the full story. I can't Reply Without seeing the entire episode. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still controversial to this day in discussions among Americans. There were many atrocities committed on both sides in Vietnam. Not that excuses it. However committing atrocities are not considered official military doctrine and can be a court Marshall offense. I have Have known people who have fought in Vietnam. There was a group of Vietnam veterans who went to visit And end it up becoming great friends with some of the NVA that they fought against in the same battles. These American veterans later on made donations for medical equipment to hospitals treating Vietnamese veterans. The Americans were Warmly invited back and they even offered To be hosts if they came over here.

  50. @BluEclipse  🤣😂 Your view of history is really amazing! It's really ridiculous! There's no denying That Russia suffered heavy losses But the allies including America invaded North Africa during the battle of Stalingrad. There they faced one of Germany's best officers field Marshal Irwin Rommel. AKA the desert Fox. The aim was to relieve the British And they're defense of the Suez canal and access to oil in the middle east. The British fought in N. Africa from June 1940 to August 17th 1943. The US entered the North African campaign On November the 8th 1942 and fought there till May 12th 1943. Then they went on to invade The island of Sicily to try to knock Italy out of the war. You also under play the fact that the allies bombed Germany and its factories day and night thus disrupting Germany's ability to resupply their army. The Americans bombed during the day And the British by night. Plus the US sent arms, ammunition, and money to the Soviets to help them fight the Germans.
