  1. Not me. I once liked Fox. It still has its place. Dessenting opinions need and should be heard for Freedom of speech reasons. Otherwise we're no better than russia china North korea and iran. However I expect a station should back their allegations up with valid points or facts or pertinent questions. Not to spew lies, half truths, character assassinations, misinformation and disinformation as so many far right and far left media tend to do. Let's have some journalistic ethics and standards brought back to public media.

  2. ​ @Sharky1101 Probably because he worships his God Donald Trump.

  3. No, a vote for RFK Jr is a vote in support of Putin.

  4. I am still holding out hope that they will use him in a prisoner Exchange. The civilian that he killed used to be KGB and once was a bodyguard for Brezhnev so that civilian wasn't totally innocent. He was facing a hostile but rightly so civilian population and any of them has a potential to shoot back at Russian soldiers. No matter what he did he was going to prison if he was caught and if he didn't shoot he would have probably ended up in prison or in a Work Camp. Seems to me he was caught in a classic double bind damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. It seems to me it's always the grunts and not the officers who ordered them are the ones who get punished

  5.  @user-tw2cc3jn4g  yeah keep telling yourself that maybe someday you'll believe it.

  6. @Ver Coda  Interesting. Normally I would say I bet that wouldn't make them fans of Putin, but you can't ever underestimate the average Russian's ability to endure suffering.

  7.  @duongho7195  Absolutely.

  8. Yeah this war is Putin's folly. A former Sambo instructor of Putin when he was a young man said he quit teaching Putin because he said Putin had no sense of danger. His instructor was disturbed by that and decided that it was wise not to teach Putin anymore.

  9. China's always been ruled for the most part by emperors and have a strong authoritarian history. However these emperors were supposed to follow the Mandate of Heaven and be righteous. It seems that the Chinese value Law and Order and social stability more than they do individual rights and freedoms. I know this is a generalization but I think it's generally true overall. I am fully aware that all the rules have their exceptions.

  10. I think that's what Putin is thinking. He may be wrong but I think that's what he's thinking. He is probably overestimating Russia and underestimating European resolve again. I think he really believes it he can use gas as a weapon and that it will work. Let's hope that he's wrong. I think the Europeans know how critical the situation is and they are willing to put up with some hardship if they have to do it.

  11. That's like a DiGeorge Orwell's 1984 novel George Orwell

  12.  @vladislavdoroshuk9100  should be no part of your story makes any sense to be more grammatically correct. But your English is a lot better than my Russian.

  13.  @georgehenry76  yeah well Hitler was defeated 75 years ago.

  14. I guess you don't have a sense of right and wrong do you? Have you even paid attention to what Russia has done during this war?

  15.  @vincentanguoni8938  I think he could get some Medals of Valor.

  16.  @ZeleKnez  there you go again with all that pseudo Nazi talk. Before you call anybody Nazis he ought to take a look at yourself and how the Russian army is behaving.

  17. Just like trump did when he was trying to run for president.

  18. Roman you're back in a war zone keep your helmet on! Please! There are many people around the world who care about you.

  19. That's awesome. You are a good man

  20. I really feel for you man. This must be quite a shock and a living hell for you. It's an unpleasant situation for everybody. Be strong and do what you can do and take care of yourself.

  21.  Let the flames takeover  Russia is one to be talking about Syria. After what they did in Aleppo they can't criticize anybody.

  22. It's your delusion you can believe what you want.

  23. I feel even more sorry for the state of Georgia. She is such an awful person. So hateful.

  24. 🤣😂

  25.  @greattime860  how about Russia breaking the Budapest agreement that it would never invade Ukraine if they got rid of their nuclear Arsenal? I can understand why you don't like NATO countries near your border but it is Putin's aggressiveness that's driving countries to want to join NATO. It's his aggressiveness that's now causing all these European countries to step up their defense budgets. Putin has brought all this on himself because of his madman dream. The Soviet Union oppressed the countries they took over and now none of those countries want anything to do with any kind of Russian control.

  26.  @mikeconley9590  I'm not having that problem. I do have the volume up all the way but the ads aren't all that bad.

  27. 🤣😂

  28. @Firew Shafi they weren't the only ones that crushed those Nazis. But now they have become the new Nazis.

  29.  @dearlife7771  we help the British and we're attacked by the Japanese under Tojo. We had some help from the Aussies but mostly it was on our own. Get your facts straight.

  30.  @youtubewatcher2  the Spanish-American war was 130 years ago and the Mexican war was almost 200. It's easy to blame our ancestors but those were different times under different circumstances. A totally different zeitgeist.

  31.  @ivannisevic6685  well that's what you get for invading Ukraine. You should have expected something like that could happen that they would fight back and hard.
    2
  32.  @Chiungalla79  yeah the US and UK destroyed Germany's industrial capacity.
    2
  33.  @Tekton177  if it wasn't for the British in Americans bombing Germany Russia probably wouldn't have been able to defeat them in the Eastern Front. Japan attacked the US, Russia attacked Ukraine. There is the difference.

  34.  @kurtbecker3827  yeah I guess that was Winston's Churchill's payback for the London Blitz.
    2
  35.  @shakibulhasan2379  yeah they probably went to the Assad regime in Syria. Probably what he used in Palmyra and other places.
    2
  36. Exactly. We don't have to know how they're going to do it all we really need to know is what the inevitable outcome is. You don't want to Aid and abet your enemies.

  37.  @mrchoudhury6611  NATO has gone out of its way not to deliberately face Russian troops. That's why it didn't enforce a non fly zone or send any troops to fight the Russians. Any and all American troops that are in Ukraine were volunteers and they were advised not to go by the US government. However the government doesn't have the right to stop them if they do want to go.

  38. We can do both. This war is costing a lot less than you think. We make money and create jobs from those arms sales. Plus what small percentage of our GDP we spend now will be a whole cheaper than what we will spend in the future if we don't.

  39.  @Asswife  Yeah the main difference was though russia's doing it on purpose. The u s tried to avoid it.
    2
  40. Yeah off the coast of georgia.
    2
  41. It was close.
    2
  42.  @nenaradicevic8079  you're right about that point that's why they have investigations. As the Spanish guy said he thought they were Romanian so I don't think the locals killed them. The police must investigate every lead though and eliminate the improbable until they find the probable.
    2
  43. Yeah I believe it was as long ago as early spring last year.
    2
  44.  @democracy189  well you never want to underestimate an opponent. Overestimation is not good either but it's far better than under estimating.

  45.  @willy-gs9ei  Don't you mean for Ukraine?
    2
  46. I don't know the Russian military Rules of Engagement or if Russia has a provision that a soldier can disobey an unlawful order. He might not have a choice but to obey.

  47.  @xielens  you have a point there with some organized religions. Some can be very authoritarian and intolerant. I guess it depends on the religion and what their values are. Thank goodness we don't burn witches anymore or torture people who have a different viewpoint of what the religion means.

  48.  @joedellinger9437  There is a little bit of truth in that.

  49. OMG that's awful.

  50.  @qqq1q1qqqqqqq  I agree with what you say
