  1.  @HearMeRawls  Bingo. "They'll just sell it to China" comments are nonsensical. This huge volume needs new infrastructure and DEMAND. China is doing just fine today and if a war breaks out - test assured there's going to be a global recession and demand will actually go down. Russian economy is smaller than Italy. They are screwed if they invade

  2. If Russians see Ukrainians living better lives, they'll start to question why they need Putin

  3. Exactly. This isn't about NATO as so many tend to think

  4.  @Balibaliadashi  ??? While I'm also not asking for boots on the ground, where did you see Ukraine telling West to "get off"?? We, Ukrainians are pro West.

  5.  @davidnoelfranks1124  I see you are a Russian troll. It's so easy to ruin your agenda with facts: 1. Ukraine just had a record GDP. That's considering occupied territories that used to add about 25% to overall GDP. AND considering lack of investments due to continuous threat from Russia. This record GDP is precisely because Ukraine is moving towards West. 2. Ukrainian minimum wage is higher than russian. By about $47. Fact. Anyone can look this up on Wikipedia. 3. Ukrainian average salary is only about $200ish lower than in "mighty" russia. Considering russian natural resources, it's a joke 🤣. If russia didn't occupy parts of Ukraine in 2014, obviously the numbers listed above would be much much higher.

  6. Of course not. Afghanistan didn't fold in the 80s and kicked out Russians.

  7.  @wolfswinkel8906  LMAO 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I AM from Ukraine! YOU are going to tell ME how Ukrainians feel about Ukraine?🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. LMAO! I just love when clueless foreigners are trying to explain to a Ukrainian ethnic composition of Ukraine, history of Ukraine and how WE feel lol. News flash for you - most of the soldiers on the front lines defending Ukraine today (and dying for Ukraine) are Russian speaking or ethnic Russians. My first language is Russian and even my last name is Russian but I want nothing to do with Russia

  8. 😂 who's "they"? I have news for you as a Ukrainian - we are all one culture and united as never before. Just because about 25% speak Russian (empire influence), doesn't mean they like Russia.

  9. That's a very good idea. There's already talk about EU army and this should definitely be discussed more and more

  12.  @davidnoelfranks1124  Huh? How's this even compatible? If anything Yankees in 2021 is what Russians would be if they invaded Ukraine. Ukrainians have no where to run, it's their land just like it's Afghani land in Afghanistan and they didn't run. If anything it's going to be Russian occupants leaving Ukraine in a hurry and pro-russians clinging on to military trucks

  14.  @wolfswinkel8906  Sure. Whatever makes you feel better in your head. It doesn't make it a reality. Really entertaining though 😂

  15.  @petergrey1873  They are already de facto "independent" (occupied by Russia). Only thing is, Ukraine just had a historic record GDP... So your "doom" scenario can't be further from the truth

  16. 🤦‍♂️ and in the meantime allow russians do what they wish to neighbors?

  17. Russian occupied parts of Ukraine and killed thousands of Ukrainians. What are you talking about?

  19.  @petergrey1873  So?

  20.  @petergrey1873  🤦‍♂️ That's news? They were already there since 2014. I still want to hear why Ukraine is "doomed".
