  1. Unfortunately you're correct

  2. ​ @JinkJink buy yourself a box of tissues so you can have a good cry

  3. Zelensky isn't going to needlessly sacrifice his troops in the same way Putin has a slow but steady approach is sensible

  4. ​ @suportbghelp4938 you can't seriously be comparing Russia with Japan???
    50
  5. ​ @7oshiki19 they're free to leave the EU and NATO
    43
  6. It's a reasonable prediction
    35
  7.  @dankokovacevic  yes under the terms of the Black Sea Agreement, I suggest that you read it and you'll see how Russia broke it. Also Russia constantly claimed at the time that its troops were not involved in the take over of Crimea even though we know that was a lie
    32
  8. The fact that he's getting away with his remarks says a lot
    31
  9.  @peetfourie5193  and the US admitted to that mistake.... Russia on the other hand tried blaming someone else
    24
  10. ​ @osheridan empathy for war criminals??? I don't think so, I'm perfectly happy watching Russians turning on each other

  11. ​ @marshalLannes1769 obviously you haven't watched the video
    19
  12.  @danciagar  not something to be joking about though, we haven't seen since WWII the crimes being committed by Russia this bad. Russian state TV broadcasts every evening claiming they never target civilians
    17
  13.  @IamMrSimQn  I can't say I'm surprised however Putin has just openly challenged Trump, so we'll see if Trump is as good as his word
    14
  14.  @yolo22176  So you don't respect the sovereignty of your own country now..... that is a crime in its self
    13
  15. Putin didn't really have a choice when Turkey got involved

  16. The truth hurts you

  17.  @kosarkosar7683  Russia has already annexed part of Ukraine as everyone knows. Your comments regarding fascists are nothing but gibberish, based on a Russian lie simply because Ukraine chose the west over Russia. The EU or US removed no one, there is absolutely no evidence to support that claim, the problems only began when Putin interfered with the politics of Ukraine, he feels he has the right to determine the future of Ukraine, this was the cause of the trouble in Ukraine, also the president abandoned his office and where did he run? Ukraine is a dictatorship??? Is that a joke? You don't think that Russia that has had the same president for more than 20 years is a dictatorship? A president that has manipulated the Russian constitution in order to keep himself in power until at least 2036. Don't make claims about a dictatorship when you clearly support one. Russian minorities in the Baltic states are free to become citizens of those states however they are required to learn the local language and culture. Curious that you don't have a problem with Russia having the exact same policy. You're just another person I see in these comment sections who knows nothing about the situation, someone who has never been to Russia

  18. ​ @DanteLovesPizza Merkel was very pro-Russian so using your theory that he followed her then he must have been

  19.  Internet Research Agency  you should try reading independent reports from the UN rather than Kremlin propaganda

  20. And you know that because?

  21. ​ @masonhandforth1369 why it's a valid point
    8
  22. ​ @johnbaker4246 they never made any such claims

  23. You can't seriously suggest Putin is a good guy????
    8
  24.  @wulfleyn6498  sure about that?
    7
  25.  @qinby1182  the no expansion east is nothing more than an internet myth..... there's no evidence to support it and if you actually thought about it, it's obvious that it's ridiculous to suggest it was agreed
    7
  26.  @attiepollard7847  no we made that mistake before, never again
    7
  27.  @blackjack8043  have you ever wondered why so many former Soviet Republics and Warsaw pact countries joined NATO? We're seeing why now

  28. ​ @avex3903 Russia is being humiliated by a country a fraction of its size

  29. ​ @chessmasterblunderer they already have

  30. Why would you support Russia given their crimes
    6
  31. Not in sufficient quantity

  32. You've been claiming that for two years now. No this is nothing like the Battle of the Bulge you really don't history and more likely quoting someone else

  33.  @sj4632  ah here we go whataboutism again. All you want to do is distract attention away from the fact that Russia or more accurately Putin is behind the conflict in Ukraine. There's no legitimate reason for Russia to place one hundred thousand troops on the Ukrainian border so the US amomg others has the right to question this. You're quick to point towards European countries and their colonies, but ignore brutally of Russia and the Soviets to other nations in particular Ukraine and please don't bother trying to claim crimes committed by the Soviets have nothing to do with Russia. In your final comment you are literally denying Ukraine and other former Soviet states the right of sovereignty and freedom to determine their future. Who is going after Russia? Who has invaded Russian territory? These are just Kremlin propaganda designed to keep the dictator Putin in power

  34.  @sj4632  a legitimate point? I'm still waiting to hear this point. There's a considerable difference between military aid and the surreptitious placing of nuclear weapons in Cuba. I know that the Soviet Union only lasted a relatively short time however don't bother suggesting that their grip on these other nations wouldn't have equally lasted hundreds of years hadn't the Soviet Union collapsed, that's hardly a mitigation of what they did. Hitler? Oh the man that the Soviets conspired with to divide up Europe between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union? It always makes me smile when people like you hide that fact. The Soviet Union was socialist in name only, but are you now going to hold the west responsible for the fact that Russia has completely embraced capitalisma also? Ukraine is a sovereign nation who has a right to join NATO or the EU if they choose, it is not Putin's decision. I glad you mentioned missiles as you maybe aware that Ukraine had previously agreed to give up its nuclear missiles in response to a guarantee Russia would respect the territory of Ukraine..... just goes to show that trusting Russia is foolish and keeping NATO was the right decision. The Serbs were committing genocide with the help of Russia, the international courts have prosecuted Serbia for these crimes.... curious that you accept genocide carried out by Serbia but condemn what you see as western genocide. Libyans overthrew Gaddafi themselves, they executed him themselves, did NATO play a role? Maybe a very small piece, but for decades Gaddafi had been sponsoring terrorists throughout Europe.... he got what he deserved. Illegally seizing Crimea, invading eastern Ukraine and arming terrorists groups there and threatening to completely invade the entire country is what you seriously call restraint? Is that supposed to be a joke? You keep claiming a coup took place in Ukraine, which of course never happened, I've already explained that by definition is was not, what happened was Putin's interference in Ukrainian politics which then led to the protests against this.... Of course such a thing could never happen in Russia as Putin made protests against him illegal. The only reason so many ethnic Russians live in Ukraine is because of policies of Russocation, its curious that Russia has no problem with the Russian language being forced on Ukraine but objects to the Ukrainian government efforts to make the Ukrainian language official in Ukraine.. Putin is the only person responsible for any anti-Russian feeling in Ukraine but he will of course look for the convenient scapegoat of NATO

  35.  Internet Research Agency  No they leased military bases in Crimea

  36. ​ @spiraboy population of Russia is the one shrinking and it's only getting worse
    5
  37.  @DVHeld  western threats? Such standing up to Putin's aggressive actions against Ukraine? We sat back when he invaded Georgia and look where that's left us, with Putin believing that he can act with inpunity throughout the old Soviet Union. Just exactly how far should we allow him to go?

  38. Rapid? They've barely moved in two years
    5
  39.  @qinby1182  So you admit NATO expansion into east Germany was discussed but nothing else yet you want to retrospectively claim it meant no eastward expansion at all???

  40. ​ @tnamr5652  no Saudi Arabia hasn't joined BRICS so I seriously doubt your claims

  41. Time for Poland to seek a trade deal with the UK

  43.  @wonderplaceholder  because that's how NATO works, why create another military organisation?

  45. Authoritarian government

  46.  @skywillfindyou  and your solution to the invasion of Ukraine by Putin is what..... ask him nicely to leave? The point is Putin sends Russians who are poorly equipped, trained and motivated on kamikaze missions for what?

  47. Never going happen but Trump could be a problem
