  1. The only thing keeping the Russian economy going is China if they withdraw support it's difficult to see how much longer Russia can last
    102
  2. You know you're getting desperate when you need assistance from North Korea
    93
  3. Get ready for those who have never set foot in Russia filling the comments section with claims Russia is doing great.....
    52
  4. If Putin gets to keep captured Ukrainian land he'll spin it as a victory, but I also find it difficult to accept that he will give up his ambition to completely destroy Ukraine as a sovereign nation, he's made plenty of speeches regarding his feelings towards Ukraine
    38
  5. Free from Putin and corruption
    26
  6. Because they put their own interests first.
    18
  7.  @noelle3551  tell that to Gaddafi
    17
  8. Gorbachev is largely blamed in Russia for the break up of the Soviet Union and he was hated for that. The irony the break up has led to Russians enjoying western technology and the benefits it brings.
    16
  9. But you lack the knowledge to counteract anything he says, truth is you just don't like what you hear
    14
  10.  @bilic8094  yeah Russia is doing so well they've started using conscripts something Putin said he wouldn't, they've increased the age of enlistment to 50. Russia's attempt to take Kyiv was an embarrassing disaster, face it Russian troops are badly trained badly equipped and have very little motivation
    14
  11.  @ItsJustTsukii  really... why?
    14
  12. Troll alert
    13
  13. ​ @ScottJohnson-h3k  difference is though the Ukrainians fought for a genuine reason the Russian soldiers will have to come to terms they fought for a lie
    12
  14. Never been to Russia have you
    12
  15. Unfortunately they are the minority in Russia
    12
  16. It would be suicide for Putin
    12
  17. ​ @davidclemens1578 never been to Russia, China or Venezuela have you. How can a nation with dictators ruling be democratic?
    11
  18. Putin may want to see that but the reality is very different
    10
  19. I bet he knows the difference between your and you're.
    9
  20. Russians are starting to wake up, plenty of videos of Russian women wanting to know about their men
    9
  21.  @ItsJustTsukii  by all means explain why Ukraine being as you say neutral make the slightest bit of difference?
    9
  22. He'll never accept responsibility
    9
  23. And yet Ukrainian troops are still in Kursk region
    8
  24. And no sign of things likely to improve
    8
  25. ​ @jamesmiller2735 so how long have you supported a brutal authoritarian dictatorship?
    8
  26.  @jamesmiller2735  protect their borders from who? Just an excuse for Russian aggression. You think Russia is a free and democratic country? That ended when Putin came to power. See here's the problem I constantly see, you think Ukraine doesn't have the right to escape Russia.
    8
  27.  @leenunn6446  and you got those numbers from where?
    8
  28. Ever lived in Russia? No of course not
    8
  29. Solovyov children in the military? No of course not
    8
  30. Did he? He didn't want to end the war against Ukraine he wanted to be provided with more weapons to continue it
    7
  31. Seriously where were you educated???
    7
  32. Only in your dreams
    7
  33.  @jeletessus  really....and you know that because? Truth being in reality you haven't a clue
    7
  34. The problem is that many particularly in western Europe don't see the situation in Ukraine as their problem. The situation in Germany for example
    7
  35. He's not troll
    7
  36. They don't haven't you figured that out?
    6
  37.  @cockneycharm3970  so you actually believe Russia?
    6
  38. A little harsh, he makes the effort to research and produce these videos why shouldn't he ask for additional support
    6
  39.  @heathermccall8015  I've seen enough independent surveys to know they're not the majority at least not now
    6
  40. Problem is he actually still has the support of the Russian majority
    6
  41.  @jamesmiller2735  what are saying Ukraine should be subservient to Russia for cheap gas? I'll put it in as simplest as I can......Putin wants to erase Ukraine explain why you support that?
    6
  42. @coupeproductions4388  that land was taken in 2014 when Ukraine was unprepared, since 2022 Russia has made next to no progress. The millions of land mines planted by Russia have only slowed things down but just incase you and others thought Ukraine was on the back foot they took huge parts of Kursk to which Putin has still failed to retake. Putin has been humiliated and the people of the Kursk region now know he doesn't care about them
    5
  43. ​ @vladzoubenko9104 try learning the difference between your and you're
    5
  44. I seriously doubt Putin cares about Kazan
    5
  45. I think Putin has different ideas
    5
  46. He's not going to give up being a dictator
    5
  47. You're delusional and obviously have never been to Russia
    5
  48. More likely the daily cry for you
    5
  49. Oh yeah Russian media is so reliable
    5
  50. Typical vague comments regarding Russia which is a good indication that you've not set foot in Russia. Reality check the Russian currency has already collapsed and the economy is in crisis
    5
  51. Never been to Russia have you
    5
  52. They speak different languages and even the alphabet is different
    5
  53.  @eenigheid3186  believe it or not he is still very popular in Russia and the obvious question is who would replace him. The concern is we could actually get someone worse, remember Prigozhin wasn't against the war he wanted to escalate it.
    5
  54.  @Klaus1386  quote this treaty, of course I know you won't because it doesn't exist
    5
  55. Watching Russian soldiers march is hilarious.....what were they thinking when they decided on that style?
    5
  56. ​ @kadourimdou43  that's the situation now but if Trump gets elected I wouldn't be so sure
    5
  57.  @toto-yf8tc  NATO isn't fighting in Ukraine and we're witnessing the alleged second most powerful military being humiliated
    5
  58. At least we are free to call a war a war so don't bother talking about propaganda
    5
  59. Completely fake reporting
    5
  60. Not until Putin is gone
    4
  61. Not the first time we've seen protests in Georgia, don't assume a big change is coming
    4
  62. What Russian propaganda?
    4
  63. Putin
    4
  64. Irrelevant group
    4
  65. @kkiuoi  why do you think we still have NATO?
    4
  66. @herbb8547  we've already helped Russia develop its industry it happened after the collapse of the Soviet Union, I really don't think we should be using our technology and expertise to enrich Russia we've already made that mistake.
    4
  67.  @andrewrivera4029  no more than someone like yourself
    4
  68. I seriously doubt that
    4
  69.  @Kolljak  not likely though is it?
    4
  70.  @eenigheid3186  Putin dealt with the oligarchs when he first came to power and that's when they still had some power and influence, today I really don't see them being any threat to him he's had more than 20 years to consolidate his position and convince the general public that he is the only option.
    4
  71. He has become critical of the Putin regime so he out lived his usefulness
    4
  72. His English is excellent, get lost troll
    4
  73. You've been saying that for almost a year now
    4
  74. How's your Russian? Flawless?
    4
  75. Troll alert
    4
  76. More desperate acts from Putin
    4
  77. Typical denial of a Putin apologist
    4
  78. Yeah as if you've ever seen Russia
    3
  79. Do you live in Russia? Do you personally know someone in Russia? The Russian economy is in the toilet in case you hadn't noticed
    3
  80. Get a life
    3
  81. ​ @seanphurley by the Kremlin but naturally you believe them
    3
  82. ​ @SocratesWasRight YouTube needs to try to remain neutral
    3
  83. ​ @emm_arr did they? Are you actually saying they have free elections, next you'll be telling me Russia does
    3
  84. Is he? Or maybe the point is over your head
    3
  85. Orbán is an ally of Putin not Europe but of course he won't leave the EU because Putin needs him to disrupt the EU fromwithin plus the millions in subsidises that he receives
    3
  86. Russia isn't a democracy where people get to choose such things. It's illegal to suggest breaking away from Moscow
    3
  87. Lavrov and Peskov just repeat kremlin propaganda. Zelensky is no fool he wants security guarantees because he knows Putin simply can't be trusted, he's broken every agreement that Russia had with Ukraine starting with the Budapest Memorandum which contained no guarantees despite what is often claimed on the Internet
    3
  88. Putin never accepts responsibility for the problems with the Russian economy he simply blames the west and more recently the head of the Russian Central Bank. Propaganda is strong in Russia and due to this he has the support of the majority.
    3
  89. ??? What soldiers?
    3
  90. No he's pointing out the truth about how far Russia has fallen under Putin
    3
  91. Doesn't matter how often you copy and paste this it still doesn't make it true
    3
  92. I think you have completely missed the point of sanctions
    3
  93.  @mityaboy4639  he has no idea
    3
  94. @RevShifty  unfortunately most Russians prefer to be led by an autocratic leader like Putin. There was as you say when Russia looked as if it was going to become a democracy but the oligarchs at the time miscalculated when they chose Putin to replace Yeltsin. Putin when he came to power rejected foreign western aid because it came with the stipulation that Russia must be democratic
    3
  95. @zharlzzz  you're Russian living in Russia? Then you'll have no problem explaining registration
    3
  96. Well one thing is for sure they've shown Russia isn't
    3
  97. I'd imagine that Russia will insist as part of any deal that sanctions are lifted so I wouldn't expect a collapse
    3
  98. Because you're correct
    3
  99.  @DiO-fy5ex  what men?
    3
  100.  @ivan7453  who knows who'd replace him
    3
  101. Yawn typical comment from a Putin apologist
    3
  102. No problem here
    3
  103. People claimed Ukraine wouldn't last a week
    3
  104. Been hearing that for more than two years now..... are you seeing the pattern?
    3
  105. Doubtful
    2
  106. Putin isn't interested in peace
    2
  107.  @kevincrady2831  dummy grenades or rocks they need to learn the technique of throwing a grenade
    2
  108. ​ @PeterWalls-kq6ye you really don't understand Putin do you, he must be defeated otherwise he will just continue doing this and he won't stop at Ukraine
    2
  109.  @glennllewellyn7369  not even close, telling whoppers such as?
    2
  110. Yeah all info supplied by the Kremlin.......a reliable source? Yeah by all means justify your position of disseminating Kremlin propaganda
    2
  111. Anymore and they'd be arrested
    2
  112. Putin owns the FSB they won't do anything
    2
  113.  @davidhowse884  I'm aware of what happened I'm pointing out how Russians see things and I'll guarantee in particular the older generation who thought the Soviet Union was paradise will blame Gorbachev and not the failures of the communist party. Was the USSR really communist though? Yeah it was grim under Stalin but it wasn't just Ukrainians who suffered under him. There was a time when the crimes of his time as leader were being investigated but Putin shut that down.
    2
  114. Seriously?
    2
  115.  @heathermccall8015  welcome to YouTube
    2
  116. Since when did the Kremlin start telling the truth?
    2
  117. Putin makes ridiculously long speeches no surprise some will sleep
    2
  118. Have you lived in Russia?
    2
  119.  @Rickagon  let's not lose sight of the fact that these common Russian soldiers have committed horrendous war crimes
    2
  120. ​ @Blileygerman evidence?
    2
  121. Extremely difficult in Russia where such information is suppressed
    2
  122. @q9a  first learn the difference between there, their and they're. You've just drawn a comparison yourself don't you understand that? You're are right to say protesting against the government in Russia is dangerous but a journey to Siberia? You're a few decades old there
    2
  123. Still worth more than the ruble Putin's attempts to make it a reserve currency utterly failed
    2
  124. ​ @willyvanroy2523 independent observers say different
    2
  125.  @gulogulo7636  good luck figuring out the algorithm it removes comments regardless of the position of the author......
    2
  126.  @paulyoung4422  OK ignore the question
    2
  127. Your point is?
    2
  128. Not just food but money and investment
    2
  129. Given the poor performance of the Russian military it's difficult to believe they have a university program for the military
    2
  130. @garymorton1772  I fear you're right and he will continue his war against Ukraine in a couple of years. This whole thing about blaming Ukraine for wanting to join NATO is just a lie.
    2
  131. Go away troll people don't care about a minor mistake in his English it isn't important
    2
  132. He simply blames the west
    2
  133. Putin has created the problem you're having not Zelensky
    2
  134. ​ @Mr.Funnyman273 you're Russian? Many claim that but few are......of course you can tell us about Russia
    2
  135.  @Mr.Funnyman273  you seriously think that the CIA is interested in you? Hilarious
    2
  136. Russia is a dictatorship
    2
  137. He's already starting to cause concerns for the Republicans which is where his power lies
    2
  138. Obviously you haven't been anywhere
    2
  139. ​ @URProductions hilarious comment peace with North Korea? Is never going to happen
    2
  140. And he's been right every time unlike those claiming Ukraine was a matter of weeks away from defeat
    2
  141. Mother Russia? You've never spent a day in Russia
    2
  142. Never been to Russia have you
    2
  143. I take it you did not watch the video
    2
  144. Stop trolling
    2
  145. Definitely got something on him
    2
  146.  @louisecorchevolle9241  no you're not and I very much doubt that you've set foot in Ukraine.
    2
  147. We can hope but some governments are weak
    2
  148. @murphy7801  I don't think they should however Putin will insist on this, because the Russian economy is in crisis and needs the sanctions lifted and of course its likely Trump will also insist Europe lifts the sanctions
    2
  149. They celebrate the 9th of May, remember they pulled out of WWI early
    2
  150. What are you talking about? Ukraine has the right to decide its future not Putin
    2
  151. ​ @SaturnineXTS  what difference does the size of the country make?
    2
  152. He didn't YouTube randomly do
    2
  153. Putin has never gotten over the collapse of the Soviet Union
    2
  154. Putin Russia's greatest enemy
    2
  155. ​ @nigelslade5276 I think you missed the point
    2
  156.  @Lufex_  exactly what are you struggling to understand?
    2
  157. The Budapest Memorandum was only an agreement to respect the Ukrainian borders there's actually nothing in it that says that the US must guarantee to protect them
    2
  158. Generally speaking Putin still has support due to the constant propaganda they're subjected to. Slowing down YouTube and potentially blocking it aren't popular though
    2
  159. Who is advising travel to Russia? It's the last place you want to go
    2
  160.  @jamesmiller2735  have listened to Putin? He's saying there's no such place as Ukraine.....different language and alphabet
    2
  161.  @alberts6096  this may surprise you but there's people out there that don't follow every single video on Russia or Ukraine, something that happened a couple of weeks ago isn't old news for the majority. I suggest if you are against Putin which doubt you try to keep your comments to constructive ones rather than pointless ones such as this
    2
  162. Nope
    2
  163. Nope
    2
  164. Putin only care about himself not the Russian people I'd have thought that was obvious
    2
  165. That Russia can never be trusted because they have proven they are barbarians
    2
  166. Why you don't seriously believe that troops from North Korea are a threat to Ukraine? This is just a typical Putin attempt to try to show he's not alone
    2
  167. Oh please Brexit had nothing to do with Russia and certainly not the small boats
    2
  168. Russia can't defeat Ukraine let alone Europe and what allies? North Korea and Iran? Yeah sure a few thousand starving North Koreans are really going to help Russia win the war
    2
  169. Last person I'd quote
    2
  170.  @JuanSanchez-ik7wx  no information? What video did you watch?
    2
  171.  @JuanSanchez-ik7wx  and exactly how do you know the information is not factual or the predictions are not based on factual information
    2
  172. Russia has barely made any progress in Ukraine
    2
  173. Traitor, go live in Russia if you love it but know that you haven't spent 5 minutes in Russia
    2
  174. Doesn't matter how often you keep repeating yourself it won't make it true
    2
  175. Even natural English speaking people have different pronunciations the classic example between people from the UK and US
    2
  176. And Germany wasn't in WWII?
    2
  177. Reload YouTube
    2
  178. You might want to check a dictionary and edit your post

  179. Don't think he needs a geography lesson

  180. Protests are illegal in Russia, they already have a bad situation and are afraid it could become worse
    2
  181. Protests are illegal in Russia and they are afraid that they can find themselves in a worse situation

  182. Let's be clear Russia took part in a regional war not the World War
    1
  183. What group?
    1
  184. No he's Russian so knows a lot more about Russia than you. We were told by people like you you that Ukraine would be defeated in weeks, you were wrong then so what makes you think you're right now?
    1
  185. You think that they should use real grenades
    1
  186.  @TheBiggreenpig  training using real grenades? Yeah sure
    1
  187.  @actionhiro4222  you think???
    1
  188.  @coupeproductions4388  so Ukraine has consolidated its position in Kursk the point is Ukraine invaded at the beginning of August and we're a day away from December, given that people like you are always claiming Ukraine is defeated what's Putin doing? There's no shortage of very unhappy Russians at the moment appalled at the lack support Putin has given them
    1
  189. @coupeproductions4388  no shortage of videos of Russians soldiers stealing a great many washing machines and toilets? Yes Russians are desperate for toilets. Quote the article details I'm not searching for something that probably turns out to be a quote from Russia, the point is and obviously you find very uncomfortable that Ukrainian troops still control a significant part of Kursk.....Where's the mighty Russian army?
    1
  190. @dwanemarsh4378 never ceases to surprise me how many experts who have never been to Russia will claim they know better than a Russian
    1
  191.  @dwanemarsh4378  it's there way of copying with their disappointment with how bad Russia is doing, on paper as I very often point out Russia should have easily won but of course it's never that simple
    1
  192. Putin will never accept that
    1
  193. No they're shelling Russian backed terrorists
    1
  194.  @kartikeyatiwari2502  the only reporters there are those selling Russian propaganda, independent journalists such as Simon Ostrovsky just get kidnapped by the terrorists you support. Try reading UNHCR reports about eastern Ukraine, kidnapping, torture and even murder are well documented crimes of Putin’s terrorists.

  195. Seriously what idiot told you that?

  196. We've been hearing this nonsense for more than two years now and still Russia can't defeat Ukraine

    1
  198. Still spamming the comments sections with your kremlin propaganda, it's all nonsense that you copied without caring if the information is accurate
    1
  199. @timmommens901  yes again and again with exactly the same kremlin propaganda in multiple comments sections. But you know he's never been to Russia let alone Ukraine

  203. I think he's trying for the Nobel Peace Prize, but unfortunately he doesn't understand or doesn't care about Putin

  204. YouTube is blocked in Russia

  205. Seriously that's what's important to you?
    1
  206. Maybe for the oligarchs but not your average Russian
    1
  207.  @williamstacey1032  first when and where exactly did Nixon say that because in his life time no one could have predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union. The west did support Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed 3 billion in aid from the US alone followed by massive investment in Russian industry to bring it into line with the west.....without the west Russia would have collapsed into chaos
    1
  208. They pretty much did that in the Soviet Union years
    1
  209.  @emm_arr  well then you're completely clueless and are just talking nonsense
    1
  210.  @emm_arr  so you've lived in Belarus or Russia and understand how things actually work in those countries? Ah silly question given your comments so far it's obvious you don't have any idea at all. Have you even left the village?
    1
  211.  @johnniehouston1816  I'd imagine how many, but yeah asylum could be an option
    1
  212.  @glennllewellyn7369  oh it's not rubbish conscripting from Moscow or St Petersburg would be evidence that the Russian propaganda about the war is actually false
    1
  213. Too many problems, Russia removed the English language option from ATM machines in 2014 and now western bank cards don't currently work in Russia. There's also getting there since flights from the west no longer fly to Russia, there's also questions about the safety of Russian aircraft since they can't get spare parts.
    1
  214. @tomfurmby88  you know you can learn a lot from the Internet but that doesn't mean everything you read there is true. First it's not illegal to protest in Russia, so obviously your 10 year sentence is claim is false. Where did you get this 60% figure from that states Russians are against the war? You're assuming that Russians are in full possession of all the facts but clearly you are not given your comments. Russians aren't a different species, what exactly do you think are the aspersions are of a typical Russian? Your attempt to compare it with a woman being in childbirth is so far from reality it's laughable
    1
  215. ​ @OrzPrecursor  because he's a narcissist

  217. Different situation they were defeated, I'm not seeing any appetite from western politicians to do the same thing to Russia

  218.  @rathersane  people with common sense who support Putin? Have you ever left your little village?
    1
  219.  @rathersane  a simple yes or no is that a problem?
    1
  220. Irrelevant what you said, you either agree or not with that.....don't bother trying to dance around the issue
    1
  221.  @almabatekert_villanykorte3387  I think the number is currently possibly less than 25% but Russia isn't a democracy and he will come down violently on protests

  222. Try Google

  227.  @edwardhanson3664  the point has completely lost you hasn't it

  228. You're right in most ways yes Putin wanted to keep Ukraine poor? Yes Ukrainians could look across the border and see Poland was enjoying success so yes they wanted this also. So the plan was to enter into an association agreement with the EU but yes Putin wasn't having that and used economic blackmail and probably bribery to block this causing the President Yanukovych to pull out of the deal and this is what led to the protests not as the kremlin sycophants claim the US.

  229. Does anyone really believe that Putin will keep to an agreement he makes with Zelensky? He simply cannot be trusted.

  230. @willyvanroy2523  you're confusing Ukraine with Russia
    1
  231. Meat no fish maybe
    1
  232. I'd be surprised if Ukraine had missiles that can reach Yekaterinburg
    1
  233. Population levels have been a problem for years now in Russia, but I think Putin has always preferred the carrot rather than the stick
    1
  234. Are you sure?
    1
  235. YouTube have always censored videos and comments in particular
    1
  236.  @ElayneAstrix  I don't believe that YouTube censorship was specifically aimed at protecting children, but it does seem to have become worse why that is I don't know
    1
  237. Facebook and Instagram are already banned in Russia YouTube has been threatened with the same
    1
  238. Sure whatever you say
    1
  239. The only coup that occurred in Ukraine occurred in Crimea where the kremlin seized control illegally. People protested in Kyiv but it was as a direct interference from Russia not the US.

  240. Never been to Russia have you. Proxy war? Remind me again who invaded who. You accept the kremlin version of events? Why they've been proven a source of disinformation

  241. Only in your dreams

  242. I'm not so sure his absolute control of the media means he can shift blame

  243. Beer before work?
    1
  244. Not true....you really should look at the Atlantic convoys
    1
  245. No Putin doesn't see Ukraine as a separate country to Russia but definitely not as equals to Russia
    1
  246. It shoots down the myth that this war is popular when Putin needs to bribe people with obscene amounts of money
    1
  247.  @QuicksilverVM  tell me when did you live in Russia? Unfortunately for you I'm far from being clueless and I know exactly how and why Putin is attacking Ukraine. I guarantee you know nothing
    1
  248.  @martinj2843  with all his faults he's far more trustworthy than Putin, at least we've only got 4 years of Trump unlike Putin who has had manipulated the Russian constitution 3 times since 2000 to stay in power for +30 years

  249. I wouldn't write him off just yet

  251. Idiot???
    1
  252. How many countries held such a referendum? Closer ties with Europe is exactly what Putin has been trying to prevent
    1
  253. With a quarter of the population of Ukraine then it's not difficult to imagine it would be easier. You forget that Putin mourns the Soviet Union
    1
  254. And you know that because?
    1
  255. People need to remember Russia isn’t like the west there's no freedom of speech or media and he's shutting down parts of the Internet that are critical of him, Russia is really becoming a new North Korea
    1
  256. Most only get to see what the kremlin tells them and of course any hardship Russians face are blamed on the west
    1
  257. Any such proposals would be blocked at the UN by Russia who is a permanent security member. It's not within the remit of the ICC to interfere in negotiations

  258. Sure

  261. @asaunders1406  a Russian defeat
    1
  262. @denisoko8494  people have been predicting that collapse for a while but I honestly don't think that the western powers really want to see a fragmented Russia because it could potentially be more of a danger. It was briefly free in the 1990's until Putin came along, maybe a collapse of the Russian economy could bring in a new era. You could argue that the US is a composite of different colonies, different ethnic groups with different languages
    1
  263. Nope if you support Putin you're the anti-Russian one not him
    1
  264. Wasn't that fast and he looked shakey coming back down
    1
  265. You have a clone sending messages
    1
  266. You mean he doesn't support a brutal authoritarian dictatorship the question is why do you?
    1
  267. China virtually owns Russia
    1
  268. @herbb8547  Yes it's true the US and in fact the UK helped the Soviet Union during WWII a fact that Putin is removing from Russian history books. Why do you think cooperation ended with the end of the Second World War? Do you not think it had something to do with incompatible values and attitudes? I really don't think you understand how Putin thinks or even the average Russian.
    1
  269. The US is still a democracy with a courts that serves the people and not a leader
    1
  270. Russia isn't a democracy the government is Putin
    1
  271. Such as?
    1
  272. I doubt China is involved
    1
  273. No Russia is constantly threatening to ban YouTube in Russia
    1
  274. Putin can never be trusted
    1
  275. He's already doing a lot of manipulation in Russia particularly with the media. He's banned Facebook and Instagram he regularly threatens YouTube
    1
  276. Wouldn't be so sure
    1
  277. Don't conflate two separate issues, I couldn't imagine any western nations giving up territory to a nation like Russia
    1
  278. @karnovtalonhawk9708  the video is about the situation in Ukraine why do people like you keep insisting on dragging the situation in Israel? If you want to discuss the situation there then find a video on that topic.
    1
  279. The evidence suggests that they are not
    1
  280. Tell me about your time in Russia? Never been to Russia have you
    1
  281. No doesn't work like that
    1
  282. Yawn typical unoriginal comment with zero explanation
    1
  283. You do know it's illegal in many countries? Did Nixon arrange that?
    1
  284.  @louisecorchevolle9241  and that proves what? Oh a lot more people speak English than your language
    1
  285. Fortunately it's only temporary even hardline Republicans are concerned about Trump's relationship with Putin
    1
  286. @murphy7801  oh Putin can and will ask about the sanctions and pressure will be put on Europe to agree
    1
  287. And you believe them?
    1
  288. @peacepoet1947  who completely unprovoked invaded who and started a war? The real Russian economy hasn't grown at all unless you think producing weapons for the war is growth. They've been claiming every week for 3 years now that Ukraine is finished. If Russia won then why does Putin need North Korean soldiers, why does Ukraine still occupy parts of Kursk
    1
  289. Complete fiction nothing but Russian propaganda
    1
  290. They're subject to Russian propaganda very much like Germany in the 30's
    1
  291.  @Jacob-gi3md  Zelensky is respected for his bravery, Putin is a wanted war criminal
    1
  292. A ship worth less than an F-35

  293.  @hillwalker8741  apparently not well at least not now
    1
  294. @heraklesnothercules.  actually it ended on the 8th of May it's the Russians who say it ended on the 9th but my point is that the Bolsheviks pulled out of WWI early actually losing significant land to Germany. It's said that Germany helped Lenin get back into Russia for that purpose
    1
  295.  @heraklesnothercules.  it's hilarious that you're trying to tell me about Russia. Need I point out that the topic is Armistice Day for which I've explained why it's not commemorated in Russia. I've pointed out that the 9th of May is when they have their victory day.
    1
  296. Correct, all because he doesn't consider Ukraine to be a sovereign country

  297. ​ @bjrnhjjakobsen2174 physically maybe but population, wealth? No comparison

  298. Yawn...... go away troll

  299. Complete crap, you don't know what corruption is. As for the king forced into a marriage he didn't want. OK what morality are you talking about?
    1
  300.  @gbarhip  it must really upset you how popular they are then. As far as the alleged payment is concerned first its nothing but hearsay and you make the assumption he was aware of her true age because unfortunately girls like that are very adept at hiding that. At a time where much of the world was scrambling to get PPE you're seriously suggesting a member of the government wasn't allowed to use his personal connections.....seriously? Sorry but it's ridiculous to suggest that only one plot of land was suitable for building a new hospital. One thing is clear you've never been to Russia, I'm absolutely sure that people don't get arrested in the UK for simply holding up a placard however I know for a fact people are are literally arrested for holding up a blank one. Ah another one crying over the downfall of a dictator which of course explains why you love Putin, have you seen the size of Iraq? How many years do think we have spent carrying out inspections? Nope removel of the threat was the only viable option. Russia in particular the government is corrupt to the core. In the UK there's more freedom than you realise, I remember seeing a poll from Russia several years ago now where one out of every ten Russians wanted to leave Russia the main reason being lack of human rights, since the beginning of this latest war I suspect the figures to be much higher. Facebook and Instagram have already been banned and its simply a matter of time before YouTube is.

  301. Russia has elections do you think they are genuine too?
    1
  302. Did Trump lift the restrictions? I thought that was Biden
    1
  303. Don't be so sure
    1
  304. Do you have a realistic current alternative to Russian gas for Europe? Yes Europe does buy Russian oil and gas but you left out the part about the next to no profits being made. Of course US goods are entering Russia via Kazakhstan? I'm not seeing Apple products openly on sale in Russian stores? Put your own house in order before complaining about others

  305. Restart

  306. What are you talking about

  307.  @JJ03330  why would anyone be ashamed? Western media is independent whereas in Russia it's completely controlled by the Kremlin.

  309. You are joking right?

  310. ​ @elisabethnygaard8525 Putin is the kremlin propaganda controls what the majority of the population see
    1
  311.  @eenigheid3186  the general public in Russia are subjected to Putin's version of events, he literally banned Facebook and Instagram because they refused to censors their content to fit the Russian narrative and now Russian school children are being taught the kremlin's revisionist version of history
    1
  312.  @improperamoger  sure whatever you say if it helps you sleep well at night but I suspect he's a little better informed than sycophants like you
    1
  313.  @improperamoger  informed of the catastrophic failure of the Russian military, you know the thing that you obviously find so upsetting. No he uses a map that's aligned with others your language has exposed your obvious bias here so tell me how long have you supported a brutal authoritarian dictatorship?
    1
  314.  @improperamoger  I haven't avoided anything you're the one who is desperate to undermine what this guy says now why is that? Using stock images when actual images aren't available is common in the media, you do know this? Heads up you simply claiming it's false simply because you don't like it doesn't make your claims true, as I said he's in a far better position than you to know about the reality of the situation. Again explain to me why you support a brutal authoritarian dictatorship and not someone like this? Have ever even set foot in Russia?

  315. Trump will only be in power for 4 years then he'll be gone Putin has already been in power since 2000

  327. @OB1-2-3  it'll probably get taken down by YT but you're quoting a man who as an adult slept with young girls.....that just isn't right on any level
    1
  328. @OB1-2-3  I say yes but you'll claim he only broke British imperial law, but if he ever broke Indian law I suspect it would have been ignored. What is his legacy? Millions of people people desperate to leave and live in the countries he accused of oppressing them....don't you see the irony?

  352.  @paulpaisley5291  they're not losing either are they....... Russia failed to take Kyiv and have been pushed back east. Now exactly why do you support a brutal dictatorship guilty of war crimes?
    1
  353.  @paulpaisley5291  I've already pointed out that it's you're not your and you claim I'm thick? So as I suspected you've never been to Russia, if you want to see real corruption then go to Russia. You're figures are nothing more than a figment of your imagination. It's actually illegal to call this a war in Russia, if media does they are facing 15 years in prison. You have absolutely no idea how this started that is obvious, no such law banning the teaching of Russian was ever proposed never mind passed. How is starting a war in Ukraine protecting ethnic Russians protecting them? And they are Ukrainians not Russian.

  355. @RevShifty  there's no technically about it they either exist or they don't. Exactly what do you think will change if they make their presence known? As far as I can see they still remain the minority in Russia so I don't think you're a revolution here just more innocent people inside Russia's brutal jails
