  1. Doesn't surprise me at all, there's so much false claims all over the internet
    1000
  2. Belarus needs to be punished for this crime
    96
  3. He did before in 2008 so your friend should be worried
    95
  4.  @ruiddd956  why is it anti-Russian when Russia expects people like in Russia to speak Russian.
    94
  5. Do think Lukashenko cares?
    81
  6.  @InfiniteRhombus  no more Bin Laden
    54
  7.  Ravi Rav  There was nothing racist in Davin's comment and he made no mention of war criminals yet you have chosen to focus on that
    52
  8.  A Star  troll
    51
  9.  @hatchxable  you're seriously comparing the two? Oh they are forced to learn Russian. Can you explain why Ukrainian and Tatar has been removed from government websites in Crimea? No I guess its OK when the Russians do it . There's also the issue of abducted children in Ukraine being sent to Russia to be raised as Russian.
    49
  10. The woman who said voting was pointless in Russia because the result was already decided was 100% correct
    49
  11.  @khalidibnwalid6336  another Bin Laden??? OK how was the US defeated? They spent 20 years waiting for the Taliban to fight them but eventually got bored of waiting......is that how you define a defeat? The US was there 20 years and Taliban could do nothing about it
    48
  12. ​ duncansmith7562 please don't waste our time claiming she speaks her native language, the Russian language was forced on countries like Latvia, it's nothing like the situation in Canada
    46
  13. Russia has used gas as a political weapon many times, but Germany didn't think they'd do it again???
    45
  14. ​ @Mr.Clownensky against what? Putin invaded Ukraine not the other way
    41
  15. ​ @Сигизмунд-с2й because she lives in Latvia not Russia, but by all means go ask for a Russian passport in Russia without speaking Russian, please
    41
  16. They need to wait for the correct conditions before they can hold elections? That's dictatorship talk
    39
  17. Irrelevant
    38
  18. Actually it was the Ukrainian Church, but it makes perfect sense to align themselves with the west instead of Russia
    37
  19. You should read the Russian media if you want obsession
    35
  20. Someone was funding the Taliban, where are they now?
    31
  21. As the Russian economy collapses
    31
  22.  @maryfe8221  why shouldn't countries who suffered greatly from the actions of Russia in the past seek alliance with the west? Seems very understandable
    29
  23.  @forefatherofmankind3305  OK, can you point out what was inaccurate or biased in this report
    27
  24.  duncansmith7562  they obviously are to you. Tell me why do you support a brutal authoritarian dictatorship? Also if people living and working in Russia must speak Russian why is that OK but not for Latvia to expect people living there to speak Latvian? You clearly haven't clue about Canada, bulk of the country speaks English. Point being they were two separate dependencies, Latvia wasn't which why s Quebec speaks a form of French but however limits their integration with the rest of us country, but you think that's a good thing?
    26
  25.  @khalidibnwalid6336  again the Taliban just hid from the US for 20 years. Tell me do the Taliban wear uniforms, insignia? To use air support you still need a target, but unfortunately the Taliban just hid in their tents and caves. To claim the US was defeated you need to explain what the Taliban was doing for 20 years, why it was the decision of the president exactly when the US left. Bin Laden is dead and there is no Al Qaeda so there was no reason for the US to remain, but of course they spent some time training the Afghan army who of course are not cowards like the Taliban because the army proudly wear their uniforms
    26
  26. In December, there's no point in following Russia
    23
  27. And you came to that conclusion using your vast medical experience and training
    22
  28. nothing like a war to keep the domestic population distracted
    22
  29. Russia can't be trusted
    21
  30. No this situation isn't the same as the one in Turkey, Lukashenko is deliberately inviting people to Belarus, he's actually providing the flights with the sole purpose of sending them to the Polish border
    20
  31.  @keracsvminya8778  hilarious comment.... China can never be trusted
    20
  32. ​ @evolassunglasses4673 well documented that Russia is sending people to the EU
    19
  33. What gives Putin the right to decide Ukraine's future?
    19
  34.  @love__and__hope__  troll
    19
  35.  @salomienbetten178  please drop the conspiracy theories
    19
  36.  @overlord4404  oh give it up everyone knows that's Russian disinformation
    19
  37. In Russia they have a category of people called "victims of political repression" these are people or their relatives who suffered under Stalin. Ironic isn't it 70 years later and nothing has changed
    18
  38.  @AjaySharma-le3df  why should his nationality be kept secret?
    18
  39. I think this pair were just making a political statement, the woman is actually Russian. Given their ages and apparent good health there was no real reason to travel to Russia
    17
  40.  @flaviusbelisarius1408  nope
    16
  41.  duncansmith7562  some needs to educated you. Again you think Russification was started by the Soviets, you're wrong you can't even get basic facts right. By the the Soviets promised that the people living in the other Republics could keep their regional languages of they lied and also forced schools to teach Russian. I seriously doubt you know the meaning of bigotry, because you don't want countries like Latvia to reclaim their land or culture
    16
  42. Have ever travelled internationaly? There's these things called visas, an airline wouldn't even let them on the aircraft without one
    16
  43. The government doesn't care about its own people, do think they care about the welfare of this group?
    16
  44. ​@@yok-fk5litry living in Russia without being able to speak Russian
    16
  45. @Alex W This guy being? The claim that Navalny had no real following.... yet the Kremlin feared him or to be more precise Putin did..
    15
  46.  @mrjerzheel  evidence of that claim? Of course you naturally won't provide any
    15
  47. you believe the Russian MOD?
    15
  48.  @xwilly5552  you need to ask yourself why so many former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pack countries join NATO
    15
  49. they need a new leader
    14
  50. Not ever been to Lithuania or Europe have you
    14
  51.  @Ig0r1995  no, the majority of Ukrainians support the government position of closer ties with the west. Ukraine made the mistake of allowing Russia to influence its policies, but no more.
    14
  52. And you know this because?
    14
  53. No this nothing to do with EU influence, Ukraine has decided it wants a closer relationship with the EU, unfortunately Putin thinks he has the right to stop them
    14
  54. Huge explosion is your first clue the cause of which was confirmed by the Lebanese, so exactly why are you questioning what the Lebanese reported in their country?
    14
  55. Oh get over yourself, the situation was caused by covid not Brexit
    13
  56. Get ready for the trolls and apologists for dictatorships
    13
  57. Well if they hadn't occupied all those countries for decades then those countries where there are NATO bases are now might not feel the need for them
    13
  58. ​ duncansmith7562 you've not spent 5 minutes in Russia have you
    13
  59.  @de-nis4703  no they can't, the Russian army is 80% conscripts armed with old Soviet weapons
    12
  60.  duncansmith7562  I'm telling you that Russification on countries like Latvia, a little bit of history wouldn't hurt you
    12
  61.  @renanvinicius6036  Russia has stolen Ukrainian territory, started a brutal civil war in Ukraine simply because Ukraine wanted to sign an association agreement with the EU, but NATO is the security threat? If NATO wants but missiles at the gates of Russia they've got the Baltic states.... that argument is is a just an excuse to justify Russian aggression. Sovereign countries shouldn't be dictated to by Russia, it's that simple
    12
  62.  @alexsilent5603  he's already on his 4th term
    12
  63. Canada is a lost cause
    12
  64. Take away the nukes and Russia has a poorly trained consprit army
    11
  65.  @de-nis4703  irrelevant, it's a poorly trained unprofessional military of conscripts forces, numbers can't make up for that
    11
  66. Another one who didn't watch the video
    11
  67.  @mindmybusynassm1645  how else do you think they are getting to Belarus?
    11
  68.  @jenasushawkins9492  and where were you medically trained???? I think I'll trust a health professional rather than the internet
    11
  69. The reason Ukraine is so poor is because it allied itself with Russia instead of the the west. The last thing Putin wants to see is a successful Ukraine.
    11
  70. Russia does this every day
    11
  71.  @rudolfgunther9686  the US started this? Is that a joke? Russia has violated Ukraine not the US, they are responsible for the shooting down of an airliner but are too cowardly to admit that, no they fabricated evidence that was proven to be all lies
    11
  72. @Chishio Chishio Trumps wall? The border defenses were there before Trump became president. Also what gives people the right to force their way into another country?
    11
  73.  @bormorozov  yeah I do and it's no joke how many people were murdered and sent to the gulag for doing nothing
    11
  74. they wouldn't last 5 minutes
    11
  75.  @MrTOPDAWGKILLER  he's not, but he's listening to medical experts whereas you aren't....it really is that simple
    11
  76.  @adiadi5832  you don't understand anything about Putin or Russia
    11
  77.  @TheAllMightyGodofCod  the Lebanese authorities have confirmed the cause of the explosion, why should we doubt them and engage in your speculation?
    11
  78. Oh yes let's turn a tragedy into a political win..... troll
    11
  79. Hilarious 😂
    11
  80.  Arthur, Just Arthur  you're not from Belarus, you haven't even been there.... so leave
    11
  81.  @flaviusbelisarius1408  when did the US get a leader who has twice altered the constitution to keep themselves in power for at least 36 years? Nope you obviously support the dictator....
    10
  82.  @flaviusbelisarius1408  US electoral system may be imperfect, but at least the end result isn't predetermined as in Russia..... there's zero democracy in Russia
    10
  83. They've been trying that in Ukraine for nearly a year now....... and you think that Russia can take on NATO?
    10
  84.  @RealMTBAddict  and your medical training consists of what exactly? The occasional YouTube video
    10
  85. Their economy is in a mess
    10
  86.  @fishlivesmatter  troll alert
    10
  87.  @yaroslavmsk1  because I'm sick of what Putin has done to Russia and Ukraine. Tell me why do you support a brutal authoritarian dictatorship?
    10
  88.  @MilanTheMan69  no you just want to see them under a dictatorship
    10
  89.  @Greg-qz9dm  never been to Russia have you and you want to live and work in Russia you must speak Russian, understand now?
    10
  90.  @chrisviaegnatia4347  you can of course provide some evidence that NATO said Ukraine could never join NATO? I guessing not
    10
  91. Russian economy is already in trouble
    10
  92. And when did Belarus join the EU?
    10
  93. Why? Believe it or not... not everyone has the desire to live in England
    10
  94.  @aatifrehman4150  only a fool would think a real referendum took place in Crimea
    10
  95.  @ЭЮЯ-о3к  A country that needs to raise its interest rate five times in one year is not the sign of a stable economy
    10
  96.  @xwilly5552  no one has forced these former Soviet states to join NATO. The only foreign power meddling in the internal affairs is Russia. The Soviet Union regualy tried to convert South American countries to communism, it was the Soviets interface.. There is no union, that's the problem people like you and Putin live in the past, Putin trying keep control of Ukraine he has been doing this for more than 20 years. The purpose of NATO is the same as always, it is to control Russian aggression.
    10
  97. Why did the "expert' not mention the biggest polluter is China
    9
  98. had a look at the value of the Russian currency recently?
    9
  99. Only in Russia can they sing about the glory of nukes
    9
  100. No thanks we don't need a USSR 2.0

  101. ​ @Robin.Burke-Optical_Collusion how can this be Americans fault?
    9
  102. She died of asthma, but if her mother was so sure it was the quality of air in London then why didn't she take her daughter and leave? There's is such a thing as parental responsibility
    9
  103. niether does Ukranie...
    9
  104.  @miguelmelchior986  so what are you saying, that to be European you must be part of the EU??? Are you serious
    9
  105. 😂
    9
  106. @Sean Pan in the controversial 2012 election which led to mass protests in Russia, Putin polled 107% of the votes in Chechnya hence why no one trusts election results in Russia anymore
    9
  107.  @hs342  so you have nothing
    9
  108. All that would do is encourage more and hand Lukashenko a victory
    9
  109. No it means that Russia has greater control over Germany and do not think that Putin would not hesitate to use this advantage
    9
  110. It's because they arrived on tourist visas, they were told this would be an easy way to get into the EU but of course it would still be illegal
    9
  111. They probably have little choice
    9
  112.  @JR-vc4gm  check out trade between the EU and Cuba before posting

  116. You of course didn't watch the video

  117.  @MrTOPDAWGKILLER  and you are a doctor in which area?
    9
  118. tell that to Tibet
    9
  119.  @sr-71667  depends on what?
    9
  120.  @randalwalker7200  Putin already took care of that by making any subsequent referendums illegal.... you don't really think Russia is a democracy?
    9
  121.  @bkay7781  NATO aren't terrorists Russia is, why you think so many former Soviet Republics and Warsaw pact countries joined NATO?
    9
  122.  @xwilly5552  Did Russia destroy all its weapons? No Does Russia keep to the treaties it signed? No Should we disband NATO? Absolutely not, it protects the world against people like Putin. You're trying to imply no threat exists because there is no Soviet Union, but that a child like view. There are Russian troops in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia they are meddling in the internal affairs of these countries, you simply place your hands over your eyes and pretend that Russia is innocent.
    9
  123.  @wesleygoncalves6391  the problem was caused far more by the UK being the EU and simply relying on cheap labour rather than training UK citizens and paying them a decent salary. There's been a global shortage of building materials..... was that the fault of Brexit?
    8
  124.  @diegoflores9237  no we're actually allowed to challenge our governments, we can be critical of our leadership..... good luck trying that somewhere like Belarus, North Korea or even Russia. People like you have no idea what the real world is really like
    8
  125.  @nedludd7622  nope it's doing fine considering the last year
    8
  126. you know you're not allowed to watch YouTube
    8
  127. yeah you don't understand English do you
    8
  128.  @k.t.5405  I'd think that the population was smaller back then and people didn't travel as far and wide as we we do now
    8
  129. no, not even close
    8
  130.  @ronnelacido1711  because you actually need a genuine reason to apply for asylum
    8
  131.  @keracsvminya8778  You made a claim but have failed to explain your reasoning. Why is the situation in Ukraine not good? Could it be Putin has done everything in his power to destroy Ukraine?
    8
  132.  @ИринаЛукьяненко-ь3ъ  Russia doesn't need Ukraine.....so why can't Putin let go? Ukraine doesn't need Russia that's the point here
    8
  133. Switzerland is nowhere as neutral as they try to appear, Ukraine has every right to determine its allies it's not up to Putin
    8
  134. and the fact that majority want to go to Germany?
    8
  135. They just like to give the appearance that they are regimes that are legitimate
    8
  136. RT are lucky they can open anywhere given their constant lying
    8
  137.  @felixmoyoedonmi  and you did your medical training?
    8
  138. actually he was correct
    8
  139. Bulk Russia is in Asia, anything past the Urals
    8
  140.  @The_story_teller57  so you're saying Putin gets to dictate what alliances Ukraine can make, that's exactly what you are saying. You may want to look at the history of the region and then you might understand why there is so much distrust of Russia
    7
  141.  @ИринаЛукьяненко-ь3ъ  glad to see you understand that without nuclear weapons Russia is nothing. Oh you don't appear to have a real Russia name, so what are you?
    7
  142.  @krishnkant9477  the result was we found out that Arab people are still centuries behind the rest of the world with their tribal mentality
    7
  143. Dialogue with Russia is pointless, Putin only responds to actions
    7
  144.  @darkmatter5424  if Germany did not invade the Soviet Union it would have only been a matter of time before the Soviets invaded Germany
    7
  145. Well let's see when the Soviet Union collapsed Poland turns to the west and now has a relatively successful economy. Ukraine turns to Russia and now its one of the poorest country's in Europe....... Spot the difference?
    7
  146.  @nedludd7622  tell me why are fish caught in British waters by French fishermen OK to sold in the EU but not the exact same fish caught by British fishermen? The answer is of course simple the EU is run by Soviet style dictatorship. These financial companies have not left the UK, they've set up headquarters within the EU. The mass exodus of businesses and people that was predicted by people like you just never happened
    7
  147.  @nedludd7622  and there you go demonstrating why people like you lost the referendum with your childish remarks. If you're basing UK economic success on the fishing industry then no wonder you have a very distorted view. There are other world markets out there besides the EU and the UK is making good progress in finding new partners. Again here we go with the US scare stories, we already had and still have a good trading relationship there..... must really upset you 😄
    7
  148.  @leninatlas7979  you know absolutely nothing about Ukraine or the situation, the west is not the aggressor here they have not invaded Ukraine, Russia has so stop being an apologist for a dictatorship

  152. Completely agree with eggs at no point did I see any fuel or food shortages..... some panic buying in the South East pounced on by the media

  153. You need to stop bringing up the past and trying graft modern day attitudes on to those from hundreds of years ago

  160. 😄 Yes there's no corruption or poverty in Russia. Maybe if Putin left Ukraine alone and stopped trying to destroy the country you would not have this dilemma.

  188.  @williampatrickfagan7590  what shortages??? I seriously not seen any of the alleged shortages
    6
  189.  @kromm-li7ek  Yes of course they are worse off, Putin has illegally stolen Crimea, he's started a civil war in the East, he's built a bridge that has effectively cut off the major Ukrainian port of Mariupol, he's also illegally claimed the Sea of Azov to be Russian all of which you appear to support. Stealing gas? And let me guess who made that claim? There would have been no coup if Putin hadn't directly interfered in Ukrainian politics, but again you don't care about things such as that. You just like all the other fools who believes the Kremlin narrative have no idea about Russia or Ukraine. Putin fears a successful Ukraine

    6
  192.  @renanvinicius6036  You have zero evidence that talks with NATO were actually taking place in 2014, all you do is keep making the same unsubstantiated claims over and over. The UN refers to Crimea as being occupied by Russia. Ukraine was in talks with the EU over an association agreement to which Putin objected to, the president of the Ukraine had promised to sign the agreement but backed out due intense pressure from Putin which included economic blackmail, this is what led to the protests in Ukraine. It had nothing to do with NATO. A agreement that has now been signed. You obviously have no idea about either Russia or Ukraine, you simply have an obsession with NATO Don't waste time with whataboutism games, Syria is a dictatorship whose own people tried overthrowing the brutal regime.

    6
  197. Really? And you know this because?
    6
  198.  @nangelov  Between 1st January and 2nd July there was 51,281 deaths involving covid only 640 of those had been vaccinated. You see it's very easy to find out that you are lying about vaccinated deaths
    6
  199. That's the problem, Lukashenko won't let them decide.
    6
  200. Clear your ears out even this heavily biased report only said "some"
    6
  201.  @alexsilent5603  I've seen so many people such as yourself make the same claims without actually showing the alleged video
    6
  202. Russia has done far more than just putting troops on the border...... that's the difference
    6
  203. @Alex W Murdering civilians isn't fighting, the point being when they had to face real soldiers..... they ran away and hid
    6
  204.  @prajodcp7145  troll
    6
  205.  @lenazubova6692  the right for Russians to decide who leads them no longer exists, Russia is a dictatorship
    6
  206.  @alexsilent5603  so we're just supposed to ignore the fact he's been president this time round since 2012? He keeps manipulating the constitution to keep himself in power, he increasd presidential terms from 4 to 6 years for example. If you think he's going to give up power in 2024 you're delusional
    6
  207. So why are so many people desperately trying to leave?
    6
  208.  @Mrcerilio  next do a little fact checking
    6
  209. @margaret from who?
    6
  210. 90% of Greeks are Eastern Orthodox Church yet they celebrate Christmas on the 25th so what are you talking about?
    6
  211.  @InternetYesterday  there maybe an initial impact, but the energy created is green and to be honest I wasn't impressed that she avoided the question
    6
  212. you'd blame the west if your toilet didn't flush
    6
  213.  @bedfil  Liars? Yes you're right Canada was built by immigrants, I should know. You did however completely miss the point, the country is being fundamentaly changed and you've got your head buried in the sand or snow
    6
  214.  @ДорианГрей-ъ4ш  may be if Russia hadn't treated those countries so badly they wouldn't be rushing to join NATO
    5
  215.  @divelea  you're not wrong, but Georgia is a popular place due to the fact that they don't require visas
    5
  216.  @gregandkaruna6674  being in the middle of nowhere has an advantage at last
    5
  217.  @kentwelch8787  yeah sure you do.... The overwhelming majority of doctors health care professionals recommend that you are vaccinated
    5
  218. You think dictatorships are a good thing?
    5
  219. And the source of that figure is?
    5
  220.  @Sabbatius527  it's become the new swastika
    5
  221. So Lukashenko had a opposition activist killed and you decided to throw mud at Ukraine? Ukraine has along with Lithuania and Poland has helped many people escape the torture and death in Belarus
    5
  222.  @luishernandezblonde  again you're shifting the focus away from Lukashenko and turning your hate against Ukraine..... I can only assume there's something personal going on. If as you inply Ukraine isn't a good place or safe place then why do so many Belarusian activists choose it as a safe place to go. No I think you have some kind of agenda
    5
  223.  @shawnhennity1769  the real world not the dictatorship supporting one you live in your mind
    5
  224. no we don't believe you because you have no clue about Belarus or Eastern Europe
    5
  225.  @darkmatter5424  you need to talk to an historian they'll explain to looking back at the past through modern day eyes just isn't realistic..... times were very different. But of course we live in the here and now where China occupies Tibet, enslaves the Uyghur, brutally surpressed democracy in Hong Kong, threatens other nearby states, builds illegal Islands, ignores international law.... Shall I go on?
    5
  226.  @YumiiNoona  Afghanistan looked to the Taliban. Syria? Talk to Russia. Libya, Iraq? Destroyed not by the west but feudal Arab tribes who refuse to cooperate with each other
    5
  227. Russia has already forced the Russian language on Ukraine's people in the past
    5
  228. You do know you're talking about the Soviet Union and not Russia
    5
  229.  @СергейДолгих-з6ч  too early to say who or what was the cause
    5
  230. I think you're being overly sensitive, they report on covid globally. Getting reliable information out China is difficult as it is with all autocratic governments
    5
  231.  A Star  really?
    5
  232. No because the flight wasn't hijacked No because the people taken to Guatanamo were captured enemy combatants, that's what happens in wars prisoners are detained
    5
  233. ​ @CheGuevara58 yeah sure whatever you say
    5
  234.  @yaroslavmsk1  22 years what? Go try living in Russia without speaking Russian
    5
  235.  @JP-wg4ny  true but how many arrived via commercial flights?
    5
  236. they should support democracy something you don't find in Russia now
    5
  237.  @matthewcurry3565  you'd pick China or Russia over anywhere else? Tell me have you lived in either or even visited?
    5
  238. either it didn't happen or you're not looking hard enough
    5
  239. Both speak Russian so that would be my guess
    5
  240. Even if the people living there wanted to become part of Germany Russian law would block any attempt to hold a referendum on the subject. Ironic considering that they claimed that the people in Crimea had the right to chose to become part of Russia. Of course now because of Russian law people living in Crimea have lost that right to choose..... that's Russia for you.
    5
  241. The UK drain? Keep dreaming
    5
  242.  @tat3179  increased wages, businesses actually training British citizens in necessary skills... of course explain why this is a bad thing
    5
  243.  @alp196  so you're going down to the whataboutism route now, is the UK stoking up violence in Ireland? Supplying terrorists in Ireland? This about Ukraine's rights don't bother trying distract from that
    5
  244.  @ТеодорЯворський  no they didn't and I doubt you're Ukrainian making that comment
    5
  245.  Penny Neiman  You complain about poor education yet you can't see it says " The US stays on top as number one in the Education Ranking"? I think you just wanted to see what you wanted to see.
    5
  246.  @ilovebeer6283  OK Russian expert, why are Navalny's political rallies always suppressed by the government if he has so little support?
    5
  247. don't understand the economics of Russia do you
    5
  248. no it was occupied by Russia, there's a difference
    5
  249. It's ordinary people standing up against a dictatorship........
    5
  250.  @ziedyacoub8488  and the rest
    5
  251. losing what???
    5
  252.  @AlteLiebeHSV1896  oh must have spent ages trying think of that reply didn't you
    5
  253. OK what racist comments have you seen?
    5
  254.  @ИринаЛукьяненко-ь3ъ  Russia has had to go crawling to China to help recuse the Russian economy, but of course China will take advantage of Russian weakness because Putin is a narcissist
    5
  255.  @alexsilent5603  Russia is a failed state, run by a man who has done nothing to grow Russia. All Putin has done is swander the resources while making himself very wealthy
    5
  256.  @honved1  really? Why?
    5
  257. do you even know what the Geneva Convention is?
    5
  258. Perceived aggression..... they've illegally taken Ukrainian territory, they are supporting brutal terrorists in the east that's reality
    4
  259. No such report exists, at least not anything that would support your point of view
    4
  260.  @iche9373  It's Belarusian as in White Rus it's not the same thing as Russian
    4
  261.  @flaviusbelisarius1408  when exactly did you sell your soul or have you always supported dictatorships?
    4
  262.  @rudolfgunther9686  what brings American presidents to power? Its called voters, that ended in Russia in 2012
    4
  263. Yeah sure, in that fantasy world you live in
    4
  264.  @Comrade_Tokoloshe  people like you are constantly predicting this, guess what? It's not going to happen
    4
  265.  @gilangthehuman7713  Belarus is a dictatorship a fact that Lukashenko is proud of. The EU has sanctioned Belarus because of the human rights situation, the brutal crack down after the last election. Belarus literally hijacked a commercial aircraft just to arrest a journalist, more sanctions followed against Belarus. Most recently the Belarusian sprinter Krystina Timanovskaya who took part in the Tokyo Olympics was granted asylum in Poland. So now Lukashenko is taking his revenge
    4
  266.  @dustybootraveler  the facts are Lukashenko is doing this because out of revenge over over EU sanctions. Now I'm not aware that Turkey is being sanctioned, so no they are not exactly the same
    4
  267. Russia is running out of money
    4
  268.  @cte4dota  you missed out poverty and repression. Also whilst the language is similar it isn't the same, but of course you wouldn't know such things. Putin has been trying to get Belarus to become part of Russia for years but they just keep saying no
    4
  269. As soon as they say the magic word "asylum" then apparently not. Of course the irony here is because Poland has said that its laws come before EU law they are sending people back, for which the EU is fining them one million euros a day
    4
  270.  @albefuctivino1488  here we go the if we trade with the US we'll need to sell the NHS........how many years have you people been claiming that? We ALREADY trade with the US
    4
  271.  Cletus Poirier  I'd like one of them explain why in the EU we never progressed so far in a football tournament
    4
  272.  @jmarksproul  it appears to matter very much to Putin, it appears he cannot stand the prospect of losing another former Soviet republic to the west
    4
  273.  @bliss7185  how about Russia leaves countries like Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia alone first? When the Soviet Union collapsed the west pumped billions into Russia to keep Russians from litterly starving, where was Putin? He was deputy mayor of St Petersburg were he was busy embezzling funds for which he was narrowly saved from prosecution by the mayor.
    4
  274.  @季磊-c2j  the "colanizer" kept to its agreement, the CCP didn't keep to this. Why should the CCP honor agreements? It's very simple without the west there is no Chinese economy. Every year thousands of Chinese citizens escape China to live in the west, many seek out a new life in England, why? Because China is still mentality living in the Middle ages
    4
  275.  @e3498-v7l  he clearly broke UK law and was sentenced, but you don't even know what happened because you don't actually care about Assange
    4
  276. not really.....not a problem if English is your native language
    4
  277. And if Snowden had stolen classified documents from Russia? That would be OK
    4
  278.  @alexsilent5603  bots are easy to spot, same rhetoric every time
    4
  279. because it isn't true would be my guess
    4
  280.  @Freak-px9uk  there's no comparison
    4
  281.  @kentwelch8787  oh yes I keep forgetting everything you read on the internet is 100% true
    4
  282.  @alvaro701  and?
    4
  283. Lousy weapon then given so many can have it with no symtoms
    4
  284. And this has what to do with the video? You need to find another forum
    4
  285.  @jarveyjaguar4395  cavemen who hid in their caves or Pakistan until the NATO forces left
    4
  286. he brought peace to eastern europe and the Soviet Union had already collapsed
    4
  287. @Hannibal Sulla really? If the economy is doing so well why is the currency half the value it was in 2014? Debt, here we go again. Debt is only a problem when you can't actually afford it, Russia has no debt because institutions are reluctant to lend Russia money and don't waste my time claiming that Russia does not need money. Exactly how do these gold reserves benefit the Russian people and economy, you missed out that part.
    4
  288. you can lead a horse to water.........
    4
  289.  @Ass_of_Amalek  oh you must be talking about the safe zone NATO set up in Kosovo to stop the Serbs who were supported by Russia from committing genocide
    4
  290.  @a.p.3004  You educate someone? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day
    4
  291.  @djouadjete3838  Lancet publishes articles it does not write them..... but by all means stick your head in the sand and ignore a globally regarded publication
    4
  292.  @sr-71667  OK explain why
    4
  293.  @keracsvminya8778  please don't tell us that Putin does not put pressure on Lukashenko to follow Russian policy
    4
  294. They're nothing but dictatorships
    4
  295. And allow dictatorships freedom to commit murder
    4
  296. So you believe it's better to support a dictatorship rather than a democracy
    4
  297. You have evidence of nuclear weapons in Ukraine? No of course not. Russia should have kept to the Budapest Memorandum before you demand anything from Ukraine
    4
  298.  @aldeno8055  I shows us Russia can never be trusted
    4
  299. ​ @kingb3 yes you've been claiming Ukraine would only last a few weeks
    4
  300.  @kovauo1180  Poland is an EU member, what's your point? Ukraine as a sovereign country wanted to sign an agreement with the EU but this angered Putin this a fact.
    4
  301.  @BalkanMode  the west didn't create the Taliban
    4
  302. No for independence from Russia, pointless following them now
    4
  303.  @Just_another_Euro_dude  no such surveys cannot tell you a lot... because they are far too focused on a specific topic and often don't reveal the questions asked..... I can easily give you examples on how to manipulate data
    4
  304.  @alexsilent5603  I'm not wasting my time searching for something that doesn't exist, you're just another one who claims that there's a YouTube video that proves everything you say. 😄 You just don't see the contradiction in your claims
    4
  305. a global conspricy that includes Russia and China??? Sure that sounds believable
    4
  306.  @TheKkpop1  so you're just going accept the word of the CCP without question...... Oh dear. We're talking about a government that restricts knowledge to its own people and you think they're going to be honest with you?
    4
  307.  @ziedyacoub8488  You have no idea what communism is, China is not a communist country
    4
  308. Bottom line is Lukashenko lied to them
    4
  309. hindsight.....besides it would be difficult to refuse entery to a large number of people who most likely hold a UK passport
    4
  310. A lot of wanna be Russians who have absolutely what Russia is really like
    4
  311. So you support dictatorships rather than democracy? Then move
    4
  312.  @overlord4404  yes actually I do understand
    4
  313.  @alexsilent5603  each year Putin is in power you become less free. There is no democracy in Russia, this is not just my opinion
    4
  314. You're definitely not English
    4
  315. The EU needs to get a grip of its borders, it's understandable that the US would have concerns over covid given the current situation
    4
  316. who said Ukraine is going nuclear? More kremlin lies
    4
  317.  @davidnoelfranks1124  espionage is a crime in most countries including Russia

  318.  素食吉祥净心净土  tell that to Tibet
    4
  319. What of EU parliament don't you understand?
    4
  320.  @Andrew-ob5ij  again it's cultural.....and even though they have such laws in Singapore there not really enforced.
    4
  321. Yes immediate floggings should be ordered for any mispronunciation
    3
  322.  @dejanjovanovic9364  Actually yes I do think the west cares about Ukraine. Ukrainians want closer ties with the west which the west was happy with of course though Putin wasn't. By the way you do know that both the US and the UK signed a treaty years ago where they pledge to defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine? The aggressor here is Putin not the west.
    3
  323.  @Borderman47  and if businesses hadn't relied on cheap Eastern European labour we wouldn't need to issue those visas. I voted to get us out of the the EU dictatorship, I voted for well trained well paid British workers
    3
  324.  @DJ-hf3qq  where I live we have no shortages, so France is doing well? Not according to your unemployment rate
    3
  325.  @DJ-hf3qq  over 3 million people from the EU have applied to stay in the UK.... Obviously they don't mind Brexit
    3
  326.  @MiSt3300  So China is tackling pollution by building even more coal fired power stations? 😂
    3
  327. What exactly do you suggest?
    3
  328.  @andersonsantucci9325  but what something? Send in troops and risk war with Russia? Sanctions? They have two problems they tend to only hurt the ordinary people not the leaders, just look at Russia. Also I can't see Europe wanting to do anything to damage their own struggling economy. The other problem is whatever Europe did they'd just be driving Belarus even closer to Russia which is exactly what Putin wants. In fact Putin has openly said he wants Belarus to become part of Russia.
    3
  329. A German with a Russian name? 😄
    3
  330. they just did
    3
  331.  @iche9373  new?
    3
  332.  @rudolfgunther9686  democracy is an alien concept to people like you..... so educate yourself first before preaching to others
    3
  333. Belarus said they'd cut the gas but I think Putin said that ain't going to happen
    3
  334. South Korea is considerably smaller
    3
  335.  @zalpman  no agreement was ever made that backs up your claim, I can guarantee youll never find anything to prove that. It's actually very simple to disprove because the people making that claim have completely missed the point. Wanna take a guess at the major flaw in your statement?
    3
  336. he doesn't support any rights
    3
  337.  @HOMEOFTHEKI11ER2FKtuff  so true
    3
  338. EU nations just aren't prepared to spend what it takes
    3
  339.  @cte4dota  I'm not claiming that the EU is perfect, they are however far better a choice than Russia. The British turned their backs on Poland??? As for Ukraine its economy is growing from strength to strength despite Putin's interference
    3
  340.  @VivalaryMan  please don't bother me with that old chestnut, no freedom is not an illusion. It's just that some nations are considerably more free than others
    3
  341. how many deaths do you want to see before you'll take it seriously?
    3
  342. No...show Russia any weakness and thry will take advantage
    3
  343.  Sebastian Dellesandro  Nonsense, Germany is complicit in all of this. If you'd bother to read the original comment I was agreeing with it was in regard the relationship between Germany and Russia. Germany as was pointed out says one thing and then does the opposite when it comes to Russia and by supporting Russia, Germany is supporting Belarus. So will Russia put pressure on Russia? No of course not. Soon once Nord Stream 2 is up and running Putin will have a firm grip on the German government.
    3
  344.  @alexsilent5603  you understand that you insult the memory of those people who actually were.... well done
    3
  345.  @Buckets1000  really you think vulgarity advances your point of view? So being a member state of the EU a nation to give up nothing? Well if that's what you think then I I'd have to accuse of being delusional. An EU member state is required to sacrifice a large proportion of its sovereignty and as I sit back and watch they EU is slowly taking more and more
    3
  346.  @laubowiebass  you might want to edit your post
    3
  347.  @CalvinK300  get real, the withdrawal was announced last year. Of course you probably think that the Taliban ask people nicely to follow their barbaric cult
    3
  348. Obviously Putin
    3
  349. Of course Russia will always support dictatorships and crush civil rights
    3
  350.  @alexwars8327  so are you saying that the French Prime Minister did not say that the UK must be punished for leaving the EU? Ok you want an example I see... French fishermen can catch fish in UK waters and sell them in the EU OK? The exact same fish caught in the exact same waters but by British fishermen are subject to intense scrutiny and regulation...... Oh you bet that they are trying to punish the UK
    3
  351.  @Buckets1000  so why didn't the SNP achieve a majority then if there is as you claim........ wishful thinking that's all your comment is
    3
  352.  @amoslukyaa5792  hardly just one accident of a Russian aircraft. Given the huge numbers of 737 aircraft when compared to the Sukhoi the 737 is statistically safer
    3
  353. It is Ukrainian territory now in control of radicals financed and supported by a foreign government, how do you think Putin would react to the same situation?
    3
  354. more Kremlin lies
    3
  355. You are Russian?
    3
  356.  @chrisbarber3531  Support Putin? A man who supports a dictatorship that hijacked a commercial aircraft? Support Putin who gave a surface of air missile system to a group of people who can best be described as terrorists. These terrorists then shot down a commercial aircraft and then Putin did everything in his power to cover up the fact. I could go on there are many examples of such crimes, however you will ignore all of these simply because you don't like the US
    3
  357. Not your decision

  358.  @HELESPONTify  I seriously doubt you know anything about life in either country

  363. Yes China definitely gave them something....... Covid
    3
  364. Putin can simply not be trusted, he has shown he does not respect treaties, he has shown he is a pathological liar
    3
  365.  @pietdev.4648  At no point was it ever suggested that the Russian language was to be banned. It was proposed that all official government papers be in Ukrainian. Is it really unreasonable to expect the actual language of a country be used in official documents? Russia promised by the way to keep the Ukrainian language in Crimea, but of course they lied about this. I suggest that you read the official UN reports concerning civilian deaths where you'll find most are caused by the terrorists that seized control placing their heavy weapons in civilian areas. Don't make comments without checking the facts first.
    3
  366. there is no justice in Belarus.........
    3
  367. Yawn.....Ukraine doesn't target civilians unlike Putin
    3
  368. really? any evidence? I only ask because Belarus took all their phones away
    3
  369. the Soviet Uninion was bankrupt and needed reform but it was Yeltsin who declared independance from the USSR
    3
  370. why?

  371. What fuel shortage?

  372. If you're talking about the presenter he is from DW Africa...

  374. A number of problems here, She did not refuse to run the 200 it was the 400 relay. Now you're either haven't got a clue or you're being deliberately misleading. You can't spell Belarusian? You use to express the distance as meter yet you claim to be British? Spotting career? To say you lack credibility is an understatement
    3
  375.  @e3498-v7l  this flight was ordered by the Belarusian military to land without a valid reason. No military ordered Morales flight to land or escorted it. I understand perfectly that you choose to ignore the crime here
    3
  376.  @Chaldon-hl6yk  enough with the conspiracies
    3
  377. nope they're not, don't try to hyjack the protest
    3
  378. How can someone who supports the CCP complain about rights violations
    3
  379. And when the Baltic states tried leaving the Soviet Union? Yes you'll conveniently forget that
    3
  380. Yawn..... time to move on kid
    3
  381.  @B1sher  I don't need to because I already know what happened. The aircraft had a technical fault with the fuel indicators, this is why it landed. The Bolivian defense Minister Ruben Saavedra said that the aircraft was not searched because Morales refused to allow this. Now where is the official complaint from Bolivia that the aircraft was forced to land, where is the official complaint that the aircraft was illegally searched? Do really think that the president of Bolivia would not make these complaints? Why would Snowden be on this aircraft? Now try to answer the questions without the usual conspiracy theories. If what you say is true then there would been a huge diplomatic incident
    3
  382.  @ФёклаШульц  Yes of course there was no Russian troops or bombers in Syria was there?

  384. So Forever.... you live in Belarus?

  385.  @TheToomykins  Russia is nothing more than a regional power that can't accept its position in the world is no longer what was. As did the Mongolian empire fade, the Roman, the Ottoman and the British. All it really has now is its status as nuclear power..... It is not a rival, it has already been eclipsed by China.

  387.  @megetmorsomt  OK so how is the Russian goverment going finance its self if they switch off the gas?

  388. The sanctions are very limited, but Lukashenko might try to take advantage of the situation and blame the west for other difficulties

  389.  @universe627  never ceases to amaze me how often people are so quick to support brutal dictatorships simply because they are anti-American

  417.  @e3498-v7l  I'm of referring to the sanctions to which you obviously have no answer or alternative. You claim that they do nothing, are you so sure about that? Your rant about the EU is not relavent here, take it somewhere else
    3
  418.  @fKek-yy8tz  I see just because someone doesn't support or withdraws their support makes anti that cause. That's a oversimplification to put it mildly At no point did he ever claim homosexuals were not human you've decided to make that assumption. The question is do they have equal rights or more

  419. More environmentally friendly? 😂

  421.  @zurie35  no it doesn't happen in the US every day, yes deaths by gun crime may be higher due to the increased availability of guns, but actual homicide rates are higher in Russia. Trolls such as yourself have no idea what Russia is actually like, you're only interested in pursuing your agenda at the expense of tragedies such as this one..... get a life

  422. so runing away and hiding in Pakistan while NATO occupied Afghanistan for 20 years was a victory??? Sure it was
    3
  423.  @Ehsan870  What war? The Taliban never fought the US they simply hid in their caves and in Pakistan. The US did not leave for financial reasons they left because the original mission was completed. Russia? Hilarious comment, the Taliban will turn against China very soon

  424. Sensible comment

  425.  @venom6885  you're trying compare now with the situation before the UK left the EU? The process for EU citizens is available on the UK government website, but this is for people that were already living here. You cannot come to the UK and expect these rules to apply, now EU citizens must follow the same rules as everyone else

  433. I'm sure that the Taliban appreciate your support

  434.  @xwilly5552  Gaddafi and Hussein were killed by their own people, the country was destroyed by Arabs not NATO. Yes of course there is undeniable proof that Russian troops are in those countries and they are not there at the invitation of those countries. Russia invaded Georgia and still has troops there, they invaded Moldova and still have troops there and of we know that they invaded Ukraine NATO troops are in Ukraine at the invitation of the government. There are only Russian troops in Syria helping keep a dictatorship in power who uses chemical weapons in clear violation of international law. There is no evidence of the US sponsoring regime in Ukraine or Nuland did any lobbying, I've already seen these claims and they have been proven to be false..... You're just repeating lies that were debunked years ago. Coup attempts? Of course Russia did not impose governments in Eastern Europe and the Baltic states. Assassination? Skripal, Navalny?

  451.  @milotura6828  Russian equipment is modernize? Really, such as? Because I actually do know what's going on. The economy drifts from crisis to crisis because the president of Russia knows nothing about running a successful economy. Weapons sales? Yes China buys a handful reverse engineers them and then sells them to the existing customers of Russia at much lower cost with the exception of India

  453.  @march3254  the people of Eastern Europe and Finland you question your historical knowledge as would the people of Tibet, South Korea and even the USSR. You have no evidence to support your claim regarding millions and millions. The US may have invaded some countries but only because they had already been invaded by the surge of communism or to rid the world of a brutal dictatorship

  461.  @ДорианГрей-ъ4ш  Russia is a Eurasian country not European, Russia doesn't even use the same alphabet that Europe does. With its current regime it has no place in Europe, it has chosen to isolate itself

  466. The Russian military is old and decrepit, they wouldn't stand a chance in a conventional war with NATO. Take away the nuclear weapons from Russia and they are nothing

  467.  @BorisOzma  I don't like Erdoğan but do you have any evidence to back up your claim? It makes no sense that he'd need provide flights and visas when Turkey already has no shortage of immigrants from Syria in the millions

  471.  @darkdan3379  the numbers of Russian military may be a little smaller than the the US but not by a huge amount and of course both China and the US have much larger populations
    2
  472.  PAJEET WHY DON'T YOU USE TOILET'S?  Yes relative cost, what is so difficult about that you don't understand? Russians would starve without Chinese investments? There is nothing ultruistic about China and the only sanctions that have a direct effect on Russian citizens are those imposed by Putin not by the west.

  478. Assange hasn't finished his sentence, as for the rest of your drivil 🤣
    2
  479.  @e3498-v7l  he has been sentence in UK, obviously you are not as informed as you think
    2
  480.  @e3498-v7l  he has only been convicted for his crime in UK with of course you don't care about. It has nothing to do with anything he has done elsewhere 😄
    2
  481.  @Alphysiker  no.... and this why I know you don't actually care why he has been convicted.... for you he is just a tool to use to complain about the west
    2
  482.  @tjmarx  OK why do you believe the extradition trial was political motivated? You're trying to convolute two separate things, at the time of his bail hearing he had not sought asylum. He stood before a judge and agreed to return to court on a predetermined date, he may or may not have had any intention of actually doing this but in a British Court of law he agreed to do so. The fact he did not return made him a fugitive under British law and liable for prosecution under that law. When the Ecuador embassy finally got tired of his continual abuse of their hospitality they kicked him out and he was arrested for the breech of the bail conditions. At no point has he ever made an asylum claim in the UK. So effectively when he left the embassy he had returned to the the UK without ever asking for asylum. Yes he on remand because obviously given his past he is considered a flight risk. His extradition was refused on one count only and that was on health grounds. There is currently an appeal pending which is why he is still locked up. Now prior to his expulsion from the Ecuador embassy he seems to have been in both good physical and mental health. So of course I'm suspicious of this apparent rapid deterioration that for the moment has blocked his extradition
    2
  483.  @tjmarx  I've pointed out exactly why Assange is currently in prison. I have asked you to explain why you believe the bail hearing or anything else was political motivated, simply saying it is doesn't make it so

  504.  @alexwars8327  are you joking? Either that or you are completely brainwashed. So you're saying a French boat can leave EU waters catch fish in UK waters with no checks and you're happy with that The speices from China are going to be completely different from those found in UK waters and we are talking about fresh not frozen. The simple solution is to ban French fishermen from UK waters if you want believe in fairness.. you of course agree???
    2
  505.  @alexwars8327  its the exact same fish..... yes we are happy to be free from the EU of course we expect tariffs and some regulations but I gave you just one example of the hypocrisy of the EU. The question is do you want to surrender your nationality to the EU? I was given a choice by our government, I decided I wanted to keep my citizenship...... There is is a myth that to prevent war in Europe we need the EU, that argument is false
    2
  506.  @rossellinirossicalrossc3507  why is it pointless? You're opinion seems very anecdotal, can you say that no teacher in the UK have ever decided to take it upon themselves to teach children about this stuff?
    2
  507.  @xLuye  there's zero evidence of a majority of the the Scottish people wanting to be independent

  508. Explain your reasoning to say Assange is being illegally detained
    2
  509.  @davidnoelfranks1124  something tells you left out the reason, could it be he's been remanded this time before his extradition case is heard? Last time he was let out on bail didn't go to well
    2
  510. ​ @MA-lq3gq  China and India still do
    2
  511. Is that all that's important to you?
    2
  512.  @luishernandezblonde  I question your apparent distrust of Ukraine and what motivates this. You don't like Zelensky why? Because his government has a relationship with Turkey? Russia has done everything to destroy the Ukrainian economy, Ukraine needs allies, trading partners to survive. You possibly do not understand the difficulties faced by Zelensky, he has to deal with such as Putin, a war in the East, a crippled economy and of course corruption. You've made some claims but provided no reference. You think I just pretend to support Ukraine? Do you know what a Ruthenian is?
    2
  513.  @Cairol58  I just like showing how little they and often their claims are nothing but fiction

  531.  @pietdev.4648  Ah so you started off claiming the Russian language was being banned and now it's just 'public communication'. It is as I said before it is a requirement for official communication to be conducted in Ukrainian... that is the fact. The reason why Russian is so widely spoken in Ukraine is because the language was forced upon them by imperial Russia and then later the Soviet Union. Given the fact that what is now Ukraine was settled before Russia it's fair to say that you've got things backwards, the Russian language hails from Ukraine. Ukrainian is Polish? 😂 They don't even use the same alphabet. You have no idea about the history of Ukraine
    2
  532.  @Jmp5nb  true, most people here don't understand that Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in an agreement that Russia signed which Putin broke hence why he can never be trusted
    2
  533.  @pietdev.4648  I suggest you actually read about this before referring to it, there is no comparison with Russofication 😄

  548.  Yuri Kovalenko  you have towns in Russia that don't even have doctors because healthcare salaries are so low, so don't bother just sitting there saying everything is going to be OK
    2
  549.  @Dmiliunas  you're right but it has been reported possibley not well enough
    2
  550.  @nsaurabh25  Who made Ukraine a Soviet republic? Yes corruption has been a problem in Ukraine however Zelensky is actively addressing this issue. The problem is the influence of Russia that in itself is far more corrupt than Ukraine, this is just not my opinion. On the corruption index Ukraine is at 117 out of 180 countries Russia is at 129. Yet you are only interested in corruption in Ukraine, why? Why should an oligarch be disqualified from the presidency? Do you think there are no oligarchs in Russia? The only people being targeted in Ukraine are corrupt oligarchs that try to use their positions to undermine Zelensky.
    2
  551.  @juliannaoprea650  I give a negative opinion of Putin and his government, there's a difference
    2
  552.  @kromm-li7ek  Putin has always tried to influence and control Ukraine, that's just a fact. The west is plundering Ukraine? Really, how? Why was Crimea never supposed to be part of Ukraine? Can you provide proof that Zelensky has a policy of ethnic cleansing? No of course not because it is a lie. However the same cannot be said about the situation now in Crimea. Did Putin sit back and do nothing when Chechnya tried to leave Russia? Yet you think that it is OK for armed forces to take Donbass from Ukraine... yes? I suggest you look into the Ukrainian economy before claiming that they have been betrayed, it is now stronger than before and is predicted to keep growing. Sorry if that truth upsets you 😄

    2
  556.  @e3498-v7l  well you're making the assumption that it was diverted by the civilian ATC and not the military yet we know that the Ryanair aircraft was escorted by a fighter jet from its planned flightpath, is this what you consider normal ATC procedure? The Ryanair aircraft was unlawfully diverted from its planned destination while in transit...... that's the dictionary definition of being hijacked

  557. Yeah UK is such a terrible place, funny how many people from Romania and Bulgaria have chosen to live there

  566.  @greorbowlfinder7078  not really spent any real time thinking it through have you
    2
  567.  @greorbowlfinder7078  Stone tablets? When were you last in a school. Kids shooting each other? So in what way exactly would being educated remotely change that? What old system? You mean the one that works? The In the real world a teacher can physically see the children do the work, using your idea they can't
    2
  568.  @Soraviel  not really there's no shortage of countries that tried communism and failed including the USSR
    2
  569.  @mijicmugendo  Have you lived in Russia? I guarantee Putin will find an excuse to switch off the pipeline in Ukraine and Germany despite it's promises will do nothing. This is the only purpose of Nord-Stream 2
    2
  570.  @mijicmugendo  Did I claim Russia was a superpower? It has a large arsenal of nuclear weapons including submarines that are nuclear powered and carry missiles. It does have the largest military in Europe but mostly served by conscripts with ageing weapons. But Europe is not going risk a war with Russia in any case. The EU has already put many sanctions on Russia but this has not changed anything. They can add new ones but this will not hurt Putin and he will as usual blame any economic problems on the west not on his policies. Germany relies far too much on Russia gas now.
    2
  571.  @kabzaify  They should expect compensation for the territory stolen by Russia, plus the real enemy of Ukraine is actually Putin. Exactly what choice do you think Ukraine made?
    2
  572.  @jamesbond4810  so you're claiming all of the tests results data we're given on the various vacancies is nothing more than a global conspiracy?
    2
  573. Fukushima had a lo to do with it
    2
  574.  @TheCelestialvision  You seriously think I don't know what caused the disaster at Fukushima? The point is that was the catalyst that saw Germany turning away from nuclear, when things go bad at a nuclear power plant they tend to go very bad
    2
  575.  @TheCelestialvision  you're completely missing the point, at no point have I suggested that Germany is likely to be hit by a tsunami, the point is nuclear power is incredibly dangerous. No Germany buys electricity from France, it does not buy nuclear energy.
    2
  576.  @davidnoelfranks1124  no they didn't invade, don't bother trying to be clever because you're not
    2
  577.  @davidnoelfranks1124  he has been charged and convicted of a crime in the UK, now stop wasting people's time with your ignorance
    2
  578.  @eugeneheeger3284  so why does Russia fear it so much?
    2
  579.  @nyebe6598  for someone who claims to have knowledge about law should at least know there are consequences when you break them
    2
  580.  @empe3332  they've been using gas supplies for economic blackmail for years, it's time to stand up to him
    2
  581. And you've personally seen this? 😂
    2
  582. @Rob I have and there was fuel at the petrol station and no empty shelves
    2
  583.  @OoLiiMiiT3D  and your medical training consists of what?
    2
  584. It's not an implication it's the truth, it's for the exact same reason Putin has so many meetings with Xi Jinping. Putin likes the domestic audience in Russia to see him with the leaders of the most powerful economies. I think he's still upset about being kicked out of the G7
    2
  585.  @TheToomykins  Central Africa isn't a country, Russia has a limited presence there either way, but it isn't likely to last much longer because of China. What is Russia doing in Syria, simply helping a dictator remain in power. That is probably what the differentiates Russia from the west, their desire to keep in place dictatorships..... but is this Russian values or just the values of the leadership? No it is just a regional power, with a shrinking influence, it has happened in much of Eastern Europe and it will continue to do so
    2
  586.  @kovauo1180  Ukraine has the right to join the EU if they choose, it is not Putin's decision. You only need to look at all the former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pack that have joined NATO to understand no further no one trusts Russia
    2
  587.  @kovauo1180  you need to buy a map Ukraine does not border the Mediterranean Sea. You have no idea what you're talking about, Gibraltar is British territory it is not Spanish. The Crimean peninsula is Ukrainian the fact it is occupied by Russia does not change that.
    2
  588. yes the US admitted their mistake straight away
    2
  589. Yes don't bother Putin????

  590. She wouldn't be the first German leader to be given such a position

  591.  @megetmorsomt  China? Is that a joke? Why do you people keep thinking that they are allies? China will bleed Russia dry and ruin the economy.

  592.  @ThePaladino  So if someone chooses to move into your house and they don't ask you.... you're happy with that?

  593.  @BB-bv6uq  this has been going on long before Biden was elected.
    2
  594.  @peppersghosttheater  and exactly how has Russia suffered because of the US? Also aside from Iraq where a brutal dictatorship was removed, how has the Middle East suffered?
    2
  595. The one stolen by Russia

  596.  @ernstwiltmann6  exploit what? We're constantly being told Ukraine is an extremely poor country... So again exploit what?
    2
  597.  @scratchy996  completely agree, as the younger generation comes through his popularity is definitely on the wain, but even older Russians are tired the poverty he has delivered to a country apparently so rich
    2
  598.  @vesnatadic9740  your solution?
    2
  599.  @jjtighe8628  Both military and civilian, it's not like Russia has denied they have troops on the the Ukrainian border, but if you want to believe some radom person making another unsubstantiated claim then go ahead
    2
  600.  @jjtighe8628  again why isn't Russia denying that they have troops on the Ukrainian border? But of course you'll just try and be clever by asking pointless questions...... however trust me you're definitely not clever
    2
  601. Another 40 million deaths
    2
  602.  Mc Lovin  please explain why this is fault of the west?

  603. Putin in case you haven't noticed supports dictators, why? Because he is one
    2
  604. you're the joke
    2
  605.  @1man1bike1road  you're trying to conflate the Mujahideen with the Taliban but they are not one and the same, if we we were to however surely you would be blaming the Soviet Union/Russia for their creation..... of course though you have another agenda
    2
  606. Because he wasn't
    2
  607.  @user-xr4bo3ln6f  as opposed to Chinese troops marching in Red Square? The current situation in Ukraine has been caused by Putin. Putin couldn't bare to see another former Soviet state seeking closer relationships with the west, but you wouldn't care about that.
    2
  608. @margaret in comparison with governments like those in Belarus and Russia people in those countries yes my government cares a thousand times more
    2
  609. Russian currency half its value.....says everything
    2
  610. Really? Why do you think China is in talks with the Taliban?
    2
  611. Boycotted events in Saudi Arabia, Putin however went to Saudi Arabia to congratulate them
    2
  612. because they control half of Europe

  613.  @daveo2431  I'm offended that people choose to use such a tragedy to promote their political views.... Yes I find such people reprehensible

  614. ​ @Squashed8Ball he's a troll who has never been to Russia
    2
  615.  Penny Neiman  depends on the the report... Others actually put the US at number one
    2
  616.  @theroman2130  I think you completely missed the point
    2
  617.  @hovawartfreunde4599  I think I gave enough details so you find out that information yourself. But you can't be bothered? The fact that so many people send send their children to the US to be educated should be enough evidence
    2
  618. Billions of euros, of course when they have to start paying their own way attitudes will change very quickly
    2
  619. @Håkan Bråkan Kråkan simple question really is Poland a sovereign nation? Britain still wants to eat cake? 😂 The UK has a the right to live independently without being subservient to the EU
    2
  620.  @crazyshorts4278  and you've asked the EU to confirm this? You have no idea when it comes to the relationship between the two
    2
  621. Really...how do you figure that one?
    2
  622.  @chrisviaegnatia4347  no you wanted me to look at sources that support your opinion that doesn't mean that are honest
    2
  623. It's Bela... rus not Russia, Rus are a Slavic people, Ruthenians

  624.  @ticktockbam  not even close to being the as Russia or China .......yes a huge differance user guidelines and government censorship

  625.  @gabenewell3955  no there's people out there posting blatant lies for a variety of reasons.

  627.  @rea6186  you speak for of Russia now? 😄
    2
  628.  @hape3862  so why does Germany import electricity from France?
    2
  629.  @donb4263  Germany does not do war? You have got to be joking
    2
  630.  @EscudoPadraoPrata  They have little foreign debt because international money markets don't trust the Russian government, it has nothing to do with the the economy. Do you want to quote the gas prices from 12 months ago? Prices will fall again you can guarantee that they will, there's been a sudden increase in demand that has had a temporary effect on prices. The EU is not their only clients? Please don't tell me you're thinking of China? Russia is not the only source of gas of oil in the international markets, if Russia couldn't sell gas it would collapse, its state budget is funded by gas and oil sales, you're living in a fantasy world if you think Russia could cut sales to the west. Without Swift Russia would be isolated there is no alternative and why should other nations support a Russian created system? Ah another prediction that the dollar is on the verge of collapse, never going happen in your lifetime

  634.  @guohaodou5635  why? This particular version of DW is in English so viewers may not be completely familiar with the reasons, so it's a valid question asked on their behalf

    2
  640.  @evonerfin3  Taliban don't wear uniforms or insignia, they hide within the civilian population and you wonder why mistakes can happen? They also aren't worried about giving false intelligence. We spend billions on smart technology to avoid civilians, how much does the Taliban spend?
    2
  641.  @josfur1977  really? Easy for you to make such a claim but of course it has no substance......none of the doom and gloom scaremongering claims have come to be, sorry if the reality upsets you
    2
  642.  @shinoaburameful9820  so you want to bring Stalin back?? Good luck with your McDonalds, Burger King ,Subway KFC.....
    2
  643. Ukraine is fighting a foreign backed group on its territory.... Do you think Russia would do any different?
    2
  644.  @ilovebeer6283  nope the rallies were banned because Putin fears a growing opposition
    2
  645.  @ilovebeer6283  YouTube has rules on what they allow. I see that you have never been or lived in Russia because there is far more censorship...... but you know that 😉
    2
  646. Not very familiar with Ireland are you
    2
  647.  @tehehehy6444  zero evidence that anything you claim is actually true... No has actually claimed it prevents infection, you really have no idea how vaccines work
    2
  648.  @randomguy4989  well you'd be wrong calling it the Ukraine
    2
  649.  @randomguy4989  besides the point? 😂 Believe me there's nothing you can explain to me about Russia, Ukraine or the current situation. The interview was about how ineffectual the EU is and where of course the situation with Ukraine and Russia was discussed. Now sanctions have been in place since 2014 but because Russia is an authoritain state they had no effect on policy that doesn't mean however they've had no effect.
    2
  650.  @randomguy4989  no it is the point you can't even get the name of country right and yet you feel your qualified to educate myself and others about Ukraine. I pointed out that to say the Ukranie is wrong in exactly the same way saying the Germany is wrong and let's be clear it was you who first felt the need to try to correct the original comment without even bothering to check the accuracy of what were saying. I'm focusing on the original comment made in this thread is there a reason why I should take on another tangent? Of course it's expected that you'll give up trying to justify an untenable position 😄
    2
  651.  @senaaaa  when RT claims that the US has over 101 million unemployed people you know they can't be trusted
    2
  652.  @senaaaa  the fault lies with you
    2
  653.  @senaaaa  so because I will not watch RT it is because I only use FOX or CNN??? How do think they arrived at the figure of 101 million of unemployed? Did even bother to think about? Even before 2014 they were very unreliable and biased I can't imagine how bad they are now
    2
  654.  @alexl7559  are you suggesting that they could not have paid privately for a vaccine in Germany?
    2
  655.  @alexsilent5603  ah yes..... the did you see that doesn't actually exist
    2
  656.  @jensuwe22  anyone see it's actually more than possible to receive the vaccine in Germany for free or pay for it through a local doctor. I already looked into this possibility
    2
  657.  @michaelpetrovich5353  not very familar with the situation are you
    2
  658.  @xxxxxx-rg6qr  flawed logic, ethnicity is the excuse that Putin uses to attack Ukraine.
    2
  659. Unfortunately it's unlikely.... We know Lukashenko is behind this

  660.  @flowerapril4710  come back when you can understand English
    2
  661.  @TheKkpop1  right so you're just going to attempt to shutdown any questions regarding the CCP and their policies of information control. Yes I can see why you'd find that uncomfortable. Buy a dictionary and look up the definition of a troll, because random insults really don't work
    2
  662. Yeah sure Russia supports India while arming China
    2
  663.  @MerryXmasMfkrs  I would say as far Crimea is concerned he saw an opportunity and took it something that raised his mediocre popularity to record levels because Russians considered it part Russia before the conflict. Russia already has NATO and the EU on his border with the Baltic states. You're right he is behind the conflict in the East despite his constant denial, he cannot stand to see another former Soviet state turn against Russia and become part of a western alliance.
    2
  664.  @AnalzeThis  you've never read the Russian media or talked to any Russian people, but please provide your evidence that the majority of Russians are happy to take the vaccine
    2
  665.  @AnalzeThis  you can't learn about Russia watching YouTube news channels 😄 There are no free and fare elections in Russia, they are not evidence of the popularity of the government. There are Russian sites where you can see the results of public opinion in Russia, obviously you found none of this on YouTube. Navalny support is low because he is prevented from appearing in the the mainstream media in Russia, his public rallies and speeches made illegal by Putin. You know nothing about what life is like in Russia
    2
  666.  @dankokovacevic  there was only one attacker in this incident and whether they are taken alive in such instances usually comes down to the attacker themselves
    2
  667.  @水戸水脈  no overthrow took place during the Olympics, you mentioned alleged call that was leaked but you apparently have no idea of the content. I've seen these old claims that you make there is no truth in them
    2
  668. No... that's just the voices in your head
    2
  669.  @saikyawzawheain989  yes but she denied anything was happening
    2
  670.  @MrRedsjack  In 2019 she went before the International Court of Justice and actually defended the military, just to save herself?
    2
  671. Has Russia ever denied the presence of the troops number? Pointless attempt to try to undermine the truth
    2
  672.  @nancyk7954  did you read what he wrote? Or do actually think allowing criminal gangs should be able to profit from this?
    2
  673. Whose territory does NATO occupy?
    2
  674.  @matthewbaynham6286  yeah you can really draw comparisons between the UK and New Zealand.... Oh wait there is quite a bit of a difference
    2
  675. odd that you haven't mentioned the jump in prices in Russia, if Russia wants tp price its self out of the market then fine.........we'll standby and watch the collapse of the Russian economy
    2
  676.  @weFromRussia  and exactly how long will the high gas prices last? "We're already seeing problems with the Chinese economy which will have a direct effect on prices and Europe is moving towards renewable energy which again will effect gas prices. You could probably fool most people with your claims regarding stability of prices in Russia, but I'm not most people and I know better
    2
  677. Troll
    2
  678.  @triedtofail  I take your point regarding guerrilla warfare, but what we're seeing isn't that now. It's terrorism, it is an evil ideology that can attack the defenseless and yet there are sick people who actually support this
    2
  679. OK why?
    2
  680. Of course you did, you wouldn't want the truth upsetting you
    2
  681.  @bingbong7316  well there findings are actually back up with facts that have been confirmed by governments. The fact that the Russian government is refusing to allow an autopsy and hiding behind diplomatic immunity tells me that Bellingcat are right to be suspicious.
    2
  682.  Super Bad  I'd advise you not to comment on a topic that you know nothing about

  684. In a treaty signed by Russia and broken by Putin
    2
  685. You did watch the video?
    2
  686. In case you missed it Ukraine lost a substantial amount of territory because the EU wanted a trade agreement with Ukraine. Besides Nord-Stream 2 has nothing to do with transit fees through Ukraine
    2
  687.  @John_Doe448  so I'm not allowed to point out that someone making a comment actually has no idea what they're talking about? They are of course free to challenge my comments, but they obviously never do, but feel free to try
    2
  688. You're delusional if you think the UK is going to rejoin that dictatorship called the EU
    2
  689.  Nic Sae  more friendlier trade partners, such as? Russian debt is low simply because the international money markets doesn't trust Russia so doesn't lend money to Russia. Gold sitting in Putin's vaults helps Russian people how? Russian relience on gas and oil sales are actually its Achilles heel, Putin has sat back and done nothing to diversify the economy
    2
  690.  @fKek-yy8tz  explain what was homophobic about what he wrote
    2
  691.  @fKek-yy8tz  can you highlight the text where he said he doesn't want gays to be considered human or have equal rights? No of course you can't because at no point did he say any such thing

  692. you don't have a clue when it comes to corruption in these places

  693. You have no idea about the situation in Russia

  694. There's nothing to stop any individual country in the EU using it.... Hungary does for example

  695. It's irrelevant that Ukraine is not a NATO member, NATO needs to stop Russian aggression

  696.  @r3dpowel796  size isn't really relevant just look at Venezuela with its size and resources. Another failed socialist state
    2
  697.  @forefatherofmankind3305  you know it never ceases to amaze me how often people simply make assumptions based on nothing other than the fact that I have a different opinion to yours. I don't need you trying to lecture me on narratives it's pretty obvious you have your own. You're trying to personally attack me, ridicule me, by all means knock yourself out if that sort of thing makes you happy. Of course it only demonstrates the weakness of your point of view when you need to stoop to such levels. I'll just sit back with a smile on my face knowing that you are clueless

    2
  708.  @ilovebeer6283  The people of Belarus are the ones saying the election was not free and fair, also the people do NOT get to choose who monitors the elections that decision is made by Lukashenko. So you're claims regarding the people in Belarus not trusting us are based on a lie you simply made up. You have no say for that reason
    2
  709.  @ilovebeer6283  yes of course you made it all up, your comments simply come from a hate of the US you don't know anything about Belarus and you certainly don't care what happens to the people who live there.

You're also ignoring at least two treaties that RUSSIA signed acknowledging Crimea is Ukrainian Khrushchev was born in Russia, he was Russian, anyone can check that out for themselves. Oh the irony that you mentioned Kosovo, a place Russia refused to recognise.

  735.  @dejanjovanovic9364  there are western troops already in Ukraine ready to defend it. Yes I'm aware how poor Ukraine is, this is precisely why they want to break free from the influence of Russia who have kept them poor. Where has the west been for the last 20 years? When the Soviet Union collapsed the west financially supported Ukraine, they have supported democracy in Ukraine. Russia has of course done the opposite. Ask yourself why so many former Soviet republics and satellite countries are now NATO members?

Who told you that there's no apprenticeships, no City and Guilds? Because you've been seriously misinformed. I'm more than fully trained and well paid in my occupation. How do you expect people to become qualified and well paid if they don't receive the "training"? Every country has done with covid? Italy, Spain? I saw the news about Germany how people were complaining about the lack of vaccine, many had to go to Russia for this.

  753.  @renaldisoeryadi2183  people like you keep claiming there are shortages, really? What shortages? You don't live in the UK so you have no idea. I'm not seeing any queues for food or fuel.... Sorry to disappoint you but it's just media hype. Brexit chaos? Really how so? Because I'm not seeing all the rioting and protests such they have in France in the UK, now that's chaos. The best decision the UK ever made was to leave the dictatorship called the EU.

Again what exactly is it you think I can't buy? Because there is nothing I can't, because there's no real shortages Energy crisis? There's no power cuts of either electricity or gas, prices have increased but that's the same situation all over Europe and not just the UK. If you'd bother to check the increase in gas prices for all of Europe for the last year you'd see the problem..... nothing to do with Brexit as usual.

You are right though that Putin is far more comfortable sacrificing people than any western powers would.

There's no way you can can know if there are substantial reserves of rare earth minerals in Afghanistan so why bother making a fool of yourself by making such comments

  787. @Dapper Canuck you've been getting your news from Kremlin sources..... the Kremlin lies, want some examples? My advice is to read reports from the UN and Amnesty International if you want to know what's really going on in Eastern Ukraine. The war crimes, the atrocities are being carried out by people financed and supported by Putin. Did they gain control by popular support? Nope they did so through extreme violence and guns. Did they allow allow Ukrainians in areas controlled by them to participate in Ukrainian elections? No of course not, they have no interest in democracy. So answer this question if you can.... why do you support violent terrorists? Is it simply because they have the support of Putin?

  810.  PAJEET WHY DON'T YOU USE TOILET'S?  Yes Russia has had sanctions imposed on them by the US and others, but the suggestion that only China can now trade with Russia is a lie and can easily be disproved. You appear not to even know what sanctions have been imposed. Russia begged China for an investment of $70 billion? Where have I heard that figure before? I've never claimed that China and Russia are friends, but much of Chinese military technology is stolen Russian technology....

  882.  @dibaygautam2076  not having free university education is hardly evidence of the UK becoming poorer.... you'll need to do better than that. Healthcare systems have been badly affected by the pandemic but either way it still does not indicate that the UK is becoming poorer..... these are just desperate claims
    1
  883.  @dibaygautam2076  why should ordinary people subsidise university education? We already have too many people in university that have no business being there, too many universities offering pointless courses that have no practical value..... so no I don't see why I should pay for these. You're trying to argue the only reason we now charge is because the UK is a poor country, slight flaw in that argument. You can't even get your basic facts right, the government does not charge tuition fees, the government mearly sets a maximum amount. Your anecdotal claims are just that, your claims.... there is no shortage of people who will of course say the exact opposite in regards to the NHS not that I actually believe you. Using my professional experience I know we could double the amount we fund the NHS and they would still want more. There simply is no accountability in the NHS when it comes to how it's financed, but you wouldn't know that so lack of money is not the problem. Not every medical condition requires an MIR scan and although they have benefited medicine we have managed to get by without them in the past

We're simply not prepared to keep rerunning the same vote until she gets her own way and I'll think you'll most Scott's are tired of this also

  885.  @dibaygautam2076  all I'm seeing are comments from someone who is a fool. This country is the 4/5th richest nation on the planet regardless of any of your insinuations. It's hilarious that you actually suggested that the US has free higher education when it's well known that it has the most expensive, not to mention healthcare which isn't actually free in most if not all EU countries. This country does not charge anything for higher education, how many more times? The educational institutions are now allowed to charge fees up to 9000. Now if you bother to check your facts you'll see only approx 25% of students will actually pay for their courses in full..... you did know that didn't you? Because we actually have a very fair system when it comes to student loans. Our healthcare services are free and as I've previously mentioned widely respected. Sure by all means pick a few examples where things sometimes go wrong but trying being long term ill in somewhere like the US. Now while I'm not suggesting that the UK has the best health care in the world it is ranked in the top ten according to CEO world rankings. Who says we're not training our own doctors building new hospitals? You? I've seen no police station closures where I live, or plans to close any. You'll need to name a country that hasn't at some point needed bring in austerity measures, your arguments are nonsense. The UK has a stable economy which is why it is and has always been seen as a good investment. Russia and China, is that a joke? Russia goes from crisis to crisis because there's been no diversity in the economy, it is nothing more than a kleptocracy. China? You should try watching the news occasionally, the country's economy is crashing, the Chinese debt bubble has burst and we are seeing major defaults affecting Chinese companies. The country's influence has gone down? Says who? Ah illegal wars? Let me guess people like Sadam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad are all heroes of yours, you're another one who supports the most vile people throughout history. If you want to know how the government is funded I'm sure that information is available on the government website. Strange you chose not to mention any of these superior news channels.

  900.  @luishernandezblonde  My attempt to criticise you? I have simply asked you to explain why you hold such opinions. I pointed out that that Ukraine has a problem with corruption but I disagree that it is corrupt in nature. Ukraine has a history of choosing the wrong friends? Did Ukraine join Putin's EEU? Yes it joined the CIS in 1991 but that was a very different time than now and Ukraine is no longer a member. Do you know why they are fighting Russia? I suspect you do not. Ukraine wanted to sign an association agreement with the EU but of course Putin was not happy with this so he put pressure and probably bribed Yanukovych not sign the agreement. It was at this point people began the Maidan protests which led to Yanukovych fleeing the country and the war with Russia. The association agreement with the EU has now been signed but you are claiming Ukraine do not look to Europe? Ukraine would like to have a closer relationship with the EU even membership but this is being blocked mainly by the Netherlands. Now you claim they are turning away from Europe to Turkey but I see no evidence of this, yes they will have trade with Turkey. But the EU has trade with Turkey, the EU has an association agreement with Turkey does this mean that the EU is equally corrupt in your eyes as Zelensky? You can't be critical of Zelensky for having a relationship with Turkey and not feel the same way about the EU. Ok the crackdown on the media in Ukraine... most media in Ukraine is owned and controlled by the oligarchs many of whom are corrupt and seek to protect their positions. Some of the media is actually controlled by people who are pro-Putin. So please explain what you would do about this situation if you were Zelensky?

NATO waging wars all around the globe? Such as? NATO has seen that Russia or more accurately Putin cannot be trusted so have taken steps to insure member states borders by moving troops within ITS borders. Most US military bases are actually research stations not vast bases full of troops. The US is in these countries because the US has many allies because the truth is that the US isn't aggressive. On the other hand Russia has few international allies so very few bases outside Russia.

Absolutely not
    1
  981.  @claudermiller  it's not a question of what I believe it's what I know. These comment sections are full people such as yourself making these unsubstantiated claims, the reason why they are unsubstantiated? Because it never happened. Yeltsin took over Russia when the country was broke and oil prices were at rock bottom, Putin on the other hand took over just as we began to see record prices. If Putin had come to power when Yeltsin did he'd be a foot note in history.
    1
  982.  @alexsilent5603  no, this never happened because you are not Russian. In Yeltsin's first year he first traveled to Germany, then Kazakhstan, France and then Germany again. He did not travel to the US until his second year.
    1
  983.  @claudermiller  yes the Soviets left Yeltsin with a bankrupt country forcing him to sell state assets. Without those oligarchs paying the salaries of the employees in the industries they bought things would have been even more difficult. Also don't for one second think Putin got rid of the oligarchs, he only got rid of the ones didn't support him. Don't bother trying hang the AIDS epidemic on him either, that's just a sign of your desperation. You think Putin protects people against foreigners in Russia? You have no idea.

  987.  @e3498-v7l  hijack........ unlawfully seize (an aircraft, ship, or vehicle) in transit and force it to go to a different destination or use it for one's own purposes
    1
  988.  @e3498-v7l  😄 Civilian aircraft are diverted for a variety of reasons, typically bad weather or serious incident at their destination. It is not routine procedure to have the aircraft escorted by a fighter jet. 😂 These are extremely sophisticated aircraft using modern navigation systems both in the air and ground. They do not require an armed escort to make such a diversion. I actually know a considerable amount when it comes to aviation both civil and military for a good reason 😄 Now there was no problem at Vilnius International Airport and there was no adverse weather. The aircraft was in perfect condition so there was no reason to divert this aircraft. So what lawful reason did Belarus have to interfere with this particular aircraft, it was actually closer to Vilnius than Minsk. What was the good reason to take such drastic action? If you cannot say the reason for this diversion, then yes it was hijacked 😄
    1
  989.  @tjmarx  Yes I believe that the individual also claimed that it was routine for a diverted aircraft to be escorted by the military, do you believe that is also a reasonable conclusion? The issue here is why Belarus diverted the aircraft whilst it was about to leave its airspace. Belarus is liable under the UN International Convention on Civil Aviation, the Chicago Convention. It seems increasingly likely that Belarus broke that law so effectively hijacked the aircraft. No aircraft with Snowden on board has ever been intersepted... Your point is what? Prisoners at at Gitmo are those captured during the Afghan war..... Let me emphasise the word WAR. During WWII captured German prisoners were sent to prisoner of war camps in Canada. So removal to another country of captured enemy combatants isn't exactly unprecedented..... So what hypocrisy are you referring to? Let also point out that in WWII captured soldiers out of uniform were often shot on the spot, so a trip to Cuba wasn't the worst that could happen.

Russia simply doesn't have the resources or the allies to establish bases anywhere near the US and certainly Mexico has no intention of hosting them

  1051.  @yogawan3805  so copy and paste the the agreement, but you of course won't be the first to make this claim and yet fail to deliver. There were no classified documents regarding what you are claiming. If such an agreement was already made then Putin would constantly refer to to this in respect to Ukraine, he does not because the agreement you are claiming is nothing more than a a internet myth

  1052.  @tassiek2450  did the US just sit back? Of course many in America didn't see why they should become involved in a European war, ironically it was the Soviet Union who was very instant that the US US did exactly that

  1055.  @RuleofFive  the Taliban made no real attempt to fight the US, there was no siege of American forces. The Taliban are nothing more than a vicious cult that terrorise ordinary people. The US could have easily pulled out after Bin Laden was killed, but they chose to stay and at least try to help the Afghans help themselves. From what I understand many Afghans have been offered a new life in the west but realistically we can't take everyone.

  1062.  @nice_one421  where is it written that to assist them they must be in NATO or EU? They signed an association agreement with the EU so that makes them allies of the west. If you sit back and allow Putin to take Ukraine I guarantee you he will not stop there, your problem is that you don't understand Putin
    1
  1063. Well there's no guarantee he wouldn't use Nord Stream to blackmail western Europe he's done it in the past. But are you seriously suggesting that we allow him to create a Soviet Union 2.0? Because it didn't work out so well the first time around. No sitting back and letting him do as he pleases is a serious mistake. Are you familiar with the phase... those who fail to learn from history are doomed to keep making the same mistakes

  1089.  @Proxymated  Your opinion is neither here nor there, Putin thought it was worth being a member he even hosted a summit in St Petersburg. Putin has a need to project himself to the Russian people as a global leader the G7 gave him that platform. When he was kicked out he made the fateful decision to ally himself with China
    1
  1090.  @Proxymated  no Russia wasn't invited back, the claims made by Russia that the G7 are useless were only made AFTER Russia was kicked out. I can sleep very well at night because we can be extremely critical of our leadership without fear of imprisonment. When a leader alters the constitution of a country to allow them to remain in power, take it from me you're living in a dictatorship

  1091.  @СоняФилина-и7х  Russia can try to ditch the dollar nobody will care. You've only served to prove my point by suggesting a joint action with China. You think China is your ally because this is what you are told to think but the truth is that they are a larger threat to Russia than the US

  1098.  @megetmorsomt  you see this the problem with people like you, you know absolutely nothing about Russia and China. Because in 2014 Russian trade drop off a cliff Putin was desperate to sign contracts with with other countries in order to show Russia didn't need Europe. So along comes the circling vulture of China who negotiated a contract where Russia would sell gas to China at 2014 prices for the next 30 years. Of course if prices dropped below that value China would receive gas at the lower price. It's going cost Russia more to extract the gas than the price that China is going to pay for it

    1
  1122.  @universe627  the UN pointed out that the separatists backed by Russia were using their heavy artillery next to civilian buildings putting the lives of the people there at risk, why does Russia allow this? When Chechnya tried to become independent the capital was bombed by Russia so much independent observer's described it appeared like a nuclear bomb had been dropped on the city. In Syria Russia is using unguided weapons killing many civilians. Russia has invaded Ukraine not the US, Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine not the US. There is no financial advantage for the US or NATO to be in Ukraine, you're writing nonsense Russia is the one responsible for the situation in Ukraine because Putin wants to control the country
    1
  1123.  @jjtighe8628  warmongering? Russia currently has troops in Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, these troops are not at the request of these countries. I can also give you a history lesson regarding other conflicts Russia has been involved in, they are not even close to being peaceful

  1128.  @hilbertschema  don't bother manipulating statistics to try to make a point..... they are the largest polluters on the planet. You really don't get it do you 😄 Yes for now these flights are for the wealthy but the same thing applied to early commercial aircraft flights in the 1930's .... however today that isn't the case is it? So stop looking at the short term and start looking at the big picture. Although this craft took off and landed at the same location that doesn't mean that they couldn't land elsewhere. Flight times using this technology will go from hours to minutes. So by all means keep living in the past if you want while the rest of us look forward to the future
    1
  1129.  @hilbertschema  I'm well aware how these figures are arrived, context isn't really relevant though is it. Using the shear size of the population to make it appear that they are not a substantial polluter is dishonest. You're really not getting the second point. OK you say a commercial aircraft are useful and can travel incredibly quickly (yes I'm not including military aircraft because there's no direct benefits for ordinary people) OK how quickly do they go? You say that's not true of space.....well yes today that is true but I can easily say the same thing applies to aircraft back in say 1910, do you not see the flaw in your argument? So there's no real reason for any "normal" person to go up there? Well extended that argument and there's no real reason for anyone to visit the pyramids of Egypt, the canals of Venice, the Great Wall of China... and so on but in reality we do. I suspect you're real objection is that currently commercial trips into space are only available to the wealthy. Well Branson doesn't use regular rockets and both he and the others are actively looking into alternatives... not true you'll claim but the idea of people driving electric cars was science fiction not that long ago. They are not working to make space travel less expensive? Seriously is that your idea of a joke? OK even you must be aware that they've invested heavily in renewable technologies which is driving down the cost. One of the reasons people want to invest in technology that gets us in to space is because of the resources out there. Early commercial flights only the rich could afford them, early computers only the rich could afford them, early phones only the rich could afford them....... are you not seeing the common theme here?

Let's be 100% clear people are already suffering, people are already dieing..... in my opinion doing nothing isn't an option.

The real power is held by the European Commission not the parliament. The European Court constantly overrides the courts of the individual countries. quoters for fishing, farming, air emissions and so on are all set by the EU Commission

Yes there are webcams in polling stations in Russia and video of voter fraud has become available, but this goes beyond what happens in the ballot box. The elections in Russia are not free and transparent, the observers are foreigners that are pro-Putin they are not independent. Charges against Navalny have been fabricated this is just one way Putin controls his enemies. I know nothing about Russia? 😄 You'd be surprised

Is corruption an issue in Russia, absolutely yes. There have some terrorists attacks, I couldn't give you an exact figure. There's been two wars in Chechnya, the cause being a desire for that region for independence. Not entirely sure what you're referring to when it comes to central southern Russia.

    1
  1261.  @WalkOverHotCoal  Again just how long do you think NATO should have stayed in Afghanistan? In perpetuity? No at some point the security of the country had to handed back to the local government, it just happens that the decision was taken that now was that time. The terrorists were hiding in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban, they represented a ongoing threat to the safety of the US so doing nothing wasn't an option..... 9-11 wasn't the first attack on the US remember. We know that Bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan the fact he eventually fled to Pakistan isn't really relevant what is relevant is sending out a clear message that there is no hiding place for such terrorist. Folk tales aside the US had to show it wasn't prepared to sit back and allow such attacks to continue.

    1
  1290.  @ewoudalliet1734  Congratulations you've demonstrated that you have no idea how the EU or EU commission works. It very funny how you mentioned the power of the the president of the United States, at least he elected by the citizens of the United States. The EU commission is not elected by the citizens of the EU, you understand that? Only the EU commission can decide what legislation can be discussed by the elected EU parliament. They can decide to either accept or reject any decisions made by the the elected EU parliament, now are you seriously suggesting that this democratic? So if it's not democratic then it can only be dictatorial The EU parliament does not appoint the EU commission, an example of this is the current EU president Von Der Leyen, yes they voted for her, but how other candidates did the commission put forward?
    1
  1291.  @ewoudalliet1734  no its clear you don't know anything about the the EU or the commission and now you want to engage in whataboutism by talking about the US? The US is far from perfect however it far more democratic than the EU. So the parliament can "request' legislation, yet the commission is not obliged to accept this request and yet you keep insisting that this is democratic???? And yes the EU commission can veto any decisions made by the parliament The UK has an elected government, made up by people who have actually have been elected, there is no comparison between this and the EU. You really don't understand UK politics if you do.

  1332.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  Russia cannot afford to stop selling gas to Europe, if they could they would. As for China they've already started demanding the return of territory they consider to be their's this includes Vladivostok. As I always said you can never trust China
    1
  1333.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  supremacist ideas? I ask again if Russia doesn't like the the criticism from Europe then why are they trading with Europe? Unlike most people here I know exactly why because I've spent a lot of time in Russia so I can see Russia cannot afford to stop doing business with Europe, they need the money and technology from Europe. Same goes for America, in Russia you cannot avoid seeing American cars, restaurants or movies. So bother trying to claim Russia can be independent because I know better, Putin did the worst gas deal in history with China back in 2014 and now Russia is paying the price. Russians are getting tired of Putin
    1
  1334.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  no Germany is not a colony of the us, the opposite is true the bases are there because no one trusts Russia and given what happened in Ukraine they are right. The US opposes Nord Stream 2 a fact that can be easily verified. You complain about US military bases overseas but Russia has these one in Vietnam for example. Yes Russia has fewer bases but for two reasons, they have fewer allies and Russia cannot afford these overseas bases like America I already told you I've spent a lot of time in Russia so your claims on passenger aircraft are very funny. Out about 40 or so internal flights in Russia I only flew on one Russian aircraft the SS-100, Airbus is the most popular manufacturer in Russia. The SS-100 was developed in partnership with Boeing and most of the critical systems such as avionics are foreign manufactured. It's not actually a very popular aircraft, in fact Putin had to order Aeroflot to buy the aircraft. The MC-21 is not even in service at the moment and I seriously doubt it is completely Russian built. Technology in Russia is mostly from China or Japan, even the phones from Russia use the Android software although Apple iPhone's are very popular. I've shop in Russia including M.Video so I'm well aware of the truth about Russia, only poor Russians buy Russian products
    1
  1335.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  I work for a German manufacturing company that wasn't in Germany and do know what? The German managers spoke German. I've already told I've been in Russia, I've been in electronic store so I know the majority of products are not Russian. Putin claimed to have a COVID vaccine however has it been independently verified? The answer is NO. Drugs other products in Russian pharmacies don't actually list where they were manufacturered I know this because I have some in my home, so you cannot make claims regarding where they come from.

  1336.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  no all food is not Russian, in fact Russia still imports some food from the EU just not those on the banned list. Foreign wines and beers are also wildly available. Russian space are from old designs from the 1960's which use technology from 1940's Germany. Fuel is not technology you simply extract it from the ground. Russian submarines might be impressive, but ships especially that old aircraft carrier? No. Russian nuclear technology? You mean like Chernobyl? Russia stole nuclear technology from the west. Russia was in no position to object to German reunification at that because the country was bankrupt and could not afford to maintain its military presence so do not claim it was an act of kindness or I will remind you of the billions of dollars given to Russia to support what was left of the economy. I need a visa to visit Russia and this has never been an obstacle so why should it be for Berlin?
    1
  1337.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  very few nations see manned space flights a good use of resources and prefer to use unmanned ships this includes Germany amongst others. Russia will never ban foreign wines or beers you're making that claim up. Russia is only useful to Germany for gas and oil however these will eventually be gone and then what? Western nations including Germany are developing new technologies for this day. Russia has already tried to be self sufficient when it created the Soviet Union it failed then it will fall again. You plan to cooperate with China? Good luck with that!

  1338.  @АнтонНовиков-ш6ж  not likely, even with all of the gas and oil Russia has they are still not as wealthy as Germany the same goes for their citizens

However Bolivian Defence Minister Ruben Saavedra said Morales' plane was not searched because Morales had refused Austrian authorities entry. I strongly suspect the whole incident was most likely orchestrated in Russia to make western governments look bad.. Assange is currently in prison for I think less than a year because he failed to attend court as HE had agreed

The west is perfectly entitled to trade with who it chooses, if it chooses not to trade with Russia then that's their free choice and it is not illegal in any way. No construction projects in Russia make the oligarchs even more rich by stealing money from those projects
    1
  1362.  @ЭЮЯ-о3к  I'm not talking about counter sanctions, Russia has used sanctions and threats on the former Soviet states. I can read the news from Russia and Know that the situation is not as you claim, so I can only assume that you make this information up, not that this surprises me. The US prevents Europe from trading with Russia? I know for a fact that is a lie. The only free apartments are in places no one wants to live, so you obviously live in a terrible place. It's no secret about the oligarchs in Russia, so they are no ones fantasy..... Envy is a waste of energy

  1366. No.... Austria did not order the Bolivian aircraft to land, did you not ask yourself why it needed to land?
    1
  1367.  @nenojovanovic9360  nope they didn't, the president's aircraft reported a fault with the fuel indicators and asked to make an emergency landing in Vienna. If you are suggesting that this was deliberate, then remember that the aircrafts departure was Russia. What possible reason could they believe Snowden could be on the aircraft?
    1
  1368.  @mistergeopolitics4456  The Saudis did actually investigate and I believe executed several people for the killing. There is suspicion MBS was behind it, the CIA have said that. However Putin with a extremely large trade team couldn't get to Saudi Arabia quick enough to start selling them weapons. Putin has no problem selling weapons to whatever dictatorship will buy them
    1
  1369.  @mistergeopolitics4456  they're probably as through as Russian investigators, who investigated the murder of another critic of Putin. Where the murderers had the excellent good fortune to pick a night when all the Kremlin security cameras were off
    1
  1370.  @nenojovanovic9360  when I claim the US hadn't sold weapons to Saudi Arabia? The issue is Putin would gladly supply them. Also no one is looking at the other side of the coin when it comes to Yemen. The Houthi who it has been established use child soldiers are being supplied by Iran an ally of Russia
    1
  1371.  @nenojovanovic9360  this Bolivian thing has been milked to death. Neither the US, EU or NATO forced the aircraft down. Now it appears to have developed a fault requiring it make an emergency landing. There's zero comparison with what happened in Belarus.

  1373.  @war8036  not your decision.....you don't understand situation, you're most likely just anti-west so blindly support Putin regardless
    1
  1374.  @war8036  😄 As I said you don't understand the situation or have a clue about Russia. With the exception of approximately 9 years Russia has been an autocracy, Russian leaders do not care about the laws or public opinion. You're also seriously underestimating NATO capabilities compared with those of Russia. Initially the illegal annexation was largely supported in Russia but that support is dwindling every year now with people asking is the economic cost actually worth it..... that is the reality in Russia today. My advice is stop relying on YouTube videos as a source of information.
    1
  1375.  @war8036  and there's the predictable response 😄 You don't like what I say therefore it's repeating the US state department or the western mainstream media..... what next are you going to accuse me of being CIA? It's obvious that you don't know how things work in Russia or what it's really like. I'm guessing you don't even know how many Russian citizens actually trust Putin? You have no idea how funny I find people like you, pretending you actually know what you are talking about 😄

  1389.  @anomanderrake96  got any evidence that Moldova owes that money? Maybe Putin should think about removing Russian troops from Moldova before complaining about unpaid gas bills

  1390.  @anomanderrake96  I see you know all about confidential gas contracts but you don't know about the Russian troops, tells me everything about you

  1391.  @anomanderrake96  well isn't this typical, you're happy to make unsubstantiated claims but I have explain my comments I guess using Google is beyond you Moldova's incoming president Maia Sandu has called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from a breakaway region at the border with Ukraine. In her first news conference as president-elect, Ms Sandu said Russian forces never had permission to be in the separatist area of Trans-Dniester.

  1410. Really? Which ones?

  1411.  @cloudpoint0  manufacturing a vaccine under licence isn't the same as developing your own which is why I asked the question.
    1
  1412.  @cloudpoint0  Are you seriously going to try to correct my English? Good luck with that. The point is however the vaccines they currently produce were not developed by themselves. Now are they actually developing their own or just copying what they've got and rebranding it.
    1
  1413.  @JimBarcelona  and here we have another one obsessed with Vietnam. They gave up? 😂 Tell me why did the US go to Afghanistan? You're trying to draw a comparison with situation in Afghanistan and a conventional war. There was no battlefield, the Taliban refused to engage with US and NATO forces. Using your flawed logic the US would have had to have remained in Afghanistan in perpetuity. No the US achieved their original mission, they then proceeded to help establish a government and train local forces to defend THEIR country. So go away and stop pretending you have a clue about what you're talking about
    1
  1414. @H Tran remind me again why did the US go to Afghanistan?
    1
  1415.  @fahadiqbalshah479  another one obsessed with Vietnam. The US did not go to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban. The US isn't Russia, it's not an autocracy. It achieved what it originally sent out to do, staying in Afghanistan forever was never an option. It helped establish a government and help set up and train an army.
    1
  1416.  @gb-cb5xm  It's common knowledge why the US went to Afghanistan..... It's also well known that they achieved their goal yet people keep insisting they failed???? The reason why such claims are made are obvious and shouldn't need any explanation.
    1
  1417.  @sergeikhripun  believe it or not I and several hundred million people are aware of where he was when he was eventually killed. As for your other comment it's up there with the earth being flat or that other classic that there's no such thing as as space. Please don't waste my time such nonsense
    1
  1418. @H Tran Oh let me guess now, you're going claim that the CIA was responsible for 9-11. There's no strategic value in spending billions in setting as you claim a 'puppet government' Your theories are just a fantasy of yours.
    1
  1419.  Nova snow  Which why the US has trained an Afghan army
    1
  1420. @H Tran There was 3 options 1, After Bin Laden was dealt with leave Afghanistan. Of course you complain that NATO has left Afghanistan in ruins and left the country in chaos. 2, Once Bin Laden was dealt with help established a democratic government, help train the Afghans to defend themselves. But of course you complain that NATO is leaving Afghanistan to the Taliban. 3, After Bin Laden was dealt with NATO should never leave Afghanistan. But of course you will complain NATO is nothing more than an occupation force in Afghanistan that rules over the people of Afghanistan. So the truth is no matter what NATO does you will always complain about it because you are anti-west.

  1421.  Easternperspective  The Soviet Union was already bankrupt after 10 years, there was no chance they could continue fighting in Afghanistan

  1423.  @Ah_Yote  I've already explained that the Taliban wouldn't fight a conventional war and restored to gorilla tactics, but they essentially hid from NATO

  1428.  @6_saadhassan_9  You are of course wrong on every point. It is no secret why the US went to Afghanistan, why NATO became involved. It is also common knowledge that the mission objective was achieved in 2011. The mission was never to build a nation a new Afghanistan...... It is simply time now for NATO to hand control of Afghanistan back to the government. The Taliban have won nothing, the US forced them to hide in their caves, run and hide in Pakistan for 20 years 😄
    1
  1429.  @Ramirez83786  IED's, gorilla style sneak attacks, no has claimed NATO troops haven't been killed although I suspect not as many as you think. But the Taliban never engaged in a conventional war, they'd have been slaughtered if they tried. Do they wear uniforms or insignia? Nope of course not, oh they're happy to show themselves to unarmed civilians of course.

  1430.  @Ramirez83786  So they didn't fight NATO in a real war

  1431.  @CZAC  I didn't know you were the account for NATO...... or you have access to the statical data. Actually I know you don't. I'm just a curious as to what you support people who are happy to kill their own. Your post however does reveal something 🤔

  1442.  @iMetmor  supporting protests isn't the same thing as arranging them, you do understand that? Of course you have no problem with interference by Putin, the economic blackmail and bribery but you object to cookies being given out? The amazing thing is how people would want Ukraine to be a slave state of Russia

  1443. @Robert Johnson NATO is a military alliance nothing more than that, the fact the members are already closely aligned politically should not be a surprise. The EU by the way is constantly at odds with the US over trade in particular, so check your facts

  1444.  @DiggingFrance  It's irrelevant what you think because it would require the assumption that the French government is the hostile entity in this case which it clearly is not. The Geneva Convention does not apply here.
    1
  1445.  @DiggingFrance  can you highlight the text where I said forced medical procedures should be allowed? That said I believe in the case of mental illness a court can make an order to allow this, but none of this is relevant to the Geneva Convention regardless of your paranoia
    1
  1446.  @DiggingFrance  the Human Rights Act isn't the Geneva Convention you are just trying to conflate the two. It is wild speculation to suggest that the virus was released as an act of war, you do understand that this a global pandemic that has a very low mortality rate. This has not only affected China but its close allies and not just what could be perceived as unfriendly nations. The vaccine is not untested, it has been subject to clinical trials results of which can be found in medical journals such as the Lancet and at no point have I suggested that people be forced to take the vaccine. However it's clear that governments throughout the world view this with great concern given the measures they implemented. So hypothetically speaking if we were facing a highly contagious deadly virus it would be appropriate to enforce compulsory vaccination regardless of any current legislation which can always be amended when necessary.

  1449.  @DK-ij4qt  I'm naturally immune to tuberculosis but that doesn't mean we shouldn't inoculate those who aren't. The article is nothing more than a very brief mention of a study concerning people who have previously contracted covid. The problem I find with it is the complete lack of empirical data supplied...... no numbers, ratios supplied. Also exactly how does this help those without these ultra potent antibodies?
    1
  1450.  @DK-ij4qt  yes but not all stem cells are the same and type needed to treat something like covid are the embryonic type

  1461.  @mr.rusvector8249  not even the top 10 it's economy is smaller than than Italy Tell me when you last in Russia? Because Putin is the dictator they've not had a genuine election in Russia since 2000
    1
  1462.  @claus-not-santa  the value of the currency is less than half of what it was before 2014 which tells you that the economy is in trouble. They can't afford to produce the SU-57 the T-14, the MC-21-300. They had to pull out of a joint project with China to build aircraft. They had to steal western commercial aircraft. They previously had a national fund and a welfare fund now they only have the one. They can no longer export petroleum products to other nations. The oil that they are selling is at below market prices because Putin is desperate. How many people do you actually know in Russia? Have you even been there? The financial information that you're relying on is supplied by the Russian Central Bank and they've stopped supplying most information. I guarantee I know exactly what the situation is like in Russia.
