  1. The US & Britain helped Russia not LOSE in 1942, then send millions of tons more of aid for 3 more years, this despite Russia allying with Germany to start WW2.
    1800
  2. Saydnaya isn't a prison; it's a death camp, like Buchenwald.
    905
  3. Kellog's 100% out of line here. Russia is at war with Ukraine & thus the chain of command of the Russian armed forces IS a legitimate target, just like a sniper taking out an officer 1,000m behind the front line.
    901
  4. From October 1941 to October 1946, the British Empire supplied Russia with arms & materiel worth $24bn at today's values. I'd like to think we can better that for Ukraine, so long as they need our support.

  5. The other candidate in Romania is Elena Lasconi, who is a centrist & pro EU. In regard to Ukraine, she commented she would not cede territories if she were in President Zelensky's position
    654
  6. Dear Putin, GFYS.
    624
  7. Zelensky offered Fico alternative gas supplies. Fico refused. Fico is a tool of Putin's regime. Fico likely gets a huge cut from the discounted gas.
    605
  8. I would consider it an honour to give President Zelenskyy a hug. This guy is a true hero of freedom & democracy. As for Trump; That's what toilet paper's for. I'm a true political conservative but were I a US citizen, I'd vote for Harris because Trump is anathema to conservatism.
    582
  9. Drop the damn' bridge! Crimea IS Ukraine.
    525
  10. Europe has no choice BUT to fully support Ukraine & it DOES have the financial resources to do so without the US. What it lacks so far is the WILL.
    506
  11. Putin treated Carlson with the sneering contempt he deserves. Anyone supportive of Carlson's actions is despicable.
    473
  12. Tim Tool: "Producing propaganda for a regime committing war crimes in Ukraine is a fun thing to do..."
    440
  13. Moscow needs to know what missile strikes look like, especially the Kremlin.
    399
  14. Today I wrote to the UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer, asking his government to cease restricting the use of UK supplied weapons. I've also asked him to pressure the US government to do the same.
    340
  15. If Putin rejects this, then Trump better double down on supplying aid & increasing sanctions on Russia. If this doesn't happen, it confirms Trump is working for Putin.
    293
  16. "I'd have preferred it loaded up with tanks first". You're the man, Jake. 🤣🤣🤣
    268
  17. If Russia has >600,000 personnel in Ukraine, then they must be pretty ineffective, as they're barely taking ground against a far smaller Ukrainian defence.
    265
  18. If I said what I think should happen to Alex Jones & his fellow traitors I'd be in trouble.
    256
  19. I'm a political conservative but on this matter, Biden has it right, except of course too little has been sent too late.
    245
  20. 181 Russian transport vehicles deleted yesterday. That's a significant hit on their logistics. What we now need is the new guys in Syria to refuse access for Russian vessels in Tartus, so they have to leave everything bigger than a backpack behind.
    230
  21. The aircraft attempted a landing three times at Grozny due to severe fog. It was on the third attempt, the missile impacted. Russia then refused the aircraft to land at two other places in Russia & directed it to fly over the Caspian Sea to Kazakhstan, presumably in the hope it went down over water, thus removing evidence of their guilt.
    226
  22. He wasn't even rude, just stated the facts about trump's narcissistic version of 'reality'.
    220
  23. Speaker Johnson's own church says he is WRONG. How much did Putin pay to buy Speaker Johnson & the Orange Creep?
    210
  24. The US was budgeting $5,000 per shell dismantling 155mm DPICM before deciding to send them to Ukraine. When they did send them, each one was booked down at inventory cost of $48-56,000 per shell from the aid budget. Truth is, sending them to Ukraine SAVES the US taxpayer close to $5,000 per shell. There's between 5 & 7 million of them, so gifting them to Ukraine would save US taxpayers $20-30bn minimum...
    151
  25. Thanks for doing what you can to help get necessary aid to Ukraine. As a lifelong conservative (UK not US but still the small 'c'), I'm disgusted at the Republican far right's politicising of & opposition to stopping Putin's imperialist aggression. Were he alive today, Ronald Reagan would be disgusted by their actions.
    142
  26. Trump also failed to support Ukraine in any meaningful way from 2016 through 2020. Let's not forget that.
    134
  27. Dugin needs to follow his daughter.
    131
  28. Russia is turning out at most 30,000 replacement meat sacks a month whilst losing 35,000. If that's not enough, they're losing combat experienced soldiers, officers & NCOs at an even faster rate.
    114
  29. I'm tearing up thinking of all those Ukrainian children whose fathers went off to defend their freedom & never came back...
    98
  30. Fridman embarrassed himself.
    91
  31.  @bodigames  Nope. Tesla sales have collapsed in the UK with no change in EV subsidies.
    89
  32.  @Lordslade1  The only sh&t round here is Trumpists.
    89
  33. Note all those arrested for rioting at the airport have automatically been drafted to go fight in Storm Z units in Ukraine. Bad for Ukraine but no great loss for humanity if they're 'expended'.
    84
  34. The GOP really does need to remove the far right/religious nutters from its ranks.
    80
  35. Ukraine trusts America to protect freedom, democracy & the rule of law. We can only hope America up to that trust, as it has done in the past.
    79
  36. Time to angle the submarine deal away from the US & more towards the UK. When you need them, we can help with SSBNs too.
    78
  37.  @andyternent1611  There's nothing to negotiate, except the amount of reparations & when those accused of war crimes are handed over.
    76
  38. Russia needs to sit quietly & drink it's vodka & keep the hell out of other countries' business.
    76
  39. I'm disgusted by him.
    72
  40. Add another £1.6bn ($2bn) worth of air defence missiles from the UK - announced after the meeting.
    69
  41. In 2020, Americans elected a president showing early signs of dementia. In 2024, Americans elected a president showing advanced signs of dementia, megalomania & narcissism. WTF are they going to vote for in 2028?
    68
  42. I'd like to welcome General Valerii Fedorovych Zaluzhnyi to the UK as Ukraine's new ambassador. May his time here be productive both politically & militarily.
    68
  43.  @Dopeink-byTonyB  Not in the same way or for the same reasons. In the US, it's a failure of the justice system. In Russia, it's approved government policy.
    65
  44. And in direct contravention to the Budapest memorandum.
    57
  45.  @KoRntech  So, they see money for themselves as more important than Ukrainian lives. They're willing killers for hire. I've no compassion whatsoever for these hired killers.
    55
  46. More balls than the Republicnut politicians too.
    55
  47. That's some lovely use of the English language. I've been saying for days people are reading far more into this than it actually says (I'm a former UK civil servant, so know how to write statements like this...). The US is pretty much saying 'what Ukraine decides to do is up to them & we're not going to meddle'.
    53
  48. Europe & US aren't even lifting with their pinkie fingers yet (though they should've been...) & when they do in the near future, Russia will see what the last two letters of FAFO mean.
    51
  49. America has to learn to live without Europe as a market for its exports...
    51
  50. And invaded & occupied Latvia, Lithuania & Estonia.
    50
  51.  @Blacknis-r3z  Ukraine was the engineering & technology centre of the USSR. Your beloved Muscovy merely parasitised off everywhere else.
    50
  52.  @brianmelton400  You find this war amusing?
    46
  53. The actual, budget cost to US taxpayers for military aid to Ukraine has been less than $7bn. Supplying them with 155mm DPICM actually SAVES US taxpayers $8,500 per round, as that is what the US has been paying to tear them apart & dispose of them. Destroying Russian forces in Ukraine saves US lives, US dollars & Ukrainian lives.
    43
  54. I'll wager Putin has verifiable & damning dirt on Trump.
    43
  55. No; the US, Russia, France, UK guaranteed they would NOT attack Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum. Only one of those broke their word: Russia.
    40
  56. I like how Ukraine held off releasing the video of the sinking until Russia said the ship had been 'lightly damaged'. The bow sticking out of the water was the ultimate version of giving Russia the finger.
    38
  57.  @pascalrange2275  Along with his marbles.
    37
  58. I want to see Russia's military restored to the state it was in in late 1917...
    35
  59. Yep, those sparkles in the fireball don't exist in a fuel explosion, nor does a fuel explosion have the velocity & pressure to throw centimetre thick steel sheet half a km & more.
    33
  60. What's going to end this is Russia's economy collapsing, followed by widespread civic unrest. It's quite possible swathes of Russian military personnel will simply quit fighting & go home when this happens.
    32
  61. Ukraine is hitting the cracking(fractional distillation) towers in these refineries. Without them, the refinery is incapable of producing anything.
    31
  62.  @gargoyles9999  What will US citizens do when the body bags pile up?
    31
  63.  @alexanderdantonio8999  I've watched plenty of his videos. The only thing which surprises me is he hasn't been silenced for the sheer honesty of his output.
    30
  64.  @Bob94390  As a percentage of GDP, Estonia has contributed MORE THAN TEN TIMES the US.
    30
  65. UK was first to supply western MBT to Ukraine, first to supply full range Storm Shadow & some other more 'exotic' systems. My regret is we are lacking in manufacturing capacity to supply a LOT more in the way of 155mm artillery, the shells to go with it & long range air defence systems capable of eliminating Russian missiles.
    29
  66.  @Silveirias  80% of the dollar value of US military aid remains in the US & in some cases (155mm DPICM), sending it to Ukraine actually saves the US the cost of dismantling/disposal ($5,000+ per round for DPICM).
    28
  67.  @Piden-l4b  The same applies to the time Trump's jet sat at Moscow airport for 38 hours but he claimed he 'didn't spend a night in Moscow'. Guaranteed FSB has those tapes.
    28
  68.  @Carrera6rennsport  Funny how you didn't mention this part: Russian influence was entrenched in government, business, and cultural circles. The Russian special services, it was widely believed, had penetrated key national security agencies including the military and intelligence services. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which was part of the larger Russian Orthodox Church based in Moscow, was the largest church in Ukraine, substantially larger than the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU). Ukrainian oligarchs and their Russian counterparts cut corrupt deals, especially in the energy sector
    27
  69.  @bourbonstansell8823  <---Kremlin troll alert.
    25
  70.  @metallikate  When did Russia last bomb anything in Ukraine? TWO HOURS AGO. Ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.
    25
  71.  @DrunkenUFOPilot  A woodchipper...
    24
  72.  @Duke_of_Lorraine  30% of the medium tanks & almost half of all tanks used in the defence of Moscow were British & there was a British fighter wing operating in Russia by late summer 1941. Heck, the first Arctic convoy arrived in August that year, carrying tanks, aircraft, guns, ammunition.
    24
  73.  @jaytbo5676  The truth is, Poland has completed the supply of everything they pledged, from combat aircraft to MBTs & artillery. What you're seeing is a minor tiff between friends over Ukrainian agricultural produce, not a devastating rift.
    24
  74. I've been saying the same thing as Tsai for at least two years about supporting Ukraine being the best way to deter China from going after Taiwan.
    24
  75. That's exactly what Gen Hodges said all along (ignore the stupid & selective MSM misquotes which missed all the important caveats & conditions he set).
    23
  76. Ocean going tankers have never been able to enter the Sea of Azov, as it's only 6m deep. Russia was using these tankers, as the oil terminal at Tuapse was knocked out by Ukraine.
    23
  77.  @kalidilerious  $114bn over 3 years not two, which is significantly less than the ROTW & some $48bn of 'military aid' has never left the US. It's been spent on new facilities & replacing old stocks given to Ukraine with newer, more effective stuff. Then there's the 155mm DPICM supplied, costed at $5,000 a round. Prior to 2022, the US was having these munitions dismantled & disposed of at a cost of just under $5,000 a round... Seems to me, sending them to Ukraine saved US taxpayers several $bn. Then there's the 'refurbished' but not modernised T72s valued at more than three times the modernised ones supplied by Poland... When everything's done, your President is actively supporting Putin's dictatorship & its war of imperialist aggression.
    22
  78. Be safe & be patient, as Ukraine WILL be victorious.
    21
  79. If Putin respects historical borders, he can start by handing Königsberg back to Germany, or possibly Poland & Lithuania...
    21
  80.  @concernedrabbit9075  Ruzzia begins with Z right?
    21
  81.  @4TheRecord  Agreed: an eye for an eye.
    19
  82.  @sumiland6445  <----- Class of '22 Kremlin troll. Do you enjoy propagandising for Putin's imperialist aggressor regime?
    19
  83. He sickens anyone who isn't a sociopath.
    18
  84. The ship was capable of transiting the canal system & was missing from Feodosia for about the correct length of time (18th October to 23rd December) to travel to a port on the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea, load up & return (3,000km+/- each way).
    18
  85.  @Domesticated_Ape  Replaced by another civilian with sfa knowledge of warfare. According to the Kremlin, this is so he can 'think outside the box'. Which one; his coffin?
    18
  86.  @Piden-l4b  290,000 death certificates requested for regular Russian military families alone - that doesn't include Wagner, prison 'volunteers', DPR/LPR, foreign fighters. On top of that, disability claims have increased by more than 500,000.
    18
  87.  @laars0001  The cost of those 155mm DPICM rounds is a third of the cost the US was intending to spend on demilitarising them. So in that case, they're saving taxpayers a great deal.
    18
  88.  @cherylconrad1157  ITAR It's the reason why Eurofighter Typhoon is built with no US parts which fall under its remit & why Tempest will be the same.
    17
  89.  @stevenr8606  <-----Class of 2014 Kremlin troll.
    17
  90. @migsvensurfing6310 Yes & I'd love to see a list & act accordingly...
    17
  91.  @0816M3RC  Sounds like a Kremlin troll, which is exactly what it is.
    17
  92.  @MrGatzby  Obvious Kremlin troll is obvious...🙄
    17
  93.  @shannonroberts5080 UNSC action was sought. Unsurprisingly vetoed by the Russofascists. Russia shouldn't even BE part of the UNSC, as that seat belonged to the USSR, not just Russia.
    17
  94.  @bourbonstansell8823  You're a Russian troll who joined YT last year to push out Putin''s propaganda. I'm not in the states & spent more than 30 years countering Russian aggression; first militarily, then diplomatically. Now I'm mostly retired apart from offering my decades of experience on a voluntary basis in the interests of freedom & democracy, most recently to Ukraine. My original degree was MEng, followed a couple of decades later by a 2:1 in international relations from LSE. You on the other hand, cannot even spell border correctly.
    17
  95. Absolutely yes.
    16
  96.  @stargazer-elite You forget context: The British Empire had little in the way of army or air force in the late 1930s & certainly nowhere near enough to confront Nazi Germany. What Chamberlain did was buy us enough time to ensure we didn't enter WW2 with biplanes to confront the Luftwaffe's Me109s, He111s & Ju88s & a moribund arms industry.
    16
  97. Labour didn't win the UK election; the Conservatives lost (Labour's % of the vote barely rose from when they were defeated in 2019). Oh & FPTP is a barely democratic method of voting. Great news from France, not just for Ukraine but for Europe, peace & the rule of law.
    16
  98.  @allymac18  Europe has a LOT of money & what I want to know is why isn't it being used to buy all that surplus military equipment from the US & sending it to Ukraine. This doesn't have to be the EU: Independent states can join together & fund these purchases.
    15
  99. Trump & Vance. A study in vileness.
    14
  100.  @brianmelton400  Trolling much?
    14
  101.  @KolyaUrtz  Because without the nukes, it's maybe the 20th strongest at best. You can't even defeat Ukraine, even in the times when free world aid has been low.
    14
  102.  @alexmashine  Wealthy life in the USSR? You are truly delusional.
    14
  103.  @Digmen1  That's a Dutch company & they're buying LNG not oil. Should've been stopped but unfortunately the alternative is buying from the US, which is also unacceptable.
    14
  104.  @Blacknis-r3z  <---- November 2024 graduation from Troll school in St Petersburg.
    14
  105.  @0816M3RC  He's paid to spread it.
    14
  106. Intentionally targeting a dam IS a war crime. Article 53. Why would hitting oil REFINERIES affect the price of crude oil? Russia's ability to export REFINED oil products has been virtually eliminated, so the effect on diesel & petroleum products will be minimal, especially as Russia imposed a 6 month ban on exporting gasoline due to a domestic shortage.
    14
  107.  @AndyRosaDesign  Nobody in your minuscule MAGA world...
    13
  108.  @jo-annegawley5027 So you openly support wars of imperialist aggression & Fascist dictators. Time to hand in your Civilised card...
    13
  109.  @fuerstmetternich1997  That's an outright lie.
    13
  110. Here in the UK, it equates to $6.90/US gallon.
    12
  111.  @kevinstevens5309  Use the same system as the UK, where the speaker MUST be politically neutral & who does NOT have the power to block debate.
    12
  112. Same goes for Guyana, considering the sabre-rattling coming from Venezuela. Peace & prosperity to all Guyanese.
    12
  113.  @user-McGiver  Not actually true. Russia $2.4tn vs Spain $1.7tn. However, Russia's GDP is smaller than Italy or Canada's...
    12
  114. I contacted our Prime Minister & my MP a week ago, demanding they release Ukraine from any restrictions on weapons use. Sadly, neither Starmer's office nor my MP have yet to respond. From what I understand, it's futile to use Storm Shadow without MALD decoys & HARM, both of which are supplied by the US who will not sanction their use.
    12
  115.  @dazzlebong  Not so. It's clear by Russia's mobilisation & use of prisoners they were unprepared for Ukraine's resistance or a prolonged conflict. The evidence of massive amounts of poorly maintained materiel being pulled out of 'storage' & begging for arms & ammunition from Iran & North Korea is sheer desperation. Meanwhile, the free world is ramping up production of arms & ammunition to bolster their own reserves & increase supplies to Ukraine.
    12
  116.  @johannesvalterdivizzini1523  There's nobody more deserving of hatred & distrust than every Russian leader (bar Gorbachev) since the 1700s...
    12
  117.  @jim2376  Nope. Putin's made the one wrong move guaranteed to ite trump & that's going to come back to bite him. Putin's finished & all that needs to be worked out now is how hard & how fast he falls.
    11
  118.  @murphy7801  I can't say Clinton or Obama did any better.
    11
  119.  @KPsTboy  A good indicator on YT is if they joined during 2014 or after February 2022. Both are indicators of Krembots.
    11
  120.  @goldenageofdinosaurs7192  You really don't have a clue how it works, do you? comrade...🙄
    11
  121.  @MetalBeastShred  Canada never had its own nuclear arsenal. They hosted US nuclear weapons up to 1984.
    11
  122. Honey trap... Question is; what did he pass on to the Russians.
    11
  123.  @MeMe-fc7qc  Plucked straight out of the place he fails to wipe correctly.
    11
  124.  @anonymouslyominous33  I've never used either due to the obnoxious characters involved in both (past AND present).
    11
  125.  @herbtapp3031  I've given both time & treasure to helping Ukraine remove the fascist invaders from their land, all why you sit & post pro Putin propaganda for a pittance.
    10
  126.  @alexanderfonseca2022  Shallow thinking at its worst. You clearly have no idea as to the concept of 'soft power'.
    10
  127.  @northboy7996  Poor effort MAGAt.
    10
  128. He knew war was inevitable. He also knew the British needed at least three years to prepare for it. He bought us one, which allowed us to survive, by the narrowest of margins.
    10
  129.  @ananamu2248  Probably involving children...
    10
  130. Here's what Perun said regarding this: My channel has been impacted by an issue at Youtube that has, among other things, made monetisation unavailable. Google support advises I am not the only one impacted, and that they are working on a fix. The best advice I have received from others is not to upload until the matter is resolved Possibly more cock-up than conspiracy or corporate greed. Note I said 'possibly'...
    10
  131. No way did they save the crew off that ship, as the drone entering through the breach made by the first explosion detonated the ship's magazine.
    10
  132. That wasn't a dud ATACMS - it was the body of the missile impacting after it dispensed its submunitions. Note how the impact comes 2-3 seconds before the latter explode in an arc in front of the trajectory.
    9
  133. Armenia too - all of it.
    9
  134. Example: The US sends a million, 155mm DPICM shells to Ukraine. These are obsolete, no longer fielded & cost more than $5,000 PER UNIT to dispose of. Sending them to Ukraine saves the US taxpayer $5 BILLION, yet this is classed as $15bn in military aid (inventory value is $15k per shell). Then the US DOD gives out orders to US companies to produce far more advanced replacements...
    9
  135. I think you need to pin this Jake.
    9
  136.  @DarrenJamiesonJamieson  What Lammy said was the verifiable truth. Only a fool would think otherwise.
    9
  137. Apart from the mouth breathing far right, the vast majority of people in the UK support Ukraine & support the UK government's continuing support for Ukraine.
    8
  138.  @skankhunt420  ATACMS was a very few & no, there have been zero F-16s supplied to Ukraine as of today.
    8
  139. Ozymandias...
    8
  140. Trump. Oh wait, he never had any...
    8
  141.  @antilarge7860  Bore off with your sociopathic, far right nonsense.
    8
  142.  @AstroGremlinAmerican  That made Oi larf. 🤣🤣
    8
  143.  @BigAL0074  Cope more.
    8
  144.  @jjstile  How much are you paid to post such nonsense? Ukraine did NOTHING to provoke Putin's war of colonialist aggression.
    8
  145. Trump's too dumb to see that.
    8
  146.  @ztirf49  OK, so negotiate a deal for European nations to club together & BUY the ammunition Ukraine needs. Heck, it's costing the US more than $5,000 PER SHELL to decommission 155mm DPICM so they should be giving the stuff away & they have several million in inventory. Lets BUY every 155mm artillery piece they can spare. Why the heck SHOULD the US be shouldering the burden of keeping Ukraine in existence if Europe as a whole can't get its act together?
    8
  147.  @allymac18  That's a real annoyance regarding US aid to Ukraine - It's the 'inventory value' they quote when saying how much aid is sent, rather than the true, market value (based on the latter, US military aid to Ukraine is actually less than $10bn). An M113 is worth maybe $25k at best on the open market.
    8
  148.  @stargazer-elite I wonder what dirt Putin has on Trump & Johnson...
    7
  149. @ i spare twice that every week here in the UK & I'm retired. If you can't find it in yourself to help those most in need (like Ukrainians being shelled & bombed), then you can't call yourself a follower of Christ.
    7
  150. That's not a priest - unless Satan has priests.
    7
  151. Was supposed to be flying over in 6 weeks. Been visiting the US twice a year since 2002. I'll not return until this stupidity is gone, Meanwhile, I'll be liquidating my US investments & bringing the equity back to the UK.
    7
  152. Thing is, US oil companies hate cheap oil, as it makes domestic oil production economically unviable.
    7
  153.  @phillipwilber3427 More like "what dirty secrets does Russia have evidence of regarding the Pope..."
    7
  154.  @reecesmonkeey4416 Or "we have the photo's/video of you & those kids..."
    7
  155. 27 million & the majority weren't Russian.

  157. 30% of the medium tanks used in the defence of Moscow came from the British. They also sent three Spitfire wings by early September 1941, complete with pilots & ground crew. Heck, we even loaned them a battleship, which they later returned in such poor condition it was scrapped.

  159. Civilised? If so, he's a long way to go.

  160.  @brianvogt8125  Nope. They KNOW the orders will continue rolling in the foreseeable future & there's no benefit in stoking the flames. They'd actually benefit MORE from this conflict being brought to a conclusion, as focus would move from producing lots of current materiel to developing advanced weaponry to ensure the next conflict isn't one we lose.
    6
  161. European nations have increased defence spending by more than 60% since 2014.

  162.  @derekbaker3279  Well said.

  163.  @traumvonhaiti  Seems to me that's where he's heading, unlike the Ostrich Party, sorry, Republicans.
    6
  164.  @irdorath356  No, I wouldn't because they don't release those numbers to all & sundry. It's known however, roughly how many active personnel Ukraine had prior to Putin's imperialist invasion & the capacity of AFU to train is fairly easy to estimate, along with international training efforts.
    6
  165.  @mr.monitor.  The US interest in Afghanistan lasted twice as long as Russia's, only with far fewer deaths on both sides. I guess you're proud of your beloved Russian forces killing 1.2-1.6 million Afghan civilians.
    6
  166. I'll wager the 65 Ukrainian POWs have been dead for some time, due to neglect, mistreatment, torture & outright murder. How come Russia said there was a second plane carrying another 80 POWs, when an Il-76 can carry 225 fully equipped troops?
    6
  167.  @stevemcgowen  Did I say that? Nope. Perhaps you need to study history to a greater depth than whatever comic you're currently reading. As for Ukraine; I gave 6 months of my time for free in 2021 to helping train AFU in certain matters & on leaving, donated a not insignificant amount of optical equipment bought from my own funds. Now please bore off with your ridiculous insinuations.

  171.  @Sinvx  Thing is, the former doesn't have to balance military needs with actually keeping the country together. Churchill's popularity was at an all time low in 1942, yet he carried on to see victory in Europe & Montgomery was for a time more popular than he.

  179.  @elenasivac7352  Not true in most cases, certainly not in Stalin's time.
    5
  180.  @Ultra-Violet  No, they haven't. That '$75bn' aid for Ukraine is based on the original cost of these weapons & ammunition to the US military. Some, like 155mm DPICM was actually costing the US taxpayer more than $5,000 per round for dismantling & disposal. They're sent to Ukraine & recorded as $80,000 EACH. Get your facts straight.

  181. I guess nobody gets the reference...

  182.  @DetectiveRackham  Nowhere near enough if all morally upstanding conservatives refuse to do so. They don't have to vote for Biden - just not vote at all, or better yet, vote for one of the minor parties, or write in their preference.

  183.  @ThePzrLdr  Did you somehow forget it was the British who went to France's aid right there at the beginning of both? The Americans were late to the party on both occasions...

  188.  @BrugersUK  Let's supply more then. I donated 6 months of my time in advising & more than £20k worth of optics paid for out of my own pocket. I expect my government to dig far deeper, as this is NOT just about Ukraine but rather the rule of law, democracy & freedom. Those three are beyond price.

  192. Nonsense. What Europe needs is the WILL to call a halt to its social agenda for as long as it takes to produce what's needed for Ukraine yo win. It has the resources & knowledge needed.

  196.  @skipperg4436  The king here in the UK can theoretically block laws from being passed but if it ever really mattered, I reckon the politicians pushing through some utterly bad law would see he had an 'accident'. That's why successive UK governments have largely disarmed UK citizens.

  201. It must also be noted that there are no restrictions on 18-25 year old Ukrainian men volunteering for active service. I'm also opposed to men under the age of 21 serving in UK armed forces, at least in a combat role. Look at the PTSD statistics & you'll see why.

  202. Mike Johnson wallows in the blood of Ukrainians. Mike Johnson worships fascism. Mike Johnson abhors democracy. Mike Johnson is what dogs leave in the grass.

  203. Looks like there's "possibly" a kinda innocent reason. Perun has posted this: My channel has been impacted by an issue at Youtube that has, among other things, made monetisation unavailable. Google support advises I am not the only one impacted, and that they are working on a fix. The best advice I have received from others is not to upload until the matter is resolved

  204. Why does his office have a 10' high door? Is someone highlighting that he's a shortarse?

  205.  @joshuathompson3325  Militarily, US aid is actually less than that from Europe, especially as US values are based on inflation adjusted original costs, rather than current value.
    4
  206.  @elenasivac7352  If you're claiming there have been 500,000 Ukrainians KIA then I'll call you a liar & a pro Putin, pro fascism, pro war crimes propagandist. Is that so, because it certainly looks like it?

  207.  @ChadHarm_Toad  Him being a Putinbot might have something to do with it....

  211.  @heathwirt8919  You appear to have no idea how European nations have ignored history & the need to pay for their own defence. I say this as an Englishman who spent more than 30 years in the service of his country, firstly as an officer, later as a diplomat.

  212.  @InkyBlitz  Most of which is pretty much unpopulated. Cope with losing.

  213.  @TankandDimples  Agreed. That was one thing the Orange Dude DID get right but most of Europe chose to belittle the only piece of wisdom he ever offered.
    4
  214. I'm getting sick & tired of politicians & leaders who are so-called supporters of Ukraine talking up 'peace negotiations' when Putin's made it clear what he really wants is de-facto capitulation. There will be no future for Ukraine without Russia being ejected from ALL Ukrainian territory.
    4
  215.  @darthwiizius  Umm, no. The Dem's spread between liberal/centre left & "one nation" conservative. The GOP is currently controlled by a populist/authoritarian cabal, with any conservatives sidelined. Progressive is a term used to describe the extreme left. It matters not what either party was historically; it's the here & now which matters.

  216. Trump keeps on repeating the $350bn lie, just like he now denies calling Zelenskyy a dictator. Senile dementia writ large.

  222. S-200 has a 300km plus range unmodified & Ukrainian expertise tied this into western targeting radar. A-50 now has to stay back at a range where it's no longer effective.

  223. Mike Johnson is an enemy of freedom & democracy & a traitor to the United States.

  224. Trump will do what he's told by the people who have the 'interesting home videos' from his visits to Russia. Tucker Carlson is openly supporting a regime which as threatened the US with nuclear weapons on multiple occasions. To me, that's outright treason & he should pay the maximum penalty.
    3
  225. Let's get Viktor's new legs paid for by tomorrow.
    3
  226. I have to correct you one one thing Jake: 76% of US citizens live in places with a population exceeding 10,000 rather than in in small towns. Heck, 10% of the population lives in 18 cities.

  236. Ah yes, Russia. Under Stalin, it allied with Hitler's Nazi regime, thus bringing about WW2, invaded Poland & Finland, massacred tens of thousands of Poles at Katyn, deported more than a million Poles, most of whom 'disappeared' then occupied & oppressed all of eastern Europe for 45 years... Not forgetting Russia aided pre Hitler Germany in forming the Luftwaffe, training in the use of tanks...

  237.  @angrydoggy9170  Back in 2012, I was offered a rolling £200,000 contract for eight months' on, four months off by the government of a sub Saharan nation, supposedly for training their air force in COIN operations. Nice little earner, yes? Not when what was really involved was exterminating a minority who had been repressed, dispossessed & outright murdered for a decade. I declined. That contract was taken up by a 'retired' VVS colonel who fulfilled his role as directed. Don't try & tell me these people don't know exactly what's expected of them, as even in Russia, word gets out. Heck, German collective guilt regarding the atrocities of the Nazi regime was RIGHT, as the German people DID know what was happening but did nothing. There's no excuses for genocide.

  243. If the price falls, they'll stop drilling so rising prices are actually GOOD for US oil production.

  244. Jake: Europe has committed to more military aid to Ukraine than the US. The US has blocked Ukraine's use of long range weapons supplied by European nations against legitimate military targets within Russia due to their containing US technology. We've been criticising Orban, Fico & others since day one.

  245. The reaction of Putin's regime to having a couple of his generals turned into meat jam was typical willy waving by microdick Putin. Thing is, you need a zoom lens to see it. 🤣🤣🤣

  251. Russia should be told it has 90 days to fully withdraw from ALL Ukrainian territory, as recognised in 1994. Failing that, the free world will use CONVENTIONAL force to eject Russia's forces, including neutralising Russian military assets on Russian territory used to prosecute the invasion of Ukraine. It's WAY past time Putin discovered what the FO part of FAFO means.

  254. Tim Pool is an enemy of freedom & democracy & needs to be treated as such. What surprised me was Mark Rubin, as unlike Pool, he's clearly highly intelligent. By his actions, he's clearly NOT a conservative, as no real conservative would do anything to support Putin's fascist regime.
    3
  255. Mike Johnson wants this American hero & defender of democracy to die. Mike Johnson supports Fascist imperialist warmongers. Mike Johnson is unfit to be referred to as civilised.

  256.  @niclaslundgren7253  Says he's from the UK in bio. We don't call the left liberals here in the UK. Jake's been highly critical of Biden's prevarication. Nor do we see Trump as the answer to anything.

  264. Sorry Jake but that's not KIA, even the Ukrainian military say it includes seriously wounded.

  265.  @JakeBroe  I suggest you ask the people putting the numbers together because I guarantee those are NOT the number of KIA only. That's been stated openly by minister Reznikov.

  274. Russia now hates Trump? That's excellent news for Ukraine.

  275. This is insane. Europe needs to step in NOW & replace the US in regard to arms supplies for Ukraine. Trump has turned the US from ally to adversary.

  284. The ONLY reason people are pessimistic, is because they know their governments aren't doing enough to help Ukraine defeat the invaders. WHY are we in Europe keeping back stocks of arms & ammunition when the ONLY threat is Russia? If we don't ensure Ukraine's victory, the next part of this conflict will be further west. To our governments: GIVE UKRAINE WHAT THEY WANT, NOT WHAT YOU THINK THEY NEED.

  285. Why was the far right conspiracy theorist Brian Glenn even present? Oh, because he's MTG's bedfellow.

  286. YouTube are moral cowards in blocking graphic imagery. They are AIDING increased violence by failing to show its consequences.
    2
  287. If Putin's regime sinks a grain ship or targets the grain loading facilities at Odesa, support for Ukraine will significantly increase, both politically & militarily. Wouldn't surprise me if such a sinking would lead to Russia suffering significant naval losses within days - unattributable of course...

  297.  @scratchy996  I'm a retired RAF officer & former diplomat. In the latter appointment, it was vital for me to have an understanding of global politics & the manifold forms of government involved. Autocracy is born of ignorance & fear, thus, as we progress, such authoritarian regimes become less, rather than more commonplace.

  298. All the Pantsirs are being used to protect Putin's many palaces 😅

  300. People3 in the US need to realise most of the supposed cost of supporting Ukraine is actually the purchase price of obsolete/obsolescent/no longer wanted equipment & munitions. Take 155mm DPICM ammunition: The US was in the process of arranging for millions of rounds to be decommissioned, at a cost per round of THREE TIMES the original purchase price. Sending it all to Ukraine will save US taxpayers $17bn...
    2
  301. Across the three main ammunition depots, Russia lost at least three trains, possibly four.
    2
  302.  @JakeBroe  We should have begun rearming Ukraine in 2014, not 2022. It was the weak response to Putin's occupation of Crimea which encouraged him to go full on invasion.
    2
  303. Trump is joining with China, Russia & Iran in working to destroy America.
    2
  304. Stuff the Kursk Russians - they were silent whilst Ukrainian homes were being destroyed & Ukrainian civilians & children were murdered. Sucks to be them.
    2
  305. No to a frozen conflict. The ONLY acceptable outcome is Russia getting TFO of Ukraine, returning all abducted children & civilians, the return of POWs & payment in full for ALL damage done to Ukraine.
    2
  306. Speaker Johnson is an accessory to war crimes & murder. Speaker Johnson needs to face a Nuremberg style trial & a Nuremberg style sentence.

  307. Remember; Russia isn't a problem for the US, as according to Trump, it's an ocean away. Someone needs to tell him the ocean between Russia & the US is little more than 50 miles wide...

  309. Why is this comment being 'shadow deleted'? Trump will do what he's told by the people who have the 'interesting home videos' from his visits to Russia.

  310.  @yoda204  NATO has nothing to do with this & Sunak was hopeless, just like Starmer.

  311. Putin waving his nuclear willy again, because his personal weiner is more of a chipolata. It's as if the little kiddy-fiddler is denying the free world has far more & far more advanced nuclear weapons than RuZZia has. The free world needs to grow some balls & come out in full support of Ukraine by sending whatever Ukraine asks for.
    2
  312. Note how those Russian mothers wives don't oppose their husbands & sons going killing Ukrainians, only how their menfolk are getting killed because their equipment, training & leadership are rubbish. Remember this: RUSSIAN CITIZENS support the mass killing of Ukrainians. Scabby Eva really is a vile excuse for a human being.

  314.  @r.a.acosta6528  I guess you forgot how the free world stood with the US in 2001 & even participated in the insanity of the invasion & occupation of Iraq in 2003. Then there was two decades of supporting the US in Afghanistan, including a not insignificant contribution from Ukraine...

  315. The BBC interviewer was a condescending, arrogant shitt'ead.

  316. In 2023, the top 100 European arms companies had a combined revenue of $133 billion, a 0.2% increase from 2022. This was the smallest increase in the world. What planet are European leaders living on?
    2
  317. $250 million to kill less than 40 Ukrainian civilians. Gosh, what a great 'victory' & use of resources. As for You Tube. Refusing to show the horrific effects of war makes it easier to commit the same atrocities in the future. YT disgusts me.

Question for you to see if you can find an answer for: Whilst the US is currently not sending aid to Ukraine, why aren't other nations BUYING what's needed from the US? 155mm DPICM comes to mind, as it should be cheap to purchase due to the US stating its intent (at significant cost...) to decommission/dismantle several million rounds, all of which would be of immense help to Ukraine.

  322.  @jelink22 You really don't know what you're talking about. They can only add new wells when it's economically viable to drill them & extract the oil. This was not the case between 1979 & 2004 & the US oil industry was panicking in 2016 when there was a sharp but temporary fall. Educate your self before you pontificate.

  323. for the next nine months, it must be the objective of every freedom loving pro democracy US citizen to ensure Trump does NOT become POTUS in 2025.

  325.  @Sinvx  Kyiv Independent, 19th December: "Zelensky came in first, with 77% saying he is trustworthy, followed by comedian, public figure, and noted fundraiser Serhii Prytula with 69%, and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko in third place with 52%."
    2
  326.  @Sinvx  You're comparing apples & carrots, as Zaluzhnyi is a military commander, not an elected politician. Compare Zelenskyy's rating to other leading politicians.

  327. Putin & his supporters want that little girl to not have a father any more. Remember that - forever.

  328. Victory for Russia is a fantasy. Putin's dream of a new empire will DIE in the mud of Ukraine before next summer.
    2
  329. Russia won't exist in ten years if Putin keeps on his current course.
    2
  330. If Russia collapses, the immediate aftermath will be bad but in the end, individual post-Russian states will never again have the power to act as Russia has for more than 300 years. As for nukes: Without the codes, they're more or less useless, as Ukraine discovered from 1991-1994 & with international help they'll be safeguarded.
    2
  331. Putin's not the only one unhappy with Trump's choices. Some of them are MAGA conspiraloon moonbats & few have the expertise to do their job. I guess Trump's surrounding himself with incompetency in the faint hope it makes him look better.

  335. I said Biden was past it in 2020. I'm certain he's past it now & he's showing the signs of dementia I saw in my father. As for Trump: He's a menace to the US, a menace to world peace, a convicted criminal & also too damn' old.
    2
  336.  @VerdeLantern  Well said & absolutely correct.
    2
  337.  @lillibitjohnson7293  That's why I said Europe, not the EU. The EU has the power to suspend Hungary's voting rights & in this instance, it's fully justified, so they should do do & pass the funding. Time is of the essence.

  338. As an Englishman, I see in Gen Hodges everything which is good about Americans. In Trump, I see the opposite.

  339. It was 1939 not 1940 when Russia acted in concert with Nazi Germany in invading Poland. Russia then directly murdered 25-30,000 Polish officers, politicians, leaders, intellectuals & others. Oh & that doesn't include the 1.1 million Poles sent to the Russian far east as slave labour of whom less than 10% survived FVCK Russia.

  345. The Russian parents asking for their son have been brainwashed to believe their son is being abused by Ukraine, when the opposite is true - he's safe in Ukraine, unlike |Ukrainians captured by Russia, who suffer, starvation, torture & as seen, murder, mutilation & even beheading.

  353.  @paulmes7667  Once again: there was NOTHING we could do to prevent Hitler from taking Czechoslovakia. Declaring war in 1938 would have seen Britain defeated & suing for peace by 1940.

  354.  @kvici There can be no negotiations with Putin's regime until ALL occupying forces have left Ukrainian territory or surrendered. There is no comparison between what happened in 1938 & what happened in 2022.

  355.  @larsrons7937 The Russians did receive Spitfires, though not in large numbers & starting with PR MkIV & surviving MkV & MkIX from arctic convoy protection flights. These were generally based around Murmansk.
    2
  356.  @larsrons7937 It was actually more than 1,400, with most of them being sent via Iran. This consisted of around 150 MkV & 1,200 MkIX plus odds & sods of PR versions.

  358.  @196Stefan2 You're looking in the wrong place. What we buy are industrial tools & processing equipment, aircraft, jet engines, chemicals, radars, measuring equipment. As for firearms; three of mine are Danish, one Czech, two Italian, two German & a pair of English. Much nicer than the US offerings...
    2
  359.  @JackRowsey  Nobody is saying don't buy American weapons.What they're saying is Europe has to become self reliant regarding actual defence, as in boots on the ground, materiel assets commensurate with the perceived threat, etc. The US defence sector actually employs more than 1.2 million directly & almost as many again in businesses servicing those workers.

  364.  @DarrenJamiesonJamieson  Only in your own mind. A 2:1 in History at LSE, followed by military service, then later the diplomatic corps leads me to conclude otherwise. PS I suggest you brush up on your spelling.

  376.  @JakeBroe  They even gave Germany secret training grounds & airfields in the 1920s & 30s; Kama Tank School, near Kazan & Lipetsk Fighter Pilot School. These only ceased operating when Germany openly began rearming in 1933.

  377.  @skipperclinton1087  From Hansard (UK parliamentary record): "In the period from 1st October, 1941, to 31st March, 1946, we supplied to the Soviet Union 5,218 tanks, of which 1,388 were from Canada. We supplied 7,411 aircraft, including 3,129 aircraft sent from the United States of America." In 1941 the commonest Russian tanks were the T-26 & T-28, a light infantry tank, along with the BT series. Few T-34 were available until late 1941. The US sent around 1,400 M3 Lee & more than 5,000 M4 Sherman tanks to Russia.
    1
  378.  @davidshanahan5134  Aye, that 17.5 million tons of supplies sent to Russia really made no difference at all. I mean, Stalin could actually have defeated the Wehrmacht using his moustache alone according to (na)Z patriots these days.
    1
  379.  @Delahulle  The USSR didn't 'liberate' eastern Europe, it uccupied several countries & installed repressive, puppet governments in the rest. As a proportion of population, Ukraine lost significantly more people than Russia in WW2, on top of between 3 & 6 million deliberately starved to death by Stalin a few years earlier.

  398. We've two chambers here in the UK Jake but it seems to work rather better than your House & Senate - possibly because our Upper house is appointed rather than elected & thus more immune to party political pressure. Sadly, you have lunatics like Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far right fantasist & liar.

I don't think any true supporter of freedom & democracy is in any way 'fatigued' except we're sick & tired of our political leaders dithering & prevaricating over supplying Ukraine with EVERYTHING they need, including full blown, unequivocal support in the manner recently demonstrated by macron (now he needs to back those words with increased military aid...).

I've had the privilege to see the papers regarding this & it was all about buying time for the British Empire to rearm & place its industries on a war footing.

  482. In 1938, Britain's air force was mostly biplanes, both fighters & bombers, whilst Germany had the Me109, Do17, Ju87, Ju88, He111, Bf110... If we'd gone to war with Germany in 1938, the British Isles would have been occupied in 1940. Chamberlain knew what he was doing, how distasteful it was but also how necessary in order to buy time for Britain to rearm. He hoped for three years a managed one. In August 1940, Britain was close to capitulation & only a supreme sacrifice by the RAF gave us survival, by the narrowest of margins. NO appeasement this time: Europe must rearm NOW.

  511.  @DJ1573  Funnily enough, I beg to disagree. I'm over in the US on a near enough monthly basis & everyone I know is eager to hear MY thoughts on what's happening in Ukraine. I think this is because the US media has gained a reputation for reporting what fits its agenda (or that of its major advertisers...) rather then the truth. Heck, the videos I took last year showing AFU utterly destroying VDV shocked them to the core. Most (apart from Trumptards who I don't class as conservatives, or for that matter, civilised...) are 100% behind supplying Ukraine with everything they need.

Conclusion was, it made things worse, as did the toxic 'detergents' used in an attempt to disperse the slicks.

I've seen plenty from left leaning media sources saying negotiation & a ceasefire are the only way forwards & any thinking person knows that too is nonsense.

  582. This needs repeating, night, after night, after night, for as long as there are worthwhile targets within range. When one considers the munitions used, many other pieces of equipment will have been damaged beyond repair, over & above the 9 confirmed destroyed.

There's huge amounts of precision engineering capacity capable of producing arms & ammunition which could've been expanding over the past two years but our leaders sat with their thumbs up their bums for more than a year. They need to realise that ammunition being supplied to Ukraine NOW will ensure they don't need ten times as much a few years down the road when Putin or his fascist successor goes after the Baltic states or Moldova (if Ukraine is demilitarised, it then Moldova will fall before the end of the decade).

  618.  @antimatters6283  The issue is in persuading the US (especially the neo-fascist MAGA part) that supporting Ukraine is in the US' interest.

  631.  @darthwiizius  Twaddle. Liberals most assuredly are left of centre & Bernie Saunders is a full on socialist.

  632.  @bencarter7839  Twaddle. This goes way beyond Ukraine & is about defending freedom, democracy & the rule of law. Let Putin get away with this the the next move will be Xi against Taiwan. Donald trump doesn't care about issues; he only cares about himself.

  638. My concern in Syria is Turkey, as they hate the Kurds & have a history of using genocide against other ethnicities. Could see a war between HTS & SDF...

  639. @ Vance admires fascist ideology.

  640. I don't care what destroys Putin's regime, so long as it's devastating, permanent & leads to the breakup of Russia as we know it. The UAE needs to be given some lessons in civilised behaviour.

  641. Taurus would be great, as 500km range guarantees the destruction of the Kerch Strait bridge & when that's gone, Russia's occupation of Crimea is done.

  644.  @marresjepie1887  It kicked off a couple of hours before the unfortunate 'smoking whilst packing 800kg of HMX into oil drums the back of a moving truck on a bridge' incident. I am however pretty damn sure Russia had a hand in it, be it multiple reporting of channels for fabricated reasons or reminding a certain YouTube exec of his night in a Moscow hotel with a couple of transvestite chimpanzee hookers.

  648. It's certainly the enslavement & subjugation of all free nations which were once under the heel of Russia (let's ignore the nonsense that the USSR was anything BUT a Russian control mechanism)
    1
  649. The free world is betraying Ukraine by failing to supply the arms, ammunition & training needed to defeat Putin's fascists. In failing to do this, they're hastening the demise of the rule of law & ensuring WW3 WILL happen. Political cowards one & all.
    1
  650. Trump's a serial fantasist & liar.

  651.  @bobbymcbobby730  If they hate Ukraine so much, they can join a russian 'meat wave' & thus serve Ukraine by becoming fertiliser.
    1
  652. Here we are again, with YouTube blatantly removing comments from those of us who refuse to cease calling out comments made by pro Putin trolls. YouTube actively protects rule breaking, paid accounts posting propaganda for Putin's vile regime. YouTube is a willing accessory to war crimes.
    1
  653.  @chrisrolfe4630  Yes & despite disagreeing with much of her politics, she's immeasurably better than that vile narcissist Trump.
    1
  654. Hmm. Those Russian defensive lines near the border could be a basis for a Ukrainian buffer zone against Russian aggression. That's the kind of buffer zone I agree with.

  655. Elon Musk is a willing tool of Putin's Fascist-Imperialist dictatorship.

  657. I no longer want Putin's fascist regime removed, I want it exterminated like a cockroach infestation.
    1
  658. The more I see of Russia's actions, the more I despise ALL Russians who aren't actively working against Putin's regime, it's backers & supporters. What got me from that video from Mariinka was how Russian state TV completely missed the sarcasm in that soldier's comments. I'm sure he'll be off to a "Storm Z" meat unit by now.

  659.  @jessehachey2732  You might wish to tell General Dynamics that, as it's the term they use.

  660. I despise Trump & all he stands for & I say that as a life long, Thatcherite conservative. Ronald Reagan (best US President since Roosevelt) wouldn't give a narcissist like Trump the time of day.

  662. Olga Skabeyva is the reincarnation of Maria Mandl. One can but hope she meets the same fate - hanging (24/01/1948).

  663. America just bought a pig in a poke.
    1
  664. Kellog's just another MAGA mouthpiece. Europe needs to stop screwing around & produce enough arms & ammunition that we can do without anything from the US. I'm sure Trump will be ecstatic when the US MIC becomes unprofitable.

  665. The more I see of Russia's uncivilised behaviour, the more I despise not only the Putin regime but the people themselves, as they clearly SUPPORT the ongoing savagery.

  666.  @sumiland6445  <---Class of '22 Kremlin troll. You're the vodka swilling Putin shill, not I. You cannot even enunciate Kool-Aid correctly (it was in fact Flavor-Aid used by the despicable Jones, thus you're a twice loser).

  667. Hungary absolutely needs its voting rights suspended. Orban is an authoritarian fascist & voting in Hungary is corrupt.

  668. HTS & other Syrian groups won't accept the presence of their former oppressors in their country. Ruscist propagandists are truly delusional.

  669. If they all flat out refused to go, Putin's war would fall apart within months & there could be no repercussions.
    1
  670.  @larochejaquelein3680  Oh look: Whataboutery. I guess you missed where many of the Americans responsible were tried, convicted & imprisoned. But of course Russian propaganda channels never were good at reporting facts & Russia routinely tortures Ukrainian POWs & civilians.

  671.  @jefitoo  Piffle.

  672. I see the pathetic censorship AI used by YouTube has been hard at it again, removing my comments in response to false claims, yet allowing them to remain. YouTube supports liars & blocks truth.

  673.  @larochejaquelein3680  They were, stop telling lies.

  674.  @Epaminondas371  Not really. The UK's £2.5bn is less than 5% of our defence budget & the same applies to aid from France. We, the UK should be contributing double that to at least match Germany's pledge. What's needed most of all right now is 155mm artillery ammunition, especially DPICM, which is effective against both dismounted infantry & vehicles such as BMP, SPG, MLRS. The US government has several million of these, ALL declared surplus to requirements & slated for disposal or remanufacture, at a cost of more than $5,000 per round. The US government sent some to Ukraine, with each one being claimed as $60,000 (the original inventory cost). This is BS, as sending them to Ukraine SAVES the US taxpayer $5,000 for each one sent. Why should we Europeans expect the US to always pay for a big chunk of our defence needs?
    1
  675.  @jajabez8379  The US could cease pretending the inventory value is actual aid, as an unmodernised Bradley is worth maybe 10% of that. Offer them at that price & European nations will snap them up, upgrade their armour & STILL be able to supply them to Ukraine at less than the US "aid value".

  676. With every statement, Elon Musk appears more like an active supporter of Putin's fascist regime.

  678.  @Lsr2380  This war would never have started had Germany not been wedded to cheap Russian gas to boost its economy. Merkel has the blood of Ukrainians on her hands.

  683.  @Krmpfpks  if you're a true conservative & especially if you're a member of the Republican Party, then either don't vote, or vote for anyone but Trump. Then TELL the Republican Party they will not have your vote until they dump Trump & his vile, populist agenda.
    1
  684.  @ronmullard5718  It's almost like YouTube is working for Putin's fascist regime. Oh wait; it IS, as they routinely remove any comment denigrating the Russofascist shortarse.
    1
  685. Anyone who opposes further funding for military aid to Ukraine is against freedom, democracy & the international rule of law. In doing so, they facilitate wars of aggression & conquest, encourage imperialism & actively support authoritarian, fascist dictatorships such as Putin's. They are amoral cowards.
    1
  686. 4:30 What a wonderful & strong woman. Sadly, she will be either silenced, imprisoned or murdered by Putin's fascist dictatorship.

  687. It's a damning comment on NATO's preparedness for conflict that a relatively small war in Ukraine is placing strain on our ability to replenish ammunition stocks.

  690. 24:00 Please note this guy's accident is South African, not British. That makes him even more of a real hero, as his government is 'ambivalent...' towards Ukraine's plight.

  691. How come YT restricts YOU from showing the video, whilst pretty much every mainstream media channel shows it? Methinks the MSM filth pay YT to stop the 'little guys' from using what is non-copyrighted material.
    1
  692.  @AndyWoohoo666  I asked why this is the case. Seems to me it's yet another example of how YouTube sees free speech as a marketable commodity & thus YT decision makers are immoral sociopaths.

  696.  @kieragard  As I said; Cons lost votes rather than Labour gained them. Those who did vote, largely voted for Reform & the Liberal Democrats, whilst a significant number simply didn't bother voting (lowest turnout of the past 6 elections). Labour''s share of the vote was a mere 33.7%, lower than any elected UK government ever.

  698. Those in the US & elsewhere who are blocking further aid for Ukraine are disgusting, amoral people & directly have the blood of Ukrainians on their hands. What they are doing is openly supporting the mass murdering fascist dictator Putin. That's akin to supporting Hitler, despite being well aware of the death camps.

  699. Russia needs to be told in no uncertain terms they will NOT be allowed to succeed in Ukraine & that continuing with their war of imperialist aggression will only lead to greater damage to Russia.

  700.  @brunoantony9257  Why aren't YOU on the border, stopping illegals from entering, if you care so much?

  701. Europe needs to accelerate its own development of future weapons & their components, as the US is likely to use ITAR to restrict the use of anything it supplies. Case in point: Stormshadow/Scalp will no longer be using US sourced materials after the middle of this year. Their loss, not ours.

  706.  @iris1224wwad  Britain simply wasn't capable of waging war in 1938. We'd have lost. No ifs or buts.

  710.  @05KAR  Remind me again which countries the EU launched a war of imperialist aggression against... How many people has the EU poisoned & murdered? How many fake elections has the EU had? Oh, the answer is NONE. Now please go away & come beck after you've gotten an education.

  715. Does this mean YouTube will now remove the accounts of all the Class of 2022 through 2024kremlin trolls for failing to declare they're being paid & directed by Putin's regime? No? Thought not. YouTube is OK with the continued presence of those supporting war crimes in Ukraine, which makes YouTube also a supporter of those committing war crimes.
    1
  716. Russia is currently ruled by a dictatorial regime of an undeniably fascist nature, as defined by pretty much any understanding of the term. History shows the depths fascists will stoop to. Putin's Russia MUST be restrained within its own borders. Slava Ukraini.

  720.  @playedout148  Aye. The dirt from Trump's bugged rooms from his visit to Moscow when he "didn't stay overnight" whilst his plane was there for 36 hours. No doubt the "entertainment" was supplied by the Kremlin...

  725. Lloyd Austin is talking out his ar$e regarding Ukraine's ability to cope with Abrams, especially in regard to the engine. Ukraine has been manufacturing, servicing & supplying turbine engines for DECADES. In fact, Russia has had issues servicing, sourcing & maintaining many of it's turbine powered assets since Putin decided to emulate Peter The Average.

  726.  @RanderG  Not the fascist pig dictator Putin, that's for sure. How about yourself - Trump?

  727. YouTube is now mass deleting comments made by us 'outspoken' supporters of Ukraine & critics of trump. They're operating a blacklist, so even if i comment on a gardening channel, it's 50/50 my comment ever appears. Google supports Putin & Trump.
    1
  728. Desecrating the Big Wagnerite cemetery at Nikolaevka is a big misstep by Putin, as he's now created some truly violent, dedicated & well trained enemies. Hopefully they decide to eliminate the swine.

    1
  731.  @Pemmont107 Agreed. It's utterly insane that European leaders are doing anything less than TOTALLY supporting Ukraine & mobilising military production to war levels. Because if Ukraine is forced to 'negotiate' (surrender) then WAR is coming to Europe, just like 85 years ago...

  732. Thanks to Ukraine for protecting the rest of Europe from Putin's imperialist aggression. It grieves me our governments are doing far less than they could to help you.

  735. That helicopter had been in the same place since the early 1990s.... The GPS jamming has been ongoing since at least 2008. Methinks the free world needs to show Kaliningrad exactly what electronic warfare really means. Trump is killing Ukrainians.
