  1. Some blame the shrubbery, some blames the cold weather. But we all know the key of the Russian defenses are the anti-vehicle laser guided precision shovels.

  2.  @edthebumblingfool  Then why America is scared to give Ukraine long range missile? Keep it real, homie.

  3. It makes no sense for them to kill civilians. There were over 30 thousands people there, why did they kill this specific 500? Those are civilians casualties. It happens, it's war. Not intentional but civilians casualties exist. How many civilians died in Iraq 2003?

  4. Right, just like how those wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Serbia, Syria are never internationally recognized. It's over, pal. You hope that by providing some resistance, you can hope for Russia retreat. But no, those 4 regions are officially part of the Russian Republic. In Monday, they would be announcing formal governance system and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Taking over one village that accounts for less than 0.1% of the total population in those regions do not mean you have control. Here's a real number. 99% of population in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia are under Russian Protection, you've launched the counter for a month now and you've recovered zero notable cities. It's over, pal.

  5. When you really think about it, that summit is filled with nearly insignificant players. I mean in total, they account for less than 10% of global population. It's not a grown up summit.

  6. Bashkortostan compared to Russia is equivalent to Utah compared to the United States. You're going to need more than that if you think "Russia" is in a crisis.

  7. That is insane in so many ways, because she doesn't realize how those laws were essentially written by colonizers and Imperialists to protect their hidden interest.

  8.  @rizkydarmawan6540  Well, unfortunately there's not even slightly of a competition since China is about 5 times the size of all the Asian countries combined. Doesn't matter if Indonesia push for that law or not, it's still for their hidden interests which is no longer accepted anymore. A country that consists of a small islands can't possibly claim territory over a wide area of important trading and security ocean territory.

  9.  @rizkydarmawan6540  Buddy, that's not how diplomacy works. China capability is 5 times the entire ASEAN bloc combines. So why don't you wake up? Sovereignty claim over important naval areas can not be made via ownership of insignificant islands. Like I said, your version of "International Law" is unacceptable to the Chinese, and their population is 2 - 3 times the entire ASEAN bloc. So get over yourself.

  10. Well, that town only accounts for 0.3% of population and even less percentage of area to the region so I think he'll be fine.

  11. Nobody allows NATO to have that right to expand it's military alliance to every country it wants. Are you crazy? By accepting members into NATO, NATO declared a war to countries that view NATO is a threat. Have some sense, hombre.

  12. That's a truly horrible plan. His visions are correct, but becoming friendly with America to utilize that goal is suicide. America prints the most "money" on Earth.

  13. They launched the counter for a month in Kherson, and they've managed to recover 2 villages. See how bad is that? 2 villages, not even cities, 2 villages.

  14. If the guy says the truth, he'll be out of a job and of a life. You're listening to a guy who has every incentive to lie. Every incentive.

  15. Little hombre, if push comes to shove, South Africa will exit Rome Treaty, shove that subpoena of the ICC to a sewage treatment plant somewhere and gladly invite President Putin into the summit.

  16. In this video, you'll see a bunch of cowards going interview an even larger number of cowards. Brilliant journalism.

  17.  @Broodplank86  In life, buddy, you have to look at everything, even the despicable things. Grow up and you'll see.

  18.  @DSan-kl2yc  Dictating the issue that affects a infinitely larger number of people for the interest of a significantly smaller number of people is Imperialistic, homie. There's absolutely no reason why Indonesia should have the same or bigger claim to that water territory than China, because China is 6-7 times larger than Indonesia. All men are created equal, homie, the divide of mother's nature share of the resources must be in some way proportional. For example, Russia, despite having less people, gets a gigantic amount of natural resources in exchange for most of those resources lies in the extremely cold temperature. That's proportional. The ocean territory is shared, it can't be divided unfairly.

  19.  @alaindelon611  Well, now the people of China disagree, who would have thought that situation changes after 70 years or so. Buddy, wake up. A treaty can be discriminatory can be broken if needs be.

  20.  @scribblescrabble3185  So by that definition, after 8 months, Russia is controlling 15% of Ukraine territory, after 16 months, it will be 30%? Keep it real, homie. Study real math, reclaiming a small insignificant town is reclaiming a small insignificant town.
    1
  21.  @scribblescrabble3185  Oh, you think math is only "linear equation". That's just adorable. Before you can do all those things, pal. Simple logical thinking of determining Russia objective would be a start. This town is important only because they're a connection point to the rest of Donetsk in the North. Had you studied real math, you would've known that the rest of Donetsk in the North has very little meaning to Russia, populations there are very few compared to the Southern Coastline. And this isn't an occupation, those 4 regions are of Russian Republic, the Russian Constitution will be amended this week and I supposed a grand decision will be made. Whether to treat Ukrainian regime as an enemy of the Republic and eliminate via the bomb in 60 minutes.

  22.  @BeaverZer0  Yeah, if you want to go further. Which Russia does not. Or at least not right now. You do realized that over 90% of Donetsk population is under Russian control, right? All the industrial region and economic center. Keep it real, homie.

  23.  @andin3720  They can surely do it, but there's nothing they can do because they don't control any territory of Russia. However Russia does control the entirety of Donbas and a major part of Kherson. And if those place are annexed into Russia, any attack on those place are direct attacks onto the Russian Republic. You pigs still don't understand, Russia has been playing very mercifully for the last 7 months. You attack the Russian Republic, the entire power of Ukraine shall go out, civilians territory will be bombed, and that clown comedian won't be able to charge his laptop anymore, not to mention do a live video call everyday.
    1
  24.  @joesterling4299  Probably because the annexation claims gives Russia full authority to defend it as it's own territory. The difference between you annexed somebody house and Russia annexing something is that Russia is very capable of destroying the other side completely. It's still the weekend, Russia will announce it's plan next week.

  25.  @easymoney8535  And what price is that? What more can you do to the Russians? You hold no power over them. Your sanctions failed horribly, you sanction Russia and the US life got worse. That's just sad.
    1
  26.  @MacLeeland  Oh, you're naive enough to think that Russia doesn't have nukes. Go ahead then, ask your government to invade them like they did with Iraq and Afghanistan. Naive lamb.
    1
  27.  @thebeautifulmanclub3790  Pretty much, if they want to, Russia can attack all of the NATO countries at once, because there's only like 200 notable cities, and that's not that many. Russia will be destroyed if it attacks, but so will the other countries.

  28.  @someonelikeyou6469  You actually think that the Ukrainian army will dare to continue if Kiev is erased from the map tomorrow? Pal, they have their loved ones as well.
    1
  29.  @orchunter8388  Oh, that's adorable. How do you plan to do that? Any attack on Russia mainland and most of the modern world will be erased as well. The same happens if Russia attacks the modern world. Do not be in the delusion that one side is total control, each side keeps the other side in check.
    1
  30.  @emanuelgaldes3515  What, you think the American overlord will dare to attack Russia over Ukraine? That's adorable. Nobody has any military power over Russia, the same as in nobody has any military power to America, maybe France and England. To engage in direct war with one of those countries means certain doom for both sides. If Russia erased Kiev tomorrow, no Russian cities will be erased, because annybody who dares to do that will also be erased from the map alongside with Kiev, mutual destruction. And unfortunately for you, the Western overlord cares more about themselves than Ukraine. Sad, isn't it.

  31.  @tuanta8903  That is impossible because majority of the people there are Russian, speaks Russian, has Russian culture. They're more than happy to follow Russian governance if it means getting their life back.
    1
  32.  @edthebumblingfool  Doesn't have to. Try doing that again and there will be massive retaliation. All those attacks are minor sabotages, they don't dare to attack them directly using American Weapons for a reason. The same reason why the Americans flat out refuse to give them long range missiles. Wake up, darling. It's about to end very quickly. Those territories are of Russia, and there are only 2 options. Both end with Ukraine surrender, before or after the tragic loss of countless lives.

  33.  @elitalks258  So why do you think they wasted their time killing 500 of them? If their goal is to kill civilians, it would've been much more, pal. Keep it real.
    1
  34.  @rjofusetsudzin8011  Uh, huh. Let's keep going with that, pal. So they have only 500 rounds? Go learn some math, dummy.
    1
  35.  @rjofusetsudzin8011  Now, that's impossible, pal. 500 is just 17 clips for a standard rifle. So unless there were only 17 soldiers there, that's just really dumb argument. They're allowed to lose more than 500 and people tend not to move once they're under gunpoint. Exactly why this specific 500? You think they throw a lottery of who dies and who doesn't? Keep it real, dummy. That's not how any armies work. Civilians casualties happen, pal. If Russia wants to kill civilians, they would have just carpet bombed the place like the Americans did in Iraq and Vietnam. Show some respect.
    1
  36.  @rjofusetsudzin8011  Based on basic hostages situation? If you think there were some kind of hunting fest in the city where the soldiers release civilians just to hunt them down, you're insane. Go study some math, pal.
    1
  37.  @rjofusetsudzin8011    Uh, huh. Stop playing whatever video games you're addicted to and go learn some math, pal. That is not how the military works. Doesn't matter what side they're on. Study real warfare.
    1
  38.  @rjofusetsudzin8011  Exactly, that's why there are civilian casualties. Your fantasy of intentional civilian targeting is well, a fantasy. So thank you for admitting that I was right.
    1
  39. No, pal. You don't understand how detached you are from reality. Get off Twitter and get a life. These newly appointed Supreme Court Justices are the result of the vote from by the people, by the people. The people just don't care about your feelings.

  40. Because even if Ukraine announce it annexes anything, they don't occupy any of it and capable of defending any of it. While if any town is a part of the Russian Republic, Russia will use all of it's might to defend those territory. Including erasing the city of Kiev of the world map withing 60 minutes. It's cruel but it's completely doable. You ever wonder why America refuses to give Ukraine long range HIMARS? Because they know that any strike into formally recognized Russia Territory means full scale war. And now the 4 regions have been officially annexed, US will forbid Ukraine from using US equipments to attack those region. Stop watching too much YouTuber war news and study real warfare.
    1
  41. That's another lie, NATO is not allowed to let Ukraine join. Because unfortunately for you, Russia and the Russian people see NATO as the enemy. Ukrainian are not allowed to decide to become Russia enemy by joining NATO and now they're paying the price. And no, they're not winning, not even close. Russia hasn't even shown their full strength yet.

  42.  @Naofumi-mk1mv  How do I put this gently? What you've seen in Ukraine so far is not the displayment of Russian warfare, Russia is treating this as a "special military operation". They haven't declared war on Ukraine. If it's a real war, with the objective to destroy the current government in Kiev, Russia would've have approached this very differently. Whatever America did in Iraq with 90 days of continuous bombing etc, times that by 10 and you'll see what's actual Russian war should look like. They have been showing extreme generosity for no reason. There will be total blackout over that entire country, no running water, no electricity, no communication infrastructure, people will starve if it's a real war. War is the mobilization of every resources necessary to force the enemy to obey to your will. Russia hasn't even gone remotely close to that.
    1
  43.  @Naofumi-mk1mv  Yes, because bombing civilians target such as power plants, water pipes, even carpet bombing cities will kill hundreds of thousands of people, all civilian in very rapid fashion. Pretty much like what the American terrorist did in Iraq. Show some respect, hombre. Hundreds of thousands of people in Ukraine still being alive is only due to Putin extreme generosity. If he had behaved like America in Iraq 2003, this would have been over.

  44.  @peterscherling9000  The enemy was identified, they just lost. The enemy here is the radical Islamists. The winning strategy is to impose fear and control on over the region in order to stop them from ever attacking the USA again. We did that for 20 years, and we would've continued to do that had the Biden retreat not been a total surrender. If you had gotten out with dignity and continue protection of the region through military missions working with the Afghanistan government, that would be a victory. But no, Biden surrendered.
    1
  45. Oh, please. With Biden incompetence, it's a lose lose situation for the world.

  46.  @Blanka1100  Oh, you're adorable. You think that there is an actual country called "Ukraine" in the history of the world. Let me enlighten you, little buddy. That cesspool of a country never existed in nearly 1000 years of history in the region. NEVER. It was created out of thin air 100 years ago to be a part of the USSR, and has only been independent, wrongfully so for the last 30 years. Okay, so unfortunately, the rightful "owner" of those territory, aka, the ethnic people that lives there, reject the nonsense of "Ukraine" claim. The Eastern part is of Russia, simple history, for the last 1000 years, overwhelming majority of the time, it's under Russian rule. And the Western part of it can be divided and throw to the Polish, the Hungarians and Lithuanians. Go learn some math and spare us your ignorance.

  47. That's not how it works, darling. USSR status and legal privileges are inherited by Russia. So oops, there goes your fantasy.
    1
  48.  @domerame5913  That's another falsity, kid. Those countries do not have the right to invite that hostile military alliances in. An official position of the US government called the Monroe Doctrine directly refuted your nonsensical claim. So why don't you go learn some math and spare us your ignorance? You, being a small country, has no right to threaten a far bigger country by indirectly helping to point a missile towards them. Are we clear on that? Yes, you may think you're living in a world where all country are equal but you're not. Some countries are small, represent far less number of people, their priorities have to be balanced by taking a backseat to bigger countries, responsible for far larger number of people. Go learn some math, hombre.

  49.  @domerame5913  Exactly where did you get this delusional idea of you having the right to point a gun at somebody else's head? Go learn some math.

  50. @Le-Cardinal  It's called big country privilege. Something like all men are created equal so the country with more men deserves more privileges. But the easiest answer is that because they can and they wish to do so, and there's nothing you can do about it.
