Comments by "Thetequilashooter1" (@Thetequilashooter1) on "Harvest Time🔥Another Massive Attack With Kinzhals💥Toretsk Is Collapsing⚔️Military Summary 2024.09.27" video.

Failed? LOL, Ukraine still controls a huge amount of area in it. Ukraine has taken just as much land in Kursk as what Russia has taken all year in Ukraine. It’s been a huge success.
2
@ロクアンドロールしかないでも好きだ Ukraine took more land in the Kursk region in less than a month than what Russia took from Ukraine over the last year. You think it’s right for Russia to be rewarded for its unjustified invasion? You think it’s right to commit horrific atrocities against innocent people? And what happened to Russia’s three day SMO that is now over 2.5 years old?
2
@SageAmariKeyes Nope. You just can’t accept reality.
2
@Craig-fl8jj Haha! 😆 In just the first two weeks alone Ukraine took 1,200 sq km of Russian territory and 93 villages. It’s taken Russia nearly the entire year to take that much from Ukraine.
2
@marcoshernandez4709 There is no bragging. It’s Russia that has taken humiliating losses. That’s what happens when you’re on the offense for the majority of the time. You should watch all the videos from Russian soldiers who describe how poorly they are treated, and how they are forced to go attacks against fortifying positions. Russia’s has one big advantage, a large supply of manpower. It’s why Russia uses them so carelessly.
2
@calluxdoaron1903 That’s a bunch of nonsense. Russia from the very beginning thought taking Ukraine would be just as easy as taking Crimea. It’s Russia that didn’t hold up its promises under the Budapest Memorandum to never invade Ukraine in exchange of it giving up its nukes. Why shouldn’t Ukraine be able to join NATO? It’s an independent country that can make its own decisions. Do you blame them for wanting to join NATO? Just look at what happens to the countries that don’t.
2
@loris9744 Why are you lying?
2
@jackzgb1232 Russia is no longer the USSR. Why do you think NATO has expanded? It’s solely because countries like Georgia and Ukraine don’t want to be attacked by Russia. It’s why the Baltic countries are helping Ukraine the most as a percentage of GNP. And why is it that Russia had no problem with Sweden and Finland joining the alliance, but Ukraine can’t?
2
Says who, the Russian media? 😂
1
@Craig-fl8jj Says who, the Russian media? “Ukraine has seized 1,263 square kilometers of Russian territory in two weeks of the Kursk invasion, per its estimates. That's more land than Russia has taken control of in Ukraine since the start of the year, according to available data.” Keep denying the truth. That’s all you can do.
1
@Slav4o911 And it cost Russia many lives to take it. Whose fault is that? Ukraine was smart to do what it did. Its military is much smaller than Russia’s and it doesn’t have nearly as many soldiers as Russia. Ukraine’s military wasn’t even ranked in the top twenty at the start of the war. I think they’ve done quite well considering how they were outgunned and outmanned.
1
@Al-gk2jk Where are all the Nazis in Ukraine? The world is still waiting to see them.
1
@Al-gk2jk Where have all the Nazis gone to in Ukraine? We’re all still waiting. Even captured Russian soldiers themselves have said they haven’t found any. Russia has not shown any evidence either. And you do realize that Russia has its own Nazi groups?
1
@ariellegolas4508 They invaded Kursk to be able to use it as an exchange tool for peace negotiations in the future. They also invaded the area to try to pull Russian troops out of Ukraine.
1
@zani1106 Is that the best you have? You can’t argue the subject so instead you make a childish insult. It’s your problem that you can’t cope with reality.
1
And what do you think Russians feel about Russia’s war that was supposed to last just three days is now over 2.5 years? Russia’s military was once respected. It’s now mocked and laughed at.
1
@angelomassa1095 Captured Russian soldiers were told it would take just 3days. It was also recorded in intercepted calls. The Russian media even said that it would take Russia just a few days to win. Deny, deny, deny, that’s all you can do.
1
@azmonrougier Why should the west go to war when Ukraine is already doing a great job at humiliating Russia’s military? Ukraine didn’t even have a navy, and now the Russian Black Sea fleet has gone into hiding. Ukraine’s air force is significantly outnumbered and outdated, yet Russia still couldn’t achieve air superiority. Russia’s army has done little against a country whose military wasn’t even ranked in the top twenty as a military power. Russia’s military is literally the laughing stock of the world.
1
@azmonrougier Too scared? 😂 There’s nothing to be scared of. Ukraine has shown the world that Russia’s military has been way too overestimated in strength.
1
@loris9744 Wrong. Intercepted phone calls of Russian commanders said that it. Captured Russian soldiers admitted that they were told that by their commanders. Even the Russian media said it.
1
@MauroTriques I don’t lie. There’s no need to. The facts speak for themselves. Please don’t tell me your source is the Russian media. You should know better by now. Tell me honestly for what justifiable reason did Russia invade Ukraine?
1
@LuisaFranciscoMucheca Instead of making an argument, you resort to a response with nothing but foolish talk. Russia can’t even defend its own border. Look at how Wagner Group was heading towards Moscow and Russia couldn’t stop it. It was just a few thousand men. Putin had to flee in fear. Do you really think that the west is supposed to be impressed?
1
@moon9832 Captured Russian soldiers said it, as well as intercepted calls from Russian officers. The Russian media said it numerous times too. We all got a good laugh watching it on YouTube channel The Russian Media Monitor.
1
@moon9832 Russians said it too.
1
@davidblazevic3125 LOL, the US has been Ukrainians largest supplier, and it’s only sent less than 5% of its annual defense budget. Most of the equipment is old and is just sitting in storage. Imagine if Russia had to go up against a modern military, one with a very large and advanced air force, a modern army that’s significantly larger than Ukraine’s, and a real navy. Russia wouldn’t last a month.
1
@davidblazevic3125 What do you expect? Ukraine’s military is significantly smaller and less powerful than Russia’s so of course they need help. Why is it that Russia has to beg North Korea and Iran for help?
1
@davidblazevic3125 Russia isn’t fighting NATO. 😂 NATO has provided a small amount of weaponry that is in its arsenal, with much of it being old and no longer in use. Even the ATACMS are 30 years old and were planned for demolition.
1
@davidblazevic3125 Why doesn’t Russia ask the Houthis for help? It’s already getting help from Iran and North Korea.
1
@Auzzzie82 I am not Russian so I don’t lie. What proof do you want exactly? Don’t you know how to use Google?
1
@e_valley2707 Exactly!
1
@Auzzzie82 You mean like the kind of evidence Russia makes up? Like how Russia claimed that the Ukrainians were committing atrocities against civilians in the Donbas region, but when Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence before the United Nations, Russia boycotted the hearings. It would have been the perfect time for Russia to justify its invasion, but instead it just confirmed that Russia can only lie.
1
@Auzzzie82 Um, don’t you recall that Russia lost in Afghanistan? 😂 And I bet you don’t even know why the United States was in Afghanistan because if you did you would not have left such an ignorant comment. The US achieved its primary goal in Afghanistan, and it lost only around 2,000 troops over twenty years. Russia loses more than that in a week in Ukraine.
1
@Auzzzie82 You mean like the kind of evidence Ukraine asked Russia to provide for its supposed crimes against civilians in the Donbas region? Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence in front of the UN, but instead Russia boycotted them? It would have been the perfect opportunity for Russia to justify why it invaded, but now everyone knows that it was only for Putin’s fragile ego.
1
@Imperius12 It’s more like Russia can’t win even with the little help NATO has provided. If NATO was actually fighting Russia would have lost a long time ago.
1
@calluxdoaron1903 There never was an agreement that NATO would not expand. That’s Russian propaganda. Think about it logically. Would such an important agreement be done without having it in writing? Russia couldn’t even keep its word when in writing with the Budapest Memorandum. And unlike Russia, NATO has only expanded because countries wanted to join the alliance. Nobody was forced. In fact Ukraine has been rejected in the past from joining. Furthermore, as long as Ukraine had territorial issues with Russia it never could have joined the alliance. It’s against its bylaws. Russia’s only way to expand is by war. Russia has by its own actions caused NATO to grow. You know very well that NATO would never attack Russia. Just look at the recent satellite photos of Russian bases on its border with Finland. They’re practically empty. The soldiers are in Ukraine fighting. If NATO was such a threat Russia sure would not let that happen.
1
@Imperius12 Ukraine did nothing to have Russia invade it. Tell me honestly for what reason did Russia invade?
1
@jackzgb1232 And Russia said it would never invade Ukraine in exchange for its giving up its nukes. After the USSR collapsed Russia had no power to force NATO to not expand eastward. Something of that significance would be in writing. There’s nothing. You know very well that Russia is not concerned about NATO invading Russia. If it was, it wouldn’t have vacated its bases along its border with Finland to use those troops to fight in Ukraine.
1
@jackzgb1232 You have got to be kidding. I have actually seen videos of Russian people being interviewed laughing hysterically if they thought Ukraine would ever invade Russia. You know very well that is ridiculous.
1
@jackzgb1232 The US made no assurances in the memorandum to protect or even provide aid to Ukraine. Why would it when at the time the US wasn’t even an ally of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people still had a positive view of Russia? Russia really blew it. It once had a longtime friend, and now it’s got a forever enemy.
1
@jackzgb1232 Did you read my comment? The US is in the memorandum, but the only assurances that each party gave were that they would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial borders. Russia’s the only country that didn’t comply with its terms.
1
@jackzgb1232 Now you’re changing the subject. There’s a reason to be concerned about Iran. It’s a terrorist nation that supports terrorists like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Russia is no longer the USSR. Why should it have any guarantees that NATO won’t expand eastward? Russia has no leverage to tell countries what they can and cannot do. All it does is make threats and take countries by force that are not in NATO.
1
@jackzgb1232 Again, if there was a promise to not expand eastward Russia would have required it to be in a written agreement. There’s nothing. James Baker didn’t have any kind of authority to make that kind of promise either. It would need to be approved by Congress and the President. Facts are the USSR was collapsing, and it had no leverage to make any kinds of deals.
1
@jackzgb1232 Yes, there was talk about Ukraine joining NATO, but there’s nothing firm. Under NATO’s bylaws a country cannot join if it has territorial border issues with another nation. It makes perfect sense as NATO doesn’t want to instantly have to be involved in a war for a country that wants to join the alliance. If Russia was smart it would have done nothing.
1
@jackzgb1232 There’s a big difference. There was strong belief that Iraq still had chemical weapons. Saddam himself admitted after he was captured that he tried to fool the world. It’s not because of the US that he feared as he never thought that the US would actually attack, but he feared Iran. There are other reasons. Iraq wouldn’t let UN inspection officers access to sites expected to hold chemical weapons. Not all chemical weapons were accounted for. Some US disposal experts who returned from Iraq got ill from exposure to chemical weapons. Russia on the other hand invaded for no justifiable reason.
1
@jackzgb1232 NATO attacked Serbia because it was committing atrocities against the Albanians. And like I said earlier, if Russia was really that concerned about NATO it wouldn’t have removed its troops from its border with Finland and sent them to Ukraine. Putin invaded out of pure greed, nothing else.
1
@jackzgb1232 The US and its allies aren’t going to give its best when there’s risk that it can fall into Russia’s hands and be studied. And why shouldn’t older weapons be provided when they’re working so well? Look at the ATACMS, Bradleys, M-113s, Hummers, etc. They’re just collecting dust in the US, while Ukraine can put them to good use. What do you think we’re going to give Ukraine our B-21 bombers and F-35? Are you kidding?
1
@jackzgb1232 Is that why we’re seeing so many vintage Russian tanks and BMTs on the battlefield?Yes, the west has had low numbers of artillery shells. It’s expected though as that is a Russian strategy. The US focuses more on air power. Artillery production is significantly increasing though as both European countries and the United States have made new production plants. The west also has helped Ukraine build its own plants. There’s one facility in the US that by itself is now producing around 100,000 shells a month so your figure must be outdated. Patriot missile production will also go up as they’re in high demand. Right now a plant is being considered in Japan. The same goes for Javelin and Stinger missile production. Russia’s invasion woke up the west. Other plants are also in the works like a HIMARS facility in Poland. The U.S. is not as reliant on tanks as it once was and it’s got a huge stockpile of them. They’re too big and difficult to move against countries like China. Heavy armor is needed for Ukraine because they don’t have a strong air force. Just to put things into perspective. The U.S. has only provided around 4-5% of its defense budget for Ukraine. And we’re not even talk about all the kinds of weapons that the the U.S. would use that Ukraine doesn’t have the capability. And unlike with Ukraine, there wouldn’t be any restrictions imposed on their use.
1
@jackzgb1232 Do you really think that the US would give B-21 bombers, F-35s, heck why not an aircraft carrier? Be sensible.
1
@jackzgb1232 How old are your figures because both in the US and in Europe new plants have been built. For instance, there’s one plant in the US by itself makes around 100K shells/ mo.
1
@turtleninjaa5353 Russia hasn’t won the economic war. That’s ridiculous. Guess where all the hundreds of billions of frozen Russian assets that are going to be used? To help rebuild Ukraine. If it wasn’t for the Lend Lease Act Russia would have lost to Germany. Stalin said it himself. Russia lost in Afghanistan, while the US accomplished its primary goal. I bet you don’t even know why the US was in Afghanistan in the first place. NATO wasn’t at war in Syria. Do you even know how and why western forces are there and under what authorization? It’s not a proxy war in Ukraine. It’s a war that Russia started for no justifiable reason. The west is just helping Ukraine defend itself. You need to go get a real education before making any more comments.
1
@turtleninjaa5353 Russia has not won the economic war. Seriously WTF? Over 300 billion in frozen Russian assets will be used to help Ukraine. Russia actually already lost the war in Ukraine. Just think about why it invaded and the exact opposite happened. The US achieved its primary goal in Afghanistan, the same place where Russia lost. The US wasn’t at war with Syria. Do you even know why the US was in either Afghanistan or Syria?
1
@turtleninjaa5353 The war in Ukraine is not a NATO proxy war. It’s a war that Russia started for no justifiable reason, and NATO is helping Ukraine defend itself. And quite frankly after all the years of listening and reading Russian comments about how superior Russia’s military was compared to others, we’re all pleasantly surprised that Russia’s power has been significantly overestimated in power and capability.
1
@loris9744 Russian soldiers were also told by their commanders that it would take at most three days. It was also said by the Russian media.
1
@loris9744 No they didn’t. Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence before the UN and guess what Russia did? It boycotted the hearings. It would have been the perfect time for Russia to justify its invasion, but instead it only confirmed that all Russia does is lie.
1
@loris9744 That’s not true. Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence before the United Nations, and Russia boycotted the hearings. If Russia had provided proof it would have helped justify its invasion, but it just proved that Russia made it up.
1
@loris9744 That’s a Russian lie. You should know better by now.
1
@robertbradbury7921 It’s not BS. Russian commanders told the soldiers that it would take just three days. It’s because Russia thought it was going to be as easy as taking Crimea. Intercepted calls of Russian commanders also talked about it. The Russian media also talked about it, and then they denied it. I don’t know of any Ukrainian personnel ever saying that it would only take a couple days for Ukraine to take Crimea. Do you remember the original initial attack? Russia’s troops were very poorly prepared. They didn’t bring the necessary supplies for a prolonged stay. They were expecting to be greeted with flowers not NLAWS and Javelins.
1
@danceofficial8987 You’re joking right? It’s Russia that invaded Ukraine for no justifiable reason, not vice versa. What is Russia defending itself from, Ukraine? 😂 I remember a YouTube video where people in Russia were asked if they ever thought that Ukraine would invade Russia, and they all laughed at such a ridiculous question. It’s certainly not NATO because if NATO was such a threat Russia wouldn’t have pulled its troops from its border with Finland and sent them to Ukraine. Ukraine wants to join NATO like all the other countries, which is for protection from Russian aggression.
1
@robertbradbury7921 There’s a big difference between your comment and mine, you’re lying and I’m not. No captured Ukrainians ever said that they would take Crimea in just a couple days. Not only were Russian captives saying Russia would take Kiev in three days, but Russian soldiers also told loved ones in intercepted calls that it would last just a couple days. It makes sense why the Russian soldiers were so unprepared in the beginning as they never imagined a war dragging on this long.
1
@bkj100 Do you even know why the US invaded Afghanistan in the first place? If you did you would know it accomplished its primary goal. The Taliban were removed from power in less than a month and with just a few hundred special operations troops. The secondary goal was to have Afghanistan be democratic was unrealistic from the start. Unlike the Ukrainians, the Afghan people weren’t willing to fight for it. The US stayed 20 years which was much longer than anyone expected. During that time the US lost only 2,000 troops. Russia loses that many in less than a week in Ukraine.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 I actually agree with much of what you wrote except for the nazism part. Russia actually has more skinhead groups than Ukraine, including in Russia’s own military. Regardless, Russia did violate its terms by invading Ukraine in 2014 and again in 2022. Even though it’s got no legal weight, Russia violated the intention and spirit of the memorandum. Ukraine hasn’t joined NATO and it wasn’t able to do so as long as it had territorial disputes with Russia. Many pro Ukrainians actually argue with me saying that the US must protect Ukraine because of the memorandum, which for many of the reasons that you described isn’t true. Furthermore, there are no such terms that require the US to help anyway.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 That’s not true. That’s Russian propaganda at its best. Yanukovych went back on his word to join the EU so of course the people weren’t happy about it. They know the average standard of living in Russia is significantly lower than what it is in EU nations.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Do you even know why the US went into Afghanistan in the first place? Yes, the US achieved its primary goal. Its secondary goal was to help Afghanistan become a democratic country, which never would have worked no matter how long the US stayed. The people in Afghanistan need to want it and fight for it, which they weren’t. They had no interest in making it happen. Russia was part of the USSR and was the country behind it so yes Russia lost. With your reasoning Russia should not be a permanent member of the United Nations as that designation was granted to the Soviet Union, not Russia. Your reasoning would also mean that Russia didn’t help win WWII since it was the USSR back then.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 I see you can’t even tell me why the US even went into Afghanistan in the first place, and you’re trying to argue about the US intention to help Afghanistan be democratic? Now that is truly funny!
1
@bkj100 Russia fought sheep herders itself and lost. In fact Russia lost more soldiers in a shorter time period, and it happened on Russia’s own border. The US had to travel halfway across the world to deploy its troops, something that Russia can only dream about of having such a capability.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Who cares if the economic agreement contradicted what it had with Russia? The Ukrainians wanted to be part of the EU. That is their choice, not Russia’s.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 It’s Ukraine that wants to be part of NATO, NATO isn’t forcing it. Ukraine wants to join so that it doesn’t have to go through the hell that it’s going through right now against Russia. It’s why every country that has joined NATO, to be free from Russian aggression. Just look at how much the Baltic countries are helping Ukraine. They have been under Russia’s thumb and they don’t want to go back.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Please don’t give me your fake sympathy about death tolls caused by US wars when Russia has committed numerous war crimes in Ukraine. Russia intentionally targets civilians, it’s used white phosphorus and cluster bombs on towns, it’s committed numerous atrocities. And for what justifiable reason? Seriously, tell me for what justifiable reason did Russia invade Ukraine?
1
@turtleninjaa5353 If it was a direct Russia would have already lost by now. You don’t think that the Iraq war was a ground war? The U.S. and UK rolled over Iraq’s positions. Russia is at best a regional power. Look at how it’s struggling against a country that wasn’t even ranked as a top twenty power. Russia’s air force can’t achieve air superiority. Russia’s army retreated so fast that it became Ukraine’s largest supplier of tanks. And Russia’s navy has gone into hiding in the Black Sea. Do you even know why the US was in Afghanistan and Syria? Obviously not by your comment. You say that the US is a joke on the ground, and yet look at how just 40 US HIMARS have decimated Russian positions, while the US has many times that number. Look at how the Bradleys have embarrassed Russian forces. It’s Russia that has been embarrassed. A small contingent of Wagner group was heading towards Moscow and Russia had no way to stop them. Putin had to flee in fear.
1
@turtleninjaa5353 LOL, you obviously don’t have a clue why the US was in Afghanistan or Syria in the first place. How can you even make a comment about losing when you don’t know why it was there? The US and UK rolled over Iraqi positions. Russia doesn’t even have the capability to go half way across the world and fight. It’s struggling on its own border against a country that wasn’t even a top twenty ranked power at the start of the war. Look at how just 40 HIMARS from the US has caused so much trouble for Russia. The US army has ten times that not including MLRS. The US gave Ukraine just 300 Bradleys that are old 30 year models, while the US has thousands of much more modern ones. If it was a direct confrontation Russia would have lost long ago. It’s Russia that started this senseless war. Can you even tell me why it was necessary?
1
@turtleninjaa5353 It’s the Russian army that’s the biggest joke. Its retreating forces have been Ukraine’s largest support of tanks. The US has proven Ukraine with just 40 HIMARS units and look at how much trouble they’ve caused Russia. The US army has over 400 of them. The US has provided Ukraine with just 300 Bradleys that are just old models just collecting dust in the US. The US has thousands of more modern ones in its army. Russia couldn’t even stop Wagner when it was heading towards Moscow. You’re just bitter that the Russian military isn’t as good as you thought it was.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Whatever.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Most did want to join and what proof do you have that those who didn’t were beaten up by the government? Sounds like a typical Russian troll comment to me, in other words a lie.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Just as I thought, you don’t have any proof. Do you mean the Russian lies about what happened in Donbas? Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence before the UN of Ukrainian atrocities in the Donbas region as Russia accused it of committing. Guess what Russia did? It boycotted the hearings! It would have been the perfect time for Russia to justify its invasion, but instead it confirmed that all Russia can do is lie. You really should know better by now.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Just as I thought you don’t have any proof. You mean the lies about Donbas? Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence before the UN of Ukrainian crimes in the Donbas region as accused by Russia. Guess what Russia did? It boycotted the hearings. It would have been the perfect time for Russia to justify its invasion, but instead it just confirmed that Russia lied once again. You should know better by now.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Because they don’t meet the membership requirements. Try doing research before commenting.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Yep, you don’t have proof. You mean the Russian lies about Donbas?
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Watch some interviews with some of the people in Donbas. Most are not at all happy with what Russia has done in the region. Russia’s evil. Everyone knows it.
1
@robertbradbury7921 Yep, no proof, just as expected.
1
@robertbradbury7921 You mean the lies that Russia told about Donbas?
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Russia didn’t invade Ukraine because of its wanting to join NATO. It was a land grab. Nothing more. NATO isn’t going to invade Russia. Russia had no problem with either Sweden or Finland joining the alliance, and Russia’s pulled its troops from its border with Finland to use them in Ukraine. Why can Finland and Sweden join but not Ukraine?
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 A better question is what kind of friendship can Ukraine have with a country like Russia that invaded it? Why would Ukraine want to be anything like Russia when the standard of living is much better in EU countries?
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 That’s not true at all. The Baltics have flourished under the EU. Why do you think that the Baltic countries are donating so much to Ukraine? They’re donating more per GNP than all other countries. Other than Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the rest of Russia isn’t very desirable. Ukraine is an independent country that should be able to make its own decisions. It wants nothing to be like Russia, yet Russia can’t let it go. This war is Russia’s fault, nobody else’s.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 You don’t see anywhere near the level of poverty in the UK as in Russia. People live in places in Russia that would be condemned in the UK. Russia talks, talks, talks, nothing more. Russia’s not going to pass Germany. Russia’s income is from raw materials, and much of the world is buying from other countries instead of Russia.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 I don’t lie. There’s no need to. Ukraine has been rejected from joining NATO several times. You’re the one lying. Why can Sweden and Finland join NATO but not Ukraine? If NATO was such a threat why has Russia pulled its forces from its border with Finland and sent them to Ukraine? You keep avoiding these questions because you know you’re wrong. When has NATO ever invaded another country in order to conquer territory? Never. It’s not like Russia.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 I’m not even going to entertain your hypothetical situation because it’s ridiculous. Unlike Russia the US is friends with its neighbors. Why does Russia require certain privileges that its borders must be neutral? No other country requires a buffer zone. If Russia got along better with its neighbors it wouldn’t be in this situation.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 Who cares what Putin thinks? Why does Russia require these privileges? You still haven’t answered my earlier questions. Why was it okay with Russia for both Sweden and Finland to join NATO but Ukraine can’t? If Russia is so threatened by NATO why would it pull its troops from its border with Finland and send them to Ukraine? No joke, there are satellite photos that show the Russian bases vacated. Russia would not do this if NATO was such a threat.
1
@efghggdxlmfn33 If Russia didn’t invade Ukraine then neither Sweden or Finland would have joined NATO. It’s not a stupid decision at all. They know their future security is more assured when it’s part of NATO than without. Can you blame them? Just look at how Russia treats countries that aren’t part of NATO. Putin is a dictator who wants the days of the USSR back. In 2015 he said, “Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself.”

@johnathanpearson3203 There’s a big difference with Iraq. Iraq was a neighborhood bully that invaded Kuwait. It was also suspected of having WMD’s which it agreed not to have after various UN Resolutions that were imposed because its using mustard gas on the Kurds in Northern Iraq. 😮
1
@johnathanpearson3203 The US didn’t use uranium shells illegally. Tell me what laws did the US break? None. And the effects of DU are widely disputed. It’s not like how Russia uses white phosphorus and cluster rounds on towns, which are actual war crimes. The US had good reason to believe Iraq had chemistry weapons. Saddam himself admitted after he was captured that he tried to deceive the world he did. It wasn’t out of fear of the U.S., which he never thought would actually attack, but because of his fear of Iraq invading and conquering Baghdad. Furthermore, Iraq wouldn’t allow UN inspectors access to all the sites suspected of having chemical weapons. Iraq wasn’t able to account for all the weapons. US army disposal experts who got ill were shown to have been exposed to chemical weapons. Iraqis witnesses also told the west that Saddam still had them. What they didn’t tell was that they actually wanted the west to overthrow Saddam. You really need to go back to school. The US didn’t invade Vietnam. It was helping the South defend itself from the invasion by communist North Vietnam.
1
@johnathanpearson3203 Almost everything that you wrote is either misleading or is wrong. No WMD were found, but there was good reason to believe that they were there. And when it comes to being held accountable, Russia is long overdue. Some of the atrocities that Russia has committed in Ukraine are pure evil. Russia also needs to be held responsible for the downing of MH-17 passenger jet and the civilian jet that was shot down by Russian fighters when it was heading to Japan. In contrast, when the U.S. accidentally shot down an Iranian airliner the US owned up to it and paid $62 million back in 1996 to the victims families, which equates to approximately $135 million today. Russia in the other hand has paid nothing for its faults. Quite frankly we expect this from Russia.

@efghggdxlmfn33 Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, it’s total bs but I don’t believe Blinken would help. I think some YouTube censors get power hungry and use their yielding power to delete comments that they really have no understanding about.
