  1.  @chuzic  Nope, Russia started it. Russia didn’t honor the Budapest Memorandum. If it did honor the memorandum, the Minsk agreements never would have been necessary. Ukraine was practically forced to sign the Minsk agreement in order to try to avoid a war with Russia. Russia as usual also lied about Ukrainian atrocities in the Donbas region. When Ukraine challenged Russia to provide evidence to the UN, Russia ran and hid by boycotting the hearings. It would have been the perfect opportunity for Russia to justify its invasion, but instead it just confirmed that all Russia can do is lie.

  2.  @graemepeters5717  Not necessarily. Quite a large amount of the equipment provided has been as aid.

  3.  @graemepeters5717  Did the elected government go back on its word, and instead of progressing under the EU decided to align with Russia instead? Face it, the Ukrainians don’t want to be aligned with Russia. Who can blame them? Why in the world would they want to live like Russians with much lower living standards and less freedom? Did Russia not follow the Budapest Memorandum, which if Russia followed in the first place then the Minsk Agreements never would have been necessary. Ukraine only signed the agreements to try to avoid a war with Russia. Yet, Russia still invaded Ukraine, a sovereign country, held illegal referendums that were fixed from the very beginning. Plus, the fact that Russia has lied from the very beginning shows that itself knows what it has done is wrong. Russia lied about invading Crimea, only admitting the truth after it illegally annexed the territory. It lied about not having troops in Eastern Ukraine. It lies about the shooting down of MH-17. That’s all Russia does, lie, lie, lie.

  4.  @graemepeters5717  I recall that the Lend Lease didn’t start until quite a few months after the war had already started. What about those items provided beforehand? And if it’s like the Lend Lease in the past, much of the debt is forgiven. I haven’t read the details of the agreement.

  5.  @graemepeters5717  portions of each. For instance, if the equipment was destroyed there was no payments due. Google Lend Lease Resolution Programs and you will find, Against the $50 billion of lend-lease aid furnished by the United States, it received approximately $10 billion in so-called reverse lend-lease from its allies. After the war the United States negotiated settlement agreements with most of the recipients. In general, the agreements stipulated that lend-lease materials not used in the war should be returned or paid for, but the settlements were also shaped by the proviso written into the original lend-lease agreements, that final settlement terms should "be such as not to burden commerce but to promote mutually advantageous economic relations …and the betterment of worldwide economic relations." Within a decade of the war's end, settlement agreements totaling more than $1.5 billion had been negotiated, on which $477 million had been paid.

  6.  @graemepeters5717  it continues to state, Supplies that arrived after the termination date were sold to the United Kingdom at a large discount for £1.075 billion, using long-term loans from the United States, which were finally repaid in 2006. Similarly, the Soviet Union repaid $722 million in 1971, with the remainder of the debt written off.

  7. Russia is the warmonger. It invented Ukraine for no justifiable reason, just lies, and its troops are committing horrible atrocities against innocent people.

  8. Screw Russia and its war crimes.

  9. The US has far more friends than Russia and China, and they’re all grateful for the US’s support. Russia has no friends and China is surrounded by enemies.

  10. Zelensky is a better leader than Putin, and it’s Russia that sends its troops through the meat grinder. What’s even worse is that Russian troops shoot their own troops who retreat. It’s totally messed up, and yet you support it. The values the west supports is nothing like what you claim. It values people who have freedom. Even the Russian people know that they’re not free.

  11. Just curious, does India get angry when Russia sells equipment to China?

  12. What a load of 💩. There’s no evidence that the west is helping Ukraine, and if Russia didn’t invade Ukraine for bogus reasons this wouldn’t be happening!

  13. Liberate Poland my ass. You seem to have forgotten that Russia attacked Poland on a second front, planned with the Nazis to split up the Poland between themselves, and the Russians raped tens of thousands of Polish women and girls. It’s no wonder why the Poles dislike Russia so much.
    1
  14. Even Prigozhin himself has admitted that Russia’s losses are significantly worse than what the Russian authorities are reporting. Russia’s troops who have had their calls intercepted also have admitted that they are nothing more than cannon fodder. And finally, just do some simple Google searches, and it’s easy to find the battlefields loaded with dead Russians. In a recent call, a Russian soldier was telling his wife how all he does is transport truckloads of dead Russians.

  15.  @Q00997 Hahaha Russia is at best a regional power, and most definitely not a super power. Its three day operation is now over two years old and Russia has suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. Which a joke.
    1
  16. Dummy, it’s over 20 years old and it’s being replaced. The US has over 300 of them so it’s no big deal that a few are lost. Countries like Russia and Chinese that copy US designs are the ones behind.

  17. This is why nobody likes Russia. Ever wonder why Russia’s only allies are countries like North Korea and Iran? It’s comments like yours that make people despise Russia.

  18. Ukraine’s counter offensive has just barely started, and Russia is acting as though it’s already victorious. 😂 Remember Russia’s winter offensive? It was a complete failure, and it’s over. The Russian military has shown that it’s nothing more than an overhyped and poorly equipped and trained force.
    1
  19. Western trap? 😂 It’s Russia that invaded Ukraine totally unprovoked, and it’s Russia that’s intentionally targeting civilians. You watch too much Russian propaganda.

  20. So you supported Serbia when it was committing atrocities against innocent Albanians? Don’t deny the truth like the typical Russian troll. There’s tons of evidence, including mass graves sites, eyewitness testimony, etc. Ever hear about Sniper Alley? I still refuse the pictures vividly of how Serb snipers shot school kids crossing an alleyway trying to get water. Russia’s pure evil, and so are you for supporting it.
    1
  21. LOL, how did the winter offensive work out for Russia? It’s particularly funny that the only group of men who were able to achieve anything actually turned against Russia itself.

  22. Um, it was Russia that invaded Ukraine for no justifiable reason. And it’s Russia that is committing horrible atrocities against innocent people. Why are you supporting Russia when you know it’s in the wrong?

  23.  @MoeMan216 Then you’re not too smart. 92 Rubles equals one dollar. And you’re supporting a country that attacked another country for no justifiable reason, just lies. You’re supporting a country that has attacked thousands of churches, schools, hospitals, playgrounds, residential areas, shopping malls, railway stations, humanitarian centers, art galleries, etc. Russia’s troops have looted, kidnapped, raped, maimed, tortured and murdered thousands of innocent people, including kids. You’re rooting for the side of evil. WTF is wrong with you?
    1
  24.  @wolfswinkel8906 LOL, Russia’s using equipment from over 70 years ago. Prigozhin himself admitted that Russia’s losses were many times worse than what the Russian authorities are reporting. Russia can’t even defend itself. If Prigozhin wanted, he could have easily sent Wagner all the way to Moscow, and Russia had no way to stop him. Thank God Prigozhin changed his mind. The last thing that the world needs is a crazy madman like him who has nukes available.

  25. There are many ways to defeat SAMs these days. Look at how easily Turkey defeated Syrian systems with swarms of drones. Once the S-400 activates its radar it's nothing but a sitting duck.

  26. F-16s are being replaced with F-35s so it’s an easy exchange and for a good cause.

  27. It’s Russia that is sending its troops to their deaths. It’s Russia that treats them as cannons fodder. You should listen to the numerous intercepted calls of Russian soldiers who complain about it.

  28. You need to go back to school, Putinbot. NATO stopped Serbian atrocities against the Albanians. There are massive grave sites found. Fewer than 5,000 people died in Serbia. Russia has killed tens of thousands of innocent people in Ukraine by intentionally targeting schools, hospitals, playgrounds, humanitarian centers, shopping malls, railroad stations, residential areas, etc. Russia’s troops have looted, raped, maimed, tortured and murdered innocent people, including children. And yet you’re here spreading lies about the US. If you love Russia so much get off of US owned YouTube and use Russia’s crap version RuTube.

  29. Russia’s the king of corruption. Why do you think that Russia leads the world when it comes to such wide distribution of wealth, with very few rich while most live poor? Why do you think the Ukrainians want to be part of the EU? It’s because they see the poor living standards in Russia. You know it’s bad in Russia when the troops loot toilets, washing machines, microwaves, etc.

  30. The solution is simple. Russia needs to stop in unjustified invasion. You know very well that Ukraine is not a Nazi state, and that was just a pathetic excuse for Russia to invade Ukraine.

  31. Now you need some F-35's They're stealthy, plus they have the most advanced avionic suite in the world. Just recently in tests, they flew patrol and detected two incoming cruise missiles. They communicated with a Patriot SAM site, which took out the cruise missiles. This allows cruise missiles to be taken out form over the horizon, which cannot be done by a SAM on its own due to the curvature of the earth. It's also been used to destroy sea targets with Army missiles with its advanced sensors and communication network. In A2A combat, its stealth plus its advanced avionics, allows it to dominate the skies. Other legacy aircraft can launch missiles from way outside the target zone, while the F-35 being stealth can guide them to the target unnoticed. The plane is truly remarkable. I wish India had it to thwart off the bullying Chinese.

  32.  @MUsman-sm2nw  The US went into Afghanistan because of what happened on 9-11. It’s primary goal was to kill Osama Bin Laden and his task Qaeda thugs, which was largely achieved. The USA never intended to stay there forever, let alone twenty years. It should have left after killing OBL, but only stayed to try to help the Afghans install a democratic government.
    1
  33.  @MUsman-sm2nw  Al Qaeda was largely killed in Afghanistan. Do your own research. It had a very small presence there. From Brookings Institute, Al Qaeda today, 18Years after 9/11: Eighteen years after the 9/11 attacks, the al-Qaida organization that carried them out is a shell of its previous self. The global campaign against Osama bin Laden’s creation has achieved notable success. The ideas that inspired bin Laden and his followers have lost some, but not all, of their attractiveness. There is no place for complacency, but the threat is different..

  34.  @tyagi800  I understand India’s belief that it should support Russia for all the times that Russia supported it through the years. However, in this case India is supporting a madman, Putin. Despite being told that they’ll be arrested, Russians are massing in the streets to protest against the war. Many feel that Ukrainians are more of brothers than enemies. Personally, I just hope the war stops soon. As I’ve gotten older, I detest wars more and more. They create too much needless suffering.
    1
  35.  @MUsman-sm2nw  Did the US have plans to stay in Afghanistan forever? No, it’s primary objective was to kill Osama Bin Laden and his his thugs. That’s the reason why the US went into Afghanistan in the first place. Twenty years in Afghanistan was already way too long.
    1
  36.  @asht7899  Only after it was clear that the US was leaving did the Taliban take start taking control. The US had already abandoned several bases before the Taliban start attacking the Afghan army on a massive scale. The USA didn’t just conveniently leave. It was there for twenty years and it had a predetermined deadline date to leave by in the agreement with the Taliban.
    1
  37.  @asht7899  Don’t give me that bullshit. So when the US helped defend South Korea was that for money? No. When the US kicked Sadam out of Kuwait, was that for money? No. Do you even know why the US went into Afghanistan in the first place? Not for money. Get off your lazy ass and do your own research about what the agreement with the Taliban was for.
    1
  38.  @asht7899  Are you really this stupid? WTF is wrong with you? Yes, after the US left the Taliban were able to conquer Afghanistan. The Afghan army was supposed to take over after the US departed, but obviously they weren’t up for the task. They lacked air power to defeat the Taliban. Use your brain. And the purpose of the agreement paved the way for intra-Afghan negotiations on a political settlement and a comprehensive ceasefire. After the Taliban and the US entered into the agreement fighting had stopped and the US didn’t lose any more soldiers. If you did just a little research you would find that the USA had no intention of staying in Afghanistan. Stop asking stupid questions and do some research.

  39.  @asht7899  What did you expect the US to stay there forever? The US public grew tired of the war, and twenty years was already too long. It was the longest war in US history and it costed trillions. The US should have left after it killed Osama Bin Laden, but it stayed another decade to try to help implement a democratic system, but it obviously failed. It would have been great if Afghanistan became another South Korea economically, but the US cannot change people’s traditions and ways. The US could have stayed one hundred years and the end result would have been the same. The US can’t possibly free every nation of oppression.

  40.  @asht7899  If the Taliban agreed up front to turn over Osama Bin Laden and stop Al Qaeda from using Afghanistan as a training base, then the US never would have had to deploy troops there in the first place. The USA could have stayed in Afghanistan for a hundred years and it wouldn’t have made a difference. The Taliban used Pakistan as a safe haven and it had a constant supply of new recruits from abroad. Until the people of Afghanistan want change themselves it’s going to stay under its same prehistoric ways. The American public didn’t like how Biden suddenly pulled out of Afghanistan. Both Biden and Trump had plans to remove the troops, it’s just how Biden did the job is what pissed the American public off. You haven’t done your homework so stop acting like you know wtf you’re talking about.

  41.  @asht7899  You just edited your comment to have an entirely different meaning. You’re right, the US went into Afghanistan to remove a threat and make sure it never happened again. There was no way that the USA was going to allow Al Qaeda to continue to train there and possibly prepare for another attack. The attack was totally reasonable and any other country would have done the same. In regards to Ukraine, what Russia is doing isn’t justifiable. It was completely unwarranted and Ukraine was not a threat in any way. Ukraine had already been denied admittance to NATO, and there were no plans to add it in the near future. What Russia has done is barbaric. No nation should support it. And of course the US isn’t going to risk going to war against Russia. It could potentially result in a nuclear war and/or WWIII. And you don’t think that supplying hundreds of millions in aid and military equipment to Ukraine isn’t helpful? In fact, the USA has already provided almost two billion in aid. WTF do you think is shooting down the Russian aircraft and destroying Russian tanks? My gawd, do you even think?

  42.  @mezgebufentea2419  I think you’re referring to the UK. At the same time loo up the Green Revolution and see how western technology helped save millions of Indians from starvation.

  43.  @asht7899  STFU with your dumbass comments. All countries have their own ugly past. For you to bring up native Americans is hysterical. Do you know how many millions of people Stalin killed in the Soviet Union? Don’t be such a hypocrite. Since you hate the USA so much WTF are you doing here on a US company web platform YouTube? And if Russia is so fucking wonderful go use it’s crap copy RuTube. I don’t act like that the US is so great. Get off your high horse and stop the BS. You’re defending what Russia is doing in Ukraine. There nothing to justify it. He’s been preparing for this moment for years. Seriously, wtf is wrong with you that you can’t even acknowledge that what Russia is doing is wrong? Putin is to blame, nobody else.

  44.  @asht7899  Nah, you’re just a US hater. The USA provides the most aid, relief, donations etc., than any other nation. Russia isn’t even ranked in the top thirty. Everyone hates Russia, especially right now. For you to not see how often Russia has lied and to attack Ukraine for no reason just shows that you have no ability to use common sense.
    1
  45. That’s because Russia has shown itself to be an overhyped military. Its army can’t beat Ukraine’s army that didn’t have a standing army force even four years ago. Russia’s Air Force can’t defeat Ukraine’s that is significantly outnumbered and ancient. And Russia’s navy has gone into hiding because a country without a navy has humiliated it. If you think Russia is so great, get off of YouTube and go use Russia’s crappy version RuTube.

  46. Correction: Ukraine fighting with tyrants North Korea and Iran who support Russia. The countries that support you says a lot about your own country’s actions.

  47.  Zraihan98 Winning? 😂 It’s winning at losing the most troops and equipment. It’s winning at losing territory in Kursk, where Ukraine has taken just as much land as Russia has taken all year. Russia’s also winning at being the most heavily sanctioned country. The biggest winners are the western countries. With just a small fraction of their million budget, Ukraine is significantly decreasing Russia’s military capabilities.

  49.  @mna7308 You do realize that Russia has its own Nazis? Check into the background of Wagner group. Look into the Rusich group. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is based on nothing but lies. It was totally unjustified.

  50.  @Jozef-g6m  You're kidding right? That's a Russian lie just to invade. Ukraine's leader is Jewish! There are actually more Nazis in Russia than there are in Ukraine. Look up the origins of Wagner Group if you don't believe me. Look up Rusich Group. It's another Russian military Nazi group.
