  1. Well done DW news! This is journalism.
    574
  2. At face value, this seems like a step in the right direction. I want to know more details though.
    57
  3. "Why are they holding these peace talks on world economic forum in Davos?" Isn't that self-explanatory? They are talking about how the profits of certain corporations can be assured as part of the peace deal.
    53
  4. Let's adress the elephant in the room: West is afraid of losing their grip on African resources.
    47
  5. There definitely was plenty of sexual violence, we just need to find the evidence, which is definitely there for us to find, because we know it happened.
    42
  6. Must be super interesting for NK to see what the world is like outside.
    41
  7. If you want to solve the wage gap: study STEM and work hard.
    41
  8. Uranium.
    36
  9. When did sanctions become acceptable form of international politics? It's collective punishment of ordinary people.
    26
  10. Poland should not necessarily be closer to EU. Let Poland be Poland and collaborate where interests overlap.
    25
  11. I bet they thought they were ordinary civilians. What a blunder.
    20
  12. It seems Ukraine's independence depends on foreign aid.
    17
  13. Half a million dead in order to dunk on Putin? You are a psychopath.
    14
  14. I can assure you that the Portugese are not shocked about wild fires. I have a Portugese colleague. Wildfires has been a thing in Portugal every summer as far as he can remember.
    14
  15. Is that worse than using weapons as weapons?
    13
  16. Dear DW News. Stop telling me how to feel about world events.
    12
  17. Let's have a referendum in each of the 93 member states to see how well supported the UN Sustainability goals are by ordinary people. If these referendums turn out in support of the goals, it would give the cause a lot more legitimacy and dispel the suspicion that it is merely a project cooked up by an elite. I think this would help realize the goals.
    12
  18. I think them holding a security conference means they are worried.
    12
  19. Finland is a sovereign country, meaning it is responsible for its own actions.
    11
  20. Gavrill Xanthopoulos, 2007, Institute of Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems, Athens: "Whereas we had more small wildfires in the past, we recently have fewer but larger blowups where our capacity is exceeded. This reflects a shift in strategy from prevention to suppression, i.e. buying trucks and airplanes rather than responsible management of forested areas. The problem with suppression is that the success of one year carries over increased risk to the next due to build-up of fuel for the fire."
    10
  21. 100-200 kilotons of unexploded bombs! Germany certainly has a history.
    10
  22. Support for Ukraine, until the end, of the world.
    9
  23. Host: Please tell the viewers that Putin certainly did this.
    8
  24. What does it mean to be populist in a democracy? Sounds like a winner.
    8
  25. Loaded question. How reliably can we say that this summer's wildfires reflect a trend rather than being an outlier?
    7
  26. Once again, the burden of change is shifted onto the shoulders of consumers. They adjust their habits slightly, feeling like they're changing the world by doing their part. Meanwhile business continues as usual. This is an EU problem, not a Romanian problem.
    7
  27. 2016 was a close call, but it seems we can't avoid Hillary.
    7
  28. "How will I feed my four wives ?" Dude, maybe share the burden a little?
    7
  29. Who are the people trying to get to Finland? I'd like to know more about them.
    6
  30. Who could have guessed that Germany's choice to rely heavily on Russian gas would become a problem?
    6
  31. Greece has been in deep economic crisis since 2008 and have implemented austerity measures in accordance with IMF conditions. I wonder how much this affected their preparedness for fighting wildfires, and whether this has been taken account before attributing them to global warming.
    6
  32. Arab spring. Yaaaay! African spring. Sanctions!
    5
  33.  @naimkozi3767  First step would be to listen.
    5
  34. @thegarfield2414 Alright, hence war.
    5
  35. Europe had a few decades of peace. Now we're marching willingly for WW3, under the sound of our own cheers. We forget so fast.
    5
  36.  ericandrews1661  Worked for my female colleagues.
    5
  37. Sweden here. More snow than usual this year. Very inconvenient. I ended up 15 min late for work. We are doomed.
    5
  38. Putin bad, Putin weak, Putin dictator, Putin unpopular. Got it. Now I'm well informed what the conference was about.
    4
  39.  @hoang1730  Gladly! What's the point of owning a house when the world is ending?
    4
  40. While weapons manufacturers are working very hard to produce top quality weapon systems, news media is working even harder to manufacture consent for buying them. It's disturbing to watch smiling reporters talk about killing machines with a jolly timbre on their voice.
    4
  41. Denmark has multiple times proven to be one of the most sober democracies in Europe. I trust they will do the right thing again. I hope Sweden does too.
    4
  42. Europe decided that their most fertile farmland is better used for geopolitical standoff. In the process Europe also made enemy with world's main supplier of nitrogen fertilizer. One would suspect that this may contribute to rising food prizes, but let's focus our attention on climate change.
    4
  43. Oh Elon made your advertisers upset? Well there we go. Unsubscribed.
    4
  44. This is nothing new. Finland has always been conservative when it comes to immigration.
    3
  45. Let me guess, the answer is to transfer farmland ownership from small independent farmers to a certain giant multinational corporation who promises it can totally prevent crises.
    3
  46. I'm starting to think the goal isn't to drain Russia but to drain Europe.
    3
  47. What does victory look like?
    3
  48. This video even made the case that water scarcity will increase due to rise of demand driven by expansion of farming in dry regions. Sounds strange to try to solve that by focusing on CO2.
    3
  49.  @SkyDiver-wd5oj  RFK Jr explained recently that the fact that aid is provided in the form of loans, it allows the lender to impose conditions on the country. This has allowed them to privatize and transfer natural resources from Ukraine to a small set of America-based corporations, under the pretense of "aid".
    3
  50.  @jps0117  Sounds like pretty much every politician ever.
    3
  51. This is bad.
    3
  52. Neglecting half a million dead. Psychopath.
    3
  53. The number of hurricanes increased by approximately a trillion trillion percent since last year in California. Thanks global warming.
    2
  54. I'm starting to think this is the point. There are people who can't wait for WW3 to fill their hallow souls with purpose.
    2
  55. Germany's economic model isn't doomed, but it is sabotaged, by the US.
    2
  56. US applied sanctions to 20 countries Since 1998. Is that different?
    2
  57. 17 years for tearing down a fence? Seems a bit harsh.
    2
  58. Oh how we will suffer from not watching/funding EU ads on X.
    2
  59. Thank you for covering this! A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
    2
  60. I would like to think that the EU commission is less biased than WHO and defend human lives and health. But this does look like a standoff between business interests acted out through corrupt institutions.
    2
  61. Lame excuse. Let's just admit it, this is pure big power geopolitics, nothing else. Europe is taking part in the containment and rollback of China's growth as an economic power. The belt and road initiative was a way to circumvent US sanctions and control of Chinese trade routes. In the long run this will contribute to further inflation as Chinese products become increasingly taxed.
    2
  62. Running ads for Naftogaz, are we DW News?
    2
  63. @eastdawn2471  Yeah, we could have asked what Europe has to gain from supporting wars started by our supposed ally under false pretences, but we keep letting ourselves get distracted and fight among ourselves. A synic would suspect this is by design.
    2
  64. Guest: This has not been verified by any other source, so we can not say for sure. Host: Oh, sure, but please go ahead and speculate about how this is certainly the work of Putin.
    2
  65. Exactly. The money is not wasted, it is transferred.
    2
  66. So essentially, the projected shortage is driven by rising demand, not climate change. No data or projection was presented showing draught is becoming more common.
    2
  67. I guess they're stepping up after Elon infringed on their market.

  68.  @klipk7296  You missed the point.
    1
  69.  @dodelbeere  Yes.
    1
  70. Putin bad. Ukraine brave and needs arms. Got it. Very diverse panel discussion.
    1
  71. Instead of going renewable, let's build an ark and repopulate. This corrupt agenda driven media machine needs a good drowning.
    1
  72. Would be nice with a plot so we can see whether this is a trend of just cherry picking.
    1
  73.  @DSan-kl2yc  That's exactly why Ukraine can only be independent as neutral.
    1
  74. Let me guess, they're not gonna be enough so we will have to give them more weapons. I don't even have to watch.
    1
  75. Putin being challenged with inconvenient questions and surprisingly elements like deepfakes was obviously not genuine but carefully constructed to give the perception of democracy, because otherwise our narrative is wrong, and we are obviously right, because we say so.
    1
  76.  @guydreamr  Okay thank you. And how is the border secured? How will relations with Russia heal?
    1
  77. ​ @guydreamr  Ok, but assume Ukraine gets enough foreign support to prevail on the Battlefield and borders are restored. Then what?
    1
  78. @@rorykinahanAlright, so what is your point?
    1
  79.  @bonnie7898  So Ukraine will be a protectorate? So much for independence.
    1
  80. Hundreds of comments all praising this, not one skeptical whether yet another donation of weaponry will make more difference than the previous. I'm going to go ahead and assume bots are involved.
    1
  81. I think I know what the problem is: they built the town on top of a volcano.
    1
  82.  @SantomPh  Fair point
    1
  83. Is the water shortage primarily due to rising demand or diminishing supply?
    1
  84. Only if they kill or torture Russians, apparently.
    1
  85. She has a point that it is also risky to rely solely on one's own capacity. If that fails for one reason or another you are in trouble. Hence "diversity" i.e. do not rely on any one source, be it China or one self.
    1
  86. Legacy news has quickly managed to narrow down four suspects: The Kremlin, Moscow, Russia or Putin.
    1
  87. Nothing new. It's mercantilism coming again.
    1
  88. ​ @anoncrazynonevilgooddecent7631  Right now, you are probably right. But this may change over time, given that US continues to make it hard for China to grow and exercise their influence. Say they encourage Taiwan and Hong-Kong to seek independence, sponsoring militant groups. Say they succeed in replacing Putin's regime by one that is US friendly and anti-China sentiment grows over time. Say economic sanctions are applied, motivated by violation of human rights. Say US ramp up involvement in Tibet and challenge China's access to economically and strategically important minerals. Etc. Chinese commitment to avoiding war with US will for sure be tested.

  89. Let me guess, global warming?
    1
  90. I feel a lot of "beating around the bush" in this video.
    1
  91. Swedish authorities are still investigating the NS2 sabotage. They disclosed early that they confirmed it was deliberate sabotage, then went silent. I WONDER WHY.... HMMM...!!!!
    1
  92. Let me guess: morale is faltering in Ukraine so leaders rush there to commit more rhetoric and resources in order to continue the slaughter.
    1
  93. Wait, are you sure these wildfires are deadly?
    1
  94.  @peabase Good to know I have another buddy.
    1
  95. TRAGEDY EXPLOITED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT TO JUSTIFY CENSOR AND TOP-DOWN CONTROL OF INFORMATION Do not fall for it.
    1
  96.  @ffffuchs  Soldiers often mean well, but are used by those who do not, to ends soldiers do not understand. What do you imagine winning looks like?
    1
  97. ​ @ThePhantom712  I'm sure you will feel like a hero before nuclear warheads detonate over European cities. I'll apply my courage when I believe in the cause.
    1
  98. We don't know that it was an accident though.
    1
  99.  @DSan-kl2yc  I think we can exclude interdimentional Mexican aliens based on Occham's razor.
    1
  100.  @DSan-kl2yc  Ukraine has the means and the incentive, so not even close. There is barely any evidence that interdimensional Mexican aliens exist.
    1
  101.  @HouseholdDog How do you know?
    1
  102. Next up: NATO counties donate much needed nuclear warheads to the cause. Everyone cheer in happiness.
    1
  103. DW News should be ashamed, turning war into entertainment.
    1
  104.  @AWriterWandering  Sure, but that's not a good reason for epistemological farts.
    1
  105. @plazthalt Sure, and Putin made Trump win the election and blew up his own pipeline for sure. News shouldn't engage in speculation. That's for the viewers to do.
    1
  106.  @wilhelmvanbabbenburg8443  True.
    1
  107.  @aceyage  "Dangerous fragmentation" kind of sets the stage.
    1
  108. @aceyage  Well duh.
    1
  109.  @nvelsen1975  What's Syriza?
    1
  110. As the obvious underdog it surprises me it took Ukraine this long to resort to terrorism.
    1
  111.  @toyotaprius79  Perhaps, but we have built a world that depend on it. Without it we can't feed current world population.
    1
  112. So tell me, if Putin rules by opression and murders all dissenters, why does he bother with such an event?
    1
  113.  @heyguyswhatshappening6210  And why is that necessarily or even desired if he is a tyrannical autocrat? Tyrants used to apply public executions and left the rotting corpses for display in order to instill fear in their people, not lull them into a sense of normalsy.
    1
  114. ​@victory-ukraine The reality is that Ukraine is sacrificed to bleed Russia. It is a strategic move by US to keep a potential rival down. It's all a deep tragedy. I hope you'll find a path to peaceful coexistence.
    1
  115. Many food crises aren't due to climate change but due to sanctions and wars disrupting farming and supply chains. What is World Bank doing about that?
    1
  116. @darinherrick9224  If A is not B then B is not A.
    1
  117. @cyberfunk3793  Scandinavia is actually warm for its latitude thanks to the gulf stream. Al Gore's initial scare warned that melting of the north pole may disturb the stream, leading to an ice age for northern Europe.
    1
  118.  @cancerino666  Interesting. Is there any reliable data confirming this? There's always risk for conflating growth of events and growth of news coverage.

  119. Important detail is also that many other search engines uses google services to perform the search, for example the list of blacklisted websites. This means that even if you switch engine, google may still influence your search results and collect data on your searches.
