  1.  @heikodankel3245  What are you talking about? Unless you want to put that statement on a timeline of events, its kind of meaningless. Of RUssia wanted to invade Ukraine proper, it would have taken out its military and airports on the first day yet they didnt even try for a few weeks. Go ahead and believe the evil mastermind Pootin built up troops for months just to forget about strategy 101.

  2.  @ViriatoII  With a surprise attack they could have taken out the majority of their defenses yet they did not

  3.  @Ocelot835  No way, it was a few weeks in before they started to press Kiev and the west hard.

  4.  @Ocelot835  lmao do you really believe that? Putin knows they are supported by NATO, knows about its military positions. Please, and I'm being serious, if you believe this you are nor qualified to be debating a subject likely to end in WWIII we do not need ignorance a the table

  6.  @ImAliveAndYouAreDead  Thats bullshit, they were there for the people in the east of Ukraine that didnt vote for a coup in Kiev. Angela Merkel has a better perspective on this. They were agreed too by NATO as a stalling tactic so the rest of Ukraine could build up their military to face Russia. So they wanted a war, didnt care about separatists...because unlike in northern Syria, these separatists oppose a western friendly government.

  7.  @ChucksSEADnDEAD  The "separatists" did not vote for a western sponsored coup in Kiev

  9. So if they know Putins every move, that means they allowed him to invade Ukraine and this was all a setup at the expense of the people of Ukraine and taxpayers around the world. Nice, now we have verification from ex world leaders and intel.

  10. It's all propaganda from both sides. Like how Russia "invaded" Crimea when they were already in Crimea, they just didn't leave when asked. Like how a revolution of unelected people had more valid authority than the semi autonomous and elected parliament of Crimea. Like how Syrian separatists are freedom fighters and USA involvement is okay but Ukraine separatists are terrorists and Russia being involved is not okay. Or the premise that USA would have left Ukraine if asked...or anywhere else for that matter, ask the Okinawans.

  14. What insurrection? Has anyone even been charged with "insurrection"? As a Canadian and mostly centrist, I am baffled by all of it. There were no demands, hostages....nothing...only people you may disagree with politically.

  21. This assumes that the Gov only takes what it needs and spends efficiently. It also doesn't take into account any cuts Trump is making in Gov spending. Income tax was imposed for the new deal and to help pay for WWII.... It might not work but something needs to be done.

  25. This is stupid. Bluff or not there is a point in which it wont be. Russia could commit nuclear suicide and the world would still be screwed via the fallout. Moron.

  26. lol Russia can't kick crappy little Ukraine's butt after 2 years of fighting, how the hell are they going to invade Europe with NATO and other combined forces? They aren't, this vid was brought to you by Peters sponsors in the MIC.

  27.  @StPiter111  Ukraine has taken 50000 casualties and Russia 27000, all for about 100 KM of land. Meanwhile NATO has over 3 million soldiers

  28.  @StPiter111  EU has had 80 years to solidify the rest, there is no way to invade Europe, not that I believe they intend to do so.

  29. They didn't do it alone and they also did not hold them in check, the Russians established the position they initially said they would and held it.

  30.  @Vision-ey6fi  Holding that area is an overreach and does nothing for them and Russia is doing fine. THey are holding the position they initially went in to stabilize,
