  1. He is diverting attention from all the campaign promises he made that he can't keep.

  2. Doesn't matter to Putin if the Russian people suffer economic hardship. Putin and the silovoki will never suffer. They will pursue their wars of conquest even if people are starving - look at their history. This is what they do.

  3. We should help the Kurds.
    476
  4. The US should do everything they can without putting American soldiers at risk. Intelligence help is a cost-effective way to support Ukraine.

  5. She was stating the obvious. It's common knowledge.
    387
  6. I have more empathy for Russians who despise their own country. I've never felt this much disgust towards the US. Threatening a friendly NATO ally? Appalling
    349
  7. Why subsidize a country that doesn't support the EU consensus? If they want to join Putin, there will be consequences.

  8. Gaurantee of safety says Lavrov - how can Ukraine trust any Putin promise. It would be foolish for Ukraine to agree to demilitarization.
    131
  9. Its been obvious for months that Hungary is playing for the other side.
    124
  10. The situation in Moscow and St. Petersburg is very different from the rest of Russia living in abject poverty
    123
  11. The most capable people have left Venezuela. Maybe the bots in the comment section should go live in Venezuela.
    109
  12. One can only hope 🙏
    88
  13. I suggested Ukraine make Crimea a priority, and the comment was immediately deleted.
    84
  14. Just to be clear, if Ukraine gives up it's military it's all over and is effectively the same as surrender. Russia will have no incentive to keep any agreements it makes.

  15. Modern day slavery. Call it what it is.
    77
  16. The foreign minister handled that very well despite aggressive challenges from the interviewer. He seems like the kind of calm rational thinker Moldova needs right now.

  17. If they want an authoritarian leader it's their choice. Don't know why they would want that, but Hungary and Turkey chose to go that way. Maybe some cultures just like to be ruled that way.

  18. Nick is a great war correspondent. Good piece.

  19. They didn't really answer the question: Who is funding the rebels? (Excluding absurd conspiracy theories)
    46
  20. I rarely agree with the crazy orange man, but he's not wrong this time
    38
  21. The English speaking countries are natural allies. This development seems like what you would expect between allies.
    37
  22. Its about time. At least we're moving in the right direction. It will take years to completely de-risk.
    37
  23. I never miss a Perun video. Most reliable analysis I'm aware of.
    34
  24. His trolls must be totally confused. They don't know what narrative to push 😂
    32
  25. Seems like a lot of countries are facing political gridlock these days. Even so, it is better to have gridlock than autocracy.
    31
  26. At least a partial solution. Everything than can be done should be done.
    31
  27. Maybe it's time to think about a no fly zone again. Either that a lot better protection against long range missles.
    29
  28. It took a long time but thankfully Ukraine is finally pushing back. They can win, that is clear now. Patience 🙂
    28
  29. The Turks still haven't taken responsibility for the genocide of Armenians 🤔
    28
  30. Dark days ahead. Freedom and Democracy used to be the greatest values. It feels like they are slipping away...
    28
  31. I like the way this reporter does interviews. He asks tough questions without being annoying.
    25
  32. De-risk, not decouple. Dont become dependent on China for critical resources and products.
    23
  33. RIP Azov battalion. Putin is going to have them killed or imprisoned in some remote prison in Russia. Very skeptical about a prisoner exchange.
    23
  34. Just a taste of what will happen if China continues their aggression in the South China Sea. Even a partial decoupling will hurt their economy.
    22
  35. This would be the perfect time for the people of Belarus to rise up.
    22
  36. He has a unique point of view. The West should listen to what he has to say.
    21
  37. This is important. I hope people are paying attention.
    20
  38. @jrkr7357  Yes, but he can pretend that it was more than that and blame his losses on the Wagner group.
    19
  39. No doubt celebrated in Gaza and the West Bank

  40. Always feel bad for the Kurds. Their neighbors on all sides keep attacking them. They seem like decent people, I've met a few over the years. Don't know why their neighbors won't just leave them alone.

  41. Thank you for pointing that out. Druze hold high ranks in the IDF and are represented in government. They are integrated into israeli society

  42. Way too soon to make a prediction. Ukraine is training more troops and getting more weapons every day. Russia was already at maximum strength, only a full mobilization will increase their strength. As long as Ukraine continues to get support from the free world time is their side. There is a good chance they will drive Putin's army all the way out of Ukraine, back to pre-war boundaries at a minimum.

  43. Something unexpected is going to happen. I don't think anyone has a clue.
    16
  44. Life goes on. This is what the fight is for in the first place. I'm glad they have something positive like this in their lives
    16
  45. I wonder what the Europeans think about this. Are they as concerned about it as most of us in the US?
    15
  46. I wonder if the basis of German support for Ukraine is the same as others in the free world. For me, as an American, its about a free nation that doesn't want to fall under the tyranny or Russia. A tiny fraction of our budget is all Ukraine needs. We don't even need to put our troops at risk.

  47. Military Keynesianism. It works until public services and infrastructure start to fall apart.
    15
  48. The Alawites aren't going to give up power without a fight. Assad has a fierce core group of support that have been privileged for a very long time.
    14
  49. The Chinese borg are moving into the south China sea. Resistance is futile. All will be assimilated.
    14
  50. Would the US give up territory if it was attacked? No, and neither should Ukraine.
