  1. This may be the last time Trump did anything as part of the G7.

  2. They were pretty open to the uprising by Prigozhin.

  3. I still find it hard to believe that the US citizens gave the orange 💩 to the world. God will teach them humility.

  4. The comparison with Churchill is very appropriate. Zelensky is in the same class of leader as him.

  5. "Be prepared to some some more" I love it when a sweet lady gives a stern warning. Russia, ignore it at your peril!

  6. ​ @dioghaltasfoirneartach7258  don't insult us, boy. Article 5 of NATO was invited only once, and it was by the USA. Many nations answered and paid in blood to protect the USA. Including Ukraine, which wasn't even part of NATO.

  7. I have visited Ukraine in 2003, had a great time. I had some servings of Borscht in a youth camp, that didn't taste like much. But I had some from a good cook, and that was wonderful. I did notice the taste of smoke in it, thanks for explaining how it got there.

  8. No doubt, the most important thing that happened this week was what happened to the Russian Refineries. A close second was the promotion of two new Russian ships to submarines.

  10. I understand the sentiment, but "never" is a very long time. It is not wise to never forgive. Hate will undermine a nation and destroy its joy and creativity. When there has been regime change in Russia, and its federation has collapsed, there will come a time when it will be important to forgive, let go of hate and move on with life.

  11. Surely the world is ready for female Presidents. The UK, for example, has had two female Prime Ministers, the first of which was greatly respected world wide (Thatcher). Other countries with female Prime Ministers include: India (Indira Ghandi) and Israel (Golda Meir). And several countries have had ruling Queens, include the UK and the Netherlands (my country). One of the greatest monarchs of the UK ever was a Queen: Elizabeth the First.

  12. Happy Easter, Anna! Enjoy your culture, which the maniacs tried to take away, but which will endure longer than the maniacs.

  13. I love your bravery. And I believe you are right not to be afraid. God will help you. As the Bible says, "The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed" -- Ps 103.6. The USA, however, has much more reason to be afraid, because Tramp has committed many serious sins in his treatment of Zelensky and the Ukrainian People. I believe God has taken his Blessing from the USA, in order to teach them the value of the Rule of Law, and of the greatest law of all: Do to others as you would have them do to you. The USA has in 2016 elected Selfishness and Greed, and now in 2024 added Lawlessness to that list. It will fall, and fall hard.

  14. Before democracy can take root, first the Rule of Law must take root. The institutions that uphold the Law (police + courts) must come before elections can be democratic. The Basic Human Rights are a good starting point for a new set of laws for Russia, you don't need democracy for that.

  15. It is not uncommon for top generals to be replaced during a war. Happened all the time in WW2. Nor is it a sign of anyone's failure. As the war is now shifting into a new phase, it is a good time to replace someone.

  16. The name "Russian" was stolen by the rulers of Moskovy. Rus has always been Ukraine. So when Putin says "Ukraine is Russia" he is quite right. But he is wrong in saying or thinking that he is the leader of "Russia".
    2
  17. Putin is going to find out how a man will fight to protect his woman. He'd better stay locked up in his bunker from now on, because even his beloved train will not protect him. And being Putin's body double has suddenly become the most dangerous job on earth. And those who pressure Ukraine to make a new treaty with Russia are literally mad. Putin has already violated 20-odd treaties he signed with Ukraine. To try again hoping this time peace will result is the definition of madness, according to Einstein.

  18. The age of conscription has always been 18 in my country (NL). But they haven't been called up for service since the late 80ies. The government has warned that this may change soon.

  19. Obviously, this is a day of rejoicing. But for me, it is bitter-sweet. The 7 months without aid have cost Ukraine lives, land and initiative, and great damage to their infrastructure. I pray the USA will deal harshly with those who caused this delay. They should be voted out of office and kept from ever holding elected office again.

  20.  @user-rk6me1ek5t  It is filled with the idea that one people can be better than another. That is an evil idea. Specific people (leaders) can at specific times make better choices than others, but the good choices from the past do not make a people superior to another right now. Every generation has its own difficult choices to make, and history is watching how it makes them.

  21. You are right that ALL nations can learn many, many things from how Ukraine is acting in this war. Because this is the biggest war since WW2, fought with the most modern weapons. This is new ground, even for the USA who hasn't fought a war with a near-peer since Korea, and that was a lot smaller in scale. The weapons the USA gave you were the result of that war, and while valuable, these will not prove decisive.

  22. I was hoping for Shoigu to grow a pair and take over from Putin. Wouldn't have been difficult for him.

  23. "Putin in Den Haag and Ukraine in Brussels" That is a great vision of the future! Though I think Putin won't reach Den Haag, but end up in a shallow grave or a river somewhere in Russia.

  24. Congratulations, Anna! Orban will not prevent Ukraine from joining the EU. Russia can't give him enough to replace the EU, and he can't continue trying to play both sides.

  25. We all made many mistakes in dealing with Russia. Nordstream was a huge one, in hindsight. But it all doesn't matter, the biggest mistake was made by Putin in invading Ukraine. It will destroy the Russian Federation. Ukraine is fighting the war very well, many more Russians are "being retired" than Ukrainians. But every Ukrainian is one too many.

  26. You can do some things, like boycott American stuff. I know that yesterday my kids wanted to go to Macdonald's, but I refused and we went to get pizza instead. It is a small thing, but it is something I could do.

  27. Yes, we Dutch eat beetroot. It is a quite popular vegetable. We cut it in small bits, boil it and eat it with potatoes and roasted sausage or some other tasteful side of meat. We also make salads with it, with potatoes, raw onion (not too much), mayonnaise, a bit of vinegar, perhaps some pieces of hard-boiled egg, etc.

  28. When inside the USSR, Ukraine provided the brains, Russia the brawn. And even in WW2, some 40% of the "Red Army" were Ukrainian. Putin wants us to ignore those facts...

  29.  @procrusteus  Besides being great fighters, those Cossacks also installed an early form of Democracy... They have experienced the Russian Boot first hand, and will NOT submit to it ever again.

  30. The worst for Putin is, I think, that Democracies turned out to be less weak and decadent than Putin thought. Putin should have studied history a bit more. EVERY democracy has to fight for its freedom periodically, and EVERY democracy has done so. There are many examples of dictatorships that permanently turned into a democracy, but I know NO examples where democracy & the Rule of Law had taken root that permanently that turned into dictatorships. The only country I know that is in danger of this is Turkey (which has been a democracy since 1922), and that would be a first. E.g. in Hungary, a grass-roots movement against would-be dictator Orbàn is gaining momentum, and Hungary has never even been a strong democracy before. I hope Putin is paying attention, and will now realize that this war is futile. The longer he goes on, the surer his own destruction.

  31. With all respect, fighting on X is a waste of time and effort. X is controlled by a pro-Putin would-be dictator (Musk). He will prevent anyone who isn't already strongly pro-Ukraine from seeing your posts (this is called shadow banning). Except the trolls who are paid to keep you engaged and thus waste your time. Most of them are AI, some are FSB agents. You will not change their minds. Your energy can be used much more productively on other platforms.

  32. If the USA falls to dictatorship (i.e., if Trump is elected), the world will have to go through a very dark time, with the three largest & most powerful militaries in the world on the wrong side of history. Still, I believe that the world is progressing towards a better place. Therefore, I strongly believe that Trump will not be elected, and that the Harris government will take a more decisive stance than Biden in fighting those who oppose Democracy -- both domestic and foreign.

  33. There will be no peace in Europe until Ukraine joins NATO. The past decade has demonstrated that. The sooner you join, the better. As far as I am concerned, there is no territorial dispute with Russia. The Donbass and Crimea belongs to Ukraine, and Putin has acknowledged that in the past. Those are the legal boundaries of Ukraine. And as that is a settled matter of international law, there are no border disputes, and Ukraine is free to join tomorrow.

  34. Ukraine didn't need aircraft carriers. It hires Russians to transport their aircraft.

  35. The nonsense that the Financial Times published is Russian disinformation. It is NOT speaking for the government of the USA.

  36. Sadly, YT censors me when I express how I feel about what Russia is doing. God bless Ukraine, YOU WILL WIN!

  37. The images I saw of the plane wreck did not show the number of bodies you would expect if it was transporting POW's. Russia is probably lying again. As usual. They probably shot that airplane themselves by accident, and now try to blame someone else for their incompetence.

  38. Rarely in history has there been a regime that was as evil as Pootin's. It is the living demonstration of how the Thief acts in John 10:10 (in the Bible).

  39. What Donald Trump is offering Ukraine is a huge scam. He wants you to pay for the modernization of American equipment, while getting only seconds-hand goods that are near their expiry date. Donald Trump will bear the consequences of his treason for the rest of eternity. But that will be of little comfort to you. The best option for Ukraine is to become (largely) self-sufficient, and use the money the EU provides towards that goal.

  40. "Give a man a fish, and he eats one meal. Give him a trawler fleet + fish processing plant and he will feed his country." Same principle with supporting Ukraine. Ukraine is a high price for winning its independence. But this is how that goes. My forebears in say 1574 wished they had more support from others. Luckily Ukraine is much more successful than they were. And like with my country, I believe Ukraine's independence will be followed by its golden age.

  41. I think it will take a LOOOOONG time to repair that tunnel. It is 19km long, and there is a complete train inside that is totally demolished by extreme temperatures. Most likely, part of the roof has collapsed further obstructing the tunnel, and the cargo has partially melted and fused with the rails. They will need to drag out all the remains of the train out of the part that is still structurally sound. Then they need to build supports for the roof that is no longer sound, as they drag stuff out of it. Then they can start making a permanent structural repair of the tunnel. Only after that is completed can they can rebuild the rail track and other installations in it. I will be amazed if they pull it off in less than a year.

  42. That Yanukovych fled to Russia is proof that he was a Russian agent whose goal was to keep Ukraine out of the EU. That he started shooting at peaceful protesters makes the Maidan Revolution completely legitimate. My country put up the standard: "[...] whereas God did not create the people slaves to their prince, to obey his commands, whether right or wrong, but rather the prince for the sake of the subjects (without which he could be no prince), to govern them according to equity, to love and support them as a father his children or a shepherd his flock, and even at the hazard of life to defend and preserve them. And when he does not behave thus, but, on the contrary, oppresses them, seeking opportunities to infringe their ancient customs and privileges, exacting from them slavish compliance, then he is no longer a prince, but a tyrant, and the subjects are to consider him in no other view. And particularly when this is done deliberately, unauthorized by the states, they may not only disallow his authority, but legally proceed to the choice of another prince for their defense." (Plakkaat van Verlatinghe, The Hague, 26-6-1581) Down With The Tyrant!

  43. "that is Russian way of business" Very true. One of my friends had started a successful restaurant in Madagascar. At one point, a Russian simply walked in with some heavy dudes and announced the restaurant was now his. Local cops refused to protect them, they had to escape the country. Which luckily was easy for her, having an EU passport. But they (she, her husband & child) lost everything.

  44.  @AnnafromUkraine  Not the Russian opposition. But she is making short work of the Putin Puppets in western countries. And she is very right. These people need to be treated like they are part of a criminal organisation.

  45. Be strong, Ukraine. Even if Trump were to stop all aid to Ukraine, God will help you defeat Russia. The other European nations will take over where Trump falls short. My advice is to ignore the current Trump - Putin "negotiations". Trump has no power over Ukraine unless you give it to him.

  46. When a powerful person like Gerasimov dies, a power struggle may ensue to fill the vacuum. As dissensions rise within Russian society, that may get interesting. But I don't think he died, Gerasimov is likely out somewhere partying.

  47.  @megwenger8756  Good on you. Now go and protest, because the orange 💩 is tearing apart the fabric of your nation: culturally, legally, politically and economically.

  48.  @MissUnderstood-f9l  That type of hate does not last forever. And even for people to whom this actually happened, it is still wise to forgive. But obviously, I will not hold it against anyone who can not find the strength to do that, I fully understand if they find that impossible.

  49. ​ @MissUnderstood-f9l  My family was deeply traumatized during WW2, but they somehow managed to let go of their hate without growing bitter.

  50. The USA will have to fight hard to regain their democracy and honour. Most likely it will come to real fighting. Because they have caused a lot of unnecessary hurry to Ukrainian people, and both karma and God will demand repayment. God can not be mocked, a man (or nation) will reap what he has sown.
