  1. In NYC - Mike Cohen know all about trump business with russia. His information could be very useful - if properly motivated.

  2. You gotta ask yourself about the wisdom of a guy would rather troll and spam the world - rather than bring prosperity to the country he is supposed to be running. Putin reminds me of the show Pinky and the Brain. What are we going to do tonight Brain - same as every night Pinky - Try to take over the world. And that is what putin reminds me of -

  3. It is not IF, it is WHEN.

  4. PUBLIC OPINION: Who’s best for Ukraine? Trump or Harris? - It is the same asking who is better for Ukraine - Harris or putin. Not difference.

  5. Only a Just and Lasting Peace. No appeasement.

  6. I say the problem is not russia the problem is putin. you say the problem is russia. I say get rid of putin (permanently) and let's see if that was the problem or not.

  7. post putin russia is the correct conversation. Every day. I give him about 25 more days in power. putin needs to go before Jan 20, 2025 - whether don trump finds a way to take power in the USA or not - and I am thinking - not.

  8. trump been working for putin for decades. Remember the birther lie? The only mystery to me is how trump is still alive. Same for putin. It is a mystery to me putin is still alive. I mean seriously.

  9. Neither Montgomery nor Eisenhower were shocked or appalled. The story met their expectation.

  10. NATO will decide the outcome of the war either through action or inaction. russia has no say in the outcome.

  11. if only china had known russia is so impotent.

  12. it is not a matter of winning or losing. The idea has no meaning. You defend Ukrainian independence and democracy or you don't. Winning or losing does not enter in to it. For Europe the benefits are astronomical. The key point to know is - Feb 1, 2022 all of Europe, The USA, Joe Biden the Pentagon all expected russia to own Ukraine in short order. They - ALL or the "EXPERTS" were -WRONG. Every week Ukraine proved all russia experts and all "Western" experts - WRONG. The lesson - the salient point - the new wisdom to take home is UKRAINE is One of the Largest Countries in Europe. And Ukraine is one of the Most Powerful Countries in Europe. Ukraine is a Player in Europe. Today everyone knows putin is a fool. putin rejected democracy for russia for 24 years. putin rejected economic and social cooperation with Europe and it cost russia trillions of dollars. Not billions of dollars. trillions of dollars. and now potion war for no reason - with russia elites previously all living the European lifestyle of the rich and famous all across Europe - it cost russia over half a million lives and a million people - the future of russia - already fled to Europe. You could not construct a more disaster scenario for russia if you tried. russia in the putin era is the definition of a failure state.

  13. Why does this guy remind me that corruption in Ukraine is an artifact of Soviet Culture and a Russian Import.

  14. with the invasion of russia by Ukraine Luchashenko is looking for an exit - with no where to go. Lucha is in a bad place right now. Orban too. Darks days for Lucia and Orban

  15. That is conventional. Going Geurrilla - the possibilities are - endless. And Guerrilla is the untapped fertile ground available to Ukraine in Putin's war on Europe in Ukraine.

  16. The question is - irrelevant. The only question is - What will Harris mean for Ukraine. And She already state publicly - she is all in on Ukraine. I have a better chance to be POTUS next year than don trump. Seriously. Why? Jul 27, 2016 trump said - "Russia if you're listening...I need...you will be rewarded." Obama knew putin was listening trump got the emails the day Obama handed trump the key in a "Peaceful transfer of power" I called it a coup. Obama didn;t know the reward. Now we do. Lavrov in the US Oval Office, Helsinki and trump running the putin foreign policy on Ukraine out of the US Oval Office that got trump impeached the first time. In 2025 there is no mystery. trump already promised dictatorship and already told putin to do whatever the hell he wants in Europe. That is pretty clear. It is clear that in 2025 hand the key to trump again does not represent "Peaceful Transition of Power'. It didn;t even mean that in 2017. Handing trump the key in 2025 is flushing US democracy down the toilet and green lighting putin to use the nuclear extortion protection racket to topple EU democracies once by one. So putin can "Take Ownership" of those countries. trump is the fulcrum. The Lynch pin. The pivot point. The catalyst. That makes it all possible. But it is worse. trump will gift US military tech to putin. if Europe resist putin trump will back putin against Europe. What trump putin and Leanrd Leo are trying to do is the Second Coup on the USA - using the same guy - trump. It is a stupid plan - but apparently the only one they got. I would not be surprised for putin to threaten nuclear war unless the USA install trump. It is literally life and death for putin. July 1, 2025 The SCOTUS Supreme Court of the USA granted trump Absolute Legal Immunity for Official Acts while in office. Only one problem - Joe Biden is POTUS - not don trump. That means Joe Biden HAs that immunity - Today. That is an inconvenient problem trump Lenard Leo and putin are trying to solve right now. But it means all Biden needs rto do is Make an Official Statement that trump is a russia foreign agent and traitor and to honor his Sworn Oath to Defend and Protect the US Constitution. And the rest is history. It is not a problem. The USA bumps off ISIS people globally routinely. trump is no different - I mean other than being a far more insidious and dangerous threat. not trump himself - alliance with putin is the problem. And there. are a lot of other American worked for the trump putin cause - who should be concerned. Mike Flynn. Paul Manafort. Jill Stien. Tusli Gabbard. Roger Stone. Rudi Giuliani. All the Fake Electors. John Eastman. Ken Chesboro. Pillow Guy. Tina Peters. Mike Roman. It is a very long list of people. All working in concert to destroy US Democracy.

  19. All roads led to Moscow - no. All roads lead to ptns desk. That seems like an easier problem to solve. One person in a world of 8 billion? Come on. add trump to the equation and you are talking about 2 people out of 8 billion. Again. Come on.

  20. trump is a convicted fraud. We know where the election fraud in 2016 was - it was trump.

  21. NATO Will decide the outcome of the war either through action or inaction. russia will have no say in it. so far NATO including Joe Biden are MIA in Ukraine. Missing In Action. AWOL. Away Without Leave.

  22. What to know about Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. Bold. Visionary. Until last week the putin doctrine of the war was - I can strike you but you cannot strike me. I think it is Sober Reasoning the Urkaine decided on a New Doctrine - If you can strike me - then I guarantee you I will strike you. It is an absolute certainty. It means - Ukraine has abandoned belief in russia propaganda stating the russia is all powerful. The Mystique - The Lie - Is Destroyed - and will never be restored. Finally Ukraine decide to beleive their own eyes - When Ukraine does the write thing for Ukraine - Ukraine benefits. Not sure how Ukraine got NATO buy-in - but it is about 2 year late. It is Past Time for NATO to Join Ukraine in Defense of Europe. Not Ukraine Joint NATO. The other way around - because it is alway Ukraine stepping into the breach while NATO bureaucrats watch - looking on - handwringing Impotent. If there is a Military man or Woman in NATO - past time for NATO to step up and Join Ukraine. Key is - heart directly on putin - personally. putin is afraid. putin needs to be more afraid. Much more afraid.

  23. on paper - russia was a big powerful country - and then they got the Soviets. The Soviets fell after gutting the country for 60 years, then they got putin who has gutted the country for another 25 years. so it turns out - russia was a big ;powerful country - ONLY on paper. Too bad russia got screwed for 60 years with the Soviets and to bad put makes the Soviet its look like school children their level of corruption. too bad. Waste of a country. Now russia competes with North Korea - for the worst. And russia is winning the race to the bottom.

  24. If you are a russian soldier in Ukraine - how do you increase your life expectancy? Desert. It is that simple. Life expectancy for russians used to exhaust Ukraine ammunition store - their life expectancy is a few hours. It is nothing new. It is right out of Tolstoy Anna Karenina . It is the same as when russia went to war with the turks in Crimea. Right out of Tolstoy.
    2
  25. If Ukraine does it right putin will not have another good night sleep the rest of his life, what ever is left of it. The commentator is fool. Ukraine invaded nuclear armed Russia. Aug 1, 2024 he would told you that it is impossible. Now it is historical fact. And he accepts it out of hand. These talking heads are just about worthless. Ukraine has always taken the lead in this war and Ukraine boldness forces NATO and Europe and the USA and the talking head “experts” to constantly play catchup. Ukraine needs to keep doing what Ukraine is doing. Ukraine is in the Russian rear now in Kursk. Keep hitting Russia in the rear. Relentlessly, unending, resolute, decisive, focused. Determined.

  26. Lev Parnas knows all about trump and russia ties. Parnas and Furman got picked up in Dulles Airport with a ticket to Vienna going to see Dmytro Firtash. So Parnas acting like an altar boy - isn't. Parnas knows plenty and says nothing. """Firtash, 58, rose to wealth and influence in Ukraine but has been indicted in the United States on bribery and racketeering charges. Firtash is linked to former President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who sought dirt in Ukraine on President Joe Biden's son, Hunter - with Parnas and Furman as the handlers. The United States indicted Firtash, who is believed to have strong ties to the Kremlin, in March 2014, shortly after Russia seized Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. U.S. prosecutors accuse the Ukrainian businessmen of paying bribes to officials in India for licenses to mine titanium, which they planned to sell to U.S. aerospace giant Boeing. According to the SBU, the damage Ukraine's State Treasury suffered from the embezzlement activities allegedly committed by Firtash’s group in Ukraine's gas transit system are estimated at up to 18 billion hryvnyas ($484 million) between 2016 and 2022 as part of a "large-scale scheme." "Effectively we are talking about the embezzlement of money from ordinary Ukrainians who paid their utility bills," the statement said. Firtash, once an ally of ousted Russia-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych, resides in Austria. He is wanted in the United States for bribery and racketeering charges in India. The United States has asked Austrian authorities to extradite him. He has denied wrongdoing and has fought extradition. Ukraine imposed sanctions on Firtash in June 2022, accusing him of selling titanium products that Kyiv said ended up being used by Russian military enterprises. Firtash at the time denied the allegations. The sanctions against Firtash and his Group DF include an asset freeze, ban on capital withdrawal, revocation of licenses, restriction of resource transit, and other restrictions. Firtash denies the charges and calls them politically motivated. He is currently seeking a new trial after Austria's Supreme Court upheld his extradition in 2019. Yuriy Vitrenko, the CEO of the state-owned natural gas company Naftogaz, told RFE/RL earlier this month that he suspected Firtash might be shifting his profits from Ukraine's gas industry to affiliated companies in Western Europe through a scheme known as transfer pricing. He also expressed concern that Firtash was selling gas he bought at below-market prices from Naftogaz to industrial users in violation of an agreement.""" Apparently Vienna is criminal safe haven inside of the EU - if you have a lot of money. This is a way the EU subsidizes russia aggression - from within Europe. And We all know this is just one of countless similar examples. And that is a problem.

  27. General Zaluzhny seems too pessimistic to the point where I think he may not be the right man for the job. First, putin and dugin thought Ukraine would fold like a house of cards with just the idea of Russia military in the field. It is impossible to say in English how dumb that idea was. Those two will go down in Russia history as two of the dumbest of all time. If it is stalemate - then that in and of itself is a Victory for Ukraine fighting against the "second largest military on Planet Earth". Two years ago Global Experts would say - that it was Impossible. Global Experts were All Wrong. Three, success and failure is measured by territory on a map. Not people KIA or BMPs blown up. It is territory - because even if I know nothing I can look at a map. Ukraine is unconstrained in how it innovates to prosecute the war. Much fertile ground has gone unexplored. If Russia sends waves of people into direct line of fire to exhaust Ukraine - eliminate the threat - expeditiously. Rail lines from Ukraine to Russia are intact.  Ukraine can and should liberate ground occupied in 2014. The Kerch Bridge still stands. Drop it. Patton says fixed fortification are useless - just go around behind them. Bypass pockets of resistance. It may mean needing to enter Russia to come at Russia lines from the rear. For Ukraine in their existential fight - bowing to EU bureaucrats may not alway be the answer. NATO has no practical choice other than to support Ukraine. No choice.

  28. The dirty little secret is if putin pisses of enough people - his "war with the West" will collapse with lightning speed. putin is too weak for any face to face confront nation. putin is too weka to prevail in ukraine decisively. Putin's only asset in his was with "The West" is - people just want to go live life and have fun and enjoy life. In out affluent societies - people all have better things to do with their time. Putin does not want to destroy the west. putin can destroy "the west" in 10 minutes with a nuclear barrage. Putin want to own the west. Putin's got penis envy. Real real bad. cause everywhere he looks - every one has a bigger one and everyone is having a better time - without him. putin wants to own "the west" so putin lacking power has exactly one play - the slow creeping malignant cancer play - that he must always maintain just below the thereshold where he pisses Euroe off enough - to actually go to war with him. c so putin is constantly tip toeing along that threshold line - always moving delicately - so not to trip the trip wire - that people are motivated enough to stop having fun for ten minutes - and they turn around and do epic beat down on russia. for putin trump getting into office is literally life or death - so for the next 60 days putin will sit back and sit tight - and do nothing to antagonize the USA or Europe. So the USA and Europe can basically do anything they want to putin over the next 60 days and he will;l simply just sit there and take it. He has no choice - because he cannot risk Forking up Turmp taking power. Which is why don trump has a zero percent chance to take power in the USA. None. trump will either suffer a tragic accident or be targeted. Targeted - the USA will blame putin for his death. Which is win win - because trump is gone and the threat he represents partnered with putin is gone and you blame put information it - giving the USA Carter blanc to go after putin to "Make him Pay" for the death of a US President. It really is - perfect.

  29. Polish perspective on Poland Ukraine Relations. Well, let's suppose Ukraine falls. Consider Ukraine falls. How does Michal see Poland Russia relations if Ukraine falls? Given the alternatives - it seems like there is no difference of opinion that cannot be resolved. Seems like the Common Shared interest is Orders of Magnitude Higher than any perceived differences. I mean, unless Poland wants putin on the east border. Then ask Michal about his opinion of Poland russia relations.

  30.  @Lasse65  Today - putin unilaterally leaving Ukraine is By Far - the Best Option he Has. No other option he has comes close. A Smart Putin would'a kept russia a democracy post Yeltsin and aligned russia economically and socially with Europe and then retired. rputin is not a smart man. One problem - putin listened to Al Dugin. Al Dugin is one of the most destructive people in the history of russia,.

  31. russia under putin is a degenerate state. putin represent the failure state for humanity. through systematic degenerate behavior - the doing the protection racket on humanity with nuclear weapons - putin holds the entire human race back. In human history from now on - we will always hold the ability to destroy ourselves. it is only through medieval thinking that it is a problem, . Mental models rooted in an obsolete past. It is past time for humanity to rid itself of these failure mode ideas and move on. We as a species Face a Rite of Passage - and putin IS the failure mode. putin is the degenerate case. putin is the problem holding the entire human race back. Past time to move on - without putin. with putin in the rear view mirror. Permanently. russia can never fulfill its potential on planet earth as long as putin is around.

  32. putin pissed away the lives of hundreds of thousands of russians in putin's War for No Reason. - all for Al Dugin's and putin's egos. Dugong bit the dust. Waiting for Dugin to do the same.

  33. $8 B in USA Military Aid - by Noon Jan 20, 2025. No point waiting until the last moment. Do a pull ahead. And Heck fire Joe Biden does have Absolute Presidential Immunity for ALL Official Acts. My God in Heaven If I were Joe Biden - the version with an ounce of Imagination - I could do much in the nest 114 days. I could do - Much.

  34. Russia Modus Operandi - the Protection Racket. It works as long as NATO thew EU and Ukraine - buy it. It fails when NATO the EU OR Ukraine - no longer buy it. In other words - Ukraine fight according to parameters that are good for Ukraine - Not for Russia. Like Attack Russia lines in Luhansk by going through the Russian Belograd - where the field are not mined.

  35. OK Guiliani went to Ukraine to work with Russians. Because it is too obvious to go to Moscow directly. Like with FBI Counter Intelligence McGonigal getting paid off through Albania instead of through Moscow Red Square - because that would be too obvious. But this video is just the intro. We need followup. Giulliani went to Ukraine - very publicly, overtly, brazenly, to subvert US democracy. Who did he deal with? What happened to the people Giulliani contacted in Ukraine? Another one. AFLA Bank Trump Tower Spectrum Healthcare Datalink. Putin got caught. And the Spectrum Healthcare part matters. Rich DeVos in the swing state of Michigan in 2016. What did putin want with Rich DeVos in Michigan in 2016? Getting caught is a humiliation putin could not tolerate. Putin sued in the US to attack the "researchers" who exposed the link. That suit failed. Humiliated Putin got trump to get Barr to get Special Counsel Durham to discredit it. After 3 years effort - That failed. What happened on the Ukraine Side? ALFA Bank - what happened? To the bank, to the people? Exposing the links between trump and putin are critical in 2023 and 2024. Clearly Parnas knows far more than he mentions here. Parnas was flying to Vienna to see Firtash when he was picked up. Right ? Dertach. Firtash. Parnas and Furman. That's a lot of Russians. Too much fertile ground here - unexplored and unexposed. Expose it please. Shine light on the trump putin links. Relentlessly.

  36.  @marisabenson1222  Then interview Maria for Kiev Post and let her say it to them.

  37. If Ukraine want to win the war - they have until Jan 20, 2025.

  38. Ukraine will decide the future of Ukraine. Not trump, not putin. trump is a known threat - there is no scenario on planet earth where trump returns to power in the USA. It does not exist on planet Earth. Zero percent chance.

  39. Russia is a degenerate society. The failure case. The dystopian dream. The institutionalization of broken society. The defining characteristic is organized institutionalized corruption. The soviet can certainly lives on. I wonder, If Germany had to do it all over again - would they still dig Lenin out of the bar in Switzerland and send him back to russia. My guess is - No. And if they hadn't;t, would russia still descended int the hellhole of communism - that malignancy lives on personified in the dictator putin. I wonder if in Germany - they ever second guess the cancer of communism that they unleashed on russia through Lenin that came back to haunt Germany for 45 years until the wall fell in 1989 liberating East Germany from the cancer of Sovietism.

  40. This is a model for Ukraine insurgency and guerrilla warfare. Maybe it is possible for Ukraine to run ops going after russia soft targets in the occupied Ukraine - at the russia rear. Like maybe russia intelligence operations. like russia logistics. Like russia logistics.

  41. PUBLIC OPINION:Should the West Supply Ukraine With More Weapons to End the War Amid Stalemate Talks? First, What stalemate? I do not see it. Another way to ask the question is to ask - should Europe allow Ukraine to fall back behind the Iron Curtain. If you think that is a good idea - like maybe putin thinks that is a good idea, then yeah sure, stop bIn other words - the Modern Iron Curtain in Europe - Is at the Russia border. East of the Russia border will remain 3rd world - akin to North Korea. West of the Russia Border, the Free Side of the Line - will prosper with civil liberty personal freedom and the rule of law in democratic societies. The other way to view the problem is - Russia is free to occupy Ukraine - as long as they have the stamina ,the will, the fortitude and manhood to do so. Personally I think Russia has no practical chance to sustain the occupation. Inherently corrupt and deprived. It is not possible. Russia have no chance to sustain the effort in the face of determined focused sustained opposition.

  42. putin fights to win. sure in conniving deceitful ways - always - but to win nonetheless. When will Ukraine decide - Ukraine is the dominant force in this war - and decide to fight - to win. Erasing self doubt - Ukraine removes the only obstacle to Ukraine victory.
    1
  43. Well, let's see. putin tells trump what to do. So putin will tell trump - end support for Ukraine. With US support gone, Europe will end support for Ukraine. If Ukraine cannot figure out how to defeat putin - on your own, Ukraine will fall to putin. I expect Ukraine to fall to putin. Zelesky will be arrested, tried for war crimes and executed - probably publicly or at least in a video. Ukraine will fall under the Iron Curtain. Again. Nuclear armed putin and turmp will run the protection racket on the world demanding payment for protection - from putin and trump - which means putin. Because trump is the front man and only does what putin tells him. Within a 2 months of trump taking office - Ukraine will be part of russia and the people who fought to support the war effort will be executed en masse. Because the protection racket works better the more afraid the people are. And putin will execute people to put fear into the hearts of all Europeans. It means together option will have taken over the world by installing a puppet into the office POTUS - Again. And the only thing that'll free the world of putin is the day putin dies. And with out species - that check and balance is - non-negotiable. Hope for Ukraine. The Lightning Bolt Strike. At Command and Control. Putin personally. Trump - personally - because the whole scam hinges on trump. Sound about right?

  44. Russia massed military in Belarus the shortest distance from the Ukraine border to Kiev. Look at the deep state map. The liberated green areas all around Kiev. Ursa tried for Kiev - and failed. Spectacularly.

  45. You saw the movie The Manchurian Candidate. The enemy uses mind control to get an assassin to target the candidate? Put got a new v version. putin got mind control on don turmp and the control is - absolute. It is like the Manchurian Candidate - only this time -0 the Candidate IS the Weapon to Target American Democracy and by Democracy Globally. Other Modern Example of Mind Control? Dec 19, 2016 A Body Guard Assassinates the Russia Ambassador to Turkey - In Public. 1 PM - Jan 6, 2017 Fort Lauderdale Airport a lone gunman emotionless methodically walks through baggage claim shot people dead. Taken alive he complained of mind control. It was the exact moment the US Congress met to authorize the vote that installed don trump in office of POTUS. Coincidence ? I don;t think so putin definitely did something to gain absolute control over do trump. And I mean Absolute control. trump witnessed something that cemented into his tiny brain 100% compliance. Think putin could manifest a demonstration for trump that would result in 100% absolute compliance? I do. Absolutely. piuitn made trump into a weapon putin aimed at American Democracy to destroy America Democracy. And It Worked. Putin Won. How? Jan 20 2017 trump is sworn into office. Pulling from a list made by Lenard Leo trump installs 3 new SCOTUS justice. POTUS was alway a powerful office. But Jul 1, 2024 - the putin turmp Leo SCOTUS grants to trump Absolute Immunity. It destroy the 3 Co-equal Branches. Now POTUS is above the law and no longer bound by either SCOTUS or Congress. The Founders carefully crafted system of checks and balance - is destroyed. Gone. Jul 1, 2024 putin succeeded in destroying the Us Constitution - through don turmp. in the USA we now live in the Post Constitution Era. It already happened. It doe not need to wait for trump to get back into office. It is already done. At the same time SCOTUS gifted to Joe Biden - Dictatorial Absolute Power. Joe Biden is right now - the First King Emperor Dictator of the USA as is his pleasure. So don trump absolutely will never have power in the USA again. Because that would mean Biden will willingly pass dictatorial power form Biden to trump. Obama did that in 2017. No need to run that experiment again . We already know how it turns out. March 23, 1933 The Reichstag pass the Enabling Act making Hilter dictator of Germany. Nazi physically block opposition members from entering the4 hall to cast a vote. That date in the USA was Jul 1, 2024. It instantly made Biden Dictator of the USA. It is Historical Fact. Biden has no choice but to pick up the dictator baton. And keep it or pass it to whoever he wants. Harris. Susan Rice. Hunter Biden . Anyone.

  46. I forgot - refresh my memory - why did putin think it would be a good idea to invade Ukraine?
    1
  47. Belarus will follow all other iron curtain dictatorships into democracy in social and economic partnership with Europe - as part of Europe. It is inevitable. putin's days are numbered.

  48. If Ukraine Zelensky walks away undamaged - then you know Zelensky was already in on the agreement for how to end the war. And it was all pre-arranged and they been waking these events - for appearances. Because too radical reversal - is a tell the junta already worked it all out in advance. And I am beginning to smell like it was all already worked out. And the agreement iOS to make trump look go solving everything - and Biden just said - Yeah. Ok. Sure. If Zelenskli is executed or dies - it means Biden sold Ukraine the USA and the Free world Out.

  49. In 1990 the Gulf War - televised real time by CNN reports in hotels in Bagdad - the USA went after Command and Control sites. It is an idea as old as time. Not sure why Ukraine does todo more of it.
    1
  50. this is simply propoganda. trump is on putin's side. putin is on trump's side. the trump position and the putin position are one and the same. trump will abandon Ukraine to putin and if Ukraine puts up a effective resistance - then trump will enter the war - on the side of russia. Either way - trump entering office guarantees putin takes over ukraine. And Obviously putin backed by trump will not stop at Urkaine.
