Comments by "Edward McLaughlin" (@edwardmclaughlin7935) on "Ambassador James S. Gilmore - Russia Is Losing the War in Ukraine and Cannot Benefit from Aggression" video.
Bit of a problem here within the first half minute: the Russians, we are told, are losing; and yet this is followed immediately with the exhortation to push back against Putin. If Russia is losing, then why does 'the international community' need to do any more than watch the Russians carry on losing?

Elrobbo Indeed. You do know that Coronation Street is fiction, yes?

The protection of American allies is actually not always in the American interest. Germany and wider Europe are regarded as American allies, but when Biden carried out his promise to snuff Nordstream, it was done in American interest at the expense of Europe. Consequently, the powerhouse of Europe has suffered greatly, with German companies crippled by the soaring cost of alternative energy sources from who else but....the US. Regarding the basic premise punted here, that Russia is set upon global conquest and a return to the 'Soviet Empire' - on what evidence is this based? How is it considered appropriate that NATO should rock-up to the Russian border, setting up military infrastructure that is clearly designed to be forward attack bases directed at Russia; when nothing of the sort would be tolerated anywhere near US territory? Why should Russia not have its equivalent of the Monroe Doctrine?

@GoodMan_000 As responsible, educated adults, we must realise that lies and propaganda are employed by both sides in any conflict. With this in mind we must listen to wide-ranging accounts and use our own intelligence to gauge from the general subterfuge, our own approximation of the truth. Those who seek to deceive have a more difficult task than they think. The interview with Ambassador Gilmore shows just how revealing such deceit can be.
