In an exclusive interview with Lester Holt, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underscores the “relevance” of NATO. Austin says he can’t confirm reports of Russian troops walking away from the fight, but calls reports of soldiers’ remains being left behind “disappointing” and “disgusting.”» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Defense Secretary Austin on Ukraine: Russia Still Has A Lot Of ‘Combat Power’
The whole world is at war with Russia.
POOR MAN HAVING A WET NOODLE AS HIS BOSS
Who is M$M Sec. of State for more war? Austin? This is the MIC shill who trained those Syrian “freedom fighters” “It’s a small number, and ah, ah, the ones that are in the fight we’re talkin 4-..4 or 5 in the fight” trained fighters for $500 MILLION of US tax payers money.
YEAH! HE’s Da One!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwxmjs0TKkI&ab_channel=WashingtonFreeBeacon
whole lot of nothing …..
HILLARY SOLD URANIUM TO RUSSIA MADE 150.000.000
How dare you ask if at any time during an invasion when regular people are standing up against it. “Is it time for a reality check?! How dare you. These people, my friends are fighting for their lives and country! What better a reality check for the rest of this world?!?!?!
Slava Ukraini! Praying for those in Ukraine🙏Time is short. Repent and turn to God. What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul? Mark 8:36
Jesus died so that you can have eternal life. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13. Look around at the fallen world, time is short! There is still time to be saved from the punishment for sin. Jesus said, ” I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6.
Jesus died for YOU and will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him.
Lay down weapons Ukraine think about you’re people before it’s too late you. Don’t be stupid President of Ukraine!!! Still you will surrender in the end…you’re just waiting to destroy your country and you’re people be killed….
Remember everyone, the first Bill Biden signed was to make an exemption so this guy can take this position.
He is the biggest uneducated military officer in the history of world.
Good bet he has never commanded in any combat theatre.
He has no idea what he is even talking about.
Total …. Biden token.
..
Russian Trolls are alive and well in the comments section today.
Austin didn’t handle Afghanistan. He did nothing.
lester holt needs to just shave his whole head already
not understanding why a bunch of drones didn’t take out that convoy.

Can we just have Morgan Freeman talk to the Russian soldiers ? If there’s anyone who can persuade it’s him.
you’re wrong…we loved Freeman but he showed his real attitude towards the Russians and now he means nothing to us.
Alright Putin is an mean old cat. Why would you corner him? At the end of the line there’s nuclear weapons. Ukraine should had remained as a buffer state instead of joining NATO. Rusia should have been an allied, even if an un-leasing one, against China, where the next crisis is coming and soon (Taiwan or South China Sea).
What’s the plan if Ukraine falls into Putins orbit.. ? Do we have another 60 years of Putins one after the other.. also do the sanctions apply as harshly to Belorussia as well..?
when you crush us with sanctions until we have no food, then we will send missiles at you and everyone else with peace of mind. The worst enemy is the enemy that has nothing to lose…
During and after WWII there were literal people issued with the task of recovering as many bodies as humanly possible to try to send home and at the very least bury troops. It is actually disgusting that Putin is leaving his men dead on the battlefield with full capabilities to retrieve. Just shows how he views his expendable army. He’s willing to sacrifice his troops and people keep in mind.
NATO needs to send troops if they truly believe what they preach
You think The United Nations in The United States, and N.A.T.O., not N.A.S.A., are different businesses.
Peace for the world we are all humans this is not our planet to do what that dictator is doing
So wait Putin just woke one morning and decided to take another European country by force in 2022??? Am I dreaming or is this really happening??? Someone please tell me this isn’t real!
Ukraine made a strategical mistake to face this situation against Russia thus effectively creating economical war against all poor and developing nations around the globe. Very wrong NATO involved in the expansion taking territory under its control former soviet union republics and still expanding continuously. Is there any other similar alliance in the world like that military capacity to take down any country? Definitely NO.
Before I went to sleep, my wife said to me: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukarine.
So I said nothing, I just went to the kitchen and took a knife to bedside, then I said: Let’s go to sleep.
My wife looked at me with her wide eyes: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!
I said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Beside, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.
My wife said: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?
I said: Well, You don’t even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato.
🤣🤪
LOL … bingo.
That would make sense if she couldn’t physically hurt herself with the knife in your bed, idk if Ukraine joining NATO physically hurts Russia. Doesn’t sound like the greatest comparison
Think it over folks…….the Chinese guy was mean to the Islamic kids on his eastern border….he sent them for reprogramming or to work in his sweat shops or die instead….Trump left the goodies on the desert floor because he knows Xi needs a proper visit from them instead of American soldiers…..hey bruz….where’s our cousins at?? did you try to convert them bud??? the toys in Ukraine are no accident either…..hey Putin….what’s with the crazy business of trying to take over our choice to remain a Sovereign independent choice maker likewise…..brilliant!!!!!
You Need to do something in this war, as long the Ukrainian people keep on Fighting. maybe it’s to late to us All.
Check me back in next two weeks ! We say something about the lies 🤣
This is the onyl Correct analysis I’ve seen on the internet. Othjers Analysts say…. THEY ARE COMPLETELY WRONG.
Ukraine will fall within 21 days. There is NO doubt. The so called western “experts”, “Strategist”, “Specialist”, “Analysts” are completely out of touch with reality just like PUTLER. The Free world should be going in with FULL and UTTER force from the very start. Full NONE stop hacking, full sanctions, full embargo sea and land, full cold war walling along Russia’s Border, full airspace, cut off eletrcity in Russia…
PUTLER knows that the free world CANNOT do anything to him no matter what. Think about it. WHAT CAN THE WEST DO TO PUTLER? Even if PUTLER fires a nuclear weapons? NOTHING! BECAUSE THE WEST HAS BECOME TOO CIVILIZED, THEY HAVE BECOME TOO INDECISIVE, ALWAYS where actions are too late.
The cold war 2.0 has ALREADY started you stupid “EXPERTS”. We have already taken SMALL measures cutting PUTLER off with SWIFT and others. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD BARRIERS AND WALLS AND GAURDS ALONG THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
THIS WILL BE A VERY, VERY LONG WAR WITH PUTLER’s Russia IN POWER FOR ANOTHER 15 YEARS. The Russian military economy will be fine for another 30 years you stupid analyst, specialist, strategist F****** idiots…. Take action NOW!!
The Oligarchs? They are absolutely fine. They have ENOUGH money even wtih sanctions for another 100 years! PUTLER is laughing in his bunker at the stupidity of the free world.
WHAT WORLD ARE YOU the so called EXPERTS living in?
“Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
and he will deliver you.”
-Psalm 50 :15
You really going to follow that old Aionic crap. You try that and they will massacred ! Stupid !
Daddy is bak
Biden shut U.S. oil production down on the first day in office and put a million people out of work while we were finally energy independent for the first time in 75 years, and opened the southern border to 162 countries around the world, 3.5 million ppl and increasing. Biden is importing 600 million bbls a DAY from Russia at $109 pr bbl., and OPEC refuses to increase supply of course. Biden handed the oil and gas leverage to Putin, and he funds his military with the money, washed through the Chinese banks, who are happy to cooperate. Then, Biden orders more oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve that only lasts a day in the U.S. Sanctions don’t do much of anything. The only way to stop Putin is to quit buying his oil and destroy his refineries and pipelines and export terminals…that’s where ALL the money is, and would immediately stop his war in it’s tracks. The U.S. defeated Hitler and the Nazi machine and saved Europe in WW2 because the U.S. had ALL the oil, and that’s just the way it is. Putin attacked because Biden is a weak, frail, demented chair sitter and a puppet of the Democrat machine and Soros and Obama.
Putin has taken away the breath of many thousands people in just a week.Putin just has been using other’s sacrifices to satisfy his own evil wants, but his live. I don’t know how he pay for this debt? ?????
Joe truly sacrificing 42 million Ukrainians & they’re whole country just for joe & democrats to be able to destroy evidence & stop Ukrainian prosecutor with their corruption investigation on Buresma, under Barack Obama admin using Hunter Biden as their bagman!
“We didn’t have to be here” .🤣🤣
Thank your Commander in Chief that we are here. WEAK from the start.
Oliver Stone Ukrainehttps://youtu.be/LHH10jIRJmQ
Definitely United States got to do more to help Ukrainian defend this senseless Putin invasion of Ukraine.
What a joke this guy is, He should be commanding the police force in chicago not the US armed forces!
Lots of combat power but how about resource.
It a fine line but we must do more, russia will destroy a modern democratic nation in the process of trying to conquer it. Do we have to sit by and let that happen, I think we can fight covertly, we did it before for stupid causes, can’t we do it for a just cause.
Is it possible that the west can intervene by the terms of “aid” and “military volunteers”?.. if it is, then it will be a very big help to Ukraine.
u can volunteer and go. you will just not be affiliated in any way to the U.S. Good luck
@Cool Dr Money can you send me money so that I can go their to volunteer?
Putting is going to make every Ukanian pick up every piece of ruble. Putin is evil.
YOUR BOYS IN THOSE HELICOPTERS IN JACKSONVILE. . FLORDIA WILL PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID AND ARE DOI G TO ME AND MY TWIN SISTER …….
Russia really is no match for the u.s military
Did you just Hear this stupid oh we are supporting Ukraine so they can defend themselves ????
Makes me so mad for the rest of the mediocre Presidents of Every country US Uk Japan , France 🇫🇷 doing nothing China they all agree together
Putin is the devil. Hitler’s soul has dissolved in his body
It also has a lot of nukes.
they hope they do after all buying oil from Russia cowering
UKRAINE IS JUST A VICTIM’S OF LOVE FOR POWER AND FALSE PROMISES, UKRAINE BECOME THE GROUND FOR PROXY WAR.
Biden is so weak wobbly wishy washy.
Russians running around with DAVY CROCKETS ,that’s the age of OBIDEN. !!!!!
Do not be fooled Russia can use a cobalt munition on the United States. If Mr Putin is attacked.
Remember back in 94 when we promised to protect them after they gave up their nuke’s?
Pepperidge farms remembers.

NATO has no spine.
UNITED STARES YOU BETTER STOP WATCHING ME WITH SPYWARE INSIDE OF MY PRIVATE HOME OR NO ONE WILL MAKE IT OFF OF THIS PLANET ALIVE.
Time will pass for understanding and understanding of everything that is happening, and only then it will become clear into what abyss our President Putin and the Army did not let us fall ..
Oliver Stone Ukraine https://youtu.be/LHH10jIRJmQ..
Well, that wasn’t very confident building.
If USA AND RUSSIA NUKE EACH OTHER THEN CHINA WILL BE THE NEW EMPIRE
Mikhail Watford a Ukrainian born Oligarchy was found dead of hanging in the garage his 18 million dollar! home, “Putin’s neck tie?”
There will be no more present day ukraine. Soon there will be no one in the country to deliver weaponry to. That’s for sure considering the scale of the operation
Black people need to stand down on this .it’s not ur fight .stop playacting for the system.putin was about black people a how they treat ur people is ashame he went on Russia state media and stood behind an original painting of Christ and al them black disciples.he explained it u black people ought to be ashamed and wat he said .it’s sad but it’s 100 true .he said mr.lester holy America need to pay reparations now to the descendants of slaves and how they treat u people unto this day of peace unto all and wake up and get woke .the truth is not being told and it’s the tyranny of evil 🙈 my men
NATO is No Action Talk Only
This what happened if don’t pay attention in Turkish and Azerbaijani terror invented to Armenia 🇦🇲 good 👍
People thinking Ukraine can defeat Russia are severeley lacking in intelligence and delusional beyond measure.
Thank you for your wisdom Sir, we can clearly see intelligence in every sentence you spoke. Something to up to and learn from. If only we had REAL experts like you instead of so called “experts” who sensationalize war mongering rhetoric there is potential for some dialogue. Lets hope and pray for peace !

We should have Zero Tolerance for the Biden administration do nothing blame everyone Policies.
See the captived russians in this vid , make it viral https://youtu.be/C6v3nnxOrh4
Every human being including Vladimir Putin must put himself in the place of each person caught in the destruction that Puti n has manufactured and is still implementing in and around and over the world.
afraid of Russia and left Ukrainians to disappear
Third time under Democrats the Russians have invaded their neighbors
Sanctions are doing what they are meant to do – hurting Russia in the wallet. Resolutions are impacting Russia politically. Protests are severely tarnishing Russia’s global image. But NOTHING is stopping Russia’s military. Yes, Ukraine’s putting up a valiant fight; but, if something doesn’t change, Russia is going to crush Ukraine. Pres. Putin has chosen his path, & he will not swerve. I hope & pray for Ukraine’s survival as a free country; but I fear it’s just a rest stop along Putin’s “warpath”. The question is – where’s the NEXT one? Random observation – has anyone seen the video of the 5 small Russian children jailed in Russia for taking flowers to a Ukrainian WW2 memorial, & is it genuine?
Aliens: Stupid Human beings. Primitive.
How many American lives are these liberal war hawks suggesting we loose for Ukraine?
Hit that MF convoy 🇺🇦 🇺🇸
The worst scenario for Ukraine is to have a “modern day Stalingrad battle”. Its the only scenario which they have a slight chance to defeat the Russian army . Altough , Russia , is running out of time due to the sanctions.

Thank goodness we got good strong intelligent intelligent calm down Earth men running this country now thank goodness.
Listening to the same who experienced disaster in Afghanistan and Irak is hilarious!! Russia will show the world what is a country of fighter
U.S . Secretary of defense should thanks Soviet union for the position he is today . If not Soviet union he wouldn’t have been a free human . He should go back to history about westerns enslaved black Africans , found out the roles of Soviet union for black to recognized as human . If the tension get to worst he should resign . Because we know that Biden is the real killer . He provoked a war between Russia and Ukraine . Let’s be honest .
0-2….. If you don’t know how to wage piece…. Step aside airborne double time!
General Patton was right about the the need to keep going, in order to get rid of the Bolsheviks.
There only civs if there not armed
Bet your buddies at Raytheon are proud of you
The guy who oversaw the disaster in Afghanistan – and you idiots are heaping praise on him. He sounds slow and indecisive to me.
