Why don’t USA teach a lesson to Russia like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan???
Because US is feeding on misery of other nations. Thats how they grow. But Russia is to big of a risk for US.
Let the transgender fight the war for Ukraine and safe the women and children.
so how much is full escalation? 100 thousand deaths?
Surrender now to save people’s lives
They are heroes in weak countries like Iraq, but cowards in front of Russia!
how bout iraq afghanistan seria pelestain yamen etc, the carnage done by american
Actually NATO have no dare to oppose Russia
… because this is Russia and not Syria, Iraq, Libya or Afghanistan.
NATO knows Russia can fight back hard and has Nuke capability to boot.
Simply put: NATO only bully small weak country.
So biased.
We support Russia
Deliver the Migs to Moldova, to defend them while out of NATO, and then ‘oh what a surprise, Moldova gave them to Ukraine’. That’s basic arms smuggling…
Hey my real first name Is Fern too. I use a fake name on YouTube comments. I’m in Arizona. Met like maybe 4 Ferns in my life. I’m in later years. So I’ve been around. Lol. Have a good one
Wasntv the cia telling Ukraine that Russia was going to invade for a month and they said ” why would they attack us, they’re our brothers? “
In all and after all we can’t see our innocent Ukrainian brothers , sisters and children’s die without any reason.
Life and human value is dictated by one man with threat of nuclear bomb. Just ridiculous. The west really doesn’t understand what Putions goal would be in 10 or 20 years from now. West is just hungry for energy and consumption.
A failure of strategy. In this meaning I can understand what Trump said, Putin is genius. Yeah, Putin is leveraging with energy business with the wish as an leverage and killing innocent people, distributing the faith of humanity with dictatorship. But the burden is borne by the Ukrainian people and Russian ordinary people and by the people around the worl with pride rise, fears and uncertainty. The world is Ruled by the dumbs. Not by intellectuals, visiting tomorrows possibility for/of humanity. Why we put money in weapons, rather then star exploration, child education. Pls stop the Ukraine war, killing people. Have peace on earth.
Take a look at Iraq, Palestine, Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan and see the destructions of the country and MILLIONS of people who died.
All fair in love or war
Millions of Ukrainians fleeing their country – suffering sadly, many die in Ukraine – now. A no fly zone is a declaration of war with Russia – Use of nuclear weapons means Paris, London Frankfurt – are wiped off the earth. Now how does that solve the problem by inviting more deaths, destruction and radioactivity lasting decades?
ANY COUNTRY CAN HELP UKRAINE WITH THE AIR SUPPORT …
RUSSIAN DOESN’T OWN THE AIR UKRAINE DOES..
NATO does not own privilege to start shooting down Russian air force. That would mean direct involvement in the war and most likely end of humanity like we know it. Were you even paying attention to the video?
Russia did not want to bomb their OWN people. Ukraine to Russia is not Iraq to the USA .
No fly zone means NATO intervention and the beginning of the nuclear war.
That explains why the US dared not start a war with North Korea, but invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya basically at the snap of a finger.
The US did do a war against North Korea. It ended in a stalemate. Look up the Korea War.
@Carewolf I didn’t have nukes then.
I always say and will say it again. Russian fighting style is different to the west. They 1st exhaust the country war stamina and then start fast cleaning and you will witness this in few weeks or months. On other hand America can’t fight with boots on the ground unless it’s trapped like Vietnam. In Afghanistan they were only limited till bases and if they were under direct fire, they were using Close Air Support. Just imagine if the Taliban have the man pod missiles America should be home 10 years before their departure last year.
mooooo cows….moooo….
Are you serious? Europe to impose a No Fly zone on a super power? who is going to take the first shot at a Russian Jets? This will trigger ww3 and we shouldn’t say ww3 anymore! there’s no such thing. we should say the (Last War) Fought by the extinct Humans who spread hatread and mischiefs in the land. Actually 2 Cockroaches were having a discussion to one another. these spices will still be around long after we’re gone!
There’s only one way to guarantee your nation and country is safe from Invasion and this is to build a nuclear deterrent. Ukraine gave up these weapons and thought the west will protect it, well they did their calculations and gave support this is where it all stops Ukraine. Fighting Russia is a risk to our existence. you 2 sort it out we will be watching over you Ukraine so we know how a destruction looks like. Ukraine fell in a deep hole, i’m thinking that Ukraine is Extinct.
But there is already no fly zone in Ukraine !! Russian’s though !
The sin of war that has never been exposed by the media.
that the apocalypse is near.
💥💣😭😭😭🏳🏳🏳😭😭
No wars in Poland. Plz stay out of this war.
Why discuss something that will not happen
I am so embarrassed by the weak and cowardly response of my country, USA. We are phony people. Why does anyone trust anything we say? If you count on America, you will suffer and loose.
Please do an explainer about the russian claims of a bio-lab.
It has the comment section FREAKING out, but i froze the documents on screen and did some light translating and searching.
It seems to be a common CBRNE lab which every modern military has, researching and educating about things like Shigella, E.coli, diphteria, xerosis and other extremely common bacteria.
Please put this in context so that people stop freaking out thinking that the US was producing Sarin gas bombs or something.
they are not using Air Force to prevent indiscriminate killing of civilians like US @iraq, afghanistan, syria and list goes on
3:35 bgm
Oneside crying face of Ukraine, another side provoking Russia 😆 what is Ukraine trying to show
Why Not having a No fly zone on Palestinian air space to save the Palestinian people from Israeli apartheid ?????????
Russia is playing with fire they should end this war as fast as possible. There is no honour in destroying the infrastructure of their neighboring country .
1. Seize the control of Kiev the capital
2. Send Zeilenzky to the guillotine and all nato puppets
3. Let Ukrainian military lead the country until next election
Ww3 will be no good for USA. Maybe they will be experiences the same of hirishina civilians did. Fed up of American and Russian rule. I am not Chinese but I prefer them
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤❤❤❤❤🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Send automated SAMs!
Hypocrite News Channel.
Where were you when they bombed Afghanistan & Iraqi civilians for no reasons?
If Russia can do whatever he wishes to do by breaking the protocols and laws then why can’t Nato defend their an innocent white christians of an Ukraine 🇺🇦 as same as an europeans living in the lands of red Indians given name of an America and called themselves an americans while their an originality is an europeans
NATO needs to step up and just fight. Fck it
Let’s be honest, thugs & bullies don’t pick fair fights. Russia has nuclear weapons and is able to flatten the US and its allies. Nato isn’t coming into Ukraine anytime soon.
Shame on AL Jazeera for supporting Ukraine.
Not only is Ukraine military embedded with Neo Nazis who were laying siege to and ethnic cleansing ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine for 8 years.
Ukraine sent 5000 soldiers to aid the US invasions and occupation of Iraq in the coalition of the willing that slaughtered 600 000 to 1 million Iraqis.
Did Al Jazeera forgot about “the torture of Iraqi Inmates in Abhu Graib prison?
Did Aljazeera forget about the bombing of Falluja to the ground and usage of white phosphorus on the civilian population of Iraq.
Have you guys lost your collective minds?
The Russians gave the Ukrainians very reasonable terms to avoid this war.
Disband the Neo Nazis embedded in your military and become a neutral country free from NATO armies, weapons and missiles like Ireland, Austria and Finland to prevent the military encirclement of Russia by NATO.
Was Iraq offered such terms by the West before they Invaded and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians?
There is a need for a no fly zone as much as there was in Iraq.
Adding fuel to the fire is not going to fix this. I don’t want to pay for this nightmare.
NATO WILL JOIN IN, IT’S A MATTER OF TIME 😳💔🌷
Put it simply : direct NATO military engagement means *WORLD WAR III* and ended with *global thermonuclear war* that eradicate human civilization from earth.
that’s why NATO only support Ukrainian with weapon and supplies, but not directly fight against Russia.
💛🇺🇦
Where can I get true information? I was trusting Al Jazeera to see about truth but shows same as CNN, BBC etc.
im the biggest simp for sandra😍
Oh well now they started to dictate what our government to do what they want, we’re welcoming but not to be your ‘slaves”
The Russian are clearly showing restraint. God bless Christian Russia
RUSSIA IS NOT ATTACKING THE UKRAINIANS BUT DESTROYING THEIR MILITARY EQUIPMENTS. NATO AND USA IS THE DANGER TO THE WORLD NOT RUSSIA.
We should send them the WMDs we found at Saddam’s house
That’s psychotic the idea of escalating this into WWIII because many people don’t understand that’s exactly what a no fly zone does.
NATO is greedy..they want money..Russia is rich.. poverty taught NATO
NATO and USA will never impose no fly zone. They are just using Ukraine as a scapegoat to weaken Russia by sanctions. Zelenskyy is a fool
An NFZ won’t be enforced over Ukraine because the countries involved in it could not control the OIL AND GAS!
I speak on the tongues of the people for peace
What we see today is a dangerous escalation, statements from both sides that have not been proven true, and media directed at each party for what it sees only.
But this calls for a nuclear war and the declaration of a third world war, and each side has its allies
In my opinion, these sanctions come with a retrograde effect on the peoples of Europe and the whole world
With the increase in prices and the lack of resources, it will end in a nuclear war
We humans have to think a little before a war that is capable of destroying humanity and the beautiful aspects of life that have always blessed us with the beauty of its nature and climate.
It is upon us to have peace and to resolve matters by negotiation, and there is no room for games in order for it to pass in peace before the opportunity expires
It’s simple
Bastardized Nato just waiting for the Ukarians to die and touched.
Biden will have blood in his hands
Never ever should NATO get involved. Ukraine you are on your own and shouldn’t have looked West. Your mistake. How much did the West offer.
NUCLEAR WAR RUSSIA IS KILLING NO ONE YOU LIERS IF RUSSIA WANTED TO REALLY ATTACK UKRAINE AND KILL PEOPLE THERE WOULD BE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DEAD BODIES IN THE CITY AND IN THE STREETS THE US PUPET PRESIDENT IN UCRAINE WOULD BE DEAD AND THE CITY WOULD BE TURNED TO ASHES. that is a real russia war in ukraine
RUSSIA IS ONLY TARGETING MILITARY AND COMMUNICATION ASSETS AND EQUIPMENT NO CIVILIANS ARE BEING ATTACKED OR KILLED ONLY ONE OR MAYBE 2 PEOPLE WALKING AROUND IN THE WRONG PLACE IN THE WRONG TIME
YOU ADD A NO FLY ZONE SHOOTING DOWN RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT YOU JUS TRIGGERED WORLD WAR 3 NATO HAS 4,000 SOLDIER OR LESS AND CAN GET VERY EASILY SQUISHED BY RUSSIA SO THE FIRST 6 MONTHS EUROPE PARIS UK WOULD BE ANNIOLATED AND OBLITERATED BY NUCLEAR STRICKS RUSSIA HAS 5000 HYPERSONIC NUCLEAR WARHEADS AND SUBMARINE HIDDEN NEXT TO EUROPEAN WATERS AND AMERICAS WATERS AS SOON AS NO FLY ZONE IS ANNOUNCED WORLD WAR 3 WILL START CHINA WILL GET INVOLVED ON RUSSIA SIDE AND SO WILL IRAN AND PAKISTAN 5000 NUKES WILL LAUNCH AND NOTHING WILL GREW OR SURVIVE FOR THE NEXT 100,000 YEARS
crime against humanity
Ukraine is a 2nd jewish state in the making. Zelenski were installed by zionist movement through “media”. You Ukrainian has been fooled by Jewish hand. Becareful! Putin on the other hand he just being reactive to the Sanction imposed and the eastward expansion of NATO. Now we witness that US politician, those in EU building kinda at halt and throw hot statement to escalate the war. They want the war to be between Ukrainian. The frontline is there in Ukraine. They don’t want to put frontline at their home city. This is the price for collaborating with Jewish. They suicidal. They dont care about Ukarainian.
The no fly zone in ukrain is impossible cos of s400 simple
Do No fry zone or give jets to ukraine.
You have to do even one of the two
If you dont Is this just for ukraine to die?
Please help them by what they really need.
Why lie , I love Russia .this is What west has been doing to the rest of the world, it’s only bad when it’s done to them.
Putin’s defenders blame the war on “NATO expansion”. How can anyone blame NATO when it is Russian bombs that are falling on Kyiv? NATO never expands by force. Countries join NATO because it is their own wish. And countries wish to join NATO not because they want to conquer their neighbors, but because they are afraid of one particular neighbor. And when you see the images from Ukraine, can you blame countries like Estonia or Poland for fearing Russia?
Putin’s defenders say Russia feared it would be invaded. By who exactly? The last time anyone invaded Russia was when Hitler did it 80 years ago, and who is crazy enough to want to do it again? Was the German army secretly massing on the border in preparation for Blitzkrieg? Did Napoleon rise from his grave to lead a French army to Moscow? Can you name a single country that was preparing to invade Russia in 2022?
Imagine Hitler is advancing in Europe and Churchill is giving an inspiring speech:
we will sanction them in the beaches,
in the banks and in the clearing systems,
in most of West London and some luxury car dealerships!
No fly zone can only work where the opponent is weak.
US / NATO would be mad to even think about it in Ukraine.
Of course, US / NATO only fight against those who cannot fight back.
Essentially, a bully. A rogue and vile power!!!!
Should down the Russian forces out of the territory of russia its “Not the War agains russia ” , and You Should to Understand That ..
To see what will happen?
Me personally hope someday Poland enjoy Ukraine like they enjoy China
NATO and US only attack defenceless countries. They do not have gall to take anyone who would give the slightest response.
Let’s talk…blah blah blah.
No more Nato involvement.
I love this woman! Amazing voice!
Some of the picture that are shown in the background are the demolished building of Syria not UKRAIN.
True. How terrible to use Syrian misfortune to illustrate Ukranian misfortune, while ignoring similar attacks in Donbass, Syria, Yemen, etc
So Ukraine is on their own, I hope they can all move out from it as quickly as possible,.
her English is excellent no doubt thanks so much. TORONTO -CANADA and I speak spanish..
Vlad just keeps them guessing, slowly destroying Ukraine, with minimal cost or risk to Russian air force. Just keeping the arty guns hot and securing Crimea water supply plus Donbass.
This is hypocrisy!
If you are not willing to go to the war with Russia, than shot the f@ck up about No-fly zones!
Same like USA didn’t gave the Polish MIG-29s to the Ukrainians.
Hi Sandra.Could you please do a Start Here episode on the Syrian veterans in Ukraine? (Great show by the way).
NATO has no choice but to send troops.
Respond to nuclear threats with nuclear weapons .
They are not attacking with the full might of their air force because it’s not in their best interests to completely annihilate or obliterate the population of Ukraine, that’s why before they attacked Mariupol, they temporarily ceased fire to give chance to civilians to leave the city before going in full force
Saint clown (zelenskey) to russia : (sitting in the lap of nato and us)
I can do whatever I want.
Russia to clown : don’t do like this.
Clown to russia :
There is nothing you can do.
Russia :
I say don’t do.
Clown:
I’ll .
Russia:
Attack on clown.
Clown:
Now if you attack again i will teach you a lesson.
Russia:
Attack again and hit hard.
Clown:
I am sure now you can’t do nothing.
Russia:
Russia bring 64 km long military convoy and enter in Ukraine.
Clown:
Now you can’t do nothing my fellows will put sanctions on you.
Russia:
More attack and hit more hard.
Clown:
I’ll win.
Russia:
Converting ukraine into junkyard.
US… Nato sanctioned russia.
Russia:
Banned his products to US…and Nato.
Hit more hard and declare no fly zone in ukraine.
Clown:
We are winning.
Russia:
👊🏽💥💣 hit more 😎.
Gas price go higher in US and in Nato.
This is short story untill now.
Let’s see what happens next.
Western media constantly laying.
Actually Russia is very strong on his stance.
afghanistan,iraq,libyaa,syiria,palestine 😭😭😭😭
People saying “US trying to push Poland into the war.” While it’s our Govs here in the Baltic States and Poland pushing US and the rest to send planes. US played down and refused this stupid plan. IT WAS US PROPOSING FOR PLANES TO BE SENT INTO UKRAINE and THIS TIME, IT WAS US REFUSING THIS NONSENSE AND I AM THANKFUL FOR IT.
the face of ukarine is totaly damaged
need to stop this asap
Good Moring Sandra, I am a frequent viewer of this chanel and like to thank you for you responsible work. I woudl like to sugest a feature : what does exactly the “run away” of the big companies such as Pepsico, Coca-Cola, MacDonald’s , Starbuchs and the likes from Russia mean to economy and to regular custumers ? ( I argue that those companies operate different when compared with International banks, credit card companies such as Visa and Master Card, and Petrol ) please ….
Pak Saudia relationship please make a video on it
OR , Russia simply holding back its very best air power for further escalation.
A chance for Libyans, Syrians, Afghans, Iranians to take the fight to NATO. Should this be a Jihad?
We know Russia got more power then shown in Ukraine, maybe their air forces wasn’t meant for Ukraine. Saving them for later attacks somewhere else
Cry me a river talk about hypocrisy but white people always on code
After this all people see ukraine finish and colapse because fault us send many weapon
Flying warplanes into a war zone. (Shrugs innocently) “we’re just delivering them…” riiiight.
So, this war has just showed the real power of NATO. It’s getting weak and loosing it’s credibility.
NATO will never fight Russia, period. Ukraine is a convenient puppet, a sacrificial goat that the West needed for some moral legitimacy. Capitalists don’t fight wars with equals that they know they can perhaps lose to, they only invade weaker nations.
