@Felipe Q no. I just don’t appreciate the redressing of war in language used to undermine it’s cruelty. Especially when the motivation is from a pundit, presumably trying to do it for financial motives.
The United States call it “Liberation” instead of “Invasion”. That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on… Why the double standard? Confused… Please enlighten. Genuine question…

@ThePreciseMoment Agreed but the issue is that America is trying to play this high moral ground game of criticizing russian invasion when they themselves have invaded most countries after ww2(with the help of NATO ofcourse, American military is too weak to fight 1v1)
Finally mainstream media might have to admit that Putin isn’t responsible for the oil and gas prices. Our “leaders” are responsible. We need to end the sanctions. They aren’t working anyway!
The question is how long western governments can even pretend to afford these expensive sanctions which in my opinion are short-sighted and unnecessarily self-inflicted in hope that war would end in a short while.
But you know what, Russians knew the predictable western response and had been preparing for years. While Putin does not need elections, Western leaders do!
Speaking of supporting Ukraine, EU leaders could have done a better job by giving a constant supply of arms to Ukraine which may have forced the hand of Putin.
Instead, it looks like Ukraine will soon run out of ammunition!! Remember, Russians know how to live with poverty while they do have what matters most food, fuel, and raw materials for making arms to continue fighting this stupid war for years!!

All this globalization meeting commerce up, every thing is connected but as we know you need gas and oil for countries to move on about their business gas is primary source and many industries depend on it directly or indirectly.
soon all leaders of the western ‘demorcacies’ will be voted off by their taxpayers as they will not tolerate to fund the Russia-USA war happening in Ukraine any longer. The EU made an economic suicide while due to high prices Russia’s income tripled. Short sighted idiotic view. You cannot feed your kids with principles they will starve and you cannot set an aim which is putting a world nuclear power to its knees. The winner will be China, India and of course USA which is happy to sell its LNG to the EU at higher prices while a strong German economy based on cheap Russian gas and oil scares the hell out of the USA.
the cost of living crisis is because the west has decided to pay the so called ‘cost of freedom’, for Ukraine Donbass to remain Ukrainian, the west pumped the money of the world into ukraine (with little result) and Zelenskij demanding additional 750 billion USD which will be paid by the western taxpayers. Sanctioning oil and gas only increased the cost of gas and oil and Russia’s income tripled, China and India buying Russian gas and oil 30% less price than the west. For Ukraine to win (it never will but anyway) the western taxpayers must starve. Forget cost of living crisis this is nothing yet. When you cannot feed your kids then you must decide is it worth for Donbass to remain ukranian. You decided to pay the cost of freedom so do not whine. Enjoy the western style of living while it lasts
I said this on day one, this is not war between Russia and Ukrain. This is war between USA and Russia. Ukrain is just a scapegoat to weaken Russia, unfortunately the rest of the EU fell in.
Not in the foot, in the head. It’s called suicide.
Nice, special operation. I think this guy swapped his script for his RT appearance by accident.
it may be possible that you can’t handle the truth because of seething russophobia.

@Malcolm XCX nobody ever appreciates that and it will help if others who never fight others to try and talk this out. Hypocrisy should be stopped

Gee, it’s almost like we should go nuclear. Too bad that Russia is an important player in that too. FINISH BUILDING OUR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, RYSSÄT!
Europe keep on kicking the soccer ball into their own goal and counting the score.
All the sanctions against Russia is just jumping on mines like mario.

yes, still the boss who started the fire/mastermind who else if not the US? after that just sit and watch with the popcorn
@peace regardless of race Yeah the US started this fire and it burned their friend Europe and soon it’ll come to bite them in the back.
It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” — Henry Kissinger
Europe goverment must been forced to plant many electrolysis in europe, seawater will save european from destruction of humanity.
Can’t denied US command that’s the result of Eu’s burden
Can’t win a war without commodities and with energy insecurities
All this globalization meeting commerce up, every thing is connected but as we know you need gas and oil for countries to move on about their business gas is primary source and many industries depend on it directly or indirectly.
Europe Sanction to Russia is sanction herself…

Years ago they laugh at trump for this.
From Russia’s point of view: Never interrupt the enemy when it’s making a mistake.
Europe cannot shoot
It s the leaders who are shooting in my foot
West; Well, I guess closing MacDonald’s didn’t really solved the problem.
‘What nou guys..?’
I said this on day one, this is not war between Russia and Ukrain. This is war between USA and Russia. Ukrain is just a scapegoat to weaken Russia, unfortunately the rest of the EU fell in.
The greedy bastard’s need to be beheaded. Mass beheadings everywhere.
Europe didn’t shoot itself in the foot,the Americans did
