“Vladimir The Slav Slayer” appreciates your virus spreading!
I don’t fall for spam
UKRAINISTAN AZOV NAZIS and MERCS from Poland
BEFORE “russian troops invaded” the U$ planted explosives under the Nord Stream II Pipeline but M$M isn’t reporting, they’re parroting MIC Narrative.
It’s NOT a war for democracy, these people are ignorant. It’s an OIL WAR stop lying. U$ HEGEMONY

Biden not show military and economic plans strategy’s and future for Ukraine
nah nah it was released yesterday:
Biden – “Make ruzzians and vatniks cope and seethe, send more equipment”
so far no one is discussing it publicly. Or do you want it all at once?
Few ‘western’ officials will admit that the war is lost, that Russia has won in Ukraine. But it has. It had won the war when it successfully trapped the Ukrainian army into a war of attrition. Ukraine has already lost two armies and it is begging for a third one. But the ‘West’ is unable to deliver it. As the fighting continues to rage, both sides of the Atlantic fear that Russia is finding its footing, Ukraine may be overmatched in certain parts of the east and south and the West’s pipeline of weapons will slow to a trickle. The ‘West’ cannot provide enough for long enough to give the Ukraine even a small chance to win the war.
Faster please, is what the U.S. is telling Ukraine. Hurry up because we will soon have to end our support.
But the Ukrainian army does not have the material and manpower ready to launch some kind of counter offense that would have a chance to be win the war. It doesn’t even have enough to regain some significant territory.
The third army it would need to have to be much stronger than the two armies it has already lost. And it’s not coming.
So, what is the ‘West’ going to do? Deliver more wonder weapons?
can’t imagine throwing your life away for the obiden crime family and their puppet zelenskyy…
what a waste
How in modern times does war even exist?
Mafia
Because of power hungry politicians who will just send the poor to fight their wars…
Because bad people still exist in modern times, just like they did in olden times.
How do people like Putin even exist these days? That’s what interests me
Russia is clearly stuck in the Middle Ages. And Putin was inspired by Hitler
Dictatorship vs Democracy 👍💯🦾🇺🇦✌️
@krnpowr Filthy anti-war Republicans. Democrats have to start every war.
@Robert Jones Which war have Democrats started? It’s the Rethugliekkklans with all their unnecessary, lie-based, unpaid for wars. Are we forgetting W’s lie-based war in Iraq already, MAGAt?
@krnpowr Demo(n)crats founded the KKK. They started and lost the Civil War. A democrat was president when America got involved in WW1 and WW2.
@Robert Jones Umm… yeah, we’re all coginizant of that aspect of history. However, if you haven’t noticed, the bigots and fascists have since defected to the Rethugliekkklan party, and the progressives have jump sides to the Democrats.
@krnpowr What is your evidence. It is obvious that most racism is coming from the democrats today. Polls show most racists vote Democrat or not at all. I’m a Libertarian and I can tell the most racist of the two main parties are just what they say. Democrats are openly bigoted as a party and don’t have a problem harming kids.
RUCK FUSSIA
I second that sentiment
I third the same sentiment but more towards Putin. The soldiers are only being lied to and under penalty of death. That’s why Putin will lose.
And Ukraine
The Russians want that good farmland and a bridge to Crimea. It’s not a stalemate the Ukrainians are winning. Soon, their will be advanced weaponry and the Ukraine will be all together.
Brandum started this war in 2014
He wasn’t president troll
He wasn’t even president then
Putin would highly dislike that comment because Putin has planned this and has been very happy about it.
100% casualty rate in his group (150 soldiers). Impressive! They will be all wiped out by the Russians soon. It is what it is.
Russia a Super power can’t even make enough ammo for a invasion of Ukraine? Putin is a FOOL TO TAKE ON NATO POWERS IS SUICIDE!!!!!
Russia will lose.
Please remember your words lieutenant, “It’s about democracy”. After this war is over and Ukraine has won her freedom there will be tough choices. The fastest way a free people can lose their freedom is to themselves. Slava Ukraine!
Stop stealing my tax dollars for Ukraine. It is Russian territory.
LET BE HONEST… THE REAL REASON FOR THIS WAR IS THE DOLLAR… THATS HOW USA CONTROLS THE WORLD… BUT NATURALLY THEY ARE DECLINING AND THEY CANT USE THIS SYSTEM ANYMORE… CHINA AND RUSSIA ARE NOT ALLOWING… USA HAS A RANGE OF TIME THAT CAN STILL FIGHT CHINA… THAT IS 5 TO 10 YEARS AFTER THAT IS GAME OVER… CHINA WILL RULE
a few make $$$$$ while pawns die
Tell it to Putin, swine
Dragons breath coming to warm them 😈
MASS MURDER: The Real Numbers Out Of Ukraine Are Horrifying.
President Putin: “We are not at war with the people of Ukraine, have already said this many times, they became hostages of the Kiev regime and its western masters, who actually occupied this country in the political, military, and economic sense.”
President Putin: “See what they do with their own peoples- the destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, mockery of children, and pedophilia are declared the norm.
The norm of their life.”
The civil war in Ukraine has raged for 8 years, at the cost of more than 14,000 lives. It began with a US-backed, 2014 coup that ousted Ukraine’s democratically elected government in Kiev. In its place came a regime chosen not by the Ukrainian people but by America.
Russia is going to send 1 million troops into the Ukraine. If it doesn’t quickly achieve the objective they’re going to order the evacuation of Ukrainian cities and then they’re gonna drop a tactical nuke with the warning any country supporting The Ukraine is going to get hit with hypersonic missiles and tactical nukes if Ukraine doesn’t surrender in 48 hours they’re going to hit them with atomic bombs until they surrender. Biden said he is willing to lose 100, million Americans. Let’s see if he’s the man of his word or if he comes to his sensesHvdss
@Vlad Putin Pure Kremlin nonsense
We turned Ukraine in a meat grinder for Russian troops. Putin is feeding another 200,000 into that sausage maker.

SLAVA UKRAINI!
God bless Ukrainian heroes 🙏🙏🙏
Cut all military support for Ukraine.
Hello 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Whoa, trench warfare?. That’s a game changer am I right?. For sure has not been happening for over a year now.
РОССИЯ ПОБЕДИТ! РОССИЯ ВСЕГДА ПОБЕЖДАЕТ!
God bless you Ukrainian you win because God with you His love and Mercy ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💪💪💪💪Amen
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
We pray together with Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏
from Texas with love
@Marta another bot acct 😂🤡
@Thersa Williamson Actually it will Victory for one corrupt country over another corrupt country.
imagine the irony… even a German Shepperd gets angry when the master stepped on its tail…
yet the Germans didn’t say anything when their master, the U S, bo.mbed their most vital energy source and crippled their industries and household heating and power bills…
0:26 The Ukrainian soldier says: “There is a threat …” and then his speech is drowned out by the translation of the announcer, who instead of these words says: “We will not lose our country. We will defend it with our bare hands …”
It seems to me, or Americans are being misled?
@aumarigan The only translation is the CORRECT translation, not American lies.
@aumarigan I do not rule out that I made excessive demands, I did not try to find the words of this soldier in direct speech in full. Perhaps, I’m even ready to agree that this is a reflex to hiding the source – “hide the original, then they lie.” However, in this video, even the first words of the soldier were changed in translation. Why did I think that they twisted every word of his? Including later that the first words were changed. That’s what my comment was about.
@Evil Ivan It’s a troll… 😂
@Thersa Williamson Ukrainians do not need your prayers. Hypocrites.
With all due respect out of World War 1 & 2 that ain’t no f****** trench and second of all they aint living in no sludge man that mud puddle you get everywhere in this city day to day.
And dont get me wrong if I had my passport rn as a Canadian I would love to help . But cmon news. Most ppl working any news establishment is probably older then most . So really. Was history not a thing ? Like these men and women and children are suffering yes. But not the way it’s been. So God help us all before history replays itself.

Trench Warfare??? WW1?
In a war where you lack air superiority + the opposing side has more troops/resources = defensive operations via fixed positions requires less troops and offers you better protection. Once the western equipment promised to Ukraine is on hand however and integrated into their military = they can once again go on the offensive. In the meantime let the Russians bleed themselves dry. 🤔
Sadly, the tax payers of the world will be footing the bill for all that Russia has done in Ukraine.
Good. Long live the Russian Army. Z
I want them both to lose.
Outside of the fake news media and obiden crime family, nobody in America wants any part in Zelenskyy’s war.
Biggest dictators Usa
Absolutely Democracy vs Dictatorship 💪🏻😎🌏
Russia is hardly a Democracy.
@Robert Jones they’re no hard or soft democracy system in the world.
“The 20th century was the century of trench warfare. Now it’s tranche warfare, debt tranches.” – Max Keiser
Ooops he was wrong, they’re fighting in the trenches again. Never underestimate Russia’s ability to be backward.
low quality, but the guy lost his whole 150 man team. That’s funny!!
Rothschilds made all wars and only juz profit from all wars. Zion Protocols.
Western countries definitely boycott made in China product **boycott, *worldwide Chinese made products is every freedom loving citizens of the world’s moral duty alone** indeed! About economics, David Ricardo economic theory of comparative trading advantages, {stated his theory at the end as very important reminder how China can hurt itself so much more than Western Countries, which China will be absolute terrible economic loser, at the least and so much more, if she, China, choose such foolish path by *aiding and abetting war criminals and terrorist state like Russia*!}, etc. is what China has been utilizing and yet China still must to build and sustain any economy that China is ONLY *supply side player more than demand side and technically and otherwise, no way anywhere China’s export economy can sustain the level of required, absolutely, WITHOUT trading quite deeply integrated economic partners with US, UK, EU! US can experience some inconvenience, high cost, but US has option from two dozen or more countries around the world from high tech goods from Japan, S Korea, more from EU, and low cost goods from near 80-million plus Vietnam, basically China’s nemesis, and India will not stop trading with US, and 100 plus million Mexico, next door to US, the ENTIRE North, South, Central Latin America, 100 million plus Philippine, near 300 million Indonesia, near 70 million Thailand, and Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and most of middle eastern countries US, UK, EU can get their *cheaper goods from aforementioned counties any problems, and *in fact, these countries would be more than happy to increase their trade with US, EU, and UK. However, with US, UK, EU, like now, banded together to sanctions many more ways than China the devastating economic sledgehammer shall strike at the heart of China’s economy; if and when China decided to as supply lethal arms to Russian in a way to emulate US of proxy war supporting Ukraine, China’s economy shall crumble without any shadow of doubt indeed, aside from being another global-pariah with being *war criminal country Russia’s accomplice! In terms of military aspect of China, without flourishing economy, any country for that matter, China’s military will eventually crumble much faster rate than anyone can envision! So, STOP worry, because I shall say if there is any *commonsense in China’s leadership, one does not have to be grand scale strategist, China must stay out of being *war criminal accomplice of evil Russian war criminal mafia regime in a state scale! Do NOT need to make too complicated polices, analysis, etc. China’s survival to feed its 1.4 billion people and maintain now built middle class, it is with US, EU, UK, otherwise, already been stated, extremely foolish China’s leadership is committing *economic suicide and betrayal to her, China, own people’s livelihood indeed… Just below wiseman’s foretold! *Details about David Ricardo {Scottish Economist and number one student of Adam Smith, a father of Economics, i.e. The author of the *Wealth of Nations, etc.*} [An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith]. USA
After the train wreak in Ohio and Biden going to Ukraine, my neighbor took down his Ukraine flag.
People are starting to realize the US has no business in Ukraine.
Sure. No relevance between the two, and no connection. But there are probably a decent amount of Ukrainian immigrants in Ohio who don’t want Putin to steal their home country.
And it’s too bad they think that way. If it were not for our help to Ukraine, Putin would have been in Europe long ago. Or are you saying it wouldn’t have been our business either?
@Anh Conroy You sound like a Democrat. Democrats started every word war. War never solved anything.
Tragic for such beautiful people of Ukraine
This tragic was made by Russia and only them
Russia brings suffering all the time. They attacked many countries and destroyed many cities and killed many people. The Russians are the real barbarians of the Middle Ages
@Valery Ferry A disgusting state of criminals and barbarians. I fully support Ukraine and I am sure they can defeat them. The more help we give them, the sooner they win
It is tragic that their leaders are so corrupt. Like the leaders of the United. States. America.
I’m glad to see how the 51st state of Ukraine is doing thank you nbc
OMG its devolved into a war of attrition. Just like world war one…. Fantastic…
The Russians sent so many soldiers to the slaughter near Soledor Ugledar and Bakhmut,
that the defense of these cities will go down in history as the Kremlin’s bloodiest crimes against its people…
The Ukrainian people everywhere are fighting against the Moscow invaders.
Russia is an evil empire. it must be disarmed, like the 3rd Reich 80 years ago
These three cities together won’t have the number of citizens of 100 thousand people. Why they killed so many people their ? For what?
@Kenyatta Anderson I also find lots of common with Putin and Hitler
@Valery Ferry they are literally the same person. And what’s sad is that Western politicians are doing the same mistake they did with Hitler in 1930s. They are trying to talk to him, to change his mind, to pacify him. And it never works with an aggressor. Didn’t work with Hitler, won’t work now. We need to take strong actions instead of just talking. We need to aid Ukraine in their fight for freedom, arming Ukrainian army and letting them “speak” will be much more effective.
For Putin, soldiers are the same resource as oil, only cheaper.
You cannot measure this maniac by human standards.
Putin first plundered Russia, and then began to attack its neighbors
Ukrainian soldiers successfully defense their country and they have all the possibilities to return their territories back in this year
It’s essential to recognize that this won’t bring any benefits to the world in the long run. The more military aid we offer, the less we will be able to support Ukraine’s civilian population later on. Those with combat injuries will have to leave the war, causing new issues for Europe. Russia has a track record of terrorizing civilians.
That’s why we must help them. This will speed up the approach to Victory
I will believe it when I see it.
I hope he and his people will survive this war and return home to their families. We need to help Ukraine to win this war until even more people will suffer from it. It’s been obvious for months now that putin doesn’t care about peace so negotiations are not really possible here. Even if Ukraine will agree on something with russians – they will lie as they always did and this war will continue regardless. What we need is a complete military victory of Ukrainian army over russian occupants. Only that will be a guarantee of a peaceful Europe.
Russians lie all the time. Putin is a hypocrite. Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2014, Ukraine agreed to negotiations. And now Russia has unleashed a full scale war. Russia lies and only lies
We must halt this aggression before it causes harm to the majority. The implications of the aftermath could have catastrophic consequences for the region’s future. Furthermore, continuing hostilities and attacks on civilians will exacerbate the exodus, adding pressure to other countries.
With our help, Ukraine has been fighting the Russian occupiers for a year now. The most important thing is to increase aid so that Ukrainians can regain the territories occupied by Russia
Only with our help Ukraine is getting closer and we need to help further. For freedom!
The f-16s will help close the skies over Ukraine and thus civilian casualties will be reduced. It is important to understand that Russia is a big and heavy enemy with a lot of equipment. Ukraine must reach parity in the amount of military equipment
Russia is actually a difficult adversary and the fact that Ukraine is winning is thanks to our support. Ukraine just wants to protect your people and be free
☮️ End NATO 🇺🇳 so these senseless, needless, and endless proxy wars can NOT ever happen again ☮️💕

She’s good and guaranteed, with her you get to see forex trade from a different angle….working with her is all about win win win
My first experience with Mrs Lorraine gave me the assurance that has made me to invest without fear of loosing, I got four of my friends involved with her already
When someone is straight forward at what he or she does people will always speak for them
True! I had a profit return of $57,000 USD trading with her past week
@Jessica Jessica That’s huge,you mean seven business days?
Hello?! Russia has never stopped. So…new? Hardly, same ole meat grinder tactics. What is so new about it?
This is a very important period for Ukraine because now the victory is very close. This is why it is so important to continue helping Ukraine
Are you a Democrat? You sound like a Democrat, they believe anything they are told.
Glory to Ukraine!
1:53 Russian general at the front, to Vladimir Putin: “We shall double our efforts”.
Putin: “I hope so, commander. For your sake.”
That guy is epic. What a real leader looks like.
@Robert Jones no, unless you mean Darth Vader
For a year now, Russia has been destroying Ukrainian territory and civilians. We must not allow Putin to decide to go against Europe, so we must help Ukraine until it wins.
Ukraine needs as many weapons as possible to win and preferably as soon as possible. There is nothing left to procrastinate, it is time to send weapons.
Ukraine needs more weapons. Then they will not only be able to successfully confront the enemy, but also to counterattack. They need fighters jets and heavy weapons

Didn’t the leader of the Ukraine ban church?
Yes.
Gee, you’d think by the story and a lotta comments Ukraine is Christ incarnate.
This war is a hoax to sucker USA into war and get weapons.Why are we supporting war again America.America you are so gullible.America you will believe anything the news says.This is a well run Hollywood movie.Remember White Noise movie.USA will not be able to tell movie from reality thanks to people like L Ron Hubbard.
This is a war for natural gas pumped from Qatar. I am ashamed of my country.
That Ukrainian soldier is so dumb I thought he was a caveman
If you want to report on the war you should also show the reality of how horrible it really is and show the dead bodies that have been blown to pieces so people can have a real aspect un edited then they might strive for peace
That’s in large part what turned everyone against Vietnam.
The news works with the US state department.
war for democracy? ah ah ah but you forgot to tell that zelensky has forbidden all political parties in ukraine
Y’all is about to fall in the hands of a way bigger evil if y’all think Russia is the bad guy
This just tells us that the days of the tanks are coming to an end and artillery as returned to be the dominant force on the battlefield, our great great grandfathers has tanks to breakthrough and today we have the means to counter them effectively, trench warfare has for some long coming back to be the norm of modern warfare
Russia truly started this unfortunate war. And Russia specializes in killing innocent civilians… due to their Putin-induced hatred and heartlessness. Countries that support Russia are equally diabolical.
