  1. American Corporate news media is a bigger catastrophe than Ukraine.

  2. "Fight to the last man", even if as a direct result millions die of famine in the rest of the world? For what? So he can continue bombing innocent civilians, violate peace agreements, take cash from the west and cover for neonazis? Just another craven psychopath.

  3. Zelensky should take Africa out of his fvcking mouth! He should face his freaking life and his comedy…Africa and Africans don’t need no lectures from a comedian

  4. Zelensky is lying, as usual, he has mined the waters ahead of the Russians, the mines are drifting and now ships cannot enter these ports!!!

  5. Good the world is too fat .. ✌️

  6. Nothing illegal,proper court,how about the ukraine kangaroo court,they started the trial and it leads to this.The young russian soldier did not get a fair trial neither.

  7. Africa is been starving before the ukraine special operation,no one gave them nothing,so don't even mention the horn of africa.

  8. Ukraine has the harbour heavily mined.Ukraine is starving you.

  9. So the world gone mad because two biggest countries that product nearly most of grain in the world too busy to play war with each other instead of be good poor farmers work without complaining about price they being paid?

  10. boy this looks like a war zone, people are running around scared and getting killed in the street. oh wait I don't see any of that

  11. Q
    Backroom deal
    To downsize humans
    How better to do it than starving them to death? And kids?
    Q

  12. Good thing, south America grows all that!!

  13. This is all really silly and could've been avoided had the US and NATO heeded Putin's boundaries, warnings and red lines, but instead they chose to ignore Putin, not taking seriously negotiations that would have prevented this war, now the whole world must pay for the West's profuse arrogance…!!!

  14. Putin's lawless, barbaric slaiughter of actual human beings is a historic fact that should forever define Russia's legacy if we are to continue as a moral civilization.

  15. I didnt know Trains had Tires..LoL 😂🚞🐿

  16. Who cares America first stop all aid to the world

  17. If you'd surrender. The food crisis would be over…

  18. Maybe the 81,000 mine's that the ukrainians decided they needed to put into the Black Sea will have a lot to do with any kind of transport of Commodities on the Black Sea. So basically the ukrainians created their own nightmare with this one blame Russia all you want but you won't find a captain of any ship anywhere that will put his ship on the black seat with those mines floating around

  19. Our foolish president will have America in a war with Russia before it's over. He is clueless. 18 to 35 how many of you will show up for the draft? This is your president.

  20. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

  21. Call your Senator's office and demand a stop to US Taxpayers money being sent to Ukraine. 2022 and 2024 coming vote these people out if your voice is not heard.

  22. Double talk. Ukraine mines in the black sea are blocking ships leaving port not the Russians but everything Zelenskyy says is instantly reported and repeated as if it appeared on stone tablets.

  23. We need to sending long range missile to Ukraine 🚀👈😁 black Sea will open

  24. At least Fentanyl is cheaper and more available

  25. It's a sad day when the new inflation numbers are higher than Joe Biden's approval rating.

  26. Zalensky is draining the west dry. 😪

  27. If you haven't stocked up on food, water and weapons your about to be too late.

  28. Wtf are you doing there?
