  1. I am sick of hearing Americans bitch about gasoline prices.. If you want to reduce your transportation cost; TRY CARPOOLING! If you want something to bitch about, move to Ukraine. We are supporting Ukraine on the cheap when just a couple of years ago we gave billionaires a $2 trillion dollar tax cut. So far we have given Ukraine less than 1/tenth of that amount. Add to this our former President is promoting Putin's efforts. In 1776 he would have faced a pretty grim punishment for such behavior. Our country has lost it's moral integrity and I believe this loss is permanent.

  2. if it is impossible to get your money for the sale of our goods, and buy your own goods for your money, then your money is not worth the paper on which it is printed.

  3. shell, as they worked in russia, they still work, and BP. and payments are accepted by cards. just someone wants to shout loudly, wait until everyone runs away, and skim cream.

  4. Nice propaganda by western media. Dont dream but wake up and see the fact…nobody is going to impose sanction on russia except probably the G7 countries…rather the rest of the world will start trading with Russia out side dollar…Russia is a store house of oil, wheat and many cutting edge technology…those are cheaper than western technologies….rather G7 will remain cut off from the rest of the world (over whelming majority of population) ….and lastly China will become tremendously powerful and will one day just wreck the neck of usa by a snap

  5. If Americans do a little research they'll realise just how much their Government is f#cking them……. Sanctions really, if the sanctions are so effective then why is the current price of gasoline in Russia only $2.30 a gallon (that is the most expensive by the way)……..
    Seems to me that the U.S government has put sanctions on their own people.

  6. In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus. 5000 people were killed,1600 remain missing and 200,000 people were displaced. So far their are zero sanctions against Turkey. How about developing some consistency with foreign policy? Murder is Murder, whether Russia does it or a NATO member country. I hope for peace for the Ukrainian people.

  7. put sanctiona in china as well they have invaded our island -PH

  8. so what? you started a war with your own shadow? began to terrorize the Russians in your country? who have not even seen weapons in their lives. I am more and more convinced that President Putin is doing everything right. this is how you need to act against your fascism

  9. biden allowed russia to be self sufficient, they don't care if we don't buy their vodka.

  10. Do you think russia even care about those silly sanctions?

    Russia would have predicated the outcome way before the war. they don't care about sanctions. but russia's only concern was will USA attack them or not? answer is in front of everyone.

    Russia observed from afgantisan crisis how US ignored them.

  11. Sanctions are illegal. But also they could just go to Satan's fake alien mall carnival beach fake paradise. They could also go to China.

  12. Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Somalia, Palestine. When NATO bombed Yugoslavia, you were great and you were noble.

  13. It's across the world. I live on a small Island in Canada. Bars poured out all Russian vodka and any Russian product has disappeared. Putin sucks.

  14. "I heard from a very reliable source that the sanctions against Russia amounted to about $2.00 US. I don't believe any of this program." ~ 30% of the USA – MAGA!

  15. The host of this show is pretty bad “can you like tell me stuff that I already know like cause you know” it’s almost as if she never left her teens.

  16. Sanction for Russia and invasions for usa. Now it suits. No one do sanction if it’s usa .. only America have the right to invasions

  17. Somebody please tell me, what is Putin doing that America hasn't? Putin
    wants to overthrow a country. America is an expert on that. Putin uses
    propaganda. America said Black Americans were communists because they
    refused to back American support for foreign control in South Africa and
    elsewhere. Putin readies nuclear forces. America dropped two bombs on
    Japan and treated Nazi officers and criminal scientists better than they treated their own
    minority soldiers. Any foreign country can ask for AND GET billions in
    aid from our government, but you, a citizen, are not likely to get a
    response from officials if you are tired of your people being shot up in
    American cities. Nor will a NATO country speak up for you. I am not
    saying Putin is right, but who is America to give lessons on human
    rights?

  18. The Lefty Left Marxist America Has Never Been Great Democrats/Rino's the Fake News Media and the Biden/Harris administration have betrayed America. Biden's energy policy has fueled Putin the Madman.This would never happened if Trump was still POTUS….Let's Go Brandon!…FJB👀

  19. I am Russian and I want to say that your sanctions will not break us! We in Russia have long understood that America's goal is to weaken Russia, its goal is to plant Russophobia. European countries are American puppets, they are ready to shoot themselves in the foot to please the owner. Russia's retaliatory sanctions will weaken your economy! Your business will lose a lot of money.

  20. Why Did Western Do Imbalance With Rusia And This World??? For Example, Why Did America, Europe Union, And United Nations do not give Israel Sanction, New Resolutions Or Etc??? In Other Hand, We Know Israel Did So Many Violating Of Human Rights In Palestine. What About America In Iraq,Afganistan And Suriah? Do You Think It Is Right??? Think About It

  21. hypocrites, gives Texas back to Mexico, before to criticize Russia.

  22. America play such games and put every other country at risk.

  23. Full scale attack….you guys are so irresponsible with your fake news. Be serious please, do you really think that Russia is an a FULL SCALE WAR against Ukraine?

  24. Reporter Aaron Katersky please stop calling the missile that hit the Apt. Build. "Errant" missile! It was an intentional Russian Cruise missile like many other missiles and rockets fired by the Russian at urban areas for the purpose of killing, destroying, terrorizing and demoralizing civilian population! Russian Gov. does not deserve one iota of credence! 💙🇺🇦💛

  25. Why don’t we offer every Russian solder that will quit fighting 10,000.00 euros reward ( they are paid $29/month right now by Kremlin)
    They will stop fighting and this will cost everybody less considering the financial and infrastructure destruction that took place in Ukraine by now ( and it will stop the casualties on both sides – saving lives has no price)
    A win-win situation !!!
    Just a thought !

  26. What's Sanctions???🤣 don't kid yourself

  27. Americans, i just want you to know – we have always talked that you are stupid. Today you have once again confirmed this title.
