  1. Once a certain level has been breached, there could be no going back.

  2. JOE BIDEN IS POOTINS LAPDOG – BIDEN DOES WHATEVER HE IS TOLD !!

  3. Listen, it would very stupid for Mr.Putin to stop the war in Ukraine now… If Russia I would not communicate anything but maybe full scale nuclear war…. I don't feel we the America taxpayers needs to send anything to Ukraine the democrats and republicans elite in Washington DC started this whole mess and they need to pay for themselves.. Not with our tax money…

  4. Its nonsense while the US keeps sending weapons to Ukraine, this way, the US is to make a threat verbally to Russia

  5. โ˜๐Ÿป oh look, a criminal

  6. I wish Jake was president

  7. Simple solution:

    1. Revoke SWIFT Ban on Russia first.

    2. Release seized Russian Assets.

    3. Go for a peace talk with Russia.

  8. Itโ€™s too late – already you are paying the price ๐Ÿ˜‚

  9. I'm a Canadian historian and senator Bernie Sanders supporter and if Republican win Biden and you will be impeach and some of Biden administration will too

  10. Dems with Russia on speed dial, no surprise there.

  11. C'mon, man. All you have to do is go along with our lie about you hacking the 2016 election and we'll let you take the eastern third of Ukraine.

  12. They dont see "profit in that" to inform the public about the use of nuclear weapons. Im sure theres profit in keeping the war going on

  13. he will make a … er a … a sith….. a weak sith , but . lol a sith non the less ….HhHSssss

  14. โญโ€Š Godโ€Š Blessโ€Š Russia โญ
    Leader Of The Free World

  15. Pure hypocrisy. Stop funding Ukraine. Stop wasting money ๐Ÿ–• stop killing the economy of countries you call allies because of this war

    Democrats can't run on their failed policies so they've resorted to doomsday scenarios.

  17. decentralize political government

  18. If Russia was smart they would had invaded when Trump was President, He would had folded and kissed Putin's boot faster than a dog would.

  19. This boring mediocre boy can't get anything done. He's boring, dull and not fit for the job!! He's a kid and no one will negotiate with a kid.

  20. Putin is only interested in the actions of the guys with blue or black ties. They're the ones that dictate the foreign policy of America. The president does not matter.

  21. A Major problem for U.S. and the World is this Ukraine-Russia War!! Why isn't the U.S. taking the lead in negotiations talk with Russia? Russia sees U.S. as a world power, not Ukraine. Therefore, Putin will rather have negotiation talks with U.S. or other world power. Also, what is the U.S. & NATO doing to help Ukrainian Civilians survive the bitter Winter Months? Are they sending Emergency Generators, Thermal Blankets, Portable Gas Stoves, Water Bottles, etc?? Using only a fraction of the Billions of Dollars they are using to send Military Weapons??

  23. do they acknowledge funding the war as well with 14 months of oil purchases in the tune of 50 million $ a day

  24. I guess the democrats are trying to steal the powerball money like the election oooo.

  25. Bitcoin is the future,Investing in Bitcoin now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time youโ€™ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.โœ…

  26. He's a lion ๐Ÿฆ

  27. So, they are behind is slaughter and are pulling the strings whenever itโ€™s required.

  28. DEMAND PEACE TALKS, DEMAND PEACE AGREEMENTS. END THIS

  29. Why not just come out and say you can do whatever you want and you are always right so all of us can zuck it, lol Can you imagine if any of Trump's guys were talking to the Russians, the tsunami wave of rage from the left would be like?

  30. These past few days watching my crypto portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much. Any ideas on how to earn better on the short run?

  31. Even with war added to Benedict Brandonโ€™s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence. Whereโ€™s Jackie?

  32. Tapper is a traitor just like everyone else in this regime.

  33. After 2 years of Funky Joe… who's Jill REALLY married to? ๐ŸŽช๐Ÿคก๐ŸŽช

  34. So, this Iraq War sequel has ALWAYS been a sham. Your electoral destruction is nigh, Democrat party.

  35. We need to make this war as profitable as possible for all Warmongers in Washington. We'll need a coordinated release of propaganda,those bank accounts aren't going to fill themselves.
