Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to withdraw from the nuclear START treaty leaves the U.S. and Russia with “essentially no relationship.”

  1. You spell deep state wrong, they are the ones who are threatening to use nuclear weapons cuz their world is about to end. Fook the deep state.

  2. Nuclear weapons outcome wil cause depopulation of Invader..for many years if no control.

  3. All these analysts have seen the line of trees but missed the entire forest behind it. Russia was bounded by all those treaties in the last 30 years, thus NOT modernize their 6000 nuke warheads and missiles. But China has been free from that bondage to develop modern nuke delivery missiles. However, China lacks available nuke warheads. Once Russia is out of the START treaty, it can do nuke warhead business with China and N Korea, freely.
    Therefore, China and Russia will exchange modern missiles for existing old nuke warheads, each will rebuild the old nuke warheads then mount them on the modern missiles, by 2025, each can achieve 3,000 active new nuke warheads with ready to launch missiles. Putin said Russia will NOT test explode nukes, unless US/NATO do it first. What a nice cover for the real deal. 😉😎

  4. This is just funny, the title makes it seem like Russia is USSR. And that it's beginning to decline. When the truth is Russia was in a bad immediately after the collapse of USSR, and it only started to 'rise' with the coming to power by Vladimir Putin. But because it suits the narrative, now Russia is being painted as a formally great power that is only falling because of the Ukrainian conflict. Utter nonsense!

  5. Obsessed with nuclear because he’s got jack crap else Putin can’t win on the battle field like a crying baby let’s go Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦😎

  6. What a joke! China doesn't have to worry about anything with Biden in the White house. Any commander that would let the enemy get all the information they wanted from a spy balloon crossing over military sights and infrastructure. Gathering any WF signals and possible testing our military actions. Why would the branches of our federal government knowingly allow Chinese police stations in america? Why would these elite colleges be allowed except millions to promote China propaganda to break down our society?

  7. If russia use nuke I hope china move in and disarm russia. In return china can have the russian state.

  8. Looking forward to China and Russia bringing balance to the global community. The beltway US media spin show's a frazzled and corrupt US congress groping for the one ring to rule them all, kinda the same energy intensity of Benedict Donald. Being above the law is a privilege practiced by the US, carry on!

  9. China can effectively help The Russian Federation by disrupting the satellite communications of the USA. Comedian War Criminal Zelenskyy needs to resign ASAP. Shame on Netanyahu and Schumer! ✌🏿🌎✌️

  10. The poll question is too vague. I don’t support how The President has handled the war and would be part of the 50%. I believe the President has been too slow to provide a proper combined arms platform of weapons systems. We should be “all-in” with helping Ukraine defeat Putin, and run the Russian army out of that country back to the 1991 borders.

  11. Solo tiene armas nucleares en mal estado o viejas? Y que tiene o tenia Ukrania? El mayor arsenal mundial? O sea el de socios sería en todo caso o como una mafia, yo no me fiaría de nadie, ni tengo por que obedecer a borregos, faltaría más. (O sea… que solo armas? Y almas no tienen? son diferentes unas a otras? Quizá negras y blancas?) Ya lo digo, si con armas o la fuerza amenazas ( donde han dejado espacio o tiempo antes de las revueltas matanzas de carniceros del "mercado plaza" para intervenir la policía o policías la justicia militar y civil, para investigar lo que pasaba, pasa o pasará en un futuro? Si lo hay claro, o es solo una broma como siempre, una broma macabra llena de muertes por uno o dos personajes) recibiras antes que después el doble de ración por no empujar hacia atras cuando te empujan y me molestas a mi. Quizá el agresor o agresores no quisieron ponerse en medio, quizá no eran ni vecinos, solo conocidos o estaban más que dormidos hipnotizados, pero de repente despertaron! El olor a pólvora oy billetes dentro y fuera de las fabricas, con materiales robados a como mínimo a la Tierra que no es ni suya, o pagados con dinero inexistente no salido de ella, más bien de la bolsa de aire que nos rodea, de faunas varias desesperadas por escapar de escandalosos gamberros viejos y no tanto, más bien ignorantes de quienes les mandan y obedecen a unos intereses que extrañamente a nadie vienen bien, solo a esos pocos.

  12. pootan , you and girl go to the beach.don't go back to work.your coworkers would be real happy..a loooser is always looooser.

  13. Let’s hope it’s just smoke…

  14. Russia is s laughing stock of a country that could be a great nation if it were not for short itty bitty d*ck (Ludmilla's description- not mine) who has ruined it. Hey Russia, take back your country!

  15. BIDEN & USA please keep on supporting UKRAINE… This NAZI RUSSIAN is coming to destroy the USA. He has to be stop in Ukraine before he comes over here. #GloryToUkraine

  16. Those of the only country that dropped two atomic bombs on the civilian population say so. Brazen terrorists.

  17. The United States is waging an open, brazen war against Russia. It is supporting the Ukrainian Nazi-war criminals with billions of dollars in cash and heavy military equipment, with covert military personnel, with military intelligence and information, with technology and communications, with its propaganda, manipulation and censorship machinery and with its economic and political sanctions directed at the Russians and their allies. The United States does not deserve to come out unscathed in the face of such an arrogant and criminal attitude. The gringos and their europuppets are crying out for a shower of nuclear missiles to fall on their heads. They have earned them.

  18. USA putting Europe in harms way because USA wants to sell more weapons

  19. Russia’s nuclear weapons are a pretty good deterrent against the warmongers.

  20. Another war that barely makes sense smh

  21. U got thousands of homeless war vets on American streets yet u send billions to other countries!! Shame on our government!! I love my USA but all you shitbag politicians,and goes hiden are a joke!!

  22. The USA understands, sometimes enemies have to be nuked.

  23. Says a nation that used two nuclear bombs against civilians… so called #1 military in the world, got defeated by the Vietnamese, Afgani and Iraqi farmers..

  24. Yeah who cares what The People think, right. We should be called The United States of Politicians and Monopolies.

  25. Trump is going to start World War III and get all us nuked because of Ukraine.

  26. The US can't take care of its rail problems.

  27. China and Russia vs the USA oligarchy dictatorship country full of rats

  28. Russian trolls out in force lol

  29. Biden blew up Nord stream. Thanks everyone who voted for him!

  30. Screw Putin and his army of animals!

  31. POTUS can send all the money and weapons to Ukraine BUT at the end of the day Putin's going to Nuke!
    Hope not but it's looking that way ..

  32. I would say the exact same thing about the US, except our petro dollar is failing, and BRICS nations just keep getting stronger and more numerous

  33. Western Media is part of the war machine

  34. Biden is aggravating the war

  35. Biden is retiring soon. Don't get too excited about him. Time awaits for time. Be patient.

  36. dont worry biden is just waiting for putin to nuke kyiv and he will unleash armageddon usa is willing to sacrifice some cities for the sake of world peace aka eastern ukraine.

  37. Liberal lunatics for years said Trump would instigate a war, but when Biden does it it’s okay because they’re beholden to their agenda and possess no logical consistency.

  38. Yeah and they have more than anyone. So maybe we should be working to resolve peace. Or de-escalation at a minimum
