  1. More fighters your motherland has them buddy

  2. There has been plenty of times i have driven from state to state one state comes to mined G.A for those who know and seen under some of these overpasses i see plenty of folk living under bridges that could use just a fraction of what has been sent to other countries that could be used right here the good ol USA. I'm just sayen.🎅

  3. Not another nickel. Foreign meddling on borrowed money when you're $34 trillion in debt is INSANITY!!!

  4. Everyday news is saying Ukraine is winning and Russia is Bankrupt so what happen???

  5. In order to bake a cake you have to have all of the ingredients.

  6. I’m outraged by our government! We could give any weapon to ukraine. The amount of ammo deemed expired is ammo that could be given and would cost us nothing! Infact, it cost the u.s tax payers would pay more money to disarm them than to give and ship those weapons to ukraine!!!!! Shame, shame, shame,….and joe Biden’s …..sentiments about his catholic faith and family! Pff, im disgusted….does he really care about people…or russia taking whatever he wants….its disgusting we watch people die because u.s wants it to draw russia down and not the people of ukraines lives….all our news and papers have a idea to post…..lots of conspiracies and blah, blah, blah…..dont bother to invest in another country like ukraine….and dont let u.s citizens have a job…..

  7. Каждый хочет быть холоивуд хаус я подожду сзади чтобы уничтожить под ноль

  8. Sadly, there are some idiots in U.S still contributing for Ukraine 😂

  9. I think its really funny that after 40 years of Republicans pretending to be pro-military and Pro- defense, and trying to paint Democrats as weak. That when it comes time to REALLY defending this country, they turn out to be WUSSES like Trump. He said it ALL when he called all those fallen hero's in Arlington Cemetary, "SUCKERS"! And said " I dont get it… what was in it for THEM?". Which means that, not only was he a draft dodging punk, but he literally couldnt imagine, in his pampered little richmans brain, what a PATRIOT was or why they would die for their country! Only a SUCKER would do that! Republicans- LOL

  10. How the Media is Milking the news for Views on YouTube.

    War is already over. Russia has won. Just like how the USA toke over California from Mexico..

  11. Ukraine has lost there is no way they can defeat Russia. Poor Ukranians are used only as cannon fodder by NATO to weaken Russia which has not happened, in vice versa Russia´s military is getting more experienced and stronger and "mighty" NATO weapons burn in the steppes of Donbass.

  12. Great way of depleting our WALLETS 🤬

  13. Ukraine losing 800 troops a day – ex-NATO officer

    Kiev’s manpower is “significantly worn out” as Russia’s “strategy of attrition” is taking effect, a former German Air Force Colonel has said

  14. Protect our border before protecting the border of other country.

  15. Man…. They are not in nato…. STOP FUNDING

  16. China and Russia see the weakness point of the EU and the West but the West and EU don't see the the point that Russia and China want to win the Uklain.

    China and Russia had the biggest plan to control the largest Economy. Russia want to cobtrol the Uklain land all the way through the DNIEPER RIVER then China and Russia will build the longest railroad from China through the Dnieper river to Russia then from Russia to EU Countries.

    But right now China just waiting for Russia win and control the land of Uklain all the way through DNIEPER then China will take action.

    The West and EU never ever see the darkness plan of China and Russia. So,China and Russia know that the only one way to win all white Countries they must control more land and more countries and more Ocean on this earth.

    Because they know there will be other earth like this earth any more. China want to control the railroad fron South east Asia all the way through EU countries.

    China and Russia know that the biggest problem of the EU and the West are money. Because. China and Russia know that every single war in past EU and the West all lose because the had the money problem in thier Country.

    But China and Russia know that the more land they control then the more money they will print out because money came from the trees.

    Hopfully EU will wake up before it was to late.

  17. Zekensky could make a lot of money selling US weapons in arms deals right now

  18. Russia make mistake.and support some organizations. So the war never stop continue.

  19. I believe you are proven fake media. Your speaker talk no substance except only from his mouth.

  20. Let the. Russian frozen assets be sent to aide Ukraine!! Send the f16's. Hungary shouldn't have to be bought off!!

  21. So Ukraine had no money yet it wanted war, now the money laundering is coming to an end. I hope the next us president probes Biden

  22. Very OWN Opinion ONLY. Re : Fights for MORE AIDS. Guess (ONLY) That the st-p-d Comedian of Ukraine & His Master. Will DO Everything to make the Conflict as Long as it CAN. So that, the Millions & BILLIONS worth of. $ £. &. €. MONEY supports for the st-p-d Comedian. FROM His also St-p-d (NOT ALL) supporters will NOT stop. In favor to all those Benefiting from it by CORRUPTIONS. So very very very very SORRY JUST SAYING ONLY based on News Media REPORTS. GOOD LUCK. Ty…….

  23. 70% of the military hatdware supply to Ukraine is end up on the bkack market

  24. The democrats needs to pass a bill to deport trump supporters to fight for Ukraine.

  25. They need to surrender and survive! We need to stop wasting pur taxes on other nations wars!

  26. Mr Professor nobody was hoping for Ukraine to survive at the first place so your comment about another 50B next year not being enough is a joke 😅.
    Ukraine is already one of the best equipped armies in the Europe and they’re holding the hordes of russian animals pretty well in the limits

  27. I wonder why they they need another 500,000 when they are supposed to be winning?

  28. Not only the Ukraine side that is suffering from war fatigue. NATO countries and the US have seen a fall in public support for Zelensky and growing objection to increasing military and financial assistance to Ukraine for what also appears a corrupt ridden and lost cause.

    From the Russian side, Putin has emerged more confident than ever. In the initial days after the disorder in the Wagner forces under Prigozhin in June 2023, Western media had played up the news  that Putin had been severely, perhaps fatally, weakened. But that turned out to be Western spin. 

    This is part of the same Western and allied Asian media spin used against President Xi of China and other Third World leaders that do not toe the US line.

  29. The reason that Russia's unemployment rate is down in Russia is because a huge number of employable people left the Russia to avoid mobilization.

  30. President Biden, NATO leaders, when, in your righteous might, will you say “enough is enough?” When are you going to say to Russia “No More”? President Biden, when will you commit to helping Ukraine until they WIN this war initiated by Russia? President Biden, NATO Leaders, Russia destroyed the Kakhovka HPP, Russia is holding Europe hostage with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Russia was claiming a pirate's ownership of the Black SEA, Russia is bombing civilian populations across Ukraine nightly. Ukraine needs F-16's, A10 Thunderbolts, ATACMS, Black hawks, mine clearing equipment and more Abrams tanks.. You can support Israel in 10 minutes Israel and Hamas have been fighting for ever. Hamas is not a threat to world-wide democracy. Russia threatens the world's freedom. The USA does not, after 80 years of Russian lies, more lies, and more lies , understand that Putin will never stop lying to the world. Ukraine is in a deadlock with the Russian aggressor and not a stalemate. USA immigration issues verses support for Ukraine? This is the USA's government at it's most shameful representation of supporting world democracy and freedom. If you agree with this statement, copy and send it to your congressmen.

  31. No matter how much the clown begs, they'll still lose.

  32. So Zelenskyy and his officials lied over the summer when they said they were breaking through Russian defenses?
    The only way Ukraine has a chance is if NATO directly intervenes.
    Meanwhile instead of degrading Russia Europe and the US is being degraded 😂😂😂

  33. Please consider replying to this poll. Question #1: If Ukraine is unable to muster enough military manpower to win, should the US deploy combat forces (ground, air, and maritime) to assist in ejecting Russian forces from Ukraine? Thumbs up = YES. Thumbs down = NO.
