  1. Compared to US invasion of Iraq it's very clean

  2. ** Another Opinion *

    Sharing..It is a possibility for sure!!!!!!!!!!!! Here’s an interesting take on what’s happening in Ukraine/Russia. Like everybody else there are more questions than answers but I think this plays into Devolution.

    First think about what Ukraine is – It’s the epicenter of corruption for the political establishment. Victor Pinchuk, George Soros, Ihor Kolomoisky… All funding “deep state” agendas worldwide, all based out of Ukraine. We know their ties to the Clinton foundation and liberal politics in America.

    If Trump was going to truly drain the swamp, he would have to tackle the corruption in Ukraine. The oligarchs have funded their own militaries in previous color revolutions. Trump wouldn’t be able to take them down without a fight. So if Trump is going to clean up Ukraine he would likely need boots on the ground to do it.

    Enter Putin.

    It’s no secret that Putin hates Soros as he banned him from Russia long ago, and it’s also no secret that Putin despised the “deep state” tactics of implementing color revolutions to overthrow pro-Russian leaders and install ones that would play ball with the “deep state”. It’s speculated by many that Putin could be working with Trump in the fight against the “deep state” and it’s hard to argue with. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    So think of the brilliance that might be taking place right now.

    Boots on the ground were likely necessary to fully remove the problem in Ukraine, but Trump couldn’t invade Ukraine with US troops. Somebody else would have to do it. However, if somebody like Putin were to do it while Trump was president, it would make Trump look weak and the media would have a field day.

    What better time to clean up the mess in Ukraine than with Biden in office? Kills two birds with one invasion. You make the Biden administration and the MSM look like fools, while taking on the “deep state” in one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.

    Putin is simultaneously helping Trump to serve up red-pills while fixing a problem that actually benefits the USA and the rest of the world – the denazification of Ukraine.

    We won’t have any definitive answers until this blows over but make sure you guys are using the 24 – hour rule with news reports coming out about this stuff.

  3. PUTIN an Biden would be good friends

  4. Brother Russians, you are in a wrong war for Putin. Putin embezzled $2 trillion from poor Russians. That blood money can be used to grow Russia. Put down your rifle and surrender to Ukraine. There is no shame on doing right thing. Putin is lying to you that Ukrainian president is Nazi when he has Jewish heritage and Ukraine is developing nuclear weapons when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons because they can't maintain them and fire code is in Moscow.

  5. Ukraineagainnuclear armamentdo it

  6. Pres Putin please stop the war. Lot of people are losing their lives

  7. ITS ACTUALLY A THREAT TO PUTIN REGIME, THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE WEST INFLUENCE AND POSSIBLE MEMBERSHIP OF KAZAKHS TO NATO. PUTIN REGIME IS SO AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THEY COULD BE THROWN OUT BY THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE…

  8. Biden confirmed for worst President in US history. Trump was more competent..

  9. Not to be that guy, but, why don't we stop delaying the inevitable and just blow the world up already. Apparently we are sick of living. Every super power has nuclear weapons and dedicate nearly 60% of their budgets towards national defense. NUCLEAR WEAPONS that are capable of wiping out our existence. This world has been ripe for a new Hitler and he finally fell from the tree. This invasion is the tip of the iceberg. Its the start button of a video game war. Things will escalate. Things will turn nuclear. Oh well. Its to my understanding that the decomposition of dinosaurs is the reason why we have oil. One of these days, we are going to be the next to supply the future's oil supply, that is if humanity survives.

  10. FAKE NEWS OF CENSORSHIP

  11. Lol fascist government . When russian had murdered millions and millions of ukrainian back in the past in their dekulakization operation and holodomor

  12. If the U.S. and NATO didn't push to have their military expansion to Ukraine in the first place this will never happen. They've been warned already before many times, but they just ignored it. Look at what's happening now, innocent civilians were just the victim here.

    US and NATO's military expansion to Ukraine was a security threat to Russia that's why, it already hit Putin's nerves.

  13. where is British marines , where is US marines?

  14. ukraine online u.s.a online uk online russia coming up with anger
    ukraine online u.s.a offline uk offline flee away , and good they do that
    becouse the humilliate end is near to them

  15. MOOKY ANDERSON , is not baseballs great , and who in their right mind names their child MOOKY , unless the parents made a life insurance policy for the boy because the kid would get it every day in school with a name like MOOKY , hay MOOK where’s you’re book ? People can be so mean , by calling you’re kid MOOKY you’re just feeding the fire , a name like Jeff or David is good not MOOKY glad my parents never made a name like that for me .

  16. Putin's only fault is not making the issue of WMD and labeling Ukraine as a terrorist hotbed.

  17. When you lock in a conflict, that person have to unlock it. US and NATO sure not to unlock at the moment. Who benefit? Answer is you(US) and me(NATO). And Russia and Ukraine loss money and life. Then Ukraine president have to unlock it. When no decision from the conflict starter, Russia have to unlock it, so Putin make a decision for you all. From 1st world war experience, US choose not involve instead just watch from over sea North America happily, so do not put high hope for US will assist NATO if Russia unlock NATO. If this war drag too long where too many Russia soldiers loss , Putin may use nuclear bomb to faster end their mission, this is what US do in World War 2 drop 2 atom bomb in Japan to end it..

  18. Talking heads instead of reporters. Bill Maulden you ain’t

  19. I don't know what the point of having this news story NBC NEWS. You make it sound like you want to encourage Russia to be more ruthless and to execute more Ukrainians and do total destruction on the city. I don't think you should be telling them they failed, if you want them to destroy the city and get motivated, then keep this up. I don't think they need the encouragement to executive more objectives. This news is exactly what is different from America vs Europe. Europe wouldn't have such stupid news stories like this. Don't antagonize russia to be more ruthless to meet objectives…

  20. Uh uh uh are are are uh uh ub

  21. (95) Joe and Hunter Biden here in the U.S. are right now being paid tens of millions of dollars in corruption payments every year by the current Ukraine government. Obviously we all understand that Joe is paid far better to serve the Ukraine corrupt governemnt then what he is being paid by we U.S. taxpayers to be our President. Only those whose mind is brain dead would fail to realize that this is an obvious conflict of interest. Since the only reasonable reason then for the President Biden to be at all concerned about Russia taking over the Ukraine is because he is unwilling to take the loss of loosing all those corruption payments coming to him yearly from the Ukraine. If Biden can commit U.S. troups to battle he will, even if kills thousands of U.S. and NATO servicemen in the process Therefore if Russia would just wise up and realize that they just have to pay off Joe Biden better than the Ukranian government is now, it would then follow that Biden would care less who runs the Ukraine and would therefore forgo maintaining this war just to keep getting his corruption payments? Biden casts Russia as the enemy and yet at the same time he is buying more Russian oil. America and the world don't nead a phony war just because Biden seeks a war as a means to improve his failing poll numbers and for his and his families own personal enrichment. He had his opportunity for more war in Afganistan and ran compromising American lives and NATO, because he had no financial interest in who runs Afganistan. With Ukraine, President Biden's interests are all purely personal – corrupt self-interest – and not based upon any U.S. or NATO interest. Is Joe Biden a traitor to our nation? He is worse than a traitor. So you want to place sanctions on Russia? Fine, but at the same time place sanctions on Biden as well. If Biden wants to stop this war, enforce a no-fly zone over all of Ukraine and protect the people. Sincerely, Pastor Burt
