  1. It's another time to set a goal for the year, one need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success is not obtained overnight, you have to stop procrastinating and try what you have always wanted to improve in you're life and well being. Investment will take you closer to your dreams.

  2. Misuse of "super power"

  3. This Castro is a good Castro but the northern dictator, Justin Castro of Canada, that one is evil.

  4. Scantions don't stop tanks. Tell this Democrat that the wepons the Talaban got from Joe Biden would have been better served by sending them to the Ukraine.

  5. This guy is uninformed

  6. Blackwater > Biletsky > Azov Battalion

  7. It is unfortunate that ordinary Russians will have to bear the brunt of sanctions and suffer in order to reach Putin and his elite oligarch enablers. Putin must realize that if he exterminate viable successors , there will be no realistic alternatives to replace him. I believe the west and its Allies are not doing enough to counter Putin's Propaganda Campaign, at home and abroad. Negotiations to end Putin's invasion will get no where if he is allowed to propagate his ridiculous, hocus-pocus myth of de-nazifying the elected Ukraine government or to address his imaginary security concerns. Ways that Putin's invasion can be brought to a speedy halt and minimize loss of innocent lives and property are 1- If the rank and file of the Russian Army say enough is enough and mutiny and refuse to fight an unjust Putin's War. They can expect that the regime will retaliate by putting them in Jail and going after their family, but they can counter this by putting up only token resistance and surrendering to the Ukrainians, before they are killed by them in self-defense, exposing Putin's LIES 2- Ordinary Russians can take to the streets in anti- war protest as a form of peaceful passive resistance . The sheer size of their numbers will create a logistical nightmare for Police to arrest them all and 3 – the Generals and top brass must be put on notice that they will be tried for War Crimes and crimes against humanity when this is all over

  8. what a bunch of crap, you think this modern day hitler cares about these sanctions? theres only one thing you can do to cripple him and stop this war ASAP, stop buying oil from them, thats it, will they do it? absolutely not. or you do it or stop talking, he does not care one bit

  9. That’s funny, mr Castro… the right to free speech… Russians do not have the right to free speech…

  10. Its sad that these young Russian men who didn't even know they were going to fight Ukraine, are dying for a mad man behind his desk. We should give our condolences to all human loss in this unnecessary conflict.

  11. I fear a massive aerial bombardment. Putin may be running out of options.
    Remember Grozny.

  12. Turn the screws on the Russian regime. I hope the Russian people rise up and push Putin out of power, or at least create enough civil discord to the point where the upper echelon of the United Russia party get Putin to step down

  13. Open the Oil up Here….

  14. Putin is a bloody murderer and a shameless liar! Putin is waging a ruthless, bloody genocide of all residents of Ukraine. He is introducing more and more military equipment and soldiers into Ukraine to defeat Ukrainians and occupy our Homeland! Therefore, Ukraine urgently needs to receive even more stingers and Javelins to protect itself and defeat this treacherous and merciless invader! They are necessary to protect the Ukrainian people from Putin's fascist troops, so that he could not surround and seize our cities, and could not shoot their inhabitants with rockets and tanks. We wholeheartedly want to defeat him and expel his troops back! This is a wonderful weapon that allows us to successfully destroy Putin's military equipment! However, the territory of military operations is so huge that only a small amount of it goes to specific units of the Ukrainian army! We ask for an increase in the supply of weapons, as they are necessary both to protect our people and our children, and to maintain security throughout Europe! Thank you for the help you have already provided! We really appreciate you and are incredibly grateful to you!

  15. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Ukraine shall not become the Third Reich! Ukraine shall be free of NAZIS AND BANDERA-followers! Russia and Ukraine are one family! NO NAZISM IN UKRAINE!!! 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 USA go home! You're nothing to do in Ukraine! Ukraine is not the place for dirty political games of USA and NATO! USA support NAZIS and provides them with DEADLY WEAPONS! NAZIS use Stingers to kill civilians, Ukrainians and Russians, everybody. NAZIS killed civilians in Maidan in 2014 (more then 100 peopled died), BURNT ALIVE 48 people in Odessa in 2014. NAZIS murdered more then 13 000 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND) civilians in Donbas! By supporting those bastards you support NAZISM !!!

  16. If nobody wants a nuclear war, why were they made in the first place

  17. Give amnesty to Russians who surrender before you destroy their vehicles.

  18. This guy is very nieve… president of Ukraine is the only force that rallied NATO, NOT Biden…

  19. Can the US send some navy vessels to intercept the yachts heading to Maldives as well as making it difficult for them to leave the Maldives?

  20. Really liking this Castro guy!

  21. Seems to me that all those who arm Ukraine are the one's being pressured. Russia is just chilling.

  22. The only thing that will keep peace in europe is the assassination of vladimir putin
