  1. lol us isnt going to get involved at all trying to allude to something that isnt going to happen….appeasement at all costs is the american way which has been demonstrated countless times since this began….pretty much a free for all for russia and china they have free reign to do what ever they want no consequences.

  2. All this talk about “war crimes” would have been so much more meaningful and impactful if the US of A had behaved like a moral leader and not commit war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, in years. You cannot be the moral leader if you are guilty of the same crimes, yourself. Even worst, the Russians committed these same crimes in Syria and no one complained, then. Could it be that it didn’t matter then because the victims were Syrians? Could it be that it did not matter then because they were not Christians? Could it be that it did not matter then because they were not white Europeans?

  3. = Пронацистская Украина получила из США , из Великобритании и Германии горы оружия , тысячи "Джавелинов" , сотни тонн разного вида летальных боеприпасов , но до 24 февраля 2022 года совсем – совсем немного НЕ УСПЕЛА создать ЯДЕРНОЕ оружие , не успела создать ужаснейшее для всего человечества БАКТЕРИОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ оружие , и совсем немного НЕ УСПЕЛА начать в Европе ЯДЕРНУЮ или БАКТЕРИОЛОГИЧЕСКУЮ мировую ВОЙНУ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HX-DZkodsY&t=1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw54OQmb7DA&t=8s = По факту получается , что только именно ради КРОВАВОЙ ВИДЕО КАРТИНКИ для западных ТВ-каналов , преступник В.Зеленский приказал в Мариуполе , в Буче и в других городах Украины , – как можно больше и кровавее уничтожить мирных жителей .. = Кровожадный главнокомандующий В.Зеленский приказал ВСУ и нацистам "АЗОВА" не позволять выходить из городов мирным женщинам и детям и расстреливать всех кто на свой страх и риск попытается выйти из горящего города… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHI4WVYULKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7I6FWohNa8 = ( …По данным ООН и ОБСЕ , с 2014 года по 24 февраля 2022 года кроваво-преступной украинской армией (ВСУ) ЗВЕРСКИ убито 14 000 жителей Донбасса , из которых 130 малолетних , и даже грудных детей..) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDbl9C8Xg04 https://yadocent.livejournal.com/1416159.html

  4. Putin has set the rules and controlled the game from the start for eight years. I think it's time we turned the tables and started acting instead of reacting. Time for boots on the ground.

  5. Investigate, but they are cleaning up the evidence has you speak, lol.

  6. Stop with the threats and sanctions all United state and nato need to do is move military positions around Russia that will make Putin stop

  7. A igualdade social existe no que respeita a vida em todos os níveis de capacidade de momento; a gratuidade é o único recurso capaz de respeitar a vida em todos os níveis de capacidade de momento. Quando existe a busca por poder em que o ser humano não sabe compartilhar ou perder um pouco para que todos ganhem; existem os abusos políticos as guerras e disputas que trazem desgraças e sofrimento para as pessoas. Capitalismo e socialismo são apenas variáveis dependentes da gratuidade para efeito de igualdade social e evolução humana; essas são condições firmamentais e científicas. Eu recomendo acreditar e seguir os ensinamentos de Jesus Cristo…

  8. No planes no anti air equipment from the president

  9. Is this guy advocating for more death in the world then more debt to the US?

  10. Stop saying "alleged" for f…k sake

  11. New President might call putins bluff on nukes and get involved

  12. General Twitty is my former commander, nice seeing him on tv.

  13. The U.S. is the only nation to use nuclear weaponry against a civilian population, not even the CCCP, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, etc. have done the same. Even Europeans have a long-history of ethnic cleansing, crusades, etc.

  14. Just the same thing how are we going protect the Russian people

  15. USA continuesly trying to manipulates people's minds and trying to get a fake reason to get involved directly in this war… Lmao….🤣🤣
    Now let's see how many bumb people's support comes through 😆😆😂😂

  16. Why does this dude sound like Cleveland?

  17. When is this Government going to understand that 'sanctions' DO NOT work against 'WAR LORDS"! Do we not think that this Monster didn't start stuffing a huge amount of cash away just for this eventuality?? The 'Children' he sent into Ukraine at the outset were as his own troops described as "Cannon fodder"!!! He's killing his own boys to find out the strength and resolve of the Ukrainian Military and People!

  18. With all due respect stop the offensive / defensive rhetoric any weapon can be used offensively.

  19. The Ukraine president's told the civilians to fight and take up arms

  20. Sanctions are what you do before war crimes are committed. Give them tanks, attack helicopters, and jets, & dare Russia to act.

  21. Biden is a weak criminal and a disgrace to our country. He is a fool with followers who are more foolish.
