  1. Translation: the US will fight to the last Ukrainian, so they don't have to, to maintain the supremacy of the dollar and petrodollar system ("International World Order"). What a tragic joke. Poor Ukrainians!

  2. Little late to declare war

  3. They cant even take care of america. What losers.

  4. So the USA has declared war on Russia?
    How about the time they funded Azov to eliminate the ethnic Russians from the west.

    USA and National Socializium, perfect together.

  5. NUKULARATE PUTLER NOW! Never ascribe any noble objective to putler wanting to protect russians. He wants the resources and wealth for him and his oligarchs. MAD = Moscow's assured destruction! We cannot allow a blitzkrieg, genocide and holocaust. putler needs to be destroyed. Get it over with now! We cannot go on using Ukrainians as pawns!

  6. No territorial concessions, Russia should be forced to give back all the territory it has taken from Ukraine by force. Otherwise, Putin will be seen to have won by aggression and it makes future acts of aggression by totalitarian states more likely.

  7. After.more than two weeks, I am starting to hate Ukraine….I really dont care, anymore….the world.is suffering because.of it….

    We don't care if the Ruble is weakened (it is not), or Putin is weakened (he is not)…or Ukraine is winning (it is not).

    We care more that the dollar is strong (it is not), and prices are stable (they are not), and gas supply is assured (it is not).

  8. Huge protests now in Germany protesting Scholz supplying arms and weapons to Ukraine….123,000,000 people petitioning to stop it…….they are waking up..!

  9. I totally agreed if we don’t help Ukrainian win this war what will Putin do next… The devastation that he already done to Ukraine cannot be ignored.

  10. No senator there cannot be any territorial concession by Ukraine to a criminal war of aggression because it compromises the Nuremberg Charter.There have only been 3 prior criminal wars of aggression in legal history and none have ended in a treaty because any treaty in this context is void as contrary to the Nuremberg Charter. As you say it is an attack on the international order but that is the international legal order not just the international political order and Russia must at the bare minimum be returned to the de facto 2014 boundaries and pay reparations to Ukraine for all loss civilian and military of property and life plus damages for profits lost due to its war of aggression and also for the cost of NATO weaponry necessary for Ukraine's right of self defense that it was forced to exercise. The universal crime of aggressive war is the ius ad bellum and draws no distinction between civilian and military losses compared to the ius in bello which contains but is not confined to the 1949 Geneva Conventions on the laws of war that deals with persons de hors combat and is part of the larger serious violations of international humanitarian law with crimes against humanity and genocide that does not extend to cover a criminal war of aggression that stands alone and only applies to international armed conflicts. The universal Nuremberg crime of aggressive war is a unique crime that stands apart and distinct from all other war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide and it is not a treaty crime but is a ius cogens preemptory norm customary law delict by the Russian state and universal Nuremberg crime by its leadership . It criminalises the war as ongoing not just how it started with no causus belli and the criminality of the Russian leadership may be aggravated by the circumstances in which young Russian soldiers were conscripted and lied to subsequently losing their lives or suffering serious injury These soldiers have no criminal responsibility under the ius ad bellum but are governed by the ius in bello and otherwise required to follow orders but it is an interesting case where those orders contain deliberate lies and deceptions that have cost the soldiers their lives. You need to get your legal structures straight to understand this sophisticated but fabulous part of the law that Putin thinks he can destroy. It is not called a criminal war of aggression for no reason and is an international entrenched delict by Russia with universal criminal responsibility falling directly on the Russian political and military leadership. Russia cannot obtain one legal blade of grass out of this criminal war of aggression and Zelensky can lie to Putin and sign anything to get Russia back to the 2014 de facto borders. This is a war in rem and cannot be ended by an in personam agreement between Ukraine and Russia that infringes on the parameters of the criminal war in rem. This war is identical to a Mongol invasion and give Putin anything compromises the law back to the Mongol invasions.

  12. the problem of current US administration is, everyone is from Senate, POTUS, VP, and all the way down, they spent whole life talking, no one ever put a IKEA furniture together. Their mindset is they approved the budget, everything will happen. The problem in Ukraine is, it destroyed all the bridges and flooded its own towns to slow down Russian. That is why US is laughing at Russia now. But, all the $50 billion weapons US sent, will be destroyed by Russian from the air when they are stuck somewhere in the road.

  13. How can Ukraine defeat Russia when the war is on Ukraine soil? Only US will win a war against Russia when the war is on Ukraine soil rather than US soil.

  14. Putin has already threatened Finland and Sweden if they join NATO

  15. "…so we will not have to send our sons and daughters into battle…" should be the most important arguments for every NATO member-countries who complain about billions dollars for Ukraine.

  16. Hahaha
    Ukraine is falling
    Russia will take all slavic nations

  17. actually you will do what it takes to get Ukraine so in debt to world banks they will be real invaders as all resources will be collateral. This is a totally planed war that could have been started anytime after 2015. Biden has been robbing Ukraine since 2014 how is that fact not obvious to everyone. Best advice we could have gave them is stay out of nato and u.n middle man Russia and Europe and become highly important country in world status. Funny how they got along good since break up of soviet union back in 1991. Wonder who encouraged Ukraine to start provoking Russia against many European countries warnings. Why endore complete destruction of country to join some outdated useless organizations witch comes with having to buy so much millatary weapons when you could have been so important no one would consider messing with you and the important position Ukraine could of had now it's over Ukraine can't win the crushing interest pretty much hand country to IMf.why for what??? feel for poor Ukrainian people they are now debt slaves. Welcome to the club.lol

  18. A win like Iraq and Afghanistan?

  19. Russia already won… Ukrainian neo naZi terrorists and their supporters should get over themselves.

  20. I'm ready to go I'll ask myself this question why is this a dumb horses hasn't always listen dumb ways to his gas all saying it's something that is the gas don't know the answer to it like they a man reader don't tell me about that meet really need some dumb questions some people just ain't got to answer understand that sir and some questions cuz you don't make sense to me at all sir and Mr Austin Ukraine is doing anybody except y'all just having a little bit they're the one doing a fighting not y'all Mr Austin got accepted a little bit you're not getting in there with them they all they don't want to be right there United States tools to give it to them like the javelin the the switchblade all of them and houses 155 for the center in the dome from Israel you didn't know everybody helping to save this country understand that who doesn't dumb questions with me when you got to answer to understand that have a nice day

  21. I almost never agree with democratic politicians, I am conservative in most of my views. However I will give credit when they are doing what i think is the right thing. I completely agree with Menendez here and say good job … Putin needs to be stopped in ukraine before this BS blows up into ww3

  22. What BS…the USA continues to buy russian oil putting billions of dollars into the Russian war machine while giving Ukraine billions of dollars in weapons on purchase loans…the USA ever the hypocrites are funding both sides of the war and letting its military contractors rake in the mega profits

  23. If you people ever knew the truth on what's going on in Ukraine you would be amazed. They have lied to us and lie to us like you would never even believe the azoff Battalion has been killing Russians in the donbas for years now they bombs City Market that's the Ukrainian days off Nazi Battalion bombing russian-speaking ukrainians in Mario pole and there are no war crimes to war crimes are being committed by the Nazi azoff Ukrainian battalion and there's plenty of reporting this that says so

  24. I doubt it, you cant even win your own war with afghanistan

  25. NBC's new partnership with Australia's 'Sky News', [Trump Lovers] which seems to be flying under the radar!!!

    https://youtu.be/Z7X-LplRcMM

  26. Why is the United States always on the wrong side of the conflict we're finding out now that the azoff the Ukrainian police are killing civilians and have been for 8 years in the done Bass. Those Mass Graves that you lied about those are lies each body was put in a grave with a coffin there are no such thing as mass Graves now we're starting to find out that the United States is more involved in this than anyone ever thought there's no reason we should be sending a dime to the Ukraine don't worry people are going to catch on soon enough what's going on over there Joe Biden's Cash Cow is going to come Crashing Down

  27. Even if USA goes bankrupt right,same mentality of our incompetent president

  28. Just words though nothin more..

  29. 50 billion dollars is just the down payment. When Ukraine "wins", be prepared to open your wallets to "help" them rebuild, Zelensky demands it.

  30. What an American hero, wont send their own troops to fight so get Ukraine to proxy war for the USA and its war monger money making machine. Truly a great nation fighting wars in other peoples countries.

  31. Russia is still carrying out one of its missions, denazification in Ukraine, the real declaration of war has not yet been echoed by Russia, hopefully the conflict in Ukraine will quickly produce an agreement, before Russia declares war on anyone deemed hostile to Russia.

  32. NATO are doing a great job supporting and helping Ukrane. If Russia win that will be a disasterous instance for the small countries. There are many small countries in the world who are scared of their safety and security due to Russias' invasion in Ukraine. One instance i.e. Taiwan.

  33. The Biden's incompetency as a leader is disturbing.

  34. Everybody is walking a fine line here it seems….Ukraine can’t win & Russia won’t lose, it cannot afford to…the closer it is to losing, the more destructive this war becomes with World implications…Any invasion is a serious crime & vastly condemned, but its ok when Other Nato countries invade others & occupy their lands to this day, but not when Russia does so, especially when Nato came too close to Russia the last 25 years…Provocation leading to war by proxies is a dangerous misadventure to say the least…

  35. Audit Ukraine ! Need some receipts on those billions.

  36. Ac dangerous crook and a supporter of terrorists – LOVES PAKISTANI TERROR FACTORIES, Wouldn't believe a word from this liar.

  37. This is not warring my friends but an assault on a free nation and plain murder on a grand scale by an assassin and his mob of killers, Ukrainians are losing their precious lives for a dangerously ill Psychopath…think about that, this is not acceptable, are we afraid of this pathetic little KGB man who so far committed thousands of war crimes possibly genocide in Ukraine with Mariupol in just 4 months and still keeps on committing the most horrific war crimes that must no longer be tolerated, the Russian people need to know what is occurring and Putin will be finished! Pepsee

  38. It's stupid for this guy to say Ukraine can win this war, The US is not giving Ukraine these weapons for free it's a loan they will have to pay back in the long run just like the UK paid its debt to the US for the ww2, Putin will definitely split Ukraine and he will make sure Ukraine will never be part of Nato but he will have the US as his neighbour Ukraine will be a colony of the US,

  39. This bloke is a right dangle berry. He talks about helping Ukraine ‘win’ but then fence sits on issues such as Russia taking control of territory. So help Ukraine win the fight, but in reality, they will still be kicked out of parts of their own house? It seems ‘winning’ has some political meaning that I don’t understand. If Russia annexes more Ukraine territory….they did not ‘win’…. in fact they have lost, as Russia achieved the result that it wanted to….even if major loses occurred and secondary objectives were not fulfilled. Russia wants to claim more territory in the Donbass, land bridge to crime….and they are achieving that. Next is Odessa, to link other controlled territories and land lock Ukraine. Why are people pretending that the Ukraine can or are winning, while their territory is being lot and will not be regained in this conflict?

  40. Don't forget the bolstering of the economy with the 30 percent increase in profits to the military industrial complex.

  41. When will Menendez urge America and NATO to fully withdraw from Iraq and pay them reparations for the death of over one million Iraqis and the destruction of their country. I know this isn't your favorite narrative but the countries that destroyed Iraq are the most vocal in their support for Ukraine. I hope my post will not be deleted by the "free press" as happened before.

  42. Its a shield for order. So were just supposed to watch him take over whatever he wants. So is Poland next? Hes a bully. United nations proxy war. United international order does not mean do what ya like. We shld have taken him out to lunch like bin ladin and be done. 😡🤬 with it.

  43. Better send your sons and lesbian daughters…asap. Hunter needs his freedom!
