  1. How is Russia supposed to trust and obey countries that are not allies of Russia , the the tsar said , Russia has only 2 allies , it's army and it's navy

  2. Why macron uses mask all the time?

  3. Your Weapons are useless, as you'll soon find out! 👀👻👽

  4. optimistic that it'll happen or optimistic that it will de escalate?

  5. Macron's arrogance and stupidity all on show here. Today Russia and Belarus are on exercise. He's the new Neville Chamberlain

  6. Haha, Putin easy fcks this goof. I like Putin so easy get what he want, nuclear weapon is so nice thing to blackmail weaklings) Putin surely get his Ukrain and Belarus!

  7. REPENT IN THE NAME OF JESUS

  8. There we go again, giving Putin too much credit. He is a bully and behaves like any other bully. So no, he will not “roll the dice militarily.” Not because of “the risk of bloods and the economic cost,” but because he does not have the nerve to pull the trigger — just like he did not have the nerve to pull the trigger when he invaded Crimea.

  9. What is happening is largely the fault of German politicians, government policy and the European commission. They are persecuting Polish democratically elected government in the European Union. Taking money and charging absurd highest penalties in history. And all because Polish government said from the beginning that NordStream2 is too dangerous investment. But on NORDSTREAM2, Germany wanted to build its power. Because they rule in the European Union, they got the law that gas is green energy. They gave up ATOM to build gas-fired power plants. Putin will try to seize and destabilize Ukraine. And he will not stop And the Germans will give him the money and technology, and they will endanger the whole of Europe because it is known that he will build armies.

    However, to do this, they must put in Poland a puppet government of their man Tusk because the foreign government does not agree to the Nord stream 2. They fight with Poland all the time as if they did not see a real threat. It seems to me that they are the smartest, but if they continue to do so, they themselves will fall victim to Putin.

    How is it related to your standards of insulting our democratically elected government and criticizing the democratic state against the background of the whole world ?

    Exceeding competences in the European Union is the order of the day.

    The European Union is an economic union and European Comission interfere with the judiciary and all other spheres outside the treaty. They want to teach us the rule of law and they break them beyond their competences.🤢 The Union is a great disappointment and there is no rule of law there. As described it by the French journalist Liberation.

  10. I guess this means that Macron is the new, "Leader of the free world." I'm glad that someone is at least attempting to fill that vacancy.

  11. Great job, on revealing the Ukrainian manufacturing capabilities to the Russians. I'm sure the Russians knew already, but still great job making it public.

  12. Chamberlain was a fool, because Hitler was ATTACKING. Macron simply doesn't ALINE with American HYSTERIA. Nato no Nato Macron respects Putin as a partner and makes small case of Biden.

  13. Macron turned out to be the only western adult in the room. The rest seems to be incompetent clowns.

  14. Macron loves russian sausage

  15. With both France and Germany understanding Russia's need for security guarantees, who is left to fight any "NATO" war? Those visits with Putin shows their support for Europe first, not US.

  16. It's a shame that our President doesn't have the balls to sit down and talk to Putin like a man.

  17. Macron in Moscow seemed just a boy humiliated by a bullish gungster… really disgusting…

  18. We are from Indonesia, Russian friends for a long time. destroy israel. You already know that Indonesia is the strongest in defending Palestine. because we are far away We ask Russia to destroy Israel. We will face the US together.

  19. Russian Military should have learned that NATO will destroy every piece of Russian Military Equipment that try to occupy territory in Ukraine like NATO did when they destroyed Iraq's Military Equipment that was used to invade Kuwait.

  20. Lauren Boebert Rips Pelosi Over US Southern Border Crisis created by Biden.

  21. Wishfull thinking on Macron's part. Putin lies. Actions speak louder than words. America is at a cross roads. Sanction Russia, let Russia's oligarchs deal with Putin.

  22. Putin statement was a little bit scarry. "If nato attack We hint the nuclear".

    His demands only ask NATO to leave the Russian border for a guarantee of Russia's security concern. If NATO leave, the problem solved..

  23. Macron is optimistic becouse Putin told him he "he will not attack France"

  24. Lord Jesus help today🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  25. Shame to the Americans, Brits and Canadians whose grandfathers fought against and gave their lives in battle with Nazi Germany, that are now supporting a country which openly celebrates, praises and glorifies WW2 Nazi war criminals such as the 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS (Galizische Nr. 1). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0nCGvRoBvkA&list=WL&index=135&t=232s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-fTj5Tp9E&t=25s

  26. Wheres kim ying yong yen in all of this? I cant help but feel north korea has a major interest and drive to be a major player in any coo against america and reclaiming territory they feel righfully belongs to them? Just seems a bit odd there are so hush hush. Puttin with out a doubt has arrangments in play with north korea and i wouldnt evan put it past putin to be in direct contact with the newly formed goverment of talibania. Theres more to this field excersise of putins then biden should be allowed to poke with a stick. This is not simply a play on ukraine no i fear not it is much more bigger then a simple putin and kremlin silly game

  27. Russians are master chess players, Putin is a master spy. Like in games they think several moves ahead not just reacting to some event.

  28. If Americans are kicked off our European continent we will see prosperity and peace immediately

  29. Der Russe rasselt doch nur mit den Säbeln, um uns/ Europa von Nordstream2 abhängig zu machen. Kurz drauf wird die Gaszufuhr gestoppt und Europa von Russland incl China angegriffen und komplett übernommen. China bereitet das seit 50 Jahren vor und hält die Zeit jetzt für gekommen. Ohne Energie sind wir dann quasi machtlos.

  30. Hungary will veto the NATO membership of Ukraine…….Game over…find another story.

  31. Come on Russia….. just invade Ukraine and make it a federal subject already……let's get over it already……….tired of these news…….long live Putin! Long live Russian Federation…..

  32. macron, who do you think u are😩

  33. https://youtu.be/1U6yUJOFHnI As a result of an artillery strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, warehouses are burning in Donetsk

  34. The US mercenary fighters joined the Ukrainian Nationalist to create a problem and attack Dunbas( which UN agreed that they can have their autonomy and the US doesn't respect), so the US gets its wish of war. This is the reality that no one wants to talk about. The US made up their mind that they don't want peace in Ukraine because of too many problems at home, also can sell arms , have more influence in Europe and can replace Russian gas with their too expensive gas. There are many liters here, however the US is the big liar as usual, remember again WMD in Iraq.

  35. This Putin is only just a Puppet of Satanist Alexandr Dugin !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Wonder what Russians think? I would be asking why is Slav set against Slav – Why are we having to weld gates on our Tanks – Who will pay for the cost of sanctions and loss of Nord2

  37. Macron just want to restart the Minsk agreement signed by russia ukrainia france germany in 2014. There is no surrender or chamberlain syndrome. NBC shows tanks etc … if the USA fears an attack , where are your 100 k soldiers , thousands tanks airrafts to counter russia in ukrainia ?

  38. NBC News is Fake News FACT

  39. In order to save French President Macron`s face, Putin pretends not to escalate Russo-Ukrainian crisis. However, Russia continues to increase its military force near the border with Ukraine. We should not be optimistic about the present situation.

  40. Putin’s daughter leaves in France 🇫🇷❤️ 🇷🇺

  41. My life has totally changed since I started with $ 8,000 and now I make $ 24,450 every 10days☺️

  42. "In my hand I have a piece of paper" Hitler called Chamberlain a fool. What does Putin think of Macron? I know what I think of him.

  43. If the U.S. really wanted peace in the region, we'd just sell Ukraine a few nukes, knowing Mutually Assured Destruction is an effective deterrent. However, there is a bigger profit to be made in global conflicts, so…
