  1. Give Ukraine a couple A10 wort get the artillery under control!

  2. Paid fighters with no skin in the game except $$$$$$$$$.That’s their motivational

  3. In the mind of another crazy person(joke). I’d call in foreign fighters to do things, unethical things, that I wouldn’t ask my own soldiers to do. Plausible deniability and so forth…

  4. From my perspective Russian strategy seems very similar to Afghanistan only differences they’re using elite forces from places like Syria and Chechnya and conscripts maby with some they’re marines and airborne involved in other operations but I think they’re trying to save as much they’re elite forces and equipment and better infantry ect for when the west gets involved

  5. It's funny how the western media will try to pass off these lies and propaganda as reality. LOL – of course there are some logistical issues any military force that big has them. hard "demoralizing" though. You must remember all the Russian troops who have so far seen action are raw green draftees off the streets. They have zero experience. Putin's shock troops are in the wings – along with Syrian mercenaries who are experts at unconventional warfare. Ukraine is screwed.

  6. If Putin brings in Syrian fighters, NATO has the right to fight for Ukraine.

  7. When has being short on anything stopped us? What kind of news is this. Dont underestimate your opponent.

  8. >> Russia reports Ukraine destroying evidence of US-funded bioweapons program

  9. Here are reports by BBC and Time magazine that may help you to understand what is happening in Ukraine.

  10. Sent in 180,000 troops in tanks that ran out of gas,from a country that supplies how much of the whole world with….gas.duhhhhhh. b.s.

  11. I totally agree with what you are saying….The fact is, BTC is the future of crypto and the questions traders ask themselves now if this is right time to invest? before jumping into conclusion i think you should take a look at things first. for the past few days the price of BTC has been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable and you cant tell if it is going bearish or bullish. while others still continue to trade without the fear of making lose, others are being patient. it all depends on the pattern with which you trade and also the source of your signals. i would say trading has been going smoothly for me, i started with 2.5 BTC and i have accumulated over 11.6 BTC in just three weeks, with the trading strategy given to me by expert trader George Russ

  12. The Russians are killing their own people! That would bring down moral.

  13. I wonder if it's a rouse right now? Is there a possibility that he's using foriegn resources because theres an asian tactic in the midst? The less he loses the better if theres a double conflict 🤷‍♂️

  14. I think we should help get all children and elderly out of the country(harms way). Also set up field hospitals and/or shelters for safety. We need responsible leadership who leads instead of following other nations lead. All our leaders seem to do is talk and mimic United Kingdom. We could be helping to minimize loss of life there. We need some responsible people in leadership positions in this nation. The next thing you know the dems will see this and
    Paski will be on TV telling how they are trying to minimize loss of life there. She has no problem copying others and talking to deceive the people. We need people of action in office.

  15. History repeating itself, look up what the Germans faced when they invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.

  16. Supplies is real the Ukrainians are hitting the fuel trucks they are trying too camo them; he cannot go far from the Russian Federation lands and keep his troops supplied and if he gets a bigger gap. I won't rule out circling around behind in belerous! Even US led NATO! Not a joke Putin isn't going to invade Europe give him and let him get his army picked off by Ukraine! Give them the fighter jets! They have skilled pilot's I do believe!

  17. Why is Russia trying to use foreign soldiers? To send them to Ukraine with one initial pay check then abandon them there. They have done that in the past.

  18. If tRump were in charge he would send US troops to help Putin.

  19. He’s jealous that Ukraine has volunteers from foreign countries. He wants some love too. This guy is just Russian Trump.

  20. Criminal Putin should never again be allowed to operate in civil society. Sanction the criminal and those who support him back to the stone age.

  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3BDJZgZESk 2014's Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? "Ukraine on Fire" by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which lead to the 2004 Orange Revolution, 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people's revolution, it was in fact a coup d'état scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America's geopolitical agenda abroad.

  22. A few days laiterrrr: “Russia running out of nuclear bombs” …????🥺

  23. LET'S GO UKRAINE !!!❤️💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏

  24. Let’s start dropping the Mr in front of the criminal’s name and start calling him what he ACTUALLY is. A war criminal/dictator.
