  1. Empty words, but he gets A+ for throwing a party for himself, to celebrate the murder of thousands of his own people. That’s exactly what Fascists do when things are going badly. You will feel feigned “Glory” for a little while, because that of course is more important than the lives of your people. And all of this for your fragile, weak ego Ego. All of the mayhem and murders just to polish your ego. Did Hannity and Tucker show up to perform and kiss up! After all they love you and dispose their own country. Did Tucker bring you a crotch tanner and some Frozen TV dinners? He is very rich, but never finished College. But he and Hannity are just political entertainment theater anyway. But you make them feel important, I get that, do you have their Kompromat yet? Bet you do! That’s Trumps favorite game too. Imagine what a great country Russia could be with a democracy in place. But you would rather be feared than respected. Sad. Things didn’t have to be this way.

  2. War is coming to russia be prepare!

  7. Jamaica has initiated a referendum to make Kaliningrad one of it's islands. It will be renamed New Kingstown. Please vote below.

  8. typical one sided American crap

  9. Why did such a strong America not inflict a Tactical Nuclear Strike on the Sabbath of the Kremlin Cannibals in Moscow? The war would have ended immediately! They are all up to their necks in the blood of Ukrainians, Syrians, Georgians….
    Does anyone want to stop this bloody and unfair Russian-Ukrainian War altogether, in which small agricultural Ukraine repels the blows of the Great Mordor?
    Why don't you supply Ukraine with long-range missile systems with a range of 800-1000 km, while the Russian Federation is shelling Ukrainian cities with long-range Iskanders, like in Tire?

  10. America and the West Long live the Russians

  11. Corporate propaganda is strong in this video.

  12. Why report this if nobody gona do anything about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  13. It's not illegal if the people voted for it.

  14. Illegal according to who?

  15. An old revolver and a single bullet will sure stop all this Madness.

  16. Russia's Invasion and Annexation are not legal even by Russian standards and definitely not by anyone else's standards. Let's start with the de-nuclearization of Ukraine.

    The Budapest Memorandum was an agreement signed in 1994 that provided assurances to Ukraine if it agreed to give up its nuclear weapons. The security agreement had the following assurances:

    [1] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine

    [2] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine

    [3] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.

    This was signed by Sergey Lavrov, Representative of The Russian Federation and Boris Yeltsin of the Russian Federation. Apparently, The Russian Federation and Sergey Lavrov do not keep promises. The United States of America does keep its promises and will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine.

  17. LETS GOO PUTIN 💪🏾💪🏾🇷🇺
