  1. This story is much like the story of David and Goliath, the sling becomes the stinger…no one expected Ukraine to be this amazing as "David" and no one expected Goliath to be such a complete failure….everyone just wants Russia the hell out of Ukraine…even though they have been launching Missiles from within the Russian State…

  2. It’s just odd that Russia military has lost thousands, Ukraine military has lost none, but yet there are thousands of dead civilians citizens. That’s a bit sinister.

  3. I was born in 1941 the year of the Pearl Harbor attack. I learned abacus in grade school in Tokyo. That helped me a lot. I had a job at Bechtel San Francisco. I was a gofer for the key punchers, pushing a cart. My boss saw I was calculating the needs of punch cards by abacus. He transferred me to the accounting department. Paycheck got bigger. I think Putin doesn't know how to calculate numbers. He depends on accountants.

  4. I can not respect any Republicans who a** kissed trump. Americans are not stupid. We know & remember how you said nothing against Russia because Trump Loves Putin. You didn't give a crap that trump got his money from Russia. But Now you want to Look Strong Against Putin. Rediculious just Rediculious Mister.

  5. WHEN DICTATORS DON'T GET THEIR WAYS THEY TAKE IT OUT ON THE CLOSEST PEOPLE THEY CAN AND BLAME THEM. I CAN SEE ANOTHER STALIN LIKE PURGE OF GENERALS IN PUTIN'S ARMY AND EVERY WAR CRIME KNOWN AND UNKNOWN HIM ENACTING.

  6. 100 Ukrainian soldiers surrendering to Russians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRzkz8a1USM

    60 Ukrainian soldiers near Kyiv surrendered to Russian, provided food https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_5wxDhHUYU Azov Neo Nazi local commander caught by Russians who saved him from being lynched by local civilians. ❗

  7. Love is the answer to this world madness. Because hatred doesn't have a place where there's love.Therefore we must be convinced that we love one another at the end of the day, so it doesn't destroyed our relationships with God. Furthermore a perfect harmony can cast all insanity, fear and divisions among brothers and sisters when it's based on trust.

  8. It's win or die for Ukraine. They will never surrender or accept anything less than they deserve.

  9. Guys say it with me uraaaaa uraaaa uraaaaa Russia numba one uraaaa

  10. 1 BOUNTY, 1 PUTIN, 1 BUNKER, SEAL THE EXITS. Fight the Boss NOT the Employees .

    Poland is the land of Auschwitz Birkenau and Krakow Plaszow extermination camps but yet it helps Ukraine.

    End this boring pinky war! Europe's love of killing and racism displays a 'stupidity gene' within European DNA.

    American media are using Ketanji and Ukraine as a distraction from it's 1,003,256 Covid deaths pandemic mismanagement!

  11. Protest outside Oil company executive's houses and treat them and their family members as if they were US vote officials .

    Photos of Russian oligarchs and their yachts are shown in the media. Where are the photos of American oil executives ?

    $US1.7 Trillion was spent on the multi-failed F-35 fighter jets. That is enough to house ALL the US homeless 29 times over.

    Last year a F-35 jet crashed due to failure. This year a F-35 jet crashed into the South China sea while trying to land on a big carrier.

  12. DIE AIRFORCE ONE UND BIDEN WERDEN NACH POLEN BEKANNTSCHAFT MIT EINER RUSSISCHEN HYPERSCHALLRAKETE MACHEN👌. SLAVA RUSSIA 🇷🇺🇷🇺❤🙏❤🇷🇺🇷🇺

  13. This Is all crap and rubbish Putin is a very Intelligent man and he is not to be missed with. Nuke war is coming. Blame USA and UK.

    Now the West want to get to Russia to get to China
    ……we seen it here folks…the start to nuke war.

  14. It's just a start. Putin wants to hit USA badly waiting for NATO to come into ukraine. His masterplan gonna blow the West.

  15. Maybe Joe should extort Ukraine… Or maybe incite an insurrection or seize some voting machines…. Oh wait.. Nm…

  16. Biden is Compromised by Hunters Illegal Business Dealings in Ukraine and Russia. So he tied his own Hands by being Party to Hunter's Money Machine.

  17. Ukraine explodes, 1o millions on the run. No chance to come back. Ukraine is already totally finished. And Putin willl crash western economy. No Peace talks , its over.
    Old war criminal is USA I Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan and many more. USA will only understand when they are nuked by hypersonic. USA is dead noe. all is over and the world will have peace forever ! Today US still tortures, rapes and murders in Guantanamo and Poland. USA never was a democracy, its an oligarchy run by rich people, the citizens live in millions in tents ,trailer parks and ghetto ! they already prepare a revolution it seems when you see USA streets with rallies against the regime, riots , damaging government buildings. The people of USA, poor whites , they call trash, all the blacks and Latinos who are always discriminated in their Ghettos. In no country I have seen so many homeless people in any town or village ! Shame on USA !

  18. Putin didn't think Ukraine would shoot back. Putin also underestimates NATO capabilities and that is very bad for Russia and it's people.

  19. Why not let them in Nato. They have proven themselves

  20. Hey, Putin, the people of this World want Love and Peace in the World, not Destruction and Killings.

  22. Despite all what you report,

    The Land of Romans presently EU has been seen as a huge wasteland by more than 300 Psychics of last 10 centuries including Naimatullah Shah Wali, Baba Wonga and Nostradamus. Do not live in fool paradise. It is happening now. Let me share the quarantine of Nostradamus and others about it and find that person he was talking about.
    "In the year 1999 and seven months,
    From the sky will come The Great King of terror,
    Who will bring to life the Great King of Mongols,
    Reigns happily before and after the war."

    Baba Wonga, " The golrious Putin will turn Europe into a huge wasteland and will rule happily later".
    Remember Baba Wonga was Bulgarian.

    Naimatullah Shah Wali in 11th century wrote, " The non muslim King of Gharbastan ( The Part of Asia extended deep in west) will destroy the land of Romans and help poor nations to rise to rule the world. "
    Believe me or not.

  23. ‼️ it doesn't show the media. Look the whole truth about the war in Ukraine https://youtu.be/yLi5HH_6bXs

  24. Republicans have supported Putin for a long time, especially under Trump. I could not care less what this guest has to say.

  25. BIDEN DIDN'T WIN!!!!!!!! TRUMP WOULD HAVE NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!! TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT!!!! PUTIN IS MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!!! MILLION HOMELESS STARVING!!!!

  26. The American media & voters 'significantly underestimated' Diaper Joe's ability to screw the pooch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84aQmAd0pQc The commander in chief on live TV.

  27. So Putin sent troops into Ukraine and is destroying their land but he underestimated Ukraine? Riiiiight! The propaganda in USA is amazing. How about Ukraine is not sending any troops into Russia b/c they know it would be deadly. The only person to underestimate Russia is the idiot Brittany Griner! Nobody is falling for this. Is there social distancing in war?? Yeah we didnt think so.

  28. Biden succeed his mandate from weapon defense companies now. The order of these companies r sky rocket now. Good job Brandon!!!​

  29. ABC News go out on a limb for this one.

  30. Just want to say: All comment sections of our beloved german news reel sections are blocked. Like in russia.

  31. Trump and Putin played with fake power.🤣

  32. Ukraine should go and get a huge piece of Russia… why not?

  33. CHARGED WITH CRIMES.
              Russia is a key member of the UN,
              We demand that she obey the orders of this organization
              who ordered an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal from occupied Ukraine
              Order of the International Court of Justice of 16/03/2022
              This war is completely illegal and inhumane.
              He already has too much damage, too many innocent victims.
              Without any reason, she attacked, bombed an independent country.
              All these massacres and all these atrocities must stop.  Russia has committed a real genocide according to the laws and under the eyes of the whole world.
              Ukrainians have the right to live in peace like all of us.
              The Russian people are a respectable people
              but its leaders are real war criminals.
              They accept a heavy sentence.
              And in particular life imprisonment for Vladimir Putin, whose indictment inevitably takes place every day before our eyes.

              This text is consistent with justice pronounced, truth lived and witnessed.
              It will be transmitted to all the media, to all the governments, to all the NGOs and will be published everywhere,
              He wants to remove the fact that we are and remain peace-loving human beings, not wild animals living in the jungle.
