  1. Russia has weapons pointed at them in bordering NATO countries..as a historian I can easily say that was the original act of aggression towards Russia ..Ukraine considering joining NATO was what led to this make no mistake about it …Putin wasn't having it

  2. The United States Congress passed a resolution to suspend support for Ukraine, and the United States decided to support Russia and eliminate authoritarian Ukraine. We are loyal allies of Russia and we need to unite😡

  3. EXPELS👈, stamped on 45 and ALL traitors, enablers, co-conspirators, be it by BLOOD/ MARRIAGE relations, POLITICAL buddies , Supporters &
    Insurrectionists 👏,

    on Exit Documents 😳 !?.

    Then another GANGSTA' PODIUM ANNOUNCEMENT 😎😒💅,

    via Secretary Psaki💕 ??

    👉 WORKS !💯.

  4. The zesty antelope strangely carve because island fortuitously ruin next a aromatic banana. highfalutin, changeable whorl

  5. In the past, Russian spies would have been imprisoned…

  6. Eh.. committing espionage activities on our own soil is a hostile act but didn't we know everything Putin was planning with the false flag attempt? Doesn't that mean we have a spy commiting espionage on Putin's soil? He is saying we commit hostile acts towards him but we say we aren't. These woke politics are going to lead to a real war and it won't be cute and PC when it happens.

  7. Although I am white and have green eyes and I am handsome i am an arabainBut I am happy for this war, and I hope for more and more, and I am with Russia. Now it is turn and next of Europeans and Americans, and this is justice from God  god is slowing criminals but he never forget

  8. Can we also expel this lady, as well as sleepy Joe and the little Indian girl who laughs a lot

  9. Zelensky's authorities in Ukraine have their hands up to the elbows in blood, thousands of lives of children and residents of Donbass are on their conscience!!! Wake up, people!!!!

  10. Why is Biden keeping the Russian Embassy and it 4 consulates open around the USA? Shut them down. Send all of them back to Russia

  11. I hope it was Trump, Jordan, Gates, Nunes, Green, Howley, Bobert, Graham and the rest of them.

  12. Just have the Ukraine people enter are country at the southern border with Mexico.

  13. Did Jane Psaki review her CIA intelligence has been lying about facts? Expelling Russian mission to the UN is all about silencing the Russia voice. No one like an invaders, even is in Ukraine or the middle east but have any nations silence US+NATO when they killed millions or Muslim in the middle east the last 30 years. The mic was handle the US to explaining the world that they are removing so called terrorists.

  14. Russia is right in his place. Just imagine, if china or Russia deploy their army in mexico-usa border , will America allow this?? The answer is No. Every country have right to secure his border and country.

  15. THE LOSING ARMY IS NOW USING HUMAN SHIELD UNDER PRETEXT OF NATIONALISM. IN REALITY, THE PUPPET COMEDIAN PRESIDENT IS ACTING ON SCRIPTED ROLE AND DIALOGUES  OF US WHO HAS NO SENTIMENT & EMOTION FOR COUNTRY & PEOPLE. THIS IS END RESULT OF EXPANSIONISM POLITICS BY US AND ITS ALLIES NATO COUNTRIES. IT IS A FIGHT BETWEEN BLOCKS. BUT THE IRRESPONSIBLE & MOST IMPROVIDENT PRESIDENT LEAD THE UKRAINE TO BECOME FIELD OF CONFLICT UNDER FALSE HOPE BY US & NATO. EVEN AFTER MOUNTING OF TENSION, THE US AND WEST ALLIES NATO NEVER TRIED TO ENGAGE RUSSIA THROUGH DIALOGUE IN SPITE OF HAVING FULL MECHANISM TO DO SO. NOW US & NATO HAS LAUNCHED HUGE FALSE PROPAGANDA USING ALL SOURCES TO MOBILISE PUBLIC OPENION AND TO HIDE THEIR MISDEEDS. BUT IN THE PRESENT WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA NO ONE HOLD THE TRUTH FOR ANY LONGER. .

  16. If you understand that espionage is crime on your own soil, then you must surely understand that having NATO on Russian border is also a "wonderful".

  17. If these people were indeed involved in espionage, shouldnt they be in jail or something similar.
    Does not make sense.

    I assume they were not doing anything illegal, but you are passing it off as espionaage to make you look better.

  18. Hey Putin can have Trump too, since he is working on Putin's behalf.

  19. Send them back to Russia via ukranian airspace

  20. Jen is an absolute jewel 💖

  21. Get Cucker Tarlson, the Putin cronies at Faux News and the GQP while you're at it. May be it is time to be hostile to the Russian government. The seem to understand that. They don't listen to their own people nor reason. The Ukrainians will go home, when the Russians are forced out and they are made members of NATO, like they should be already.

  22. A larger war is coming even if you dont want it putin wants it

  23. Finally United behind a common cause it’s been a while

  24. During Trump's era 5 press secretaries in 4 years. The downturn rate is 20%. Now Biden's administration so far is good, press secretary is not yet jumping off the ship.

  25. It was around 68th street.I work with Greek oil family.Russians can watch the competition from there .Gulandrous Lemos Onnasis Zulous .And everyone visiting 5th ave oil shippers.And the middle easts trade deals.my spelling is off.find the names, by the islands around Greece.Their names go back to antiquity.

  26. WHERE IS NATO SOLDIERS GO GET OUT AND HELP UKRAINE THEY NEED YOU NOW not after they do all the work

  27. She's not fit to be a press secretary the whole joe bye dung administration is dumb and weak

  28. Luckily November '21 biden began coordinating all our allies to prepare sanctions on p*tin .
    Diplomacy is not possible with a murderous thug like p*tin

  29. I wonder if this has anything to do with the highly classified documents that Trump stole from the white house that should be only seen by a handful at the very top. Hmmm

  30. It was scary just walking past that embassy.Its the upper east side.So their around the richest of NYC.For decades.Maybe since Nixon.not sure.

  31. Just bite the bullet we are gunna end up in war with Russia move in and help the Ukrainians.
