  1. This White On White Crime Is Outta Hand 😂😂😂😅😅😅 🤡 Always Talkin That Black On Black Crime… Its China On Japanese Asian On Asian Crime…. North Korea Vs South…. Asian On Asian Crime…. Ukraine Vs Russia So Stop It… Other Than That 😆 🤣 😂 😹 Old Fart Got 👊 🤜 🤛 Thought He Was Safe… Wrong Sucka (In Happy Gilmore Voice)

  2. Russian diplomats are no different than China's, both should be treated the same, both are adversaries, so please you stupid US politicians, treat them as such … China in particular! We have all these sanctions against Russia, while China is doing everything to take us down, and it is like hands off

  3. 💩🇷🇺⚰ 👍🏻🇺🇦🌻

  4. Get what you get Russian! KEEP YOUR HANDS AND YOUR WEAPONS TO YOURSELVES!

  5. Under the circumstances, rusky is super lucky he didn't get his jaw broken.

  6. The message to Russians and the Russian leadership remains the same. Don't start wars you can not win!

  7. And that, boys and girls, is a prime example of russian will to fight. SOON to be repeated 100'000's times in Ukraine…. SLAVA UKRAINE

  8. Listen to the stupid girls laughing.. Sounds like Russian Trash.

  9. You finna catch these hands!!!!
    Apparently you don’t mess with UKRAINE OKAAAAYYYYY!!!!

  10. 😁👌 typical greedy russian. Biting off more then he can chew..

  11. Are all rusians like that? No manner at all

  12. Sorry to say….but he got what he deserved!

  13. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Take it again, take again, and see what happens! Lol!

  14. Ukrainian hero! Slava Ukraine!

  15. This shows the total disregard and disrespect Russians have hove sovereignty….may Russia fall

  16. The Russian never expected the Ukrainian to fight back

  17. That guy got off easy, a lot of Ukrainians have died for what that flag represents. I think the Ukrainian showed remarkable restraint.

  18. Biased and misleading reporting. The events started with the Ukrainians interrupting the Russian representative's speech, holding the Ukrainian and The Right Sector flags behind her and then starting the skirmish with the local security personnel. The Turkish host ordered them and the flags out. They disregarded it and later, when the same Russian representative was either photographed or interviewed, the Ukrainians again held their flag behind her. This is the point at which the Russian guy walks to them and snatches the flag. The video posted doesn't show anything that took place before the flag snatching scene. The Ukrainian acted and spoke as a thug.
    CBS reported also that "members of Ukraine's parliament hung a Ukraine flag at their table before Turkey's parliament speaker Mustafa Sentop nixed it and later condemned some of the Ukrainian delegates' "provocative and physically offensive actions."
    Whatever your views may be on this war, perverting the facts to fit the agenda is unacceptable!

  19. This incident is the perfect metaphor for the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

    Soon old man russia will silk away in embarrassment

  20. Every man deserves to protect his home and flag

  21. This Ukrainian delegate is the best I have ever seen.

  22. Another defeat for Putinstan! Слава Україні!

  23. Just like Russia steal something ….and try to run when their in problem.

  24. Politicians are reality tv stars now😂
