Thank you, Paul, for your support of Ukraine. But thanks to everyone who helps us. Ukrainians will never forget this. Ukraine will definitely win.
Paul sounds like a woman LOL
Thank you for paying the highest price for all of us. Love and support from Denmark. Slava Ukraini!💙💛
Paul, from all of us ukrainians, THANK YOU! You have this clarity of vision that most of the West lacks. Preach it, brother! 😍
That is just so true, thank you Paul to remind us that facts. As a european member I can really thank Ukraine 💙💛
Thank you Paul for you position! We in Ukraine really glad to have such friend as you!
This is so valuable for everyone to imagine the alternative nightmare
Oh, I so appreciate the danger- my family in Poland were on the phone with me in Feb. sounding so scared I can't describe it. I was in shock hearing the narrative here in the US how it's just a matter of days ....how willing the west was to just give putin what he wanted. It still shocks me how easy they were making it for this dictator.
True.
Thank you for saying this out loud as a Westerner.
Love from Kyiv.
Scary but true. I have a new appreciation for Ukraine's spirit! Thanks Ukraine!
Paul is an extraordinary politician, great video as usual 🫶
Brilliant! Yes, indeed, Ukraine saved the world! World has to save the Ukraine 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Totally agree. You are so on the mark. Glad I’m not the only one who thought Ukraine would seal our future. One way or another. Never thought Russia was that powerful. Just a bully.

Hey! 💪🏼🔥⚔️ 💛💙 fellow Tucsonan 🌵.
See your new video - automatically press like 👍
Thank you for your support, Paul. Good friend of Ukraine.
Thank you for bringing up this question, Paul. It is scary, terrifying, to consider the repercussions...all we would have lost at that point and all the more that would have been at risk. We should never forget the lesson Ukraine has taught us and not repeat the mistakes that brought us to that mentality.
Amazing! Such clear, critical yet absolutely fair thoughts, put into words that literally anyone can understand. You have a talent to carry the truth to the masses who are often misinformed, blind and/or ignorant about what is really going on, who don't know what is a good way to deal with the dangers and calls of those extremely difficult and dangerous times we are currently living through.
Please keep your amazing work of talking with and to people, in order to help them shake off the idea, that if you simply put your head in the sand or just literally give away everything that a villain wants, that will bring no good to anyone, because the good and the justice needs to be strong and to be able to protect itself. It was like this for thousands of years and it will never change.
Great commentary. It seems inconceivable now that they wouldn't fight for their country; many people, including putin, were deluded in this regard. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Paul, thank you for supporting Ukraine ! 💙💛
Thanks for your analysis. Never thought about it that way, but I'm an American who was absolutely appalled we were going to stand back and let this happen. (I'm still unhappy about abandoning Ukraine in 2014). It was a nightmare to witness, and a bigger nightmare to let it happen. I called my lawmakers daily, even 2x. I thought our country had lost its very soul of humanity. I realized people were upset about previous military engagements, but to allow this... it felt the like start of WWII, with countries sacrificing other countries for a peace that never could or would happen. And, "Never Again" rang hollow in my heart. We'd learned little from such recent history, and even less about authoritarianism, or the people who rule in that vein. Or how what seems small and "containable" so quickly can spiral into worldwide horror.
I feel Ukraine has saved us in so many ways, what you mentioned, but also the bigger identity of who we are as a people, what our values are, what indeed is civilization, do we mean all that talk about democracy or not, what is right and wrong, how we'll go down in history, what kind of world will we leave our children, and what was our place in it. I couldn't stop thinking about our own country's origin, and how desperately we needed support from France. Ukraine brought us a sense of unity in the world, working together for a common goal that's bigger than ourselves, how much more powerful are nations united than divided, that we don't have to sit back and let history happen, but can be a part of it - for better or for worse. That bad past experiences don't have to define future responses. Yes, I wish we'd do more, faster, but when I think about the alternative... and there's much in your talk I'd not considered. I enjoy your channel very much. May Ukraine find victory! 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Germany has no clue what is at stake, while feeding the proverbial croc
The Greens know.
You are right! And every Western has to be grateful Ukrainians know exactly what is on stage. They know better than we do. So please listen to them!
Hadn't fought?
Scary thought.
Thank you Paul for your work. As usual it’s highly informative and make me think about all this horrifying reality and possible consequences.
Succinct! Thank you so much for supporting Ukraine from the get-go! 💙💛
🙏🕊🌻🔱 Excellent Point. Tolerance Over! Ukraine is Strong! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! The World Stays Committed! Georgia Needs Help! 🔱🌻🕊🙏
Absolutely on the money Paul! You deserve great credit for saying this loud and clear. Best wishes from UK.
Love your work Paul, thanks for being a champion for Ukraine!
Thank You for supporting Ukraine!
🇺🇲🤝🇺🇦
Agree. They showed us what we are and should aspire to be
Your vision of things is so valuable, Paul! I believe you have a great future as a politician
Absolutely agree! Well spoken Paul
Paul, thank you for your supporting Ukraine! Thanks everyone who helps Ukraine!
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future… Galadriel to Zelensky… uh I mean Frodo.
And don’t forget that Taiwan produces most of the high level chips in the world…
Thanks, Paul, for a great post. Extremely scary. I am very concerned by the somnambulism of the West. We need to listen to the Baltic states and Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦 ♥️
Paul, respect for your everyday work !
Great explainer! It's a pleasure to listen to you. Rational arguments, as always.
Thank you for your influence again❤
Paul, thank you for this words:
' thanks God for the ukrainians ' 😉
We need to give Ukraine F-16. They need it!
Completely agree!
Paul, thank you!❤👍
I didn't even know you had a channel. Quickest follow I've ever made!
Thank you Paul! Love that you post so often☺️
you nailed it
Thank god for Paul Massaro, he really gets it, and yes we see russia VERY clearly .
I'm entirely with you. We can double our spending and it won't come close to the future costs had we done nothing.
Thank you sir. Appreciate your support so much!
This is absolutely true!, governments need to realise this. Great video!
Thanks, Paul. This needs to be repeated daily - where everyone can hear. You're a good fella!
Totally agree!
Well said!
If Ukraine hadn’t fought we would all be in a major turd sandwich right now.
Absolutely correct analysis!
Thank you Paul.
Short, not "sweet", and razor-sharp!
Thnak you Paul. This is so true. Unfortunately here in Germany there are still too many people not being aware of this. To me this is the fault of thhe German government and especially Olaf Scholz, who is not informing the people properly. This man is a shame as a chancellor.
Keep up your great work.
Slava ukraini!
I can only agree. Unfortunately, the war is still going on and it will only intensify in the upcoming spring. Ukraine needs your support as well as you need free Ukraine. Thanks for what you do and all the support from our friends in the west! Glory to the heroes of Ukraine!
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Thank you, Paul, your videos cheer me up. Especially, after learning that Trump said the war would end in one day if he was the president. He doesn't go into details on how he would do it but based on his previous remarks about Putin being a genius to take over a country and on what his children are posting about Ukraine, his strategy would have been to blackmail Ukraine into giving up the territories or independence. He either doesn't understand the implications, or he wants the US to go to war with China (because there is no way the US letting Taiwan's technologies end up in China imho). I don't know which of these options is better... Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Hear, hear!
During watching video I get 2 benefits: information and improving listening skills 😉
This is so spot on Paul
Thanks, Marv. Check you Twitter DMs :)
So true
Yes!
Thank you for being realistic and objective in every one of your videos, you are bringing us hope in the new generation of US politicians.
Ukraine is saving the world , 100%
Thanks 👏👏💙💛🇺🇸
Me, travelling in time, in 2030: pls tell me that Paul is elected to the Congress
Random guy: no he is not
Me: *noises of upset man*
Random guy: Paul is POTUS now
Me: *chaotic movements of the happiest in the world guy*
Base from Massarenko about foreign policy 🙂
Thank you Paul. I think all of those who are afraid of World War III should listen to this. It is important to rationally think things through and not look at it through the prism of fear, but to look at it realistically from the Russian perspective, there is so little to gain for Russia, and so much to lose. Nuclear war or attacking NATO makes absolutely zero sense. It is a lose lose for them.
💯
I don't think I've heard a CZcamsr say anything I agree with so much. This is exactly how I have felt for over a year now.
It's a very good point Paul. Also, I thought recently about what would happen if Maidan was defeated and Ukraine was annexed, just like Belarus
Before the war in Ukraine, I did not regard Russia as some kind of potential global power for this century, but I was extremely pessimistic and believed that an era of Chinese global dominance is already upon us. My only hope for any challenge to Chinese global power was the hope of a rising Africa being able to challenge it sometime toward the end of this century. Yes, I did think things were THAT bad. The war in Ukraine was a slap in the face to the West which reawakened it, which in turn gave me plenty of hope that we might not need to wait for the end of this century for Africa's rise to challenge China's power. While I still believe that Africa's rise is inevitable in the long run, if it's going to compete with anyone next century, it probably still going to be North America, and not any China, which itself will likely not endure as a global power into the next century due to a myriad of its own domestic issues.
Great video.
Why do you think that Western foreign policy experts don't view things this way? I.e. from the point of view of Russia is the one who should be scared.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Paul, would you be able to address the arguments the former President is advancing to “de-escalate” the war in Ukraine and blame the problems on the current President? He will be motivating people to demand less aid to Ukraine and I would like to know your own thoughts specifically on what he is saying. Because he is not going to stop saying it. He’ll repeat it over and over and it will be heard by his supporters and authoritarians the world over.
Sound assessment as usual.
When attacked by a bully you have two choices, stand and fight, or kiss their butt. The former gives you a chance, the later makes you a slave.
🇺🇦🫂🇺🇸
This video is peek delusional proper gander thanks for the lols
I think everyone understood when they saw Ukrainian citizens dashing lit molotov cocktails against Russian tanks.
We need an Eisenhower to advise ukraine. I just dont think Miley believes in beating Russia out of Ukraine and sending them home. He keeps talking about negotiations and Putin keeps lying like a rug.
Huge thanks to the US and European friends for supporting Ukraine! Without the "West," Ukraine couldn't hold 100%. We are in this together ✊
100%
Paul for President!
Moldova would've been day 5, the West still hasn't truly grasped what's going on, what will be required of them, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Thank you, i agree with you.
The situation was gonna be much worse because if russian plan to occupy Ukraine was completed, they'll receive some plants that were critical for their military capabilities (Motor Sich, Yuzmash, etc) and also the huge pool of able soldiers, as they did in so called DNR/LNR. Russia with Ukraine was gonna be 5 times more rabid and able to destroy the west.
Thank you for this video Paul. I hope western leaders will provide us all the required tools to defeat Russia. Cause it's weird that after Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons for the security guarantees(Budapest menorandum) to hear that providing fighter jets and long-range missiles is an escalation.
My direct question to you Paul:
Weren’t we more invested in Taiwan then Ukraine anyway? So wouldn’t it have still been a highly risky move for China to invade regardless of what happened to Ukraine?
!!!!!!!!!
Why can't we do even more?
We should
Ukraine is directly defending the whole of Europe. As an EU citizen it is heartbreaking that we are not helping Ukraine more. We owe Ukraine so much. It would have been a disaster for the whole of Europe if Ukraine had fallen. But Ukraine fought, and is still fighting, for themselves and for the rest of us. And yet we are still squabbling over whether we should give Ukraine fighter jets or not. Some European leaders should be ashamed. Glory to Ukraine. 💛💙
Nearly capitulated but didn't. And at the end of the day, the west reacted in a way that only the west ever would. Just look at how many ex military dropped what they were doing and immediately traveled to Ukraine to fight. A country that most of them probably knew nothing about before Feb 24th. Those volunteers are heros and probably made the difference that tipped the scales in Ukraine's favour.
Hi Paul, loved your video! Would it be possible for you to make a video discussing russian interference in the 2016 election? Maybe somehow have Prof. Timothy Snyder come on the channel?
So tired of that. It has been covered enough. We get it.
@@garyklimitchek45 I don't think its been covered enough, especially since the former FBI counterintelligence officer for NY office was arrested recently with ties to Russian oligarchs. Trump is still allowed to run for president so it's still very much relevant. Ask Prof. Snyder and he'll tell you the same thing.
@@garyklimitchek45 but hey your opinion is your opinion so
The US did its biggest investigation ever by people who hated Trump with a passion yet they came up with absolutely nothing of value. It's over. It didn't happen.
@@fdk7014 it absolutely did happen. Look up the Internet Research Agency which is tied to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a man who literally admitted to interfering with Western democracies. Look into former FBI intelligence officer Charles McGonigal and his ties to russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska (who also had ties to Paul Manafort). McGonigal was put in charge of investigating trump/russia relations in 2016 but guess what? Turns out he's a russian asset too who was just recently arrested for that.

Powerful video, thanks 🙏

1:55 - I mean, Germany's side would deny the presented accusation of Melnyk regardless if it were true or not, but then the accusation in question coming from a far right.wing Bandera-praiser and denier of his responsibility and praise for Wolyn ethnic cleanse massacres and Lviv pogrom of the Jews, and therefore a Holocaust denier, as much as his denial of well documented historical events is not an evidence of him always lying, puts his general credibility in question. Also the fact that the aforementioned sentiment expressed by the German finance minister Christian Lindner sounds like very much the kind of thing he would say, considering his greed, cynicism and complete disdain to the elementary social fairness is not a definite evidence of him saying the above. But I would definitely not rule out he would say it, especially if he had believed nobody is recording him.
In the end it's "he said, she said", with two serf-serving, despicable characters who are the worst people for the posts they occupy, throwing mud at each other and providing no evidence to anything they accuse the other of saying, while harming the cause and the people they are supposed to be serving and representing.
What a tool this guy is. All ppl commenting about how great this content is are really just simple folks.
