- CNN's Fred Pleitgen interviewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who said Ukraine could lose the war if the United States Congress does not approve military aid to help it resist Russia's invasion. #CNN #News
"We have to start WW III with Russia to avoid WW III with Russia."
Sounds a lot like Bush's "We have to fight Iraq over there or we'll fight Iraq here." nonsense.
No, we have to show strength to dictator by supporting the Ukraine so that ends his dreams of expanding his invasion of Europe beyond the boarders of the Ukraine. Appeasement never worked with Hitler it won't work with Putin. If Putin takes over the Ukraine then decides to attack Poland because he thinks NATO is weak that is when will all be in serious trouble. While Putin is bogged down in a proxy war in the Ukraine or if he loses that proxy war the chances of WW3 are much diminished. Its when he wins in the Ukraine that we are all in trouble but obviously you are too dim to learn the lessons of history.
Ikr how idiotic is Zalensky ..is already started war!!!😂😂
Looks like in the minds of brainwashed Russians, they already lost WW3 (Cold War), lost their beloved empire USSR, and now started WW4 trying to resurrect it.
When a comedian becomes a President
The same if "we dont fight communism in Vietnam we will fight it here". Just a sale pitch. Remind me of Achilles "imagine kings who fight their own battles." That would stop all the wars.
Zelensky was ready for a deal, but US said no we are winning with sanctions 😂😂
and especially Boris Johnson!
USA ego is bigger than asteroids. they will admit defeat or losing
I do agree we messed it all up we should’ve stayed the hell out of it but of course we want to start shit with Russia as always 🙄
@@corycg9624long term the capture of Ukraine would have been a issue for the us and Europe
@@bacon9646It is going to become an issue soon anyways, I don't understand why some people genuinely think that Russia would give up or lose on Ukraine - the only way that at least *could* actually happen is if NATO countries directly enter the conflict militarily, which they definitely aren't planning to anyways
If 100 billion + did nothing, what will 60 billion do???
It didn't "do nothing" just because it didn't do everything you hoped. We didn't go from Normandy to Berlin without losing a very large number of soldiers and tanks. No one was asking then how much it would cost in $s. Ukraine still stands and has a very strong defensive line. It's always the finance pansies that chicken out 1st.
😂😂😂😂😂, those are democrats brains for you
Can a white house come and answer this question
It’s buy a few mansions for Zelensky hahah this hohol steel a lot money
Ukraine is still losing despite all that aid. Zelenskyy sucks as a leader, he’s just putting the money in his bank account and everyone knows it. For all we know he’s working with Putin to scam the us

Ukraine’s top negotiator, Davyd Arakhamia: Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.”
But the US and UK stood in the way.
Exactly us trying to get Ukraine to join NATO was naturally going to backfire on us Ukraine should’ve been left to just being independent
One U.S. congressman said that our border is the Ukraine border. The United States is on another continent. The U.S. is an Empire of lies and misinformation. This has become more obvious with U.S. dominated social media companies. German is a U.S. colony...

The Ukraine war is a scam. Everyone wants to profit off the US now
Yeah that's right
Do you think the war in Ukraine is an isolate thing? Do you think if Putin takes all of Ukraine, that will be the end of that. It's time for a reality check, young man: If Putin takes Ukraine, he will use Ukraine's resources and people to rebuild an even larger military machine. Then he'll talk Moldova and the Baltic countries, creating a land bridge between Belarus and the Kaliningrad Oblast, as well as a land bridge to Kaliningrad via Latvia and Lithuania. He'll seize the ice-free ports of Ventspils and Liepāja, after which he'll take the Swedish island of Gotland (known as the 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' of the Baltic Sea and the Åland Islands. He'll take full control of the Baltic Sea. From there, he'll attack Denmark to seize control of the Danish straits that connect the Baltic to the North Sea and move onward to attacking the UK.
With time, Europe will collapse and he'll have everything he wants in Europe.
DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HAVE NO CONSEQUENCE FOR YOU IN THE UNITED STATES? If you think that, then you have a little more reading to do. The EU is one of your biggest customers and biggest suppliers, too. It's also the place that gives your forces access to the Middle East and it's the place your injuried soldiers are taken to for hospitalization.
Do you want to live in a world were United States merchant vessels can't move through the Atlantic because Putin has tactical nuclear weapons station in Portugal?
Don't kid yourself it can't happen. It would be cheaper for the United States to help solve this problem NOW rather than try to solve the problem when Putin is routinely rocketing New York City, Boston, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami and - frankly - couldn't give a shit if you reply with strategic strikes on Portugal.
He knows Trump is a weak man and he knows Trump wouldn't never respond by attack Moscow. Once you have your Trumpist government, you may as well start pinning up photos of Putin in the White House. That's what your country will become.

I'm sad to say that I think most people here in Europe and North-America (the "West") have just given up on Africa. Since independence from the harsh colonial rule, there's been almost non-stop war and suffering on the whole African continent. Even the end of apartheid only made things worse in South Africa and Rhodesia. Other nations in Africa have taken away the land of all white people and Indians, only to make the land rot away and the knowledge used to keep it valuable to vanish. I don't write these things with any bad intentions, but I think Africa needs revolution from the bottom and up, having solutions for Africa, made by Africans in an African method, for the good of Africa. The Western world I'm sure make many things only worse, and there's a constant "brain-drain" where well educated people turn their back to their people in Africa, and so with their actions clearly have the same feeling of no hope for their ancestral land and brethren.
At least by keeping the front line in the Ukraine, against the ravaging and madness of the Russians, we help keep alive unknown numbers of people in Africa as well, and staying a safe haven for those in need of somewhere safe to flee when all law and order fall down elsewhere. It's a historical fact, that when the whole of Europe becomes enveloped in war, then soon the rest of the world start burning as well. The black soil earth of Ukraine and in large parts of USA, is keeping alive billions of people, allowing bread and life instead of famine and war, like the famines in Ethiopia in the 80's and the genocide in Rwanda in the early 90's.
I recommend reading "King Leopold's Ghost - A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa" by Adam Hochschild, if you want to understand the roots of how deeply the problems of the Congo. I think the problems lie both in the vast size, the problems of keeping infrastructure, the enormous mineral wealth, outside influences, leading to inside corruption and decay. Congo was made to be a land of suffering and haven't had peace since it was divided up in enormous amounts of tribal cultures, with local strong men. So if it is to stay within the hopelessly large borders it currently have, the outside corrupting forces have to be kept outside, by arms if needed, and the inside, learned people and those with will and ability to do good, to be kept inside.
That's my thoughts as a non-Congolese with interest in and yet this lack of hope for the people of Congo and Africa in general.
Let Congo fix the Congo.
@@elvenkind6072The world's problems are not our responsibility. 🇺🇸
@@Hunter_Nebid Ok, so you feel drawn to a kind of pre-1916 Woodrow Wilson kind of America, isolated from the world, where campaign slogans like "He kept us out of war" and "America First" is more to your taste, then what have happened in the world in the century after that time? Cause as things are at the moment, *USA does have obligations and responsibilities that include a whole host of nations.*
For example Saudi Arabia, where the deal is oil for the US and security for the Saudi royalty and their Wahhabi clergy. If the Saudi's come under attack from foreign forces, then you and yours will potentially be drafted and have to meet on the battlefield somewhere in the Arabian deserts. It's not a very unlikely scenario given the importance energy have in the world and the enormous thirst specially Americans have for oil.
So if isolationism is your thing, then you can't the same time dream of things like big cars on endless US highways. Then it's back to a wagon drawn by a mule, or similar.
I do admire the Amish though. Hard working, God-fearing and good people, they seem to be.
Rwanda president Paul kagame is the person funding the genocide in Congo
In Slovakia, we handed over most of our weapons to Ukraine, including anti-aircraft defense and aircraft. We feed refugees who often don't look like refugees (cars, phones). Many poor men are hiding with us, because they would be caught at home and sent to the front. Our energy prices have risen several times. Politicians tell pensioners that there is no money to increase their meager incomes. Contaminated grain from Ukraine appeared in our country. Farmers are protesting against food imports from Ukraine.

Props to zelensky for still remaining level headed while some western countries think their pledge through because of negligence
Yeah, he's as level headed as the next cokehead.
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).
The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter.

💯
Honestly the us at least since Vietnam had made alot of those types of promises but rarely actually sticks to them
If I was another country I probably wouldn't believe america if we made promises because we back out of them all the time. The Iran nuclear deal is another deal we backed out of too just off the top of my head
Ukraine voided that deal with the US when it violated its peace treaty with Russia.

What a charmer you are 💩
I think USA and NATO have more to lose, both economically, militarily, politically, morally ETC. then to gain no matter what we spend of arms and treasure, by keeping the frontlines against Russia secure. Zelensky is a leader similar to Churchill, and have been a sorely needed voice of bravery and anything good we claim to stand for, after decades of isolationism and defeatism, and a moral decay, despite the most enormous material well being then at any time before in human history. If I had been 20 years younger and with health as a normal man, I'd be seriously considering traveling to the front and taking part of the battle against a power that seek to undermine the future of those closest to me, my countrymen and fellow brethren of Europe.
Comparing Churchill with a power hungry comedian is the biggest joke of the century.
Putin is the classic jilted boyfriend.
"If I can't have her, then no one can!!"
He's is like a guy who's girlfriend (Ukraine) left him 30 years ago after years of abuse at his hands, and he's never gotten over it. He still thinks he can get her back. 🤣
No. He just doesn't want her new boyfriend to have the car he lent her.
That is an excellent analogy 😂
It perfectly describes the relationships between Ukraine and Donbas.
*Nobody forced the US/NATO to:*
*1) Install a US puppet in Ukraine in 2014, via illegal coup*
*2) Use Ukraine as a forward operating base from which to undermine Russian national security*
*3) Open 14 Russia-threatening CIA bases/bio-labs throughout Ukraine*
*4) Facilitate Ukraine's slaughter of +15,000 ethnic Russians in Donbas for eight years*
*Western expansionism has consequences (say, 550K Ukro-KIAs).*

How can anyone be giving T a platform there??
Appeasing a dictator for hopes of peace didn't work for Neville Chamberlain with the Munich Agreement, and it won't work today. Anyone that thinks it will, should study history, it's full of useful lessons.
I totally agree. Putin have almost followed the exact same "plot" as Hitler before him. Just like Nazi-Germany first took over their own population by Hitlerism, then took back control over the Rhineland, when France was superior in military strength, then Austria and was given the Sudetenland in trade for "peace", only to continue with taking Czechoslovakia and not getting any military resistance until a massive war-machine was built up and going into Poland.
The same way Putin first started with the same gradual dictatorial rule, deceit and theft and murder, then went merciless against separatists/freedom-fighters in Chechnya, then Georgia, then Crimea, supporting civil wars in Syria and in Africa, building up the military that had been decaying since the end of the Soviet Union, along with a war-chest making sanctions virtually pointless. And not being taken seriously and the hostile, authoritarian, militarism challenged until a full on invasion of the whole of the Ukraine.
And similarly as Napoleon before, the start of the downfall didn't start before he over-extended, over-expanded and went for global domination instead of consolidating and using the many victories to make France stronger then ever before, and later generations to continue expansion.
The end of these authoritarian figures only seem to end when they get murdered, die, commit suicide or get put in exile for life, somewhere so far away, and so well guarded that escape is impossible. In the case of Russia it seem to me that the end of Putin can only realistically end by a similar death and because of the danger of nuclear war, murder only from the inside. He can't give up the power he have without his life, wealth and security for his family the same time. So the only thing to do from the outside is to continue to send in ever increasing numbers, weapons and ammunition and whatever other materials Ukraine need.
Got it ! We need to get rid of the comedian ASAP !
