    What about our commitment we gave to get Ukraine to give its Nukes AND Nuke-capable jets to Ruzzia?

      It proves US commitments are not to be relied on.

      @@ruthie8785Being compliant made Ukraine look weaker. Putin had been planning for a long time. 2014 was the west's compliance in not assisting which made it a whole lot easier for Putin.

    It was interesting to watch Rebellion The Litvinenko Case. A real insight into Russia.

    You don't have to be a Pulitzer prize winner to know that Ukraine has to win this war against Russia, and one doesn't have to e very smart to know that the biggest majority of Russia is against this war, but fear, and mis-information and confusion seem to be the key to this dilemma and the problem isn't going away just because we want it to, it has to do with the people of Russia themselves, they have to decide for themselves to rid themselves of the problem, and the problem is Mr. Putin, and the Kremlin.

      LOL. You realize there was an election in Russia were over 70% of the public cast a vote and almost 90% chose Putin, in the middle of a war. No western country comes close to this.The PM of the UK wasn't even elected and Zelensky is running a dictatorship now, since he cancelled elections in Ukraine.

    Ukraine's armament is simply not enough.
    The average age of Ukrainian soldiers is 43 years. A new law has been passed that lowers the minimum age from 27 to 25. At the same time, the troops that have been on the front lines for two years have to keep fighting because the promised demobilization after 36 months is not being implemented as originally announced.
    The soldiers are so exhausted that they are already surrendering important defense points to the Russians almost without a fight.
    If the US is not prepared to send troops itself, Ukraine will lose this war.

    😅This guy is talking about a fear deal with Putin. Is he out of his mind

    • @whoisme678
      @whoisme678 Před 18 dny

      Putin will keep using that because he has nothing else. IMO if Ukraine takes Crimea then the COULD theoretically sandwich the Russian troops between North and south IMO. Ukraine advance from west, north AND Crimea...
