Rather terrifying how onesided and full of lies it is.

​@@vaasdaas9587 Ain't no lies in this video. The truth about WW2 was one sided as well.

Is it not possible for the West to bog Russia down in a forever war? Right now it looks like the frontlines are barely moving anyway, on either side.

you mean the minsk agreements that happened in the first place BECAUSE RUSSIA FUCKING INVADED UKRAINE IN 2014??? those minsk agreements? The ones that Russia violated? Oh, STFU already.

And they didn't mention the UFOs and biolabs!

The minsk agreements were dead on arrival because Russia continued its illegal presence in Eastern Ukraine. Secretary of defense did not state "this war was supposed to erode Russian military power" but rather that we will use the war Russia started to erode Russian military (so they think long and hard before engaging in expansionist behavior again). ie. Russia will be made to pay a price for its revanchist behavior. Way to mischaracterize SecDef Austin's statements.

Simple answer. Ukrainians would die in hundreds of thousands in order to get Crimea. American lives are too precious to be expended that many.

The Jewish lobby doesn't want a Russian defeat as the olygarchs have Israel's passports and are laundering allvthe money they steal in Israel. Israel decides the USA foreign policy.

I think that Ukraine will have to leave that until next year, their pilots won't be ready until next spring.

Well, isn't that the elephant hiding in plain sight, imccom? I strongly suspect leaders know the answer to that question, but naturally refuse to answer, at least publicly. It pains me greatly to say this, but I'll say it again: this war will remain stalemated for as long as the West denies Ukraine access to a legitimate third-dimensional capability.

US/NATO just wants Ukraine to bleed Russia enough to enact regime change. Biden said as much. That is never going to happen. Russia has 10x manpower at this point, and 5x equipment, not to mention the radioactive weapons.

yep, pure imperialism

'pretty much' indicates that there are differences. . What would be the biggest difference ? .

tl;dr: "I want it gimme gimme gimme"

In a similar vein, the Downing Street Memos, and the cooking of facts and Intel, to support a predetermined decision to invade Iraq.

He helped start the war. You're insane.

@@letdaseinlive Haha, oh my. Take your goddamned meds. Then again, I suppose it would interfere with your next slurred and poorly conveyed bit of sophistry.

Many people including most Ukrainians believed Putin was using as negotiating leverage.

“The invasion of Iraq was neither in self defense against armed attack, nor sanctioned by the UN Security Council authorizing the use of force by member states and thus constituted the Crime of War of Aggression” (International Commission of Jurists Geneva)…The US invasion of Iraq was declared illegal by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Sept 15, 2004.

It’s literally all bs. It’s sad really. Tragic.

​@@jessiejb4684 You sound upset Ivan. Your boys failed to reach Kyiv.

What do you think about strong countries bombing defenseless countries?

Putin is not waiting for Trump , he waited for current idiot in charge to start the war.

The western press convinced Americans that Russia attacked Georgia because they knew no one even knew George was not just a southern state. Read the EU commission report after their investigation to cut through all the NeoCon propaganda and found in their conclusion that as Guarantor of the treaty between South Ossetia Russia had to move in to stop the unprovoked attack with the just delivered weapons from the US which also moved their trainers and commander just off shore the morning of the Georgian bombardment, that is still called McCain's War as the main person that pushed the US to create the conflict by murdering 21 legal UN mandated Russian peace-keepers. After the attack started Russia tried to convene the UNSC but the US and UK vetoed it. So Russia had no choice but to stop the attack. They did and pulled out on the 6th day. So even the EU Commission said the fault was entirely rented on Georgia. But the myth remains as you have proven. Facts just do not matter. The same people are writing the claims that Russia was unprovoked in entering the region of the LPR, which had declared independence from the US coup installed Nazis into almost every agency and departments of the government. They were not a majority but each was aggressive and violent enough to control the entire government but the over all control was the US Embassy under Biden. The Ukraine government had always been very corrupt and Biden fit right in. The war started almost right away, since the people of the Donbas rebelled against the new anti-Russian language, culture and violent suppressing of all their rights and declared loyalty to the only elected government. 10s of thousands of ethnic Russians who had lived there 300 years before the 20th century annexation of Russian lands east and south of the Dnieper River, which had made the tiny Kiev city state into large country, increasing Kiev city-state land mass 650% and giving the land locked Kiev their first access to the coast and historically Russian cities such as Odessa. The violence against the majority Russian people, and minority Tartar people who had been there thousands of years was unique in modern era. The war started 8 years before the people of the US were told Russia invaded as march to take over Europe. Every word printed or uttered in the west has been a lie, just like Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Iraq and so many other myths. The Neocon goal from the start was to destroy Russia to gain control of its resources, a mission that came very close to working in the 1990s when the US controlled most of the Yeltsin government with embedded American "advisors". All this was obvious to all of us who were there at the time but nothing that was true was reported in the west. The hatred of Putin rose when he started cleaning up the government tackling the corruption that Washington has installed early on. The impact on the economy was felt right away and steadily improved the quality of life of the people since 1999. Losing control of Russia's vast resources made Putin the most reviled person in the world according to Washington. The media campaign to paint the great reformer as a power hungry thug started very early, and his effective stamping out of corruption was labeled as corruption and wild stories were a constant feature of news in the west and foreign owned press in Russia. Yet, still, after 24 years, no evidence supports the claims.

Georgia bombed the hell out of the civilians in South Ossetia and killed many Russian peacekeepers, there under the authority of the UN. Russia pushed back Georgia’s military and returned to Russia within a few days. In Syria the CIA was arming ‘moderate rebels’ aka al-Qaeda and isis who were about to take over the country until the gov of Syria requested Russia’s help. The people of Syria are thankful for russias help, obviously not wanting to live under authority of head chopping terrorists. U.s. military still occupies 1/3rd of Syria, the resource rich regions, stealing the countries oil and occupying agricultural region, while occasionally dropping bombs on the country. Please inform yourself. I understand how easy it is to take what you hear as fact but unfortunately and tragically, our media and politicians lie.

The way I see it is that he has been asserting its right to have a secure perimeter. Georgia was invaded because it voiced its intentions to join NATO. On the other hand The US has been stating the opposite: Russia is not a great power and hence has no right to a secure perimeter. The conflict will last until these opposing viewpoints are reconciled.

That would take over a trillion dollars to achieve.

And act with their guts !

It’s unbelievable that things have escalated to this point. Strongly respect and support Ukraine to have nothing other then a military victory all the way to the KERCH bridge. ✊🏻🇺🇦🇺🇦👏🏻🍻🇦🇺🤗 Slava Ukraini

I hope you reach the front soon, so that you may realize your beliefs and help with the "proper Ukrainian victory."

Loyd Austin declared that the main goal of this war was to weaken Russia. Even if this wasn't an existential conflict when the invasion started, those declarations have turned this war into an existential threat for Russia. They will not stop and continue to escalate as the conflict continues... I really don't see how this ends in a good way for any of both of the countries involved.

​​@@adelatorremotheletRussia were warned multiple times prior to launching their invasion. The fact that they now consider themselves in an existential conflict, is a self ignited one.

Always overestimate your enemy and underestimate yourselves. This is a recipe for victory. The quantity of arms required for Ukraine to win(restore full territorial integrity including Crimea) would require over a trillion dollars in materiel and support. That's not something the US should commit to or can afford to commit to. At best we can offer a stalemate.

Did you consider the situation from Hitler's point of view?

He is blind.

how do we end this horrible war

Trump won't win. He's made himself toxic outside his base.

It's a fine balance for escalation and necessity. Russia took the bait and is bleeding out economically and military, which is a win win for NATO and without them being "directly involved". It's a war of survival for Ukraine and Russia and NATO is firmly on one side.

It’s not cynical it’s deliberative. All the actions of, particularly the US, forced the RF to invade. We are bleeding out the RF forces using the blood of Ukrainians and Zelensky has sold out his young men for his 30 pieces of US silver. I’d put Zelensky up there with the most despicable leaders of the last 300 years. All the time Russians are dying the aid will trickle in, as soon as the death stops we will bolt and run. Zelensky will disappear to his prosperous exile and Ukraine will be left a husk, probably to be split between the RF and Poland.

i totally agree. The cynic would then say that it is better for the West for the Ukrainian youth to die rather than our youth in 5-20 years' time when Putin further expanded.

Putin committed and unforced error, he didn’t have to invade Ukaine

Some bastard had just spat out flout NATO is not Amazon shops where Ukraine could ask for this and that !

💓💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

they bombed the former yugoslavia because Serbia invaded and killed thousands of Croatians

BS. Nothing was going to stop Russia. Russia has always been a blood-thirsty country. Before the Soviet, during the Soviet, and after. Its conquests will only ever be limited by its incompetence and corruption.

Libya, Kosovo, Libya.

As a student of modern history, I’m afraid to say that I missed the declaration of war to which you refer. Could you please provide the date and location of the declaration so that I can verify it. It’s just that I’m fearing that you are making an utterly idiotic and fabricated assertion.

Geez.

Both wars against Ukraine happened on Biden's watch. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

NATO is a defense alliance…

USA's out of ammo. Russia's growing.

This sounds about as realistic as "Kyiv in 3 days".

You mean Biden?

You mean, after a strong president like Trump a senile geriatric like biden who is only interested in enriching his family wouldn't try to stop him?

Wtf you talking about. He invaded soon as Biden started 😂

Lay off the coke.

​@user-pd9ju5dk5s I'm not defending Biden and how he ended Afghanistan war but putin definitely miscalculated what Biden would do. There's a reason the ruskies are VERY optimistic about Trump getting reelected. At this point, if the ruskies are supporting you then you're lumped in with DKRK, Iran, and (to some extent) China.

Both wars against Ukraine happened on Biden's watch. A coincidence, surely.

No. USA is irrational.
