  1. 9:18 Destroying Russian equipment and the ability of the Russians military to wage war.

    Thank God you didn't have people like this in charge in the 1930s and early 1940s.

    "Here Britain you can have these weapons but you can ONLY use them on British soil. Don't you dare to actually strike Nazi German war depots and war production, you hear?"

    If you had my country would still be ruling all of Europe and I'd be dead by now since I could not accept living under a fascist regime.

  2. Why are we giving communist countries our fighter jets? Why did Zelenskyy arrest his opponent before the election? Sounds familiar to me, but let’s not jump to conclusions!! Although I can say that Ukraine isn’t a democracy nor part of NATO. Why are we sending weapons to them? I’ll bet Biden has the answer for that!!

  3. They are trying to hide the truth so much. "Retribution to losses on the border "?? Really? Can't you mention it that it is retribution for attack on a civilian apartment?

  4. Biden and Harris have had nothing but disasters: wars, border controls, inflation and economic depression. Intel is at risk due to Chinese tech deregulation, Big Mac index is down, UPS holiday delivery is worse, small businesses are in danger, and people earning $35,000 have lost sales at dollar stores. They should go to jail as traitors.

  5. From different corner information about Ukraine F 16 , I am failed to understand as whether Ukrainian F 16 was shot by Russian Forces or it was got crashed due to sudden death of pilot . As far as I remember this is for the first time during Russia Ukraine was that a F 16 has been shot by Russian Forces . How it became possible that Russian Forces shot F 16 . I am very much bothered from this incident , because Pakistan Air Force is only proud of F 16 and Indian Air Force is very much afraid of it .

  6. This is war ! What this pilot does is dangerous ! — Maybe shooting a cruise missile made this missile explode and debris could come in the engine ??? there is room for speculation

  7. Putin must be overthrown now b4 its too late. He damages the image of Russian people. He is not qualified to be a leader in a country. All Russian must kick him out. He is a trouble maker..

  8. One basic fact is that it was shutdown either by a barrage of Russian missiles and drones or by friendly fire from an Ukrainian Patriot Air Defense System in error

  9. Когда уже это все закончиться ? надоела грызня , смерти , тонны денег в пустоту , ложь и пропоганда со всех сторон (в Росии говорят одно в Украине другое в США я вообще молчу) , всем мира
