1. Does Putin remember that US-NATO the most accurate, swift, colossal nuclear weapons too' surrounding Russia, under Sea, on the sea, land, air even in space?

2. Stop the war it is the best way for all.

3. They got trapped. Usa wants to ruin the game. Due to the enormous debth. They want a reset. It was usa that tried to collapse euro back in 2008. It was usa that push Russia into ukranie. They want a big war to reset their hegemony. Something like ww2. Where every body was fighting except usa. They want total disaster, so they can stay in power. Push rest of asia against China. And pushing Europe against Russia. West Asia is not worth it for them. But Europe and east Asia are. Due to the economic powers that is a challenge to the dollar.

4. Putin does not need options because he is winning and will get what he wants.

5. Clark has been wrong about everything since day one but this time he thinks hes got it figured out huh? Lets go brandon!

6. Putin expects us to hamstring the Ukranians when he is happily lobbing N Korean and Iranian imported long range systems.
   How towing to the threats just hands the initiative to Putin and his war of naked aggression.

7. Slav o'krain from Birmingham west midlands.

8. Same for NATO 😁

9. I think FREE COUNTRIES should have VOTING to on this Bullcrap. The world only knows ONE side of MEDIA that they give Ukraine is so corrupt look at there leader where did all the money go before this started huh the WORLDS LARGEST exporter of grain does not have a pot to piss in so they beggers off others like let these people have what’s coming to them

10. What can Ruizzia do that they aren't already doing? Nothing.

11. Sounds like people are finally beginning to understand the realizations that further war is inevitable.

12. Putins comments now remind me of the Chinese warning the UN to not push N Korea to it's border back in early 1950s. The Americans ignored the Chinese warnings, China attacked the US positions and then pushed them backed down the peninsula, with great loss of life on all sides.
    I agree that Putin has no choice but to double down. Every day I watch to see if escalation to organophostate has happened . but Russia seems to be holding back so far.
    Plenty room for Putin to double down and reach for his next bigger hammer .. gas but then it's on to battlefield nukes in the low kiloton range.
    I predict this wont end well

13. It is obvious these have not learn nothing from world war 2.

14. Russia will obliterate NATO and Europe. No defence spending cuts in Russia . Putin is playing with Ukraine to provoke NATO. Poke the Russian bear at your peril.

15. More propaganda from skynews ( U.S paid propaganda tool )

16. Problem with the West is the whole ritual it has to go through for the next step that its opponents have time to do all sorts of things, from preparation to threatening to preemptive actions if needed to.

17. 1991 Gorbachev returns East Germany and withdraws 400,000+ Soviet troops from Germany. In return the US and NATO will not expand 'even one inch to the east'.
    – 1999 NATO expands east into Poland, Hungary and Czechia, the Secretary of Defence, the Head of the CIA and the ambassador to Russia tell Clinton that this will lead to war and one or more threaten to resign.
    – 2000 Russia suggests joining NATO but is told by the US intel and political agencies it is impossible.
    – 2004 NATO expands east again, directly into former states like the three Baltic states, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria.
    – 2008 Putin tells NATO that NATO expansion into Georgia or Ukraine is a redline.

    – Russia invades Crimea without a shot being fired and the Crimea people vote 90-10 in favour of being Russian than Ukrainian.
    – 2021 US and NATO officially begin discussions for Ukraine to join NATO.
    – 2022 Russia invades with a small force to force Ukraine to negotiate.
    – 2022 Isreal and Turkey organise and referee peace talks where Russia agrees to withdraw and Ukraine agrees to never join the EU or NATO.
    – 2022 As soon as the US, NATO and EU hear an agreement has been reached they send Boris Johnson to go and promise Ukraine support to fight Russia, Ukraine walks away from peace talks.

18. They never can deny to say they make the biggest mistake Britain n America Against Russia

19. Most of USA citizens are sick of Biden and Zelensky, senile old man and a comedian using USA funds like toilet paper.

20. Can we stop poking the bear pls?

21. Why he’s talking completely different point from what he’s been saying before he was saying that Ukraine was winning all the way

22. Find a more educated yt guy this one is dumb

23. Russia bots are trying to cope so hard . 😂😂 Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine so how do they think they can take on all of nato .

24. Russia could have been a giant Norway – with the highest standard of living, huge guaranteed pensions and best infrastructure. But better than Norway, because Russia also has beaches, and ALL the resources. But Putin f'ed it all up and spend the oil billions on corruption, weapons and war. Now big parts of Russia are third world trash and it´s getting worse.

    He will be remembered as the biggest kleptocrat in history and the destroyer of the biggest and richest country ever.
    wow.

25. Putin is taking over so move over Ukraine

26. Bs. Putin did not start this war. He defend only. Now he is forced to take countries from the map, together with help from Nord Korea and China, since now the 3 countries have a mutual article 4 to help each other against agressors

27. Uk and America are fighting the war just by using Ukraine as there lab rats supplying them with ammunition while innocent Ukrainians are dying

28. In other words, "Putin is winning and has no option but to keep winning."

29. Putin's only hope is for a weak West. If the west were to stand up to him, he'd pull all his troops from Ukraine in a day.
