  1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF EVERYONE HAS A MILLION DOLLARS ? It means the word loses its meaning.
    The same way his boost of untrained troops is useless when matched against NATO counterparts 🤣🤣🤣

  2. There is no threats to Russia, they need to increase army size to compensate for their heavy losses, due their invasion of another country – Ukraine. Russia are the biggest threat to everyone else.

  3. To understand what the mistake of the USSR and the Russian Federation is, we need to compare how it is in healthy countries, for example America and Canada, why are they not in a state of emergency or war among themselves? because in countries like these there is no threat that someone from them wants to harm us. That America, for example, will not steal something from Canada. And why is there a threat in the USSR and the Russian Federation that America and other countries will harm you. Or will NATO rob the Russian Federation? they allegedly had and are about to steal something from the USSR and the Russian Federation. This is a mistake in thinking. It is enough to have healthy relationships, do not terrorize, do not intimidate and do not attack. Give other countries good conditions so that they do not want to change anything, give them a sense of security and prosperity. and what did the USSR and the Russian Federation do? It creates such conditions that countries such as Chechnya, Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine want to separate from them, because the Russian Federation creates very bad conditions for them. For example, America creates good conditions for Canada and Canada for America. the problem is in the minds of certain Russians. So Vladimir Lenin's idea and execution were only wrong and these mistakes were continued by Joseph Stalin, today Vladimir Putin… That's the point. The problem is in thinking and perceiving reality. A person should work with his head, with his thinking. It's a pity that Vladimir Lenin didn't work with his thoughts. We still have these mistakes today in this war. U079

  4. West has pushed world to the edge. Europe, middle east, Asia, Africa where you are involve you have destroyed world peace. Your hypocrisy towards Palestine has changed the world

  5. One thing that people don't understand is that even with decreased resistance by the Ukrainians the Russians must proceed slowly and methodically due to the presence of land mines, booby traps and drones.

  6. Putin be like Saddam when he invaded iran and becone the 4th largest army in the world, but when it in came contact with the yanks at Kuwait, it fell apart with 250:1 death ratio.😂😂

  7. Russia : Attacks a sovereign country, killing thousands and illegally annexing territories.

    Also Russia : "We are being threatened here 🤡!!".

  8. Why does Putin want to kill more young Russians? Because he played poker and now can’t stop. Unfortunately he is playing with thousands of lives plus the possibility of the Russian economy collapsing. Putin Will eventually have to start printing billions of worthless roubles that will only buy Russia products. How sad that for a few power greedy corrupt leaders.

  9. Their boosting becouse the us and nato our rheir border china 🇨🇳 and North korea and turky increadsed their size iran to but the county i love the most Vietnam 🇻🇳 increase its size the west wont a war they will get one
