1. According to the west, everything that Russia does, it shows weaknesses but According to the same west anything Ukraine does it shows strength even when Zalensky shuffles the cabinet and even when Ukraine loses territory.

2. Should election interference be defined as an act of war? If so, America has every right to defend itself and should do so by allowing Ukraine to defend itself in any way they see fit.

3. Nobody saw a meat grinding so far not a single videos available after 2 years 😂😂😂😂😂😂

4. No matter what you can say about Russia. The world sees that Russia is defeateing the USA plus NATO and Ukraine all of them combined. Russia is fighting alone others fight as a gang of 32 countries.

5. The men remaining after Russia retreats will all get the most beautiful women compared to before the war. Too bad the only men left will be senior citizens!

17. If the Military is growing by another 180,000 is an antithesis of what your guest suggest

18. Your so called expert looks amateur to me. They should just sell hotdogs or something.

    Russia expanding its army because of the Western threat. In short, they are building up their army in case of much bigger war. Simple.
