  1. Putin hates nato and hates american soldiers on his border. This whole war started because US keeps pushing its boundaries provoking war!

  2. In case anyone wonders? yes they were all in one nice building in city of Kiev and everyone knew about them being in there. The guy you see there is not a president of the country. The point is that Russia has geopolitical + national security issues and the culprit of this war is not in that bldg. The talks will be extensive with the actual culprit and when the time is right.

  3. 10 seconds in and I already figured out again why I don’t watch main stream news. “Heres what he said” next, here’s are “expert” to tell us what this means. No. Nah. Just tell me what transpired. Don’t need your input.

  4. Putin's invasion is NATO'S FAULT, for dangling membership in front of Ukraine, but without making the promise of immediate membership should Putin invade. The head of NATO must be working for Putin. US boots on the ground in Ukraine is the only solution to preventing Putin from taking over Europe. We are already committed.

  5. Key Findings:
    653,104 people experienced homelessness in the U.S. in 2023. That number represents a record-high tally and a 12 percent increase over 2022.

    111,620 children were without homes in America last year.

  6. I can't imagine Ukraine accepting total takeover by Russia, as that would be worse than dying – based on what the Russians did during the initial invasion. If that looks like it is going to happen they will likely use their drones and any available nuclear material for a "got you last" dirty drop, triggering nuclear war.

    And I can't imagine the West to be so naive as to not be aware of this, and not like the consequences. So, the real question is whether the West will engage and support Ukraine properly now… or later, to prevent such an outcome.

  7. He wants to join NATO because then all NATO alliances will have to help. It’s absolutely awful what Russia has done to Ukraine, but if we don’t stay out of it we could be staring at WWIII. I don’t even think theUS should be supplying weapons. With escalating tension in the Middle East, Iran now involved, and all the discord in western nations over migrants, this is a terrifying powder keg with a very short fuse.

  8. Obviously this should be the endgame, bringing in Ukraine gives us the most powerful possible check on the Russians, but it’s a bit too early. The conflict has to end before we cross that bridge. Next step should be integrating Japan, Australia, and New Zealand into the framework. The Philippines and Vietnam too if they’re willing. We’re more vulnerable from the Pacific than the Atlantic at the moment.

  9. He has enough money paid to him personally for his presidency in Ukraine, he is no longer official president, he can pay for continuing this war from his own salary. As far i understand this war made him now billionaire or millionaire. He has enough money to stop this battle and rebuild Ukraine back as it was before

  10. Zelensky is like a crazy guy. He felt like he was standing in the middle of a quagmire, the more he tried to mess around, the deeper he sank. Crazy to get into Nato. Then the country was devastated and the people suffered. Then America and Nato will abandon him like Vietnam and Afghanistan😢😢

  11. The plan is very simple and consists of three words – give, give, give. The problem is that the Ukrainian Fuhrer has already been given and quite a lot during 2022 and 2023. There is nothing more to give, but Zelensky still asks. For what? To keep the stupid Ukies in the trenches, because while the Ukies, charmed by fairy tales about Europe and great America, are dying, Zelensky and his gang are making good money. And here, perhaps, it is worth citing a few sobering figures about the state of the hegemon – this decrepit state is no longer capable of participating in conflicts around the world, it is not even able to provide for its own army.
